… …
Ling Yun's lips curled into a faint sneer. As he spoke, he folded the letter carefully and put it back into the envelope. Then, he kept it in his Taixu Ring.
He couldn't tear the letter now. Even if he wanted to, he had to tear it in front of the Long Family. Otherwise, Ling Yun wouldn't be able to vent his anger!
Ling Yun looked at Ling Lie and said seriously, "Grandpa, if I may be so bold, from now on, you don't have to worry about the matters between the Ling Family and the Long Family. Just leave it all to me."
Ling Yun's attitude was clear. He wouldn't let Ling Lie interfere with the matters between the Ling Family and the Long Family.
This wasn't because Ling Yun was arrogant, nor was it because he didn't respect his elders. It was because he had deeper considerations.
This was because Ling Yun had completely understood that to the Ling Family, everyone else, from Ling Lie and Ling Xiao to the younger generation of the Ling Family, had a sense of gratitude and even respect for the Long Family. Whenever the Long Family was mentioned, the expression on the faces of the Ling Family would change.
Gratitude, respect, hesitation, struggle, helplessness … There were all kinds of expressions.
Ling Yun was very clear about the formation of this situation. Firstly, the Long Family had done the Ling Family a great favor. Everyone in the Ling Family was grateful to the Long Family. Naturally, they would be restrained when facing the Long Family.
Secondly, the Ling Family had gone through a battle of life and death eighteen years ago. In these eighteen years, there wasn't a single true expert in the Ling Family. There was a gap in the Ling Family. Therefore, after so many years, the Ling Family didn't improve at all. Instead, they declined day by day.
This caused the Ling Family to instinctively rely on the Long Family. The Long Family treated the Ling Family with kindness and authority. After a long time, the Ling Family had a sense of respect and fear when facing the Long Family.
Even though they were one of the eight big families in Huaxia, the Ling Family had to rely on others to survive. To put it nicely, it was an alliance. To put it bluntly, it was actually a vassal.
In fact, from Ling Yun's point of view, the Ling Family's attitude towards the Long Family was that of a slave!
Otherwise, when Long Haoran was writing to the Ling Family, he definitely wouldn't have written something like "I advise the Ling Family to value peace".
How high and mighty was this? How overbearing was this?!
Furthermore, this was under the condition that the Ling Family had Ling Yun and were showing signs of rising up. They even dared to go against the alliance of the Sun and Chen Families!
What if the Ling Family didn't have a Ling Yun?
Long Haoran would probably be too lazy to even write this letter. At most, he would send someone over to say a few words. As long as it was an order for the Ling Family to be more well-behaved and not cause any trouble, the Ling Family would not dare to move and obey his orders!
On the other hand, Long Haoran's actions showed that he had never looked at the Ling Family in the eye for so many years. In his heart, he didn't care about the Ling Family at all!
How terrifying was that?!
However, there was no doubt that Long Haoran had made a grave mistake this time. This was because Ling Yun had returned. Not only did he return, but he had also become the head of the Ling Family!
In the past, Long Haoran's move would definitely work on the Ling Family. However, the Ling Family now had Ling Yun. Long Haoran's actions would only incite Ling Yun's anger!
The Ling Family might be afraid of the Long Family, but Ling Yun definitely wouldn't!
When had Ling Yun ever needed others to tell him what to do?
The sun would rise from the west if he wanted to get Ling Yun to give in to Long Haoran!
Not only would Ling Yun not listen to the Long Family, but he also wanted the Ling Family to completely break out of their psychological cage. He wanted them to be free from their shackles of gratitude and fear!
Otherwise, even if the Ling Family could emerge victorious in the upcoming life-and-death battle, they would still be a subordinate of the Long Family. It would just be a more powerful subordinate.
If that was really the case, the Ling Family would never be able to stand out. How could they even talk about rising up?
It was precisely because of this that Ling Yun volunteered to take over all the affairs of the Long Family. He wanted to face the Long Family personally.
Indeed, after hearing Ling Yun's words, Grandpa Ling Lie's face suddenly stiffened. His eyes were filled with struggle and helplessness. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He hesitated for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
"Sigh …"
"Alright!"
Ling Lie agreed to Ling Yun. After agreeing, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Ling Lie's tensed body visibly collapsed.
"Yun Er, Grandpa is old and useless. In the future, the Ling Family will really have to rely on you …"
Hearing Ling Lie's discouraged words, Ling Yun sighed in his heart. Once again, he deeply felt the suppression that the Long Family had on the Ling Family. He felt how much pressure Ling Lie and the rest felt when facing the Long Family!
That kind of pressure was heavier than Mount Tai. It was enough to crush Ling Lie and the entire Ling Family.
In this situation, he had to use some means to forcefully break through!
