At night, the Ling Residence was like a dormant monster, emitting a terrifying light. After more than a hundred years of operation, the rules of the Ling Residence had become stricter and stricter.
Ling Dong followed behind Ling Yuanshan. Every time they turned a corner, a servant would greet them in a low voice. Occasionally, a group of patrolling guards would pass by.
There were countless courtyards in the Ling Residence. Anyone who had some status in the Ling family would have a courtyard of their own.
However, Ling Dong's mother had passed away early, and his father, Ling Yuanshan, was still single. Both father and son lived in the same courtyard. Usually, they would only be separated by their front and back. Thus, the courtyard where Ling Yuanshan received guests was not far from the living room.
Through the window of the living room, Ling Dong could faintly see a figure that was as strong as a bear, slowly sipping tea. In a flash, his father, Ling Yuanshan, had already reached the entrance of the living room. That strong figure quickly came out to welcome him.
"It's so late at night, and big brother is so late. Could it be that we have disturbed big brother's happy occasion?" A forthright voice with a hint of a joke sounded. At the same time, it made one's impression of him much better. This was the voice of Ling Yuanshan's second brother, Ling Dong's second uncle, Ling Zhengshan.
Hearing this forthright voice, Ling Dong's fists inexplicably tightened!
The first impression that Ling Zhengshan gave everyone was that he was forthright and did not bother about trifles. He was a reliable and trustworthy person. However, if you really had such thoughts, then you would be gravely mistaken. There would be a time when it would be too late for regrets.
In his previous life, before the brothel incident, Ling Zhengshan had always been Ling Dong's good second uncle! However, it was this good second uncle who was the mastermind behind the scenes that caused Ling Dong's reputation to be tarnished. He had identified Ling Dong as Ling Yuanshan's weakness and had specifically targeted Ling Dong to influence Ling Yuanshan.
"Second brother, third brother, you are here!" Compared to Ling Zhengshan's enthusiasm, his father, Ling Yuanshan, cupped his hands coldly. Through Ling Dong, Ling Yuanshan already knew that the Ling family and Zuo family members had joined forces to scheme against his child. The mastermind behind the scenes, who else could it be other than his two brothers?
After Ling Dong, Ling An, and Ling Zhuo, whose cheeks were as swollen as buns, greeted the three brothers, Ling Zhengshan and Ling Tieshan, who had squinted his eyes as he sipping tea. After exchanging glances, they stood up and said in a clear voice, "We are here to congratulate big brother!"
"Congratulate him? Why didn't I know about it? " Usually, Ling Yuanshan had a good relationship with his two brothers. However, today, no matter how he looked at them, he didn't find them pleasing to the eye. It was probably due to Ling Dong's influence that his expression was cold and indifferent. He only held a teacup and slowly sipped from it.
"What? Big brother, you still don't know?" Ling Zhengshan pretended to be surprised, "Today, Dong 'er greatly increased the prestige of our Ling family. He defeated Zuo Guangzong, the Little Gambling God of the Zuo family, to a pulp!"
At this point, Ling Zhengshan noticed that his big brother still had a cold expression on his face. He knew what was going on. Without waiting for Ling Yuanshan to reply, he continued, "Winning some money is a small matter. However, big brother, do you know that Dong 'er won a treasure today? It's the Innate Wood Dipper Bead, the Innate Wood Dipper Bead that can double the effect of cultivation with half the effort! "
In the guest hall, Ling Zhengshan was dancing with joy like a monkey. Ling Yuanshan and Ling Dong were watching coldly from the side.
"Dong 'er already told me!" Ling Yuanshan said indifferently, causing Ling Zhengshan to feel even more embarrassed.
However, Ling Dong underestimated the thickness of Ling Zhengshan's skin. Even in such an awkward situation, he still acted as if nothing had happened. He excitedly walked to Ling Yuanshan and rubbed his hands together, "Big brother, this is great news! The Zuo family spent a lot of effort to get the Innate Wood Dipper Bead, but Dong 'er got it. I'm guessing that the Zuo family will not let this matter rest!
That's why Tie Shan and I came to disturb you so late at night. Before the Zuo family makes a move, we should arrange for people to guard the Innate Wood Dipper Bead. We should also set the rules for using the Innate Wood Dipper Bead as soon as possible so that the members of the Ling family can take turns using the Innate Wood Dipper Bead and quickly improve the cultivation of the men of the Ling family! "Ling Zhengshan emphasized the words' take turns using the Innate Wood Dipper Bead '.
When these shameless words were spoken, even Ling An and Ling Zhuo lowered their heads. Their swollen cheeks were abnormally hot.
Ling Yuanshan didn't say anything. He only glanced at Ling Dong. Since this matter was handed over to Ling Dong, then it would be Ling Dong who would do it. This was Ling Yuanshan's nature.
