"Alright, Old Patriarch Ling, there's no need to send me off. I'm here for no other reason than to hope that the Chen and Ling families can live in harmony.
No matter who wins this Ascension Ritual, they can't take revenge on the other family in the future. Otherwise, I won't forgive them. "
After leaving, the Prefectural Governor said to Ling Yuhua, "You still need to enlighten that Ling Xiao of your family. Don't ruin the relationship between the Chen and Ling families because of some trivial matter."
"Don't worry, Prefectural Governor. I understand."
Ling Yuhua said hurriedly.
"Alright, I'll return to Ascension Hall first. Remember, on the day of the Ascension Ritual, all adult warriors from both families must come to Ascension Hall to drink. This is a major matter that concerns the fairness of the Ascension Ritual. Don't forget."
After saying that, the Prefectural Governor left with his entourage.
Afterward, Chen Canghai also bid farewell to Ling Yuhua.
On the way, Chen Kun asked Chen Canghai very unhappily, "Grandfather, why didn't you let me kill that Ling Xiao?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? When the Ascension Ritual begins, it'll be the end of the Ling family."
Chen Canghai sneered, "That old thing Ling Yuhua probably never dreamed that we would cooperate with the Prefectural Governor."
"Grandfather, you mean to uproot the Ling family?"
Chen Kun asked in surprise.
"That's right. So don't think about that Ling Moyu of the Ling family. She's going to die eventually."
Chen Canghai said in a deep voice, "A real man can't be swayed by love. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Chen Kun didn't have any feelings for Ling Moyu. Although he liked her, it was only because of her beauty. He didn't care about losing such a woman.
"Let's go back and plan. We must ensure that the entire plan goes smoothly."
Chen Canghai didn't want to say too much on the way. If someone overheard, the entire plan would fall through.
At this moment, Ling Yuhua felt that there was something wrong with this Ascension Ritual.
He also had a very uneasy feeling from the bottom of his heart.
However, he couldn't figure out the reason.
He had always been wary of the Chen family. The only thing he didn't expect was that the Prefectural Governor of the Eight Immortals County would help the Chen family deal with them.
Ling Xiao naturally didn't know this.
However, this did not affect him much.
He didn't care about the life and death of the Ling Family.
However, when the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. If he were to find out about these schemes, he would probably still intervene.
After all, the Ling Family was now in a cooperative relationship with him, while the Chen Family was in a hostile relationship.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
What's more, they were working together.
"Little brother, my cultivation has broken through to the fifth Grotto-Heaven realm!"
In the courtyard, Ling Jiaojiao excitedly said to Ling Xiao.
"Not bad. This way, you can even suppress that Ling Moyu. Only Ling Jian is slightly stronger than you."
Ling Xiao was truly happy for Ling Jiaojiao.
The situation among the younger generation was very obvious.
Chen Pi and Chen Kun were in the first tier.
Ling Jian and Ling Jiaojiao belonged to the second tier.
Ling Yan, Ling Moyu, Chen Xingzhi, and Chen Du could be classified as the third tier.
As for the remaining people, they could all be considered as the first rank.
In the past, Ling Jiaojiao was not even as good as Ling Moyu. Since she followed Ling Xiao, she defeated Ling Moyu at the annual meeting. Now, she completely crushed Ling Moyu.
Ling Xiao was an exception.
He had no interest in competing with these people. His goal was always to become a martial artist of a higher level.
"Ling Xiao, why don't you not participate in the Yuhua Sacrifice? My strength has increased now. Although I may not be as good as the Chen family, I won't lose too badly.
In any case, the Ling family has never treated you well. Why should you take the risk for the Ling family's management rights in Yuhua Town? "
In the end, Ling Jiaojiao was still worried about Ling Xiao.
She did not know what had happened to Ling Xiao in the past month, but she was very clear about Chen Kun and Chen Pi's terrifying strength.
It was said that Chen Kun's cultivation had broken through again, reaching the eighth Grotto-Heaven realm.
Chen Pi was even more terrifying, reaching the ninth Grotto-Heaven realm.
Facing these two people, Ling Xiao had no chance of winning.
She knew that Ling Xiao's aptitude was better, but Chen Kun and Chen Pi had truly lived for nearly twenty years and cultivated until now.
As for Ling Xiao, he belonged to the Samsara realm. In fact, he had only cultivated for about fourteen months.
No matter how fast a Samsara realm martial artist cultivated, he could not compare to someone else's nearly twenty years of bitter cultivation.
"Jiaojiao, the one you should be worried about is not me."
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Although I can't be sure, I feel that the Chen family will definitely not show mercy in the Yuhua Sacrifice this time.
Not only do they want to kill me, but they might also want to kill you, Ling Jian, Ling Yan, and all the descendants of the Ling family. "
He did not tell this to anyone because he did not have evidence. It was just his intuition and speculation.
But he believed that Ling Jiaojiao would trust him, so he said it.
"What!"
Ling Jiaojiao was dumbfounded when she heard this.
Although she had not received much care since she was young, blood was thicker than water. She was different from Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was not a biological descendant of the Ling family, but she was.
If the Chen family really intended to do this, then she must stop them.
"Don't worry so much. This is just my speculation. Maybe nothing will happen. But to be prepared, I have a Formation Refining Stone here. Keep it carefully.
If something really happens that you can't solve, use the Formation Refining Stone. At least those brats from the Chen family won't be able to solve it. "
Ling Xiao took out a Formation Refining Stone and gave it to Ling Jiaojiao. He reminded her, "This Formation Refining Stone can only be used once, so you have to use it at the most critical moment. Don't use it on irrelevant people.
Also, you don't have to worry about me. Chen Kun and Chen Pi will die in my hands sooner or later.
Have I ever lied to you? "
Ling Jiaojiao took the Formation Refining Stone and was stunned for a while. She thought to herself, "It seems that's true. Ling Xiao has never lied to me. If he said he would defeat someone, then he would definitely defeat them."
Why should she be overly worried?
"Alright then, but can I share your intuition with the others?"
Ling Jiaojiao asked.
"Yes, but people will definitely not believe it."
Ling Xiao understood that Ling Jiaojiao was different from other people in the Ling family. She was not a heartless person.
Therefore, there were some words that Ling Jiaojiao knew would be ridiculed, but she would still say it. As for whether it would be effective or not, that was another matter. She had to have a clear conscience.
Not long after Ling Jiaojiao left, someone came to the small courtyard to make trouble.
In fact, it was not a trouble.
They just came to complain.
Ling Jian and Ling Moyu both came.
They did not dare to rush into Ling Xiao's small courtyard. They could only question Ling Xiao at the door.
Ling Jian said, "You measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Chen Kun and Mo Yu are engaged. How could he be ruthless to her?"
"Yes, Brother Kun is not a shameless person like you."
