The Ling Family's residence.
After Ling Yun left the house, Ling Lie called Ling Yue to his courtyard through telepathy.
Ling Yue and Kui Kui entered the house, took out his communicator, and placed it on the square table.
"Father, this is the content of my conversation with Yun Er yesterday, including the battle to the death. It was really dangerous. Listen to it."
As he spoke, Ling Yue pressed a button on the communication device and turned on the recording function.
It turned out that Ling Yue knew that Ling Lie would definitely be concerned about Ling Yun's deathmatch. When he was talking to Ling Yun, he secretly recorded the entire conversation with his communicator and played it for Ling Lie to hear.
"Okay."
Ling Lie's expression was solemn. He didn't say anything unnecessary. He just nodded and started listening.
Ling Yue knew that his father had more to say after listening, so he wasn't in a hurry. He sat down and listened with Ling Lie.
About an hour and a half later, the recording finally finished. Ling Lie waited for a while. When he heard that there were no more sounds from the communication device, he raised his hand and pressed the button again to turn off the communication device.
What followed was an indescribable silence.
"That's it?"
Ling Lie asked softly after a full three minutes.
"Yes, Father."
Ling Yue stood up and put the communication device away. Then, he said respectfully, "That's all I talked to Yun Er yesterday."
"Sigh …"
Ling Lie suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. Then, he lowered his head and said, "It's really not easy for Yun Er …"
Ling Yue stood solemnly and didn't interrupt.
After Ling Lie sighed, he pondered for a while before asking worriedly, "Second Brother, say, Yun Er came back for a whole day yesterday and has quite a lot of free time. Why didn't he come to see me?"
Ling Yue glanced at Ling Lie carefully before answering truthfully, "Father, Yun Er chose not to see you because he was worried that you would feel awkward if you saw him."
"Furthermore, it's not just you. From what I know, Yun Er didn't go to see my third brother after meeting his father in the morning."
Ling Yue added.
Ling Lie closed his eyes slightly and nodded. "That means that he didn't see me, Third Brother, or Ling Yong?"
Ling Yue nodded. "That's right."
"Sigh …" Ling Lie let out another long sigh. Then, he said in a low voice, "Speaking of which, I'm the one who let Yun Er down because of Boss. However, I didn't expect to put this child in a difficult position."
Seeing his father like this, Ling Yue's heart couldn't help but ache. However, he still forced a smile and consoled, "Father, don't think that way. You heard what Yun Er said to me just now …"
"This child, Yun 'er, is extremely intelligent and a sensible person. His heart is very clear."
Ling Yue observed Ling Lie's expression and tried to console him.
"Hmph!"
Ling Lie glared. "If that's the case, I'm his grandfather. He didn't come home for so many days and didn't even greet me when he came back. Don't you think that's reasonable?!"
Hearing this, Ling Yue snickered in his heart. He knew that the old man was jealous and wasn't really blaming Ling Yun.
Therefore, he smiled and advised, "Yes, it's not reasonable. However, Father, don't forget that when Yun Er came home this morning, he already saw you and greeted you … Also, after returning home, other than going out in the afternoon, he has been staying in the courtyard the entire time. Didn't you also not go to look for him?"
Hearing this, Ling Lie's expression became a little awkward. He glared at Ling Yue again and said, "Second Brother, which side are you on?! Are you asking for a beating?! "
Hearing this, Ling Yue could only spread his hands helplessly and didn't say anything else.
Ling Lie waited for a long time but didn't hear any movement. Instantly, he said angrily, "Why aren't you saying anything again?! Aren't you the brains of our Ling Family? Come, tell me today, what the hell is going on! "
"Hehe …"
Ling Yue rarely showed such an expression in front of his father. Then, he said, "Father, if you're willing to be reasonable, I'll tell you."
"Hmph!"
Ling Lie was amused by Ling Yue's expression. At this moment, he recalled how Ling Yue was when he was young and couldn't help but scold him. "Hmph, that kid Ling Li has always been mischievous and eloquent. He's just like you when you were young."
"Tell me, help me resolve my problems."
Ling Yue knew that Ling Lie wasn't really looking for him to reason with him. Instead, he was looking for him to chat to relieve his boredom. At the same time, he wanted to understand Ling Yun's movements.
"Father, about my big brother …"
Ling Lie suddenly waved his hand. "In the future, even in front of me, you don't have to call him big brother. Just call him Ling Zhen."
"Yes."
Ling Yue's heart skipped a beat. After nodding his head in agreement, he continued, "Since Ling Zhen's matter has been revealed and you've already made your decision, our whole family should face it calmly.
"And the two most important people in this matter are actually not our Yun Er, but you and my third brother.
"As long as the knot in your hearts is resolved, our Ling Family will immediately return to normal.
"At the end of the day, what happened eighteen years ago was Ling Zhen's fault. Even if we're close relatives, right is right, and wrong is wrong. If you're wrong, you have to pay the price. As for the two of you, you can't use other people's mistakes to punish yourselves.