"Grandpa, what are you saying?"
Ling Yun stepped forward and grabbed Ling Lie's hand. He channeled a large amount of spiritual energy into Ling Lie's body to boost Grandpa Ling's morale. Then, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, you're a straightforward person who values relationships and righteousness. All these years, you've been thinking about the Long Family's kindness. That's why you've always tolerated the Long Family and caused our Ling Family to be controlled by them …"
"But Grandpa!"
"That's not how you repay kindness!"
Ling Yun suddenly raised his head, and the aura of a Qi Cultivation Stage Two erupted from his body. His aura enveloped the entire room as he said proudly, "It's not too late to talk about repaying kindness when our Ling Family truly rises or even subdues the Long Family!"
"…"
"…"
Ling Lie and Cui Lao were completely dumbfounded by Ling Yun's words!
Talk about repaying kindness after subduing the Long Family …
What kind of godly logic was that?
Big Brother Yun's train of thought was too shocking and heaven-defying!
Looking at Ling Lie and Cui Lao's shocked expressions, Ling Yun smiled faintly and said, "Grandpa, let me tell you a joke."
"When we were in Qingshui City, Tie Xiaohu was driving with me. He parked illegally and got fined by the traffic police."
Ling Yun glanced at the two of them again and purposely kept them in suspense. "Guess, how did Tie Xiaohu do it?"
Ling Lie and Cui Lao's interest was piqued by Ling Yun. "How did he do it?"
"Hehe …" Ling Yun chuckled.
Ling Yun chuckled. "Tie Xiaohu couldn't possibly drive away because I wasn't done with my business. He just parked his car there and let the traffic policeman slap more than ten tickets on him. He only said one thing, 'Stop your car here and punish me however you like!'"
Cui Lao was stunned. He thought that Ling Yun and the others were definitely capable of doing such a thing.
Ling Lie smiled bitterly. "Aren't you guys messing around?"
Ling Yun smiled and nodded. "We were indeed messing around a little. However, even though it was a small matter, it showed us a principle."
"It's true that we were in the wrong. It's not a problem for us to accept the punishment because we can take the punishment and pay the fine!"
Ling Lie's eyes flashed with understanding when he heard this.
Ling Yun continued, "The principle of the world is the same. You can see the big from the small. It's the same principle for our Ling Family against the Long Family."
"Grandpa, we do owe the Long Family a favor. However, they can't use this to bully our Ling Family. They can do it once or twice, but they want us to remember their kindness and rely on it. They want us to listen to them for everything. That's definitely not possible!"
"We will definitely repay the Long Family for this favor. However, we still have to do what we should do when it comes to the relationship between our two families!"
"No matter what it is, as long as you discuss it with me, I will naturally respect you. Anything is fine. However, if you think that I owe you something, you want to order me around, plot against me, and bully me, I will first beat you into submission before talking to you about repaying the favor! "
"We can still repay the Long Family's favor!"
"If the Long Family really wants the Ling Family to repay the favor, that's fine. They want my dragon saliva, right? I can give it all to them! Even if they want me to give them a True Dragon, I can search the entire world to find one for them. That won't be a problem! "
Ling Yun said these words resolutely. Then, he raised his head and said sternly, "But the Long Family never mentioned anything about repaying us. They only wanted us to remember it in our hearts. Then, they relied on this to bully us. They wanted to use us as cannon fodder and even bully us. That's the Long Family's fault!"
"This is called taking advantage of kindness to bully others! Furthermore, this is the behavior of a despicable person! "
"I always beat up such despicable people directly. After I beat them into submission, we can all sit down and have a good talk …"
That was Ling Yun's logic.
There was no way they could bully me!
Ling Yun was a little unhappy with the Long Family because of Long Tianjiao and the kidnapping of Long Kun and Long Wu. Now, this letter from the head of the Long Family, Long Haoran, had made Ling Yun really hostile towards the Long Family.
At this moment, Ling Yun's heart was full of fighting spirit!
He knew very well that the Ling Family respected the Long Family so much. Was it really just because of the favor? Definitely not!
To put it bluntly, it was all in one word: strength!
The Long Family's strength made the Ling Family look up to them. That was why they chose to bow down to them.
It was like a salaryman who earned a few thousand yuan a month owing a billionaire a million yuan. He couldn't afford it and could only work hard to repay the debt.
Then, in his daily life, when he faced the billionaire, he would naturally listen to whatever the other party said. To the person who owed him money, this kindness was too great.
However, if the other party was also a billionaire, and also owed a million, and could repay it at any time, or even double the amount, would he bow and scrape to the other party one day?
If the Ling Family was strong enough that the Long Family could only look up to them, would Long Haoran still dare to write such a letter?
He wouldn't dare even if he was beaten to death! (To be continued.)
