Chapter 017: Stern Words Deterrence

"The sin should abolish the Xuan Li and expel the Ling family"!

This sentence was like a tomb morning bell, which made the eyes of the fifth elder Ling Yan jump a few times, and his heart became a little uneasy.

Ling Xiao straightened his waist, glanced around at the major elders seated, and finally fell on Ling Yan and asked lightly, "Dare to ask the Fifth Elder, am I the grandson of the patriarch?"

The fifth elder's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he nodded undeniably, "This is natural, but what does this have to do with what you said?"

"Of course it's related, it's a big deal," Ling Xiao said.

Second Elder Ling Mo said impatiently, "If you have something to say, hurry up."

Ling Xiao glanced at the Second Elder, and then fell on the Fifth Elder and said, "Dare to ask the Fifth Elder, if Cousin Ling Rui is your grandson?"

The fifth elder Ling Yan said unhappily, "This is natural, the elders here watched him be born."

"What if someone insults Ling Rui as a mongrel?" this ......," Ling Xiao said lightly.

Before he finished speaking, Ling Yan slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Who dares to be bold, I will kill his whole family."

"Fifth Elder, don't be angry, I'm just if, in fact, no one in the family dares to offend you, Fifth Elder," Ling Xiao said with a dry smile.

Ling Yan glared at Ling Yan angrily and said with a smile, "You are endless, you have taken the topic away."

At this time, the fourth elder Ling Wei also said in a deep voice, "Ling Xiao, if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush anymore."

Ling Xiao replied "yes" to the four elders, and then he said with a straight face, "Just now before I entered the inner courtyard with Deacon Ling Tao, Cousin Ling Rui made disrespectful remarks to me and insulted me as a mongrel, just now the fifth elder also admitted that I am the grandson of the patriarch, I believe that all the elders present can testify for me, dare to ask the fourth elder and the fifth elder, is this disrespectful to the patriarch?"

As soon as Ling Xiao's words came out, the expressions of all the elders changed, especially Ling Yan looked like he wanted to tear Ling Xiao apart.

"Nonsense, I don't believe that my unsuccessful grandson would say such a rebellious thing," Ling Yan stood up and shouted.

"Deacon Ling Tao can testify on this matter," Ling Xiao pointed to Ling Tao who was standing in the corner.

At this time, Ling Tao stood up and responded, "That's right, Ling Rui did insult Ling Xiao as a mongrel."

His words were very powerful, he only said that Ling Rui scolded Ling Xiao as a mongrel, I didn't say that people insulted the patriarch, and he meant to be notarized by the elders, but everyone knew that the meaning of his words was self-evident.

"It's so unbelievable to say such a rebellious thing," Third Elder Ling Yuan raised his line-like eyes and said lightly.

Ling Yan glanced at Ling Yuan, didn't dare to say more, and sat back in his seat, but his fists were clenched tightly.

At this time, Ling Mo said, "Children's jokes, they can't be true."

As soon as Ling Mo's words came out, none of the elders present spoke anymore, and the three elders just glanced at Ling Cang, who was sitting up, and then narrowed again.

Ling Xiao suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha...... Haha......".

His voice echoed throughout the attic.

Ling Wei snorted coldly, "Don't make noise in the council hall!"

Ling Xiao restrained his smile and shouted at Ling Wei, "I heard that the Fourth Elder is the most impartial and strict elder in the family, and now it is nothing more than that, just now I asked the Fifth Elder, if someone insults Ling Rui as a mongrel, it is disrespectful to the Fifth Elder, and he is going to kill the whole family of others, and now Ling Rui insults me as a mongrel? Isn't it disrespectful to the patriarch? The Fourth Elder said just now that his crime should be abolished and expelled from the family, but he didn't dare to convict the Second Elder just because of his sentence 'The child's jokes should not be true'?" If Ling Rui was only a three-year-old child, I, Ling Xiao, would naturally not have the same knowledge as him, but he was already an adult who had held a coming-of-age ceremony, and he had to be responsible for what he said, could it be that the second elder and the fourth elder wanted to ignore the patriarch's majesty?"

