The Four Seas of Zhongzhou - Chapter 1678 - Prophet Ling
Qinglong City, Ling Family.
"Lord of Skull Island."
"hateful."
"Twenty Thunder Cloud warships only brought back one Huangfu Qi." In the Ling family hall, Prophet Ling was furious. Within three days, they sent more troops to search for Ling Xue at sea.
, if you want to die, you want to see a corpse. If you live, you want to see people.
But they know that doing so will undoubtedly mean finding a needle in a haystack and falling into the dead sea, where it is impossible to survive.
"Clan leader, the Huangfu family has begun to withdraw the Thunder Cloud battleship."
"What does Huangfutian mean?"
"Patriarch, to put it bluntly, Miss Lingxue may be in danger now. With the character of the Huangfu family, it is very likely that the contract will be broken."
"How dare he, Huangfu, break the contract."
Prophet Ling was extremely angry at this moment. Ling Xue was the most important being in the Ling family. Not only was she extremely talented, but her bloodline and martial spirit were special, making her a unique being in the family.
The reason why the Huangfu family married the Ling family was because of the Ling family's bloodline.
The two major families relied on marriage to maintain their relationship, and this generation of the Huangfu family produced an unrivaled genius, Huangfu Long. Qia Lingxue was also the darling daughter of heaven, so they decided to get married.
But now that Ling Xue is dead, the marriage may be...
"Clan leader, someone from the Huangfu family sent a letter." At this moment, people from the Ling family rushed over from outside the main hall.
"Letter? What letter?"
"I want the clan leader to see it in person." The man didn't read it, but handed the information on the jade slip to Prophet Ling.
The moment Prophet Ling opened the letter, his whole face changed drastically. A force directly shattered the message, and his face was filled with anger.
"Chief, what happened?"
"Huangfu Long dared to write a letter of divorce." Ling Xiezi's anger spread.
"A letter of divorce?" The entire Ling family was shocked.
The Huangfu family actually gave the Ling family a letter of divorce. The seriousness of this matter exceeded their expectations.
"Damn it, the Huangfu family is too crazy. Without the support of our Ling family, how can he still hold the position of city lord?" Many strong men in the Ling family hall said with anger.
"Clan leader, something bad has happened. The Huangfu family seems to be in contact with the Lin family."
"Bastard, Huangfu Tian is ungrateful, you bastard." Ling Xianzhe was furious.
"Patriarch, if this continues for a long time, our Huangfu family might become victims of their struggle for royal power." Some elders said worriedly.
Prophet Ling also frowned. In the entire hall, the Ling family members were frowning. They did not expect that things would develop like this.
"Report, report."
At this moment, news came from outside the door again, and a person rushed over, with shock and anxiety written on his face.
"Asshole, it's family meeting time now, how can you, a guard, show up here?" Ling Xianzhi was already boiling with anger, and the guard almost hit the muzzle of a gun.
Seeing that Prophet Ling was about to strike with a palm, the guard turned pale with fright: "Chief, it's the young lady who is back."
What?
The palm wind stopped, and the crowd in the entire hall was shocked. They even suspected that they had heard wrongly. Even Prophet Ling was stunned on the spot.
"What did you say? If you dare to lie to me, I will cut you into pieces."
The guard was too frightened to speak.
"Father." At this time, a clear voice came from outside the door, and a beautiful figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"Xue'er, is it really you?" Ling Xianzhe said in disbelief.
"Father, it's me." Ling Xue shed tears of excitement, and Prophet Ling's body trembled even more.
"It's really Xiaoxue." The entire Ling family in the hall was dumbfounded. Ling Yizhi witnessed Ling Xue falling into the Dead Sea with his own eyes. At that time, it was not that he didn't want to save him, but that he was helpless.
How could one not be surprised to see her appear at this moment?
"Third uncle, it's me."
The Ling family members gathered around Ling Xue to inquire about her welfare, completely ignoring the young man who came in with Ling Xue.
Ling Xue was also very excited. After a while, she heard that Chen Tian was still there, and she quickly said: "Father, he saved me."
Ling Xue looked towards Chen Tian.
Only then did the crowd realize that there was a strange man in the hall.
"Who is this young hero?"
"Junior Chen Tian, I have met all the seniors." Chen Tian said respectfully and politely.
"Chen Tian?" They had never heard of this person before.
Prophet Ling looked at Chen Tian solemnly: "Did you save the little girl?"
"When I escaped from Skull Island with Miss Ling, I saved Miss Ling Xue by the way."
"Oh, are you also a person who escaped from Skull Island?" The news brought back by Ling Yizhi indeed contained many people who escaped from Skull Island, and the doubts in Ling Xiezi's heart were reduced a bit.
"Chen Tian, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I, Prophet Ling, will never be vague about what reward you want for saving Ling Xue." Prophet Ling said.
But his tone made Chen Tian feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't come to the Ling family just to take credit.
