Due to the limited time, Ling Yun really didn't have the time to sit down and have a long talk with his family. He could only choose what he thought was necessary and also the most important. He gave a short summary so that his family would have a clear idea of what was going on and at the same time, give them a sense of security, and that would be enough.
Otherwise, if Ling Yun's experiences after he left the capital were to be described in detail, he wouldn't be able to do anything else that night. He wouldn't even be able to finish his story.
Fortunately, communication was advanced enough now. The Ling Family was able to fully understand the general process and results of Ling Yun's experiences through various channels. Therefore, even though the Ling Family was shocked and curious about Ling Yun's shocking deeds, they wouldn't insist on getting to the bottom of it.
Moreover, there were priorities. Everyone in the Ling Family knew very well why Ling Yun suddenly returned to the Ling Family. Naturally, they wouldn't drag him along to ask about things that had already been decided and waste his time and energy.
Ling Lie and Cui Lao, of course, wouldn't. To them, Ling Yun returning home safe and sound was the greatest comfort.
Ling Yun's speed was too fast, and the Ling Family was full of energy to catch up to him. Everyone was fighting to be the first, afraid that they would be left behind, ignored, and abandoned. They really didn't have the mood and energy to ask about things that had nothing to do with them.
This was the driving effect of a true expert.
Therefore, Ling Yun accompanied Ling Lie for a drink and did what he thought was the most important thing before leaving. Ling Yue was still waiting for him in the front yard.
"Zhongwu, I'm afraid that even you have forgotten what you looked like when you were young, right?"
After Ling Yun left, Ling Lie stared at Cui Zhongwu's youthful face for more than a minute, reminiscing about the past.
Ling Lie really wanted to call him Cui Lao again, but Cui Lao looked as young as Ling Xiao. How could he still call him "Lao"?
"Young Master is really a god, really a god!"
Cui Lao still felt as though he was in a dream as he muttered to himself. Over and over again, he could only mutter this sentence.
After the training with the Ling Family's 36 Men of Sacrifice, it had been some time since he returned to the Ling Family. Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, and Ling Yue all looked twenty years younger. Cui Lao had already seen it with his own eyes and was shocked. It was one thing to see it with his own eyes, but it was another to experience it personally!
It was like seeing someone injured and bleeding. You knew that they must be in pain, but you only knew that you didn't feel any pain at all.
Furthermore, the elixirs he had just consumed were of a higher grade, and their effects were far more heaven-defying than the superior-grade elixirs the Ling Family members had consumed. Naturally, the shock he received was even more intense.
Ling Lie smiled, picked up the bowl, and finished the rest of the wine in one gulp. He stood up and said, "Come, follow me into the house. Look at yourself in the mirror and see if you're satisfied with your current appearance!"
Thump!
Just as Ling Lie turned around, he heard a thump behind him. Cui Lao once again knelt on the ground with his forehead on the ground. He kowtowed to Ling Lie, making loud banging sounds.
"This old servant is terrified. This old servant knows his mistake, this old servant knows his mistake!"
Cui Zhongwu was filled with regret. It was because of his stupidity that he was the first to consume the better elixirs refined by Ling Yun and ranked ahead of the rest of the Ling Family. This made him unable to get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Zhongwu, get up."
Ling Lie smiled helplessly. He could only turn around and help Cui Zhongwu up from the ground. After pondering for a while, he said seriously, "Old friend, don't call me this old servant in the future. Our Ling Family has changed."
"You've seen it too. As long as it's something arranged by Yun Er, we don't have to speculate about it. That would only add to his troubles because his improvement is too fast. It's so fast that we can't even imagine it. Therefore, we can only try our best to catch up and listen to him. This way, he won't have to waste his energy and time on such trivial matters. What do you think? "
"Yes, yes, yes. This old servant was muddle-headed. I actually didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I even made plans for the Young Master … Who knew that I was just blindly thinking about it …"
Cui Lao's face was full of guilt as he blamed himself.
