The Ling Family left the ancestral hall after the ceremony.
"Yun 'er, keep this small tree as well. From now on, you will be in charge of the Ling Family's inheritance. "
Ling Lie waited for everyone to leave before he picked up the other Divine Ghost Willow and passed it to Ling Yun.
"Okay."
Ling Yun replied and put the Ghost Divine Willow into his spatial ring.
Ling Lie turned back to look at the ancestral tablets before patting Ling Yun's shoulder. "Let's go. Grandpa is holding a family banquet tonight to welcome you back."
In the past, every time the Ling Family worshipped their ancestors, they would hold a family banquet according to tradition. This was because on this day, all the Ling Family members would gather together.
Apart from Ling Lie and Ling Xiao, the rest of the Ling Family had their own residences in Beijing. They usually stayed there and rarely stayed at home.
But this time, it was undoubtedly the most complete gathering of the Ling Family because Ling Yun was back.
There were three other meanings to this family banquet.
Ling Yun's return to the Ling Family was to welcome him back.
Ling Xiao's successful rescue meant that the Ling Family would no longer be hindered. This was a joyous occasion and a celebration.
Furthermore, Ling Yun's return meant that the Ling Family's strength had increased tremendously. The day of their rise was right in front of them!
Ling Yun followed Ling Lie out of the ancestral hall and the small courtyard where the ancestral hall was located.
"Fourth Brother! You're finally out. I've been waiting for you here for a long time! "
Ling Yun saw Ling Hao standing at the entrance as soon as he walked out of the courtyard. He walked up to Ling Yun immediately with a warm smile on his face. He was extremely enthusiastic.
Ling Yun sneered in his heart. "Oh, it's just two steps. There's no need to wait."
He was indifferent towards Ling Hao.
Ling Hao's smile froze on his face. But very quickly, he smiled awkwardly and put his arm around Ling Yun's shoulder.
At the same time, he said, "Fourth brother, you're really amazing. I've heard about your story from our younger brothers and sisters. As the big brother, I really admire you!"
Ling Yun dodged Ling Hao's outstretched arm and said, "It's nothing. As a member of the Ling Family, it's my duty to serve them."
Ling Hao started to panic when he saw that Ling Yun was not interested in him. He started to feel that something was wrong.
Could it be that Ling Yun really knew what he had done?
But he didn't have a falling out with me. What was he trying to do?
Ling Hao's heart was in a mess. He stood there awkwardly.
"Fourth Brother, I heard from my siblings that you gave them a lot of gifts this time around. They were all ecstatic. I wonder if you have any extra weapons with you. Can you give me one so that I, as your big brother, can show off to the others when I return to the Condor Team? "
Hearing this, Ling Yun finally smiled brightly. "Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a big present later! I promise you'll be satisfied! "
How could Ling Yun not see through Ling Hao's hypocrisy? He was pretending to be warm and friendly with Ling Yun.
Ling Hao had a guilty conscience. He was using this method to test Ling Yun.
Of course, Ling Yun had a big present for Ling Hao. He would have taken it out if they weren't in such a solemn place like the ancestral hall.
"Haha, what a good brother! Then, as your big brother, I'll have to thank you first! "
Ling Hao wasn't a fool. He wasn't happy to hear that Ling Yun had a big present for him. Instead, he felt a chill down his spine!
That wasn't the way to give a present.
Ling Hao's eyes darted around as he tried to come up with a solution. "Grandpa, I just broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Four …" he said to Ling Lie.
"Oh? Hao Er, so you still see me as your grandpa? "
Ling Lie didn't leave. He stood at the side and observed the first conversation between the two most special juniors in the Ling Family.
At first, Ling Lie was very happy to see Ling Hao waiting for Ling Yun at the door. However, Ling Lie soon realized that Ling Yun was indifferent to Ling Hao's enthusiasm. This inevitably made Ling Lie a little disappointed.
Frankly speaking, the words that Old Master Ling Lie said in the Ling Family's ancestral hall were mainly for these two to hear. He was afraid that there would be problems between the two of them, so he said those words on the spur of the moment.
Of course, Ling Lie had just appointed Ling Yun as the future head of the Ling Family. Ling Lie's words weren't meant for him but to warn Ling Hao.
However, it didn't seem to have much effect now.
Ling Yun's attitude towards Ling Hao was completely different from how he treated his other siblings. It was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Ling Lie was a little worried.
However, Ling Yun was now the treasure of the Ling Family. He couldn't say anything to Ling Yun, so he could only beat Ling Hao up.
