Ling Lie and Ling Yun returned home openly. Ling Lie displayed a domineering aura that he had never shown before!
Ling Lie was eighty years old. He was someone who had witnessed the glory of the Ling Family and the decline of the Ling Family from the pinnacle of Huaxia. The feeling of going from victory to defeat wasn't something that others could understand.
More than forty years ago, all the masters of the Ling Family above Xiantian Realm left their nest and entered the legendary Kunlun Mountains because of an extremely secretive matter. Until now, no one knew if they were still alive or not.
Ling Lie was only thirty years old then. He was at the pinnacle of the Xiantian Realm, but he wasn't even ranked in the Ling Family then.
With Ling Lie's status in the Ling Family back then, he didn't even have the right to inquire about this matter. Therefore, he only knew how it happened but didn't know why it happened.
However, at that time, not only did the Ling Family send out all their experts, but the Long Family and the Qin Family, which stood at the peak of Huaxia, also sent out their strongest experts. The Long Family went to Penglai, and the Qin Family entered the mausoleum of Emperor Qin. Similarly, they never returned, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Therefore, because of this case, even though the Ling Family, the Long Family, and the Qin Family suffered great losses, they were all affected. Relatively speaking, everyone's power was about the same, and they still stood at the pinnacle of Huaxia.
Until eighteen years ago, when Ling Xiao fell in love with the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, Yin Qingxuan, the Ling Family was besieged by the masters of both the righteous and evil sects. The members of the Ling Family weren't afraid of death and fought with their lives on the line. In the end, it was the Long Family who intervened and made Ling Xiao cripple his own martial arts to marry someone else. At the same time, Ling Xiao swore that he would never see Yin Qingxuan again in this life. Only then did the matter settle down and the Ling Family was saved.
However, at this time, the experts of the Ling Family had all died, and only Ling Lie's bloodline was left. The Ling Family had suffered a huge blow, and they no longer had the qualifications to be on par with the Long Family.
That year, Ling Lie was almost sixty years old. After that tragic battle, the Ling Family's power and status were slowly eroded by the other families. The Ling Family slowly declined, and in the end, they became the last of the seven big families in Beijing!
In that battle, Ling Lie was severely injured. His meridians and energy center were damaged. Even though he cultivated day and night for the past eighteen years and visited famous doctors, he could only barely maintain his Xiantian Realm Level One. Furthermore, his combat power was greatly reduced.
Originally, Grandpa Ling was completely disheartened. He thought that this was all he could do. The Ling Family could only decline bit by bit until they completely dropped out of the Eight Great Families of Huaxia.
However, he never expected that his third son, Ling Xiao, who had committed such a grave mistake, would actually give birth to such an outstanding grandson!
Not only did Yin Qingxuan give birth to Ling Yun, but Ling Yun also managed to survive in Qingshui City unscathed. Furthermore, he suddenly rose up in an invincible manner, acknowledged his ancestors, and returned to the Ling Family!
Now that Ling Xiao had been rescued and Ling Yun was by his side, Ling Lie didn't need to be cautious and bide his time!
During the days when Ling Yun returned from Beijing to Qingshui City, Ling Lie didn't only cultivate his martial arts crazily. He had also been planning in his heart. He had already arranged everything after Ling Yun acknowledged his ancestors.
Eighteen years of humiliation had become a thing of the past. The day of the Ling Family's rise was right in front of them!
Ling Lie looked at Ling Yun standing in front of him in broad daylight. It was as though he could already see the day when the Ling Family would once again stand at the peak of Huaxia!
Ling Lie, as his grandfather, had witnessed Ling Yun's heaven-defying strength. Ling Lie was looking forward to the changes that his precious grandson could bring to the Ling Family!
That was why Ling Lie didn't mind Qin Dongxue's reminder and fully expressed his attitude.
Ling Yun naturally had his own things to do when he returned to the Ling Family. The rest of the matters would naturally be handled by him, the master of the Xiantian Realm Level Eight.
That was why Grandpa Ling Lie made such a domineering declaration that he would support Ling Yun in everything!
The courage of the Ling Family was engraved in their bones. It flowed in their blood and was passed down from generation to generation.
From old to young, there were no exceptions.
Having Grandpa Ling as a shield and sharing Ling Yun's burdens was a feeling that Ling Yun had never experienced before. Naturally, he was secretly happy now.
He understood that from now on, he no longer had to rely on himself to hold up the sky and rack his brains all day long. He could finally boldly do his own things.
This was the feeling of returning home.
"Hehe, Grandpa is right. That's how it should be."
Ling Yun first complimented Ling Lie, then winked at Qin Dongxue.
Qin Dongxue had no choice but to roll her eyes and give Ling Yun a look that told him to do whatever he wanted.
"Grandpa, let's talk inside."
Ling Yun turned to look at Cui Lao. He took a step forward and held Cui Lao's right hand. "Cui Lao, let me treat your injuries first."
Cui Lao knew Ling Yun's medical skills and didn't decline. He allowed Ling Yun to hold his hand, and the two of them returned to the house with everyone else.
It only took three to five minutes for Ling Yun to treat Cui Lao's internal injuries completely.
