At this time, in another courtyard of the Liu family.

In the courtyard, there are rockeries, which look like gold and jade, faintly contain the energy of rest, which is not trivial, on the suspended peak, there is a pond and a small manor composed of several wooden houses.

At the edge of the pond, a stunning, thirty-year-old woman feeds the fish, her long hair like a waterfall that extends to the soles of her feet, and her eyes are peaceful.

The woman is none other than Liu Xiling.

Suddenly, there was a rustling of footsteps behind him.

A middle-aged man with an extremely cold face appeared not far away, and slowly walked towards the woman from behind, but the woman did not seem to notice the arrival of this person, and just continued to feed the fish.

"Sister."

The cold middle-aged man slowly grinned and spit out two words.

This person is Liu Xiling's elder brother, Ling Chen's uncle, and the head of the contemporary Liu family, Liu Chengyuan.

Liu Xiling didn't even turn her face, and her attitude was even colder, "Get out, I don't want to see you." ”

"You!"

Liu Chengyuan's eyes widened, his cold face seemed to be worse, as if he wanted to be angry, he was the head of the Liu family, and he was the chief of the Central Dynasty, except for Her Majesty the Empress, who would dare to talk to him like this?

I saw that he had a gloomy face, and quickly approached Liu Xiling's back, he raised his palm, but at the same time, Liu Xiling suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, turned his face away, and saw that the slap was about to hit the white cheek.

"Sister, it's my brother's fault."

Hurriedly retracted his palm, Liu Chengyuan's face immediately softened, where was the indifference and anger just now, and it completely turned into a smiling face, but this smiling face was obviously squeezed out, obviously, Liu Chengyuan has always shown people with an ice cube face, if his colleagues in the court saw his smiling appearance, it was estimated that he would be shocked by his big teeth.

"What's wrong with you?"

Liu Xiling stretched out her jade hand again, sprinkled some fish food into the pond, "Everything you do is for the sake of the family, this is your responsibility as the head of the family." What is my sister compared to the family? ”

"Okay, don't be sarcastic about me anymore, marrying with the Punishment Saint Family, this is what the ancestors meant, and I, the head of the family, can't change it."

Liu Chengyuan spread his hands helplessly, although he, the head of the family, although he sounded very powerful, but in fact, he didn't count, there were ancestors and elders, and there were constraints everywhere, if not, the great elder would not carry him behind his back, so unscrupulous.

The head of the family is just a symbol, if the ancestor of the Liu family wants to change someone to be the head of the family, it won't take much effort at all, and one more person will be selected from the descendants of the lineage.

You must know that there are more people who are quite the head of the family, waiting for Liu Chengyuan to make a mistake and inherit his position.

"Sister, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the matter of marriage is not entirely a bad thing for you."

Liu Chengyuan paused, and suddenly said: "Let's not talk about the character of the punishment for the time being, but he has a deep affection for you, and I won't talk about the things more than 20 years ago, you see that even at this juncture, he can still not blame the past and agree to marry you, it can be seen that he is sincere to you, why can't you accept him?" ”

"The people of the Ling family, they are against our Liu family everywhere in the court, and they are mortal enemies with us, that Ling Tianyu is also a prodigal, he doesn't even want the position of the head of the family for the sake of women, how can such a person be worthy of your life, why do you fall in love with this person?"

"Enough!"

Liu Xiling glared at Liu Chengyuan, "You don't have to worry about my affairs. ”

"Okay, I won't talk about it, I came this time, in fact, I have another thing to tell you."

Liu Chengyuan knew that he had stepped on the minefield, and seeing that since he couldn't persuade Liu Xiling, he didn't bother to talk anymore, but changed the topic and said: "That kid named Ling Chen, he came to the land of Kyushu." ”

"He's coming? Where is he now? ”

Liu Xiling finally stood up, her expression looked a little nervous, obviously extremely concerned about Ling Chen's situation.

"This kid made a big stir in Panlong City, leaving his name fifth on the Wall of Ten Thousand Years of History, just a few days ago, the Great Elder sent a large number of masters to assassinate him, including an Elder of the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Extreme Realm."

"What?"

Liu Xiling's delicate body trembled, and her face instantly lost color, and her color was like dead ashes.

"Don't be in a hurry to be sad yet, this kid is not dead."

Liu Chengyuan shook his head, "I don't know why, the people of the Tianyan family came out to save him, and the master who went to assassinate him died two-thirds, and now the old ancestor has ordered to temporarily stop the pursuit of that kid." ”

"The Tianyan Family?"

Liu Xiling returned to her normal expression and breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, but she is also curious in her heart, Ling Chen, when did she catch the line of the Tianyan family?

"But don't be too happy, the Tianyan family made a move, it was all for a girl named Ling Yin next to him, it has nothing to do with him, it won't be long before the family will reorganize people to kill him, so in the end, this kid still has to die, and he can't escape."

Liu Chengyuan said coldly.

"You...... Can you secretly shelter him? ”

Liu Xiling looked at Liu Chengyuan with a pleading look in her eyes, "He is your nephew." ”

"I shelter him? Then I'm not the head of the family? ”

Liu Chengyuan's head shook like a sieve, saying that he couldn't do it, and he couldn't take such a big risk for a nephew who had never seen him before.

"Then you get out of here...... From now on, you don't even want to come to see me, I don't have your brother. ”

Liu Xiling directly turned around and walked away, and said coldly: "If Chen'er is dead, I, as a mother, will never live alone." ”

"Okay, okay, I knew you were going to be like this."

Liu Chengyuan felt extremely big, this sister was his only weakness, he could be ruthless to anyone, but not Liu Xiling, "I have already ordered people to keep an eye on the Great Elder's wave of people, if they want to attack that kid, my people will take action depending on the situation." ”

"I knew that my brother still loved me."

Liu Xiling's face suddenly showed joy, although her brother, although he looked indifferent and ruthless, but in fact, he was obedient to her and had never disobeyed.

"Hmph, if it weren't for his qualifications and a bit of value, I wouldn't have done this kind of thing that broke ground on Tai Sui's head."

Liu Chengyuan secretly sheltered Ling Chen, this was at the risk of offending the ancestors of the Liu family and the elders, if the ancestor of the Liu family knew that he, the head of the family, was in defiance of yin and yang, and secretly made these small actions, he was afraid that the position of the head of the family would not be guaranteed.

However, he Liu Chengyuan is not a puppet, and he is not willing to be a puppet, he also has his own power, no matter how to say, Ling Yin is his nephew, those people say that they will kill him, and they don't take him as the head of the family seriously.
