Ling Yun had already asked his grandfather, Ling Lie, about Ling Xiao's birthday. He had already memorized it, so he told Mo Wu Dao immediately.
Who knew that Mo Wu Dao would be stunned after hearing Ling Xiao's birthday. "Uncle Ling is actually born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month?"
Ling Yun smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly.
Even though Ling Yun wasn't proficient in divination, he knew that people born on special days would be tainted with too much karma. Their fates would often be full of twists and turns, even bizarre.
The more karma involved, the more heavenly secrets it would carry. The fates of such people were difficult to divine.
Mo Wu Dao couldn't maintain his composure anymore. He frowned slightly and fiddled with the three copper coins in his hand, making a series of crisp sounds in the quiet living room.
Ling Yun asked, "Why? Is there a problem? "
Ling Yun asked. Mo Wu Dao pondered for a while, as if trying to find the right words. After a while, he said, "Ling Yun, you should know that you carry too much karma. That's why the fates of those who come into contact with you are always full of ups and downs."
Ling Yun naturally understood this point, so he nodded his head silently.
"And for those who are tainted with karma, the closer they are to you, the stronger their fates will be affected by you. That's why it's even harder to divine them.
"When it comes to your biological parents, it's actually like peeping into the heavenly secrets to divine them.
"And Uncle Ling was born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, so it's even harder to divine."
Mo Wu Dao gave two reasons. One was that Ling Yun's fate involved the heavenly secrets, so it was impossible to divine. Ling Xiao was Ling Yun's biological father, so it was difficult to divine in itself. The other reason was that Ling Xiao's birthday was on the ninth lunar month, so the karma he carried was huge, making things even more difficult.
Ling Yun frowned and asked, "So you're saying that you can't divine it?"
If Mo Wu Dao really couldn't divine it, Ling Yun definitely wouldn't let him stay in the doghouse.
Mo Wu Dao said seriously, "At least here, I can't divine it, so I didn't do it. But it's not like there's no other way."
The first divination was the most accurate. The more he divined, the less accurate it would be. Mo Wu Dao naturally understood this point, so he simply chose not to do it.
Ling Yun's tense nerves immediately relaxed. He scolded, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to fart, say it quickly. Don't waste time."
Mo Wu Dao thought for a moment, then said directly, "To find out where Uncle Ling is now, just knowing his date of birth is not enough. We have to go to the place where he usually lives, and it would be best if we have his recent photos."
"If that's the case, the place where he usually lives has the smell of his life. In addition, by looking at his picture and seeing his birth date, I can give it a try."
The aura of life that Mo Wudao was talking about belonged to the category of Qi Gazing. Adding in the photo, it was equivalent to reading one's physiognomy, Qi Gazing, and divination.
"That's not a problem!"
Ling Yun agreed immediately. Then, he took out his communicator and contacted Cui Lao to explain the situation.
Cui Lao was extremely anxious after hearing it. "I'll go pick you up now."
Twenty minutes later, Cui Lao drove to the entrance of the courtyard house. Ling Yun scanned with his divine sense and knew that Cui Lao was there. He immediately brought Mo Wu Dao and Edward out of the courtyard and into the car.
After the three of them got in, Cui Lao stepped on the accelerator, and the car returned to the Ling Family's ancestral home.
"Cui Lao, have you told my grandfather about this?" Ling Yun asked directly.
Cui Lao nodded as he drove. "Yes, he has arranged everything. Don't worry."
After saying that, Cui Lao muttered to himself for a moment. Suddenly, he turned to look at Ling Yun and said awkwardly, "Fourth Young Master, I might have to meet someone at this hour …"
Needless to say, the place where Ling Xiao usually lived was naturally his own home. Who else was in Ling Xiao's family?
Ling Xiao's wife, Ling Xue's mother!
Ling Yun naturally thought of this and remained silent for a moment.
"Fourth Young Master, Ling Xue's mother is called Dong Ruolan. She's also … actually a person with a hard life."
Cui Lao saw that Ling Yun didn't speak, and his heart was in his throat.
"Cui Lao, you don't have to say anything. I understand. It's fine."
That was eighteen years ago, and it was his father's matter. What else could Ling Yun say?
However, at the same time, Ling Yun's heart seemed to have been ignited. That was the fire of hatred, and it had never burned so fiercely before!
He thought of how his father swore in front of both the righteous and evil sects, as well as his mother, that he would never see Yin Qingxuan again. Furthermore, he would immediately marry someone else and give birth to a child. How humiliating was that scene?
How heartbroken was Yin Qingxuan?
And all of this was forced by others!
A scholar would rather be killed than humiliated! Such humiliation was even greater than the hatred of killing one's father and stealing one's wife!
However, that woman called Dong Ruolan was innocent. Ling Yun was very clear that Dong Ruolan was actually very pitiful because Ling Xiao married her but didn't love her.
As Ling Yun thought about this, he couldn't help but clench his fists. A surge of hot blood surged in his body.
Twenty minutes later, the group of four arrived at the Ling Family's ancestral home. Cui Lao drove directly into the third courtyard before stopping the car.
