A Good Romance

After this incident with the Cheng Clan, the two clans that had originally been on equal footing in Gray Cloud Town immediately headed towards different fates.

The Ling Clan's influence was growing day by day, and they already had the status of being the first Great Clan in Gray Cloud Town. Meanwhile, the Cheng Clan's bottom was on fire, and they were facing an extremely difficult situation. Not being able to keep up with the flow of funds was one thing, but more importantly, their morale had been completely suppressed.

Ling Dong Xing had a good son!

This was the common understanding of everyone in Gray Cloud Town. No one would remember that just two months ago, this "good son" was still publicly acknowledged as trash, and a laughingstock.

The small clans in the town all had frequent dealings with the Ling Clan. If they wanted to become in-laws with the Ling Clan, their target was naturally the once great trash, but now the great genius, Ling Han. Of course, the Shen Clan had become a laughingstock. They had originally already had a fine son-in-law in Ling Han, yet they themselves had rejected him.

Who knew how Shen Zi Yan was feeling right now?

Chen Feng Lie had just left when a member of the Stone Wolf Sect arrived. His name was Ma Lang. He had brought with him the law enforcement team of the Stone Wolf Sect, and they came in a threatening manner. They went from house to house, conducting an investigation, as if they were looking for someone.

When Ling Han found out about this, a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that these people had come for Hang Zhan?

Very soon, Ma Lang and his men arrived at the Ling Clan Residence.

The Stone Wolf Sect was the ruler of the surrounding thousand miles. This time, Ma Lang had come as a representative of the Stone Wolf Sect, so everyone had to give him enough face. Thus, all the important people of the Ling Clan had gathered in the Main Hall to receive this "special envoy".

Ling Han arrived late, and when he arrived at the Main Hall with Liu Yu Tong, the Main Hall was already filled with people. He shook his head at the servant who was just about to greet him, and quietly walked over.

There was only one person in the Main Hall who did not belong to the Ling Clan. He was a young man dressed in white, and looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. His looks were average, but his whole body was exuding a powerful aura, and his face was filled with soaring confidence.

If there was any flaw, it would be that the smile on this guy's face was really too fake, so fake that anyone who saw it would feel nauseous.

Other than that, there was a row of black-robed men standing outside the Main Hall. All of them had the cultivation level of Element Gathering Tier, but their cultivation level was not very high. They all seemed to be in the second or third layer, and none of them had advanced into the fourth layer.

The fourth layer and the seventh layer would always be a bottleneck.

'This white-robed young man should be Ma Lang,' Ling Han thought to himself. He once again turned his gaze towards him. This person's cultivation level was much higher, having reached the sixth layer of Element Gathering Tier. In this area, coupled with his age, he could definitely be called a genius, leaving Shen Zi Yan, Cheng Xiang and the others in the dust.

"Ling Clan Head, in the past month, has anyone from your clan entered the Balance Mountain?" Ma Lang asked.

Ling Dong Xing's heart jumped. He naturally knew that Ling Han had just returned from the Balance Mountain, but coincidentally, the other party had asked him this question. How could he not be on guard? However, he had been the Clan Head for many years, after all, so he was naturally very shrewd. His expression did not change, and he said, "As far as I know, no one from the clan has entered the Balance Mountain."

Fortunately, Ling Han had been very discreet when he came and went. The members of the clan only knew that Ling Han had disappeared for about a month, but no one knew exactly where he had gone.

"So that's how it is …" Ma Lang nodded, and did not say anything else. He only sat there, his eyes closed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Ling Dong Xing knew what was going on, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring over a wooden box. He said, "Young Master Ma has had a hard journey. This is a small token from the Han Clan. It's nothing much, but please accept it, Young Master Ma."

Only then did Ma Lang open his eyes. After receiving the wooden box, he did not try to avoid suspicion, and actually opened it on the spot. There were only a few thin pieces of paper inside, but Ma Lang flipped them over, and revealed a smile.

Those were silver notes, each with a face value of five hundred taels. There were four of them, which meant that there was a total of two thousand taels of silver. This was not a small sum of wealth.

He had been ordered to move out, and his original intention was to take advantage of the situation by leading the enforcement team of Stone Wolf Sect. Who would not fear him, because he was now representing Stone Wolf Sect? These few days, he had already visited all the small clans in Gray Cloud Town, and placed the two great clans, the Ling and Cheng Clans, at the very back.

As expected, great clans were great clans, generous when they went out.

Now that he had gained some benefits, he was naturally in a good mood. He suddenly stood up and said, "I am under the orders of Seventh Elder to arrest a criminal. If Clan Head Ling knows that someone has entered Balance Mountain in the past month, you must inform me. I will stay in town for a few more days."

"Definitely!" Ling Dong Xing agreed. He also stood up and said, "I will see Young Master Ma off!"

Ma Lang nodded cheerfully, and put on the air of an "imperial envoy". He clasped his hands behind his back and began to walk.

"Young Master Ma!" It was at this moment that someone suddenly spoke up. It was Ling Zhong Kuan.

Ma Lang frowned, turned around, and asked, "What is it?"

"I suddenly remembered that someone from the clan has disappeared for more than a month. Perhaps he has gone to Balance Mountain," Ling Zhong Kuan said, a cold smile on his face.

"Oh, who is it?" Ma Lang asked.

"This person's name is Ling Han, and he is the son of our Clan Head." Ling Zhong Kuan had been waiting for the other party to ask, so he quickly answered.

Hearing what he said, everyone in the Ling Family cursed him in their hearts.

Not to mention the fact that Ling Han was now the hope of the Ling Clan, the future pillar of support, even if he was still that trash from before, as long as his surname was Ling, he could not help an outsider! With such a temperament, he still wanted to become the Clan Head? Then there would really be no hope for the Ling Clan.

Ling Dong Xing was naturally even more enraged, secretly regretting that he had not cleaned up the clan sooner. Seeing that they all shared the surname of Ling, he had not killed them all. But he had never thought that Ling Zhong Kuan would be so heartless and heartless.

Ma Lang turned his head towards Ling Dong Xing, and asked, "Clan Head Ling, is there such a thing?"

Ling Dong Xing's expression did not change, and he said, "My son did indeed leave the clan a month ago to gain experience, but he did not go to Balance Mountain."

"Oh, then where did he go?" Ma Lang's eyes narrowed.

"Seven Wind Mountains," Ling Han stepped out.

"So you are Ling Han?" Ma Lang turned his gaze towards him.

"I am Ling Han," Ling Han nodded.

Ma Lang stared at Ling Han, his expression extremely stern, causing everyone to feel a chill as if a storm was brewing.

"Hahahaha!" He suddenly laughed, walked over and patted Ling Han's shoulder, and said, "Don't be so nervous, I was only asking casually. I still have to go to the Cheng Clan Residence, and will come look for you in the future. I think, we should be able to get along very well. "

This young man was really temperamental.

Ling Han smiled calmly, and said, "We shall meet again someday."

"Clan Head Ling, there is no need to see me off!" Ma Lang waved his hand, and left with the men in black.

Only when his silhouette had disappeared did the people in the hall breathe a sigh of relief. Unknowingly, they had actually broken out in a cold sweat, which was enough to prove what kind of pressure this young man had brought to them.

Poisonous snake

That's right, he was a poisonous snake. This young man was like a poisonous snake. Even if they were in the same room with him, they would still be so nervous that they would break out in a cold sweat.

It was more refreshing to read on one's phone.
