Chapter 003: Uncle's Family Comes (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Six years later, Ling Chen was fourteen years old, and his strength was only at the sixth level of Qi cultivation. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even his maidservant didn't understand why Ling Chen cultivated so hard, but his strength improved so slowly.
"One layer a year, it's still a Qi cultivation realm, this cultivation speed is really slow!" Ling Luo looked at Ling Chen's shadow in the distance and smiled bitterly.
In the past six years, he clearly knew how hard Ling Chen worked: he got up every morning at dawn to exercise, went to the back mountain to cultivate after breakfast, and did not come back for dinner until after dark, and then went to sleep and rest. But Ling Luo didn't understand: why his son worked so hard, but his realm ascension was so slow!
Ling Luo thought it was Xing'er's fault, so he also specifically asked Xing'er for questioning. Knowing that Ling Chen was usually just kind to Xing'er, but he didn't make any other out-of-the-ordinary moves, Ling Luo didn't understand why his son's cultivation progress was so slow.
"How should this be?", are you okay? It's been eight years! Do you know I've had a miserable past eight years?" Ling Luo looked at Ling Chen's back, his eyes gradually moistened.
When Ling Luo saw that Ling Chen had changed a cultivation cave again, Ling Luo couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with this kid? Could it be that he is also in a hurry? Why do you have to change the cave every time you cultivate, and he has changed the cave in the back mountain twice, and this is still changing." I have to talk to him in the evening, is his slow progress due to his state of mind being damaged?"
With a stomach full of doubts, Ling Luo withdrew his gaze from the shadow of Ling Chen.
In the past six years, Ling Chen's turtle-like cultivation speed has also confirmed the fact that he is mediocre and talented, and many people in the clan have not bothered to talk about him anymore, and instead it is Ling Tian, a cousin of Ling Chen. Ling Tian's father was the Great Elder of the Clan, and he was also the cousin of Patriarch Ling Luo.
Although Ling Tian only awakened his talent at the age of twelve, his talent was 92 Golden Spirit Root, and in just two and a half years, his realm had been raised to the seventh level of Qi cultivation, which was one level higher than the Ling Chen realm that had been cultivating for six more years, and it was also the most talented existence among the Ling family's current underage generation. Of course, Ling Chen's two elder brothers are not counted, because neither of them is in the Ling family now.
Ling Chen was not at all jealous of Ling Tian's rise, who made the talent of the human family so good! Ling Chen was quite satisfied that he was able to advance to the sixth layer of Qi cultivation within six years.
However, what made Ling Chen depressed was that since he picked up a jade bracelet six years ago, he had never picked up any other treasures, which made Ling Chen, who was greedy for money, feel lost, but he was determined and never gave up that opportunity.
What's funny is that every time Ling Chen goes to a cave, he has to carefully search for any treasures left by others, which makes the old man in the jade bracelet feel amused by this, but he is obviously playing a prank, and he doesn't mean to prompt Ling Chen at all.
The stupid Ling Chen himself didn't even know that he had been deceived by the tester that was indeed a shoddy product! And the reason why his cultivation progress was so slow was because the old man in the jade bracelet on his left wrist was making a fool.
After Ling Chen returned to his residence after dinner, he found that his father Ling Luo was already waiting for him in the room. At that moment, Ling Chen came to Ling Luo's side and smiled: "Father, why are you here?
Ling Luo smiled and nodded: "Yes, Chen'er sat down and said." ”
Hearing this, Ling Chen stepped forward and sat on the chair next to Ling Luo: "Dad, you can say it." ”
Ling Luo smiled when he heard this, "This Chen'er, are you anxious about your slow improvement in your cultivation realm?"
Ling Chen blinked and smiled when he heard this: "No, Dad, although my cultivation progress is a little slow, but it is because of my talent, I have nothing to do about this, what's the use of being anxious?"
"This!"
Ling Luo was stunned when he heard this, he saw that Ling Chen's demeanor and words did not look in the slightest hurry, he rubbed his hands and continued to smile: "Hehe, Chen'er, since you are not in a hurry, then why have you been changing caves in the past six years of cultivation? You know, martial arts have to be gradual along the way, but you must not be in a hurry, the more anxious it will be, the worse it will be." ”
Ling Luo was worried that Ling Chen's fragile nerves had been pricked, so he tried to express himself as softly as he could. Because he knew very well how those people in his clan had treated their children for the past six years.
