Ling Yun had purposely picked a time to eat. Of course, he could not eat outside with his father while Dong Ruolan was busy.
Of course, as a family habit, Ling Xue could do it, but Ling Yun could not. Just like he said, that was outrageous.
"If that's the case … Alright then, let's wait for Aunt Dong to finish cooking and eat together."
Ling Xiao paused again when he saw that Ling Yun insisted on waiting for Dong Ruolan to come out to eat together. After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement.
At the same time, he also realized that Ling Yun's visit this time was far more important than he had expected.
"Hey, you two can just eat. Don't wait for me, the food will get cold soon."
Dong Ruolan heard everything clearly in the kitchen. Her heart warmed up when she heard Ling Yun's words, and she immediately shouted for them to eat first.
A person's heart was revealed in the subtleties.
Ling Yun's respect for Dong Ruolan was enough to touch her heart.
"Aunt Dong, there's no hurry to eat. I'll accompany Father and wait for you. There's no need to cook too much, lest there are leftovers."
Ling Yun was very relaxed now.
He had already entered this door. Since he was here, he would treat this place as his home. It was his father's house, so it was not a problem for him to stay here. Why would he still treat him like an outsider?
Moreover, this was the problem he was here to solve. Of course, it was not to stay here, but to come and eat whenever he wanted.
No awkwardness, no scruples, and he could come and eat whenever he wanted.
This was how a family should be.
After Ling Yun shouted at Dong Ruolan, he looked at Ling Xiao across the steaming hot food, smelling the aroma of the food.
The father and son looked at each other in silence.
Finally, it was Ling Xiao who broke the silence. "Yun Er, it's just the two of us today. Just say what you want to say, there's no need to think too much."
"Yes."
Ling Yun nodded and said directly, "I've always thought that Father's inner demon was Si Kongtu, so I captured him so that you could kill him with your own hands."
Ling Xiao was shocked!
Ling Yun's straightforwardness was a little too ruthless. He didn't give Ling Xiao any time to prepare himself mentally.
"But now I know that Sikong Tu is only one of Father's inner demons. Your real inner demon is your big brother, Ling Zhen!"
Ling Xiao lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. Then, his eyes turned red.
From the way Ling Yun addressed Ling Zhen, it was obvious that Ling Yun no longer considered Ling Zhen as his uncle. However, he still called Ling Xiao "your big brother, Ling Zhen." Such a sharp stab really hurt Ling Xiao's heart.
Even though he had buried this painful secret in his heart for eighteen years and had secretly digested it for eighteen years, even though he had been struggling in his heart for six days after Chen Jingtian revealed this secret!
"Father, you're kind and generous, you're righteous, and you value your brotherhood … I admire you for all these things."
"But even so, we can't use other people's mistakes to punish ourselves!"
Ling Yun's face was solemn. He pointed out Ling Xiao's hesitation and struggle in the face of the tragedy.
This was the crux of the problem. It was very simple. Ling Yun's short words could be said to have hit the nail on the head.
They couldn't use other people's mistakes to punish themselves.
No matter how close their brotherhood was, it wasn't themselves, it was still others.
After Ling Yun finished his sentence, he stared at the silent Ling Xiao and didn't say another word.
Ling Xiao's eyes were red. He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his palms. His palms had long been pierced, but he did not feel the pain. His body began to tremble.
Ling Yun's voice was not low. Dong Ruolan, who was in the kitchen, heard it clearly. Her hands stopped moving and she quietly listened to what Ling Xiao had to say.
They had lived together for eighteen years. Even though Ling Xiao had never told her about the pain he had suffered, how could she not feel it?
In the living room, father and son sat facing each other. Ling Xiao's eighteen years of scar was mercilessly torn open by his own son. That kind of bloody pain was difficult to describe with words.
Ling Yun and Dong Ruolan were waiting. The whole room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
"Sigh …"
Ling Xiao finally let out a long sigh. After a deep sigh, his trembling body gradually calmed down. His clenched fists were loosened, but there were traces of blood flowing from his palms.
"Yun Er, it's all my fault. I've let you and your mother down."
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Yun again. His face was full of guilt as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Is that so? I don't think so. I don't think you've let anyone down! Look at the sky and look at the ground. You're the biggest victim of everything that happened eighteen years ago! "
Ling Yun did not let Ling Xiao continue. He directly interrupted Ling Xiao's words and calmly stated his point of view.
Although he was calm, Ling Yun's words were very serious and serious.
This was because he felt that Ling Xiao's way of thinking was wrong. In fact, it was completely the opposite.
Whenever he encountered something, he would first think that he had let others down. To Ling Yun, this way of thinking was too stupid.
If you were kind, others would think that you were easy to bully. If you were righteous, others would want to teach you a lesson. If you cherished your brotherhood, others would want to trample you into the abyss so that you would never be able to rise again!
Not even biological brothers!
If it was Ling Yun, not to mention biological brothers, no one would be able to do it!
