There was a lot of traffic outside.
However, at this moment, the Ling Family's ancestral home was quiet and peaceful.
There weren't many people in the Ling Family.
Originally, Ling Lie had prepared a grand ceremony to welcome Yin Qingxuan back to the Ling Family.
He was an old man. He already felt guilty about what had happened to Yin Qingxuan, so he wanted to make it up to her. No matter what, he had to at least let Yin Qingxuan feel the warmth of the Ling Family when she entered the house. He had to put on a good show first.
Furthermore, Ling Lie had a fiery temper. Now that he had encountered such a joyous occasion, he wanted to make it as big as possible. He wanted the entire welcoming ceremony to be as grand and lively as possible.
Therefore, after Ling Yun left the Ling Family for the Devil Sect, he called Cui Lao over that very night. The two of them had a discussion, and Ling Lie personally made the decision. With a wave of his hand, he sent out all the men of sacrifice from the Ling Family to inform everyone that Ling Yun's mother was about to return home.
Of course, this was only limited to the Ling Family. Or rather, it was limited to those who were under the control of the Ling Family.
It was impossible for outsiders to receive the notice, even the Cao Family and the Li Family who had the closest relationship with the Ling Family.
No matter how muddle-headed Ling Lie was, he couldn't let outsiders welcome his daughter-in-law into the Ling Family's residence.
It didn't make sense.
It wasn't a wedding.
Moreover, with the Ling Family's current status, people from all over Huaxia would probably crowd the Ling Family's residence. There wouldn't even be a place for them to stay. Those who knew the inside story would know that the Ling Family was having a happy occasion. Those who didn't know might think that the Ling Family was having a big gathering.
Not only would they lose face, but they would also become a laughing stock.
Ling Lie was full of confidence. Just when the welcoming ceremony was in full swing, he received a call from Ling Yue.
Just five words: This won't do!
At that time, Ling Yue was still in Miaojiang discussing the details of the cooperation with Miracle Doctor Xue and Miao Fenghuang. When he received the news, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He immediately called his old man to object. Then, without waiting for Ling Lie's agreement, he gave strict orders to Cui Lao, Ling Yi, and Ling Qi to stop all operations.
The welcoming ceremony couldn't be like this.
There was no other reason, it was too big to be true!
Ling Yue was very smart. He knew better than anyone else that the Ling Family didn't need these fancy decorations. His sister-in-law, Yin Qingxuan, would definitely not like such a welcoming ceremony!
Was the old man doing this to welcome Yin Qingxuan or to show her the strength of the Ling Family?
After giving the order to control the situation, Ling Yue gave a call to the old man to explain the reason and the pros and cons. Ling Lie finally gave up on his original plan.
Then, Ling Yue bade farewell to Miracle Doctor Xue and his wife. He didn't hide anything from them and told them that Ling Yun had gone to the Devil Sect to save his mother. Then, he immediately returned to the Ling Family's ancestral home.
After returning home, Ling Yue immediately took over all the affairs of the Ling Family and controlled the welcoming ceremony to a very small area.
It was only limited to those who were in the Ling Family's ancestral home at that time.
This was one of the reasons why there were so few members of the Ling family.
Another reason was Ling Yun.
Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen arrived at the Ling Family residence half an hour earlier than Ling Xiao and Ye Xingchen. However, he didn't directly enter the house. Instead, he stayed in the air above the Ling Family ancestral residence, concealed.
This time, he wanted to wait for his parents to arrive before returning home together.
However, just because Ling Yun was concealed, it didn't mean that he didn't do anything.
There were too many people.
Mother wouldn't like it.
This was Ling Yun's first reaction after his Divine Telekinesis enveloped the Ling Family.
Then, he communicated with Ling Lie and Ling Yue briefly and gave the order for those who had nothing to do with it to leave the Ling Family ancestral home and help out at the auction.
Because today was already the 19th, the Ling Family's Cultivation Auction had officially opened yesterday. It was in full swing and the scene was bustling.
Those who had nothing to do with it included Ling Yun's five Blood Clan slaves, Wang Chongxiao, and Li Piaoyang, who rushed over after hearing the news.
After all, their surnames weren't Ling.
Why were they blindly involved?
Therefore, when Ling Yun and the other three entered the Ling Family ancestral home, there were only a few people standing in the first courtyard to welcome them.
Ling Yue, Li Xinmei, Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, and Ling Li. A family of five.
Ling Yong.
Ling Xue.
And Cui Lao and Cui Zhongwu.
Just these eight people.
Of course, Ling Lie was also in the house at the moment. However, he was in his own courtyard in the last courtyard. He was dressed splendidly and sat upright. He didn't come out.
It wasn't that the old master didn't want to come out.
This was the unanimous decision of Ling Yue and Ling Yun when the three of them were communicating just now. He was the elder, so he should just stay in the backyard and wait for his son and daughter-in-law to return. How could he come out personally to welcome them?
Ling Lie didn't care about that and firmly expressed his objection. However —
His objection was ineffective. Ling Yue and Ling Yun worked together to suppress him.
Seeing Ling Xiao and his wife enter the door side by side, Ling Yue and his wife immediately went forward to welcome them.
"Sister-in-law is back. Good!"
Ling Yue went forward and didn't say much. That was all he said.
"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law."
"Yin Qingxuan greets Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law."
