Ling Yun already knew from Shennongjia that the Chen Family was conspiring with the Tokugawa Clan to steal Huaxia's treasure, the Shennong Cauldron.
He dared to kill Chen Jianren when he was at Physique Tempering Stage Four. What more now that he was at Physique Tempering Stage Seven? Chen Jianrou, who was at Houtian Realm Level Nine, wasn't even an ant in his eyes. Ling Yun could poke her to death with one finger. Of course, he wouldn't go easy on her.
It was fine if Chen Jianrou didn't say that she was from the Chen Family, but she took the initiative to announce her background and show off her superiority in front of Ling Yun. Wasn't that asking for trouble?
Chen Jianrou flew into a rage when Ling Yun called her a b * tch. She had been the pride of the Chen Family since she was young. She reached Houtian Realm Level Nine at the age of twenty-one and was thought to have a high chance of breaking through to the Xiantian Realm. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the apple of the Chen Family's eye!
Chen Jianrou's face flushed red with hatred. "Hmph, I don't care which sect you're from. You disregarded international agreements and used force to invade Turtle Island. You've already affected Huaxia's foreign policy. Do you think the people of Huaxia will be grateful to you just because you put the flag on Turtle Island? Bullsh * t! Do you know how much trouble you've caused for Huaxia? "
The Chen family also had the support of a few hidden sects and ancient martial arts families. They were one of the top three families in China. Now that they had colluded with the Tokugawa family from Japan, their hidden power was really strong. This made the arrogant Chen Jianrou look as if everyone had to listen to her, no matter who she was facing!
Of course, this was only one of the reasons.
Another reason was that Ling Yun didn't show any of the elegance of an expert. Other than the black mask, his voice was hoarse, his eyes were lifeless, and his temples weren't bulging. Chen Jianrou felt that Ling Yun was just an ordinary person no matter how she looked at him.
Chen Jianrou didn't know that Ling Yun's temples had never bulged ever since he started training!
What she did not know was that after breaking through to Physique Tempering Stage Four, Ling Yun had already reached the realm of returning to one's natural state. Even a Xiantian Realm expert would not be able to tell that Ling Yun possessed martial arts!
Now that Ling Yun had reached Physique Tempering Stage Seven, his body had been tempered by so many bolts of golden lightning. As long as he didn't want to reveal his cultivation, even a Xiantian Realm Level Nine expert wouldn't be able to tell that Ling Yun had martial arts!
"Noisy …" Ling Yun frowned and said coldly. He squinted his eyes and asked the last question patiently, "Tell me, how much trouble have I caused for Huaxia?"
Chen Jianrou thought that Ling Yun had given in. She snorted in disdain. "The President of the United States has already announced that if Huaxia doesn't give a reasonable explanation and hand you over to the International Court of Justice, they will use all means to impose economic and military restrictions on Huaxia. Your actions have reached the limits of the Americans!" Chen Jianrou snorted.
Among the three of them present, Chen Jianrou was the only one who was truly angry at Ling Yun's actions. That was because Ling Yun was dealing with the East Asians!
The last time, her brother accepted an assignment from the family to bring Tokugawa Takeshi to Shennongjia to look for the Shennong Cauldron. In the end, the entire team was annihilated, and they still hadn't found out who the enemy was!
Now that Huaxia and the East Asians were fighting openly and covertly for the ownership of Turtle Island, the Chen Family was naturally helping the East Asians in the dark. Now that Ling Yun had messed things up, how could the Chen Family not be angry?
The East Asians represented by the Tokugawa Family wouldn't truly support the Chen Family if they couldn't help the East Asians. How could they support the Chen Family then?
Compared to the Chen Family that could overthrow the Long Family and secretly control Huaxia, a small Turtle Island was nothing.
So what if it was sold? Huaxia was vast and rich in resources.
Therefore, the real reason Chen Jianrou was sent here by her family to wait for Ling Yun was to obtain first-hand information on Ling Yun. She wanted to know who was the one who invaded Turtle Island. That way, the Chen Family could send this news to the East Asians for revenge!
"Oh? What do you mean?" Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh. "What do you mean then?"
Chen Jianrou and Long Tianjiao looked at each other. Then, they fished out a purple-gold waist tag and waved it in front of Ling Yun. "The Condor Team is under orders from our superiors to bring you back to Beijing. You have to explain and take responsibility for your reckless behavior!" Chen Jianrou said proudly.
With the Chen Family's influence in Beijing, even if Ling Yun managed to explain himself and gain the forgiveness of the higher-ups, the Chen Family would still join forces with the East Asians to make sure he died in Beijing. It would be a one-way trip.
Chen Jianrou would naturally gain a lot of benefits if this matter was successful!
"Long Tianjiao, are you from the Long Family?" Ling Yun looked at Long Tianjiao leisurely and chuckled.
Long Tianjiao naturally represented the Long Family. However, he was much more mature than Chen Jianrou, who didn't know what was good for him. He nodded politely. "Friend, I am indeed from the Long Family. I am also the Deputy Team Leader of the Condor Team. The higher-ups did ask us to wait for you here and ordered us to bring you back as soon as you appear. This is our duty. Please come with us, friend."