"Father, don't scare him. Chentian, I'll have someone take you down to wash up and have a rest. Father and I will thank you in person after the dinner." Lingxue actually looked in the direction of Chentian gently, which made the whole Lingxue
The family was a little surprised.
"Come, please quickly arrange for the distinguished guests. We will hold a dinner party tonight. I want to personally thank this little brother." Ling Xianzhi also said excitedly.
"Yes, patriarch."
"Little brother, come with me." Ling Yizhi personally arranged for Chen Tian.
The Ling family is an extremely huge existence, with luxurious interiors that can be called a palace. It is just a family in Qinglong City that has such a luxurious mansion, which shows that the land of Kyushu occupies countless resources.
Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh, compared with a city in Kyushu, the territory of all nations was a miserable loser.
No wonder Kyushu is a paradise for warriors.
As long as you work hard, as long as you don't die, as long as you are strong enough, time will give you everything you want in this land of Kyushu.
"Little brother, where are you from?" Ling Yi asked on the way.
"I come from the wasteland." Chen Tian said.
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, looking slightly disappointed. After all, the people who came from the wasteland were low-status people, and they looked down on Chen Tian in their hearts.
Chen Tian also felt the change in his attitude, but just smiled and said nothing. This is the human heart. The strong are respected by others, and the weak. People without prominent status are despised by others. This is the case no matter where they go.
.
"Little brother, this east wing is used to entertain distinguished guests. You can stay here for now. I will arrange for someone to take care of you. When you are ready, I will send someone to pick you up during the dinner." Although Chen Tian comes from the wasteland, after all,
He was the benefactor who saved Ling Xue, and Ling Yizhi was not too indifferent.
This attitude is already much better than Chen Tian expected.
"Thank you, senior."
Chentian is indeed a little tired these days, and after experiencing the Dead Sea, Chentian's body is somewhat dirty, which is why the Ling family asked him to come down to bathe and clean up.
After a while, the servants of the Ling family arranged the new clothes and the basin and placed them in front of Chen Tian.
At this moment, only Ling Xianzi and Ling Xue were left in the Ling family's main hall.
"Xue'er, please tell me what happened after that day. I want to hear the detailed process." Being able to survive after falling into the dead sea is a miracle. Prophet Ling was extremely concerned about what happened to his daughter.
curious.
Ling Xue did not dare to hide anything and told her father the whole story of what happened.
After hearing this, Prophet Ling had an extremely complicated expression on his face.
"You said you survived on a desert island for several days, alone and alone?" This incident made Ling Xianxian uneasy.
"Yes, Father, but nothing happened to us."
"Will anyone know when you come back?" Prophet Ling said solemnly.
"Many people in the port have seen it." Ling Xue answered truthfully.
Prophet Ling's face turned pale and he was silent for a moment. The air became quiet, and Ling Xue was so nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat.
"Father, is there anything wrong with this?"
"Hey, rumors are the only thing that can't be contained. But you can come back safely. This is already the luck of our Ling family."
"Father, Chen Tian knows how to repair battleships. His talent is not weak, and his strength is not inferior to Xue'er. If you can recruit him to my Ling family, it will be a good choice." Ling Xue said proactively, and he brought Chen Tian here.
This is the purpose of the Ling family.
"Let's consider this matter in the long term." Ling Xianzhi said seriously.
Ling Xue was puzzled, but at this moment he didn't know the complicated mood in Ling Xie's heart.
Her daughter is the sweet girl of heaven, and she should have married Huangfu Long, but now the entire Qinglong City knows that Ling Xue is almost dead, and now that Ling Xue has returned, she is still with a strange man.
Regardless of whether they are innocent or not, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, things have become complicated. No one believes that with Ling Xue's beauty, she spent several days on a desert island with a man, and even went in and out of a battleship together.
Even Seer Ling couldn't believe that people could be innocent.
After all, he is a man himself, so he understands men very well.
"Father, what are you thinking about?" Ling Xue saw that her father, Ling Xianzhi, was silent and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing. By the way, Xue'er, you have traveled a long way, so you should go and rest first. As for Chen Tian's matter, let's see how he behaves tonight. After all, your bloodline is special. If this person approaches our Ling family with purpose,
But that’s not a good thing.”
Ling Xue nodded but still said: "Chen Tian should be fine."
"Okay, I understand, don't you think you mentioned him too much?" Ling Xie's expression made Ling Xue tremble slightly.
Ling Xue had no choice but to resign.
"Chen Tian!" Prophet Ling muttered, but a cold murderous intention flashed in his eyes, but in the blink of an eye he couldn't bear it anymore.
Firstly, no matter what, Chentian has ruined Lingxue's reputation. Even if they are innocent, no one will believe it. Secondly, Chentian saved Lingxue and is the benefactor of the Ling family. If the Ling family is ungrateful and takes action against Chentian, it will inevitably happen.
It will lead to a reputation of being ruthless and meaningless.
Prophet Ling frowned and wandered back and forth in the hall. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Boy, it's just that you came at the wrong time. It's also no wonder that I was cruel."
