Ling Lie personally invited Li Guanping in after leading him to the door.
They were from the same generation and were once part of the Seven Great Families of Huaxia. Of course, Ling Lie had to show up personally.
"Amitabha!"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Sovereign!"
Ling Yun turned his head and smiled.
Surprisingly, the people who came were two old acquaintances, Shaolin's Zen Master Jueyuan and Wudang's Taoist Priest Chongxu.
"Oh, what brings you two here?"
Ling Yun immediately greeted him with a smile.
Distant Enlightenment said, "Amitabha. How have you been since the Demon Subduing Assembly?"
"Not bad, not bad."
"Ling Yun, the two of us are here to resolve the case between the pugilistic world and the Ling Family …" Chong Xu said.
He was talking about the Wulin, deliberately omitting the word 'decent'.
"It can't be resolved."
Ling Yun didn't wait for Chong Xu to finish his sentence and interrupted him. "For the sake of the two of you, come and drink as much as you want! If you want to resolve this grudge, forget it! "
Taoist Master Chong Xu was rendered speechless. He felt extremely wronged.
Distant Mind smiled bitterly.
Taoist Master Chong Xu could not help but say, "Ling Yun, during the Demon Subduing Convention, you single-handedly destroyed half of the righteous sects in the martial arts world. Now that your Ling Family is flourishing and is about to conquer Huaxia, why don't you …"
"I don't want to hit anyone today, and I don't want to hit you either …"
On the other side, Ling Yi, Ling Qi, and the rest immediately rushed over upon seeing Ling Yun's unfriendly expression.
From the looks of it, a fight would break out at the slightest disagreement!
Distant Mind: "…"
"…" Chong Xu.
The two of them looked at each other. If they continued, they would start fighting. What was there to say?!
In terms of familiarity, no one was more familiar with Ling Yun's personality than the two of them. Ling Yun didn't want to talk about things that he didn't want to talk about.
And he didn't care about the occasion at all.
"Let's drink, please come in." Ling Yun smiled faintly and made an inviting gesture.
Then, he waved his hand and said, "I'm not drinking, bye bye!"
Taoist Master Chong Xu shrugged and grumbled, "See? I told you I couldn't do it …"
Distant Enlightenment smiled bitterly. "We should at least try, right?"
"Let's go in then?"
"Since I'm already here, I might as well take things as they come …"
Ling Yun pulled a long face and said to Ling Yi, "Bring them in."
Ling Yi took a big step forward, "Two experts, please!"
Distant Enlightenment and Chong Xu took a few steps toward the door. Suddenly, Distant Enlightenment turned his head and said, "Amitabha. Young benefactor, as far as I know, there are a lot of martial artists coming here today. I hope young benefactor can be magnanimous and don't refuse us thousands of miles away."
"Let's see who it is!" Ling Yun waved his hand lightly. "We also have to see if they have eyes!"
This was the most polite reply Ling Yun could give.
Frankly speaking, Ling Yun had no enmity with Wudang. As for Shaolin, Ling Yun had gotten his revenge after killing more than twenty of their Arhats during the Demon Subduing Conference. Moreover, Ling Yun had heard that Shaolin was obviously afraid, so he didn't attack them.
However, Shaolin Temple was Shaolin Temple, and Wudang Temple was Wudang Temple. There was no problem with these two people, but if they still wanted to meddle in other people's business and resolve all the enmity between the Ling Family and the orthodox sects of the martial world, sorry, they were not that shameless!
They had only destroyed half of the ancient martial world of Huaxia. There was still the other half!
Thinking of this, Ling Yun sent a telepathic message to Ling Yi, "There's no need to introduce them to the family. Just bring them to the guest room."
"Rest assured, Master!"
One could imagine Distant Enlightenment and Chong Xu, two outsiders, being surrounded by dozens of beauties in cheongsams, serving tea and water. That was a scene that even Ling Yun couldn't bear to look at.
Distant Enlightenment and Chong Xu entered the Ling Family's residence. After seeing the scene in the guest room, both of them were dumbfounded. However, they were guests, and since the host had arranged it this way, they could only endure it.
Their eyes were focused on their noses, and their noses were focused on their hearts. In short, they were holding it in!
It was quite uncomfortable to hold it in!
"Hahahahaha …"
When Ling Yi returned and saw Ling Yun and Ling Qi, the three of them couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter!
Ling Qi winked and sent a telepathic message, "Master, have we gone too far?"
Ling Yun was very calm. "It's fine. People like them will fall for this. They can't beat me anyway."
Ling Yi: "…"
It was obvious that Zen Master Distant Enlightenment and Taoist Master Chong Xu were just the vanguard. The martial arts sects, ancient martial arts families, hidden aristocratic families — these people from the ancient martial arts world arrived very quickly. It was not one or two, but a large group!
There were dozens of them, and every one of them was a faction leader or an elder. They were all above divine-tier, and they were divided into more than a dozen groups. Although they had deliberately kept a certain distance from each other, it was clear that they had met each other before and had come together.
"Hehe!"
Ling Yun laughed coldly. He could see them from afar with his divine sense.
"At least you guys are sensible …"
None of these ancient martial arts experts carried any weapons. Instead, the people beside the leaders were holding rare treasures in their hands.
