"Shanshan …"
Cao Junxiong, with a head of messy white hair and a face full of wrinkles, had a pair of dark red eyes that revealed endless sorrow. After confirming that Cao Shanshan was safe and sound, he called out Cao Shanshan's name again in a hoarse voice.
"Thank God, Shanshan, my precious daughter, you are finally out of danger!"
Both of Cao Xingchang's arms were tied up, and he stared with a pair of dark red eyes. His tall and cold body trembled violently, and his lips trembled. He tried his best to take two steps forward, and instinctively wanted to give Cao Shanshan a fatherly hug. However, he suddenly remembered his own situation, and stopped in his tracks. He choked and said.
"Daddy!"
Cao Shanshan could no longer control herself. She rushed forward crazily and threw herself into Cao Xingchang's arms, crying out loud.
"My dear daughter, it's good that you are back, it's good that you are safe. Don't cry, don't cry …"
Cao Xingchang was also a tough guy, but at this moment, no one could describe the emotions in his heart. Even though he was trying to persuade his daughter not to cry, his eyes were already filled with hot tears.
In the entire Cao Family, the person who doted on Cao Shanshan the most was her father, Cao Xingchang.
Since young, Cao Shanshan did not like living in Beijing. She wanted to live in Jiangnan. It was because of her father, Cao Xingchang, that she was allowed to study and live in Qingshui City in Jiangnan Province.
"Grandpa!"
Cao Shanshan cried in Cao Xingchang's arms for a while. Then, she twisted her body and threw herself into Cao Junxiong's arms, crying out loud again.
"My dear granddaughter, it's a good thing that Ling Yun was able to save you. Don't cry, it might hurt your vitality …"
Cao Junxiong's face was also full of tears. In his heart, he was worried that Cao Shanshan's emotions were too unstable and that her vitality would be greatly damaged. His arms were tied up, so he could only comfort her.
"Daughter, my daughter, you made me so worried! I thought I would never see you again in this life! "
Cao Shanshan's mother, Lu Qiongfang, also rushed out of the basement.
"Mommy!"
Cao Shanshan finally saw her mother. She threw herself into Lu Qiongfang's arms, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
…
"Shanshan!"
"Shanshan is back!"
In the blink of an eye, the other members of the Cao Family rushed out of their rooms one after another and exclaimed in excitement.
The whole basement was filled with the sound of crying.
At this point, the entire Cao Family was finally able to reunite after experiencing the calamity of almost being exterminated.
The entire scene was extremely miserable, filled with endless pain and sorrow. Even Ling Yun, who had a heart of steel, could not help but sigh.
After a long time, the sobbing in the basement gradually became softer. Finally, only the sobbing of Cao Shanshan, her daughter, and the other three female members of the Cao Family could be heard.
Cao Shanshan had just met up with her family. It wouldn't be appropriate to keep them in the basement. He sent a telepathic message to Cao Tianlong before exiting the basement and arriving at the courtyard house.
He released his divine sense and carefully checked the surroundings of the courtyard house. Everything was normal. Ling Yun nodded slightly and returned to the entrance of the basement. He released a gust of wind from his palm and directly broke the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation.
The white fog in front of him dissipated.
"Grandpa Cao, Uncle Cao, I'm really sorry for making you stay in this small basement for the past few days …"
Ling Yun said apologetically to Cao Xingchang and Cao Junxiong as he stood at the entrance of the basement and looked at the group of people from the Cao Family huddled together in the narrow tunnel.
Chen Jianjie was dead, Chen Jianwei was captured alive by Ling Yun, and more than two hundred Blood Clan servants sent by Grand Duke Dracula were all killed by Ling Yun, except for Marquis Edward, who received The Embrace …
Needless to say, the Chen Family would be in complete chaos if they knew about the situation!
At least tonight, the Chen Family would definitely not care about Ling Yun.
On the Cao Family's side, the ten people who received The Embrace from Chen Jianwei had completely broken free from the control of the Evil Eye with the help of the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone. They were all extremely clear-headed. It wasn't easy for the Cao Family to reunite, and Ling Yun had to give them a normal environment to talk in.
Ling Yun's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Cao Family. He was now the benefactor of the Cao Family.
Seeing that Ling Yun was so thoughtful, Cao Tianlong looked at Ling Yun gratefully before turning to look at his grandfather and father.
"Alright, let's talk outside." Cao Junxiong agreed immediately.
The ten people from the Cao Family might have received The Embrace, but they still had their humanity and longed for a normal life in their hearts. They were bored out of their wits after holding it in for so long. Therefore, Old Master Cao was very straightforward.
Ling Yun didn't say much. His figure flashed, and he quietly moved to the side. He watched as the members of the Cao Family filed out of the basement and into the courtyard of the courtyard house.
"Shanshan, don't be too sad. Business is more important."
