Chapter 2: Framed
"Ah........................h
An earth-shattering scream resounded through the City Lord's Mansion in half of Fengye City.
In the antique, beautiful and elegant bathroom, two figures flew out of the air.
A stunningly beautiful girl with long black hair, covered her body with thin gauze, kicked dozens of legs in the air, and her jade feet changed alternately continuously, each foot fell heavily on the chest and face of the young man who was constantly flying back.
The girl's fair-skinned and proud delicate body was faintly visible through the light veil, and the young man opposite was stunned and had a long nosebleed.
Noticing the young man's intoxicated and hazy obscene gaze, the girl grabbed a fiery red fox fur cloak hanging on the screen in the process of flying and kicking, and the moment she landed, a dexterous turn, the fox fur cloak had completely wrapped the seductive body of spring.
Eventually, the boy was kicked out of the room and slammed to the ground outside the courtyard. For a long time, I didn't see it move.
As the night grew darker, most of the people in Fengye City had already fallen asleep, and a loud belated cry for help woke up countless dreamers after all.
"Someone! Catch the pervert. There's a voyeur!"
The girl saluted first, and made a heavy move, which was naturally caused by anger in her heart. Seeing that the young man on the ground was pretending to be a fool without fear, and had no intention of repenting or apologizing, the anger in his heart was even more blazing.
"Old ...... Old...... Wife, don't ...... Don't shout!
At this time, the young man's nose was swollen from the kicking, his body was full of strong wine and the smell of blood, and his originally handsome face was also covered by blood, even if his mother came, he couldn't recognize who he was, and the young man's tone was even more aggrieved and ambiguous.
The young man saw that the little beauty didn't care about himself, and while he was not paying attention, he hugged the girl's slender white jade legs with both arms, and the palms of his two hands were still very dishonest and climbed all the way up, wanting to stand up with the girl's delicate body.
The little beauty, who no longer cared about the young man, suddenly kicked the young man's face again like a frightened rabbit, and directly kicked him to the ground.
"Shangguan Luo'er, can you not slap your face? If you are disfigured, will you still be able to eat in front of Young Master Ben every day in the future?"
The night breeze blew the girl's dancing hair, lifted the hem of the fiery fox fur cloak, revealing most of the ****, and the young man's eyes couldn't help but look at the beautiful scenery under Shangguan Luo'er's skirt.
Shangguan Luo'er saw the young man's dishonest gaze again, his eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, revealing an evil expression, and the jade legs kicked out continuously, and the young man on the ground also kept rolling, screaming again and again.
"Shangguan Luo'er, you murdered your husband! Don't kick your face, don't kick your face............"
The more miserable the figure on the ground screamed, the more excited the girl kicked and the anger in her heart grew.
"Hell, bitch, stinking scoundrel, Miss Ben lets you talk nonsense, I kick, I kick hard, kick you to the ground, kick you for the rest of your life. β
Just as the beautiful woman was kicking hard, the sound of neat steps outside the courtyard sounded, and more than a dozen cross-sword guards wearing silver armor ran in.
"Miss, what do you command?"
The first silver-armored guard came to the beautiful woman, bowed and asked.
"Arrest this voyeur for Miss Ben, I want to see who is so daring, trying to spy on Miss Ben changing clothes and bathing. β
Shangguan Luo'er finally stopped his jade feet, panting and pointing at the young man who was lying on the ground, with a gray face and a pig's head.
The two silver-armored guards ran a few steps quickly and set up the people on the ground, and the silver-armored guards led by unceremoniously reached out and lifted their chins, and at a glance, their arms couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Miss, it's Young Master Ling Xiao!"
Of course, the guard didn't recognize Ling Xiao by seeing his pig's head, but by noticing the name on a piece of the Ling family's exclusive cyan jade pendant hanging around his neck, and only then did he recognize his true identity.
Hearing the report of the captain of the guard team, Shangguan Luo'er pretended to be angry, and kicked between the voyeur's legs, and a terrible howl resounded through the night sky.
All the guards were stunned and speechless, and they all opened their mouths wide in surprise, and a chill rose from the dantian, while Ling Xiao's eyes were round, and he was no longer able to let out a miserable scream.
After a long while, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Shangguan Luo'er who was clasping his hands on his waist and glaring at him angrily, if it weren't for his cultivation of the Golden Body Red Flame Determination, I am afraid that he would immediately lose the iconic function of a man.
"What are you looking at? Stinky hooligan, voyeur, the seventh young master of the dignified Ling family, actually did such a heartbreaking thing, Miss Ben is not done with you. β
The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth pulled hard, the rouge tiger girl really lived up to her reputation, the tiger's butt couldn't be touched, and of course the legs couldn't be touched.
"Shangguan Luo'er, the two of us have had a marriage contract since we were children, and watching our wives take a bath is not as serious as you said, right?
In the Dongwu Dynasty, if there is a marriage contract, it is already in advance, and it is only when the coming-of-age ceremony is completed that the church is married, and it is natural to say that it is husband and wife.
