Chapter 5: Qi Obtains Hematemesis

  "Ling Cang, what are you doing!"

  A loud shout of anger, a thunderclap on flat ground, some people with shallow skills in the scene were shocked, dizzy and staggering.

  A man in a dark blue robe with a black belt, walking briskly, with flying eyebrows and white temples.

  The newcomer was the master of the Ling family, Ling Qingtian. Although he had reached the age of sixty, his temples were only slightly tinged with white hair, and his robust aura was like a high mountain or a deep sea, far surpassing that of Ling Cang. His face was solemn and majestic, exuding an air of authority without even being angry.

  Ling Wu Shuang didn't even use the hidden path, what a majestic old man, with a dignified and awe-inspiring demeanor, heroic and upright, this Ling Tian Cheng is truly a master.

  But who would have thought that in the next second, Ling Wu's foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground.

  Only to see Ling Qian Tian rushing over, his finger pointing at Ling Cang, not caring about his image at all, and scolding loudly: "Ling Cang, you little beast, how dare you bully Wu Shuang when I'm not around? If I don't break your legs today, my surname is not Ling"

  The people around Ling's family heard this and suddenly went crazy together. What's your surname? Aren't you and he of the same surname?

  Image ah, the head of the family, where is the image?

  Ling Wushuang's mouth twitched, the old man had a bad temper, but she liked it. A sense of comfort spread throughout her limbs and warmed her heart. This feeling was something she had never experienced before.

  Striding with swift steps, he walked into the courtyard in just a few strides, his face filled with anger.

  "Dad, how did you come back?" Panic and astonishment flashed across Ling Cang's face.

  "How did I get back?! You old thing isn't here, and you're acting so recklessly!" Ling Qing Tian roared with rage, his voice full of energy.

  "Don't stop me, Father. Today's matter is not my fault. Ling Wushuang hurt my child, I must get justice."

  "Rebellious child, how dare you say that!" Ling Jing Tian's anger surged to the top, and he completely lost his temper. "Do you think I'm blind? As soon as I entered the door, I saw you chasing after Wu Shuang with a killing move! A senior like you bullying someone who doesn't know the mysteries of the universe, what kind of principle is that? Then now, can I also bully you?"

  As soon as the words fell, a palm swept down, deep yellow mysterious energy, peak of the heavenly mysterious.

  "Boom——"

  A surge of dark energy, spreading across his face, the old man's anger retreated, and he gritted his teeth. In a flurry, he opened his mouth to plead for mercy, "Dad, calm down first, listen to me, things aren't what you think they are."

  Ling Cong was also clever and knew that if he didn't calm down the old master first, he might kill him in a fit of rage, which would be a loss. So he hurriedly softened his tone.

  "Hmph" Ling raised his sleeve and let out a cold snort, then withdrew his hand, shook it, and hid it in his sleeve.

  Calm? How can he be calm? If he had arrived a step later, his precious granddaughter would have been beaten to death by Ling Cang, this unfilial son. His most beloved son is gone, leaving behind only one descendant, and now that's gone too. This is taking his old life!

  Taking this opportunity, Ling Cang hastily said: "Father, due to Ling Wusong's carelessness and accidental injury to others, I was unable to stop him in time. However, I didn't think much of it, but unexpectedly, Ling Wusong made another mistake, ignored advice, and ruthlessly crippled Xi'er's dantian."

  The dantian is ruined, unable to gather xuanli, and also becomes a useless material.

  Ling Cang shook his head and sighed sorrowfully: "Ling Wu Xiang has been injured to this extent by Yun Xi, how can I swallow this?"

  "Scoundrel, at this point, you still want to quibble?" Ling Qingtian's anger flared up again as he shouted: "You think I'm so easily deceived? Yun Shuang doesn't even have any Xuanli, how could she possibly defeat a 9th rank Xuanzhe like Yun Xi?"

  The last sentence was shouted out loud.

  His fingers clenched into fists as he continued in anger: "Ling Cang, don't think that those little actions of yours have gone unnoticed by me."

  He had wanted to take action and hurt someone, but every time he went out, he ended up getting injured. This time, he almost lost his life. If it weren't for his grandfather's protection, he would have been finished off by them long ago. Today, they even dared to humiliate him like this, how could he not be furious?

  Ling Cong's face turned bright red from being blocked by a single sentence, unable to refute, and also dared not speak out.

  But he's telling the truth, a big truth! He also wants to know what happened to Ling Wushuang. Who can tell him?

  Ling Cong suppressed his anger, lowered his posture, and pointed at Yun Xi with a stern expression: "Father, you see that Yun Xi is severely injured. I personally witnessed Ling Wu Shuang injuring her. There are so many Ling family children present here who can testify to this. What I say is not false."

  What Ling Cang said was like a song and a sob, heart-wrenching and infuriating.

  Lingyun, who had been in a daze, was now being supported, his body twisted and covered in blood. Just as they were about to take him away for treatment, the guard heard this and hastily stopped them.

  Ling Qing Tian pursed his lips and turned his head slightly, seemingly nonchalant, but his eyes flashed with a hint of intensity.

  Ling Tian's discernment was so extraordinary, no need to say more, just one glance, and he saw that Ling Yun Xiuan's power had been completely abolished, without the slightest fluctuation, his body heavily injured, not dead but crippled.

  "Who... did you say it was?" His face turned solemn, and after a moment's pause, he looked at Ling Wu Shuang behind him with a questioning expression.