Ling Xiao's sentences were sonorous and powerful, every sentence was provocative, and every sentence slammed into people's hearts, like a sharp blade piercing the hearts of the elders!

"That's right, it should be abolished and expelled from the family" The third elder Ling Yuan's eyes widened, and he agreed with a smile on his face. But this smile seems to be worse than crying, he has too much fat.

"That's right, Ling Rui should be severely punished" The second to speak was the sixth elder.

Then, the Seven Elders and the Nine Elders all began to echo.

Only the Eighth Elder looked at the Second Elder and did not speak.

Fourth Elder Ling Wei and Fifth Elder Ling Yan all stared at Ling Xiao tightly, the former had a thoughtful look, as if he wanted to see Ling Xiao through, while the latter looked like gritting his teeth and hating the sea.

The Second Elder just glanced at Ling Xiao, and his fingers continued to tap on the chair without speaking again.

Ling Cang, the patriarch sitting above, hadn't spoken until now, just sat quietly with a calm face, as if he had fallen asleep, and his ears didn't hear anything outside the window.

After a long time, the four elders sighed lightly and said, "According to the punishment of Article 19 of the clan rules, Ling Rui will disrespect the patriarch and expel him from the family."

As soon as the words of the four elders came out, the five elders first made a levy, swallowed the anger in their stomachs, then stood up, and then bowed to Ling Cang, who was sitting up, and said, "Patriarch, Ling Yan taught Sun Wufang, please be extra kind to the patriarch and be lenient."

At this moment, Ling Cang raised his eyes, and finally spoke, he said lightly, "Thinking that Ling Rui is young and ignorant, he is specially allowed to be exempted from the abolition of Xuanli and expelled from the family, but he must be punished to the back mountain for half a year."

The five elders were overjoyed and immediately thanked them.

"Okay, the purpose of convening all the elders here today is to discuss the matter of Ling Xiao returning to the inner courtyard, and ask the elders to express their opinions," Ling Cang took advantage of the situation and said.

As soon as Ling Cang's words fell, the third elder Ling Yuan immediately echoed, "I agree."

Then, Second Elder Ling Mo also spoke, "I have no opinion."

Immediately afterwards, the major elders agreed, and none of them voted against, and the five elders did not dare to speak against at this time.

Originally, he planned to make things difficult for Ling Xiao today, but unexpectedly, Ling Xiao preemptively commanded him, and almost made him unable to step down, and he wrote down this account.

"Okay, this matter is settled, in the future, Ling Xiao can enter and leave the inner courtyard at will, allow him to flip through the Xuanji on the first to second floors of the Tibetan Skill Pavilion, he can receive a first-order weapon, and he is allowed to participate in the family test in a month, today's discussion is here, it's all dispersed" After Ling Cang announced Ling Xiao's matter, he immediately waved his hand and dispersed, and then he said, "Ling Xiao stays."

Ling Xiao, who was about to turn around, stopped, and after all the elders went out, Ling Cang waved his hand lightly, and the door was closed.

Ling Xiao was extremely envious of Ling Cang's hand, this could only be done by at least reaching the realm of Xuan Li's release, and to be able to control his strength so freely, I am afraid that only the Spirit Master level could do it!

Ling Cang sat down from the top, stared at Ling and smiled, "Child, do you hate grandpa?"

At this moment, Ling Cang did not have the majesty of a superior person, but only the peace and calm of a grandfather.

Ling Xiao didn't know why she felt sour in her heart, and immediately responded, "I hated at the beginning, I hated why grandpa was so ruthless and put my family in disregard, I hated why grandpa didn't come to see Xiao'er for two years, I hated why I wasn't born in an ordinary family, so I could play and grow up happily with grandpa."

Speaking of this, Ling Cang sighed lightly, and turned his face away, not letting the old tears flow out of his eyes.

