"Yun Er, Grandpa's injuries aren't serious. Come over and greet your First Uncle and Second Uncle …"
As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they meet with happy events. Ling Lie had been waiting day and night for his precious grandson to arrive. Now, Ling Yun was standing right in front of him. He held onto Ling Yun's hand and was overjoyed. His already serious internal injuries had actually improved a little.
Ling Zhen and Ling Yue had already arrived in front of Ling Yun. Ling Lie let go of Ling Yun's hand and pointed at Ling Zhen. "This is your First Uncle, the current head of the Ling Family …"
Ling Yun's divine sense enveloped the sixth and seventh courtyards. He had long seen Ling Zhen. He had seen everyone's photos and knew that this was Ling Zhen. He stood solemnly and bowed slightly. "Ling Yun greets Uncle!"
Ling Yun didn't kneel!
In Ling Yun's eyes, only Ling Lie and Ling Xiao were worthy of Ling Yun's kneeling. The rest were out of the question!
A hint of anger flashed across Ling Zhen's eyes. His heart suddenly sank, and he was rather unhappy. However, he was a person of great stature. He immediately patted Ling Yun's shoulder and smiled warmly. "Ling Yun, Third Brother's son. Good, good, good!"
Ling Zhen said "good" three times in a row. "You've just arrived in Beijing, right? You killed your way into the Chen Family and saved your Second Uncle. The Ling Family was almost wiped out, and it's all thanks to you that you came in time. Good child, it's good that you're home! "
"You've just returned to the Ling Family, and you've already accomplished so much. You're the hero of the Ling Family. However, we've been looking for you for so long!"
Ling Zhen's expression was calm and steady. He had the amiability of an First Uncle and the bearing of a Head of the Family. His performance was impeccable.
Ling Yun smiled faintly. "Thanks for the trouble, First Uncle …"
Ling Lie was a little stunned that Ling Yun didn't kowtow to Ling Zhen. However, he had heard from Cui Lao many times and understood Ling Yun's temperament. Moreover, Ling Yun had just returned to the Ling Family, so he couldn't be blamed for not following the formalities.
Furthermore, even if Ling Zhen wanted to blame Ling Yun, Ling Lie wouldn't let him. It wasn't easy to find this grandson of his. Ling Lie wouldn't mind even if Ling Yun didn't kowtow to Ling Lie.
Ling Lie smiled and introduced Ling Yue to Ling Yun. "Yun Er, this is your second uncle, Ling Yue …"
"Ling Yun greets Second Uncle!"
Ling Yun bowed slightly to Ling Yue and smiled.
"Good boy, it's good that you're back! For so many years, you've suffered alone outside! You risked your life to rescue Second Uncle from the Chen Family. After tonight, Second Uncle has to thank you properly! "
Ling Yue was the brains of the Ling Family, the most intelligent person in the family. He wouldn't care about whether Ling Yun knelt or not. Ling Yun had even saved his life, twice in one night. What was there to be bothered about? Ling Yun had saved his life twice in one night.
Furthermore, this was the first time Ling Yun had returned home. He hadn't even entered the Ling Family's ancestral hall yet. There was no need to go through so much trouble to face the corpses on the ground.
Therefore, Ling Yue's words were much more cordial. There weren't any pleasantries. Instead, there was a strong sense of kinship.
"It's a pity Third Brother isn't here …"
Ling Yue looked at the heroic Ling Yun and wondered how happy his third brother would be if he was at home and saw such an outstanding son.
"Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, Ling Li, come here. This is your Third Uncle's biological son. From now on, you have to treat him like real siblings!"
Ling Yue turned around and pulled Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, and Ling Li in front of him and introduced them to Ling Yun.
"Yun Er, you're eighteen this year, right?" Ling Lie asked Ling Yun with a smile. The love in his eyes made Ling Xiu, who used to be the most doted on by Ling Lie, envious.
However, there wasn't the slightest bit of jealousy. Ling Xiu only took one look at Ling Yun and treated him like her biological brother.
The three of them were the only ones in the Ling Family who didn't suffer any internal injuries. Of course, they suffered quite a bit of external injuries, but they weren't serious under the protection of the Ling Family's men of sacrifice. They had long been healed with the Healing Talismans, so they were all alive and kicking.
Was there a need to ask? Eighteen years ago, the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect was already nine months pregnant and was about to give birth. Ling Yun was naturally eighteen years old.
"You're only eighteen years old. Quick, call me Big Sister …" Ling Xiu pursed her lips and came to Ling Yun's side. She took the initiative to hug Ling Yun's shoulders like a typical big sister.
"Hello, Big Sister …" Ling Yun wasn't used to Ling Xiu being so intimate with him.
"This is Ling Feng, twenty years old this year. He's also older than you. You have to call him Big Brother!"
Ling Xiu pointed at the excited Ling Feng and introduced him to Ling Yun.
"Hello, Big Brother …" It couldn't be helped. Ling Feng's age was there, so he had to address him. This wasn't based on martial arts realms, but on age.
Ling Feng was very excited. He laughed and said, "Just call me Third Brother. Hehe, Fourth Brother, you're really impressive and domineering!"
Alright, Ling Feng might as well address Ling Yun as Fourth Brother.
Without waiting for Ling Yun to speak, Ling Xiu glared at Ling Feng and said, "What Fourth Brother? Isn't your Big Sister human? Ling Yun is obviously Fifth Brother! "
At this point, among the younger generation of the Ling Family, Ling Hao, Ling Yong, Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, Ling Yun, Ling Li, and Ling Xue, seven in total. Ling Yun was indeed Fifth Brother.