As time passed, more and more people gathered in Shangguan Luo'er's courtyard, first his mother Leng Qianqian hurried over, and then his father Shangguan Qingyun, the city lord of Fengye City, and his grandfather Shangguan Tang............ Waiting, a group of more than a dozen people hurried over.
"Ling Xiao, in the middle of the night, what did you say about your appearance in my City Lord's Mansion?"
Shangguan Qingyun's face was upright, and at first glance he was a person who enforced the law impartially and selflessly, and the tone of questioning in his words was very obvious, as if he was very prejudiced against his future son-in-law.
"Hehe, father-in-law, isn't the son-in-law coming to see Luo'er?"
Ling Xiao was right, he just came to see Shangguan Luo'er, but he saw a little more.
Ling Xiao has been in the market since he was eight years old, and he is born with a cheeky face, and he is convinced: the skin is thick enough, the sword is difficult to hurt, and the long sword is difficult to penetrate, as a senior gentleman, this is the life creed that he should adhere to.
"Grandpa, Luo'er wants to withdraw from the marriage, so people don't want to marry this kind of rogue boy who has no talent, no morality, and no discipline. β
Shangguan Luo'er pursed her red lips and looked at a white-haired old man in the crowd. At this time, the white-haired old man walked out of the crowd and came to Ling Xiao, his appearance of not being angry and arrogant faintly made everyone present have a sense of oppression, the old man looked at Ling Xiao with a swollen nose and face, and then shook his head with a sigh.
"Hey! What a shame for the Ling family! How could the Instrument Saint Inheritance Family, which was once famous in the entire Taiyan Continent, have such an unsuccessful descendant? Qingyun, tomorrow you will bring the dowry gift from the original Ling family to the Ling Mansion to withdraw this marriage!"
The old man of Shangguantang didn't say a word more, turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Ling Xiao was so angry in his heart, but he didn't want to explain anything, he could do this kind of voyeuristic thing tonight, naturally he was instigated by the eldest brother and the fifth brother after getting drunk, he didn't expect that the two brothers would blatantly put psychedelics in the wine. Hunting geese all the year round, he was finally pecked by the geese, but he didn't expect that this time he finally fell into the conspiracy of the two brothers.
Originally, Ling Xiao thought that his two brothers had changed sex, and the two of them came together tonight to invite him to drink, because they wanted to sincerely resolve the contradictions between the two parties.
Unexpectedly, this was actually a bureau set up by the two elder brothers for themselves, the purpose of which was to destroy the marriage relationship between himself and the Shangguan family, so as to hit his status in the family.
"Hmph, they are all thirteen years old, and they are only at the fourth level of the spiritual cultivation period, and they have not even started the family tradition of refining weapons, and they can reach the sixth level of mortal weapon masters, it seems that the inheritance of the Ling family's weapon path will definitely be cut off in your hands. β
Shangguan Luo'er pursed her lips disdainfully, her eyes became indifferent, she turned back to her boudoir, and then slammed the door shut.
Shangguan Luo'er's mother, Leng Qianqian, had a dignified demeanor, standing with Shangguan Luo'er, like two sisters. She sighed, tucked her long hair from her sideburns, which was blown by the night wind, and whispered to the people in the courtyard.
"Let's all disperse, don't spread this matter around, it won't benefit anyone. Xiao Lingxiao, you should go back too, you have to be prepared, maybe this incident will make you severely punished in the family. β
..............................
The next morning, it was just dawning. When Ling Xiao was still asleep, the reception hall of the Ling Mansion had already exploded.
"Brother Ling Wu, brother, I was ordered by my father to come to withdraw from the marriage in order to dissolve the marriage contract between my family Luo'er and Ling Xiao. β
Early in the morning, Shangguan Qingyun brought more than 20 people and many dowries to the Ling family's mansion.
"Brother Qingyun, what do you mean by this? The marriage contract was made by the two old men back then, and now the old man is traveling all over the world and doesn't know where to go, so it's not in accordance with the rules for us to do this, right?"
Ling Wu is the master of the Terran refining weapon in the Taiyan Continent, the contemporary head of the Ling family, and Ling Xiao's father, and he is also the master of the Ling Heavenly Instrument Pavilion who has business all over the Dongwu God Dynasty, but because he is too young, many family elders or stewards are slightly dissatisfied in their hearts, when the old man Ling is still in charge of the family, no one dares to say anything, but the current situation of the Ling family being suppressed by many forces, even outsiders can see that the current Ling family is simply a delicious big cake waiting for everyone to divide.
Shangguan Qingyun laughed a few times, and sat down in the guest seat in the hall.
"Tea!"
Ling Wu was just about to beckon the maid to serve tea, but Shangguan Qingyun waved his hand and smiled at Ling Wu.
"Brother Ling Wu, don't bother, I came here on the orders of the old man this time, because your son Ling Xiao is idle all day long, not doing his job, no talent, no virtue, and he went to Luo'er's courtyard late last night to peek at her changing clothes and bathing.
Brother Ling Wu, you can tell me, how can such a style of conduct be worthy of the pearl of my Shangguan family?"
Ling Wu was silent, the fist in his big sleeve clenched fiercely, and then relaxed again. He naturally knows exactly how his own son is behaving now.
