Li Jingyan was stunned.

After she learned that Tong Yan went to the island, she had thought of countless possibilities. But the only thing she didn't expect was what Su Chen said.

"Is there any danger?" she said in a daze: "You said there was any danger?"

Su Chen nodded and said nothing.

"What's the reason?" Li Jingyan said with her eyebrows raised: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't go because of danger?"

"Listen to me." Su Chen whispered: "The situation this time is different."

"Different?" Li Jingyan said: "What's the difference? Since I started with you, there has been no danger? But you never said that you left me behind because of the danger."

After a pause, she said again: "Yes. Is it because I have begun to distrust me?"

"What are you saying?" Su Chen smiled bitterly: "Didn't I say it? Listen to me to finish it first."

"Okay. Tell me." Li Jingyan returned to the table and sat down. He reached out to get the teapot. After touching it, he found that the tea inside had turned cold, so he simply stopped drinking it. He placed the teapot heavily on the table and looked up at Su Chen and said.

"First of all, this conference was organized by the court. Before any measures were taken, the conference would still continue on the surface. Therefore, the rules must be followed. Just like a childish face, are you willing to give up Ling Yun Jiuyao's identity to attend that conference?"

"Of course I can." Li Jingyan answered quickly without any hesitation or hesitation.

"I have no doubt about this." Su Chen smiled and continued, "But I don't allow you to do this. Ling Yun Jiuyao said that he is a disciple of Lingyun Mountain. But this title represents an honor. Moreover, with this identity, it will be very convenient to do something in the future."

He didn't say what it was, but as smart as Li Jingyan certainly knew what he meant. It was something that was related to his plan and could not tolerate any mistakes. Just as he said, with the identity of Ling Yun Jiuyao, he would indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort. But Tongyan was different, and almost everyone in the world knew it. Gu Hengbo was the emperor's person, or at least, she had a good relationship with the emperor. Even if Tongyan was determined to help Su Chen, as long as Gu Hengbo did not pass on the position of the sect leader to her for a day, the things she could do for Su Chen would be limited.

"There is another point." Seeing Li Jingyan stop talking, Su Chen knew that his words had begun to work, so he struck while the iron was hot: "That's the situation this time is too special. I have said before that, for some reason, no one of the old guys appeared at this conference. It is normal for the old man not to come. After all, with his identity and status, if he still comes to grab the leader of the martial arts world, it would be a bit unreasonable. It is normal to take the first place. If something unexpected happens, it would be a laughing moment. But what I pay great attention to is why the rest are like Gu Hengbo and Mr. Xu and others did not come?"

"I think it's because the master doesn't come. So as peers, they are embarrassed to come and participate." Li Jingyan was completely attracted by Su Chen's words, and couldn't help but follow his words.

"This is a bit understandable." Su Chen nodded and then said, "If Gu Hengbo and others did not come to participate because they were looking forward to their own face, why didn't they send more strengthened disciples?"

"What do you mean?" Li Jingyan closed his eyes slightly and said in thought.

"It's not that I have the intention of belittling the third and fourth brothers." Su Chen pondered for a moment, and said: "If I imagined it according to the normal idea, if the old man was determined to win the leader of the martial arts world, I should have sent me and you. Adding the eldest is a safer approach. But he didn't include you, and I soon learned that the eldest brother would not participate in this competition. I thought something was wrong at the time, so I withdrew. The old man actually sent the third and fourth brothers over as if he was ahead of him. And there was a Li Chunfeng here to replace me."

"But." Li Jingyan frowned and said, "Isn't the reason why the boss and you don't participate because your identities are special."

"Haha." Su Chen smiled softly. The smile contained too many complicated feelings. After a moment of pause, he continued: "So, I always say. If you can divide half of your energy in martial arts into these human accidents, you may be an invincible existence."

"I know I'm not very smart." After hearing this, Li Jingyan also smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to remind me of this. You should continue talking quickly. Now you have completely aroused my curiosity."