"You and my third brother, you're sentimental, and my third brother is righteous. However, your personalities are different from our Yun Er's.
"This is the crux of everyone's awkwardness."
Ling Yue finally spoke his mind.
Ling Lie was originally listening quietly. Now that Ling Yue had hit the nail on the head, he suddenly raised his head. "Oh?"
Ling Yue smiled. "This child, Yun 'er, can be said to have the heart of a newborn. Ever since he returned to the Ling Family, he has been completely devoted to our Ling Family. I believe that everyone in the Ling Family can see this, right?"
Ling Lie nodded and smiled. "That's right."
Ling Yue smiled and suddenly changed the topic. "However, it's precisely because Yun Er has the heart of a child that he can't tolerate anything. This is how he treats Ling Hao, and of course, how he treats Ling Zhen!"
At this point, Ling Yue's expression suddenly turned serious. In a seemingly reminding tone, he said, "Father, don't forget that no matter how good Yun Er is, he wasn't raised by our Ling Family."
When Ling Lie heard this, he stood up abruptly and said in a low voice, "Second Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Ling Yue smiled bitterly. He took two steps forward and pushed Ling Lie back to his seat. "Father, look at your temper. Let me finish first."
"Father, what I mean is that even though Yun Er is trying his best to integrate into our Ling Family and is getting along well with most of us, there's one thing that everyone has to admit. Yun Er doesn't have any emotional foundation with the Ling Family.
"At the end of the day, it has only been two months since Yun 'er saved me and saved our Ling Family for the first time until today."
Ling Yue's meaning was clear. Even if they were related by blood, how could a child who had grown up outside for eighteen years suddenly integrate into a new family in a mere two months' time?
Ling Lie listened quietly and didn't speak. He was deep in thought.
"Therefore, the way Yun Er views Ling Hao and Ling Zhen is completely different from how you and Third Brother view them."
Ling Lie frowned and suddenly said, "Second Brother, you mean …"
"What I mean is, for Yun'er to treat our Ling Family like this in just two months, he has done his best!"
"However, that is only for those who are harmless to him. If Yun 'er finds out that someone is trying to harm him, for example, Ling Hao or Ling Zhen, then in Yun' er's eyes, be it Ling Hao or Ling Zhen, they are no different from the Sun and Chen Families!
After saying that, Ling Yue couldn't help but remind him softly, "Father, don't forget that once Yun Er determines who his enemy is, he won't hold back."
As he said that, Ling Yue pouted his lips in the direction of the Ling Family's dungeon, reminding Ling Lie that those who were locked up or dead there were all role models.
Ling Lie nodded repeatedly. "That's true.
"In our eyes, no matter what, Ling Zhen and Ling Hao have familial ties. This is human nature," Li Tianlan said.
"However, to Yun Er, they are his mortal enemies. He has to kill them, but he has to consider our feelings. That's where the awkwardness lies."
Ling Yue said everything he wanted to say in one breath, pointing out the biggest problem of the Ling Family.
"Especially when Ling Hao and Ling Zhen got into trouble one after another. It's only been half a month. Yun Er's heart is aching for you guys. He can ignore others, but he has to consider your feelings as his grandfather and father. What else can an eighteen -year-old child do?"
"Sigh …" Ling Lie sighed again and shook his head. "That's why Yun Er can only choose to escape."
Ling Yue laughed. "Hehe, actually, Father, you and my third brother understand all of this. You just want me to say it for you."
Ling Lie glanced at Ling Yue. "Cheh, stop sucking up to me. Who has as many twists and turns as you do?"
Ling Yue heard Ling Lie's words and knew that Ling Lie's worries had been mostly resolved. Thus, he took the opportunity to say, "Father, Yun Er doesn't have any sand in his eyes. What's more, Yun Er's ability is enough to support him to do this!
"Whether it's towards Sun Chen, the Long Family, the Ye Family, or the Heavenly Team, when has our Yun Er ever bent his knees? When has he ever run away or compromised?
"That's why Yun Er took the initiative to go out for four to five days. This is equivalent to compromising with his bloodline. This is already very difficult for him."
"Father, as a junior, Yun Er can empathize with us. We should consider him more."
Ling Lie stood up abruptly. "That makes sense!"
"Then tell me, what should Third Brother and I do next? We'll do whatever you say! "
Ling Yue smiled. "Father, you and Third Brother don't have to do anything. Just do what you have to do in the past and think of a way to let this matter pass as soon as possible. Don't let this affect the good situation of our Ling Family."
"Before Chen Jingtian died, he exposed Ling Zhen's secret. He wanted our Ling Family to fall into internal strife. We can't let him have his way."
"En, it seems like I'm muddle-headed. I'm not as thorough as Yun Er!"
Ling Lie blamed himself. At the same time, he waved his hand. "Alright, I know what to do. Since Yun Er and the rest are not back yet, you should go to Third Brother's place and explain these principles to him."