Cui Lao was shocked because he was injured by the sword aura of a Xiantian Realm Level Eight King of Assassins. His meridians were severed, and his internal injuries were actually very serious. He didn't expect Ling Yun to treat him completely in just a few minutes.
Moreover, Ling Yun actually circulated his True Qi in Cui Lao's body more than ten times in just a few minutes. The speed of his True Qi circulation was really terrifying!
Ling Yun only retracted his palm after seeing that Cui Lao was fine.
Cui Lao cupped his fists hurriedly. "Thank you, Fourth Young Master."
Ling Yun laughed and waved his hand casually. "Cui Lao, we're a family, so let's be more casual in the future. There's no need to be so polite."
Cui Lao was a loyal servant of the Ling Family and a good brother of Ling Lie. Of course, Ling Yun didn't want him to talk to him as a servant all day. That would be too tiring and troublesome.
Cui Lao grinned and didn't say anything else.
There were many things that could be understood in one's heart. There was no need to keep talking about it.
After treating Cui Lao's injuries, Ling Yun turned to look at Mo Wudao. "Not bad, Mo Wudao. I didn't expect you to be so good at fortune-telling. You were very accurate in predicting my father's whereabouts, and the direction wasn't wrong at all!"
"Of course!"
Mo Wudao wasn't as reserved when talking to Ling Yun as he was with Ling Lie. He chuckled and was incomparably proud.
Ling Yun said seriously, "I didn't bring you to Beijing for nothing. You've done a great job this time!"
Looking at Mo Wudao, Ling Yun felt that he was lucky to have met him. When he was seriously injured during his tribulation, Mo Wudao silently woke him up by calling his soul.
Ling Xiao's whereabouts were unknown. Mo Wudao peeked at Heaven's Secrets and predicted Ling Xiao's whereabouts. This allowed Ling Yun to find Ling Xiao easily and rescue him.
It could be said that Mo Wudao had saved both Ling Yun and his father's lives.
If this wasn't a great deal, then what was?
Moreover, among all the people Ling Yun knew, Mo Wudao was the only one who didn't benefit from Ling Yun at all. Instead, he was the only one who was indebted to Ling Yun!
Of course, Ling Yun wouldn't mention such a favor, but he knew it very well in his heart.
Mo Wudao chuckled. "Hehe, as long as you don't forget what we agreed on!"
Ling Yun chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't forget."
Before coming to Beijing from Qingshui, Mo Wudao had once looked for Ling Yun alone and told him mysteriously that there was an underground palace under Beijing. It was built by a Fengshui Master during the construction of the city. Mo Wudao's realm wasn't high enough, so he begged Ling Yun to bring him to investigate.
Even if Ling Yun himself knew that there was such an underground palace under Beijing, he had to investigate it personally. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live up to his identity as an Array Formation Grandmaster!
"Father."
At this moment, Ling Xiao walked in from outside and greeted Ling Lie. Then, he lifted his long robe and knelt down in front of Ling Lie.
At this moment, Ling Lie had already changed his clothes. However, he wasn't dressed in modern urban attire. Instead, he was wearing a green robe that made him look elegant and refined.
"Father, I'm unfilial to have gone missing for so many days. I'm sorry for making you worry!"
Even though Ling Lie and Ling Xiao had met at the Assassins Organization's branch in Beijing, they were busy with the battle at that time and couldn't really kneel down. At this moment, Ling Xiao kowtowed.
"Third Brother, it's good that you're back. It's not that you're unfilial, it's that I'm useless. I didn't save you until now and caused you to suffer so much. Get up!"
Ling Lie raised his hand and lifted Ling Xiao up from the ground.
"Yun Er, come over quickly and greet your father."
Seeing Ling Xiao enter, Ling Yun had already stood up. When Ling Xiao stood up, Ling Yun immediately knelt down in front of Ling Lie.
Respectfully, he kowtowed three times.
"Your son, Ling Yun, greets father!"
These three kowtows signified that Ling Yun had truly acknowledged his father. As for the Ling Family's ancestral worship in two days, that was just a formality.
"Good child, get up."
Ling Xiao's eyes were filled with gratification. With a smile on his face, he accepted the three kowtows from Ling Yun before bending over to pull Ling Yun up.
Both father and son stood facing each other. Ling Xiao raised his hand and patted Ling Yun's head before patting his shoulder. Both father and son smiled knowingly.
Blood was thicker than water. Everything was understood without words.
Qin Dongxue, who had witnessed the scene of Ling Yun and his son reuniting, observed Ling Xiao carefully. Ling Xiao was indeed one of the best men in the world to be able to win the heart of the previous Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect.
Only a father like this could have given birth to a son like this.
"Ling Xiao thanks Miss Qin for saving my life."
After meeting his father and acknowledging him as his son, Ling Xiao naturally had to express his gratitude to Qin Dongxue.
Qin Dongxue was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Father, Aunty came to Beijing with me to help me save you. We're all family, you don't have to be so polite."
Ling Yun's words helped Qin Dongxue out of her predicament.
"Yes, yes, yes, we're all family! We're all family! It's nothing, Big … Big Brother Ling, you don't have to be so polite. "
Qin Dongxue's face turned red when she finally managed to call him Big Brother Ling. (To be continued.)