"That's just a perfunctory statement to the outside world." Su Chen did not waste time anymore, and then said, "What did you say that you left this competition because of your sensitive identity? This statement is really ridiculous. What is identity sensitivity? Just because he is the prince? If it is because of this, then the leader of the martial arts world cannot be related to the court? I really need to count the jokes. Which background is clean among Lingyun Jiuyao? I'm afraid even the Ba and Lao Jiu who have never appeared have backgrounds. If Lingyunshan takes this reason into consideration, he will only find someone from the disciples of the third and fourth generations. Hey, don't say it, then Li Chunfeng is really a more reliable candidate."

"Say this." Li Jingyan ignored his last teasing. Her eyebrows frowned slightly and said, "It's really suspicious."

"So, the above must have received some news. Or, they wanted to do something." Su Chen said slowly and deeply.

"Huh?" Li Jingyan looked up at him.

There was a light flashing in Su Chen's eyes. Li Jingyan recognized this kind of look. Whenever Su Chen really wanted to get serious, such a brilliant look appeared in his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Li Jingyan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "In this way, no matter which direction the facts are developing, it proves that this conference is just a complete conspiracy."

"I don't have any definite evidence yet." Su Chen shook his head and said, "But the facts are mostly like this. You can see it just by not allowing Su Xiao to attend this conference. Anyone can see it. If Su Xiao can get the title of leader of the martial arts world, it will be very beneficial for the court to control the martial arts world in the future. But they gave up this great opportunity. I don't really think that they think they can't compete. As for the others, with the court as their backing, the rest are not worth worrying."

"But, just making such a judgment based on this point is not too reckless?" Li Jingyan said tentatively.

"It's not just this." Su Chen's face suddenly became a little scary and said, "Didn't you notice it? This time it was not only us, but even Qingliufang and Lingyue Palace did not send their most proud disciples."

"Tongyan and Su Banyue?" Li Jingyan was slightly surprised and said, "But aren't they going to attend the Laoshizi's courtesan conference like me?"

"That's just another cover. No, or just a step." Su Chen said in a deep voice: "I believe that Tongyan will attend this courtesan conference on a whim. But when the upper class knows it, it's like picking up a treasure. This opportunity is great. You can completely transfer Tongyan and Su Banyue from the battlefield. Moreover, in order to increase the importance of this matter, they risked to transfer you back, so that this courtesan conference, which was completely out of line with the martial arts competition, would participate."

Li Jingyan was silent again. She was obviously thinking about the profound meaning of Su Chen's words.

"I really didn't think of this before." Su Chen sighed softly and said, "I thought they made this courtesan conference closely related to the martial arts competition. It was just to prevent you from participating in the competition of the leader of the martial arts world. What's a pity is that at the beginning, I really thought that I used the trick to let you attend this courtesan conference, which surprised them. But now I think about it, I'm afraid this is a trap set by the other party."

"I don't understand." Li's stunning frowns deeper. He said slowly: "What is the purpose of doing this? Also, who is planning all this?"

"I don't know the purpose yet." Su Chen said: "But if anyone plans all this, it will be obvious if you think about it carefully."

After hearing this, Li Jingyan couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and her expression was obviously asking Su Chen who it was.

"Just look at the list of participating in the martial arts competition this time, it will be clear." Su Chen said: "There are three of the six major sects who have not sent out their most confident disciples. They are Lingyun Mountain, Qingliufang and Lingyue Palace. Seeing this, what else can you think of?"

In fact, there is no need to think about it carefully. Li Jingyan just didn't extend his thinking to this side just now. Just as Su Chen said. If you consider it from a macro perspective, you may not be able to see anything. But if you take these three sects out, don't say it is Li Jingyan. As long as you have a little bit of experience in the martial arts world, you can see the commonalities between these three sects.

"Did you see it?" Su Chen looked at her expression and knew that she had already thought of the idea. He smiled and said, "These three sects have nothing to do with each other on the surface. But it is precisely because of the lack of relationship that the only connection is infinitely magnified."
