C24 The Strict Word Deterrence



C24 The Strict Word Deterrence

A wave of anger rose in Ling Xiao's heart. Damn it! From the outside until now, he had been repeatedly bullied and provoked. He really couldn't take it anymore!    

    

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, his eyes red with anger. The skin of his mouth had been bitten open, and traces of blood flowed out. His body bent under the pressure, but he still persisted. His hand was already placed on the medicinal Dragon Sword on his back, as if he was preparing to use his sword to fight to the death.    

    

"Enough!" Second Elder, Ling Mo, who was standing above the Fifth Elder, waved his hand and dispersed the pressure of Ling Yan.    

    

Ling Xiao felt relieved when the pressure was gone. He was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. However, that mouthful of blood was suppressed by his stubborn nature.    

    

Ling Xiao faced the Fifth Elder and said with a cold smile, "After hitting a child, an adult came. Fifth Elder, do you want to rely on your own strength to bully the weak me?    

    

Ling Yan did not know that Ling Rui had been humiliated by Ling Xiao. He immediately said unhappily, "What do you mean by that? I'm just following the wishes of the elders and trying to see if you can really cultivate the profound strength.    

    

"Oh, so that's how it is. I misunderstood the Fifth Elder!" Ling Xiao bowed slightly. Then, he said, "I thought the Fifth Elder was venting for your grandson. However, I think that Fifth Elder is very clear about the matters of work and life. I believe that he won't cover up for anyone who doesn't respect the patriarch. "Right?    

    

Ling Yan did not listen carefully. He immediately nodded and said. "Of course.    

    

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "That's good. He raised his head and said to the elders who were sitting at the door, "Just now, someone insulted me in front of everyone. This is not a big deal. I, Ling Xiao, have been numb to this for the past two years. I won't argue with anyone. But I have to muster up the courage to ask the elders. If the disciples of the Ling family are rude to the patriarch, what punishment will they receive?    

    

Ling Xiao's harsh words made all the elders sitting in the hall look at him in confusion.    

    

In the end, Fourth Elder, who was in charge of the punishment, said, "Those disciples of the Ling family who don't respect the patriarch should be kicked out of the Ling family.    

    

"They should be kicked out of the Ling family!    

    

This sentence was like the morning bell in an ancient tomb, making Ling Yan's eyes jump a few times. His mind became somewhat uneasy.    

    

Ling Xiao straightened his back and looked around at the elders who were sitting. Finally, he landed on Ling Yan and asked indifferently, "May I ask about Fifth Elder? Am I the patriarch's grandson?    

    

The old brows of the Fifth Elder twitched. He nodded and said, "Yes." Of course, but what does it have to do with what you say?    

    

"Of course it has to do with it. It has to do with it," Ling Xiao said.    

    

Second Elder Ling Mo said impatiently, "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it.    

    

Ling Xiao looked at Second Elder and then at the Fifth Elder. He asked the Fifth Elder, "May I ask if Cousin Ling Rui is your grandson?    

    

The Fifth Elder Ling Yan said unhappily, "Of course. The elders who were sitting here watched him be born.    

    

"What if someone insulted Ling Rui as a bastard? This..." Ling Xiao said indifferently.    

    

Ling Xiao did not finish his sentence. Ling Yan slammed the table and stood up. He said angrily, "Who dares to say that? I will kill his whole family!"    

    

Ling Xiao forced a smile and said, "Fifth Elder, don't be angry. I'm just saying if someone says so. In fact, no one in the family dared to offend you.    

    

Ling Yan glared at Ling Xiao and said, "Are you done? You have changed the topic! "    

    

At this time, Fourth Elder, Ling Wei, also said in a deep voice, "Ling Xiao, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush."    

    

Ling Xiao replied to Fourth Elder, "Yes." After that, he said seriously, "Just now, before Ling Tao and I entered the inner courtyard, we were talking about Deacons. Cousin Ling Rui was rude to me and insulted me for calling me a bastard. Just now, the Fifth Elder also admitted that I am the Patriarch's grandson. I believe that all the elders sitting here can testify for me. I dare to ask Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder. Is this disrespect to the patriarch?    

