After reminiscing about the past of the Ling family, Ling Aoran suddenly felt a little tired. He softened his head and said to Ling Batian,"Father, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first.”After playing with Ling Wan 'er for a day, he was called here not long after he came back to listen to the puzzling history of the family. Although Ling Aoran was already at the Spirit Condensation stage, he was still a child. No matter how mature his mind was, he was only six years old. It was normal for him to be mentally exhausted.
"Yes, it's fine. Go back and rest well, little guy.”
Hearing Ling Aoran's words, Ling Batian turned to look at Ling Jifan. Seeing him nod his head to indicate that there was nothing else, he waved his hand and let him go back to rest.
Seeing Ling Batian nod, Ling Aoran bowed to everyone present and turned to walk out of the door. When Ling Aoran stepped over the threshold of the door, he suddenly thought of something and stopped. He turned around and suddenly asked,"Oh right, father, what was the name of the ancestor of the Ling family?”
Ling Batian's expression instantly turned into one of worship when he mentioned the Ling family's ancestor. Ling Batian's eyes were extremely serious, and he didn't look as casual and lazy as he usually did. He said to Ling Aoran,"Aoran, you must remember the ancestor of our Ling family. He is the god in our hearts, the god that the descendants of the Ling family will worship forever! Remember, our great ancestor's name is Ling…Tian!”
Buzz!
When he heard this name, Ling Aoran's body shook violently. A certain memory in the depths of his soul was violently touched. He only felt that this name was very familiar, very intimate, and very safe. He didn't know what was going on. Ling Aoran only felt that it was a feeling of longing, a deep longing.
"Patriarch, the patriarch of the Bai family and the patriarch of the He family have come to visit.”
Just as Ling Aoran was wondering why he had such a feeling, the voice of a guard outside the door sounded.
Hearing this, Ling Jifan frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand what those two fellows wanted to do in the Ling family. Could they be plotting something? Although he didn't want to see them, he was still the head of the family. In order not to be rude, he said in a deep voice,"Invite them in."
"Yes, Patriarch." The guard responded and left.
Ling Aoran was also prepared to see what was different about the two family heads who had a tense relationship with the Ling family, so she retreated to Ling Batian's side and stayed behind temporarily.
It didn't take long before Bai Riley and Leader He arrived at the entrance of the hall under the guidance of the guard. The guard made a gesture to the two of them before bowing and leaving.
When the two of them entered the hall, Bai Riley immediately saw the petite figure standing beside Ling Batian. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the chill even made He Weiguo, who was beside him, shiver.
"But I don't know why the two of you have come today. We don't seem to have any friendship to talk about, right? The Ling family is small and can't accommodate two great gods. Please don't stay in the Ling family for too long.”
Ling Jifan sat at the head of the table, fiddling with a teacup in his hand as he stared at Bai Lai Li and Bai Ling, his tone extremely unfriendly.
Bai Riley retracted his gaze from Ling Aoran. He didn't care about Ling Jifan's attitude towards him. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile,"Hehe, Patriarch Ling must be joking. We are here today for the business of the market. We hope to have a chat with Patriarch Ling.”He Weishou nodded in agreement.
"Oh…! Business in the market? I wonder what the two of you want to talk about?"
Ling Jifan was a little confused. Although the business of this market was important, it was not necessary for these two to come together. Since he couldn't figure out what they were up to, Ling Jifan couldn't say anything and could only wait and see.
"This…Haha, don't tell me the Ling Family Head doesn't intend to invite us to sit down? Was this how the Ling Family treated their guests?”Bai Riley didn't answer Ling Jifan's question directly, but said to Ling Jifan casually.
Ling Jifan didn't think much of it, and he narrowed his eyes and said to Bai Riley,"I'm sorry, but there's a problem with the material of my Ling Family's chairs. I'm afraid that they can't be used by the two of you. If you don't mind, please sit on the floor.”
"What did you say?"
Leader He was waiting for Ling Jifan to make things difficult for the two of them. This way, they would have a chance to make a fuss. He didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. He was really too happy! Then, Leader He pretended to be furious, and the spiritual power on his body suddenly erupted to the extreme!