After receiving his father's hint, Ling Dong immediately rushed up angrily, "Second uncle, how can you be so shameless? This is obviously something that I won. How did it become the family's property and we have to take turns using it? Even if you want to go to the brothel to play with fans, you should at least talk about the price. Shouldn't it be consensual? "
When Ling Dong's words came out, everyone was stunned. Even Ling Yuanshan was stunned. In his heart, he felt a little regretful. This child was still too inexperienced. How could he say such shameless words out loud?
Even Ling An and Ling Zhuo, who had just been reprimanded, praised Ling Dong for having guts. After praising him, they also felt some disdain for him. He was too impatient and lacked shrewdness.
Ling Zhengshan's face darkened. However, he waved his hand at Ling Yuanshan. "Big brother, you have a good upbringing!"
Ling Yuanshan was about to say something, but Ling Dong beat him to it. He took a step forward, pointed at Ling Dong's nose and scolded, "Second uncle, who is the one with no upbringing?"
"This is something that a junior like me won. You directly took it to the family's property and even took turns using it. If this isn't shameless, then what is? Your nephew is only speaking the truth. Father, didn't you teach me to be honest? "
As he said this, Ling Dong's lips curled into a mocking smile. He asked in return, "Father, third uncle, did I say something wrong? Is it wrong to be honest?"
Ling Yuanshan was stunned. Lao San, Ling Tieshan, and the black-faced Ling Zhengshan were also stunned.
With just one sentence, Ling Dong had confirmed that Ling Dong was shamelessly robbing a junior. He also said in a childish tone that a person must be honest. Did the three of them shamelessly teach Ling Dong that a person shouldn't be too honest?
Ling Yuanshan didn't say anything. Ling Zhengshan and Ling Tieshan were anxious. They weren't willing to be shut up by Ling Dong. Ling Zhengshan couldn't refute Ling Dong, but Ling Tieshan, the elder who temporarily stayed out of the matter, could!
"Ahem!" Ling Tieshan coughed twice before saying, "Dong-er, this Innate Wood Astral Pearl was indeed won by you. However, it's wrong of you to say that about your second uncle. You …"
"Third uncle, so you also think that it's shameless of me to take the Innate Wood Astral Pearl to the family's property? If it's wrong of me to say that, then what should I say? "Ling Dong directly interrupted Ling Tieshan, causing Ling Zhengshan's face to darken again.
"Since it's wrong to say that second uncle is shameless, then you should say it the other way around!" As he said this, Ling Dong solemnly walked in front of Ling Zhengshan and bowed slightly. "Second uncle, I was too direct earlier. I know what I should do now."
Seeing that Ling Dong seemed to be apologizing, Ling Zhengshan and Ling Tieshan were stunned for a moment before their expressions relaxed. Even Ling Zhengshan, who was humiliated by Ling Dong, pretended to be magnanimous and said, "We're family. It's fine, we'll know in the future!"
Ling Zhengshan was just casually brushing Ling Dong off. However, he didn't expect that Ling Dong would take it seriously. "Yes, second uncle. I should say that second uncle is very shameless in the future!"
The simple words' very shameless in the future 'were deliberately emphasized by Ling Dong. It was incomparably sarcastic and even more hurtful than his previous shamelessness!
"Pfft!" Ling An and Ling Zhuo, who had their heads lowered, couldn't help but laugh. They wanted to say something, but they were shocked by Ling Zhengshan's expression!
Ling Zhengshan's face instantly froze and darkened. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he pointed at Ling Dong. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say a single word! In front of Ling Yuanshan, he didn't know whether to flare up or not. It was extremely uncomfortable!
Ling Tieshan, who was about to sit down, was also stunned. Ling Dong's words were too hurtful, weren't they?
Ling Yuanshan, on the other hand, was mulling over his son's words. You don't say, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed somewhat skewed!
"Eh? Second uncle, why is your face so ugly? Did I say something wrong again? "
Ling Dong pretended to be surprised. He then counted with his fingers and said, "What should I do? I can't say that second uncle is shameless. I can't say that you're very shameless. What should I say? Don't tell me that second uncle, please teach me? "After saying that, Ling Dong respectfully bowed to Ling Zhengshan like a junior asking for advice!
Ling Zhengshan only felt a mouthful of blood rushing up his throat. His face turned red and black, but he suppressed it with all his might! Today, he was played by this little bastard.
While the green light on his face flowed, Ling Zhengshan forcefully operated the Innate Cloud Energy and forced the blood to flow down his lungs. He waved his hand at Ling Yuanshan and said coldly, "Big brother raised a good son! Humph! "
After taking a deep breath, Ling Zhengshan continued, "Since big brother insists that this thing belongs to Ling Dong and is so unreasonable, then I won't force you! But this Innate Wood Energy Bead is very important. If the Zuo family's experts forcibly take it, then don't blame us for not helping! Humph, third brother, let's go! "
After saying that, Ling Zhengshan led Ling Tieshan, Ling An, and Ling Zhuo out of the room!
Ling Dong's eyes suddenly tightened. If the previous sentence was shameless, then this sentence was a naked threat! Even if the Zuo family's experts didn't come to snatch it, Ling Zhengshan himself would have to consider staging a robbery!