Ling Chen's face immediately turned red when he heard this, and then he looked at Ling Luo and smiled: "No, Dad! You really misunderstood! The child really didn't have the slightest anxiety. The child changed the cave for another reason. By the way, Dad, where is my mother practicing? The child wants to go to her, I miss my mother so much!"
Ling Chen was afraid that Ling Luo would chase after his pigtails again, so Li Ma threw out his killer weapon against Ling Luo. Every time he mentioned to Ling Luo that he missed his mother, Ling Luo would become confused, a trick he had tried many times.
Sure enough, when Ling Luo heard Ling Chen's words, his eyes became moist. He held back his tears and didn't fall, and then bit his lip and said to Ling Chen: "Don't worry, Chen'er! Your mother is really going to a place to cultivate! Dad will let you see your mother after a while." Daddy assures you that it won't be a long time. ”
Seeing this, Ling Chen nodded obediently and said, "Dad, don't be sad anymore! When the child grows up, the child will go to his mother in person." Didn't you say that my mother was with my eldest brother?"
"Yes, your mother is indeed with your eldest brother. When your mother left, you and your second brother were still young, so she took your eldest brother with her. Your mother loves you three brothers very much! I think she misses you very much!" Ling Luo said with red eyes.
Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded obediently again, and then stepped forward to hug Ling Luo's waist.
"Family master, the Fan family is here! The eldest young master will also come!" At this time, the words of the housekeeper Ling Bi came from outside Ling Chen's room.
"Li'er is back! This is really good!Chen'er, go, go with your father to see your brother!" Ling Luo said excitedly.
Ling Chen blinked when he heard this: "Dad, since the eldest brother is back, then the mother will definitely come! Let's go quickly! I want to go to see my mother!"
"Okay, let's go!" Ling Luo also said excitedly.
Ling Chen looked at his excited father, his heart was full of turmoil, in his impression, the man in front of him rarely had this kind of emotion. Ling Chen was very conflicted about the mother he was about to face at this time, because he was reborn, he had not seen the biological mother of this body, so Ling Chen was very conflicted at this time. However, he had to feign his excitement.
After Ling Luo took Ling Chen and the housekeeper to his room quickly, he saw a young man about eighteen years old who looked a little like him staying with an adult and beautiful woman. The woman was still looking around the room.
After Ling Chen saw the woman, he felt very similar to the woman in his fused memory, and immediately hurriedly shouted: "Mother, I miss you so much!"
After Ling Chen finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the woman. The woman turned around with tears in her eyes when she heard the voice, and then she squatted down and hugged Ling Chen, who ran over: "You are Xiao Chen'er!
Ling Chen originally had tears in his eyes, but when he heard the woman's words, he looked at the woman with tears on his face and said, "Auntie, aren't you my mother? Father, where is my mother? Didn't you say that she was with my eldest brother?"
"This ......!" Ling Luo suddenly heard this, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but roll down.
Ling Li hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Ling Luo's arm and said, "Dad, you are stronger!
Ling Luo held back tears when he heard this, and then looked at the woman and said, "Yinzhi, let you see and laugh!"
The woman known as Yinzhi said with tears in her eyes when she heard this: "It's okay brother-in-law! It's all my brother's fault, let your family be scattered, the dust is so small, how can he remember what his sister looks like! It's really embarrassing for him!"
After Ling Li persuaded his father, he slowly came to Ling Chen, whose face was full of tears, and then pulled Ling Chen to sit down and said: "Third brother, she is our sister-in-law Fan Yinzhi, and her mother's name is Fan Jinzhi, don't make mistakes in the future!
Ling Chen nodded when he heard this, then looked at Ling Li and said, "Big brother, what about my mother, my father said that my mother is with you!"
Hearing this, Ling Li clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to look at Ling Luo. Ling Luo wiped the tears on his face with his right hand and nodded: "Li'er, Chen'er is fourteen years old! Dad really can't hide it from him anymore, so you can tell him the truth! It's good that he can understand it, or if he doesn't understand it, it's better for him to accept it slowly in the future than to let Dad keep deceiving him. ”
Hearing this, Ling Li gritted his teeth again and nodded. Then he looked at Ling Chen and said, "Third brother, my mother has gone to the Sword Sect to be a hostage! That is to say, my mother has been imprisoned by the Sword Sect!"
"Ahh
Seeing this, Fan Yinzhi shook his head slightly, and then slowly came to Ling Chen, hugged Ling Chen, who had a cold face, and said, "Chen'er, this matter is a long story.
