Communication was mutual.
After all, Ling Yun was the head of the Ling Family. Every time he went out, it was equivalent to cutting off contact with his family. Therefore, every time he came back, other than telling his family about his main experiences, he also had to listen to the important matters of the family. Otherwise, he would be clueless when he went out.
Usually, this would be told by his second uncle, Ling Yue. Now that Ling Yue wasn't at home, this task naturally fell to Ling Xiao.
Therefore, through Ling Xiao's narration, Ling Yun learned about the major developments of the Ling Family and the movements of some of the important figures.
Second Uncle, Ling Yue, had been invited to Miaojiang by Miracle Doctor Xue half a month ago. His purpose was to discuss with Miracle Doctor Xue and his wife about the details of the plan that Ling Yun had formulated previously. He wanted to implement it as soon as possible.
Tang Meng left with Ling Yue and went to Miaojiang first. After the general situation in Miaojiang was settled, he rushed to Haojiang to meet He Yuqiong.
Of course, this was to strike while the iron was hot!
This time, Ling Yun first solved the internal problems of the He Family. Then, he followed up on his victory by conquering Nanyang and eliminating the Nanyang Itinerant Cultivators Alliance. Once the internal and external problems were solved, he could just leave. However, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether it was the He Family in Haojiang or the Ling Family who had just ascended to the top in Huaxia, they couldn't miss it!
Therefore, He Yuqiong and Tang Meng, these two extremely intelligent people with a keen sense for business, hit it off and prepared to take advantage of the situation. They wanted to expand their business power to the area that Ling Yun had just destroyed as quickly as possible!
As for the specific development, of course, Ling Yue would be in charge of the general direction. As for the rest, they could only come to a conclusion after Tang Meng and He Yuqiong discussed it in detail.
At the same time, considering Tang Meng's safety, Ling Yue specially called Tie Xiaohu, who was cultivating in seclusion in the Qinling Mountains, back to accompany Tang Meng.
This was also the reason why Ling Yun didn't see Tie Xiaohu in the Ancient Qin Village.
A month ago, Cao Shanshan heard that Bai Xianer was cultivating in the Flaming Mountain. She went to the Flaming Mountain alone to cultivate in seclusion after Ling Yun left home!
Cui Lao was now stationed at the Ling Family Martial Arts School. Together with Ling Yong, he was in charge of training Ling Yun's seventy-two disciples. He was so conscientious that he rarely returned to the Ling Family.
These people were the reason why Ling Yun didn't get to see them this time.
Apart from that, there were also the major matters of the Ling Family.
First and most importantly, it was naturally the debt collection led by Ling Yun a month ago. Then, at Ling Xiao's birthday banquet, he took back the businesses that the Long Family and the Ye Family had taken from the Ling Family.
This industry was simply too huge, like an astronomical figure. Moreover, not only did it involve various major industries, but it also involved many top figures. A slight move in one part could affect the whole. To carry out the handover and integration was not something that could be completed in a day or even two or three months.
Moreover, it wasn't just the two businesses that were returned by the Long Family and the Ye Family. Three months ago, the two businesses from the Sun Family and the Chen Family still hadn't been completed. The four families' businesses could be said to be intertwined. No matter how meticulous Ling Yue was, it was inevitable that he would be overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the Ling Family was no longer what it used to be. No one dared to cause trouble. With the help of the Cao Family, the Li Family, and the Ye Family, it was only a matter of time before they could integrate this huge business. Therefore, Ling Yue could take his time and sort things out bit by bit.
Next was the Ling Family's Ancient Martial Arts Auction, or rather, the Cultivation Auction. After more than two months of preparation, everything was ready. It would open three days later on the eighteenth.
Ling Yun was very concerned about this matter. He asked a few more questions. The most important thing was the location.
"It's a five-star hotel near the North Sixth Loop. Now, this hotel is completely owned by the Ling Family. Your second uncle got people to renovate it and rearrange all the staff. From now on, it won't be open to the outside world. It will be used exclusively for our Ancient Martial Arts Auction."
"Which hotel?"
Ling Yun asked casually. At the same time, he had already released his strong divine sense. It spread like a flood, covering a radius of a hundred miles.
"Ling Yun Hotel." Ling Xiao suppressed his laughter and told him.