When Cao Shanshan walked past Ling Yun, she looked at him gratefully with her swollen eyes. Ling Yun gave her a look of "I'm here for everything" and sent a telepathic message at the same time.
The lights in the courtyard weren't switched on at all. There was only weak light coming from the tall buildings nearby. This kind of light didn't affect the Cao Family at all.
"Grandpa Cao, Uncle Cao, I still have something to say. Let's all go into the living room and rest for a while before we continue."
Ling Yun thought it through and spoke respectfully to Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang once again. Then, he secretly gave Cao Tianlong a look.
It could be said that the lives of the entire Cao Family were saved by Ling Yun alone. Such a huge favor couldn't be brushed off with words like 'a drop of water shall be returned with a spring of water'. Therefore, Cao Junxiong didn't stand on ceremony with Ling Yun on this matter. He directly invited the Cao Family into the north house.
Only Cao Tianlong stayed outside temporarily.
"Ling Yun, what's the matter?" Cao Tianlong asked Ling Yun.
"Shanshan is safe and sound. Everything is fine. She's much stronger than we thought. You don't have to worry too much."
Ling Yun sent a telepathic message to Cao Tianlong to reassure him.
Then, Ling Yun continued, "Now that Shanshan is back, the most stressful and difficult days are over. I see that your family is recovering well. When you go in later, tell them to freshen up. I'll keep an eye on the door. Come out and call me when they're done."
Even though the Cao Family had encountered a great calamity, they were still one of the top families in Huaxia. What they cared about the most was their reputation.
Ling Yun said to Cao Junxiong and his son to freshen up. In fact, he meant to give them enough time to freshen up. However, he couldn't say that in front of everyone.
"Oh right, let me tell you something. When I rescued Shanshan tonight, I killed Chen Jianjie from the Chen Family and captured Chen Jianwei alive. You can tell them about this when you go in later."
Right now, for the Cao Clan, the most important thing was to boost their morale and restore their confidence. This was of utmost importance.
"What! Killed Chen Jianjie! And captured Chen Jianwei alive! "
Cao Tianlong was stunned.
"Shanshan knows everything. You can go in and ask her about the details. I'll be going out first." Ling Yun sent a telepathic message to Cao Tianlong.
With that, Ling Yun flew out of the courtyard house and handed it over to the Cao Family.
The courtyard house of the Ling Family was located in the northwest corner of Beijing, close to the Fifth Ring Road. It was surrounded by Baiwang Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain, Xishan Mountain, and the Beijing Botanical Garden. The mountains were undulating, and the trees were lush. The environment was indescribably good.
After exiting the courtyard, Ling Yun circled around the courtyard house twice to observe the surroundings. Then, he found a secluded place to give Tang Meng a call.
The content of the call was simple. He asked Tang Meng to wait for him in the hotel. He would go over no matter how late it was.
Tang Meng hadn't seen Ling Yun since he came to Beijing. Now that he knew that Ling Yun's college entrance examination results were sabotaged, he was furious. Of course, he would wait for Ling Yun.
Ling Yun told Tang Meng to calm down and said that he was going over to discuss this matter. Then, he hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yun found a bench and sat down. He looked at the top of the mountain not far away and fell into deep thought. His mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
Troublesome, so damn troublesome …
Ling Yun sighed in his heart after thinking for a long time. He just couldn't stop worrying!
The fact that he scored zero in the college entrance examination made Ling Yun really unhappy.
Even though he tried his best to hide the fact that he was a cultivator in the city, that was because he didn't want to use something as shocking as cultivation to gain the limelight. The main reason was that his realm wasn't high enough, and he was still at the stage of self-preservation. That was to be expected. After all, Earth was too mysterious.
However, Ling Yun didn't care about a mere college entrance examination. In his heart, he had studied so hard for more than half a month because he wanted to compete with the many geniuses in Huaxia.
To put it bluntly, Ling Yun's goal for the college entrance examination was to score full marks!
And it was to score full marks in every subject!
Unless it was a language essay, that would depend on the marking teacher. He couldn't do anything about it.
Who would have thought that he would be tricked in the sacred college entrance examination in the eyes of countless ordinary families in Huaxia? Big Brother Yun felt like he had swallowed a fly when he thought about it.
Don't let me find out if you're so capable. Just wait for your death if I find out!
In the darkness, Ling Yun's eyebrows arched. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a mysterious smile.
However, the most important thing now is to think of a way to save the ten people from the Cao Family …
After thinking quietly for a while, Ling Yun muttered to himself again.
Capturing Chen Jianwei alive was to save the Cao Family. Just now, Ling Yun's heart broke when he saw the pain in Cao Shanshan's eyes as she looked at her own kin.
Cao Tianlong came out half an hour later to find Ling Yun.
"Ling Yun, my grandpa invites you in."