    

As soon as Ling Xiao said those words, the expressions of all the elders changed. Especially Ling Yan. He looked like he wanted to tear Ling Xiao apart alive.    

    

"Nonsense! I don't believe that useless grandson of mine would say such ridiculous things!" Ling Yan stood up and said loudly.    

    

"Ling Tao's Deacon can prove this!" Ling Xiao pointed at Ling Tao who was standing in the corner and said.    

    

At this time, Ling Tao stood out and answered. That's right. Ling Rui has indeed insulted Ling Xiao as a bastard."    

    

His words were very powerful. He only said that Ling Rui scolded Ling Xiao as a bastard, not that Ling Rui insulted the patriarch. However, everyone knew the meaning of his words.    

    

"This is too much! Ling Rui actually said such ridiculous things!" Third Elder Ling Yuan raised his thread-like eyes and said indifferently.    

    

Ling Yan looked at Ling Yuan and did not dare to say anything. He sat back in his seat, but he clenched his fists tightly.    

    

At this time, Ling Mo said, This is a child's joke. He didn't do it on purpose.    

    

When Ling Mo said this, no one else spoke. The Third Elder only shot a glance at Ling Cang who was sitting on the seat, then narrowed its eyes again.    

    

Ling Xiao suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha... Haha."    

    

His voice echoed throughout the entire building.    

    

Ling Wei snorted coldly and said, "Don't make noise in the meeting hall!"    

    

Ling Xiao stopped smiling and said loudly to Ling Wei, "I heard Fourth Elder is the fairest elder in the family. It seems like he is only so-so now. I asked about the Fifth Elder just now. If someone insulted Ling Rui as a bastard, it would be disrespectful to the Fifth Elder. He wanted to kill that person's entire family. But now that Ling Rui insulted me as a bastard, wasn't it considered disrespectful to the patriarch? The person who Fourth Elder said was disrespectful to the patriarch should be crippled of the profound strength and then expelled from the family. But... Because Second Elder said, 'This is a child's joke. He didn't do it on purpose.' You won't dare to punish Ling Rui. If Ling Rui was just a three year old kid, I naturally wouldn't argue with him. But he was already an adult who held the coming of age ceremony. He had to be responsible for what he said. Second Elder, Fourth Elder. "Don't you care about the patriarch's dignity?    

    

Ling Xiao's words were firm and forceful. Every sentence was deep and penetrating. Every sentence was like a sharp blade, piercing the hearts of the elders!    

    

Third Elder Ling Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at the smile that Ling Xiao had piled up and said in agreement, "You're right. We should abolish his medicinal profound strength and expel him from the family." However, his smile was uglier than crying. He had too much fat.    

    

"That's right. We should punish Ling Rui severely." The second one to speak was Sixth Elder.    

    

Then, Seventh Elder and Nineth Elder began to say the same thing.    

    

Only Eighth Elder looked at Second Elder and didn't speak.    

    

Fourth Elder, Ling Wei, and Fifth Elder, Ling Yan all stared at Ling Xiao. Fourth Elder looked like he was deep in thought. He seemed to want to see through Ling Xiao. As for Fifth Elder, he looked like he was gnashing his teeth in anger. His hatred was as deep as the sea.    

    

Second Elder only glanced at Ling Xiao lightly, then used his finger to knock on the chair a few more times. He did not speak again.    

    

Ling Cang, the patriarch of the family, still hadn't said anything. He just sat there quietly, as if he had fallen asleep. He didn't seem to hear what had happened.    

    

After a long time, Fourth Elder said softly, "Alright. According to the 19th punishment, Ling Rui would abolish Ling Rui's profound strength and expel him from the family because he was disrespectful to the patriarch.    

