Ling Yun wasn't worried at all when he didn't see Cao Shanshan. After all, he had suddenly changed his schedule and Cao Shanshan didn't know about it. Perhaps she was attending classes at Yanjing University, or perhaps she was staying at the Cao Family.
"Uncle."
Ling Yun went forward to greet Ling Yue.
"Hmm."
Ling Yue looked at Ling Yun and nodded with a smile. He was calmer than anyone else when he saw Ling Yun. "How many days are you staying at home?"
Ling Yun knew that he had been betrayed by Tang Meng the moment he saw Ling Yue's expression. "I came back at the last minute. I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Ling Yue nodded again before saying, "Let's have dinner first. After dinner, you can do whatever you need to do. We'll talk again when you're done."
It had to be said that every time he interacted with Ling Yue, Ling Yun's mood would be exceptionally good. There was no awkwardness, and there was no need for him to find something to talk about. This was because Ling Yue was very particular about the occasion and would never say anything useless. He would always think about others.
Ling Yun even believed that if he wasn't the head of the Ling Family, Ling Yue wouldn't have come out even if he had heard the commotion. He would only look for Ling Yun after he was done with his work.
Other than his uncle, Ling Yue, there was another person who could give Ling Yun such a comfortable feeling. It was Qin Chunfeng from the Qin Family.
"Alright."
After a simple but cordial exchange of a few words, Ling Yun agreed without hesitation.
"Disperse, disperse, disperse."
Ling Yue took the initiative to help Ling Yun out. "Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, Ling Li, and Xue Er, don't make a fuss the moment Ling Yun comes back. Wait until he's done with his work before you listen to his stories. How can you behave like this?"
Ling Yue's face darkened as he waved his hand to chase them away. Of course, he didn't dare to touch Grandpa Ling Lie. He could only chase these juniors away first.
This worked.
Right now, Ling Lie was the only elder in the Ling Family. He was a symbol of the Ling Family. Ling Lie would rarely appear in the outside world unless there were people of the same age or seniority. At home, Ling Lie was only focused on his cultivation. He rarely interfered with the affairs of the family.
Grandpa Ling finally understood something. As long as nothing happened to Ling Yun, nothing would happen to the Ling Family.
Because Ling Xiao was Ling Yun's father and his current realm was close to Ling Lie's, his position in the Ling Family was absolutely revered. One word from him was equivalent to ten thousand words from others!
However, the problem was that Ling Xiao had never asked about anything related to the family. He had even made it clear to the family that he would only be responsible for the Ling Family Martial Arts Academy and the Ling Yun Family's outer residence.
Because of this, Ling Xiao rarely asked about the situation of the Ling Family's men of sacrifice. He left this matter entirely to Cui Lao.
Therefore, even though Ling Xiao was in the Ling Family, he only stayed at home for the night. The feeling that he gave everyone in the Ling Family was that he was like a dragon whose head and tail could not be seen.
Just like what Ling Yun had predicted, the entire Ling Family, be it inside or outside, big or small, all fell on Ling Yue's shoulders.
The current situation in the Ling Family could no longer be described as thriving. It was like a nuclear explosion. The light was dazzling, and at the same time, the shockwave swept across the surroundings!
Ling Yue had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He was in charge of the central command and strategizing. Even though he was known as the brain of the Ling Family and had the ability of Zhuge Liang, he had no choice but to worry. His nerves were stretched taut every day, and he didn't even have time to cultivate.
Therefore, Ling Yue was desperate for talents!
Dong Shanchuan, Tang Meng, Zhuang Meifeng … As long as they were talents, Ling Yue would try his best to let them do their best for the Ling Family.
However, with the speed at which Ling Yun built his empire, it was far from enough to rely on just these few people!
Therefore, the current Ling Yue was actually gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.
He had no choice. The true core of the Ling Family was actually Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, Ling Yun, and him. The other three were very straightforward. If he didn't do it, who would?
However, even though he was tired, Ling Yue still enjoyed it. He enjoyed the feeling of being busy day and night and being in charge of the overall situation. At the same time, this was also his interest and ambition.
After all, no matter how big a clan was, it was still just a clan. It was far from the size of a city, a province, or a country. If he couldn't even manage a clan that was developing at an explosive rate, then everything he had learned in the past would become a joke.
Ling Yun was fighting for a piece of the empire outside. Now that he had returned, he had to think of a way to protect it. Furthermore, he had to do his best to expand it.
Of course, he couldn't do things for free. There were benefits to doing things.
Ling Yue had real power!
That was definitely true for the outside world. As for the inside … In the past few decades, Ling Yue had never been as important, irreplaceable, and dazzling in the Ling Family!
This real power was given to him by Ling Yun. It was also determined by his position and the things he did. Now, other than Ling Yun's own matters, all the other important matters of the Ling Family couldn't be bypassed by him.
Therefore, Ling Yue gradually gained an aura called "majesty". It wasn't because of his age or seniority in the Ling Family, but because of his real power.
When he spoke in front of everyone, even the two princesses of the Ling Family, Ling Xiu and Ling Xue, had to listen obediently, not to mention Ling Feng and Ling Li.
Ling Yun, Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, Cui Lao, and the rest were naturally happy.
Hence, the juniors of the Ling Family, with Ling Xiu as their representative, immediately dispersed after greeting Ling Yun. Each of them went back to their own matters.
Ling Lie glared at his second son. "Second Brother, I miss my grandson. I have to drink with Yun Er!"
"Father, I chased those little fellows away so that you can chat with Yun Er alone!"
Ling Yue said with a smile.
"Hurry up and get the kitchen to prepare food. Send it to my backyard!"
Ling Lie instructed and dragged Ling Yun away. At the same time, he said to Cui Lao, "Old Cui, come with us."
The three of them left quickly.
"Third Brother, we haven't had a good chat for five to six days. Why don't you come to my house?"
Ling Yue didn't follow them. Instead, he took the initiative to invite Ling Xiao.
"Okay."
Ling Xiao nodded in agreement, and the two brothers left just like that.
Instantly, there were less than thirty Ling Family's men of sacrifice left in the front yard.
The air here suddenly became quiet and stagnant!
This was because Ling Ba and Ling Jiu were glaring angrily at Ling Yi and Ling Qi in front of them. They were gritting their teeth, and their eyeballs were about to pop out!
"Great, Big Brother, Old Seven! You guys are really something! "
"I was wondering why the two of you were so kind today to help us guard the door. It turns out that you already knew that the family head was coming back!"
Ling Ba and Ling Jiu took turns to talk about how they were tricked earlier.
"This, cough cough …"
Ling Yi was very embarrassed. He glanced at Ling Qi, wanting him to explain.
"Beat them up!"
There was no need for them to explain. Ling Ba and Ling Jiu roared, and more than twenty brothers rushed forward and drowned the two of them!
