Chapter 130: One Light and One Dark
Zuo Le looked at the shadow of the hand in front of him, tears flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, he flipped his right palm and slapped the ground in the air, and the shadow of his palm hit the ground heavily.
" Bang!" With a sound, the hard bluestone ground was covered with spider-web-like cracks, and there was a palm print.
Zuo Le stared blankly at the clearly visible hand prints on the ground. Bitter scenes of the past emerged in his mind, and finally two lines of tears rolled down his face.
After a long time, Zuo Le wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and his hunched back gradually straightened.
"Congratulations, Master Zuo!" Qin Ziling stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Haha, this is all thanks to you!" Zuo Le said happily.
"You are my master, I don't deserve your words." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
“I should be the one saying this. You are already much better than me now. And without you, I would never be able to break through to the Hua Jin realm in my lifetime.” Zuo Le said seriously.
"I just rely on my youth and strength." Qin Ziling said modestly.
"You, if I hadn't just broken through and urgently needed external force, I'm afraid you would still be hiding it from me." Zuo Le was speechless when he saw that his beloved disciple, who obviously already had a head-on battle with him, was still so self-deprecating.
"Hehe!" Qin Ziling smiled without comment.
"I can't believe you are only 20 years old this year!" Zuo Le said with emotion.
I don't know whether he was impressed by Qin Ziling's strength, or his character that was even more patient and deep than that of an old man in the world!
"Hehe!" Qin Ziling smiled again, revealing two rows of white teeth, just like a simple boy next door.
Looking at Qin Ziling's simple face, Zuo Le was speechless again.
If he had not experienced these things personally, he would definitely have been deceived by Qin Ziling's appearance.
But in fact, the disciple in front of him was a strong man whose strength was almost as good as that of a Hua Jin martial artist, and he was quick, decisive and ruthless when it came to killing people.
Thinking of this, something suddenly flashed through Zuo Le's mind. He was shocked and looked at Qin Ziling and lowered his voice and asked, "Did you kill Jiang Yue before the New Year?"
"Alas, we just happened to meet in the wilderness. He wanted to kill me, but there was nothing I could do!" Qin Ziling shrugged and said helplessly with an innocent look on his face.
Even the Nine-Transformation Blood Essence Bone Strengthening Secret Pill had been given away, so there was no need to hide this matter from Zuo Le.
Of course, if Zuo Le didn’t ask, Qin Ziling would definitely not talk about it on his own initiative.
Zuo Le was stunned when he heard this, and a chill was rising from his back.
He just had a sudden thought and asked about it, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yue was actually killed by Qin Ziling.
This means that he had the ability to kill a martial artist who used dynamic energy before the New Year, and Jiang Yue was also very agile.
But he did not react at all when facing the suppression from Nangong Yue, the provocation from Wu Cheng and others, and later being kicked in public by Lin Zhengji. This kind of forbearance made even Zuo Le feel a chill down his spine just thinking about it.
Fortunately, he is my disciple, and he is loyal to his friends!
If he were my enemy, I would die without knowing how!
Fortunately, Zuo Le has not dared to connect the disappearance of Lin Zhengji and Lin Jingyue with Qin Ziling, otherwise it would not be as simple as feeling a chill down his spine!
After a while, Zuo Le finally came to his senses. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his inexplicably dry throat before speaking again: "Are you really determined to give the remaining secret pill to Xinghan?"
"Apart from my mother, I don't have many relatives and friends in this world who are truly worth interacting with. Senior Brother Zheng is one of them because he is a real person and treats people sincerely." Qin Ziling said seriously.
Zuo Le looked at Qin Ziling, and at this moment he seemed to have completely forgotten his cunning and forbearance that was almost terrifying. All he felt was awe and an indescribable sense of security in his heart.
This kind of person is undoubtedly the most terrifying as an enemy, but if you are a friend, you can completely trust your life to him!
"Okay, then I'll call Xinghan in now. This secret pill is yours, and you can give it to him." Zuo Le said.
"Alright." Qin Ziling nodded and took the pill bottle, not being pretentious. "But after he takes the medicine, you still have to trouble Master Zuo to take action. I won't do anything."
Zuo Le naturally understood the implication of Qin Ziling's words. He pointed at him helplessly and shook his head, saying, "It is said that young people are full of energy and like to compete. But you don't look like a young person at all. On the contrary, you are more mature than me."
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I don't want to die young, so it's better this way. Besides, Master Zuo, you are already a master of Hua Jin now. From now on, you will be in the light while I will be in the dark. This is the best way to save your life in this chaotic world.
Look, Xujiabao was once so prosperous, but it was destroyed, wasn't it? So we should try to keep as much as possible, so that if something happens, we won't sit and wait for death without any trump cards to play. "Qin Ziling said.
Zuo Le's heart was shocked when he heard this. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Ziling seriously, saying, "That's right, you see much more deeply than I do.
