"Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
Ling Yun smiled and stood up from the bench. His handsome face was full of calmness and calmness, naturally displaying a strong sense of confidence.
The Chen family was in complete chaos, and the Cao family began to be safe. The ten people of the Cao family who had their hands and feet tied up finally had a chance to breathe. They could walk out of the safe but suffocating basement, and they were able to move freely.
However, this was the first time, and Ling Yun was still worried. He didn't go far and didn't conceal his aura. That was why Cao Tianlong was able to locate him the moment he came out.
Cao Tianlong understood what Ling Yun meant. He smiled gratefully at Ling Yun. "It's alright, I've already let them drink fresh blood before you came back."
Cao Tianlong's masculine face looked a little unnatural when he talked about his family drinking fresh blood. After all, the ten people in the courtyard were his closest relatives, including his grandfather and biological parents.
Cao Tianlong had to personally take care of his relatives, drink the fresh blood of animals, and take care of their daily necessities. He also had to be on guard against any one of them. If they couldn't resist attacking him, he had to tie them up carefully with ropes before he went to sleep …
This in itself was a kind of inhuman torture, a kind of heart-wrenching torture, the greatest pain in the world!
However, Cao Tianlong was a real man. He endured it!
"It wasn't easy. Bear with it, it'll be over soon!"
There was no need for words between real hot-blooded men. Ling Yun knew what Cao Tianlong was thinking just by looking at his expression. He walked in front of Cao Tianlong and patted him on the shoulder naturally.
Ling Yun had been fighting for the past few days since he returned to Beijing. He experienced life and death battles every day. Moreover, he had to plan every step carefully until he succeeded in rescuing Cao Shanshan.
While Ling Yun was fighting, Cao Tianlong, who had been quietly staying in the small basement, was also fighting another battle.
A battle of the soul, a baptism of the soul!
When Ling Yun's big hand landed on Cao Tianlong's shoulder, Cao Tianlong couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He pursed his lips tightly, wrinkled his nose, and took a deep breath to force back the hot tears that were about to spill out of his eyes.
"You're the one who didn't have it easy. I can't even imagine how you did it alone!"
Was Cao Tianlong shocked? Absolutely!
Going to Qingshui City to look for Ling Yun was just Cao Tianlong's attitude. To be honest, he was just trying his luck!
In other words, Ling Yun was the only support he could think of when his family was destroyed and he was isolated and helpless. At the very least, having someone to help him out and listen to his complaints in times of crisis was good enough for Cao Tianlong to hold on!
Against the Chen Family? Against the Blood Clan? Save the Cao Family?
Even if the entire Dragon Team or Heavenly Team were to take action, it would still be possible. Cao Tianlong and Ling Yun alone would be a joke!
What Cao Tianlong didn't expect was that when he begged for a drop of water, Ling Yun would give him an ocean. When he begged for a blade of grass, Ling Yun would give him a vast grassland!
In just a few days, in the face of difficulties and pressure that ordinary people couldn't bear, in the face of many powerful enemies, he single-handedly saved the entire Cao Family!
Such kindness was indeed not something that could be repaid with just a few words or words of 'I can't return the favor' or something like that.
Therefore, be it Cao Junxiong, Cao Xingchang, or even Cao Tianlong, they all felt embarrassed to thank Ling Yun again.
The most crucial point was that Ling Yun had done so much for the Cao Family, and he hadn't asked for a single thing from the Cao Family!
"Really, just because of my sister Shanshan?"
In the past few days, Cao Tianlong had been asking himself this question countless times as he received news of Ling Yun's victory.
Back then, Cao Shanshan had praised Ling Yun like a flower on the phone. Cao Tianlong had even teased his own sister. He was also a person that the Cao Family had focused on grooming. He had his own strengths and knew that he wasn't weaker than others. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't believe that a classmate of his sister's could be stronger than him.
However, after he met Ling Yun for real, Cao Tianlong understood that comparing him to Ling Yun was like comparing a candle to the sun. The distance between the clouds and the mud was like the distance between heaven and earth. The two of them were worlds apart …
To put it simply, they couldn't be compared at all.
Ling Yun gave Cao Tianlong a sincere smile again. The dimple on his left cheek trembled slightly as he said seriously, "Some things will definitely have good results as long as you work hard. At the very least, things will develop in a good direction …"
"Let's go!"
With that, Ling Yun didn't say anything else. He took big strides and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard house.
Cao Tianlong was stunned for a moment as he recalled Ling Yun's words. As long as you work hard …
After being stunned for a moment, Cao Tianlong's eyebrows arched as he nodded heavily. His eyes became incomparably determined as he caught up with Ling Yun in a flash.
