Beijing, Ling Family.
"Hmph! My precious grandson has built such a big business in Qingshui City. It's time for the opening ceremony. What right do you have to stop me from going? "
Ling Lie's tall figure was pacing back and forth in his courtyard. His face was red, and his hair was standing on end. He was furious!
In front of him was a group of people kneeling on the ground. The head of the Ling Family, Ling Zhen, the second son, Ling Yue, Ling Xiu, Ling Yong, Ling Feng, Ling Li, and of course, Cui Lao.
Ever since Ling Yun left Beijing, Ling Lie had been keeping a low profile at home. However, he had been paying attention to the news in Qingshui City. Of course, it was because of Ling Yun.
The Heaven and Earth Group had been making a series of acquisitions in the past half a month. Ling Lie naturally saw it.
After confirming that the Heaven and Earth Group was going to open on August 8th, Ling Lie couldn't sit still anymore. He decided to go to Qingshui City to cut the ribbon for his precious grandson.
But how could he do that?
Right now, the Ling Family had become the focus of attention in Beijing. All the forces were watching their every move. If Ling Lie were to go to Qingshui City and appear at the opening ceremony of the Heaven and Earth Group, all the secrets of the Ling Family would be revealed to the world!
Then, all the effort the Ling Family had put in the past month would be wasted because of Ling Yun and Ling Lie's meeting.
That was why Ling Zhen and Ling Yue objected to the Old Master's decision. They knew that the Old Master was letting his emotions affect his decisions.
"Father, at the end of the day, Ling Yun is just an opening ceremony. It's not worth it to expose the relationship between Ling Yun and the Ling Family just for this ceremony."
Ling Lie raised his head and snorted. "Hmph! So what if it's exposed? Do you really think the Ling Family is still the Ling Family of the past? "
With Ling Yun's help, not only did Ling Lie recover from his injuries, but he also broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Eight. After this period of cultivation, he had broken through to the middle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight and was only one step away from the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight!
There was naturally a reason why Ling Lie was able to cultivate so quickly. One had to know that when Ling Lie broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Eight, his energy center was filled to the brim. Within it, the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Earth Emperor's Book took up 70% of it!
Ling Yun used his own Black Yellow True Qi, the Ling Family's Divine Willow Wood, and the Earth Emperor's Book's Immortal Spiritual Energy to help Ling Lie break through. These three items were the same as the Ling Family's inheritance and Ling Lie's Black Yellow Sutra!
As he spoke, Ling Lie released his aura that was close to the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight!
The old master could not be blamed for being so overbearing. He knew very well that he was already so powerful. Coupled with his heaven-defying precious grandson, Ling Yun, their strength was enough to go all out against any force in Beijing.
Moreover, there were the few members of the Blood Clan under Ling Yun who were almost immortal!
The rise of the Ling Family was just around the corner. What was there to hide now?
When Ling Lie said this, Ling Zhen and Ling Yue stopped talking.
The Ling Family had been suppressed for too long. For the past eighteen years, they had suffered countless losses. Who could remain calm when they thought about the rise of the Ling Family?
"Old Master, I understand how you feel now. Our Ling Family is indeed not afraid of anyone now, but you have to think for Third Young Master."
Cui Lao knelt on one knee. He knew that he was the only one who could persuade Ling Lie at this moment.
Ling Lie's aura suddenly stagnated. "You mean Third Brother?"
Ling Xiao.
Even though the Ling Family had been secretly searching for clues for the past month, they couldn't find Ling Xiao's whereabouts.
This made Ling Lie despair. He thought that his third son had fallen into the hands of the enemy and was killed.
"Sigh!"
Ling Lie couldn't help but sigh as he thought of Ling Xiao.
He had obtained a precious grandson, but he had lost his most beloved son. How could the old man endure this?
Cui Lao was also sad, but he still persuaded, "Old Master, Third Young Master's whereabouts are still unknown. Once Ling Yun's Heaven and Earth Group opens, he will definitely rush to Beijing. As long as he comes, he will definitely think of a way to save his father. Even though we can't find Third Young Master, Ling Yun is a smart child. He might have a way.
"However, if you go and expose your relationship with Ling Yun to the world, Third Young Master's safety will be hard to say."
After Ling Lie heard this, he immediately retracted his aura and hesitated.
At this moment, Ling Yue said hurriedly, "Father, what Cui Lao said makes sense. If you go just like that, it will definitely be disadvantageous to Third Brother. Furthermore, it will bring Ling Yun countless troubles. We really can't afford to go."
"Sigh!"
Ling Lie sighed again after thinking for a long time. In the end, he canceled his decision to go to Qingshui City.
"Alright, I'll listen to you this time. I won't go."
