Amidst Ling Yuanshan's confusion, Ling Dong truthfully recounted what happened in As You Wish Gambling House during the day. Of course, Ling Dong did not mention the fact that he used his Earth Qi to cheat and won. He simply said that he was lucky and left it at that.
It was not that Ling Dong wanted to deceive his father, Ling Yuanshan, but the things that happened to Ling Dong were simply too unbelievable.
After listening to Ling Dong's account, Ling Yuanshan's face sank. He slowly paced back and forth in Ling Dong's bedroom. His expression became more and more serious, and his forehead was covered in layers of cold sweat.
"Dong-er, do you know … how dangerous today's situation was?" After thinking for a while, Ling Yuanshan solemnly said.
"Dangerous? Father, you mean if today was the same as usual, I would have lost … then … "Ling Dong did not intend to play dumb in front of his father.
As the saying goes, 'Father and son go into battle', and 'Brothers in battle'. There will be more dangers in the future. Ling Dong wanted his father to understand him as soon as possible and have confidence in him. He did not want his father to worry about his safety and do something that Ling Dong would regret in order to protect him.
Seeing his son's face tensed up due to shock and his quick reaction, Ling Yuanshan nodded his head in gratification. "Several hundred thousand taels of silver banknotes. Even if I were to use the public funds, it would still be extremely difficult for me to take it out at once. But the four Zuo and Ling family juniors were able to take it out. What does this mean? This means that someone is plotting against you. Fortunately, you were lucky today! "
Ling Yuanshan shuddered at the thought of the consequences. Even if he had filled in the hole for Ling Dong, Ling Yuanshan would never believe that this matter would end just like that. There must be a backup plan!
"Father, now that we have the Connate Wood Astral Pearl, the Zuo Clan will not let this matter rest. What should we do? Today, Ling An and Ling Zhuo also know about this. Now that we've obtained a cultivation treasure like the Innate Wood Astral Orb, why would Second Uncle and Third Uncle just sit by and watch us … "Ling Dong felt that it was necessary for him to remind his father and come up with some countermeasures.
Hearing this, Ling Yuanshan's gaze turned cold. He looked at Ling Dong with surprise, "Who … told you this?" Obviously, Ling Yuanshan was surprised that Ling Dong suddenly knew about the power struggle within the family!
Ling Dong pursed his lips. "There's only one Patriarch position, who wouldn't fight for it? How could they not fight for it? There are so many collateral descendants in the family who can't enter the Connate Realm in their lifetime. They're the examples of those who don't fight for it! "
The cultivation of Earth Energy was not only a competition of one's aptitude, skill, and temperament, it was also a competition of cultivation resources. Whoever had more cultivation resources would improve faster. The stronger one was, the greater the need for cultivation resources. And the power of the family represented the amount of cultivation resources.
After staring blankly for a moment, Ling Yuanshan suddenly laughed out loud. He laughed so hard that Ling Dong didn't know what was going on. He laughed so happily that his brows were furrowed so tightly that they looked like chrysanthemums!
"My son has finally … grown up!"
Hearing his father Ling Yuanshan's happy sigh, Ling Dong's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Although the words' grown up 'were simple, it was filled with his father Ling Yuanshan's expectations.
In a happy mood, Ling Yuanshan analyzed for Ling Dong on the spot, "Dong-er, the Zuo Family will not let you go easily after losing the Innate Wood Qi Pearl, but you don't have to worry too much! They shamelessly schemed against you, a junior, and they know that they are in the wrong. It's impossible for them to openly ask for the Innate Wood Qi Pearl. Moreover, the whole Ling family will not agree to it!
But it's hard to say what they will do behind the scenes. Especially when you go out, you must not bring the Innate Wood Qi Pearl with you. The possibility of them robbing you is very high! As you said, our problem now is that your Second Uncle and Third Uncle will not sit back and watch us obtain this cultivation treasure and improve our cultivation by leaps and bounds. " Since Ling Dong had realized this, Ling Yuanshan immediately decided to let Ling Dong participate in some matters.
"Then how should we deal with Second Uncle and Third Uncle?" Ling Dong asked. In fact, Ling Dong had thought about this problem and came up with a solution. But for now, Ling Dong did not have much say in the upper echelons of the Ling family. He needed the support of his father, Ling Yuanshan.