Ling Yun: "…"
Actually, Ling Yun didn't need Ling Xiao's answer. He had already seen the hotel. It was quiet and secluded. It used to be a holiday village but had obviously been completely renovated. There were already Ling Family loyalists stationed there.
"Borrowing my name, Second Uncle really knows how to save trouble."
Ling Yun smiled helplessly. He observed the interior of the hotel and asked, "That auction looks like the layout of the Ye Family's auction. Did the Ye Family help?"
"The Ye Family is very helpful, especially the new head of the Ye Family, Ye Tianshui. He can't wait to move his own auction over …"
"This guy …"
Ling Yun shook his head, feeling a little emotional.
Ling Lie couldn't help but interrupt with a smile. "Oh, Ye Tianshui is much more pleasing to the eye than Ye Qingfeng."
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and added, "Father, the truly amazing one is that Ye Qingfeng. After Yun Er's rise, he repeatedly tested the waters and decided to hand over the power. Then, he took the initiative to return the Ling Family's assets. Then, he got the two most outstanding disciples of the Ye Family to form a good relationship with the Ling Family. Step by step, everything fell into place. Everything he did was obvious, but the Ling Family didn't have the slightest bit of enmity towards the Ye Family.
He's really amazing! "Ling Lie laughed after hearing that." Third Brother, you can see that Ye Qingfeng's methods aren't any worse than his! However, the reason why he did this is also because that lass, Qing Xin, has always been infatuated with you. "
"Cough cough!"
Ling Xiao's face immediately turned red. He coughed violently to hide his awkward expression.
No matter how calm Ling Xiao's state of mind was, he couldn't take it when his grandfather teased him in front of his son.
Ling Lie didn't mind. He glanced at Ling Xiao and said, "I can't stop you from acting dumb. However, as an elder, I can see it clearly. It's a pity that you never liked her. Later, you went out and brought Qingxuan back."
Ling Xiao scratched his head anxiously and complained, "Father, if you insist on teasing me, I'll go and cultivate. As for the remaining matters, you can discuss them with Yun 'er. "
Seeing that Ling Xiao was really anxious, Ling Lie decisively stopped the topic and gestured for Ling Xiao to continue.
The last thing Ling Xiao told Ling Yun was about the impact of Ning Lingyu's massacre of the Kunlun Mountain's five sects and eleven schools, as well as the reactions of the major powers in Beijing.
Huaxia's Dragon Group watched from the sidelines as if nothing had happened.
The Huaxia Heavenly Group had been split into two factions from the start. One faction advocated for the immediate rescue of Kunlun Mountain. The other faction was naturally led by Zhou Wenyi. He personally made an appearance and joined forces with the Ye Family, Long Family, Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, and the Heavenly Group Elders of Mount Longhu to forcefully suppress the matter until the news of Ling Yun subduing Ning Lingyu reached Beijing.
Later on, the head of the Qin Family, Qin Changqing, used his status as Ning Lingyu's grandfather to come to Beijing personally. He gave the various powers in Beijing a reason that wasn't really a reason.
Qin Changqing's reason was simple. Something went wrong with Ning Lingyu's cultivation and her body was invaded by demons.
Of course, such a reason wouldn't be able to convince the masses. However, those in the Heavenly Group had no choice but to accept it.
This was because there was another sentence behind Qin Changqing's reason. Those who didn't believe it could wait for Ling Yun to return to Beijing and ask him.
The old man's method was simple but absolutely effective.
Of course, Ling Yun had already heard about this matter from Qin Qiuyue. He also knew that Ning Lingyu's massacre of the Kunlun Mountain's Five Sects and Eleven Sects had become a huge secret in Huaxia's cultivation world. It was the result of all parties' pressure and compromise.
There was only one thing that Ling Yun didn't expect.
"The Long Family actually helped to suppress Lingyu's matter? They didn't add fuel to the fire? "He asked directly.
"Indeed."
Ling Xiao nodded. "And it wasn't after you suppressed Lingyu. When the news reached Beijing, Long Tianxing had already specifically looked for Zhou Wenyi. He said that the Long Family was firmly against the Heavenly Group's action against Ning Lingyu."
"Interesting."
Ling Yun smiled and shook his head. He couldn't be bothered to guess what the Long Family was up to. He couldn't explain too much about Ning Lingyu's matter because it would only make things worse. Therefore, it was best to deal with it coldly.