Yin Qingxuan bowed down gracefully and greeted Ling Yue and his wife. She wasn't shy or reserved. She was just like before.
"Aiya, Sister-in-law is finally home. It's been so many years. I've missed you so much!"
Li Xinmei didn't care about the etiquette of men. She only nodded at Ling Xiao as a greeting. Then, she grabbed Yin Qingxuan. Her eyes were already red before she could finish her sentence.
"Ling Xue, Ling Yong, Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, Ling Li, your aunt is back. Come and greet her!"
The first person Li Xinmei called was Ling Xue.
Then, it was Ling Yong.
Finally, it was her three children.
There was a lot to pay attention to.
Ling Xue was Ling Xiao's daughter and Ling Yun's younger sister.
Disregarding everything else, she naturally had to be the first to greet Yin Qingxuan.
Although Ling Yong was alone now, he represented the branch of the First Clan.
Li Xinmei had been married into the Ling Family for more than 20 years. She naturally knew these rules better than anyone else.
"Aunt …"
As expected, Ling Xue was the first to run over. She greeted Yin Qingxuan as her aunt and was about to kowtow without any hesitation.
Yin Qingxuan hugged Ling Xue in her arms and said with a smile, "Good girl, it's not right for you to call me aunt. Call me aunt first."
Ling Xue blushed and quickly corrected herself. "Aunt …"
"Aye!"
Yin Qingxuan finally agreed. Then, she let go of Ling Xue's shoulders and looked left and right. "Xue Er is really handsome. You're much more handsome than your brother."
"That's not true …"
Ling Xue's face turned even redder.
Behind her, Ling Xiao, Ling Yue, and Ling Yun laughed at the same time.
"Ling Yong pays his respects to Aunt."
Ling Yong was already kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Yin Qingxuan.
Yin Qingxuan floated forward and helped him up. "Yong 'er, you're too kind. Let's not talk about the past today and never ever talk about it in the future."
"What happened back then was forced by the situation. It wasn't something that a single person could have done. Do you understand?"
"Yong 'er … understands!"
"That's right. Hurry up and talk to Yun Er."
Yin Qingxuan patted Ling Yong's shoulder and gestured for him to stop talking. Then, she stepped forward and helped Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, and Ling Li up one by one.
"You're all good kids. There's no need to be so polite. Get up."
"Old servant Cui Zhongwu pays his respects to Mistress. Congratulations on returning home!"
After all the juniors of the Ling Family greeted Yin Qingxuan, Cui Zhongwu stepped forward and greeted Yin Qingxuan. Without a word, he was about to kneel down and pay his respects.
Yin Qingxuan didn't wait for him to kneel down. She raised her hand and helped him up. "Cui Lao, there's no need to be so polite. You personally went to Qingshui and brought Yun Er home. You're our benefactor. I, Yin Qingxuan, can't thank you enough. How can I accept a bow from you?"
Cui Lao knelt down three times but realized that he was blocked by an invisible force. He couldn't kneel at all and could only give up.
After everyone paid their respects to Yin Qingxuan, it was Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen's turn to step forward and greet everyone.
"Since everyone has met, there's no need for us to gather here," Ling Yue said.
"Second Brother, Father is already waiting anxiously in the backyard. You and Sister-in-law should go first. We'll chat after you've met Father."
Then, he gave Ling Yun a look and sent a telepathic message. "Yun Er, you don't have to go. Go settle Miss Xingchen down first."
"Hehe, thank you, Second Uncle!"
Ling Yun was naturally happy. Since his mother was already home, Ling Lie couldn't help but bring up the past when he went to visit his grandfather. It was inevitable that he would be sad.
His presence would only make the atmosphere heavier, so it was better not to go.
"You juniors, stay in the front yard obediently today. Don't disturb your third uncle and third aunt. Don't find Yun Er and cause trouble for him either!"
"Got it. Really, you have to care about everything …"
Ling Xiu really wanted to follow Ling Yun to the backyard, but her father directly rejected her. She pouted helplessly.
Thus, the Ling Family's front yard calmed down quickly after the commotion. Everything returned to normal.
Ling Xiao and Yin Qingxuan went straight to the backyard to greet Ling Lie.
Ling Yun brought Ye Xingchen back to his own yard and helped Ye Xingchen lie down in his bedroom.
Ye Xingchen had been sleepy the whole time. He had been forcing himself to meet everyone just now, so he was exhausted now.
This was originally Ling Yun and Cao Shanshan's room.
However, Ye Xingchen didn't care at all.
Of course, Ling Yun didn't care.
…
With Yin Qingxuan's arrival at the Ling Family, the Ling Family was finally reunited.
That afternoon, the Ling Family held a sumptuous banquet. The three generations of the family were gathered, and laughter was endless.
After dinner …
Ling Yun left the Ling Family's ancestral home with Ye Xingchen and all the juniors of the Ling Family. They drove to the Ling Yun Hotel outside the North Sixth Ring Road.
That was the Ling Family's Ancient Martial Arts Auction House.
"Aiya, Big Brother Ling Yun, you're finally here. I've been so busy these few days with the opening of your family's auction house!"
Just as Ling Yun got out of the car at the main entrance of the hotel, Ye Tianshui suddenly appeared and hugged him.
"Big Brother Ling Yun, quick, look at me. Don't you think I've lost another five kilograms?"
