Chapter 045: Inner Court Battle of Words (Part 1)

Chapter 045

The inner courtyard of the Ling family!

In the cabinet, in the hall, the head of the Ling family and the eight elders are sitting here, and there are two strangers who are nearly seventy years old in the VIP seats. Everyone's faces were ugly, and the two strange old men were even more angry. It was obvious that something very unpleasant happened here just now.

At the VIP seat, the old man dressed in gray said to Ling Cang who was sitting in the middle of the hall, "Patriarch Ling, I came here today with Patriarch Lan just to seek justice. Although your Ling family is powerful, we are not vegetarians, if you don't give us a satisfactory answer today, then... we have no choice but to settle for broken pieces of jade rather than for everything."

This old man is indeed Li Chongqian, the current patriarch of the Li family, and the old man sitting beside him is Lan Zhenfeng, the head of the Lan family.

Ling Cang squinted his eyes, changed from his normal Hexi's appearance, and the aura of the superior was fully on display, and he must not lose his aura in front of these two people.

"Patriarch Li and Patriarch Lan will have their own opinion when Ling Xiao comes. If the two of you don't have the patience to wait, our Ling family won't send them away, please," Ling Cang said flatly.

"Hmph, the murderer pays with his life, otherwise there is no discussion," Lan Zhenfeng snorted coldly.

"Patriarch Lan is right, our Ling family will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation," Fifth Elder Ling Yan replied.

"Do you want to hand over our Ling family to others!" The third elder Ling Yuan said in a strange voice.

"What did you say!" Fifth Elder Ling Yan frowned and stared at Third Elder.

"Hmph, you know what I'm talking about, people from our Ling family can't just be killed by others," Third Elder Ling Yuan said quietly to Fifth Elder Ling Yan.

"Should our two families deserve to die?" Li Chongqian, the head of the Li family, said coldly, exuding momentum.

Everyone in the audience was first-class masters, but they felt suffocated by the aura exuded by the head of the Li family.

The second elder Ling Mo waved his hand lightly and said, "I believe our patriarch will not cover up some murderers. For the peaceful development of the three families, we will definitely make the right decision and give you a satisfactory answer." The Second Elder's words were insinuating, he lifted Ling Cang up first, and then placed him in the air, preventing him from getting off the stage.

"If Ling Xiao kills someone for no reason, I will execute him with my own hands." Ling Cang's anger finally erupted, and after he said something coldly, the teacup in his hand was directly crushed into powder.

At this moment, Ling Cang's aura was in full swing, and a more domineering aura than the head of the Li family instantly enveloped the hall, and then he heard him say, "If someone dares to take my grandson as a sacrifice without permission, even if I am not the head of the family!" And screw his head off too."

Since Ling Cang became the patriarch, he really hasn't enjoyed any family happiness. He has been working hard for the development of the family every day, and he has to face the second and fifth elders all day long and get angry.

Facing his grandsons, he never fulfilled his grandfather's responsibility. On the contrary, he almost let one of his sons and grandsons be killed by a traitor, and made them suffer for many years. As a father, as the patriarch of his grandfather He really had endured it for a long time, and now someone wanted to kill his grandson face to face, he finally broke out the anger he had suppressed for a long time.

He Ling Cang can't bear it anymore, whoever wants my grandson's life, even if he is not the patriarch, his head will be wrung out.

For a moment, the two or three elders who were standing on the side of the second elder were so frightened by Ling Cang's aura that they didn't dare to breathe. At this moment, they finally realized that their patriarch was not a puppet at the mercy of others. Mountain dew nothing more.

"Patriarch Ling, it seems that you don't plan to hand over the murderer to us? If that's the case, let's go, Patriarch Lan, I don't believe that your Ling family can cover the sky with one hand." The patriarch Li stood up and shouted angrily, and was about to walk away.

At this time, the second elder Ling Mo stood up and said, "Patriarch Li, wait a minute", then he turned his head to Ling Cang and said, "Patriarch, I know that Ling Xiao is your grandson, but please distinguish between public and private, and don't treat the family's family members as if they were grandsons." It’s better to disregard the interests!”

"Second Elder, are you teaching me how to do things?" Ling Cang looked at Second Elder Ling Mo and said quietly.

Ling Mo's heart was shocked. He didn't expect Ling Cang to ask him like this. In his impression, it was the first time Ling Cang was so strong! However, would he be afraid of Ling Cang? the answer is negative!

For so many years, he and Ling Cang have been fighting against each other. Everyone knows his ambition. The previous patriarch was his father. Now he just wants to regain his father's position. What's wrong with that?

For a while, the whole hall became cold again.

At this moment, footsteps finally came from outside the door, and then Ling Tang came to the pavilion and bowed to everyone sitting there, "Patriarch, all the elders, brought by Deacon Ling Xiao".

Fourth Elder Ling Wei waved his hand to make Ling Tang retreat.

Ling Xiao swaggered in, with a faint smile on his face, bowed to Ling Cang who was seated in the middle, and said, "Ling Xiao has met the patriarch and all the elders."

"Are you Ling Xiao?" Lan Zhenfeng, the Patriarch of the Lan Family, stared at Ling Xiao and asked quietly, with a strong murderous look in his eyes.

"Who is this old man?" Of course Ling Xiao could guess that the two old men sitting on one side must be the contemporary principals of the Li family and the Lan family, but he didn't know whether his surname was Li or Lan.

Lan Zhenfeng snorted coldly, "You don't have the right to know who this old man is. Just forget about killing yourself in front of us today, or you'll just wait to be a sinner of the Ling family."

