"Long Haoran, that little bastard! He's still trying to scam the Ling Family! He doesn't deserve to be a guest of the Ling Family! "
In the largest private room of the Pangu Seven Stars Hotel, Ling Lie was furious after hearing Ling Yun's explanation!
He asked angrily, "Yun Er, why didn't you expose him on the spot just now? You could've let the world see how Long Haoran treated the Ling Family!"
Ling Yun smiled faintly. "Killing is just a matter of nodding one's head to the ground. I should've just taught him a lesson and let him back off."
In the private room next door, Ye Tianshui, who had been listening attentively, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Ling Yun say that killing was just a matter of nodding one's head to the ground.
How could this be called killing is just a matter of nodding one's head to the ground? You've already stepped on his face and rubbed it against the ground, okay?
However, Ye Tianshui finally understood why Ling Yun chased Long Haoran away. He couldn't help but feel terrified.
Long Haoran was the one who killed without spilling blood.
Only Ling Yun knew what was good for him. Apart from Ling Yun, anyone else present today would have been tricked by Long Haoran. Long Haoran had already sold you out, and you still had to be grateful to him!
The underworld was the underworld, and the waters were too deep!
"Ling Yun is really a monster. We're all at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Stage Six. How can he even recognize the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Ye Tiandu, who was at the side, said in a muffled voice as he drank a mouthful of wine. He was trying his best to suppress the feeling of helplessness that arose in his heart.
Because there were too many important guests today, there were two big tables in the private room that Ling Lie was in. Each table was more than four meters in diameter, and there were at least twenty people seated at each table.
At Ling Lie's table were Ling Xiao, Ling Yue, Qing Niao, Ling Yun, Ling Xiu, Ling Xue, and the other six juniors of the Ling Family. Cao Shanshan was also there. After all, it was Ling Xiao's birthday today, so the Ling Family naturally sat together.
This made it convenient for the family to talk and for the other guests to toast and get to know each other.
The others who could sit at this table were naturally the heavyweights, such as Zhou Wenyi, Cao Junxiong, Li Guanping, Qin Chunfeng, Lin Hongjun, and Xue Chengye and his wife.
Ye Qingfeng also occupied a seat beside Zhou Wenyi due to his superior status and outstanding performance at the gate of the Ling family today.
Since he was there, Ye Qingxin was naturally there as well, and she happened to be next to the green bird.
This table of people was at the head of the eastern table in the private room.
The table on the west was almost exclusively filled with members of the Qingshui Gang. Among them, Murong Wenshi and Zhuang Tiande were treated as guests of honor, with Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu accompanying them. Then, under Ling Yun's special request, Dugu Mo and Dongfang Ting had the honor of sitting here as well.
Even though the two of them had come on their own and their realms weren't high, they still represented an ancient martial arts family. Furthermore, they were friends that Ling Yun had acknowledged.
The core members of the Ling Family were at a table with the most distinguished big shots. Ling Yun's Qingshui City team was at a table to the side.
Even though this arrangement was slightly messy and wasn't perfect, it was still considered to be in place in a hurry.
Therefore, even though Ye Tianshui and Ye Tiandu had sufficient status, they couldn't squeeze into this room and could only be helpless.
Ling Lie was really happy today!
Not because of the scene in front of him, but because of the seven or eight things that Ling Yun had announced in the banquet hall. Which one of them didn't make the Ling Family proud?!
Which one of them didn't shock the world?
Furthermore, even if Long Haoran had come personally, Ling Yun had completely crushed him from start to finish. Not only did the Long Family lose, but they also lost. In the end, they didn't even get to drink a cup of tea before being chased out by Ling Yun!
…
All of this showed that the Ling Family was indeed worthy of being one of the top families in Huaxia. After three rounds of wine, Grandpa Ling seemed to be in a trance. He could vaguely see the glory of the Ling Family forty years ago!
"Yun Er, good lad, it hasn't even been half a year!"
Ling Lie praised Ling Yun in front of everyone. He was too embarrassed to say the second half of his speech in front of Ye Qingfeng and Zhou Wenyi, so he could only shut his mouth.
However, everyone understood that with such a terrifying speed of development, what would the Ling Family be like in another half a year?!
"Grandpa, you've drunk too much. Don't forget that you're going through your tribulation tonight!"
Ling Yun reminded him with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.
Ling Lie wanted to get drunk. If he wanted to sober up, he could force all the alcohol out in a matter of minutes.
However, when Ling Yun mentioned the tribulation, Zhou Wenyi smiled and said, "Ling Yun, do you need anyone to help protect the three of you during your tribulation tonight?"
Ling Yun chuckled. "Old Zhou, I thought you were going to play dumb until the end. Since you've taken the initiative to mention it, it saves me the trouble of saying it again."
Actually, even if Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, and Qing Niao were going through their tribulations at the same time, Ling Yun alone could guarantee that nothing would go wrong. However, since Zhou Wenyi had taken the initiative to help, he couldn't embarrass him, right?
"Alright, I can't drink for free. Tell me the location of the tribulation later, and I'll go over."
"Ahem, Uncle Ling, Little Brother, if you're not afraid that I, Ye Qingfeng, will cause trouble for you, count me in as the protector tonight."
