"Alright."
Ling Yun stood up and bade farewell to Ling Xiao. "Then I shall return to my room first."
Under Ling Xiao's comforting gaze, Ling Yun walked out of the ancestral hall and into the courtyard. His figure paused for a moment before disappearing on the spot.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Ling Yun's figure appeared directly in the third courtyard. Without stopping, he walked straight to the door of the house. At the same time, he used his divine will to instantly set up a small Spirit Defense Formation, completely isolating his courtyard from the outside world.
It was not that Ling Yun was treating his family as an outsider, but he had no choice but to set up a formation. He remembered it all too clearly. On the night of his engagement with Cao Shanshan on the 28th of August, the two of them had made too much noise. In the end, because he had forgotten to set up a formation, everyone in the family heard everything clearly. The next day, not only did he make a huge fuss, but he also caused Cao Shanshan to not dare to leave the house for a whole day!
This was a lesson from history that could never be forgotten!
"Ling Yun, you're back!"
The door opened abruptly. Cao Shanshan's beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation. Without waiting for Ling Yun to speak, she plunged into Ling Yun's embrace.
To Cao Shanshan, Ling Yun's return to the Ling Family was not a homecoming. It was just a homecoming. Only when he returned to this courtyard would he truly be back.
Hence, she was like a completely different person compared to when she was in Ling Yue Courtyard.
"Yes, I'm back!"
Ling Yun did not stand on ceremony. He had already opened his arms and hugged her tightly.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
Both of them were very quiet. There were no small movements. They just hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat to comfort themselves from the pain of missing each other for so many days.
"Really, why didn't you tell me that you were coming home? I couldn't even wait for you at home."
After a while, Cao Shanshan struggled out of Ling Yun's embrace and leaned back slightly. She stared at Ling Yun's face and complained.
"Isn't this a surprise for you!"
Ling Yun smiled and explained. Then, he frowned and said, "Cell phones are too troublesome. I'm too lazy to use them."
"I know, I know!" Cao Shanshan smiled knowingly. "You're afraid of delaying your training. But you can't just not use them!"
"What do you use it for?"
Ling Yun smiled proudly. "Huaxia today is thousands of miles away from the south to the north and from the east to the west. If I fly in the air, it will take me at most an hour to get there."
"So, so fast?!"
Cao Shanshan was shocked!
"This is already considered slow."
Ling Yun wasn't bragging. A few days ago, when he rushed from Qingshui City to Miaojiang, it only took him ten minutes to cross more than one thousand four hundred kilometers in Huaxia. That meant that he could fly seven thousand kilometers in fifty minutes.
Furthermore, he had brought Miao Xiao Miao along with him at that time. If it was him alone, he wouldn't even need to fly at full speed to cross ten thousand li in an hour.
"Wow!"
Cao Shanshan recovered from her shock and suddenly clapped her hands as if she had thought of something. "Doesn't that mean that no matter where you are in China during the day, you can always rush back home at night?!"
Ling Yun was stunned. He knew what Cao Shanshan was thinking but he could only laugh bitterly, "What are you thinking? Flying at full speed required the rapid consumption of divine essence to support. Unless one was deliberately cultivating bitterly or had an extremely urgent matter, otherwise who would be willing to waste divine essence like this? Do you really think that my spiritual energy came from the strong wind? "
Of course, this was the truth. Even birds needed to expend energy to fly, let alone humans.
"Uh …"
Cao Shanshan was dumbfounded. She was only thinking about how Ling Yun had the ability to come home every day after gaining such speed. She was so happy that she blurted out such a bold idea, but she forgot that it would come with a huge price.
Ling Yun only needed to explain a little and she understood. There was no need to ask, it was definitely not worth it!
Now that Cao Shanshan had also embarked on the path of cultivation, she knew how difficult it was to condense a drop of God's Yuan Qi. She also knew how difficult it was for Ling Yun to reach his current realm. Thinking about it for a while, she knew that Ling Yun was not trying to fool her.
Thinking about this, Cao Shanshan's face turned red. She lowered her head shyly and said, "I was too impatient."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter the house!"
As Ling Yun said that, he suddenly bent over and carried Cao Shanshan in his arms. He flew into the house and closed the door with his spiritual will. Everything was done in one go!
Cao Shanshan let out a low cry. When she opened her eyes again, Ling Yun had already placed her on the bed.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
Ling Yun looked down at her and laughed, "There are still many things to do tomorrow. Hurry up and sleep."
"Wait!"
