"The Ling Family's situation … Who would have thought of this two months ago?"
Eleven o 'clock in the morning.
An average-looking old man of average build came to the entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home. He stopped in his tracks, his heart full of emotions.
This old man looked to be in his fifties, the kind that would be hard to spot in a crowd. However, his identity was by no means ordinary.
The First Elder of the Heavenly Team, Zhou Wenyi!
Coincidentally, the Ling family's loyalists, Ling One, Ling Seven, and Ling Jiu, were at the entrance. They were stunned when they saw Zhou Wenyi.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ling Yun had brought Tie Xiaohu and Mo Wudao to report to the Heavenly Team for the first time. Not only did they get six spots, but the three of them had also been promoted to become the First Elder of the Heavenly Team.
The other three spots were filled by Ling Yun so that he could get three more shares of the Heavenly Team's salary and benefits.
The three names that Ling Yun filled in were Ling One, Ling Seven, and Ling Jiu.
However, this only lasted until that day. Until now, these three fellows had not reported to the Heavenly Team!
Ling Yun did mention it when he returned home that day, but he did not care about it. After that, Zhou Wenyi did not specifically call for them to report to the Heavenly Team. After a delay, they disappeared.
However, the Ling family loyalists knew the First Elder of the Heavenly Team, Zhou Wenyi.
After the intensive training of the Assassins Organization, the Ling family's thirty-six loyalists could already use all kinds of modern high-tech equipment. This made their methods of doing things even better, and their efficiency was astonishing. Everyone's soft power was far better than before.
It was on this basis that the Ling family rebuilt their files.
In the information age, information was king.
The Ling family's new files were rich in information, detailed in content, and accurate in information. They were no longer inferior to the Dragon and Ye families.
Of course, this was top secret, and the Ling family had only just started on this matter. There was still a long way to go, but this was definitely the way to go.
That was because a giant creature with well-developed limbs but was deaf and blind was pointless.
In the Ling family's new files, such an important force like the Heavenly Team was naturally the most important.
Therefore, even if they had not met Zhou Wenyi before, even if Zhou Wenyi had become twenty years younger after taking the Youth Retaining Pill, Ling One and the others still recognized him the moment he appeared.
However, how should they address him?
Senior? First Elder? Boss? Or a leader?
While the three of them were in a daze, Zhou Wenyi glanced at them without batting an eyelid. He was secretly satisfied, but at the same time, shocked.
Ling Yun wasn't bragging. Even the people he pulled in to make up the numbers were far better than the cultivation geniuses from other families. These people would become the new strength of the Heavenly Team in less than a year!
"Hey, did the three of you become stupid? Your immediate superior is here, why aren't you welcoming him? "
Ling Yun appeared directly in front of Zhou Wenyi.
His face was full of smiles. "Old Zhou, long time no see. I thought you wouldn't come."
"Why wouldn't I come? You're one of the three Great Elders in our Heaven Squad. If you even think about it a little, even the roof beams of our Heaven Squad will sway … "
Seeing Ling Yun, Zhou Wenyi's smile gradually widened, and he almost couldn't close his mouth.
He was so happy!
However, he immediately frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction with the way Ling Yun had appeared.
He said helplessly, "Ling Yun, you're one of the Great Elders of our Heaven Squad. It's best to abide by some of our established rules. You appearing out of thin air like this is simply too shocking. "
Zhou Wenyi was referring to the rule that cultivators couldn't display their martial arts in front of ordinary people.
"Understood."
Ling Yun didn't care at all. He said indifferently, "It's just that I don't use it if I have the ability. It's invalid after the time limit! Moreover, with my speed, they'll only think that they're seeing things. They won't think too much. "
Zhou Wenyi: "…"
You're in the right! He really didn't know what to do with Ling Yun.
"Greetings, Great Elder!"
Fortunately, Ling Yi and the other two came over at this time. Their movements were uniform as they cupped their fists and bowed to Zhou Wenyi.
"No need for formalities. You guys can go do what you need to do."
Zhou Wenyi nodded slightly as a return greeting. It was more important for the three of them to get down to business.
He wasn't someone who liked to put on airs. Moreover, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it in front of Ling Yun.
Ling Yun's eyes slanted. "Old Zhou, how is it?"
Zhou Wenyi asked, "What do you mean how is it?"
"The three people I brought over to make up the numbers aren't any worse than those bullsh * t geniuses from your Heavenly Team who only know how to take up free pay, right?"
Zhou Wenyi patted Ling Yun's shoulder solemnly. "Although what you said is the truth, you don't have to scold yourself like that."
Ling Yun: "…"
"My merit points have far exceeded a hundred million now. It's more than yours!"
"You'll only know how to take up free pay."
"According to the rules of the Heavenly Team, I'm the real chief."
"You'll only know how to take up free pay."
"Be careful that I take the lead and make you a mere figurehead!"
"You'll only know how to take up free pay."
Ling Yun was speechless. However, he didn't have any good ideas. Who asked Zhou Wenyi to be an important guest today?
He could only say awkwardly, "Old Zhou, can we change the term?"
