"The head of the Ye Family is here personally!"
At this moment, in the guest room of the Ling Family, dozens of people stood up in shock!
Even though the Ling family's guest room was huge, with the number of guests that day, close to a thousand people had already arrived in the first two hours. Of course, it wouldn't be able to accommodate all of them in a short time.
Fortunately, under Cui Lao's command, almost all of the guests from the secular world, as well as those with lower status in the Pugilistic World, had been sent to Pangu Seven Stars early.
Therefore, those who could sit in the guest room and drink tea in peace were basically the top figures of the ancient martial arts world in Huaxia. They were either sect leaders, elders, or the heads of hidden families.
Of course, this was planned by Ling Yue.
After all, although the current Ling Family was one of the six big families in the secular world of Hua Xia in name, in reality, the Ling Family had long since become a family of cultivators. To say that the Ling Family was now an ancient martial arts family was an understatement.
Therefore, those who could stay in the Ling Family and drink tea in peace were the top figures of the Pugilistic World, apart from those who had arrived early in the Ling Family's backyard.
To roam the Pugilistic World and fight to the death, all one wanted was a position in the Pugilistic World.
Moreover, the Ling Family was located in the flourishing capital city. Everything in the house was set up according to everything in the city. Today, there were so many Ancient Martial Arts Masters. Although they came with their own motives, they couldn't treat them like those secular guests. Before they even had a cup of tea, they were directly sent to the Pangu Seven Stars.
They had to be separated into two groups in advance.
Otherwise, the guest room would be filled with such a joyous scene.
Two people shook hands. "Boss Ma, I heard that in the first three quarters of this year, your sales revenue exceeded last year's?"
Someone cupped his fists. "It's been half a year, and I didn't expect Master Jueyuan to have broken through to Magical Realm Level Three. Congratulations!"
"Amitabha," Master Jueyuan replied.
Further away, two foreigners were speaking in a foreign language …
What had become of the Ling Family? It was completely out of place!
Fortunately, Ling Yue and Li Junhua had already thought of such a situation and solved it effectively.
Of course, the Ling Family naturally had other motives for keeping these top ancient martial arts experts.
Those who were qualified to stay in the Ling Family's guest room were at least at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Eight. Even though they couldn't say that all of them had divine sense, their five senses and six senses were far superior to ordinary people.
For example, everything that happened at the entrance of the Ling Residence could be heard clearly by these people no matter how chaotic it was at the entrance!
The Ye Clan had been holding ancient martial arts auctions for many years. The ancient martial arts experts in the reception room had basically participated in them many times. Ye Qingfeng would show up once or twice every year, so they naturally knew each other.
Therefore, as soon as Ye Qingfeng got off the car, the dozens of people in the reception room all stood up.
This was what it meant by a person's reputation was like a tree's shadow.
"Go, go, go. Let's go out and take a look. The Ye Family's Patriarch is here. We should go out and welcome him."
"That's right, that's right. We have to go out. Since we're guests at the Ling Family's place, we have to support the Ling Family at this time …"
"…"
For a moment, there were all kinds of arguments, but no matter what the reason was, these people all filed out and headed straight for the Ling Family's main gate.
The Ling Family's guest room was only a short distance of tens of meters from the main gate. They arrived in no time.
The moment these dozens of people came out, the main entrance of the Ling Family was filled with people in an instant. It was so packed that not even a drop of water could pass through!
Moreover, it wasn't just these people. Cao Junxiong, Li Guanping, and the others in the courtyard also rushed to the main gate when they heard that Ye Qingfeng was here.
Everyone's status was about the same. They might even have to eat at the same table later. It wasn't appropriate for them to not come out at this time.
Ye Qingfeng was indeed embarrassed. It could be said that this was a scene that he had never encountered in decades.
Of course, he knew Ling Lie. Of course, he also knew Ling Xiao.
Ling Yue was even more so. The two of them had met a few days ago and had a long talk.
At this moment, all three of them were present at the main gate. Even though Ye Qingfeng had long noticed Zhou Wenyi and knew that these people from the Ling Family came out to welcome Zhou Wenyi, he didn't care.
However, the problem was that those people were standing behind Ling Yun. Now that Ling Yun was in the middle, he couldn't even open his mouth to greet them!
Moreover, Ling Yun was indeed the head of the Ling Family now. There was nothing wrong with the Ling Family welcoming him like this!
Obviously, the Ling Family wasn't the one that was difficult to deal with. It was Ling Yun. This was a show of strength to see how he would respond!
How else could he respond? He, Ye Qingfeng, was already prepared to be bullied when he came today.
As for Ling Yun, he purposely left Ye Qingfeng hanging for more than ten seconds. He originally wanted to leave him hanging for a while longer, but Ye Qingxin took the initiative to introduce him.
Ling Yun raised his hand and slightly cupped his fists. He was neither servile nor overbearing. "Master Ye, it's an honor to meet you!"
It wasn't a senior, it wasn't an uncle, it wasn't a bad reception, it was just an honor to meet you.
Ye Qingfeng smiled bitterly in his heart. However, he had to respond in front of so many people. He could only return the greeting with his fists cupped. "I've long heard that the Ling Family's head is a genius with shocking cultivation. Now that I've met you, you are indeed a young talent. It's an honor to meet you!"
