Chapter 431 Huang Ling
"You all have children?"

Hearing Gu Mengqi's joke, Lin Changqiang's smile immediately brightened. Zhou Tong and Ling Shan were also laughing secretly. Only Ying Huanhuan opened her eyes wide, and the blush on her face was like the morning glow.

"Sister Mengqi!"

"Haha, just kidding~"

Gu Mengqi smiled teasingly, and Gu Ya beside her couldn't help but relax and smiled.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin, for ranking 16th on the Rookie List." Gu Yan smiled softly, but she felt a little lost and emotional in her heart.

When they first met, their cultivation bases were similar. Lin Changqiang was at the Small Success Stage of the Profound Life Realm, while she was at the Half-Step Profound Life Realm. But she didn't expect that after such a short time, she was still at the Small Success Stage of the Profound Life Realm, while the other person was already at the Profound Death Realm...

After a round of greetings, the seven of them got to know each other. When they learned that Mu Lingshan had already reached the perfection of Shengxuan Realm at a young age, and Zhou Tong had even reached the legendary Zhuanlun Realm, Gu Yan and the other two were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time. But soon they were attracted by Lingshan's cute appearance. The five of them chatted non-stop, leaving Lin Changqiang and Zhou Tong aside.

Looking at this scene, the two of them smiled at each other at the same time, and their mood unexpectedly calmed down. Unfortunately, this peace did not last long.

At the gate, a group of people swarmed in. The man in the front was wearing a yellow shirt, his back was straight, and a wanton and ostentatious smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as he appeared, he caused some discussion in the pavilion, and it seemed that he had some background.

Ying Huanhuan subconsciously glanced at the door, then turned her head nonchalantly and planned to continue chatting with the Gu sisters, but then she was slightly stunned, because the three girls at this time all frowned slightly.

"Who is that?"

"Fu Hai Sect's Huang Ling, ninth on the rookie list."

"Do you know?"

Gu Mengqi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could that be? The distance between Fuhai Sect and our Tianfeng Sea Area is very far."

"Sister Mengqi, there's no need to hide things between friends. Although my ranking is not as high as his for the time being, I still have my senior brother here."

Lin Changqiang smiled and patted Zhou Tong on the back, and the latter also showed a rare reliable look. Seeing this, Gu Yan sighed after looking at Gu Mengqi.

"It's not a big deal, actually. Our Gu family had no connection with the Fu Hai Sect before. But when Sister Meng Qi was leading the fleet to Huoyan City, they ran into the Fu Hai Sect's team. When Huang Ling saw Sister Meng Qi on the boat, he got so excited that he wanted to marry her."

"Sister Mengqi naturally couldn't agree to marry someone she didn't even know, so she rejected him in front of the Fu Hai Sect's fleet. But Huang Ling got so angry that he directly seized all our other ships, forcing everyone to get on the only remaining ship..."

Gu Yan kept complaining, while Gu Mengqi next to her said nothing, looking embarrassed and helpless.

In the past, this situation usually happened to Gu Yan, the most beautiful of the three. But who would have thought that this time Gu Yan did not encounter it but it was her turn, because Huang Ling was not an easy person to deal with and had a wide network of contacts. She could not directly drive Huang Ling away like Gu Yan did to the young master of Jianxin Island.

"I see."

Lin Changqiang nodded and glanced at the system. Sure enough, a side quest popped up. Although the reward was only three draws and the favor of the three sisters of the Gu family, it was obviously impossible for him to refuse.

At this time, Huang Ling looked around and saw the three sisters of the Gu family behind him. He was immediately delighted. He snorted and turned around, took out a half-filled wine glass and walked to the corner. The top ten of the rookie list was obviously a more dazzling one here. Many people noticed Huang Ling's movements. For a while, all kinds of eyes gathered on him, with curiosity, disgust, expectation, and so on.

Looking at Huang Ling walking towards her, Gu Mengqi couldn't help but flash a trace of nervousness in her eyes, and she couldn't help but clench her hands on the table. She subconsciously looked at Lin Changqiang and Zhou Tong, but at this moment, the two of them were chatting and laughing as if they didn't notice.

"Ms. Mengqi, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. It's really fate~"

The footsteps stopped beside the table, and Lin Changqiang almost wanted to laugh when he heard it. All the people participating in the Thunder Championship were here, it would be strange if he didn't see them.

Seeing Huang Ling holding a wine glass and smiling, Gu Mengqi forced a smile, while Gu Yan's expression turned cold immediately.

"Some misunderstandings occurred at sea before. I apologize in advance. When Miss Mengqi leaves Huoyan City, I will have someone send the fleet here."

Huang Ling stared at Gu Mengqi with fiery eyes, seemingly not caring about the people around him at all. Some onlookers also had expressions on their faces, then glanced at her with disgust and stopped paying attention.

This method of showing strength is Huang Ling's usual method, but the Fu Hai Sect is quite powerful and has allied with many forces. Even if they don't like it, there is nothing they can do. But at this moment, a figure suddenly stood up and stood between Huang Ling and Gu Mengqi.

"Just returning the fleet, you want to pretend nothing happened?" Lin Changqiang looked down at the other party with disdain on his face. "Then I will seize your Qiankun bags first, and return them to you after the fleet is returned."

Before the contestants around could react, Lin Changqiang stretched out his hand and walked towards the people from Fu Hai Sect. Seeing this, Huang Ling subconsciously wanted to slap his hand away, but found that a layer of moonlight half a finger thick suddenly appeared on his body surface. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move. At the same time, Lin Changqiang's mental fluctuations spread to the entire attic.

The Immortal Talisman Master Mahayana!
"Is he Lin Changqiang, who is number 16 on the list?"

"Isn't he said to be in the minor stage of the Death Profound Realm? How come he has the spiritual power of a great immortal talisman master?!"

“No wonder he was able to freeze Huang Ling, who was at the minor success stage of the Profound Death Realm…”

Some contestants who had learned about their opponents' information in advance recognized Lin Changqiang's appearance and immediately showed expressions of disbelief on their faces.

When Lin Changqiang was on the list for the first time, he was still ranked 34th on the rookie list, almost the same as Pang Hao of Jiuyoumen. After a few days, he suddenly broke through to the minor success of the Death Profound Realm and jumped to the 16th place. But no one expected that after only twenty days, he had revealed the spiritual power of a great immortal talisman master!

This time, he had to be ranked in the top four, because the fifth-placed Teng Qingkui was the Immortal Talisman Master Mahayana.

Thinking of Dao Zong behind Lin Changqiang, and seeing the horrified expressions of the people from Fu Hai Zong, some people who disliked Huang Ling immediately gloated over his misfortune. The three sisters of the Gu family finally smiled, but at the same time, two people in the pavilion looked at each other with hesitant and embarrassed expressions.

"How about pretending you didn't see it?"

"Let's see what Qing Teng says. If Lin Changqiang is only at the minor level of the Profound Death Realm, I will definitely go to Huang Ling to help him without hesitation. But with the addition of the Immortal Talisman Master, how about we go upstairs and sit down?"

"good idea."

Chen Qing, ranked seventh on the rookie list, and Li Lin, ranked eighth, walked silently to the second floor...
