After returning to the Ling family, Ling Aoran rushed into Ling Wan 'er's room.
"Wan 'er! Wan 'er, are you there? Or are you sleeping? You're so good at sleeping. Be careful not to get fat." After entering the room, Ling Aoran called out softly.
"Brother Aoran! I'm here. Annoying, I'm already up. Where did you go just now? Why can't I find you?”When Ling Wan 'er heard Lin Aoran's voice, she excitedly jumped out from behind the screen and jumped in front of Ling Aoran.
"Damn…I won't tell you, guess! "Hehe…" Ling Aoran pretended to be mysterious.
Seeing that Ling Aoran didn't tell her, Ling Wan 'er immediately puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. Her cheeks were round and extremely cute.
"I can't guess! Hmph, so be it. What's so great about it? I don't want to know. Humph! Brother Aoran is the most annoying!" Ling Wan 'er turned her head away from him and sulked.
Ling Aoran looked at her and said helplessly,"Okay, okay, okay. Brother Aoran will tell you, okay? As he spoke, he took out the clay figurine that he had just made today and handed it to Ling Wan 'er.
"Wow! Mud man! It's Brother Aoran's clay figurine! Give it to me! This was great. This was really great. Wan 'er had a clay figurine again. Brother Aoran, where did you come from?”Ling Wan 'er grabbed the clay figurine and asked excitedly.
Seeing Ling Wan 'er's happy expression, Ling Aoran also smiled with relief. "I went to the granny who made the clay figurine this morning and asked her to help me make it. As long as Wan 'er was happy, Brother Aoran was willing to do anything.”
When she heard that Ling Aoran had gone to find a clay figurine for her early in the morning, Ling Wan 'er's eyes turned slightly red. Thinking about how she had been throwing a tantrum at her brother Aoran, Ling Wan' er's tears immediately flowed down.
"Brother Aoran, I'm sorry. You're so good to Wan 'er, but Wan' er was still angry at Brother Aoran just now. I'm sorry, Brother Aoran. Wan 'er won't be like that in the future.”As she spoke, she threw herself into Ling Aoran's arms and cried.
At this moment, Ling Aoran was a little depressed. This little girl was really a crybaby. She cried whenever she wanted to, making people unprepared. "Alright, alright. Brother Aoran, don't be angry. Wan 'er, don't cry. Look, you've become a little kitten.”Ling Aoran rubbed Ling Wan 'er's head and teased her.
"Annoying! You're the little kitten!" Ling Wan 'er heard Ling Aoran making fun of her and muttered to herself. She then shyly burrowed into Ling Aoran's arms again.
The Ling Family Courtyard was located in a quiet place behind the Ling Family Estate. The trees here were surrounded by shade, and the air carried a faint fragrance. The surrounding spiritual energy was also much denser than outside.
Comfortable environment, fresh air, and rich spiritual energy. This was definitely a great place for year-round cultivation. However, such a beautiful and comfortable place was a forbidden area for the Ling Family…
Ling Jifan looked at the courtyard in front of him and took a deep breath. He walked to the courtyard and bowed respectfully."Grand Elder, the current head of the Ling family, Ling Jifan, has something to report to you!”
Every time Ling Jifan came here, his heart would inexplicably become nervous. Perhaps it was because the Grand Elder inside was powerful, but when facing a strong person, the weak would always feel a trace of fear in their hearts.
"Oh? What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to disturb my cultivation? Did something big happen in the clan?”A faint voice came from the courtyard. Although the voice was very calm, there was a faint sense of majesty.
Hearing the person in the courtyard ask, Ling Jifan didn't dare to be negligent and replied respectfully,""Reporting to Elder, although the clan has some small trouble, it's not a big deal.”
"Oh, then why are you here? Don't you know that I'm in seclusion?!" The man's voice became louder, clearly dissatisfied with Ling Jifan's arrival.
Seeing that the Grand Elder was about to get angry, Ling Jifan hurriedly explained. "Elder, please calm down! I have indeed come to disturb you for something very important. It's about our Ling family disciples.”Ling Jifan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and thought to himself,"Please don't be angry with this elder. Otherwise, I'll have to suffer."
"Speak." That person was obviously a little impatient and didn't even bother to say another word.
"Yes, sir!" Ling Jifan replied respectfully,"It's like this, Elder. Our Ling family has produced a super cultivation genius. He didn't accept anyone's guidance and cultivated alone, and successfully reached the peak of the Spirit Condensation stage. Moreover, this genius was only six years old this year!”Ling Jifan slowly finished his sentence and waited for the Grand Elder's response.