The Long Family was different from the Chen Family. The Long Family claimed to be the orthodox Huaxia Family. They would do anything to control the balance of power in Huaxia. However, the Long Family was stronger than the Chen Family. The Long Family would never betray their country.
To the Long Family, betraying their country was no different from betraying their own family!
Who was Long Tianjiao?
Long Tianjiao was one of the prodigies of the Long Family. He was the nouveau riche who was about to marry Lin Menghan!
He was indeed proud and confident to have reached the mid-stage of Xiantian Realm Level One at the age of twenty-five. However, if he knew that this man in black had already slept with his fiancée, who was about to marry him, who knew how he would react?
Long Tianjiao didn't know, and Ling Yun naturally didn't know either. That was because Lin Menghan didn't mention it to Ling Yun at all. Hence, the first meeting between the two love rivals was rather peaceful.
Ling Yun smiled and nodded. He turned around lightly and looked at Ling Xue, who had been silent all this while. "Then, Little Sister Ling Xue, who are you?"
Who was Ling Xue? Of course, Ling Xue was the biological daughter of the Ling Family's third master, Ling Xiao. She was also Ling Yun's half-sister. This sister was different from Ning Lingyu. She was Ling Yun's real sister!
The Condor Team, as the name suggested, was a department that investigated various matters for the country. If it was in the Ming Dynasty, it would be the Imperial Secret Service!
With the establishment of such a department, all the big families in Huaxia would naturally place their own children in it. It was not only an experience, but also a kind of growth experience. It would also allow their own families to obtain first-hand secret information so that their own families would be invincible in the fight between the families in Huaxia.
Just by looking at the situation of the three members of the Condor Team, one could tell that no matter if it was in terms of power or the strength of the members, the Long Family was the strongest. The Ling Family was undoubtedly the weakest. Among the three of them, Ling Xue could only be considered as a foil. She couldn't even speak a single word!
However, Ling Xue knew that if it wasn't for the support of the Long Family, the Ling Family would have been kicked out of the seven big families in Beijing a long time ago. The people of the Ling Family were looked down upon everywhere in Beijing. No matter where they went, they had to act according to the wishes of the other big families. Therefore, other than desperately cultivating to make herself stronger, she could only accept this reality.
The Ling Family secretly controlled the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Commerce in Huaxia. Now, because of Ling Yun's forceful landing on the island, Huaxia's diplomacy and commerce with other countries were facing serious problems. This caused the head of the Ling Family, Ling Zhen, to be in a terrible position. He had no choice but to arrange for Ling Xue to come here to investigate. He also wanted to obtain first-hand information about Ling Yun so that he could respond in time.
Ling Yun's landing on the island was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. It caused undercurrents to surge in the entire Huaxia. It was just that he didn't know it yet.
Or rather, Ling Yun had already thought of it, but he didn't care.
Hearing Ling Yun's question, Ling Xue immediately raised her head and looked straight at Ling Yun. She pursed her lips and said coldly, "Ling Xue from the Ling Family!"
Ling Yun immediately knew that she was from the Ling Family. He looked at Ling Xue's pretty face seriously again, and his heart skipped a beat.
"They look a little alike …" Ling Yun realized that other than the fact that Ling Xue's eyes were completely different from his, the outline of her face was actually somewhat similar to his.
Of course, their eyes were different. A daughter took after her father. Ling Xue's eyes were similar to Ling Xiao's, but gentler. On the other hand, Ling Yun's eyes were extremely similar to his biological mother, the previous generation's Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect!
Ling Yun had a strong memory. No matter what he learned, he could learn it in one go. He had the Heart of Nine Orifices. When it came to intelligence, who could be compared to him?
He was abandoned from birth and had his Yang Heel Meridian destroyed. That meant that he had an extraordinary background. He must have been a victim of some kind of battle.
Furthermore, his surname was Ling, and he happened to have a big family in Beijing, the Ling family. Cao Shanshan had personally said that the Ling family and the Qin family had a huge incident eighteen years ago, causing China to be in a state of turmoil!
Ling Yun was eighteen years old this year!
Now, his adoptive mother, Qin Qiuyue, had been forced away from the Qin Family eighteen years ago. All these coincidences added up …
Ling Yun had long been suspicious. Now that he saw Ling Xue's resemblance to him, it would be strange if he didn't think of that possibility!
"Maybe I really am from the Ling Family?" Ling Yun suddenly shifted his gaze away from Ling Xue's face. He raised his head and pondered.
All of this was too much of a coincidence, so much so that he couldn't help but think about it!
"Hey! What are you thinking about?! If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave with us! "
Chen Jianrou was bored to death waiting on this surveillance ship for so long. Now that she was eager to claim credit, she immediately suggested to bring Ling Yun back!
"Scram!"
Ling Yun's thoughts were interrupted by Chen Jianrou. He didn't want to tolerate it anymore and raised his hand lightly!
"Pa!"
A slap landed on Chen Jianrou's face, sending her flying more than thirty meters away. Her body fell straight into the sea! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for me at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued.)