Seeing that Old Master had finally thought things through, everyone in the Ling Family heaved a sigh of relief. Ling Lie continued, "However, I can choose not to go, but the Ling Family can't pretend that we don't know anything. We still have to send someone over. "
"Grandpa, I'll go, I'll go!"
Hearing that Ling Lie was going to send someone over, the juniors of the Ling Family, including Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li, immediately fought to go.
They were going to see Ling Yun. After not seeing Ling Yun for such a long time, they couldn't wait any longer.
"Shut up!"
Ling Lie's voice stopped all of them.
"The few of you, stay at home and cultivate! How about this, Cui Lao, or you, bring Ling Xiu to Qingshui City. Ling Xiu is a lady, so it's normal for her to go out. It won't attract much attention. Cui Lao will take care of everything else. "
"Hehe, rest assured, Grandpa. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong!"
Ling Xiu was extremely happy that Ling Lie had chosen her. She glanced at her brothers with a smug look and saw their envious and jealous gazes.
In the end, the Ling Family sent out Cui Lao and Ling Xiu.
"Alright, you guys can disperse. Go do what you need to do!"
Ling Lie waved his hand for everyone to disperse. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "Hmph, Qin Changqing, you old fox. So what if you go? Ling Yun is my biological grandson! "
…
It was still Beijing, the Ling Family's outer residence, which was also the courtyard house that Ling Yun used to live in.
Now, it was naturally the Cao Family who were temporarily hiding here.
At this time, everyone from the Cao Family was here, including Cao Tianlong.
"Grandpa, Father, there are two things I need to report to you."
Cao Tianlong said to Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang, "First, Shanshan called to say that Ling Yun has found a way to save you. The first thing he will do when he comes to Beijing is to cure our entire family."
This was naturally a joyous occasion for the Cao Family. After hearing this, everyone was incomparably excited.
After the family had calmed down, Cao Tianlong brought up the second matter.
"The second matter is that Ling Yun's Heaven and Earth Group is about to open for business. Shanshan said that everything will be decided by Grandpa. "
After hearing this, Cao Junxiong fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Cao Junxiong looked at his only grandson and said slowly, "Tianlong, you have to make a trip on behalf of the Cao Family for this matter."
Cao Tianlong was shocked. "Oh? Grandpa, do you think the Cao Family can go? "
Cao Junxiong smiled and said firmly, "Tianlong, you're wrong. This time, it's not just the Cao Family that can go. We have to go!
"Ling Yun will be coming to Beijing soon, probably in three to five days. At that time, it's time to pick a side.
"The Cao Family has been greatly indebted to Ling Yun. Now that his company is opening for business, it's not right for Shanshan to go alone.
"Tianlong, remember, after you go to Qingshui, don't hide anything. Just stay with Ling Yun openly. The closer, the better!
"From now on, the Cao Family will announce to the world that we will support Ling Yun with all our might!"
Cao Tianlong didn't expect Cao Junxiong to make a decision so quickly. He nodded and said worriedly, "Grandpa, it's fine for me to go, but what about you guys?"
Cao Junxiong laughed. He looked around at the family that had completely transformed into vampires and said in a self-deprecating manner, "Our family has already become like this. What do you have to worry about?"
"Tianlong, don't worry about us. Tomorrow, bring the bodyguard that Ling Yun left for you and head to Qingshui."
"Then, Grandpa, what gift should I bring?"
Cao Junxiong smiled. "You don't have to bring any gift. You will be the biggest gift from the Cao Family to Ling Yun."
What Cao Tianlong brought was the support of the Cao Family. Naturally, this gift was important enough.
"Uh … but it's not good for that kid to not bring any gift for his business. How about this, take your father's bank card and transfer ten billion to him."
…
Unlike the Ling Family and the Cao Family, the opening of the Heaven and Earth Group was naturally received by all the big families in Beijing. They also held an emergency meeting to discuss it.
During the meeting, the different factions within the various clans engaged in a fierce battle of words. They argued until their faces were red with anger, but in the end, no conclusion was reached.
The reason was simple. They didn't know the intentions of the Long Family and the Ye Family.
The two big families in Beijing were very united and didn't release any information. This left the other big and small families at a loss.
In such a turbulent time in Beijing, if the Long Family and the Ye Family didn't make a move, who would dare to make a move?
…
"It's open again. This guy is really developing fast …"
That night, in a forest in the Immortal Ridge, a woman with an incomparably enchanting figure was sitting on a stone bench beside a waterfall. Her face was covered with a black veil, and her entire body was wrapped in a black veil. She mumbled to herself.
"This time, I won't cause trouble for you …
"But, what gift should I give you this time?"
Ye Xingchen had arrived at the place where she negotiated with Ling Yun. Her beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and her eyes were even brighter than the stars in the sky. (To be continued.)