Obviously, they weren't here to take the Ling Family down a notch or to cause trouble. They were here to give gifts!
As the saying goes, one doesn't reach out to give gifts. Furthermore, today was a big day for the Ling Family. Ling Yun didn't want to see blood on his father's birthday.
"Those so-called orthodox martial arts experts are here. I don't want to see them. Ling One, Ling Seven, I'll leave this to you two."
Ling Yun turned invisible and escaped when no one was paying attention. At the same time, he said, "Don't stand on ceremony with them. Accept all the gifts, but don't let them in. Arrange for a car to send them to the hotel."
Not letting them in but sending them to the hotel was not out of Ling Yun's kindness. He had to give them a seat to drink after accepting their gifts. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the Ling Family if word got out.
The arrival of this group of ancient martial arts experts would cause chaos at the main gate. Therefore, Ling Yun decided to return to the last courtyard of the Ling Family and wait for the more important people to arrive.
After all, it would only take a flash for him to go out again.
He had divine sense and knew the situation at the main gate like the back of his hand. He could turn invisible, so no one could see him. He could also fly, so it would only take a flash for him to appear at the main gate.
However, Ling Yun definitely wouldn't go to the first three courtyards. He would become a target for everyone if he went.
Ling Yun had already made up his mind. This morning, he would only go to the main gate or the backyard. He wouldn't go anywhere else.
At this time, the last two courtyards of the Ling Family were much more deserted. Other than Ling Yun himself, there was no one else. The noise was almost inaudible.
Ling Yun calmed himself down and showed a trace of worry.
Let's not talk about the outsiders first. Among our own people, those who should have come today were almost all here. Those who should have come the most actually couldn't come.
For example, Miao Xiaomiao, Zhuang Meifeng, Xue Meining, Yao Rou, Qin Dongxue, and even Liang Fengyi …
Ling Yun indeed had foresight on this point. He knew it even earlier than Qing Niao, and his heart was like a mirror.
Only Tang Meng wanted to give Ling Yun a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. He didn't even use his brain to think about it. These girls weren't willing to gather together in Qingshui City, so why would they come to the Ling Family?
Moreover, most of the people here were here for the first time!
If Ling Yun didn't bring them here personally, who would be willing to put down their pride? One had to know that women cared about their pride the most!
It was one thing for them to be willing to follow Ling Yun, but it was another thing for them to come to the Ling Family!
Furthermore, the Ling family still had a legitimate Cao Shanshan.
To put it bluntly, the fact that Cao Shanshan had taken the lead made all the women around Ling Yun jealous and resentful!
But what could they do? Back then, the Ling Family relied on their own strength to fight against the Sun and Chen Families. When the battle was decided, they were isolated and helpless. Only the Cao Family stood out. Moreover, they had a grand marriage alliance with Cao Junxiong's personal invitation …
In the end, how much help they would be able to provide was a matter of attitude.
Moreover, no matter how weak the Cao Family was in the past, they were still stronger than the Ling Family without Ling Yun. Both families were part of the seven big families in Huaxia. Cao Shanshan and Ling Yun were a perfect match!
If it was someone else, who would have such a family background?
Miao Xiao Miao? Miracle Doctor Xue and Miao Fenghuang combined could barely make it. However, Miao Xiao Miao was the one who didn't want Ling Yun the most!
Ling Yun had thought of this a long time ago. That was why he decided to cut it in one go. If anyone really came, he would grit his teeth and accept it. If not, he would explain later. It was better than creating a mess.
Therefore, Ling Yun wasn't too worried about these people not coming.
However, Ling Yun was worried about the two people who should have come the most.
Ning Lingyu.
Ye Xingchen.
In the past, if Ning Lingyu knew that Ling Xiao was celebrating his birthday, she would definitely put down everything and rush over early.
But now? There had been no news of Ning Lingyu after she sent his father's coffin to the Ning Family in Kunlun Mountain. Ling Yun didn't even know if she was still in the Ning Family!
As for Ye Xingchen, she'd completely sunk into the ocean after parting ways at the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect and returned to the Devil Sect to see Yin Qingxuan.
Ling Yun didn't even need to think about it. Ye Xingchen definitely knew about his father's birthday because he knew that his mother, Yin Qingxuan, definitely wouldn't forget it.
So why hadn't Ye Xingchen appeared on such an important day?
Sigh … It's fine if both of them don't come. It'll be hard to clean up the mess if they start fighting for no reason …
Ling Yun could only comfort himself this way. "It's fine as long as nothing happens!"
Of course, there was also Bai Xianer.
However, Ling Yun wasn't worried about her at all. Bai Xianer was limited by her status and couldn't even get close to Beijing. Ling Yun would stop her even if she wanted to come.
"Yun Er, what are you thinking about?"
Wen Sheng remembered that it was Green Bird who had appeared beside Ling Yun.
Of course, she had nothing to do today and was the first to arrive. After meeting Ling Xiao and the others, she returned to her original residence in the backyard. Seeing Ling Yun in a daze, she naturally came over to show her concern.
Ling Yun naturally wouldn't hide it from Green Bird. "Aunt Qing, I miss Xingchen. It's almost ten, and I haven't received any messages from her."
"I guessed so." Green Bird smiled.
