Beijing, Ling Family.
Before Ling Yun went out to sea, which was a month ago, Ling Lie sent Cui Lao to Qingshui City to meet with Ling Yun first. This was to act as a buffer in case the Ling Family suddenly found him and Ling Yun couldn't accept them.
The Ling Family had already declined. Ling Lie's original plan was to find Ling Yun and bring back his grandson, who had been wandering outside since he was young. He wanted Ling Yun to live a happy life without worrying about food or clothing for the rest of his life. That way, he would be able to fulfill his duty as a grandfather.
However, after Cui Lao arrived in Qingshui City and met Ling Yun, shocking news about Ling Yun began to fly into Ling Lie's ears like snowflakes. Each time, it was more shocking than the last, and each time, it was more delightful than the last!
Ling Yun's unparalleled medical skills, his terrifying cultivation speed, his unfathomable cultivation, his courage to charge into the tiger's den alone for the sake of his loved ones, and his hot-bloodedness and courage that made the old man tremble with excitement. He couldn't sleep at all, and even if he did, he would wake up with a smile in his dreams!
Ling Yun alone was enough to trample on the aggressive Sun Family. Furthermore, he had trampled on them twice, and each time, the entire team was annihilated! In the end, even Sun Tianbiao was chopped into pieces!
Without a doubt, this was the happiest news Ling Lie had heard in the past eighteen years!
As long as Ling Yun returned, the rise of the Ling Family was just around the corner!
This was the Heavens blessing the Ling Family. This was a gift from the Heavens. How could Ling Lie sit still?
After drinking to his heart's content, he decided that no matter what, he had to sneak over to see his precious grandson.
Ling Lie didn't want to wait any longer. He carefully prepared the gift for Ling Yun, packed his luggage, and prepared to rush to Qingshui City. However, before he could leave Beijing, he received two pieces of shocking news!
Ling Lie's second son, Ling Yue, was missing! Ling Lie's third son, Ling Xiao, was missing!
He had tried all means of communication, but to no avail. He had searched every corner of the capital, but to no avail. He had vanished into thin air!
Misfortune was the source of fortune, and misfortune was the source of misfortune.
They found a grandson but lost two sons. This made things worse for the Ling Family. The head of the family, Ling Lie's hair, turned white overnight!
Extreme joy begets sorrow!
Ling Lie immediately knew that his third son, Ling Xiao, had lost the gamble to reunite with his son!
Even though 18 years had passed since that tragedy, the enemies of the Ling Family were still staring at the Ling Family from the shadows!
Ling Lie didn't know if his two sons were dead or alive. How would he dare to meet Ling Yun and bring trouble to his grandson that he had never met?
Ling Lie canceled his plan to meet Ling Yun in Qingshui City without hesitation. He summoned Cui Lao back to discuss countermeasures with the current head of the Ling Family, his only remaining son, Ling Zhen.
This was the reason why Ling Lie hadn't reached Qingshui City and why Cui Lao had suddenly left Mansion Number One.
However, Ling Lie, Ling Zhen, Cui Lao, and Ling Hao couldn't come up with a good solution even after a long discussion. The Ling Family didn't know why the enemy had captured Ling Yue and Ling Xiao!
Was it because they were looking for Ling Yun that the news was leaked? Or was it because his old enemies had come knocking on his door? He didn't know anything about this at all.
The enemy was in the dark while the Ling Family was out in the open. Grandfather Ling was afraid that something would happen to the Ling Family again, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only wait and endure.
Let Ling Yun return to the family?
It was impossible for the Ling Family to see Ling Yun's mother again. Now that Ling Yun's father, Ling Xiao, had suddenly disappeared, how were they going to acknowledge him?
Fortunately, only these four people and the few death warriors that the Ling Family had nurtured knew about Ling Yue and Ling Xiao's disappearance. As for the others, not even Ling Yue and Ling Xiao's wives and children knew about it, including Ling Xue.
Ling Lie didn't want things to get out of hand. He gave Ling Zhen a death order to not let this matter spread. Otherwise, he would be killed without mercy!
If anyone asked, Ling Lie would announce that Ling Yue was in seclusion and that Ling Xiao had made a mistake, so he was forcing him to reflect on it.
Days passed in the frenzy of searching in the dark and suffering of waiting. Just like that, the days passed.
For more than a month, news of Ling Yun occasionally came from Qingshui City, but Ling Lie didn't receive any news of his two sons.
Ling Yue and Ling Xiao had completely disappeared.
However, the strange thing was that Cui Lao, who had been in contact with Ling Yun, didn't encounter any unforeseen events!
On this day, Ling Lie, who was getting thinner by the day, finally called Cui Lao to his side.
The two old men looked at each other, and they could see the disappointment, hatred, anger, and helplessness in each other's eyes!
Ling Lie's room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard!
Finally, Cui Lao spoke first. His voice was a little hoarse. "Master, fortunately, nothing has happened to Young Master. You have to think things through, your health is more important …"
Ling Lie's voice was even more hoarse, and there was an uncontrollable rage in his body. "Think things through? How do you expect me to think things through? I, Ling Lie, have never lowered my head! "
"Xiao Er did make a mistake when he was young, but our Ling Family was besieged by both the righteous and evil sects. Xiao Er abandoned his wife and children and crippled his own martial arts. Our Ling Family suffered humiliation, and we endured humiliation with him for eighteen years. Isn't that enough?"
