"puff!"
Linglong, who was practicing Qigong to treat Lingxin, suddenly felt a surge of blood and vomited blood.
"Grandpa!"
"Master!"
When everyone saw this, they ran to Linglong anxiously and checked with worried looks on their faces.
Ling'er helped Linglong up, then took out a soul-restoring pill and gave it to Linglong to take.
"Grandpa, are you okay? What happened?"
Seeing that the spirit dragon's breath gradually stabilized, Ling'er's frowned brows relaxed slightly and she raised the question in her heart.
Linglong waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry.
"I once learned a method of entering dreams by chance. I just wanted to use this method to explore Lingxin's dream. However, as soon as I saw a glimmer of light, I was blocked by a powerful force. I tried to break through by force, but was counterattacked. I just spit out a mouthful of blood, nothing serious."
There are only two situations where the backlash of the technique will occur. The first is when the technique is run incorrectly. The other is when it encounters an attack of the same type that is more powerful than the technique itself.
Grandpa shouldn't make such a low-level mistake as an operational error, so the only possibility is the latter.
"Xin'er, Xin'er! Are you okay?"
An urgent voice came from the room, and then Lingyuan appeared in front of everyone at a trot.
When he came in, the first thing he noticed was Ling Xin lying on the bed, motionless. Lin Yuan was anxious and completely forgot about etiquette and ran over directly.
"Xin'er! Xin'er! What happened?"
When she looked up, she saw Ling'er who seemed to be safe and sound. Lingyuan immediately had a guess in her mind that it must be this woman who had done something to her heart. She reached out and wanted to grab Ling'er's arm to hold her accountable, but was stopped by a slender arm.
Lingyuan didn't understand and looked back.
"Little sister! Why are you doing this?"
Lingxi was not feeling well, so she was supposed to stay in another room. But Lingxi had just found her daughter and was worried about her, so she got up secretly and followed.
Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the door, I saw my second brother trying to attack Ling'er.
Thinking of what his second brother had done to Ling'er and Yu'er before, Lingxi didn't have time to think and took action directly.
"Brother, what do you want to do to my daughter?" Lingxi was protective of his own shortcomings and had a quick temper. So he didn't beat around the bush and directly said what he was thinking.
However, Lingyuan's attention was focused on Lingxin's injury at the moment, and he did not carefully analyze Lingxi's words.
"Little sister, get out of the way. This woman not only poisoned Xin'er, but now she's also injured her. Second brother is going to..." At this point, Lingyuan suddenly realized, "What did you say? Your daughter!"
His eyes widened with a look of disbelief.
Lingxi did not evade, opened Lingyuan's arm, then protected Ling'er in front of him and repeated it solemnly.
"That's right, my daughter. She is my daughter! Anyone who wants to hurt her will have to walk over my dead body!"
"!" Lingyuan was not only shocked but also confused at this moment.
What is going on
First, the father sided with this woman, and now, she has become the daughter of his younger sister!
Is it that his brain is not enough, or is this world just too mysterious
Why do these things that seem to have nothing in common happen to come together when they come to him
Xin'er just messed with a woman, and he just wanted to vent his anger for his daughter. It was originally a simple matter, why did it develop into this
He looked at Lingxi with shock, still unable to believe that this was true.
His gaze turned to the spirit dragon.
"My son has met his father."
"You finally see that your father is here too." Linglong said angrily with a dark face.
"... ... " He was so focused on his daughter that he forgot to greet his father.
"Father, I was just too worried when I saw Xin'er was injured, so I was rude. Please forgive me. But, what did I just say? Please help me solve my confusion."
Is it fake
Lingyuan thought so in his heart, and he could only hope that it was false. Otherwise, things would be out of his control.
If his father favored his older brother between him and his older brother, then he doted on his younger sister unconditionally.
If this woman is really my sister's child, then... the consequences will be horrific.
Linglong snorted coldly, looked at Ling'er with a look of relief and said, "Yes, this is my youngest sister's daughter, my granddaughter, Xia Ling'er."
To Lingyuan, this sentence was like a bolt from the blue. It was too scary.
What is going on
"No, this... Are you mistaken? My son heard from Xin'er that this woman is very cunning. Are you being deceived?"
Although it had been verified by his father from the air, Lingyuan was still unwilling to believe it.
"Shut up, you didn't discipline her properly, and you spoiled Lingxin like a bitch. It's ok that she's arrogant at home, but she even uses the name of the Ling family to bully the weak outside. After being punished by Ling'er, she didn't repent, and even turned right into right to complain to you! You're also confused, kidnapping young children and threatening women and children. Even now, you still want to quibble! Lingyuan, what crime should you be charged with!" Lingxi frowned coldly, staring at Lingyuan not far in front of him, accusing him word by word.
Lingyuan panicked and immediately knelt down to explain to Linglong.
"Father, I am innocent. This is not what my younger sister said. My younger sister has lived in a confined place for a long time, and she may be confused. Father, you must make a decision for your son, and you cannot listen to my younger sister's one-sided words. Besides, this woman is fine now, but my Xin'er is lying in bed. Father, this woman must have used some vicious means to seriously hurt Xin'er. Now, she is confusing my younger sister again. Father, you must be discerning and make a decision for your son and Xin'er!"