Ling Lie was already waiting in the courtyard. Not far behind him stood a middle-aged woman. Other than the two of them, there was no one else in the courtyard.
Ling Yun was the first to get out of the car. He came in front of Ling Lie and knelt on one knee. "Grandchild greets Grandpa."
Seeing that his precious grandson was finally home, Ling Lie was naturally happy. He immediately reached out and pulled Ling Yun up from the ground. He sized Ling Yun up from head to toe.
"Mmm, you've improved since a month ago. It's good that you're home."
Ling Lie raised his hand and patted Ling Yun's shoulder. Then, he grabbed Ling Yun's hand and walked towards the middle-aged woman.
There was no time to waste. Of course, this wasn't the time to reminisce about the past.
That middle-aged woman was naturally Dong Ruolan. She was dressed very appropriately. Her slender figure didn't lose her gentleness. Her appearance was also dignified and beautiful. However, there was already white hair on her head even though she wasn't even forty years old. Obviously, she wasn't living a comfortable life.
Seeing Ling Yun kneel to Ling Lie, Dong Ruolan's body couldn't help but tremble. Of course, she knew who the person was.
"Ruolan, let me introduce you. This is Third Brother's son, Ling Yun."
This was indeed an extremely awkward scene. Grandpa Ling forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart. He grabbed Ling Yun's hand tightly and forcefully introduced Ling Yun to Dong Ruolan.
"Ling Yun, this is …"
However, when Grandpa Ling turned around and wanted to introduce Dong Ruolan to Ling Yun, he didn't know how to phrase his words.
Should he say that she was Ling Xiao's wife? How should Ling Yun address her? Did Ling Yun know how to address her?
These were all extremely awkward questions.
Grandpa Ling Lie also froze for a moment. His hand that was holding Ling Yun was sweating.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ling Yun actually walked up to Dong Ruolan quietly and stood in front of her.
"Hello, Auntie Dong. My father has been missing for such a long time. I'm sorry to have made you worried. I'm here today to think of a way to find my father."
Ling Yun didn't make things difficult for this poor woman.
Dong Ruolan's delicate body trembled. She wanted to say something, but her lips moved for a long time. However, no words came out. She could only nod her head blankly.
"Oh, right, right. Let's get down to business first. Let's go into the house, let's go in."
Seeing that Ling Yun had greeted Dong Ruolan just like that, Ling Lie's heart relaxed. He hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over so that this awkward scene wouldn't continue.
Dong Ruolan stared deeply at Ling Yun before finally saying, "Come in."
Ling Lie, Ling Yun, Mo Wudao, and Dong Ruolan walked into the house. Cui Lao and Edward naturally waited in the courtyard.
Entering the house, Ling Yun realized that the entire house was clean and tidy. Everything was neat and tidy. He couldn't help but nod his head in approval.
She was a respectable woman.
"Father, please take a seat and rest. I'll go serve tea."
Dong Ruolan hurriedly went to serve tea once they entered the house.
"Ahem, there's no need. Let them get down to business."
Even Ling Lie only visited Ling Xiao's house a few times a year. Now that he was in his daughter-in-law's room so late at night, it was naturally awkward.
Dong Ruolan stopped in her tracks and turned around. "I'll go get something then."
Soon, a photo of Ling Xiao, dressed in the clothes that Ling Xiao usually wore, was sent to everyone.
Ling Yun noticed that Ling Xiao wasn't the only person in the photo. There was also a beautiful girl in the photo. It was Ling Xue, whom he had met at the sea.
"This is the clothes he wore in Spring. This photo was taken when Xue Er joined the Condor Team with her father."
Dong Ruolan's eyes were red as she wiped away her tears.
Ling Yun didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Mo Wudao.
Mo Wu Dao nodded. He stood up and walked one round around each room, using his Qi Divination technique to look at the Qi of everyone present.
Finally, he walked back and said to everyone, "I'm going to start my divination now. Old Master, Ling Yun, please leave this place at least a hundred meters away."
Right now, there were three people in the room. One was Ling Xiao's father, one was Ling Xiao's son, and one was Ling Xiao's wife. They could be said to be Ling Xiao's closest kin. With them here, Mo Wu Dao was worried that his divination would be inaccurate.
"Alright!"
Ling Yun naturally understood what Mo Wudao meant. He and Ling Lie looked at each other and agreed immediately. Then, the three of them stood up and walked out of the house.
"Let's go to my backyard," Ling Lie said immediately.
Ling Lie said as soon as the three of them left the house. He lived in the ninth courtyard of the Ling Family's mansion, which was the furthest from here.
Ling Yun nodded and immediately waved at Cui Lao and Edward. The group went to Ling Lie's small courtyard.
After Mo Wudao confirmed that everyone had gone far away, his expression became incomparably solemn.
He first looked at Ling Xiao's photo carefully for a while, then picked up three copper coins and muttered something.
Then, he tossed the three copper coins into the air!
No one knew what technique Mo Wudao used, but the three copper coins danced in the air and collided with each other. After more than ten seconds, they landed on the coffee table!
"Pfff …"
The moment the copper coins landed, Mo Wudao's body shook violently. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood! (To be continued.)