Then, Ling Xiao said again, "But after I met my grandfather today, I no longer hate, grandpa is the head of a family, of course, the interests of the family come first, the Ling family is a big family in Meteorite City, and other families are eyeing the Ling family, wanting to replace the Ling family, grandpa wants to take care of everyone, and must abandon the small family, not to mention that now the family is still worried, how can grandpa have time to take care of our family? So Xiao'er no longer hates grandpa."

Ling Cang looked at Ling Xiao and talked eloquently, and the old tears finally welled up, but fortunately he couldn't hold back in time and didn't let it flow out.

Ling Cang walked up to Ling Xiao, patted Ling Xiao's shoulder heavily, and said, "I, Ling Cang, have a sensible descendant like you, I am really relieved."

"Grandpa's words are serious, but I still hope that grandpa can take time out of his busy schedule to visit my father and mother, they have not had a good time all these years," Ling Xiao said softly.

Ling Cang nodded and said, "Your family has suffered all these years, I hope Zhan'er and Xiyun don't blame me for this old man, in fact, grandpa doesn't want to unload the burden of the patriarch and enjoy the joy of the heavenly wheel in his old age."

Ling Xiao said at this time, "Don't, I still want a patriarch's grandfather, this Dora style!"

"You kid, let's say, what compensation do you want?" Ling Cang didn't have a good breath.

"What...... What compensation?" Ling Xiao asked a little confused.

"The compensation for your neglect in the past two years, as long as grandpa can do it, he will try his best to satisfy you," Ling Cang said lightly with his hands behind his back.

"That's it, then I'll think about it," Ling smiled and was happy, then touched his nose and thought for a while before saying, "Just give a few tens of thousands of gold coins to use, and then come to a dozen second-order black ginseng kings, the higher the year, the better."

"Tens of thousands of gold coins, you should be a grandfather to open a money bank," Ling Cang said angrily, and then he asked again, "Why do you want a second-order Wushen King? With your current ninth-level martial arts strength, it is not enough to completely absorb the medicinal properties of the Wushen King, and it will only be a waste of resources."

Ling smiled and said, "I want to use it to break through the martial disciples and achieve the mysteries."

"Xiao'er, your idea is a little out of the way, although the King of Wushen can enhance the Xuan power, but it must only be an external force, it is impossible for you to break through the rank, if you want to break through the rank, it is better to have a second-order Xuan Dan, but the foundation of the Xuan who breaks through the rank with the pill is unstable, which is extremely unfavorable to future growth, so you should choose another thing" Ling Cang said clearly.

Ling Xiao naturally understood Ling Cang's truth, but he still had to choose the King of Wushen, because its main role was to activate the meridians and dredge the meridians, and at the same time enhance the Xuan power, so that he could break through the last meridian in one fell swoop and achieve the body of a martial artist, only in this way could he continue to cultivate, otherwise he would only stay in the realm of a ninth-level martial artist for the rest of his life.

So, Ling Xiao re-told Ling Cang about the "Immortal Dream" that he had compiled for Ling Zhan before, and finally told Ling Cang about his own situation.

Ling Cang looked at Ling Cang with a shocked look and smiled, "You...... What you say is true?".

Ling Xiao nodded, affirming, "It's absolutely true, otherwise how could I recultivate the Xuan Force, back then, the Supreme Elder decided that unless there was a fifth-order anti-heaven elixir, otherwise I would not be able to recultivate the Xuan Force."

Ling Cang thought for a moment, and then said sternly, "Who else knows about this matter except you?"

"And my father," Ling Xiao replied.

"Well, kid, don't tell anyone about it in the future, including the people closest to you, do you know?" Ling Cang sternly instructed.

Ling smiled and nodded heavily.

Then, Ling Cang laughed and said, "God bless my Ling family, I actually let Xiao'er have this opportunity, by the way, can your father also open up the meridians like you?"

"Of course, it won't be long before my father can definitely become a mystic again," Ling Xiao said confidently.

"Okay, okay, I still have two thousand-year-old black ginseng kings in my collection, I'm going to give them to you" Ling Cang applauded again and again, and his old face turned into a delightful smile, as if he had made him ten years younger.