However, according to normal rules, women weren't included in the family tree. Only men were counted, so Ling Yun was indeed Fourth Brother.
When Ling Feng saw Ling Xiu glaring at him, he immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak. Ling Xiu continued, "Hmph, I'll settle the score with you after tonight. Ling Yun, this is Ling Li. He just turned seventeen, so he should call you Big Brother …"
"Fifth Brother, you're too amazing. I even wanted to call you Master just now!"
Ling Li was indeed smart and quick-witted. After being taught a lesson by Ling Feng, he directly addressed Ling Yun as Fifth Brother. Ling Li couldn't afford to offend his Big Sister.
"You're also very amazing. Your martial arts aren't bad …" Ling Yun finally became a Big Brother for once. He smiled and patted Ling Li's shoulder lightly.
Ling Yun's return to the family was immediately welcomed by everyone in the Ling Family. He became the focus of everyone's attention. This strong familial love made Ling Yun feel warm.
Ling Lie and his two sons couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene. There was nothing more joyous than being reunited with one's family after surviving a calamity.
"Yun Er, Grandpa knows that your medical skills are superb. Just now, Cui Lao saved the three of us. His injuries are the most serious, so you should go and save him first!"
Ling Lie didn't forget about Cui Lao even though he was extremely happy. He asked Ling Yun to save Cui Lao first.
"Then Grandpa, you …"
Ling Yun used his divine sense to scan everyone's injuries. He knew that the one with the most serious injuries was indeed Cui Lao, followed by Ling Yong. However, these injuries were something that could be healed in a matter of minutes. Hence, it didn't matter who he saved first.
"Grandpa is fine. To be able to see you, all injuries have to be put aside. Listen to Grandpa and save Cui Lao first!"
Ling Lie insisted that Ling Yun save Cui Lao first. Such a loyal servant was extremely rare. Ling Lie treated Cui Lao like his own family.
Everyone arrived at the seventh courtyard very quickly. Ling Yun didn't delay any further. He flew to Cui Lao's side and knelt down. "Cui Lao, Ling Yun is late. I'm sorry to have made you suffer …"
"Cough cough … Young Master, I'm not suffering. I'm very happy to see Young Master acknowledge his ancestors and return to the family! Cough cough cough … "
Cui Lao's face was sallow, and his body was covered in cold sweat. He forced himself to speak and coughed out a large mouthful of blood.
"Don't speak first. I'll treat your injuries first!"
Ling Yun stopped Cui Lao from speaking. He took out the piece of Divine Willow Wood that Cui Lao had given him in Qingshui City!
Strong and unparalleled Wood Spiritual Energy filled the entire courtyard. It was refreshing and beautiful. In just a few seconds, the pungent smell of blood in the Ling Family was completely cleansed!
Everyone in the courtyard breathed in the strong Wood Spiritual Qi through their mouths and noses, and they couldn't help but feel refreshed!
Now, the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood in Ling Yun's spatial ring had already grown jade-green branches. Some of the branches at the top of the Divine Willow Wood were already as long as an adult's finger. They were filled with willow leaf-shaped leaves. They were jade-green and glowed brilliantly. They emitted a strong and pure Wood Spiritual Energy.
This was the result of Ling Yun's insistence on using his own precious blood and Black Yellow True Qi to continuously inject Spiritual Energy into the Divine Willow Wood every day. Other than the lack of roots, the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood had completely become two trees.
"This is …"
"Oh my god!"
"Erm …"
Ling Lie, Ling Zhen, and Ling Yue were stunned once again! Completely stunned!
As the core members of the Ling Family, how could they not recognize that this piece of Divine Willow Wood was the inheritance of the Ling Family?
There were so many people in the Ling Family, including three Xiantian Realm masters and so many Houtian Realm Level Eight and Nine juniors. After 18 years of watering it with the blood of the Ling Family and instilling Black Yellow True Qi into it, this piece of wood had only grown a tender shoot.
However, Ling Lie knew that he had only asked Cui Lao to pass this piece of dead wood to Ling Yun for slightly more than a month. How could it be so full of life now?
Ling Lie was stunned. How many more heaven-defying things did this precious grandson of his do?
Ling Zhen was even more shocked. At the same time, his expression became a little awkward. He would never have imagined that Grandpa Ling would secretly pass the Ling Family's inheritance to Ling Yun.
Moreover, what shocked him even more was that this piece of dead wood had actually regained its vitality in Ling Yun's hands. This was unbelievable!
After Ling Yue recovered from his shock, he didn't say anything. He glanced at Ling Zhen casually before looking at his old father. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the Divine Willow Wood like an old monk in meditation. He was lost in thought for a long time as many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Ling Yun didn't take out the Divine Willow Wood for them to admire. He quickly absorbed the powerful Wood Spiritual Energy released by the Divine Willow Wood and sat behind Cui Lao in a flash. He pressed both his palms on Cui Lao's back and circulated the Yin-Yang harmony balance to repair Cui Lao's meridians and internal injuries.
In less than two minutes, Cui Lao's internal injuries were completely healed. His face became rosier, and the True Qi in his body flowed more smoothly. He stood up at the same time as Ling Yun.
"Ling Family's old servant, Cui Zhongwu, pays his respects to Young Master. Thank you for saving my life!"
After Cui Lao stood up, he once again knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Ling Yun.
"Ling Family's men of sacrifice pay their respects to Young Master. Thank you for saving my life!"
As Cui Lao knelt down, the remaining 36 men of sacrifice followed suit. Their eyes were filled with passion as they shouted in unison. Their voices shook the heavens! (To be continued.)