Ling Xiao squeezed his chin and looked at Lan Zhenfeng, and said with disdain, "You old guy, I respect you for calling you old man, but you actually let me die when you open your mouth, I'm fucking your grandma, why didn't you commit suicide in front of me? I will go to your grave to piss and honor you."

What Ling Xiao said was really wicked, and Lan Zhenfeng was so angry that he almost wanted to make a move.

Ling Cang who sat on the top said, "This is the head of the Lan family, and the other is the head of the Li family. They all said that you killed their grandson and granddaughter. Ling Xiao, did you do this?".

Ling Xiao still respected Ling Cang sitting on top, and immediately replied honestly, "I killed a few cats and dogs yesterday, but I don't know which one is the grandson of the Li family or the granddaughter of the Lan family."

"Bastard!" Li Zhongqian, the head of the Li family, immediately yelled after hearing this, and shattered the tea table beside him with one hand, and the aura of his whole body enveloped Ling Xiao.

For a moment, Ling Xiao only felt as if an invisible hand was holding his throat, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe. Just when he was about to circulate three points of vitality to resist, Ling Cang who was sitting on the top waved his hand , the momentum of the head of the Li family dissipated.

"This is the people of your Ling family. They are so self-cultivated and arrogant. We have seen it. Brother Lan, let's go." Li Chongqian glanced at Ling Xiao and Ling Cang, and then said to Lan Zhenfeng.

"You guys just wait to start a war with our two families." Lan Zhenfeng nodded, and then spoke harshly.

If it was just the Lan family, Lan Zhenfeng definitely wouldn't dare to challenge the majesty of the Ling family like this, but now that he and the Li family are on the same boat, wouldn't it be possible that the two families would not be able to deal with the Ling family together?

"Wait"!

"Wait a minute"!

Two voices sounded at the same time, one was from Ling Xiao, and the other was from the Second Elder.

"What else do you have to say?" Li Chongqian said.

Ling Xiao ignored the second elder Ling Mo, looked at Li Chongqian and said, "Are you planning to leave just like this? Doesn't it seem too immoral?".

"What? Do you have the ability to keep the old man here? Or is your Ling family planning to bully the young with more?" Li Chongqian looked at Ling Xiao. He really couldn't figure out why this kid was so arrogant. Could it be that just because he became the immortal successor disciple of the Ling family? Is it so arrogant?

"Ling Xiao, you have nothing to say here, shut up." Second Elder Ling Mo snorted coldly at Ling Xiao.

"Why did you ask me to come here without me talking, then I'll leave, I won't see you off" Ling Xiao had already seen through the ambition of the second elder Ling Mo, so he pretended to leave.

The second elder's face darkened, and he shouted loudly, "Presumptuous, are you talking to elders like this? Yesterday you killed the granddaughter of the head of the Li family and the grandson of the head of the Lan family, you are guilty!".

Ling Xiao turned around, looked at the Second Elder playfully, and then looked around at the expressions of the elders around him, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Haha! There is no excuse for committing a crime, don't you all think about it?" Should I kill myself in front of these two immortals?"

"Xiao'er, don't be impulsive, and speak clearly, Grandpa will always stand by your side." Ling Cang saw Ling Xiao alone and helpless, and his heart was strongly shocked. He must not let this child have any more accidents. After all, he left the chief seat of the patriarch and came to Ling Xiao's side in an instant, fearing that Ling Xiao would not be able to bear the pressure and commit suicide.

Hearing that Ling Cang defended him desperately, Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart, thinking to himself that this old man still has a bit of humanity. In the past two years, Ling Cang had never been to their house. Ling Xiao had a grudge against the old man in his heart, and now that grudge has disappeared.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, Xiao'er doesn't think about it." Ling Cang, who was looking at Ling Xiao, responded movedly, and then he looked at the second elder and said, "Second elder, I know that you and the fifth elder don't like our family. Take the place of my grandfather, right?"

The second elder was stunned for a while, and then said with a dark murderous look in his eyes, "Yellow-toothed child, do you dare to slander this old man?".

Not only the second elder's face was ugly, but the expressions of all the elders of the Ling family present were constantly changing. Everyone knew that the Second Elder wanted to replace Ling Cang, but no one dared to say it out loud. Now that Ling Xiao said it in public, does this mean that Ling Cang and the Second Elder are going to tear their skins apart?

"I slandered you? Hehe, okay, then let me ask you why you helped outsiders to deal with me? Don't you know that I am the grandson of the patriarch?" Ling Xiao looked at the second elder squarely, with three points of returning vitality in his body to resist the second elder momentum.

"Can the patriarch's grandson do whatever he wants? No matter who makes mistakes in our Ling family, we must bear the mistakes. You killed Li and Lan, and you want to start a war among the three families. You are a sinner of the family." The second elder speculated His old eyes stared at Ling Xiao and sneered.

"Haha, then you don't ask right and wrong and you want to punish me? Then if people from their two families arrest your old wife and daughter for prostitution, will you be indifferent and let others insult you, and for the so-called The interests of the family are not very motivating?" Ling Xiao laughed and asked, speaking sonorously and forcefully, without any fear of the second elder.

"You're looking for death." No matter how well-bred the second elder was, he was repeatedly touched by Ling Xiao and wanted to kill Ling Xiao with a palm.

What this kid said was like slapping his old face, even the patriarch Ling Cang didn't dare to speak to him like that, if he could bear it any longer.