"This … it's hard to say!" Ling Yuanshan frowned slightly, "From what happened today, it's very likely that they are colluding with each other to plot against you. It's hard to say how they will attack you!"
After a pause, Ling Yuanshan continued, "Moreover, the Innate Wood Qi Pearl has been exposed. It's obviously impossible for them to keep it for themselves. Moreover, without the support of the whole Ling family, it's not easy to keep this cultivation treasure. We'll see when the time comes. I guess we'll have to make some concessions!"
Ling Dong was not dissatisfied with Ling Yuanshan's decision at all. Ling Dong's two lifetimes of experience told him that a lone wolf would definitely not have a good ending, especially if he took all the benefits openly. If he did not do well, he would easily be attacked by others.
However, it was definitely not Ling Dong's character to give away the treasure that he had fought for with his own hands!
"Mm, that's all we can do for now." Ling Dong replied, but he was thinking about how to use this concession to gain more benefits. He urgently needed some resources in the family. As long as his strength could improve by leaps and bounds, this concession might not be necessary after a period of time!
Just as Ling Dong was thinking, the voice of Ling Dong's follower, Gao Yuan, suddenly came from outside the bedroom door, "Master, Butler Liu sent someone to inform us that Second Master and Third Master have come to visit. They are waiting in the living room in the front yard!"
Ling Dong was stunned, but Ling Yuanshan sighed, "They came really fast! Gao Yuan, other than the two of them, did they bring anyone else? "The last sentence was actually Ling Yuanshan's question to Gao Yuan.
"Master, Butler Liu said that Second Master and Third Master also brought Young Master An and Young Master Zhuo!"
Ling Yuanshan glanced at Ling Dong and said, "It seems that they are here for the Innate Wood Astral Pearl. You rest, I will go out and deal with them! However, you can't neglect your cultivation, especially with the Innate Wood Astral Pearl, cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort. As for the concession, you earned it, so you will need to use it for a period of time before you can hand it over to the family for arrangement! "
After saying that, Ling Yuanshan was about to leave, but Ling Dong was anxious and hurriedly called out!
His father, Ling Yuanshan, was still too honest. Wouldn't it be too much of a loss to give away a treasure like the Innate Wood Astral Pearl after using it for a few months? If his father really gave it away, then Ling Dong's plan would be thwarted!
"Father, I will go with you. Can you leave this matter to me?" Ling Dong asked.
"You?" Ling Yuanshan's eyes were filled with doubt. Although Ling Dong's performance today had made him look at him in a new light, after all, he was still young and inexperienced.
"Father, this Innate Wood Astral Pearl was won by me. If I go, it will be easier for me to speak. Even if I raise a request, it will be reasonable! Moreover, I am young and junior, so I don't have to worry too much. Who knows, I might be able to fight for more benefits! " After saying that, Ling Dong pretended to be angry and said, "They worked together to scheme against me, and now they want to share the benefits. If I don't get some benefits, I really won't be able to swallow this anger!"
In the end, Ling Dong added another sentence, which was the final nail in the coffin, "Father, anyway, you have already set the bottom line for this matter. If I follow your bottom line, I might be able to fight for more!"
Hearing his son's reasonable words, Ling Yuanshan thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, I will leave this matter to you to decide! However, you have to be careful with your words. After all, your Second Uncle and Third Uncle are your elders. Don't let others talk about you. Keep your usual mischievous attitude! "
Ling Dong was overjoyed when he heard that. He grabbed the Revealing Beauty Fan and followed Ling Yuanshan.
Don't underestimate the opportunity that Ling Dong fought for today. As long as this matter was done well, he believed that his father, Ling Yuanshan, would pay more attention to Ling Dong's opinions and ideas in the future.
It would also be easier for Ling Dong to help his father, Ling Yuanshan, control the Ling family in the future. Ling Dong was the only son, Ling Yuanshan, who controlled the Ling family, was no different from Ling Dong controlling it!
Ling Yuanshan glanced at Ling Dong's action of grabbing the Revealing Beauty Fan, as well as his usual ridiculous behavior, and wanted to teach Ling Dong a lesson. He opened his mouth, but shook his head and strode towards the front yard, "Who hasn't been ridiculous when they were young?"
