Chapter 869: The Sinner's Situation
. Second Elder Ling Mo and Fifth Elder Ling Yan, the two of them once colluded with foreign parties to seek the position of the head of Ling Cang's family.
Not only did their conspiracy not succeed, but it allowed the Li family of the three major families at that time to take advantage of the situation, and almost destroyed their Ling family.
Fortunately, at the critical time, Ling Mo knew the trade-offs, knew how to safeguard the interests of the Ling family, and took the Burning Spirit Pill by himself, raising his strength to the royal rank, blocking the Li family's army, and giving the Ling family a chance to fight back.
It's just that, Ling Mo's general cultivation has stopped, and his longevity has also been reduced by ten years.
As for his brother Ling Yannai's troubled comrade, like him, he was punished for ten years and expelled from the Ling family's direct line.
It can be said that Ling Mo, Ling Yan and the others who were chaotic back then have been completely marginalized, and as Ling Cang, Ling Yuan, Ling Zhan and others have become stronger, the Ling family has developed more, and they have almost been forgotten.
Now that Ling Xiao suddenly mentioned this matter, Ling Cang was a little surprised, and what was even more surprising was that listening to Ling Xiao's tone seemed to be wanting to take over the Ling family after the Second Elders.
"Xiao'er, are you really going to do this?" Ling Cang asked Ling Xiao with a look of surprise.
The people behind him also looked at Ling Xiao with a puzzled expression.
Ling Xiao explained, "The Second Elder and the Fifth Elder are also members of our Ling family, although they have made mistakes, but after all these years, they must have repented and reformed, since we are leaving, it is better to let them take charge of the Ling family again, and the other elders will definitely not object."
The reason why Ling Xiao did this was not because he was too soft-hearted, but because Ling Mo took the Burning Spirit Pill in order to maintain the Ling family's foundation, and this decision could be seen that his feelings for the Ling family were still very deep.
Now that Ling Xiao is going to take his own people and leave, and the other elders in the clan must want to sit in the position of the patriarch, there will definitely be an infighting at that time, so Ling Xiao might as well take advantage of the situation to carry Ling Mo out and complete his dream of being a patriarch.
After all, Ling Mo still has certain means to make the Ling family brilliant.
Ling Cang showed a pleased smile and said, "Xiao'er, it seems that you have matured, and some things are more thoughtful than us old guys, okay, then let's go to the Second Elder's Old Age, they have suffered enough over the years!" []
I think that at the beginning, Ling Cang and Ling Mo were also good brothers, and they turned against each other for the position of the patriarch.
Ling Cang has always been grateful to the patriarch of the previous generation for putting him in the position of patriarch, but as the son of the patriarch of the previous generation, Ling Mo did not become the patriarch, and Ling Cang still felt a little guilty about Ling Mo.
Now that Ling Xiao took the initiative to ask for Ling Mo and Ling Yan to be reused, Ling Cang would not object, but felt that it was feasible, and the guilt in his heart disappeared with the wind.
......
In the northernmost part of Meteorite City, there are a few simple huts.
It's sparsely populated, and there's nothing to be said about it.
In front of the hut, two old men who looked to be in their sixties and seventies sat chatting.
The oldest man coughed and coughed from time to time, always with a pale and sickly look on his face, while the other old man next to him frowned from time to time, looking indescribably lonely.
These two old men are the two brothers Ling Mo and Ling Yan, who were abandoned by the Ling family.
In addition to them, the children and grandchildren who belonged to them were also sent to live here, and they could no longer return to live in the inner courtyard of the Ling family.
The children under their knees all have some ability, and they don't want to stay here with the two of them to be ridiculed and ridiculed for the rest of their lives, so many people leave their two elders and leave Meteorite City to live in other places, and only a few are still with them.
"Second brother, I heard that kid Ling Xing said that Elder Taishang and Ling Xiao are back," Ling Yan said to Ling Mo.
Ling Mo coughed lightly twice, and said with a bit of sadness in his old eyes, "Well, our Ling family can have today, it's all their credit, we ...... Ahem, you should be happy!".
Recalling what he had done back then, a strong sense of remorse swelled up in his heart.
If he hadn't done that back then, the Ling family now should also have their share of glory.
It's just that what you missed can't be turned back, and you can only let it go with the wind.
"Back then, my father temporarily entrusted Brother Ling Cang to be the patriarch, but we misunderstood Dad," Ling Yan said lightly, his expression was indescribably complicated.
Ling Modao "Well, if you miss it, you miss it, our sins can't be washed away, so let's keep watching the Ling family become stronger, I'm also very pleased, but...... It's a pity for Ling Xing's child."
Ling Xing, the only one among Ling Mo's grandsons who was willing to stay.
He Tianbin is not weak, although he has been separated from the support of the Ling family all these years, he still relies on his own strength to break through to the realm of a low-level spirit master.
It's just that at this point, without the cultivation of the family and without a good opportunity, it is not easy to advance in the future by relying on one's own cultivation.
As Ling Xing's grandfather, Ling Mo naturally didn't want Ling Xing to be buried like this, how much he hoped that Ling Xing could return to that Ling family!
