Chapter 715: Immense Affection


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“Yun Er, Grandpa’s injuries aren’t serious. Come over and meet your first and second uncles…”


One’s spirit would be good during a joyous occasion. Ling Lie had hoped for this all day and night, and his grandson finally came back home. Now that Ling Yun stood right in front of him, he pulled Ling Yun’s hand and was extremely delighted. His severely injured body instantly became a little better.


Presently, Ling Zhen and Ling Yue arrived in front of Ling Yun. Ling Lie let go of Ling Yun’s hand as he pointed at Ling Zhen. “This is your eldest uncle and the current head of the family…”


Ling Yun’s divine sense covered the sixth and seventh courtyards, so he had already seen Ling Zhen. He had seen the photos of everyone here, so he knew that this was Ling Zhen. He stood straight and bowed slightly. “Ling Yun greets Eldest Uncle!”


Ling Yun didn’t kneel down!


In Ling Yun’s eyes, there were only two people who deserved him kneeling in front of them. They were Ling Lie and Ling Xiao, and no one else!


There was a trace of anger in Ling Zhen’s eyes, and his heart sank. However, he knew his place, and he immediately patted Ling Yun on the shoulder in an amicable manner. He smiled cordially as he said, “Ling Yun, Third Brother’s son! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!”


Ling Zhen continued, “You arrived in Beijing not too long ago, right? Yet you managed to kill your way through the Chen Family, rescue your second uncle, and save the entire Ling Family from obliteration. You are a good kid, a really good kid! I’m glad you’re back home!”


“On your first return to the Ling Family, you’ve accomplished such an amazing feat. You are indeed the pride of our Ling Family! But… you are a child that we took great efforts to find! Do you know how hard it was for us to find you?”


Ling Zhen remained unflustered as he both acted in an amicable manner, like he should as the eldest uncle, and maintained the presence of the head of the family. His performance was perfect.


Ling Yun smiled faintly. “I’m sorry to trouble Eldest Uncle this much…”


When Ling Lie saw that Ling Yun didn’t kowtow to Ling Zhen, he was a little taken aback. However, he had heard on multiple occasions from Cui Lao about Ling Yun’s temperament. Additionally, Ling Yun had just returned home, so he couldn’t be blamed for not abiding by some of the mumbo-jumbo of the family.


Moreover, even if Ling Zhen wanted to reprimand or blame Ling Yun, there was no way Ling Lie would let him do that. It wasn’t easy for him to find this grandson, so even if Ling Yun didn’t kowtow to Ling Lie, he wouldn’t think too much about it, let alone Ling Zhen.


Ling Lie maintained his smile as he introduced Ling Yue to Ling Yun. “Yun Er, this is your second uncle, Ling Yue…”


“Ling Yun greets Second Uncle!”


Just like he did with Ling Zhen, Ling Yun stood upright and bowed slightly towards Ling Yue with a smile.


“Good kid! Good to have you back! It must have been really tough for you to live alone outside for so many years! You’ve fought hard to rescue Second Uncle from the Chen Family, so after tonight, Second Uncle will thank you properly!”


Ling Yue was the brain of the Ling Family and the most intelligent figure in the family. He was naturally not going to be calculative over whether Ling Yun knelt in front of him. Ling Yun even saved his life twice in one night. Why would he be calculative when he should be the thankful one?


Moreover, this was Ling Yun’s first return to the family, and he hadn’t even entered the ancestral hall. There was no need to trouble himself in front of so many corpses.


Therefore, Ling Yue spoke with much more love and no words of courtesy.


“It’s a pity that Third Brother isn’t here…”


Ling Yue looked at the outstanding and promising Ling Yun and thought about what his younger brother’s reaction would be if he were here. If he knew how outstanding his son was, who knew how ecstatic he would be!


“Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, Ling Li, come over here. This is your third uncle’s biological son. In the future, you guys have to treat him like your own sibling!”


Ling Yue turned around and pulled Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, and Ling Li over to introduce them to Ling Yun.