The people of the Ling Family thought that Leader He was just throwing a tantrum and didn't dare to cause trouble in the Ling Family, so they didn't care. However, just as the spiritual energy in Leader He's body rose to the limit, his figure suddenly flashed and arrived beside Ling Batian. Ling Batian wasn't prepared for this sudden change. Just when he thought he was about to be attacked by Leader He, he waited for a while, but Ling Batian didn't feel anything wrong with his body. He couldn't help but wonder what Leader He was doing. Suddenly, something happened. Leader He suddenly threw out a punch that was filled with terrifying power. His target wasn't Ling Batian, but…Ling Aoran!
This sudden change caught everyone from the Ling Family off guard. Ling Aoran was caught off guard and did not even have the time to dodge. Her petite body was sent flying by Leader He's huge fist for more than ten meters. She only stopped when she crashed into the pillar supporting the beam in the hall.
"Puff!"
Ling Aoran spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground. If Ling Aoran wasn't already at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Stage, an ordinary person at the Bone Refining Stage would have died from that punch. Ling Aoran only spat out a mouthful of blood. At most, he suffered some internal injuries from the backlash of that punch. He would recover after four or five days of rest.
Seeing this scene that happened in the blink of an eye, the Ling family members were still unable to react. When they saw Ling Aoran lying on the ground, the people who had regained their senses were instantly enraged! They had never expected that Leader He, as the head of the family, would actually ambush a six-year-old child! This was simply too infuriating, especially when he had ambushed the only hope of reviving the Ling Family! Without further ado, the elders of the Ling family surrounded He Weishou and Bai Riley, not giving them a chance to escape!
Ling Batian saw that his precious son was sent flying by Leader He in front of him. He didn't know if his son was dead or alive. Seeing his son's pale face, Ling Batian was furious. His eyes turned red and veins popped out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist."Dog, you have guts! How dare you hurt my son! You're courting death!!! I'm going to tear you into pieces!"
After saying that, Ling Batian's skin suddenly started to burn. Under the influence of the flame, his skin instantly turned red. Waves of spiritual energy fluctuations shook violently around Ling Batian, like ripples in water, spreading out in all directions.
"Mid-tier Moon-Class Secret Skill, Burning Palm!"
A loud shout came from Ling Batian's mouth. He raised both his hands and pushed forward in the direction of Leader He. Instantly, two scarlet palm shadows shot out from Ling Batian's hands, heading straight for Leader He.
Whoosh!
Both palms flew over rapidly with the sound of air breaking. When the elders surrounding Leader He saw this, they all dodged to avoid getting involved.
Leader He looked at the two palm shadows that were coming at him, and his pupils constricted slightly. He did not dare to be careless. Without thinking, he circulated all the spiritual energy in his body into his right hand. Not long after, an ability ball formed by spiritual energy appeared in Leader He's hand. He threw out the energy ball and shouted,"Mid-tier Moon-Class Elites, Explosive Spirit Pill!"
Boom!
The two collided with a loud boom! Wave after wave of energy waves blew the chairs and benches in the hall into the air. The originally clean hall was in a mess. At the place where the two powers exploded, a circular pit that was one foot deep appeared! Seeing his meeting room in such a state, Ling Jifan's eyes instantly turned red. His heart was bleeding. He didn't know how much money he would have to spend to restore it to its original state. At this moment, Ling Jifan really wanted to rush up and kill them one by one to relieve the pain of spending money!
The two people who suffered the greatest backlash from the collision of the two powers were currently dressed in rags, appearing rather miserable. The two of them glared at each other, as if they had killed their wives and snatched their children. Ling Batian wanted to kill his son to vent his anger because his son was beaten up by this bastard in front of him. On the other hand, Leader He was in such a sorry state because of Ling Batian, causing him, the head of the He family, to lose face. He swore to kill Ling Batian to avenge his own face.
"Old dog! Today, I'll fight you to the death!" Seeing that Leader He had hurt his son, not only did he not apologize, he even dared to glare at him. Ling Batian's eyes instantly turned red. His hair stood on end as he roared and rushed towards Leader He.
"Humph! It's exactly what grandpa wants. Today, grandpa will definitely kill you!”Seeing Ling Batian charging towards him, Leader He did not want to be outdone. He shouted and went up to Ling Batian.