"Oh, that's it? Um…What did you just say? Tell me clearly, how old is that person this year!!？”The person in the courtyard didn't care about it at first, but when he suddenly remembered Ling Jifan mentioning his age, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"Elder, that person is six years old this year. He is my second brother's child, Ling Aoran.”Ling Jifan was so frightened by the Grand Elder's sudden shout that he almost jumped up. He cursed this old fart in his heart, but he spoke respectfully.
"Six years old! Six years old…no one to teach him! Cultivate alone! Peak of Spirit Concentration! Only six years old! What did this mean? Could it be that our ancestor sensed our clan's pious pursuit of Dao, so he brought such a peerless genius to our Ling Clan! That's right! That must be the case. Our ancestor didn't abandon us. Thank you, ancestor!”After confirming this shocking news, that person muttered to himself.
After a moment of silence, the person in the courtyard suddenly said,"Remember, protect that child well and don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, you will be a sinner of our Ling Family, understand? When you have time, ask that child to come to my place.”Ling Jifan couldn't resist the dignified voice, so he could only nod his head.
"Opposition? Who else knows about this?”That person asked again.
"Elder, almost everyone in the Ling family knows about this. Bai Riley and Leader He also know about this. I think even the Li family should have received the news by now. It wouldn't be long before everyone in Watershed Town received the news.”Ling Jifan slowly analyzed the situation.
"Oh! They all knew! This is going to be a little troublesome. If that child's talent spreads to other towns, I think our Ling family will definitely become a target of public criticism. If this goes on, our Ling Family might return to the situation we were in before, where we were hunted down by the entire continent. He gave the order that the clan was forbidden from discussing this matter.”
"Also, send someone to the most crowded place in the town. If anyone talks about this, kill them immediately. As for the other three families, I'll think of a way. You can go back first. Remember, protect the child. If there's a mistake, I'll take responsibility for you!" After he finished speaking, a strong pressure came from the courtyard, making it hard for Ling Jifan to breathe.
"Yes, Elder. I will pass down the instructions. Then, I will take my leave first.”Ling Jifan didn't dare to stay any longer because the pressure was too terrifying. He hurriedly bowed and retreated.
After Ling Jifan's figure disappeared, a figure flashed out from the courtyard. This person was about seventy years old, with a head of pale brown white hair and a long beard. He looked like an immortal. "I hope that child can change the current situation of the Ling family. It has already been a thousand years! Sigh…" That person looked up at the sky. As the breeze blew, that person's figure had already disappeared, leaving only a faint sigh that drifted with the wind.
In the Bai family's meeting hall, Bai Riley and Leader He were sitting at the head of the table. Their expressions were extremely ugly, and their gloomy expressions carried a little helplessness. Clearly, he was troubled by something.
"Brother Bai, it's been three days. Have you thought of any ideas?”Leader He asked Bai Riley gloomily.
Bai Riley glanced at Leader He and shook his head helplessly. Ever since three days ago, the two of them had returned to the Bai family to discuss how to kill Ling Aoran, who had a heaven-defying talent in cultivation. However, they had thought of many ways, but it did not work in the end.
"Brother He, the Ling Family is heavily guarded. We can't send people to assassinate that little bastard. If his whereabouts are exposed, then we'll be in trouble. Sigh…! We can only wait for that little bastard to leave the Ling family. Only then will we have a chance to succeed. "I'll send people to monitor the Ling family day and night. As soon as that little bastard leaves the house, we'll…" As he spoke, he made a gesture to his neck. His meaning was self-evident.
"How long do we have to wait? I'm afraid that if we delay this matter for too long, there will be more trouble. Why don't we tell your Supreme Elder about this and let him think of a way? I'll also go back and tell my He Clan's Supreme Elder. This way, we'll have a greater chance of getting rid of that brat from the Ling Clan.”
Leader He didn't really agree with Bai Riley's arrangement. After all, that kid was the treasure of the Ling family now. How could he go out so casually? If he waited for him to go out, how long would he have to wait! Moreover, even if that kid went out, how could he not bring the Ling family's guards along…
"Brother He! Do you think it's necessary to trouble the two grand elders for this matter? If they can't even handle a kid, what do you think the Grand Elder and the others will think? Don't tell me…"
"Patriarch, there's a Mister Chen outside who has come to pay his respects. He said that he was an old friend of the Bai family's ancestor, but he came with a promise.”Before Larry could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice coming from outside the hall.
Bailey frowned and thought to himself," The descendant of an old friend? Who could it be…