“Yun Er, you are 18 years old this year, right?” Ling Lie smiled lovingly at Ling Yun as he asked. Even Ling Xiu, who was the most doted on by Ling Lie in the past, started feeling a little envious.


However, envious was different from jealous, and Ling Xiu only needed one look at Ling Yun to treat him as her biological younger brother.


These three people were the only ones who hadn’t suffered internal injuries. Of course, they did suffer several external injuries, but under the protection of the men of sacrifice, their injuries weren’t very severe. They had already used the Healing Talismans in their hands to heal themselves, which explained why they were all so bubbly.


Eighteen years ago, during the Ling Family’s tragedy, the Devil Sect’s Holy Virgin was already nine months pregnant and was close to childbirth. Naturally, Ling Yun was 18 years old now.


“You’re only 18 years old? Hurry up and address me as your elder sister…” Ling Xiu hurried over playfully to Ling Yun’s side, holding her arms over his shoulder and acting like a big sister.


“Greetings, Big Sister…” Ling Yun wasn’t used to how friendly Ling Xiu was to him, so he scratched his head awkwardly.


“This is Ling Feng, twenty years old and also older than you! You have to address him as Big Brother!”


Ling Xiu pointed to the incredibly excited Ling Feng and introduced him to Ling Yun.


“Greetings, Big Brother…” He had no choice since he had chosen to come back and Ling Feng’s age was told to him, he had to address him that way. The level of hierarchy here wasn’t based on cultivation level or martial arts skill, it was solely based on age.


Ling Feng was thrilled, and he chuckled. “You can just address me as Third Brother! Hehe, Fourth Brother, you were really majestic and impressive! Incredible!”


Right? Ling Feng directly addressed Ling Yun as Fourth Brother.


Before Ling Yun could speak, Ling Xiu stared at Ling Feng and reprimanded him. “What Fourth Brother? Am I not a human? Ling Yun is clearly Fifth Brother!”


The descendants of the Ling Family didn’t have a distinction between men and women. If they chose to rank according to age, it would go, Ling Hao, Ling Yong, Ling Xiu, Ling Feng, Ling Yun, Ling Li, and Ling Xue. There were a total of seven of them, and Ling Yun was indeed ranked number five.


If they were to rank normally, where women weren’t considered, Ling Yun was indeed the fourth.


Ling Feng was frightened once he realized that Ling Xiu was glaring at him, so he dared not say anything more. Ling Xiu continued, “Tsk! I shall settle this with you after tonight. Ling Yun, this is Ling Li, and his 17th birthday just passed, so he should address you as Big Brother…”


“Fifth Brother, you’re really incredible! I even wanted to be your disciple earlier!”


Ling Li was indeed clever and quick-witted. He learned the lesson taught to Ling Feng and immediately addressed Ling Yun as Fifth Brother. He knew how terrifying his big sister could be, and he didn’t want to offend her.


“You are also pretty impressive. Your martial arts are pretty decent…” Ling Yun was finally an elder brother, so he smiled and patted Ling Li’s shoulder.


The moment Ling Yun returned home, he was welcomed by everyone in the Ling Family. He became the center of attention, receiving a lot of attention and love, which Ling Yun felt incredibly thankful for.


Ling Lie and his sons couldn’t help but smile when they saw this scene. Nothing beat having a reunion after a calamity.


“Yun Er, Grandpa knows that you are proficient in medicine. Earlier, Old Cui saved the three of us by himself, so he suffered the most injuries. Hurry up and save him first!”


Ling Lie didn’t forget about Cui Lao even while celebrating this reunion. He wanted Ling Yun to rescue Cui Lao first.


“Then Grandpa, you…”


Ling Yun used his divine sense to scan the injuries of the people here. He was aware that Cui Lao had the most severe injuries. The next one was Ling Yong, but these injuries were really nothing serious to Ling Yun at his current level. He could heal all of them within minutes, so it didn’t matter who he chose to heal first.


“Grandpa’s injuries are fine. I can brush them off after meeting you. Listen to Grandpa, go and save Cui Lao first!”


