The person who came was Ling Tao, Ling Zhan's third brother.
Ling Tao walked steadily into the hall, looked around the hall, frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, where's the laugh?"
Meng Xiyun asked nervously, "What is the third brother doing to laugh? He is training in the back mountain."
"Oh, Xiao'er got into a catastrophe this time, and now the Li family and the Lan family's two patrons are asking the patriarch for a confession in the inner courtyard, saying that Ling Xiao'er must pay his life for his life," Ling Tao said with a very ugly expression on his face. .
"What!" Meng Xiyun was shocked after hearing this.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Xiao'er is a disciple of the Supreme Elder. His elder will not let Xiao'er get into trouble. The most important thing now is to let Xiao'er find a place to avoid the limelight," Ling Tao said comfortingly.
"The third brother, what are you talking about? What's the trouble with Xiaoer?" Ling Zhan walked in from outside the house and asked.
Ling Tao hurriedly told Ling Zhan the matter again.
"Yu Xi is going to call the young master back" Ling Zhan immediately told Bai Yuxi to say after listening.
"Can't go, we can't let Xiao'er come back and die." Meng Xiyun immediately took Bai Yuxi's hand and stared at Ling Zhan.
"What do you know, we Ling family are still afraid of the Li family and the Lan family? Besides, the elder Taishou will definitely come forward for Xiaoer. I asked Xiaoer to come back to let him explain things clearly in front of the patriarch. I don’t believe in the patriarch. Will not protect Xiaoer," Ling Zhan said grimly.
After listening to Ling Zhan's words, Meng Xiyun was silent for a while, and said firmly: "No matter what, I won't let Xiaoer go into danger, unless I die."
"Big brother, I don't think Xiaoer should go to the inner courtyard anymore," Ling Tao persuaded from the side.
Ling Zhan looked at Ling Tao with puzzled eyes.
Ling Tao showed an angry look and said, "The second elder and the fifth elder strongly agree to hand over Xiaoer to the Li family and the Lan family."
"Huh, it's them again" Ling Zhan said with squinting eyes.
For a while, the room fell into silence.
At this time, a waiter outside the house hurried in and said, "Master, there are two deacons outside looking for Young Master Ling Xiao."
Ling Zhan frowned, then walked out, and everyone behind him followed out.
The visitors were two middle-aged men, both in blue robes. One was tall and thin, with eagle-eyed eyes, high-bone face, and a very cold look; the other was shorter, slightly fat, with a face hanging on his face. With a happy smile, a ghost-slashing knife hung behind his back was in proportion to his body.
"Ling Chong, you come to me, don't know what's the matter?" Ling Zhan said indifferently as he looked at the tall and thin middle-aged man.
This person is Ling Chong, the son of the Fifth Elder, who is also Ling Rui’s father. He is also known as the chief in charge. He is in charge of the Ling family’s finances. Since he was a child, he has not been right, but it is a pity that he has been overwhelmed by Ling Zhan since he was young.
Ling Chong chuckled slightly, and then said quietly, "I'm here to pick Ling Xiao to the inner courtyard. Please call someone out." He secretly asked, "Can Ling Zhan be able to rebuild profound strength again?" He knew at a glance that Ling Zhan was already a low-level profound practitioner.
"I don't know what my Xiaoer's mistakes are. I have to ask you, the chief financial officer, to invite him." Ling Zhan sneered. It is common for everyone to be at odds between him and Ling Chong. His strength is not as good as before, but he doesn't let Ling Chong be pleased.
Ling Zhan's remarks meant that you were in charge of finances, and you actually also took charge of punishment.
In fact, the fat man next to Ling Chong was Ling Tang, the deacon under the punishment of the fourth elder Ling Wei.
"Hmph, I'm here to assist Ling Tang's brother to come and find Ling Xiao, please call out as soon as possible, we have to hurry back to the inner courtyard to return to life," Ling Chong said with a cold snort displeased.
At this time, Ling Tang on the side said: "Yes, I made a coincidence with Manager Ling Chong, so we came together, please call Deacon Ling Xiao out."
Ling Zhan saw that the two of them were all the way, but he also knew that delaying time can solve the problem, and immediately said: "The elder Taisang has asked him to go to the back mountain to practice. If you have the ability, please go and invite him. ".
Ling Zhan brought out the name of the Supreme Elder, and the meaning was self-evident.
Sure enough, Ling Chong and Ling Tang both showed embarrassment.
In the end, Ling Tang said embarrassingly: "Ling Zhan, don't embarrass us. I have come by the order of the elders to invite Deacon Ling Xiao, and please call them back."
"Haha, Deacon Tang, your words are serious. Didn't I tell you that my unfilial son is in Houshan? You can go if you want him, but I didn't stop you." Ling Zhan chuckled lightly.
At this time, Ling Tao reminded him in a serious manner: "Houshan seems to be the place where the elder Taishang and his elders practice."
This time, Ling Chong and Ling Tang's complexion turned greener.
The words "Superior Elder" in Meteorite City, in the Ling family can overwhelm everything! Who said that the Supreme Elder was the first person in Meteorite City, so strong that everyone would not dare to provoke casually.
"Let's go to Houshan, I believe that the elder Taishang will understand the truth." Ling Chong patted Lingtang's shoulder and said helplessly, but his eyes stayed on Ling Zhan, and he did not hide the sharp light in it.
"Brother Zhan..." After hearing Ling Chong's words, Meng Xiyun pulled Ling Zhan's sleeve nervously.
Ling Zhan glanced at his wife, patted her hand on the back, and said, "Don't be nervous, there is a great elder, and nothing will happen to Xiao'er."
