"Patriarch, the people are coming."

With the words of the gatekeeper, he stepped in in the early morning.

Ling Xi was sitting at the desk and crackling at the computer, looking like he was busy, and he didn't look up at him after hearing the voice, but just said "Sit".

Ling Chen didn't mind, Wu Zi found the most comfortable sofa next to him and sat down, it's not the first time I've come, there's no need to be too polite.

After about ten minutes, Ling Xi finally stopped what he was doing, closed the notebook, and looked at his cousin with no expression on his face.

"You're taking the plunge this time."

"Presumptuous? What do you mean?"

Ling Chen's indifferent appearance was very similar to "Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", Ling Xi paused for a moment when he heard it.

"Naturally, it's Ningguo's business."

Although the small actions in the early morning continued, if it didn't really bring serious consequences, Ling Xi was actually unwilling to interfere more.

"I made people move a lot more frequently in Ningguo a few years ago, and there is even a trend of intensification after the year, I don't know what you did that didn't suit your heart?"

"Don't be sloppy with me, you know what I'm talking about."

Ling Chen still wanted to make a roundabout, but Ling Xi was obviously not ready to let him take advantage of the loophole.

"I told you before, don't provoke the people of the third realm casually, didn't you take it to heart at all?"

"I don't know if you're asking from the patriarch's standpoint, or from your cousin's standpoint?"

In response to Ling Xi's questioning, Ling Chen not only did not mean to be short of breath, but asked rhetorically.

Ling Xi didn't expect him to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a relaxed tone.

"Both."

"Hehehe, then I don't understand, who said in front of everyone, "Since the third grid doesn't know what to do, don't put a hot face on them"? Although it is impossible to declare war on the Third Grid Realm because of the relationship between the ancestors, you can't see the attitude of the clan towards the Third Grid Realm in the past few years, and there are many times when you have robbed the resources of the Third Grid Realm, but when does the clan not turn a blind eye? So...... Are you sure you want to come to me specifically to criticize and admonish me for the sake of the Third Realm?"

"Or ...... When you left the Third Realm, the so-called no longer had anything to do with it was just for the people......

"Shut up!"

Seeing that Ling Chen was talking more and more excessively, Ling Xi interrupted him with a sharp expression.

Ling Chen was not annoyed, but raised his eyebrows with a bit wanton.

"Whatever I do, it's out of consideration for the Ling Clan, and even if I want to do something to him, do you think I'll be able to easily succeed with his abilities?"

This "he" is obviously referring to Shen Huan.

"And what exactly do you want to do?"

"Presumably, the Nanguo Ling family has already looked for you alone, but even if you don't look for it, I don't think you should miss the news about him here, that woman is with him again!"

"Regardless of whether or not you really found out the true identity of that woman when you left, the clan never let go of suspicion of her and her family...... Don't forget, you are now the patriarch, and you have to bear the heavy responsibility of the whole clan, if it is because the elders of your children ignore the overall situation, you can be regarded as the head of the patriarch!"

Ling Chen actually usually gets along with Ling Xi, and even shows great respect and sincere surrender in front of the clansmen, but he doesn't have so many scruples in private, and he can say whatever he wants.

So although Ling Xi was very dissatisfied with his cynicism, he had nothing to blame him.

After all, he is telling the truth......

Qi Xu's identity is the top secret of the upper echelons of the Third Grid Realm, even if she leaves the Third Grid Realm, whether it is for subjective or objective reasons, this secret cannot be told from her mouth, otherwise it is difficult to maintain the lukewarm relationship between the two parties now, and when the time comes, I am afraid that she will single-handedly put the Ling Clan in the position of the enemy of the Third Grid Realm.

However, Ling Chen will not understand this truth, after all, Ling Chen has only been in the third grid realm for less than a year, and there is no chance at all

will come into contact with more of the secrets and rules of the third realm.

Although the high-level of the clan complained about her concealment, they didn't want to make a feud with the third grid because of this, so they acquiesced to her not revealing the details of the period, but from the moment she left the third grid realm and returned to the Ling clan, whether it was for the period or the third grid, the Ling clan has always been vigilant, even if the southern kingdom intends to hide the information of the period, but the high-level of the Ling clan has actually tacitly acquiesced that the period is related to the period.

And such a speculation that almost became a fact made the top level of the Ling clan choose to pretend not to know about the matter of sending Jin Chao to inquire about the news in the early morning some time ago, and where would they not notice the attitude of those old guys in the early morning, so there was Ning Guo's "plan" this time.

"Now that I am the patriarch, I will naturally try my best to fulfill the duties of a patriarch, but don't forget, leaving aside my identity as a patriarch and cousin, I was your admonition, and this was true before I returned to the third realm, and it has not changed until now."