"Ling Xing, this kid has a firm heart, he has his own ambitions, big brother, you don't need to worry" Ling
Yan comforted.
When Ling Mo wanted to say something again, he coughed a few times in a row, and this time he actually coughed up all the blood on his side.
Ling Yan was shocked, "Big brother, I'd better help you go back to the room to rest, don't say too much!"
"I didn't ...... It's not a big deal, I've lived almost all these years, the only thing in my heart I can't let go of Ling Xing, I think...... I want to go back to the clan, even if I ask Ling Cang to let Ling Xing return to the Ling family!" Ling Mo wiped his mouth and waved his hand.
"Big brother, you ...... Why don't I go, you don't have good bones!" Ling Yan said.
Ling Yan knew that his eldest brother was originally a good-looking person, but now that he has become like this, he has never asked the Ling family for anything over the years, and now it is difficult for him to give up his old face for his grandson.
"No...... Needless to say, anyway, I'm also the one who half-stepped into the coffin, and my face is nothing!" Ling Mo seemed to have seen it very openly.
At this moment, a man in his thirties strode over.
"Two grandfathers, you don't have to beg them, I think it's good now" The man with a calm expression was none other than Ling Mo's grandson, Ling Xing, and he was also carrying a second-order high-level wild boar spirit beast on his shoulder.
Today's Ling Xing is very different from that of more than ten years ago, the arrogance is gone, and some are just stable and resolute.
He went from a high-ranking young master of the Ling family to an abandoned and down-and-out young master, and he couldn't accept the reality at the beginning.
However, after years of polishing, his thinking has also undergone a great change.
The ups and downs of life are often the time when people can see their true nature.
It turned out that he hated Ling Cang and the current Ling family, but every time he heard his two grandfathers talk about that incident, he also understood that the Ling family did not treat them badly, but they were at fault first.
If you are wrong, you will be held accountable and will have consequences.
Therefore, Ling Xing no longer had the luxury of returning to the Ling family, but hoped that he could cultivate through guò and one day change his current situation, so that the two grandfathers could enjoy their old age in peace.
Ling Xing threw the wild boar away, and before Ling Mo arrived, he took out a third-order low-rank spirit grass.
This is a black cucumber king that has the effect of prolonging life.
"Grandpa, your health is not good, take it down first, you don't have to worry about my business," Ling Xing said.
It can be seen that he is very filial now.
Ling Mo and Ling Yan's eyes both showed satisfaction, and at the same time, they also showed a strong sense of pity.
"Child, it's all grandpa who has bothered you!" Ling Mo said with a little sadness.
The better Ling Xingbiao went, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.
With Ling Xing's Tianbin, he must have been cultivated in the clan, and it is not a problem to reach the peak spirit master in the future, and even with the help of the elixir, he can also step out of the king rank and jump into the dragon gate!
"Grandpa, don't say anything, I'm doing well now," Ling Xing responded, but in fact, there was a little indescribable sorrow in his eyes.
At this time, someone came to their humble place again.
Ling Xing looked at the comer, his eyes jumped, and a wave of anger rose.
"Two elder brothers Ling, Lao Huang has come to see you" Before those people arrived, an old voice came first.
There were a total of six people who came, led by an old man who was about the same age as Ling Mo, Ling Yan and others, his name was Huang Hansheng, and he was the old head of an old family in Meteorite City, and the strength of a high-level spirit master.
Behind him were two Spirit Master-level martial artists, as well as three Xuanshi-level martial artists.
Among the people in this group were five people and one woman, that woman was the youngest and most beautiful, she stood behind Huang Hansheng, looking a little timid, looking at Ling Xing's eyes full of affection, but with unspeakable grievances.
"You...... What are you doing here, since you don't look at us old bones in your eyes, why do you still come here to show off your might, don't you think that our old bones don't have the ability to eat people?" Ling Mo looked at Huang Hansheng with an angry face, and he couldn't help coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood in his mouth.
"Brother Mo, don't be angry, I came today to tell you two things" Huang Hansheng looked at Ling Mo and Ling Yan with a disdainful face, paused and said, "First, I hope that this kid Ling Xing will not come to harass my family Xiaolian in the future, she is not worthy of you abandoned people......; I think Brother Mo is not feeling well, so you better not go, just let Ling Xing go on your behalf."
Huang Hansheng turned out to be friends with Ling Mo, when Ling Mo was in the Ling family, Huang Hansheng came to tie up with Ling Mo a lot, and even planned to marry his granddaughter Huang Lianyun to Ling Xing as a daughter-in-law.
However, with the accident of Ling Mo and others, Huang Hansheng immediately drew a line with Ling Mo and others.
However, Ling Xing and Huang Lian were destined to have a love affair, and they actually met in the barren mountains, and there was a spark of love.
The two of them were in love, and after Ling Xing broke through the spirit master, he thought that with his own strength, it was enough to propose to the Huang family, but it attracted the Huang family's cultivation and humiliation, and prevented Huang Lian from interacting with him.