Cao Shanshan was instantly anxious. She pushed Ling Yun away and said anxiously, "I still have many important things to tell you!"
"What important things?"
Ling Yun stared at her, "What important things? I've been back for half a day. I've already settled all the important things outside. "
Cao Shanshan rolled her eyes at him and laughed angrily, "What you're doing is your business, not mine."
"Oh? What else do you have? "
Ling Yun's hands and feet slowed down when he heard that. "Tell me about it."
It was a long night. He was not in a hurry anyway.
"Have you arranged everything for Father's birthday tomorrow?"
Cao Shanshan had been living in the Ling Family's ancestral home for a while now. She was already very familiar with the Ling Family. Under Dong Ruolan and the others' guidance, she had already changed the way she addressed Ling Xiao.
Ling Yun laughed, "Of course. Why didn't you think about what I came back for this time? "
After a pause, Ling Yun changed the topic, "But I don't need to arrange anything. Li Junhua from the Li Family is even more meticulous about Father's birthday than the Ling Family. I can guarantee that he will do his best to arrange everything perfectly."
Ling Yun had absolute confidence in this.
"That's for sure." Cao Shanshan could not help but smile, "That Uncle Li has been staying at our house all this time. He has been pestering Father and Uncle every day, afraid that he will not let go of any small matter …"
As she spoke, Cao Shanshan's eyebrows rose slightly. Her beautiful eyes were full of pride. Of course, she knew that the Ling Family's status today was all because of this man in front of her. Yes, her own man.
"Hahahaha …"
Ling Yun could not help but laugh after hearing that. He then teased, "Shanshan, if you said all this to me, then it would be a waste of such a beautiful day."
Then, his expression turned serious, "Let me tell you, after Grandpa and Father go through their tribulation tomorrow night, I will leave the day after tomorrow."
Who knew that Ling Yun's "threat" would fail this time.
"I know you have a lot of things to do now. Do what you need to do, I won't stop you."
Cao Shanshan smiled faintly, then said seriously, "But before I came back, I heard from my grandfather that the guests who will be coming to our house tomorrow, other than those that we can expect, there will be many foreigners coming to congratulate us."
"Foreigners!"
Ling Yun was taken aback. He had never heard of this before, let alone thought of this.
He said in surprise, "My father's birthday has nothing to do with them. Why would they come?"
"Who knows?"
Cao Shanshan's eyes flashed. She was obviously thinking too. She analyzed and said, "My dad said that in the past few days, there have been a few embassies trying to find out about father's birthday through various channels. The only ones he knows are from America, Russia, some countries in the European Union, and even Japan …"
"Ha! Interesting! "
Ling Yun listened with great interest. His eyes flashed as he sat down on the edge of the dragon bed.
At this moment, he didn't think too much about it. After all, they were enemies and not friends. Now that the Ling Family was strong, he really didn't care about these forces.
"I think all of this must have something to do with the Ling Family's current status, but I can't say for sure whether the people coming tomorrow will be friends or enemies."
"It's hard to say if it's other foreigners. After all, we have a death feud with Japan, and we have the five main blood clans as your servants …"
Cao Shanshan didn't say anything more. She just looked at Ling Yun quietly, waiting for him to make a judgment.
Ling Yun knew that Cao Shanshan came from the Cao Family. When she was young, she followed her grandpa, Cao Junxiong, and her parents to many countries. She had seen many things and experienced many big events. Therefore, she wasn't unfamiliar with these things.
"Oh, I understand."
After thinking for a while, Ling Yun nodded lightly. He didn't care and smiled lightly. "You don't have to think too much about it. This is just a small matter."
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes. "It's fine if they don't come tomorrow. If they really come, we'll know if they're friends or foes!"
Ling Yun concluded in his heart. It was actually very simple. If a friend came, there would be good wine. If an enemy came, there would be hunting rifles!
"It's good that you know what you're doing."
Cao Shanshan was completely at ease with Ling Yun. She knew that Ling Yun had made his decision, so she didn't say anything more.
"There's one more thing …"
"Why are there so many things!" Ling Yun was instantly annoyed and threw off his shoes. "No matter what it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning! The sun is going to rise if we continue chatting! "
With a thought, the lights went out.
At this moment, Ling Yun didn't want to hear another word. Now that he had mastered the Yin-Yang harmony balance, he was full of Divine Energy.
In the darkness, Cao Shanshan let out a low moan.
"Have you set up the formation?"
"I've done it a long time ago!"
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
The night passed just like that.