Lingyuan knelt on the ground and spoke in a crying voice, sounding as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Father, Xin'er is unconscious now. This woman said everything. You must not believe her. Xin'er is your granddaughter. It is still unknown whether she is alive or dead. We, her relatives, must not listen to the slander and wrongly accuse her. Xin'er will be sad, father!"
Lingyuan knew that although Linglong looked serious and old-fashioned, he still cared a lot about his family. It could be seen from the fact that he had not remarried in all these years that he was also a man who valued friendship and loyalty. Lingxin's current situation would definitely make him soft-hearted.
"That's enough. You should know what you did. Don't try to escape the blame by using other excuses. People in the Ling family are not afraid of making mistakes, but they are afraid of not correcting them. But since you are so unwilling to accept it, you should stay in your own yard and think about it. Wait until Lingxin wakes up and everything becomes clear before making a decision." Linglong was in a complicated mood at the moment. After all, both sides of his hands are made of flesh. And Lingxin's condition was not very good. But Ling'er couldn't let them suffer any injustice.
"Come here, send the spiritual source back to the East Courtyard for the master of this family. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the master's order."
Since he is still trying to make excuses about Ling Xin, let's wait and see what else he has to say when Ling Xin wakes up.
"Father, you can't do this. Xin'er's life or death is still unknown, you can't lock me up, father, father!" No matter how Lingyuan shouted and explained, Linglong never looked at him again, and was eventually taken away by the servants who came in to carry out orders.
"Father, are you okay?" Lingqing came in pushing a wheelchair. When she came, she naturally saw Lingyuan being taken away, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He wanted to plead for his second brother, but thinking about what he had done, he felt powerless. If the victim was his eldest brother, it wouldn't matter.
Ling'er and Yu'er have been separated from my younger sister for so many years. The Ling family owed them this. They have finally been reunited, and they cannot accept this injustice.
"Father, please don't be angry. My second brother is not a bad person by nature, but he sometimes does things inappropriately. Besides, he has already started a family and a career. As a wife and a father, he will understand your painstaking efforts sooner or later." Lingqing knew that although this father looked old-fashioned and serious, he was soft-hearted. He felt sorry for them, his children.
My second brother has really disappointed my father over the years.
Linglong sighed and waved his hands, "It's okay, father is fine. It's just that Ling'er and Yu'er have been wronged. But don't worry, as long as Lingxin wakes up, grandpa will punish them. But Lingxin's situation doesn't seem optimistic."
"Grandpa, why don't you let me try? I also had a similar nightmare when I was in the Misty Forest before. After I woke up, not only did my body become stronger, but I also gained a strange power. This power may be able to help Lingxin."
"Then you give it a try. If it doesn't work, grandpa will go find the Great Elder." The elders of the Ling family all have their own specialties. Apart from his cultivation, the Great Elder's greatest strength is alchemy.
But Linglong forgot that Ling'er was a more powerful alchemist than the Great Elder. If Ling'er couldn't do anything, then the Great Elder might not be able to help either.
Ling'er mobilized that strange power and completely enveloped Lingxin, emitting a faint light.
Ling Xin, who was originally frightened, gradually calmed down. The expression on her face was no longer panic-stricken, and her constant mumbling also stopped.
Lingqing was overjoyed when she saw this, and looked at her father with joy.
Linglong received Lingqing's gaze and said nothing, still trying to maintain a serious look. But Lingqing knew that her father was also very excited at the moment.
Even though Lingxin made a mistake, she is still his granddaughter. How can he not worry about her
Lingxin's complexion slowly returned to normal, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
But the moment she saw Ling'er, she suddenly jumped up and grabbed Ling'er's hand. Because her action was too fast and no one expected it at all, by the time everyone reacted, Ling'er's hand had been grabbed.
Lingxi's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed forward, wanting to protect Ling'er behind him. Because Lingxin had done many bad things to Ling'er before, everyone's first reaction was that Lingxin was going to hurt Ling'er. They panicked and wanted to step forward to stop him.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened.
After Lingxin grabbed Ling'er's hand, she immediately got up and knelt on the bed, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, please, please forgive me, I really won't dare to do it again, please, please let me go."
Panic, fear, uneasiness, guilt, all kinds of expressions that should be considered repentance appeared on her face, and she even shed tears.
He grabbed Ling'er's sleeves with a pleading look on his face, and kept saying "I was wrong, please forgive me". If you look closely, it is exactly the same as in the nightmare, which makes everyone puzzled.
Of course, the most confused person should be Ling'er herself.
Although they had only met a few times, she knew Ling Xin too well. With her proud temper and overbearing personality, admitting her mistakes was harder than climbing to heaven for a Miss Song like her.
Moreover, she had been unconscious before and had no idea that Ling'er was Lingxi's daughter, but she suddenly admitted her mistake and burst into tears, with a sincere look on her face. No matter how you look at it, it's incredible.
"Lingxin, let Ling'er go first." Lingxi stepped forward and pushed Lingxin's hand away, pulled Ling'er back, and then quickly looked her up and down, fearing that Lingxin would use some trick to hurt her daughter again.
"Ling'er, are you okay?" His eyes were concerned and full of tension.
Ling'er shook her head and smiled, "Mom, I'm fine, don't be so nervous. Your daughter is not made of paper, I'm very capable." She put her backhand on the back of Lingxi's hand and patted her gently, indicating that she should not worry.
Lingxi's health is not very good and her mood swings have an impact on her.