Ling Lie laughed heartily and patted Cui Lao's shoulder. He consoled him. "This isn't your fault. Actually, our Ling Family has been poor for too long. We've all endured the toughest days. You're also my old butler. It's normal for you to be scheming when you've suddenly become rich.
"Furthermore, you're ultimately doing this for our Ling Family."
Ling Lie's personality was straightforward and forthright, but he was definitely not stupid. A person would rather give up twenty years of his youth in exchange for more resources and benefits for the Ling Family. How many people in this world would be willing to sacrifice themselves like that?
"Therefore, you're worthy of this elixir. You've eaten it, but you don't have to take it to heart. Otherwise, you'll be tainted by the demons in your heart and ruin your cultivation.
"With Yun 'er around, the bitterness of our Ling Family is finally over. The bitter days of us brothers have finally come to an end. From now on, you can accompany me to cultivate peacefully and enjoy life. When you're free, help me train Ling Yi, Ling Qi and the rest!"
Ling Lie's words could be said to be sincere.
"Yes!"
Cui Lao was so touched that he wiped his tears and nodded his head vigorously.
"Come, follow me into the house."
There was no need to say anything else. Ling Lie knew when to stop and brought Cui Lao into the living room.
…
"The older one gets, the wiser one really gets …" Ling Yun shook his head as he walked.
Ling Yun shook his head as he walked. The corners of his mouth curled up as he thought to himself that the old man's words just now were too much. It was just the right thing to say.
It was the way to manage people. No matter what, Cui Lao's surname wasn't Ling. Ling Yun had just given him a rare benefit. If Ling Lie didn't say anything now, he would be the head of the Ling Family for nothing.
After leaving Ling Lie's courtyard, Ling Yun didn't fly directly to the front courtyard. Instead, he passed through the doors and walked through the courtyards one by one.
Ling Yi and Ling Qi had already brought the Ling Family's men of sacrifice out to monitor, or rather, to take care of, the seventy-two disciples. Therefore, the seventh and eighth courtyards were deserted and empty.
"Big Brother."
Ling Yun quickly arrived at the sixth courtyard of the Ling Family and greeted Ling Yong, who was meditating under the Ghost Divine Willow.
Ling Yong had sensed it long ago. He opened his eyes and smiled at Ling Yun. "Third Brother, you don't have to worry about me. We'll talk later. "
"Alright! I'll go over then. "
After their heart-to-heart talk previously, Ling Yun and Ling Yong were already of one mind. There was no need for any unnecessary words between them.
"Flap, flap!"
"Caw, caw!"
The Golden Striped Crow that was perched on the branch of the Ghost Divine Willow flew up again. It swooped down towards Ling Yun and flapped its wings in the air. Its golden eyes shone with a strange golden light in the darkness as it looked at Ling Yun pitifully.
This fellow was greedy!
Ling Yun was delighted. The Golden Striped Crow had flown to the front courtyard but was chased away by him. Now that it was thinking about Ling Yun's pure Yang Qi, its eyes were filled with anxiety and impatience.
"Here you go!"
Ling Yun casually shot out a ray of pure Yang Qi, which gathered into a ball of light the size of a lead ball. The white light shone brightly, making the surroundings as bright as day.
The Golden-Striped Crow suddenly opened its beak and sucked the ball of pure sunlight into its mouth. It hurriedly swallowed it, then flapped its wings twice in joy and flew back to its nest on the tree branch in satisfaction.
After feeding the Golden Striped Crow, Ling Yun didn't stay any longer. He bade farewell to Ling Yong and disappeared.
"Whoosh!"
This time, Ling Yun appeared directly in Ling Yue's courtyard.
"Uncle!"
"Come and sit."
Ling Yue stood up from the bamboo chair and greeted Ling Yun with a smile. "Your father didn't want to disturb our conversation, so he went back just now."
"Mmm."
Ling Yun didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the chair that Ling Xiao was sitting on. Then, he used his divine will to take out the spirit tea that he brought back from Miaojiang. There was a full five liters of it.
"Uncle, this is my gift to you. Let's try it later."