Eight years ago, your uncle Fan Chengzhi inadvertently offended Sun Yan, the eldest husband of the Sword Sect, because he was drunk, and Gongsun Yan was angry and wanted to kill your uncle. But your grandfather certainly can't.
After that, the Fan family and the Sword Sect both fought hard, and the hatred became deeper and deeper. At this time, the royal family intervened. But the Sword Sect refused to give in.
In the end, under the mediation of the royal family, your uncle's fate was saved, but he had to go to the Sword Sect to be a hostage for fifty years. Fifty years later, your mother felt sorry for her brother, so she offered to take your uncle's place as a hostage.
The Sword Sect's move was originally to humiliate the Fan family, so after several rounds, your mother was taken away by the Sword Sect. It's been eight years, and the Sword Sect doesn't allow our Fan family to spy on your mother at all. So we don't know anything about your mother's current situation. ”
Hearing this, Ling Chen broke free from Fan Yinzhi's arms: "Auntie, why did my grandfather agree to let my mother replace him? Isn't my mother his daughter? Since my uncle caused trouble, why didn't he let him bear the consequences, but let my mother replace him? Is he still a man?"
"Smack!" Fan Yinzhi directly slapped Ling Chen when she heard this, and then she hugged Ling Chen again and said, "I'm sorry Chen'er, my aunt didn't mean to beat you! You shouldn't insult your uncle." You don't know, it wasn't your uncle's fault that what happened back then. That Sword Sect deliberately made trouble for the Fan family, which is why it framed your uncle like this. If your uncle goes to the Sword Sect, my aunt dares to guarantee that he will definitely not get out of the Sword Sect alive. ”
Hearing this, Ling Chen struggled to break free from Fan Yinzhi's arms, then looked at Fan Yinzhi and said, "Is it okay for my mother to be imprisoned by that Sword Sect?
After Ling Chen finished speaking, he ran out alone.
"Dust! Dust...... Li'er, go after your brother, don't let him have another accident!I'll talk to your aunt!" Before Ling Luo finished speaking, Ling Li rushed out and went directly to chase Ling Chen.
After Ling Li left, Ling Bi also retreated and closed the door. Ling Luo looked at Fan Yinzhi and said, "Sister, I don't know why you came to the Ling family this time?"
Fan Yinzhi lowered his head when he heard this: "Brother-in-law, my father asked me to tell you, maybe my sister has had an accident a long time ago, so you don't have to wait for her anymore." You're still young and you can find another partner. Dad said that the Fan family will never blame you for this!"
"Hmph, hehe, hahaha......! Silverbranch, I see, you go back. In addition, tell my father, I, Ling Luo, am not a person who likes the new and hates the old, and our Ling family will take care of the matter of the golden branch, so let him stop worrying!" Ling Luo said in a deep voice after smiling bitterly.
Fan Yinzhi was furious when she heard this, she looked at Ling Luo and said, "Ling Luo, do you know what you're talking about? My sister is my sister, and neither the Fan family nor I will give up on her! Do you think that you are the only one who has been suffering for the past eight years? Dad has arranged this way for your own good! Why are you not interested? Although your Ling family still has a bit of a status in Yangcheng here, compared to the Sword Sect, what is your Ling family? If you can save it, the Fan family will have saved it a long time ago!"
"That's enough! I don't need such kindness in Ling Luo! If you finish speaking, then please go back! Tell your father, Jin Zhi is the only woman in my Ling Luo's life! If the Sword Sect dares to do anything to her, even if all four of my Ling family's father and son fight to the death in this life, they want him to look good in the Sword Sect! Never retreat half a step!" Ling Luo yelled at Fan Yinzhi.
Fan Yinzhi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and shook his head: "Okay, brother-in-law, since you don't appreciate it, then if I don't say it, I will tell my father what you mean! I'm leaving! In addition, you still send Li'er to the Zhenwu Royal Academy to cultivate, I have already said hello over there! He has a lot of inconveniences in the Fan Mansion, you understand! Farewell!"
After Fan Yinzhi finished speaking, he left without waiting for Ling Luoxiang to send him off. Ling Luo sat down slowly in the room alone, he still knew that the dynasty where the Ling family was located was called the Wulie Dynasty, and the Zhenwu Royal Academy was the highest academy in the Wulie Dynasty, located in the capital of the Dynasty, Wulie City, where the geniuses of the major forces gathered.
"Sending Li'er to study at the Zhenwu Royal Academy is a good choice. The Fan family finally didn't do too much!" Ling Luo muttered.