    

Fourth Elder said this. The Fifth Elder was stunned for a moment, He swallowed his anger and stood up. Then, he bowed to Ling Cang, who was sitting on the chair, and said, "Patriarch, Ling Yan did not teach my grandson a good lesson. Patriarch, please do not punish him severely.    

    

At this moment, Ling Cang looked up and finally spoke. He said lightly, "Ling Rui is young and ignorant, so he did not need to abolish the profound strength and was expelled from the family. However, he must be punished to face the wall at the back of the mountain for half a year.    

    

The Fifth Elder was delighted and immediately expressed its gratitude.    

    

Alright, I have gathered all the elders here today to discuss the matter of Ling Xiao returning to the Inner Academy. I request all the elders to express their opinions. "Ling Cang seized the opportunity to speak.    

    

As soon as Ling Cang's words fell, Ling Yuan immediately agreed, "I agree.    

    

After that, Second Elder, Ling Mo, also opened his mouth and said, "I have no objections.    

    

Then, all the elders agreed. No one objected. At this time, that Fifth Elder no longer dared to say his objection.    

    

Originally, he had planned to make things difficult for Ling Xiao today, but he did not expect Ling Xiao to take the initiative to attack, and even almost made him lose face. He would take revenge on Ling Xiao!    

    

Ling Cang said, "Alright, this matter is settled. In the future, Ling Xiao can enter and exit the inner courtyard as he pleases and allow him to flip through the Profound Skill on the first to second floor of Hidden Skill Pavilion. He could receive a rank one weapon. Allow him to participate in the family test a month later. Today's discussion will end here. After Ling Cang announced the matter of Ling Xiao, He dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand. Then he said, "Ling Xiao stay.    

    

Ling Xiao, who was about to turn around, stopped. When all the elders left, Ling Cang waved his hand and the door was closed.    

    

Ling Xiao was extremely envious of Ling Cang's move. This was something that could only be achieved by reaching the level of External profound strength. Moreover, to be able to control the strength at will, perhaps only that Spirit Master Rank could do it!    

    

Ling Cang sat down and walked down, staring at Ling Xiao and said, "Child, do you hate grandpa?    

    

At this moment, Ling Cang did not have the slightest bit of dignity of a superior. He only had the peaceful and peaceful demeanor of a grandfather.    

    

Ling Xiao didn't know why he felt sour in his heart. He immediately replied, "At first, I hated grandpa. I hated why grandpa was so cruel. I didn't care about my family. I hated why grandpa didn't come to visit Xiao for two years. I hated why I wasn't born in an ordinary family. That way, I could happily play with grandpa and grow up.    

    

When Ling Xiao said that, Ling Cang sighed. He turned his face away to prevent tears from flowing out of his eyes.    

    

Then, Ling Xiao said, "But after I met my grandfather today, I don't hate Grandpa anymore. Grandpa is the patriarch. Of course, the family's interests are the priority. As a big family in Meteor Rock City, the other big families all wanted to replace the Ling family. Grandfather wanted to take care of all the big families. He had to abandon the small family. Moreover, the family's internal problems have not been resolved yet. How could grandfather have the time to take care of our family? So Xiao no longer hates grandfather.    

    

When Ling Cang heard Ling Xiao's words, tears finally welled up in his eyes. Fortunately, he managed to hold it back in time to prevent it from flowing out.    

    

Ling Cang walked to Ling Xiao's side. He patted Ling Xiao's shoulder heavily and said, "I, Ling Cang, have a sensible grandson like you. I am really relieved."    

    

"Grandpa told me so well. But I still hope Grandpa can find time to visit my father and mother. They have been unhappy all these years, "Ling Xiao said quietly.    

    

Ling Cang nodded. It has been hard on your family all these years. I hope Zhan and Xiyun don't blame me, this old man. Actually, I also want to take off the burden of the family head and enjoy my old age.    

    

Ling Xiao said, "Yes." "Don't. I still want the grandfather of the chief. How cool is that?