"Yun Er, that's all I need to tell you about the family matters. Is there anything else that you need to deal with personally?"
Ling Xiao asked Ling Yun after he finished speaking.
"Nothing else."
Ling Yun shook his head decisively.
It sounded like there were a lot of things, but there wasn't a single one that he needed to deal with. Just as Ling Lie had said, the family matters had already been dealt with for him.
Then, Ling Yun stood up. "Grandpa, Father, it's getting late. Both of you should get some rest. I'll be staying at home tomorrow, or I'll be walking around Beijing."
"Tomorrow evening, I'll make a trip back to Qingshui City to fetch Aunt Qing. Then …"
At this point, Ling Yun intentionally paused and gave Ling Xiao a look. "Tomorrow night, the three of us will go to the main altar of the Devil Sect to fetch my mother home!"
"Wait!"
Ling Lie saw that Ling Yun was about to escape and immediately grabbed his arm. He was incomparably angry. "Brat, did I hear wrongly? What did you say just now? Just the three of you are going to the main altar of the Devil Sect to fetch your mother home? "
"That's right."
Ling Yun couldn't escape, so he could only reply innocently.
"What about me?!" Ling Lie was infuriated. "You actually don't want me to go for such a big matter?"
"Grandpa."
Ling Yun had no choice but to explain with a smile. "Fetching my mother from the main altar of the Devil Sect might have been a huge matter for the Ling Family in the past, but to me now, it's just a small matter. There definitely won't be a huge battle. With your seniority, of course, you should stay at home. How can you go out personally?"
Ling Yun's use of seniority made Ling Lie speechless. However, he was still unwilling. "But …"
"There are no buts."
Ling Yun continued, "You should be very clear about my current strength. Even if you really go, you won't have the chance to make a move. Why don't you stay at home and wait for my father and mother to return home just like you did eighteen years ago to pay a visit to you? "
After that, Ling Yun turned to look at Ling Xiao. "Father, don't you agree?"
Ling Xiao naturally smiled and nodded. "That makes sense."
Ling Lie was instantly speechless.
Because Ling Yun's words were indeed reasonable. Ling Yun was going to the Devil Sect to save his biological mother, while Ling Xiao was going to fetch his beloved home. As an elder, what was he going to do?
It was inappropriate!
"Alright, alright."
Ling Lie thought about it and finally compromised. He waved his hand. "If that's the case, I'll stay at home and make all the preparations. I'll wait for your family of three to return!"
Then, Ling Lie gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot as he said in a low voice, "This time, I want to see who dares to attack my Ling Family after you return home!"
Just this sentence alone exposed the old master's inner thoughts. It turned out that Ling Lie had never forgotten that bloody and humiliating night eighteen years ago!
Ling Xiao clenched his fists.
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows.
The three of them looked at each other. There was no need to speak. Everything was understood without words.
…
The next morning, Ling Yun formally met his brothers and sisters in his own courtyard. Everyone had a good time talking to each other.
After lunch, Ling Yun left home alone and went directly to the Heavenly Team headquarters. There, he met the Great Elder of the Heavenly Team, Zhou Wenyi, and the leader of the Dragon Team, Zhao Xingwu. Naturally, he received two extremely generous rewards.
At the same time, he had also given a final explanation for Ning Lingyu's matter, putting the matter behind closed doors.
At around four o 'clock in the afternoon, Ling Yun rushed to Qingshui and fetched Qing Niao back to the Ling Family's ancestral home.
After dinner, Ling Yun, Ling Xiao, and Qing Niao packed up and flew to Anyang. They came directly to the sky above Yinxu.
Below them was Yinxu, the former capital of the Shang Dynasty.
In the night, the three of them hovered in the air. Ling Yun released his powerful divine sense and had already "touched" a pitch-black Mountain Defense Formation. It was different from the Mountain Defense Formation of most sects. This Mountain Defense Formation wasn't a hemispherical light shield. Instead, it was layered and twisted. In Ling Yun's perception, it was like a huge beehive growing on the ground!
Space Folding!
This was an extremely powerful Space Formation!
Ling Yun turned his head and smiled. "Aunt Qing, I wonder if you still remember where you carried me and escaped from back then?"
Tonight, I'll fight my way in from where I escaped back then!
The hatred of that year, the snow of that night.
