Chapter 242: Return to Black Rock City
Originally, Ling Xiao thought that the sect master of this Qingyun Sect was looking for him to discuss some important matters, although he had little intersection with this last sect master in his previous life, but for the sake of his own sect master in his previous life, he still came to discuss it well.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that this sect master was just a person who wanted to use Mo Lanxi's marriage as a trading weight, Ling Xiao liked Mo Lanxi, but if he wanted Mo Lanxi to exchange marriage and love for something, he would feel disgusted, Mo Lanxi's independent individual, not the master at their mercy.
After talking to Li Mingfei without speculation, Ling Xiao and Mo Lanxi chatted for a while, and after breakfast the next day, they began to set off for the next place.
Now that the war has been resolved, it is natural that there is a person like Elder Huang who regulates the follow-up matters, and if a person with the status of a sect master comes forward, it will seem that he has lost his position.
The Ling family didn't want to pay much attention to it, what they needed to pay attention to was the other sects that did it to themselves at that time, as well as the Wenfeng Sect, which had already bullied him that day.
Needless to say, after the matter was revealed, it had already become the target of the public on the side of the Ling Family Alliance, and the rest of the sect was not very good, in a sense, it was still this Wenfeng Gate that provoked Ling Xiao, and naturally it became an existence that was used and lost on the side of the Qingsong Sect.
The Tianyang Sect doesn't want to manage this kind of small sect anymore, and if the Wenfeng Sect is left to fend for itself, it will definitely not end up well in the end anyway.
Now I have to go back to my home in Black Rock City first, and after I followed my grandfather to Bohai County, I haven't gone back, and I already think about it very much.
Ling Xiao knew that his true identity must have been transmitted back to his home in Black Rock City, and if he was going to go back, when the time came, he would be full of lights and shouts, and Ling Xiao would also have a headache when he was so lively.
Without telling anyone, Ling Xiao rode back to Black Rock City.
Along the way, he changed two fast horses, and when Ling Xiao arrived at the Black Rock City, it was already evening.
Standing at the gate of Black Rock City and looking at the past, the sunset has already fallen in the west, leaving behind the surging burning clouds that make up for the sky in the evening, Ling Xiao rode his horse and stood on the side of the road, the sunset also plated a layer of golden color on the city gate, and Ling Xiao's eyebrows also showed a smile.
The last time he left here, he was just a little boy from the Ling family, and when he came back this time, everything was different.
With a sound, Ling Xiao rode his horse forward and rode in the dust.
When he arrived near the Ling family's old house, Ling Xiao immediately reined in the horses under the seat and turned over and dismounted.
This time, he didn't have a piece of luggage, light and simple, glanced around, Ling Xiao skillfully entered the back alley of the Ling family's old house, still remembered that when he was forced to study by his father when he was a child, Ling Xiao sneaked out of this small alley, and went to the market to chase and fight with his childhood playmate, so comfortable.
And when it was time to return, he climbed the wall and sneaked back while Faber was asleep.
Standing under that wall, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, the wall that took a lot of effort to climb when he was a child can now be completed with just a light stroke.
The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth showed a knowing smile, his body just flickered, and the whole person was already on the other side of the wall, and everything reflected in his eyes was no different from what he saw in his memory.
In front of him was a small two-story building connected together, Ling Xiao's body moved, and the ghost steps started, and in a few clicks, he arrived at the house where his father Ling Shouxin lived, and it was evening, according to the general custom, his father should still be practicing in the house.
Ling Xiao knocked lightly on the door, and his father's familiar voice came from inside: "Ah Fu?
Ling Xiao said softly: "Father, it's me." ”
There seemed to be a sound of a bunch of things being knocked over, and then there was a rush of footsteps, and the door was suddenly opened in front of Ling Xiao, Ling Shouxin stood at the door, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xiao'er?"
When Ling Shouxin saw Ling Xiao last time, he was already a lot thinner, and his body, which was originally a ball, was now half thinner than before.
I saw that Ling Shouxin's face was drenched with sweat, and his face was panting, and his words were all in an unbelievable tone: "It is said that you have become the sect master of the Tianyang Sect, if it weren't for the envoy of the Ling family who came to tell me in person, no one in our clan would believe it." Is it really you, Xiao'er?"
Ling Xiao's heart moved, sure enough, he was right, the Ling family's own family had already sent someone to his own family before him, and he didn't know what he had said, but thinking about it, most of them were impatient to have more relationships with his own division of Black Rock City.
Although he was thinking about the affairs of the Ling family, Ling Xiao only showed a smile on his face and said: "Father, naturally it's me, do you remember that when I was a child, I climbed the wall from outside the wall and broke a leg, and you couldn't sleep at night to take care of me for more than a month." ”
As he spoke, he walked into the door, and closed the door with his hand, and Ling Shouxin immediately hugged Ling Xiao and hugged him tightly.
