Chapter 1417: Chapter 1416: Subjugation

The Gong Family siblings both fell silent when they heard his words, knowing the purpose of his visit.

He was simply puzzled, noticing some clues but not quite expecting that anyone could tamper with spirit. This time, he came hoping to form an alliance with the Gong Family siblings.

"Elder Leng’s words are indeed true, but it’s far from enough with just us. Sun Zhancheng’s influence is vast, and there are things we cannot see. To prevent Peng Pavilion from declining further, we must bring him down," Gong Chengyan said.

Leng Qing nodded slightly, "Then let’s bring him down."

"Who’s the candidate for inheritance?" Gong Chengyan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Leng Qingyi turned his head to look at Jing Changle, "Isn’t the gifted child the best choice for inheritance? Despite damage to his spirit, his constitution remains, and his progress won’t be too slow as long as we assist him properly and ensure his safe growth."

Gong Yunfei chuckled, "So Elder Leng didn’t fully speak the truth earlier; Changle’s spirit damage isn’t very severe?"

Leng Qingyi fell silent for a moment, "I didn’t lie; it’s just not as severe as I described. If I didn’t say it was severe, we would definitely be targeted by Sun Zhancheng."

After pausing, he continued, "I wonder what the two of you are hesitating about; this is our best opportunity."

He was truly saddened by Peng Pavilion’s continuous decline. While all families and factions surged ahead, only they fell from being the top sect. If this continues, the prospects are grim.

Leng Qingyi’s main purpose in coming was to persuade the Gong Family siblings; the appearance of the gifted child indeed gave him a glimmer of hope.

The Gong Family siblings also understood Leng Qingyi well. They couldn’t remember when Leng Qingyi stopped involving himself in faction affairs like them, while still developing his own power to restrain Sun Zhancheng.

Leng Qingyi, like them, greatly disapproved of the current Pengge Sect.

"Not hesitation," Gong Yunfei implied.

They were contemplating whether to recruit Leng Qingyi now. Truthfully, they knew Leng Qingyi’s character well; Pengge Sect most seeks to recruit him.

Leng Qingyi immediately interjected, "What do you mean?"

Gong Yunfei looked at Jing Changle, who sat indifferently nearby.

Jing Changle knew they were waiting for his decision. With his continued support, the Gong Family siblings’ reaction showed their trust in him.

Moreover, from their earlier encounter in the hall, Jing Changle had a favorable impression of him.

"I also want to contend. Will Elder Leng assist me?" Jing Changle said.

Not for anything else, but for Aunt Bei who holds high expectations for him, to not lose to Luo Yirui, and for his sister.

Above all... for his mother!

He had to contend; suddenly, he understood why Aunt Bei previously wouldn’t accept him into Qingyu—because he has his responsibilities, heavily laden on his shoulders.

Leng Qingyi always regarded Jing Changle as a child, surprised by his sudden, powerful speech, and asked so naturally—it didn’t sound like someone unprepared.

Leng Qingyi nodded slightly, "Of course, we will fully support the gifted child! We will also find ways to heal the gifted child’s spirit damage."

He spoke with firm conviction, truly expressing his heartfelt intentions.

Yet suddenly, he widened his eyes, watching the young man before him wield the brush.