"Eighteen years! Even if Xiao Er's love for the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin was wrong, shouldn't he have paid for this punishment after eighteen years? Why do they still have to target our Ling Family? "
"Now, I finally found my grandson, but they snatched my two sons away. Cui Lao, tell me, how do you expect me to think things through?"
The humiliation that Ling Lie suffered finally exploded at this moment. He interrogated Cui Lao repeatedly to vent the frustration and humiliation in his heart!
Cui Lao was the only person Ling Lie could open his heart to. This was something even Ling Zhen couldn't do.
It wasn't that Ling Lie didn't trust his son, but he was the head of the family. If he, the backbone of the family, collapsed, the Ling Family would definitely be finished!
Cui Lao clenched his fists and waited quietly for Ling Lie to vent his anger and humiliation. He knew that Ling Lie wasn't willing to accept this!
Eighteen years ago, the Ling Family could almost be on par with the Long Family. But now, they had to rely on the Long Family to survive. They had to let the Long Family give them food and bear the awkward title of being one of the Seven Great Families in the capital. In reality, they had already become a laughing stock.
Ling Lie was old after all, and he gradually calmed down after venting his anger. However, this iron-like old man's face was already filled with tears.
"Family Head, I think things might not be as bad as we think." Cui Lao consoled with a choked voice.
"Think about it. First, Young Master Ling Yun is doing well in Qingshui City. Two days ago, I heard that he even brought back more than ten luxury cars. His clinic is about to open tomorrow … "
"Second, Ling Xue has been running around in the Heavenly Eagle Team, but she's still safe and sound. Also, Second Young Master's two children are also doing well without any problems …"
"I think this explains at least two things. First, the disappearance of Second Young Master and Third Young Master is most likely due to something else, and it has nothing to do with Young Master. Second, even if someone captured the two of them, they only wanted to use them as a card to play. They would only use them at the critical moment. Their lives should be safe."
"As the saying goes, every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If our enemies were to come knocking on our door, even if our Ling Family had a few more experts, we would not be able to kill them. There was no need for them to hide, and there was no need for them to capture the two young masters without giving us any information or clues. That would be completely unnecessary …"
Ling Lie couldn't collapse. If Ling Lie collapsed now, Young Master wouldn't be able to return to the family. His mother would be gone, his father would be gone, and even his grandfather would be gone. How would Ling Yun return to the family?
Therefore, even though Cui Lao's words weren't without reason, they were mainly to comfort Ling Lie.
Grandfather Ling was like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He lifted his head abruptly and wiped the tears off his face. "Cui Lao, what do you mean?" he asked in a low voice.
"What I mean is that I want to make a trip to Qingshui City on your behalf to meet Young Master …"
When Ling Lie heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. "Definitely not! With the Ling Family in such a state, how can I, as his grandfather, ask Ling Yun to return to the family? "
"Moreover, I still have a glimmer of hope that Ling Yun is fine now. If something were to happen to him, how would I be able to face Xiao Er and his poor wife?"
Ling Lie didn't want anything to happen to Ling Yun. As long as Ling Yun was fine, he would at least have a descendant even if the Ling Family was wiped out in Beijing!
With Ling Yun's current strength, the Ling Family would be able to rise again one day and dominate Huaxia!
Cui Lao shook his head slightly and coughed to clear his throat. "Family Head, forgive me for not agreeing with your point of view."
"That's because you don't understand Young Master. He's different from other hedonistic sons!"
Every time Ling Yun was mentioned, Cui Lao couldn't help but smile. He unconsciously revealed a gratified smile as he said, "Young Master is a genius. Those genius disciples from other families aren't even worthy of carrying his shoes!"
"His amazing medical skills, his cultivation speed, his endless trump cards, and his incredible abilities have long surpassed the knowledge of ordinary people, including us ancient martial arts cultivators!"
"Young Master's intellect is unparalleled. He's low-key when he needs to be and tyrannical when he needs to be. He might seem cold-blooded and heartless, but he's actually kind. He's decisive and never plays by the rules. At least, I've never seen him suffer a loss, no matter who he's facing!"
"I have full confidence that as long as the young master knows that he is a descendant of the Ling Family, as long as he is willing to acknowledge his ancestors, he alone will be able to bring the Ling Family out of this quagmire and once again rise up among the great families of Huaxia!"
Cui Lao was a man of few words, and he rarely praised anyone. Ling Lie was shocked that he could give such an evaluation of Ling Yun!
"Is my precious grandson really as powerful as you say?" Ling Lie was a little moved.
"But our Ling Family has so many enemies, and he's only eighteen years old …" Cui Lao knew that it was about time.
Cui Lao knew that it was about time. He smiled confidently and said, "Family Head, Young Master has a pretty good impression of me. If you don't worry, give me a month's time. At most a month, I promise to bring Young Master to you!"