Ling Hao had been tricked by Ling Yun three times. He wanted to ease the awkwardness by telling Ling Lie about his breakthrough. At the same time, he wanted to get Ling Lie's approval. However, he didn't expect Ling Lie to not mention it at all. Instead, he vented his anger on him.
His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, look at you. How can you be jealous of my fourth brother? Didn't I just see you? This is the first time I see my fourth brother …"
Seeing that Ling Hao was so long-winded, Ling Lie waved his hand and said, "Alright, if you have anything to say, say it to Ling Yun at the banquet. You're the eldest brother. Don't you find it embarrassing to ask for something from your own brother?"
"Let's go, don't let the others wait too long."
With that, Ling Lie turned around and strode back to his courtyard.
He shook his head as he walked, thinking that it still wouldn't work. It was strange. This was the first time Ling Yun met Hao, but he didn't even call him big brother. That shouldn't be the case …
Ling Lie was puzzled. He didn't expect Ling Yun's killer brother to be right in front of him!
"Look, Fourth Brother, you've become the treasure of the family the moment you come back. You're the apple of Grandpa's eye! You have so many treasures, and I can't even ask for a gift from you … "
Ling Hao expressed his envy half-truthfully, but he was actually complimenting Ling Yun. At the same time, he was extremely jealous.
"Hehe …" Ling Yun smiled faintly.
Ling Yun smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a present."
With that, Ling Yun ignored Ling Hao and quickly caught up with Ling Lie. The two of them arrived at Ling Lie's house.
The Ling Family reunited and gathered together for a family banquet.
In all these years, Grandpa Ling Lie had never been as happy as he was today. He accepted all the toasts from the children and drank until his glass was empty. Every mouthful of wine was drunk until not a drop was left.
At the banquet, Ling Lie's face could be said to be glowing. He drank to his heart's content until he was tipsy. Grandpa Ling couldn't help but reminisce about the difficult times of the past and look forward to the bright future of the Ling Family. He even officially announced the rise of the Ling Family!
This banquet lasted for more than two hours and only ended at ten o 'clock at night.
Other than drinking and toasting, Ling Yun also found an excuse to go out and send a message when no one was paying attention.
Ling Yun couldn't miss the opportunity to make a move on Ling Hao.
At the end of the family banquet, Ling Lie stood up. He was a little shaky, but he rejected the people around him to help him up. His face was glowing as he said, "Ever since that night 18 years ago, I have never been so happy. My precious grandson has finally returned to our Ling Family. The bitter days of our Ling Family have come to an end …"
Ling Lie rambled on for a while before announcing the end of the banquet with a smile on his face.
Ling Lie had just announced the end of the family banquet and everyone was about to leave when Ling Yun suddenly stood up.
"Grandpa, I still have something to say."
He had a smile on his face and was calm. However, as he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Ling Hao, who was about to get up and slip away!
Ling Hao's body stiffened under Ling Yun's gaze. Cold sweat broke out all over his body!
Ling Zhen, who had just stood up, was also shocked!
Ling Lie waved his hand. "Oh, Yun Er, so you still have something to say. Alright then, since everyone is here, say whatever you want to say. Grandpa will help you!"
"Alright, since Grandpa has said so, I'll have to ask Grandpa to help me with this matter."
Ling Yun stared at Ling Hao without blinking. Suddenly, he said something that shocked the entire Ling Family!
"Ling Hao, when I was in Qingshui City, you sent people to kill me time and time again after you found me. How are we going to settle this score?"
As he spoke, Ling Yun's powerful aura exuded from his body. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he locked onto Ling Hao!
"What!"
"What!"
"Ah!"
"This … this …"
Hearing Ling Yun's words, everyone in the Ling Family stood up with their mouths agape and eyes wide open. All the alcohol they had just drunk sobered up in an instant!
Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat!
However, he only came to a sudden realization and immediately raised his head without hesitation. He looked at his son and said in a deep voice, "Yun'er, don't talk nonsense!"
Lecturing his wife behind his back and teaching his son in front of his face, Ling Xiao saw that Ling Yun's words were about to pierce through the heavens. He could no longer care about the fact that he had just reunited with his son and immediately reprimanded Ling Yun.
"Father, I'm not spouting nonsense. From the end of March until the night of the Qingming Festival, Ling Hao sent people to Qingshui City to assassinate me five times!" Ling Yun said word by word.
If you don't believe me, you can ask him now! "
"Ling Hao, do you dare to admit this matter in front of the whole family?! Speak! "(To be continued.)
