"Mom, is this what happened?" Ling Yunfeng's eyes suddenly changed as he entered the small courtyard and asked.
Therefore, he found that his small yard had become completely new. The flowers and plants in the yard had been trimmed, and the small pool that was originally full of sewage had been cleaned and filled with clean water.
Several low and dilapidated small rooms in the small courtyard had obviously been renovated. Through the gaps in the rooms, he could see that there were many brand new furniture in each room.
The door to his room was also open, and when he looked in, he could see that everything inside seemed to have been emptied.
"Feng'er, it was your uncle who asked you to move to the front yard," said Su.
"Go to the front yard? Why?" Ling Yunfeng asked.
"Yun Feng, uncle said that he has discussed with the elders and may let you return to the family and recognize your ancestors, and let you live in the front yard first." At this moment, Ling Xueyan walked out of the hall and said,
Behind her were Ling Mengyu and Ling Mo.
"Return to the family? Recognize the ancestors and return to the clan? Not interested. Ling Mo, where are my things? Go and get them back for me." Ling Yunfeng said.
"Master, don't worry. All your things are still there and haven't been moved away. They're just packed up. It depends on what the master wants." Ling Mo said.
Having followed the young master for so long, he knew a little about the young master's temper, so when Ling Xueyan came to ask him to move Ling Yunfeng's things to the front yard a few days ago, he tried his best to stop her, saying that he must wait until the young master came back before moving.
"That's good, mother, we can live here." Ling Yunfeng said, and then took his mother to sit down in the hall.
"Feng'er, you'd better go to the front yard. Your fifth uncle said that you will be in danger here. Look, your fifth uncle sent a few people to protect you that day." Su Shi pointed to the outside of the hall and said.
Hearing this, Ling Yunfeng looked out and saw about ten big men in his small yard. They were probably called by his fifth uncle to protect him. It seemed that his fifth uncle really didn't say anything to him, but he
I don't have a good impression of the Ling family at all, and I don't want to live in the front yard.
"Feng'er, your uncle and fifth uncle told me that they will let you live in the front yard first, and then they will let you return to the family and find a way for you to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan. This has been my mother's wish all along.
"Su said.
"This... forget it, what would they do if I were still the loser I was before?" Ling Yunfeng flashed his eyes and sneered. Hearing what his mother said, he also knew that the Ling family members might have said something to their mother before.
"Yun Feng, I know you have a lot of grievances, but if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother! The fact that you can move to the front yard means that the family has begun to recognize you. Returning to the family with your current talent is
No problem. As long as you return to the family, you can help your mother return to the family when you have a greater say in the family." Ling Xueyan said.
"What? You mean to say that I am the only one who returns to the family and moves to the front yard, while my mother still lives here?"
Hearing this, Ling Yunfeng immediately looked at Ling Xueyan and asked. He originally thought that the Ling family would let their mother and son return to the family and move to the front yard. Unexpectedly, they only asked him to move to the front yard, while his mother continued to live there.
If you suffer here, you will be even less likely to agree.
"This... Yun Feng, there are conditions for returning to the family, mother..." Ling Xueyan hesitated and said.
"Feng'er, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just a maid. As long as I can see you in the future, I'll be satisfied if I see you living well, eating well, living happily, and seeing me often in the future.
"Su Shi said with a slight smile, her eyes already very satisfied.
This is the great selfless love of motherhood. As a mother, as long as she sees her children living well, she will be satisfied. What does it matter if she suffers a little more?
"Mother..." Ling Yunfeng looked at his mother's soft eyes, with an inexplicable sourness in his heart. The more his mother behaved like this, the more unfair he felt. How could he feel relieved and happy when his mother was suffering here?
Gotta get up.
Then Ling Yunfeng looked at Ling Xueyan and said, "Sister Xueyan, please stop trying to persuade me. I will not move to the front yard unless the Ling family agrees to a condition."
"What conditions? Just tell me. I think with your talent, the Ling family will agree to it if you can do it." Ling Xueyan said.
"It's okay for me to return to the family, but my mother must also return together. At the same time, I must first give my mother a formal title." Ling Yunfeng said.
"This..." Ling Xueyan was speechless immediately. She couldn't make the decision on this kind of thing. It was already difficult for her mother to return to the family, and it was even more difficult to get a status.
I'm afraid no one except the Ling family's elders can promise easily, not even the old patriarch.
"Okay, I promise you." At this moment, a strong voice came from outside, and then a tall figure walked into the courtyard.
"Fifth Master, why are you here? Please sit down quickly." When she saw the person coming, Mrs. Su hurriedly stood up and said, this person was Ling Pengyi. As soon as Ling Pengyi heard that Ling Yunfeng was back, he quickly put down what he was doing and came here.
I happened to hear their conversation at this time.
"Fifth Uncle!" Ling Xueyan and others also saluted hurriedly.