Ling Shouxin's body was covered with oozing sweat, and most of it rubbed against Ling Xiao's body, and Ling Xiao also stretched out his hand to hug his father tighter, and there was a warm current surging in his heart.
After a short while, Ling Shouxin let go of his hand, took a few steps back, looked at Ling Xiao who had come back again, looked up and down, nodded and said: "Qiyu Xuan is a lot taller, it looks like he has grown a lot taller, I feel that your body is full of spiritual energy, for my father, I can't see what level your current strength has reached." ”
Ling Shouxin's words had a strong feeling of being old and powerless, Ling Xiao heard this, a trace of sourness passed through his heart, and he said: "Don't say that, you are my father, and now you are the head of the family, and you are in the prime of life, where is the old age?"
When Ling Shouxin heard this, a smile of relief appeared on his face: "In the past, you were only active and playful when you were a teenager, and you were worried about your future, but now I understand that the worries before becoming a father are completely superfluous. ”
Ling Xiao had a different emotion floating in his heart, his father had always been so worried about him, and in that time dimension in his previous life, he had indeed caused the entire family to fall apart.
If he hadn't been reborn, he wouldn't have made it all the way to where he is today.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was lightly dressed and suddenly appeared from outside the door, Ling Shouxin's face showed a puzzled expression at this time: "Xiao'er, they all said that you are already the sect master of the Tianyang Sect, why are you here alone now, but where are the others now?"
Speaking, Ling Shouxin took two chairs, it is not a matter for the two of them to always stand and talk like this, Ling Xiao sat down, there was a plate of pastries on the side, Ling Xiao felt hungry, reached out and took the pastry and put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "The child knows that if he says it in advance, he will definitely make a big fanfare, and there are some people here I don't want to see, so I came back by myself." ”
Ling Shouxin nodded his head and said: "Right now, it's been a long time since you left, and suddenly the news that you are already the sect master of the Tianyang Sect has been transmitted back, no one in this Black Rock City can believe it, everyone who is familiar with our Ling family on weekdays, and those who are not familiar with it come to visit, and they want to have a good relationship, which is very annoying." ”
Ling Xiao's heart swept over a few names, and he said, "What is the reaction of the other three families now?" ”
Ling Shouxin was asked this question, and there was a tangled look on his face, only to hear him sigh and say: "The most annoying thing is that the Zhang family, the king of Chu, originally formed an enemy with us when the Holy Fire Sect attacked, and now that he sees that we have a sect master here, they all have a face to climb up to some relationships." Especially the Wang family is the most disgusting, and you actually moved out of the previous marriage contract between you and the sister of the Wang family, saying that you had already had a marriage contract before, and you wanted to conclude a family alliance...... What a ......."
Ling Xiao sneered and said with a smile: "Father, you are afraid of what these people will do, even if the child does not become the sect master right now, our Ling family is also the dominant family in Black Rock City, and now there is the secret protection of the Holy Fire Sect behind him, plus the bright protection of the Tianyang Sect, even if he is forced, what if he is forced, he will bother again, and he will be beaten and thrown back." ”
Ling Shouxin nodded: "It's better for you to see it, after your grandfather left, the position of the sect leader of this branch of the family will be temporarily in charge of me, you know that my tranquil personality is not good at these." ”
Ling Xiao suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked, "What about Uncle Ling Shouyi?"
This Ling Shouyi had some trouble with him before, but in the battle of the Holy Fire Sect, regardless of his own safety, he rescued Ling Xiao with one arm and most of his cultivation, so that Ling Xiao's heart is very grateful to him until now.
"Your Uncle Ling Shouyi broke a single arm, and he scattered his cultivation, and he couldn't become a martial artist in this life, but your Uncle Ling Shouzhi got a large amount of spiritual sand out of nowhere, and then helped Shouyi reshape the meridians, although the process was a little harder, but your Uncle Ling Shouyi's cultivation has also returned to most of it, and now he is trying to practice the method of using one hand to make fire clouds. ”
A look of relief floated on Ling Xiao's face: "That's good." ”
He knew that Uncle Ling Shouyi was in charge of an important mineral vein, but now he had too many things to do, and he didn't have time to manage what his uncle was doing for the time being.
Moreover, the current Ling family has settled down, as the sect master of the Holy Fire Sect, he already has the complete ability to protect his family, what happened in his previous life, today, Ling Xiao will definitely not let him repeat it.
After hearing this, Ling Xiao stood up suddenly, bowed his hand to Ling Shouxin, and said, "Hearing that the family is safe, the child is relieved, and the child will not stay here for the night tonight." ”
Ling Shouxin's face was stunned for a moment, and he said suspiciously: "Xiao'er, you ......"
Ling Xiao said: "The child sneaked in secretly this time, and now while others haven't found out, he left first, don't worry about the child, don't worry about the child, after a while, the child will come again, during this time, the father has worked hard." ”