Zhou Wenyi had made a move, so Ye Qingfeng had no choice but to accept it. Moreover, he really wanted to watch the scene of the three of them going through their tribulations at the same time.
"Big Brother Ling, Little Sister Qing Niao, I'll go and help too."
The one who spoke was naturally Ye Qingxin.
"Good, good, good. Let's all go. The more guards, the better!"
Ling Yun didn't reject anything and accepted everything without hesitation.
When the banquet was almost over, Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and the rest from the neighboring table came over to toast. This was inevitable.
"Seniors, this is Tang Meng, and this is Tie Xiaohu. They are both my brothers. Please take care of them in the future."
Ling Yun naturally had to make a grand introduction. It was definitely a rare opportunity for these big shots to gather together.
"Pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Stage Five!"
"What great potential!"
Zhou Wenyi and Ye Qingfeng both praised Tie Xiaohu, of course.
Ling Yun was at ease. Tie Xiaohu had been nurtured meticulously by him. He was definitely proud of him now!
"Xiaohu, I wanted to talk to you just now. A few days ago, we were evenly matched. Why did you get ahead of me?"
Ling Lie complained happily. His words were full of jealousy, and he didn't forget to glare at Ling Yun at the same time.
Tie Xiaohu could only be embarrassed and didn't dare to reply.
After the two of them came over to toast, Murong Wenshi, Zhuang Tiande, and the rest followed. They were treated as guests of honor because of their relationship with Murong Feixue and Zhuang Meifeng.
Of course, this was the only thing they could rely on. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to eat in the same room with so many big shots.
Zhuang Tiande's heart was already pounding with excitement. Back then, in order to open up the market north of the Yellow River, he gave his eldest daughter, Zhuang Meifeng, to a good-for-nothing from the Sun Family. The Sun Family didn't even treat him as a human. But now?
The Sun Chen Alliance was long gone. Looking at the table in front of him …
After that, it was time to visit the tables and even the rooms to toast. During the entire lunch, none of the core members of the Ling Family, including Ling Yun, left their rooms!
They were all people who came from other rooms to propose a toast!
This was the current status of the Ling Family!
…
However, all good things must come to an end.
No matter how grand and luxurious a banquet was, it had to come to an end.
If the time in the banquet hall was included, Ling Xiao's birthday party would start at 12 AM and end at 4 PM.
After the banquet, Ling Yun deliberately called Li Guanping and Li Junhua together before he left.
Both of them had a premonition and were suppressing their excitement.
"Grandpa Li, Uncle Li, I'm really satisfied with my father's birthday banquet. Thank you so much."
Li Guanping waved his hands hurriedly. "This is what we should do. From now on, our Li Family will depend on you. This small matter isn't worth mentioning."
Li Junhua nodded his head. "Yes, yes, Ling Yun, if you treat your Uncle Li as one of us, don't ever mention the word 'thank you'."
Ling Yun smiled. With a thought, three pairs of high-quality elixirs appeared in his hands, including the Youth Retaining Pill and the Youth Restoring Pill.
This was what he had left for Ling Lie before the Devil Subduing Conference during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There were a total of ten pairs of elixirs, but the old man was very tight with money and had only given out four pairs. He still had six pairs left, and Ling Yun had specially asked for three pairs.
"Grandpa Li, to be honest, I also have a better Youth Retaining Pill that can restore one's youth by fifty years. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I think that if you consume it, it might not be convenient for your status in the future …"
While Ling Yun was explaining, Li Guanping and his son were staring straight at him. Even Grandpa Li's lips were trembling.
"Ling Yun, what are you saying? You don't have to explain! I know that your grandpa and father have consumed this type of elixir. If you want me to consume something better, isn't that a slap to my face? "
There was nothing wrong with what he said. After all, apart from Xue Zhengqi, his wife, and Cui Lao, none of Ling Yun's relatives had consumed the elixirs that he had refined.
"Both of you can consume one pair each. If you feel that you don't need the Youth Restoring Pill, you can keep it as a gift. As for the other pair, you can keep it for yourself."
With that, Ling Yun passed the two bottles of medicine to Li Junhua.
"You can consume it directly. If Uncle Li is still worried, you can ask my uncle. He will tell you in detail."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Li Junhua clutched the two bottles tightly in his hands and nodded his head vigorously. "This, this, this, we can't ask for this for free. Ling Yun, tell me, what do you want? I'll agree to anything you want!" he said incoherently.
Ling Yun smiled casually. "The investment in Qingshui City, the construction of my residence, and today's banquet, Uncle Li has already done enough. From now on, our two families will work hand in hand."
Hearing Ling Yun's words, the Li Family's father and son choked with sobs.
The Li Family's father and son knew very well that the three things that Ling Yun mentioned couldn't be exchanged for Ling Yun's three pairs of elixirs.
Furthermore, Ling Yun didn't say to protect them, but to work hand in hand.
He had given the Li Family enough face.
After Ling Yun left.
"Junhua, send another generous gift to the Ling Family tomorrow. Also, you just have to be Ling Yue's assistant in the future. The Ling Family has just brought back such a huge fortune. It will take at least a year or two to organize it properly. Just a small portion of the spoils from their family would be better than what the Li Family has now. "
"I understand. Father, don't worry."
To the Li Family's father and son, Ling Yun's gratitude was a gift!
