Cao Shanshan, who was standing at the side, knew about the Cao Family's decision. However, after hearing her grandfather's words to Ling Yun, she was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Her heart was beating like a drum as she lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her shirt. She did not dare to look up at Ling Yun.
However, even though Cao Shanshan was shy and timid, it couldn't hide the happiness that shone in her eyes!
Ling Yun's face turned red as well. There were many women around him, but none of them wanted to get engaged to Ling Yun.
Long Kun had mentioned it before, but he told Ling Yun that it was a betrothal from when they were young, not this kind of engagement.
"Erm, Grandpa Cao, this … engagement … Is there a need to rush?"
Engagement was usually discussed by the parents of both parties, and they had to hire a matchmaker. Ling Yun did not know about this, so he did not know what to do.
Cao Junxiong put on a straight face. "Why, you're not willing? Do you think our Shanshan is not good enough for you? Or do you think our Cao Family is not what it used to be? "
He had just treated Old Master Cao, and he was already starting to be on bad terms with Ling Yun.
"Erm, Grandpa Cao, that's not what I meant …"
Cao Junxiong glared at him. "Then what do you mean? I'm betrothing my most beloved granddaughter to you, and Shanshan is as pretty as a flower. What are you dissatisfied with? "
Cao Junxiong blew his beard and glared at Ling Yun, but the rest of the Cao Family could not help but laugh.
The relationship between Ling Yun and Cao Shanshan was like a flea on a monk's head. It was only a matter of time, and everyone present knew it.
Seeing this, Ling Yun shook his head helplessly. What's the point of all of you bullying me? This is my house, okay?
"Hehe, Grandpa Cao, it's not that I'm dissatisfied with you betrothing Shanshan to me. Of course I'm willing, but don't talk to me about this. Talk to the elders in my family."
Ling Yun thought about it and directly kicked the ball to the Ling Family.
When Cao Junxiong heard this, he tried hard to hold back his laughter, but he still kept a straight face. "Ling Yun, don't play tricks with me. Our family is here today. I'm not asking anyone else but you. Now, in front of Shanshan, do you agree or not?"
"I agree!"
Ling Yun saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Good, good lad!"
Seeing that Ling Yun had agreed to it, Cao Junxiong was elated. He stopped trying to hold back his laughter and burst into laughter on the spot.
There was also a burst of warm applause and laughter in the courtyard.
"Sit, everyone sit down. Shanshan, don't be shy. Come sit with Ling Yun and let us have a good look!"
No matter how generous Cao Shanshan was, she couldn't help but feel shy at this moment. She dilly-dallied for a long time before finally moving to Lingyun's side.
Ling Yun didn't stand on ceremony. He put his arm around Cao Shanshan's shoulders and sat on the sofa.
"Look, everyone is a family now. How comfortable is it to sit down and chat like this?"
After everyone had sat down, Cao Junxiong looked around and said happily, his beard curling up.
How could she not be happy? Where else could she find such a good son-in-law? He couldn't even find a lantern!
Lu Qiongfang sat at the side and looked at Ling Yun carefully. The smile on her face was so wide that it couldn't be removed. This was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was.
Of course, Ling Yun could feel it. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't help but blush when everyone looked at him like this.
Cao Shanshan was even more embarrassed. She held Ling Yun's hand, which was full of sweat.
Everyone teased the young couple for a while and chatted for a while.
After a while, Cao Junxiong suddenly spoke, "Ling Yun, just now you mentioned that you wanted the Cao Family to discuss the engagement with your family. But, I heard from Shanshan that your mother isn't in Qingshui City now? "
Cao Junxiong was obviously beating around the bush. He was seriously asking about Ling Yun's background.
Now that they were a family, Cao Junxiong's question wasn't considered overstepping his boundaries. Instead, it gave Ling Yun a lot of room to maneuver.
Ling Yun thought for a while before raising his head and looking at Cao Junxiong. He said seriously, "Grandpa Cao, you don't have to ask me like this. I think you've already guessed it. I don't need to hide it from you anymore. "
"Grandpa Cao, Uncle Cao, Auntie Lu."
"I'll tell you now. My surname is Ling. This courtyard house is one of the outer residences of the Ling Family. As for me, I'm a descendant of the Ling Family. My biological father is Ling Xiao, and my biological mother is the previous Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect! "
After that, Ling Yun stopped talking and looked at Cao Junxiong quietly.
At the same time, Ling Yun clearly felt that Cao Shanshan's body tensed up after he revealed his true identity!
"Pa!"
Cao Junxiong slapped his thigh and stood up immediately. He laughed out loud and said, "Heh! I knew it! "
"You're indeed a descendant of the Ling Family, the son of Ling Xiao and the grandson of that old fellow Ling Lie! Hahaha, you're a good match! "
"Shanshan, agreeing to go to Qingshui City to study was the best decision I've made in my life!"