Ling Yun smiled. "Well said, well said."
Ye Qingfeng's attitude was low enough, but Ling Yun didn't even say a word of modesty.
It was impossible for him to be humble at this moment. There was no need for him to be humble because Ling Yun had been waiting for this moment to celebrate his father's birthday with great fanfare!
He wanted to announce in front of the world that the Ling Family was no longer the Ling Family that was struggling at death's door and being bullied by others!
"May I know why Master Ye suddenly came to visit?"
As soon as these words came out, the big shots in the martial arts world couldn't help but take a deep breath at the same time!
This was too overbearing!
This was too much, absolutely too much!
This was not the way to treat a guest!
Ling Yun had come, introduced him, and greeted him. The next step was to invite him to his home. However, Ling Yun seemed to have forgotten about this and just stood at the door and chatted awkwardly with Ye Qingfeng.
Did Ling Yun have the way to treat a guest?
Needless to say, of course he did. He had personally come out to greet all the people that should be received.
However, it depended on who the other party was.
Others could do it, but not Ye Qingfeng!
Although Ye Qingfeng didn't personally participate in the Ling Family's case eighteen years ago, he had secretly added fuel to the fire. After the Ling Family's tragedy, the Ye Family even participated in dividing the Ling Family's assets!
This wasn't something that a casual visit to the Ling Family to celebrate Ling Xiao's birthday could make up for.
According to Ling Yun's character, treating Ye Qingfeng this way was already very restrained for the sake of Ye Qingxin, Ye Tianshui, and Ye Tiandu.
At the back, Ye Tianshui and Ye Tiandu had already gotten out of the car, but neither of them moved forward.
Ye Tianshui watched with relish. "See, I won, right? I already said that Ling Yun wouldn't give Second Uncle face … "
Ye Tiandu gritted his teeth. "Whose side are you on?"
Ling Yun was indeed a good friend, but Ye Qingfeng was Ye Tiandu's biological father!
Ye Tiandu had long wanted to rush up and beat Ling Yun up after seeing Ling Yun ridiculing his own father.
No matter what, he had to fight first!
"I didn't expect that Ling Yun wouldn't give Father face in front of so many people."
Ye Tiandu gnashed his teeth in hatred and rolled up his sleeves.
"Don't move!"
Ye Tianshui pressed him down without batting an eyelid. "Even if the four of us attacked together, we wouldn't be able to defeat that brat. What are you trying to do?"
"Moreover, I bet Aunt won't help."
Of course, Ye Tiandu couldn't really fight with Ling Yun, but he felt aggrieved. He said angrily, "You still have the cheek to say that? Didn't my father give you the position of the head of the family last night? Why didn't you come over this morning and help him deal with this situation? "
Ye Tianshui said innocently, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help Second Uncle, but do you think I can resolve the grudge from back then?"
Ye Tiandu: "…"
Ye Tiandu naturally knew how shrewd Ye Tianshui was. He knew that Ye Tianshui's words were crude, but his logic wasn't.
No matter when or where, as long as Ling Yun met Ye Qingfeng, there would definitely be such a scene!
In fact, it might even be more awkward than now!
"Don't worry, since Second Uncle is here, he definitely has a way to deal with it. Ling Yun isn't a ruthless person."
Ye Tiandu was still unhappy. "Hmph, after today, I'll settle the score with Ling Yun sooner or later!"
"You can fight as long as you don't drag me into it."
As for Ye Qingxin, she didn't care about this side at all after introducing both parties. She turned her head and looked gently at Ling Xiao who wasn't far away.
That one look was enough to see through thousands of mountains and rivers.
"He's so young. Big Brother Ling has indeed returned to his appearance from twenty years ago …"
Both Ling Xiao and Ye Qingxin had taken the Youth Retaining Pill. The two of them hadn't seen each other for twenty years, but they still looked the same as before.
Ling Xiao naturally felt it. He nodded slightly and returned a smile, but he didn't send a telepathic message or step forward.
Ye Qingxin was stunned. She couldn't even hear the familiar "little sister" anymore?
"Cough cough …"
Ye Qingfeng's cough finally broke the silence. He stared deeply at Ling Yun and finally spoke slowly.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was earth-shattering!
"Since Family Head Ling has asked, I, Ye Qingfeng, have to answer."
"Fine!"
Ye Qingfeng's voice was clear. "Eighteen years ago, the Ling Family encountered a catastrophe, and your parents suffered greatly because of it. I, Ye Qingfeng, was already the Family Head of the Ye Family at that time. Not only did I not save them, but I even secretly allowed them to do so in order to obtain benefits for the family. What's more, after the Ling Family's decline, I, Ye Qingfeng, took advantage of the situation to obtain a lot of the Ling Family's property.
"Now that Brother Ling Xiao has recovered his cultivation and is even stronger than before, I, Ye Qingfeng, feel deeply ashamed when I think about the mistakes I made in the past. Therefore, I came uninvited on the day of Brother Ling Xiao's birthday celebration for four reasons.
"Firstly, I'm here to congratulate Brother Ling Xiao. Secondly, I'm here to atone for the mistakes I made in the past. Thirdly, I'm here to return the assets of the Ling Family with interest. Fourthly, I'm here to make use of this joyous occasion to mend our relationship."
"Family Head Ling Yun, are you satisfied with my answer?"