Ling Lie was insistent on rescuing Cui Lao first, and such loyalty was extremely rare in today’s world. Ling Lie treated Cui Lao as though he was related to him by blood.


Very soon, everyone arrived at the seventh courtyard, and Ling Yun flew straight towards Cui Lao. He bowed and said, “Cui Lao, Ling Yun came late and made you suffer…”


“Ahem ahem… Young Master, this old servant didn’t suffer at all. To be able to watch you come home, I’m really delighted! Ahem ahem ahem…”


Cui Lao’s complexion looked yellow, and he was covered in cold sweat. He forced out a sentence before spitting out more blood.


“Don’t say anything. Let me heal you!”


After Ling Yun said that, he didn’t let Cui Lao say anything else. He used his spiritual will to take out the Divine Willow Wood that Cui Lao handed him in Qingshui City.


The rich and powerful Wood Spiritual Energy spread out and overflowed in the courtyard. It was fresh, clean, and so spiritual that it cleansed the entire area of the smell of blood!


When everyone in the courtyard took a deep breath of air, they managed to absorb some of that rich Wood Spiritual Energy. Their spirits were immediately lifted!


At this moment, the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood in Ling Yun’s spatial ring had dark green branches growing out. Some of the branches at the peak of the wood were almost as long as a person’s finger, and there were many leaves growing out of it. The leaves were pure and sparkling, and they were emitting a large amount of pure Wood Spiritual Energy.


This was due to a continuous effort from Ling Yun, in which he provided it with his own blood and the Black Yellow True Qi. Besides growing out some roots, these two pieces of Divine Willow Wood were basically two fully grown trees.


“This is…”


“What!”


“F*ck…”


Ling Lie, Ling Zhen, and Ling Yue were astonished once again! Completely flabbergasted!


How could the three core members of the Ling Family not recognize the inheritance of the Ling Family, the Divine Willow Wood?


The Ling Family had so many members, including three Xiantian Realm experts and many Houtian Realm Level Eight and Level Nine disciples. They had constantly watered it with their blood every day and every night together with the Black Yellow True Qi. After 18 years of irrigation, they merely managed to grow a bud.


However, Ling Lie knew that he had only gotten Cui Lao to pass this dead piece of wood to Ling Yun around a month ago. How did it grow to become what it was now?


Ling Lie couldn’t believe his eyes and was excited to see how many more times his precious grandson could surprise him.


Ling Zhen was even more bewildered. At the same time, he looked a little awkward. He had never expected his father to secretly hand the Ling Family’s inheritance to Ling Yun.


The more shocking fact was how this dead piece of wood had come back to life in the hands of Ling Yun. It had transformed into something with so much life and energy that it was simply unbelievable!


After Ling Yue’s shock, he didn’t actually say anything. He merely sneaked a glance at Ling Zhen before looking back at his father. After that, he focused closely on the Divine Willow Wood that Ling Yun brought out. He had multiple thoughts and feelings on the matter.


Ling Yun didn’t take out the Divine Willow Wood for them to admire. He quickly started absorbing the large amount of Wood Spiritual Energy emitted by the Divine Willow Wood. He then quickly got behind Cui Lao and placed both his palms on Cui Lao’s back. He circulated his Yin-Yang harmony balance and helped to heal Cui Lao’s meridians.


In less than two minutes, Cui Lao’s internal injuries were healed. His face grew redder, and the circulation of the True Qi in his body circulated much smoother. At the same time, he stood up together with Ling Yun.


“Ling Family’s Old Servant, Cui Zhongwu, greets Young Master and thanks Young Master for saving my life!”


After getting up, Cui Lao started kneeling and kowtowing in front of Ling Yun.


“Ling Family’s men of sacrifice greet Young Master. Thank you for your life-saving grace!”


The moment Cui Lao got on his knees, the remaining 36 men of sacrifice followed suit and got on their knees. Each one of them had tears in their eyes as they addressed Ling Yun with an extremely loud and domineering shout.