Ling Yun was shocked by the scene in front of him as he entered the courtyard side by side with Cao Tianlong.
The eleven members of the Cao Family, including Cao Shan Shan, were all standing quietly in the courtyard. Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang were in front, while the other nine were dressed neatly and stood in a straight line. It seemed like they had been standing in the courtyard for a long time.
All of them had solemn expressions on their faces, as if they were soldiers participating in a military parade on National Day. They were all waiting for Ling Yun to enter.
What's going on? Why are they so serious … Ling Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Ling Yun was shocked and couldn't help but look at Cao Shanshan, hoping to find some clues from her face. However, he didn't expect to see Cao Shanshan's beautiful and joyful gaze.
"Cao Tianlong, come here!"
Before Ling Yun could react, Cao Junxiong had already asked Cao Tianlong to go over. Cao Tianlong already knew what Grandpa Tang was going to do. In a flash, he arrived beside his grandfather and father and stood solemnly with his hands in front of his chest.
"Grandfather, let's talk in the house. What are you doing …"
Ling Yun's expression was as if he was looking at a western scenery. It was as if Granny Liu had entered the Grand View Garden and seen something strange. He was a little confused.
"Kneel!"
Cao Junxiong didn't reply. His expression was solemn as his eyes and expression carried an indescribable emotion and gratitude. He shouted loudly, "Kneel!"
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …
Without exception, all twelve members of the Cao Family knelt on the ground. They all fell to their knees in front of Ling Yun!
"Sigh … This …"
Ling Yun panicked when he saw his grandfather's sudden action. He hurriedly used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and floated eighteen meters away from his original position to the high wall of the courtyard house.
At the same time, Ling Yun exclaimed in shock, "Grandfather, what are you doing? I can't take this!"
Cao Junxiong, Cao Xingchang, Lu Qiongfang, Cao Tianlong, Cao Shanshan … The twelve members of the Cao Family all knelt on the ground. How could Ling Yun take this?
Cao Junxiong's eyes were like torches. He was the only one who barely caught Ling Yun's figure. He knew that the Cao Family was too slow. Ling Yun had already reached the wall before their knees even touched the ground.
They only knelt in front of Ling Yun's afterimage.
Grandfather Cao panicked!
"Ling Yun, no matter what, you have to accept this kowtow from everyone in the Cao Family. You have done us a great favor this time, I …"
Grandfather Cao Junxiong knelt on the ground and twisted his neck to look at Ling Yun, who was hiding far away. His pale face was flushed as he spoke incoherently.
Other than kneeling, what else could he do? Grandfather Cao really didn't have a choice!
Ling Yun was a hot-blooded man. To be honest, whether it was in the Cultivation World or this world, he had never experienced such a situation. In an instant, he had gone from being an iron-willed and unparalleled man to being even more bashful than a shy wife.
This was too much, too much. Grandfather Cao had really crossed the line!
"Old Master, get up, get everyone up. I, Ling Yun, can't accept your kneeling. This is too much for me!"
Ling Yun was flustered. He hid in the corner and waved his hands at Grandfather Cao Junxiong.
How could Ling Yun not be anxious? Among the twelve people, there was Cao Shanshan, who he had just rescued, as well as Cao Shanshan's grandfather, parents, and brother. This problem was too serious.
Unfortunately, Ling Yun's words were useless. Cao Junxiong was at the front. If he didn't get up, who in the Cao Family would get up?
Moreover, everyone in the Cao Family knew that it was Ling Yun who single-handedly saved their entire Cao Family!
They were more than willing to thank Ling Yun. There was no need for Grandpa Sheng to say anything.
Ling Yun didn't accept it, and everyone in the Cao Family didn't get up. The atmosphere in the courtyard became incomparably strange.
"Ling Yun, now is not the time to think about seniority, nor is it the time to discuss other ethical concepts. Now is the time for the Cao Family to express our gratitude to you. Thank you for saving our lives. If you don't accept it, we won't be able to rest easy …"
Grandfather Cao was still kneeling there, getting more and more agitated as he spoke. This was the truth.
"This …"
Even if Cao Junxiong tried to persuade him, Ling Yun still wouldn't accept it. He almost couldn't resist jumping over the wall and running away.
After thinking for a long time, Ling Yun said helplessly, "Grandfather, I appreciate your kindness. Saving you was my duty. Moreover … it was just a small effort. It's not as troublesome as you think. We still have many important things to discuss. Even if you want to thank me, there's no rush, right?"
As he spoke, Ling Yun shot a look at Cao Shanshan, who was quietly kneeling on the ground, her beautiful eyes staring at Ling Yun without blinking.
His meaning was obvious. He wanted Cao Shanshan to persuade her grandfather to stop messing around. (To be continued.)