"You're welcome." Ling Pengyi said, then looked at Ling Yunfeng and said: "Feng'er, you can move to the front yard first. I will discuss your conditions with the elders."
"Uncle Wu, let's wait until you agree. I don't want to disappoint my mother." Ling Yunfeng said.
"Okay! That's it for now. But now, you come with me to see your grandfather." Ling Pengyi pondered for a while and said.
"Meet grandpa? What's the matter?" Ling Yunfeng asked doubtfully. In his memory, he had not seen his cheap grandpa several times in more than ten years.
"You'll know when you go there," Ling Pengyi said.
"Okay." Ling Yunfeng said after hesitating for a while. He didn't know what his cheap grandfather wanted to do with him. If he still persuaded him to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, he would not compromise without agreeing to his conditions.
Ling Pengyi then left the courtyard with Ling Yunfeng. Before leaving, Ling Pengyi asked someone to take Ling Zhanxuan and Ling Luofeng away to the ancestral hall.
Seeing this, Ling Yunfeng couldn't help but feel a little confused. Wasn't he asked to see his cheap grandfather? Why did he call these two people? However, Ling Yunfeng didn't ask any more questions.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ling Pengyi and Ling Zhanxuan arrived at a courtyard in the front yard of the Ling family.
At this time, four guards were standing in front of the courtyard. These four guards had cold-light weapons hanging on their waists, and their auras were extremely strong, making Ling Yunfeng feel faintly depressed.
Moreover, these four people also have a strong bloody evil aura around them, and they are obviously people who have experienced life and death.
"These four people are not simple. I'm afraid they are all high-level warriors, and they are also high-level warriors who have experienced life and death." Looking at the indifferent and expressionless faces of the four people, Ling Yunfeng said secretly.
"Fifth Master!" Seeing Ling Pengyi step forward, the four of them saluted hurriedly, but there was still no emotion in their voices. If he didn't know the nature of these people, Ling Pengyi would probably think that they were disrespecting him.
"Yes!" Ling Pengyi nodded casually and then led Ling Yunfeng into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ling Yunfeng was a little surprised. He found that there were several people dressed like the four guards in front of the door standing in various corners of the courtyard, and their auras were no weaker than the four people in front of the door.
Through his powerful soul perception, Ling also discovered that in addition to these people in the open, there were also several auras hidden among the hidden trees in the courtyard.
"This is the cemetery of the ancestors of the Ling family. The ancestors who are qualified to be buried here are at least above the King of Martial Arts." Seeing Ling Yunfeng's somewhat surprised expression, Ling Pengyi explained.
Hearing this, Ling Yunfeng finally understood. No wonder the defense here is so tight. It turns out that some terrifying strong men are buried there. If the tombs of these strong men are not guarded, they will usually attract the covetousness of some tomb robbers or some living people.
Destroyed by enemies.
"Come in." Gradually, the two of them arrived outside a room, and Ling Pengyi took Ling Yunfeng directly and pushed the door open.
This room is not very big, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, with only a few tables, chairs and a few bookshelves.
Entering the room, their eyes immediately noticed the two middle-aged people in the room. These two people were Ling Zhanxuan, the boss of the Ling family, and Ling Luofeng, the fourth child.
"Here, let's go. Dad has been waiting for us for a long time." Seeing the two people coming in, Ling Zhanxuan looked at Ling Yunfeng with a deep look and said.
Ling Luofeng also looked at Ling Yunfeng and smiled slightly, making the latter a little confused.
Then Ling Zhanxuan pushed open a bookshelf while Ling Yunfeng was dumbfounded, and pressed lightly against the wall.
Suddenly there was a creaking sound on the ground, and then a stone slab on the ground moved slowly. After a while, a deep hole with a diameter of two meters square appeared in front of everyone.
"There is also a secret passage." Ling Yunfeng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this secret passage.
"Come in. Your grandfather is waiting for us below." Ling Zhanxuan said, and then took the lead to enter the secret passage.
Ling Yunfeng hesitated for a while and then walked in, but he muttered in his heart: "What on earth is going on that is so mysterious?"
This secret passage is very narrow, allowing only three people to walk side by side. The sides of the secret passage are thick stone walls, and I don't know how strong they are.
At the beginning, the secret passage was dark. After Mo continued walking for about ten meters, the rock wall suddenly slowly became brighter. On the stone walls on both sides, every few meters, there would be a piece of soft light inlaid on the stone wall.
Crystals of light.
Ling Yunfeng glanced at the spar embedded in the rock wall and knew that the spar emitting soft light was called moonstone. It was a common lighting item in this world. It was not very precious and could be purchased for just a few gold coins.
to one piece.
With doubts in his heart, Ling Yunfeng followed the three people and continued walking for a few dozen meters. Suddenly, an empty stone room hundreds of meters in size appeared in front of everyone.
In the stone room, an old figure stood in the back. It seemed that someone was coming. The old figure turned around and looked at the people in front of him with a slight smile and said: "Here he comes."