Just when Ling Chong and Ling Tang were about to turn around and leave, Ling Chong stopped and asked indifferently, "Who is Ling Xiao's servant girl?".
Bai Yuxi didn't even think about it, and immediately blurted out "Slaves are." Ling Xiao was deeply ingrained in her heart. She was proud of being Ling Xiao's maid, so when Ling Chong asked, she reacted quickly.
"Yu Xi, what are you talking nonsense, you are our goddaughter" Ling Zhan said lightly.
Ling Chong wiped a smile on his face and said, "The deacon, please take her back. Didn't the elders of the audience say that you asked to bring the person involved?" Ling Chong was so proud that you, Ling Xiao, could kill the Li and Lan families for this maid, and I believe he would come out of Houshan obediently for the maid.
Ling Chong had a good idea. His move was to "force the snake out of the hole"!
"She is my goddaughter, whoever dares to move him will have trouble with Ling Zhan" Ling Zhan could naturally guess Ling Chong's intentions, and immediately said firmly.
"Ling Zhan, don't you obey the decision of the elders" Ling Chong shouted at Ling Zhan loudly.
Ling Zhan ignored the weak points: "If you have the ability to look at the patriarch or the fourth elders, otherwise I won't let Yu Xi go with you."
"It's clear that you don't want to make someone. The two of us came in person by the order of the elders. If you insist on refusing to make someone, don't blame us for being impolite," Ling Chong said coldly.
"Come on, who is afraid of who!" Ling Tao beside him was always the one who eats soft but not hard. When he heard that Ling Chong was about to start his hand, he immediately flipped the spear in his hand.
Ling Chong was not slow either, the long sword flew out from behind like a rainbow.
Now Ling Tang hurriedly said round the field: "Don't do it, everyone has something to say."
Although Ling Tang has a close relationship with Ling Chong, he is not good at tearing his face with Ling Zhan and Ling Tao. He must be the son of the patriarch, and now he is backed by the elders too. He never dares to offend people at will. of.
Ling Chong had already spared it. This time was a good opportunity to get rid of Ling Xiao, and it was also a chance to strike at the head of the patriarch. He ignored Ling Tang's words at all. Today, he must force Ling Xiao to appear.
"Who sees it at the door of my house, it's really unqualified!" A lazy voice came from behind everyone.
The person who came was not Ling Xiao, but he was followed by a one-eyed eagle.
Yesterday, after killing someone, Ling Xiao went straight back to Houshan. Instead of continuing to practice, he chose to meditate for a long time. First, he meditated for a long time to recover his profound strength, and then soaked in the bath tub at night to absorb the medicine.
One night later, Ling Xiao had almost recovered.
He killed the members of the Li family and the Lan family, and believed that the two would definitely not give up, so he let the eagle who surrendered to him early to inquire about the news.
The news of Li and Lan came from Duying.
Ling Xiao didn't want his parents to be embarrassed. Moreover, he was not afraid of the two families coming to make trouble, so he took the initiative to dedicate himself.
"Ling Xiao (Master)!" Luo Qingshuang and Bai Yuxi exclaimed at the same time.
"Hey, little fat girl, why are you here?" Ling Xiao asked, looking at the beautiful Luo Qingshuang with a bit of astonishment.
"You... you bastard!" Luo Qingshuang stomped and stopped. She didn't understand why this guy would itch her with anger every time, but she didn't know why a sweet feeling lingered in her heart.
"Are you thinking Ben Shao, I've said it all, can you see Ben Shao every day by doing a personal maid for Ben Shao?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but jokingly asked.
In his eyes, Luo Qingshuang and Bai Yuxi are rare beauties.
"Huh, you are now in a catastrophe and you still want to smile" Luo Qingshuang reminded Ling Xiao with a red cloud rising on his cheeks.
Ling Xiao smiled and turned his eyes to Ling Chong and Ling Tang who were looking at him.
"Yeah, isn't this the manager? Why bet at my door? Is it because my father didn't invite you in for tea? You are really welcome, father. You are all guests, so you can't be so rude." Ling Xiaohuan With a funny look, Yin and Yang said to Ling Chong strangely.
"Puff!" Luo Qingshuang couldn't help laughing first, and then covered his gaffe with his delicate hands.
Ling Chong was about to speak, and Ling Tang said first this time: "Deacon Ling Xiao, the elders have asked you to come to the inner courtyard, hurry up with us, don't let the elders wait too long."
Ling Tang breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best if Ling Xiao could automatically appear.
"Don't go, Xiaoer" Meng Xiyun immediately pulled Ling Xiao and said before Ling Xiao responded.
Ling Xiao ignored his mother's words, but looked at Ling Tang and Ling Chong playfully and said, "Oh, it turned out that the elders have invited me. I'll just say, it's impossible to run to my house to drink tea early in the morning. Besides, I don’t have so much tea to entertain you."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up with us," Ling Chong ordered as he listened to Ling Xiao's weird words.
"Hehe, if you tell me to leave, then I'm not very shameless" Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Dare you defy the elders' meaning?" Ling Chong said coldly.
Ling Xiao ignored Ling Chong, but asked Ling Tang: "Deacon Ling Tang, the elders tell me to go there?".
Ling Tang nodded and replied, "Yeah, yeah, hurry up with me."
"Well, since the deacon Lingtang fisted, I'll just go with you for it," Ling Xiao replied with a very reluctant expression.
Ling laughed at these words, so that Ling Chong couldn't stab him to death with a single sword! This was obviously a shame on the spot.