"You're a dog in the manger …"
Ling Yun couldn't take it anymore. "You're not even giving me missions. Are you blaming me?"
"Even if I want to give you missions, I have to be able to find you first!"
"Alright, then I'll try to find you more often in the future to have tea and chat. That should be fine, right?"
Zhou Wenyi revealed a satisfied look. He had achieved his goal, and he could finally stop holding on to Ling Yun's words.
"After these few days, let these three fellows report to me and complete the necessary procedures. Even if they're taking up free pay, they can't be so unruly. Otherwise, I won't be able to do my job well."
"Got it."
Ling Yun nodded and asked, "Do you want to come over to my house?"
"Of course. I have to accompany your grandfather for a few drinks today … "
Zhou Wenyi wouldn't show himself easily, but once he did, he didn't have to worry about others talking behind his back.
"Hahahahaha …"
At this moment, Ling Lie's laughter could be heard. He had brought Ling Xiao and Ling Yue out personally to welcome them.
They didn't know how to turn invisible, and it was even more impossible for them to fly out of the house like Ling Yun. They walked out slowly, so they were a step late.
"Mr. Zhou's personal visit really brings light to the Ling Family. Ling Lie, please forgive me for my tardiness."
Seeing Ling Lie and the others come out, Zhou Wenyi immediately put on a solemn expression. He took a few steps forward and cupped his hands at Ling Lie. "I heard that the Ling Family is holding a big banquet today, so I came uninvited to ask for a glass of wine. Old Master, we're about the same age, so I can't afford to be called Mister. Just call me Wenyi from now on. "
That was status!
Zhou Wenyi was still the original Zhou Wenyi, still the Great Elder of the Heavenly Group, an amazing person who could summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.
However, the Ling Family was no longer the Ling Family of the past!
In the whole of Huaxia, who would dare to call Zhou Wenyi Wenyi in front of him?
Ling Lie could.
Of course, Ling Yun still addressed him as Old Zhou. He was a different story altogether.
"How can one glass of wine be enough? At least three jars! Come, let's talk at home. "
Ling Lie came over and grabbed Zhou Wenyi's wrist, wanting to invite him into the house.
Ling Xiao and Ling Yue could only smile bitterly. The old master was too direct. They didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
However, just as Ling Lie took a step forward, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look towards the east.
At the same time, Ling Xiao, Ling Yue, Ling Yun, and the others also turned their heads to the east.
Two black cars came slowly from the east.
In the first car sat Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingxin. The car behind naturally belonged to Ye Tianshui and Ye Tiandu.
The Ye Family was here!
"Heh, one of the main characters today is here!"
Ling Yun smirked. He had met Ye Qingxin, Ye Tianshui, and Ye Tiandu. As for Ye Qingfeng, he was naturally included in the Ling Family's new files.
"Uh, old friend, looks like we'll have to go in for tea later."
Ling Lie let go of Zhou Wenyi's hand.
"There's no rush."
Zhou Wenyi smiled. His realm was higher than Ling Lie's. Even though Ling Lie had restrained himself, he could still feel the other party's excitement!
Ling Lie only knew the first two of the four from the Ye Family. However, Ye Tianshui and Ye Tiandu couldn't be identified because he hadn't met them before.
Ling Lie and Ling Xiao were even more so.
However, Ling Yue only knew three of them. He had never seen Ye Tiandu before.
This was the first time the Ye Family paid a formal visit to the Ling Family in eighteen years! It was also the first time the head of the Ye Family visited the Ling Family!
The car stopped.
Ling Lie was about to step forward when he heard Ling Yun's telepathic message. "Grandpa, don't move. I'll handle everything."
Ling Lie didn't move. Ling Xiao and Ling Yue naturally wouldn't move either.
At the entrance of the Ling Family, Ling Yun stood at the front with his hands in his pockets, waiting for the people in the car to get out.
The car door opened slowly. Ye Qingfeng was the first to get out, followed by Ye Qingxin.
Ling Yun didn't bother with Ye Qingfeng because he didn't know him. He only greeted Ye Qingxin the moment she got out.
"Aunt Ye, you're here?"
The head of the Ye Family, who was originally beaming with joy, suddenly felt extremely awkward.
However, he really couldn't blame him because Ling Yun had never seen him before. Whether he really didn't know him or was pretending not to know him, he couldn't do anything.
"Yes."
Ye Qingxin nodded with a smile. She looked at Ling Yun and praised, "Ling Yun, you look so energetic today!"
"Hahaha, Aunt Ye, you flatter me. You're the real peerless beauty! "
Ye Qingxin pursed her lips and took the initiative to hold Ling Yun's hand. "Come, let me introduce you. This is my big brother, Tiandu's father, the current head of the Ye Family, Ye Qingfeng."
After Ye Qingfeng got out of the car, he was ignored by Ling Yun. Although it was only a short twenty seconds, he was almost completely ignored.
After all, he was her biological brother. Even if Ye Qingxin blamed him, she didn't want him to be embarrassed at this moment.
"Big brother, this is the current head of the Ling Family, Ling Yun!"
