The giant Sun hung high in the sky, shedding down an infinite amount of light that shone down on this grand mansion.
In front of the Ling Mansion, two majestic stone lions stood there, glaring angrily at the Ling Mansion.
Ever since Ling Xian killed two foundational cultivators, the Ling Clan has unified the City of Qing and became the ruler of the city. However, these past few years, the Ling Clan did not behave as arrogantly as others imagined. Instead, they kept a low profile, as if they were no longer the ruler of the City of Qing.
However, everyone in the City of Qing knew that the Ling Clan was a giant that had been hiding. The shining young Heaven's Favorite was a powerhouse that no one could afford to provoke. Therefore, in the past few years, the Ling Clan's life has been peaceful and peaceful.
This could be seen from the front of the mansion. Normally, for a ruler like the Ling Clan, there should be an endless stream of visitors. But the exact opposite was the case. Not only was the Ling Mansion completely deserted, there wasn't even a single descendant standing guard.
However, at this moment, there was a perfect match made in heaven.
Of course, on the surface, they looked like a golden couple. In reality, they were not enemies, but at least they didn't like each other.
It was Ling Xian and Luo Xin Jie.
"The Ling Clan is finally back."
Staring at the two golden words on the plaque above the door, Ling Xian revealed a look of nostalgia. After a moment of silence, he exclaimed. Then, he walked closer and knocked on the door.
Dong, dong, dong …
After three knocks, the door suddenly parted. A white-haired elder poked his head out and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Ling Xian."
A faint smile appeared on Ling Xian's lips. Paired with his white robe that was fluttering in the wind, he truly looked imposing and elegant.
"Ling … Ling Xian?"
The elder's entire body shook. He slowly raised his head and stared deadly at the handsome young man before him. He asked uncertainly, "Which … which Ling Xian?"
"The Ling Clan, is there a second Ling Xian?" The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a warm smile. Like a gentleman, he was as warm as jade.
"Oh my god, am I dreaming?"
The elder was shaking from excitement. His murky eyes were no longer dim. Instead, they exploded with light and his voice quivered, "You … you really are Master Ling?"
"Of course it's real." Ling Xian softly grinned, "Elder, there is no need to ask. I am the Ling Xian you are thinking of."
The elder's face was full of excitement as he stared at Ling Xian. When he saw that Ling Xian's silhouette resembled that of eight years ago, his body began to shake even more violently. He mumbled, "God has eyes, God has eyes. I cannot believe that in my lifetime, I would be able to see Master Ling Xian again …"
"It doesn't have to be like this …"
Seeing how excited the elder was, Ling Xian smiled helplessly. He didn't think that his appearance would make the elder this excited.
He had forgotten that to the entire Ling Family, not only was he their savior, he was also the greatest pride of the Ling Family!
Every single descendant of the Ling Clan viewed him as their idol. Even the elders who were about to walk out of the City of Qing were proud of Ling Xian. Because of his unparalleled talent, because of the achievements he made for the Ling Clan, and because he was the only Heaven's Favorite who walked out of the City of Qing and stepped onto a bigger stage!
This was why the elder was so excited after recognizing Ling Xian.
Only after a long while did the elder recollect himself from his excitement. However, tears were still shimmering in his eyes. It wasn't hard to imagine how high of a position Ling Xian held in his heart. The moment Ling Xian appeared, he was crying tears of joy. How unbelievable was this?
"Haha, this is great. Master Ling, you are finally back."
The elder laughed out loud. His hunched back actually straightened up, as if Ling Xian was a spiritual Dan that made him ten years younger.
"Yes, I am back."
Ling Xian smiled warmly, his heart warmed. Even though he didn't know this elder, the fact that this person was so excited after seeing him proved that the Ling Clan didn't forget about him. Instead, he was imprinted in their hearts. How could he not feel warm?
"As long as you are back, as long as you are back …"
The elder's face was full of joy as he mumbled this to himself. Only after a long while did he recollect himself. Seeing that Ling Xian was still standing outside the door, he couldn't help but feel fearful, "I really deserve to die. I made you stand outside the door for so long. Old people sure are useless. I deserve to die."
"Don't worry about it. There is no need to blame yourself." Ling Xian waved his hand and comforted the elder's anxious heart.
"Master Ling, you are as generous as ever." The elder sighed in relief. It wasn't that he was afraid that Ling Xian would blame him, it was that he was too emotional and neglected Ling Xian.
After hearing Ling Xian's words, the elder's heart calmed down. He quickly pulled open the door and said, "Hurry … Master Ling, please come in."
"Okay." Ling Xian smiled and marched forward into the grand palace.
The moment he entered, the elder used all his strength and shouted into the air, "Master Ling is back!"
"Master Ling is back …"
Even though the old man looked frail and frail, he was still at the fifth level of qi training. His shout was like a clap of thunder, echoing through the entire Ling Clan.
In an instant, everyone in the Ling Clan heard this, and they all fell into a state of shock.
Which Master Ling?
Could it be … Master Ling Xian?
Everyone in the Ling Clan was dumbfounded. They suddenly remembered the only person worthy of the title "Master Ling" and their faces filled with joy. Then, they dropped everything they were doing and dashed towards the Ling Clan's door.
"Elder, there is no need to make such a big fuss."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He only wanted to see a few familiar faces and didn't want to disturb the entire Ling Clan. He didn't think that the moment he stepped through the door, the elder would spread the news of his return. Now that the entire Ling Clan had heard his words, he could forget about having a peaceful life.
"How can we do that? Your return is the most important thing for the Ling Clan. Master Ling, you don't know this, but everyone in the Ling Clan thinks of you as a hero and dreams of meeting you. "The elder chuckled.
"Whatever, they will find out sooner or later." Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. Realizing that there was no way he could hide the news of his return, he decided to let it go.
Just then, silhouettes dashed over from afar. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before Ling Xian.
Everyone's face was full of excitement and surprise. Staring at the silhouette in white, their eyes were full of respect, envy, and even admiration.
It was as if the person standing before them was not a person, but a hero from the legends.
It was true. To the Ling Clan, Ling Xian was a hero. When the Ling Clan was in danger, he stepped up and saved the Clan. Not only did he save the Ling Clan, he made the Clan even more glorious!
If this is not a hero, then what is?
