The boat stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the servants of the Ling family came up to meet it.
After hearing the steward's report, Ling Yongnian turned around and said, "Bu Fei, our ancestor has just taken the elixir and is resting at the moment. It is inconvenient to see people. Why don't you go and settle down first and go see me later."
With that said, he called Ling Weifang again: "Take your eldest brother to Jingyue Xuan, don't neglect it."
Ling Weifang responded with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will entertain you well and let my brother feel the warmth of home."
Ling Weijun looked at him with envy. He also wanted to be valued by his grandfather, but it was a pity that such a good thing was not his turn.
Ling Bufei glanced at him and asked, "I heard that in addition to my sister, there is a younger brother in the family, but I don't know who he is?"
Ling Weijun replied excitedly: "It's me, it's me, brother, my name is Weijun!"
Ling Bufei looked over, smiled and nodded to him, and said: "There are only three of us brothers and sisters. It's rare for us to have a chance to get along with each other. Why don't we come with my second brother? There are many people here, and my sister can handle it by herself. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it.
"
Ling Weijun was overjoyed and looked at Ling Yongnian expectantly.
Ling Yongnian didn't think much, nodded and said: "Weijun, stay with your brother, be more steady, and don't act nonsense."
Ling Yongnian left, and Ling Weifang smiled and pointed the way: "Brother, go this way."
Ling Weifang introduced while leading the way: "Jingyue Xuan was originally my uncle's retreat. My grandfather said that my uncle lived there before he left home. Over the years, although my eldest brother has never come back, we have always sent people to clean and maintain it, and all the furnishings have been restored.
Just like when uncle was here."
Ling Bufei nodded lightly: "Uncle is interested."
Ling Weifang then introduced him to the nearby scenery and the situation at home... Ling Weijun was not as talkative as she was, so he could only try to interject a few words in between.
Not long after, Jing Yuexuan arrived. This is a relatively remote hilltop. It can be seen that the house had declined when Ling Yunzhou was a boy. However, since he later soared into the sky, Jing Yuexuan has been expanded and renovated, so it does not look shabby.
After reading the layout, Ling Bufei asked Bai Mengjin and Ji Xingge: "Where do you want to live? Go and choose first!" Then he said to Ling Weifang, "Sister, please come with them to check it out. You girls will be easier to talk to."
Ling Weifang did not doubt that he was there and nodded with a smile: "Miss Bai, Miss Ji, look at these rooms..."
The three of them walked away. Ling Bufei sat down and called to Ling Weijun: "Second brother, please sit down. I don't know how long it will take for the girl to talk. I guess we have to wait for a while."
Ling Weijun was flattered, he responded repeatedly, and sat down cautiously.
I have always heard that this eldest brother is so shapeless. He has a bad temper even if he cannot practice cultivation. That is to say, he is destined to be a young sect leader. Now I see that those people are talking nonsense. Look at the character and demeanor of the eldest brother. How can he be so shapeless?
?He is so kind to people, which is much better than the dog at home who looks down on people.
Ling Bufei chose a topic at random: "My uncle said that our ancestor just took the elixir. Could it be that he is unwell?"
Ling Weijun smiled naively and said: "Brother, don't worry, the elixirs are for health. My ancestor is old and may sometimes be in low spirits, but there is no serious illness."
Ling Bufei nodded: "My ancestors have worked hard these years. As we get older, we have to support the family."
Ling Weijun said: "Fortunately, my grandfather is mainly in charge of the family affairs, and my aunt will also help. It's just that the ancestors are indispensable."
Ling Bufei immediately asked: "I have met my great-uncle, but I don't know what my great-uncle's temperament is like. Is it easy to get along with him?"
"Don't worry, brother," Ling Weijun said enthusiastically, "my aunt has a very good temper, and she will take care of all the close affairs of our ancestors..."
When it got dark, Ling Weifang and Ling Weijun finally said goodbye and left.
"I'm exhausted!" Ji Xingge sat down on the chair and said to Ling Bufei, "This sister of yours is completely different from you. She has more eyes than a freshly picked lotus root, and she keeps making lies!"
Ling Bufei glanced over: "Are you sure you're not too stupid?"
Ji Xingge was unhappy: "Hey, what's the matter with you? I'll accompany you back to build up your momentum. Can you say something nice?"
"That's right, if Senior Sister Ji hadn't brought so many people together, how could we have suppressed them as soon as we appeared." Bai Mengjin came over and offered her a cup of tea, "Thank you for your hard work today, Senior Sister Ji."
Ji Xingge chuckled: "Junior Sister Bai is better."
"Okay, okay, okay," Ling Bufei straightened up and also raised a toast, "Thank you, Miss Ji, for the luanniao. It's just something else. This thing is only available in Qifeng Valley."
Ji Xingge snorted and felt happy.
Baili Xu came in from the outside: "Sir, I have finished checking and found nothing suspicious. The protective formation has also been set up."
Ling Bufei nodded: "Then let's rest! Tomorrow is the birthday banquet, so I won't be able to rest for the whole day."
"But the master has already arrived, won't the young master go and pay his respects?"
Ling Bufei sneered: "What's there to see? Haven't you seen enough in the sect? It's okay to say I'm rude, I'm too lazy to pretend to them."
He is willing to greet Ling Weifang and Ling Weijun with a smile because old grudges have nothing to do with them. Those old ones? They don't deserve it!
------------------
In the main courtyard, Ling Yongnian was sitting and drinking a cup of tea when there was movement in the room.
An old man with half-white beard and hair came out, accompanied by a middle-aged woman.
"Father." Ling Yongnian stood up quickly to greet him.
Mr. Ling sat down at the main seat, took the tea from his daughter, and asked, "Did you receive someone? How is it?"
Ling Yongnian replied: "This child looks very similar to his father, but he is a bit grand and likes to be supported."
Mr. Ling didn't take it seriously: "With his status, this is not a big problem. The main thing is to see if he has the idea of competing with Yun Gao."
Ling Yongnian hesitated for a moment and answered conservatively: "The etiquette is thorough, and the ambition is not obvious yet. I think he has a rebellious temperament, and he does not necessarily want to fight for power."
Old Master Ling nodded. Thinking about it in Ling Bufei's place, it was normal for his uncle to take over the position of sect leader that should have belonged to him. It was normal to be unconvinced.
"Yongjia, what did you say?"
The middle-aged woman who was serving tea and pouring water just now said with a smile: "This child was born unable to practice cultivation. It took him eighteen years of hard work to see the light of day. It is human nature to feel angry. Since he likes to be held up, it is best to hold him up high.
.If we can calm him down, it will save trouble. Even if he still wants to fight for power, we will leave some room for it so as not to affect the family."
"What the fourth sister said is true." Ling Yongnian agreed, "We are all one family, so why argue? Alas, it was Yun Gao who didn't care about him too much in the past few years. Otherwise, how would he be in trouble today?"
Old Master Ling also thought so, but this was his grandson and he didn't want to say that he wasn't, so he said: "Then let's do this for now! Try to ease the relationship between their uncle and nephew. If the child listens to the advice, everyone will be happy. If he doesn't listen to the advice,
…”
Mr. Ling paused for a moment: "Pay attention to whether he is dissatisfied with us, in case he leaves any trouble."