On the one hand, it plays the role of teaching the elder with the young, and on the other hand, it urges the older ones to improve their skills without slackening, and many of them are in the process of growing up, the younger ones surpass the slightly older ones in terms of comprehensive strength, but as long as the slightly older ones are alive, they can always be criticized and suggested as "admonishers". They will also be punished by the corresponding clan rules.

"Okay, you're admonishing people, you have the final say, is there anything else to say? Without me, I'll go back......

Ling Xi choked suddenly, before she could say anything, Ling Chen was already impatient...... Or rather, we didn't intend to listen to her all the time.

"Now that the situation on the other side of the edge sea is still unclear, you'd better settle down, don't do so many useless things, and save the time and ask the Ling clan to help you clean up the mess."

The person who wants to leave can't stay, and the person who pretends to be asleep can't wake up, since Ling Chen doesn't plan to listen to her more, then she will make a long story short, as for whether Ling Chen is willing to listen to her persuasion, she has a clear conscience.

"Useless things? Hehe, if you have to think so, then it's up to you, anyway, I don't care, the big deal is to get out of my current position and continue to be my idler!"

"You...... Forget it," Ling Xi wanted to say something, but felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, and then closed his voice, "Adults are responsible for their own actions, I don't stop you from doing anything, I just hope that the next time you do something, remember that you are from the Ling clan, okay, you can go back!"

Ling Chen shrugged his shoulders and said goodbye without saying much, his phone had been vibrating for a long time, and there would be no one else who called him so often at this time.

"Ershao, you...... You're not embarrassed, are you?"

As soon as he came out in the early morning, the steward hurriedly greeted him and whispered concern.

"Harm, who can be sorry for me, don't worry, there's still something to do, go Uncle Ling first!"

Ling Chen held the mobile phone with the screen lit up again, and left the main courtyard while picking up the phone.

"Hey ......"

"Two Less...... Woo, I've got in touch with you! Two young ......"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard the sound of ghosts crying wolves from the receiver, and Ling Chen couldn't help but twist his eyebrows.

"It's the subordinates who are not doing their jobs...... Ershao, please help me...... Let's go back, the second young man can punish us as much as he wants!"

"Smack!"

Then, in the early hours of the morning, I heard a sound similar to a slap in the face from the earpiece, and a threatening sound similar to "be honest". :

"Long story short, what's going on?"

"Everything was planned, but ...... Later, another group of reinforcements came from the Third Grid Realm, and all of our people ......" The curly-haired young man tentatively stared at Ning Tingyue, who was staring at him tentatively, while covering his face that had been beaten just now, "Anyway, we are trapped now, Er Shao must save us......

In fact, the curly-haired young man was beaten completely by himself, originally Ning Tingyue asked him to call the early morning, but this person was not honest, and found an idle number that he didn't know who to dial, and after dialing a few times, he said that there was no one

Pick it up, and then change the law to ask for it to be let go, and you have to make a note to compensate or something.

Ning Tingyue is not stupid, Shen Huan and they are even more stupid, they can see the problem once or twice, and immediately sent a number to retrieve the attribution and registration information, Ning Tingyue is a violent temper, and he has to take care of other things at the same time, but he didn't have this leisure to play with the curly-haired young man, so he immediately gave him a lesson, and fabricated that other people had been tortured to scare the curly-haired young man.

Although the curly-haired young man is a side of the Ling clan who lives in Ningguo all the year round, he has actually not seen much of the world, and he is usually not reused by the people of the main clan, so he immediately collapsed, so he found out the real number and dialed it to Ling Chen.

"What can I do then......

The curly-haired young man's mobile phone was turned on speakerphone, so he could clearly hear the tone in which Ling Chen said this, half casual, half teasing, but there was no trace of worry.

"Two Less...... You can't leave us alone......

The curly-haired young man was a little anxious, and his pleading tone was even worse.

"Since you caused the incident, you should be responsible for the result, besides...... Whether it's the person you provoked, or the Ningguo police, you have to have an explanation......

"Two Young ......"

The curly-haired young man was completely dumbfounded, this was completely different from the attitude when he entrusted them with an errand in the early morning!

I think that when I found him in the early morning, I promised that if he did things well, he would promise him a good future, not to mention in Ningguo, or choose anywhere in the world, as long as he can try the position he is qualified for!

Can ...... now

Not only did he mess things up, but it seemed that he didn't want to see him in the early hours of the morning......

No, he's not in a desperate situation yet, there must be some other way to make Ling Chen change his mind!

Let him think about it......
