Chapter 1473 Leaving the Ling Family
After some thanks, Ling Chengtai sat back in the top seat, and Xiao Yi also sat down beside him.
As for Ling Qianfan, he naturally stood behind Ling Zhengqing, which inevitably attracted a lot of people's attention, and even some elders had a hint of displeasure on their faces.
But from beginning to end, they never had any opinions about Ling Chengtai, the head of the family.
In fact, many of Ling Chengtai's previous actions did "deceive" most people, not to mention that Ling Qianfan's return this time was Ling Zhengqing's idea.
In Ling Qianfan's view, those unfriendly looks no longer had any meaning.
What she was thinking about most at this moment was her father's less than three months to live, and nothing else mattered.
Ling Yunpeng's expression changed. He always felt that there was something going on. At least Ling Qianfan's return was not that simple. He probably really wanted to return to the Ling family.
If a few months later, the old man really passed away as Ling Deyuan said, would Ling Qianfan jump out to harm him, or try to take back some of the right to speak?
If that's the case, then it makes sense for Xiao Yi to help Ling Qianfan right now...
"No! We can't let this happen!"
Ling Yunpeng said to himself that his heart-to-heart talk with Ling Zhengqing last night was simply to paralyze the other party, or in other words, to leave himself a way out.
"Everyone."
Ling Chengtai spoke in a resounding voice. He wanted to give the Ling family hope, even if it was only for three months!
The entire Ling family swept away the gloom of the past.
"This time, I was in danger. If Mr. Xiao hadn't taken action, I wouldn't be sitting here."
Ling Chengtai continued to emphasize.
"Now that I have recovered, the Ling family must get back on track. Some people who are secretly plotting something bad..."
Upon hearing this, the faces of many members of the Ling family changed. What... did this mean?
"I mean, those outside are the forces that covet my Ling family."
Ling Chengtai explained that it actually meant to "knock on the mountain and scare the tiger".
In fact, this is what he is most grateful to Xiao Yi for, because because of his reawakening, the Ling family was not in chaos.
He knew very well that if he really passed away, it would be difficult for his son Ling Zhengqing to stabilize the situation.
Ling Deyuan, who was standing in the front row, had a calm face. Being an experienced man, he thought he had never revealed any flaws, but the people behind him were somewhat worried.
It is undeniable that now that Ling Chengtai has woken up, it will be difficult for them to take any further action...
Next, Ling Chengtai said a lot more, and most people in the Ling family felt encouraged.
"Finally...there is something I still want to tell you."
Ling Chengtai said slowly.
Everyone noticed his tone and became confused.
"I'm actually... just getting through this difficult time temporarily. It doesn't mean I'm completely fine."
Ling Chengtai said in a deep voice.
"I still have... half a year to live. This is my destiny, and it is not something Mr. Xiao can change."
"what!"
Many people's expressions changed. How could this happen?
Xiao Yi and the others were also a little puzzled. They thought Ling Chengtai would keep the matter secret for the time being, but they didn't expect him to confess, although he only said half a year.
For a time, all kinds of discussions and concerns arose one after another.
"You don't have to worry too much. Half a year is enough time for me to break through to the third-grade Martial Saint! Then nothing will happen. After that, the Ling family will hopefully become a super family in the Kunlun Realm!"
Ling Chengtai continued.
The reason why he did not hide it was that he actually hoped that everyone in the Ling family would have a sense of crisis, which was for the sake of the overall situation.
As for saying half a year instead of less than three months, it was also to reassure people.
After hearing his words, the tense hearts of the entire Ling family relaxed a little and hope was rekindled.
Ling Deyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and naturally did not believe what Ling Chengtai said about "half a year".
He noticed Ling Yunpeng's gaze, but he didn't look at it at all, nor did he respond.
After a few more words, everyone dispersed. Ling Chengtai could no longer hold on, so he said hello to Xiao Yi and went back to his room temporarily.
"Senior Ling, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Yi moved closer to Ling Zhengqing, and the three of them quickly went to a side room.
"Xiao Yi, please understand your father's intention. In fact, he doesn't want to treat Qian Fan like this."
Ling Zhengqing wanted to explain.
"I see."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"What I'm saying is that I may be able to extend the old man's time."
Ling Zhengqing and his sister looked at each other, both unable to believe it for a moment.
Xiao Yi took out the ancient book, opened it, and handed it to the brother and sister.
"This is the Qingyang Divine Willow..."
Xiao Yi introduced.
As Ling Zhengqing and his sister watched and listened to Xiao Yi's words, their expressions kept changing, and a look of hope flashed across their faces.
“Even if we can really find this divine willow, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find an opportunity with it.”
After hearing what Xiao Yi said, Ling Zhengqing said worriedly.
“Gotta try it!”
Ling Qianfan said firmly.
"Ah."
Ling Zhengqing nodded.
"But the area described in this ancient book may be very different from the current area."
"I don't have time to think about it anymore. I'm leaving now! Xiao Yi, lend me this ancient book first."
Ling Qianfan said.
"Sister Ling, what do you mean? Why don't you take me to play?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Xiao Yi, you have done enough for me and my father. Next, I will do it myself."
Ling Qianfan shook his head.
"Qian Fan is right, Xiao Yi..."
Ling Zhengqing also spoke.
"No, no, I'm not doing this entirely for the old man. I'm mainly curious about this divine willow. If it thinks I'm too handsome, it might give me some opportunities."
Xiao Yi looked relaxed.
"You know it's not that simple, even..."
Ling Qianfan said seriously.
"Of course I know."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Well!"
Ling Qianfan no longer insisted, knowing that he could not defeat Xiao Yi.
"Then I'll bring a few elders with you."
Ling Zhengqing said.
"No, brother, father has just woken up and we need you at home."
Ling Qianfan shook his head.
"Also...it's better not to let too many people know about this."
Ling Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Ling Qianfan meant.
"Xiao Yi and I will leave right now. No one will care whether we stay or go."
Ling Qianfan continued.
"But……"
Ling Zhengqing frowned.
"How about this, you guys go first, I'll let Second Uncle chase you, he can also guide you in the direction."
"Second uncle...Okay!"
Ling Qianfan did not refuse, knowing that her second uncle Ling Xiuwen was a staunch supporter of her eldest brother and was trustworthy.
Besides, he is at the second level of Martial Saint and will definitely be able to help.
"Xiao Yi, be careful!"
Ling Zhengqing said.
"Do not worry."
Xiao Yi nodded.
Afterwards, Ling Zhengqing left first, and Xiao Yi and Ling Qianfan studied the area in the ancient book again.
“You don’t have to take everything on yourself.”
Ling Qianfan closed the ancient book and said seriously.
"Also, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay this favor of yours."
"Then don't pay it back. It's no big deal."
Xiao Yi shrugged.
"The main thing is that I am naturally sensitive to opportunities. Brother Zhong said that the significance of the Divine Willow is comparable to that of a divine weapon. Do you think I can sit still?"
"Um……"
Ling Qianfan nodded. Some things don’t need to be said. Just keep them in mind.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Brother Zhong to help when necessary, and nothing will happen."
Xiao Yi comforted.
Ten minutes later, the two left the Ling family quietly.