When I was young, I also had great ambitions and wanted to achieve great things, but these ambitions have long been worn away by time and reality. Now you have aroused my former ambitions again. From now on, I will obey your orders and arrangements. "
"Master Zuo, how can this be done?" Qin Ziling asked hurriedly after hearing this.
In his previous life, he respected teachers and education. In this life, the original owner of this body was also a person who read the books of sages and also a person who respected teachers and education.
Therefore, although his secret strength has already surpassed Zuo Le by a large margin, as long as Zuo Le treats him with sincerity, he will naturally respect him as his teacher and will not dare to harbor any contempt or disrespect.
"In this world, the strong are respected and the successful are prioritized. Besides, I am already old. Even if I break through to the Huajin realm thanks to you, how many years can I live?
The world is now showing signs of chaos, and I have to consider a way out for my relatives and descendants. So, I obey your orders for the future of my family and relatives, and I have selfish motives, so you don't have to feel any burden in your heart, and you don't have to be humble." Zuo Le said seriously.
"Master Zuo, don't worry. As long as I'm alive, your relatives and family will never let you down, unless they don't live up to their expectations." Qin Ziling thought about it after hearing this and said with a serious face.
Troubled times are like a rolling torrent, which cannot be resisted by one person alone.
The benefits of unity are far greater than those of one person fighting alone.
Qin Ziling knew all this very well.
So since last year, he has actually been intentionally cultivating his own strength in secret .
First it was Liu Xiaoqiang, then Bao Yingjun, and then Xiao Qing and Shao E.
However, Liu Xiaoqiang and Bao Yingjun are still too weak, and Xiao Qing and Shao E should not be exposed, as they are cards hidden in the dark. Therefore, although Qin Ziling's personal strength is soaring at this time, the power he can actually mobilize in the open is almost zero.
Without any power to use, Qin Ziling couldn't do many things freely. For example, he couldn't raise exotic animals. He could only temporarily foster the black-winged black water stork that Xiao Qingbai gave him at the Xiao family. He couldn't recruit and train people either...
But if there is the Hua Jin martial artist Zuo Le operating in the open, then these problems can be easily solved. Moreover, with him, Xiao Qing and Shao E in secret, once an unexpected event occurs, even if they cannot catch the enemy off guard, at least they will have room to maneuver and will not be completely defeated.
So, seeing that Zuo Le had made his point clear, Qin Ziling stopped being pretentious and humble with him.
"If they don't live up to expectations in the future, you just have to deal with them!" Zuo Le said solemnly.
"Thank you, Master Zuo." Qin Ziling bowed slightly when he saw that Zuo Le trusted him so much.
"This is what I should do. The country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. Now that I have made this decision, I will follow the rules!" Zuo Le said.
This simple sentence made Qin Ziling suddenly respect the elder who looked a little hunched in front of him. He was also happy to find such a trustworthy, decisive, far-sighted and overall-minded teacher.
"Master Zuo, you can let Senior Brother Zheng in now." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay." Zuo Le nodded.
Soon, Zheng Xinghan was called in, and Lin Shou was still guarding outside the inner courtyard door.
"Senior brother, this is for you." Seeing Zheng Xinghan coming in, Qin Ziling didn't waste any words and directly handed the bottle of pills in his hand to him.
"What is this?" Zheng Xinghan looked puzzled.
"This is a secret pill. After you take it, you should be able to successfully condense your strength and become a strength martial artist. Zi Ling obtained this secret pill accidentally. There are only two in total. One was given to me and one is given to you." Zuo Le looked serious and took the initiative to help explain.
"There is a nine out of ten chance that you can successfully condense your strength and become a strength martial artist!" Zheng Xinghan's whole body shook violently, his eyes suddenly widened, and he almost suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
After the New Year, he was already 33 years old. Even if he ate wild first-grade exotic beasts, the chance of successfully condensing his strength was pitifully low. Only second-grade wild exotic beasts would have a slightly higher chance. However, the strength of second-grade wild exotic beasts was equivalent to that of a martial arts master. At least two or three martial arts masters would have to work together to catch and kill them.
With his talent and age, even if he was born into a wealthy noble family, his family would not be willing to give him second-grade exotic beast meat to eat.
This world is very realistic. Only people with a promising future and potential have the opportunity to be vigorously cultivated! For someone like him, no one is willing to spend a lot of effort and money on him.
But now, Zuo Le told him that what he held in his hand was a secret pill that would most likely help him successfully condense his strength. How could Zheng Xinghan not be shocked and how could he dare to believe it?
Seeing Zheng Xinghan's face full of shock and disbelief, Zuo Le smiled faintly, raised his hand, and traces of strength gushed out from his palm, forming the shadow of a horizontal sword emitting a chill.
Cold Iron Palm, using palm instead of knife.
Once the power is transformed, Zuo Le's best skill is naturally to transform it into a sword, which doubles the lethality.