Cao Junxiong was so happy that he almost danced with joy.
Everyone in the Cao Family couldn't help but laugh at Old Master Cao's words. The joy of surviving a calamity, coupled with the fact that they had a son-in-law like Ling Yun, made the Cao Family a family member. It would be a lie to say that they weren't happy.
Cao Shanshan's heart was filled with joy. She held onto Ling Yun's hand tightly and pressed her soft body against Ling Yun's.
In Cao Shanshan's heart, since Ling Yun had agreed to the engagement in front of the entire Cao Family, it was already set in stone. From now on, Ling Yun was her legitimate fiancé. Even though she was shy, she did not have to worry about anything else.
Everyone laughed for a while. Ling Yun suddenly raised his head and glanced at the Cao Family. With a smile, he raised his hand and started taking things out of his spatial ring.
A thousand-year ginseng that had completely turned into a human form and a thousand-year Chinese knotweed were taken out by Ling Yun and placed gently on the coffee table in front of him.
The entire living room became silent instantly. Everyone's gazes fell onto those two stalks of spirit medicine, and they didn't even blink!
"This is …"
Even Grandpa Cao, who was experienced and knowledgeable, was dumbfounded!
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Grandpa Cao, this is a two-thousand-year ginseng and a thousand-year Chinese knotweed. They are both spiritual herbs.
"Especially the Chinese knotweed. It can nourish blood, dark hair, strengthen muscles and bones, and nourish the liver and kidneys. It is the most suitable for your current body condition. "
This was a huge gift from Ling Yun to the Cao Family. He didn't take out too much because the members of the Cao Family had just returned from being members of the Blood Clan. Their bodies needed time to recover, and he was afraid that if he took too much, the Cao Family would overdo it.
With that, Ling Yun looked at everyone again and smiled. "As for how to use these two things, I don't think I need to explain, right?"
Cao Junxiong was so excited that his lips trembled. He reached out with both hands, one in each hand, and grabbed the two spiritual herbs at the same time!
"These, these are all peerless elixirs that are rarely seen in this world!"
Cao Junxiong held the thousand-year ginseng and Chinese knotweed in front of him, his eyes darting back and forth as he spoke excitedly.
"These two can be used together. I think that in less than five days, your bodies will be back to their peak and even better than before." Ling Yun smiled faintly.
"This, this, this …"
Cao Junxiong, Cao Xingchang, Cao Tianlong, and Lu Qiongfang were so excited that they couldn't speak coherently.
"This gift is too precious!"
Cao Xingchang stared at Ling Yun, dumbfounded. He thought that Ling Yun had already done his best to help the Cao Family recover. Who knew that Ling Yun would take out such a treasure at this time!
"Uncle Cao, compared to the ten billion that Big Brother Tianlong gave me, this is nothing …" Ling Yun said with some embarrassment.
Cao Junxiong glared at him and said, "You brat, stop talking nonsense. This is a rare treasure. How can it be bought with money?"
"But since you're willing to take out such a treasure, it's enough to show your sincerity towards Shanshan. I won't reject it and accept it."
Grandfather Cao loved these two treasures so much that he couldn't bear to part with them. It was as if he was afraid that Ling Yun would go back on his words.
Ling Yun suddenly changed the topic. "Grandpa Cao, Uncle Cao, I have a small request."
Cao Junxiong laughed heartily. "Speak, speak boldly. Grandpa Cao will agree even if it's a hundred requests!"
"Grandpa Cao, my father, Ling Xiao, has been missing for a long time. The most important thing for me to come to Beijing this time is to find my father. Therefore, before I find my father, I hope that you can help me keep my identity a secret …" Ling Yun said thoughtfully.
"Say no more."
Cao Junxiong didn't wait for Ling Yun to finish. He waved his hand and said solemnly, "Ling Yun, since you've revealed your identity to me today, the Cao Family and the Ling Family will be in-laws from now on!"
"From now on, your matters and the Ling Family's matters are also the Cao Family's matters!"
"I also know what happened to the Ling Family eighteen years ago. The Ling Family's matters are too important to the whole of Huaxia, especially your father, Ling Xiao!"
"Don't talk about keeping your identity a secret. Even if you need our help, the Cao Family will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Grandfather Cao made the final decision.
Because it concerned Ling Xiao's life and death, Ling Yun reminded him repeatedly. He didn't expect Grandfather Cao to say such a thing.
Since that was the case, there was no need to say anything else.
"Thank you, Grandpa Cao."
At this moment, Ling Yun sensed two cars parked at the entrance of the courtyard house. (To be continued.)