"What's wrong with you and Mother being in love with each other? What's wrong with you and Mother having me? In order to become the head of the Ling Family, Ling Zhen did not hesitate to harm you. He did not care about the entire Ling Family and exposed this matter. What's wrong with you?
"In order to protect our Ling Family, you were forced to cripple your own martial arts. Not only did you swear a heavy oath to separate from Mother, you also married Aunt Dong. What's wrong with that?
"When Mother gave birth to me, she knew that the Devil Sect would not let me live. Hence, she did everything she could to get Aunt Green Bird to send me out of the Devil Sect. What's wrong with that?
"Since you've done nothing wrong, what's there to be sorry about?"
Ling Yun's tone was sonorous and forceful. Every word was like a huge hammer smashing into Ling Xiao's ears and heart.
This was Ling Yun's logic.
As the saying goes, one's personality determined one's fate. In Ling Yun's eyes, those things were all the fault of others. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to kill his enemies and take revenge. However, Ling Xiao wanted to take everything on himself.
How could he not be in pain?
"You want to be a saint."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "But I can tell you right now that Mother and I will not agree to it. Even if Mother agreed to it, I wouldn't agree to it."
"No one is perfect."
"The most important thing for a person to be alive is to be happy, not sad." Ling Yun added another stab to his words.
"Ling Yun, you … How can you talk to your father like that? If you have something to say … you should talk about it … "
Unknowingly, Dong Ruolan had already walked out of the kitchen. She saw that Ling Yun's words were like knives stabbing into Ling Xiao's heart. Her heart ached and she could not care less.
"Aunt Dong, without destruction, there can be no construction. My father has been in pain for eighteen years. Isn't that enough? Today, as his son, I have offended him. Consider it unfilial for once. "
Ling Yun turned around and said to the anxious Dong Ruolan.
Dong Ruolan was speechless.
Even though Ling Yun's words were harsh, they were all right! This was the most normal way of thinking for an ordinary person.
"No one is perfect. Without destruction, there can be no construction. Without destruction, there can be no construction …"
Ling Xiao muttered to himself. Suddenly, he felt the blood in his body churning. The blood from his heart quickly rushed to his throat. He felt a sweetness in his throat and immediately turned his head!
"Pfft!"
A large mouthful of purplish black blood sprayed onto the ground!
"Ah!"
Dong Ruolan was greatly alarmed. When she saw Ling Xiao vomiting blood, she immediately disregarded everything and rushed forward. She arrived behind Ling Xiao and gently patted his back.
"Big Brother Xiao, are you alright? Don't be angry. Even though Ling Yun's words were harsh, it was for your own good … "
Then, she turned her head and gave Ling Yun a look. It seemed like she wanted Ling Yun to apologize to his father.
However, Ling Yun's face was full of smiles and a happy expression.
Ling Xiao had endured humiliation for eighteen years, and this was the blood that had accumulated in his heart. Spitting out this mouthful of blood meant that the demons in Ling Xiao's heart were all gone.
"Ling Yun, you …"
Dong Ruolan was an ordinary person and naturally did not understand these things. She only saw Ling Xiao vomit blood and thought that it was because Ling Yun angered him. Therefore, when she saw Ling Yun's expression, her face turned ugly.
"I'm fine."
Ling Xiao had completely relaxed at this moment. He stared at the purplish black blood for a long time before he suddenly turned around and waved his hand.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and explained to Dong Ruolan, "Yun Er's words just now weren't to anger me, but to help me get rid of the demons in my heart."
"Ah!"
Dong Ruolan exclaimed. She felt a little embarrassed, knowing that she had wronged Ling Yun.
However, Ling Yun only winked at her and chuckled.
Ling Yun was very touched by Aunty Dong's sincere and deep feelings for his father.
"Father, look at Aunty Dong. In order to protect you, she would disregard everything and blame me, even if I was your biological son. This is the right way to deal with things! "
With the counterexample right in front of him, Ling Yun half-jokingly used it.
"Aiya …" Dong Ruolan's face instantly turned red.
"Hehe, you rascal, are you done yet?"
After Ling Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood, he felt his entire body relax. His blood flow was unimpeded, and his spirit was completely different. His speech was also much more relaxed.
Ling Yun chuckled and took out two Healing Talismans. He handed them to Ling Xiao, whose hands were still bleeding.
Ling Xiao hesitated. "Isn't it a waste? This kind of wound doesn't even need to be bandaged, just apply some medicine and it'll be fine. "
"Just use it. Don't make Aunty Dong's heart ache, I have plenty here."
Ling Yun's expression was relaxed as he teased.
"You rascal …"
Dong Ruolan couldn't stay there any longer after being teased by Ling Yun. She wanted to escape to the kitchen immediately, but she hesitated when she saw the blood on the ground.
"Aunty Dong, you go ahead, I'll take care of this."
Ling Yun immediately stood up and went to clean up the blood on the ground. He no longer looked like he had been provoking Ling Xiao.
Now that Ling Xiao's demons were gone, the days of the Ling Family on the right track had begun.
With that thought in mind, Ling Yun used his supernatural power and quickly cleaned up the clotted blood. (To be continued.)
