Chapter 1416: Leng Qingyi
Upon hearing Jing Changle’s words, even Gong Chengyan was momentarily stunned, “Rehearsal?”Jing Changle nodded, “Today’s events were almost all anticipated by Aunt Bei, which is why I took precautions.”
Gong Yunfei suddenly understood, “No wonder you’re so calm, but originally our Changle never panics in face of situations either, hahahaha. However, that elder is truly remarkable, even Leng Qingyi didn’t notice any issues.”
Gong Chengyan spoke, “That may not be the case.”
Gong Yunfei asked in confusion, “How?”
Gong Chengyan said, “Although the elder is indeed very formidable, when Leng Qingyi was leaving, he gave me a certain look, a very peculiar look.”
Gong Yunfei widened his eyes, “He noticed?” Then added, “Actually, even if he did notice, it wouldn’t matter. Leng Qingyi is indeed a righteous person, perfect for drawing people in.”
Although there are two factions, the relations between both sides are very good, sharing similar goals for the future, but they are disappointed with the current state of the Pengge Sect, different powers led to forming two factions.
Gong Chengyan shook his head, “I don’t think he discovered anything, but he probably harbors some suspicions.”
As Gong Yunfei was about to say more, a servant reported that Elder Leng had arrived.
In major sects like theirs, servants are brought along, making it more convenient to speak and act.
Only new emerging sects like Qingyu, which don’t have so many formalities and mostly operate by themselves, would employ temporary help here.
Not long after, Leng Qingyi entered alone, his gaze lingering on Jing Changle for a few seconds after entering.
“Is there a particular reason for Elder Leng’s visit?” Gong Chengyan gestured ‘please’.
Leng Qingyi sat down and straightforwardly said, “The spirit damage on the prodigy is quite strange, but I can’t pinpoint what’s odd.” After speaking, he immediately added, “Rest assured, no one saw me come here.”
The servants belong to the Gong Family, so there’s no worry about them tattling; keeping their mouths shut is sufficient.
Upon hearing Leng Qingyi’s words, the Gong Family siblings realized he noticed something amiss.
Nonetheless, they admired the elder, for Leng Qingyi is notably accomplished in this area, yet only sensed something off without realizing it was a disguise; where on earth did Beisitian find such experts?
Perhaps they should venture to that place too…
“Elder Leng, about your words…”
Before Gong Yunfei could finish, Leng Qingyi said, “Yunfei, we’ve known each other for a long time; it’s better to be open, it’s beneficial for everyone. You know I’m not on the same path as Sun Zhancheng.”
The Gong Family siblings exchanged glances; was he offering his loyalty?
Or perhaps not, as Jing Changle hardly achieves the level of a true prodigy, this pledge of loyalty seems unrealistic.
Gong Chengyan smiled faintly, “Elder Leng, why don’t you first explain your purpose.”
Leng Qingyi nodded slightly and said, “If Peng Pavilion continues this way, it will be doomed sooner or later.”
Gong Chengyan’s eyes grew deep.
“You are as aware as I am: the Nie Family is prevailing, Sun Zhancheng is focused solely on expanding his own power, amassing wealth vigorously, and has no plans for Peng Pavilion’s future. Facing the formidable Nie Family, or even without them, it won’t last for many generations.”
As Leng Qingyi continued speaking, a deep concern showed on his face.
“I was born as part of Peng Pavilion and don’t want to see it continue down this small ravine. The only ones sharing the same philosophy within the sect are you. I believe if we could ally, leverage the prodigy’s reputation, perhaps we could salvage something, and at least not allow Peng Pavilion to keep declining.”