Since the old man Ling Canghai traveled to the Taiyan Continent for more than ten years without news, the family has been in rapid decline in recent years, and there has been constant infighting, where is there still the prestige of the Ling family's Instrument Saint family back then.
The current Ling family only has three Xuanqi masters and five spiritual artifact masters to maintain the development of the family, and there is not even one Dao artifact master, compared to the two Dao Artifact Masters and fifteen Xuanqi Masters of the Instrument Dao Alliance, as well as the behemoth of a large number of spiritual artifact masters, it is simply a world of difference. How could the Ling family maintain their current status in the Eastern Martial God Dynasty?
"Brother Qingyun, my Ling family is not only Xiao'er's son, the fifth son of the third brother's family, Ling Wei, is young and promising, he is decent, only two years older than Luo'er's girl, and he is now a first-order spiritual weapon master, and his cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and it is only nearly two years at most to break through to the Linghai stage, I think Wei'er can barely be worthy of your Luo'er, right?"
The Shangguan family has a pivotal position in the Dongwu Divine Dynasty, Fengye City is close to the national capital, connected to the Tianyun Mountain Range of the Eighteen Cities of Tianyun, located in the main transportation route, Shangguan Qingyun is the city lord of Fengye City, with the strength of a prince, Ling Wu naturally wants to save the marriage between the two families.
"Hahahaha! Brother Ling Wu, you are joking, do you know what happened last night, who instigated Ling Xiao's kid? If you don't know, you can ask your eldest nephew Ling Xiao and fifth nephew Ling Wei!"
Shangguan Qingyun laughed and stood up, and left with a group of subordinates.
Ling Wu sat down on the chair in a daze, with no strength in his body, and looked at the roof of the living room with blank eyes, and after half a sound, he finally made a decision.
"Someone!"
Immediately outside the living room, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper ran in.
"Master, please command!"
"Ling Jiu, you inform all the family elders and important members to immediately convene a clan meeting!"
An hour later, in the Ling family's meeting hall, hundreds of people sat down, and today's protagonist Ling Xiao was also among them.
"Everyone, today, my Ling family was divorced by the Shangguan family, and from now on I will lose a strong arm, the specific reason, I think everyone has heard of it, I don't know what doubts everyone here has?"
A middle-aged man who looked six points similar to Ling Wu knocked on the table in front of him and said loudly.
"According to the clan rules of my Ling family, any family member who damages the reputation of the family, ruins the reputation of the family, and harms the interests of the family will be expelled from the family or exiled to the border wasteland, and the worst will be broken into the dantian and imprisoned in the earth fire. β
As soon as the voice fell, another voice continued.
"Ling Yun is right, what Ling Xiao did this time has greatly endangered the interests of the family and has had a serious impact on the development of the family in the next fifty years, and I suggest that Ling Xiao be expelled from the family. β
An old man with white hair continued to express his opinion after Ling Yun's words.
"Third uncle, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, Xiao'er is also the direct bloodline of my Ling family anyway, it stands to reason that peeking at my fiancΓ©e changing clothes and bathing is a trivial matter at all, if it is not for others to do it, it is not a big deal at all. At most, he can be banished to the Bianhuang for a few years, so why should he be punished so severely?"
Ling Zhan, Ling Xiao's sixth uncle, has taken good care of him since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is harmonious.
"Sixth brother, what you said is not right, how did the hundred saints teach future generations?' Interests should not be smoked, and those who are interested in seeing and lustful are not moral. And the ancestors of my Ling family also taught us to be upright and open-minded, if there is misconduct, we must be severely punished, I won't say anything else, let's watch it." β
The person who spoke was Ling Wu's eldest brother Ling Tao, the eldest in the family, who was supposed to inherit the position of the head of the family, but his talent was far inferior to Ling Wu, so he lost the qualification to succeed the position of the head of the family.
Ling Tao has always held a grudge against Ling Wu, and he is constantly looking for opportunities to find trouble with Ling Wu and his family, and to frame Ling Xiao, his son Ling Xiao has a share.
For a while, the hall fell into the controversy between expelling Ling Xiao from the family and exile to the borderlands, and everyone argued endlessly, unable to make a decision for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed, and just when everyone was arguing, Ling Xiao stood up by himself, looked around the conference hall, and said with a firm gaze.
"Elders, as a member of the Ling family, when I am about to leave the family, I still have the qualifications to choose my own path in the end, right?"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, they all nodded in agreement, and Ling Xiao continued.
"I, Ling Xiaosheng, am the Ling family, death is the soul of the Ling family, exile is my choice, I hope you elders will be successful. β
In the meeting hall, most people sighed, even if Ling Xiao's father is the patriarch of the family, he has no right to shield his son, and if he makes a mistake, he will be punished, there are no rules, otherwise how can a huge family be maintained?
After everyone discussed with each other for a while, Ling Wu finally announced the decision.
"The Ling family clan finally discussed and decided to exile Ling Xiao to the Eastern Wilderness City, one of the eighteen cities of the Border Desolate Heavenly Clouds, and he was not allowed to recall the family for thirty years. β