  Ling Wushuang spread his hands out and shrugged lightly, hooking up the corner of his lips into a smile. "Who saw it was me who did it?"

  Leisurely and calm, composed and self-assured.

  Looking at Ling Wu's demeanor, calm and composed, Ling Tian was taken aback for a moment. Today's Wu is somehow different, no, completely different. What's going on?

  "Ling Wushuang, this is what I saw with my own eyes. How dare you still try to deny it?" Ling Cang took a few steps forward, his eyes scanning the people around him, and said harshly: "Under broad daylight, do you think I'm blind?"

  His entire aura suddenly surged violently, an ordinary person would have been frightened out of their wits.

  However, Ling Wushuang did not retreat but instead took a step forward, her eyes gleaming sharply as she glanced around at the other members of the Ling family. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "Then which one of you will come out and speak up, seeing that I injured Ling Yunxi?"

  Soft tone, gentle eyes.

  Threat!

  Bare-faced threat!

  The entire audience fell silent, not a single person dared to move, let alone laugh. Let them come out and testify, isn't this a joke? This little ancestor even dares to lay hands on Lingyun Xi, the direct descendant of the sect, with just one move, he crippled his dantian, and even did it in front of Tianxuan Gaohand's face, that clean and efficient method, if not seeking death, who would dare to provoke?

  "So many people, but you're the only one I see" Ling Wu's hands clasped together in front of her chest, her eyes gazing at Ling Cang with a lazy smile, "However, your biased words can't prove anything."

  "You, Ling Wu Shuang... You are simply lawless!" Ling Cang was so angry that he almost spat out blood. Considering Ling Jing Tian, his anger was overwhelming, but he could only stomp his feet on the spot and roar repeatedly: "Simply lawless!"

  "Cough—" Ling Tian's low cough sounded, and he said in a deep voice: "Ling Cang, do you think I don't exist?"

  Although the tone is serious, it's actually anger subsiding.

  Ling's gaze swept around in a circle, and with his refined experience, he understood the situation, although still puzzled.

  "Father, you decide on this matter and give me justice." Ling Cang looked at Ling Qingtian.

  Ling's slightly frosty white eyebrows furrowed, and after a moment, his face turned serious as he said: "Wu Shuang is right. Listening to only your one-sided words, we can't make a judgment. Now that there are no witnesses, we can't make a rash decision."

  These words are sharp and clear, spoken with justice and righteousness. The grandfather and grandson sang in harmony, their coordination was seamless, making people applaud and cheer.

  Upon hearing this, Ling Cang's eyes widened in incredulity. "Father, this is obviously one of Ling Wu's deceitful phrases. How can you believe him?"

  "Preposterous!" A toss of his beard, and two words were spat out. Ling Tian's face sank in an instant, "Are you trying to curse me as a foolish old man?"

  "I didn't mean it" Ling Cang gritted his teeth in silence, lowering his head, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

  Ling Tian let out a cold hum, pondered for half a moment, before saying: "As for Yun Xi's injury, go to the Dan Hall to collect a Earth Spirit Pill. As for you, when facing a junior in public, have you considered the consequences? You disregarded family rules as if they were nothing. If everyone follows your example, wouldn't this Ling Family be thrown into chaos?"

  Fortunately, no harm was done. I will be lenient and sentence you to one month of detention in the penal hall. This matter is now closed.

  Fortunately, no harm was done? Even Ling Wu Shuang couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She glanced casually at Ling Yun Xi opposite her. A Earth Spirit Dan did alleviate some of Ling Yun Xi's severe injuries, however, his Dantian was crippled, a lost cause!

  "Locked up for a month!?" Ling Cang suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Father, how can you be so biased towards that useless person, why are you always so partial?"

  When Ling Hao was around, Father always favored him. Now that Ling Hao is dead, he's left behind such a useless waste, and yet Father still shows favoritism everywhere, supporting him time and again. Why is this so unfair?

  These two words "waste" really stepped on Ling Jing Tian's sore spot, and he immediately frowned, but didn't say much. What he cared about most now wasn't this.

  "No need to say more, let's just drop it." Ling Tian's nose twitched as he hummed a tune. He shook his sleeves and walked away with his hands clasped behind his back. As he left, he glanced at Ling Wudou who was standing idly by, his eyes gleaming sharply. "Wudou, come with me to the study."

  As for the two words "waste", Ling Wu Shuang didn't think much of it, with his hands clasped behind his back, he turned around and followed Ling Qing Tian.

  However, as he was about to leave, he still couldn't help but turn his head and say with a smile, "偏心? I didn't know that. It turns out that Second Uncle's heart is located right in the middle, which is even rarer than having no heart at all. Today, Wu Shuang has gained some insight, but who knows if this is due to his breed."

  Soft words, sharp satire, leaving a sentence, turning around with ease, without taking away a single cloud.

  "Hahahaha"

  Several young men from the Ling family around them couldn't help but laugh, lowering their heads to stifle their giggles. What kind of breed is this? Only a mysterious beast would have breeds... This Miss Wusong is really infuriating, cursing without using a single dirty word!

  "Ling Wushuang you, you this, you this——" Ling Cang's spear shook, pointing at her back, trembling like a sieve.

  "Wow—"

  Suddenly, Ling Cang's emotions became unstable, his vital energy surged in reverse, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Genuine goods, fresh blood, spilled on the ground.

  Good heavens! Seeing this scene, the Ling family disciples around them inhaled cold air, and suddenly they looked at Ling Wu with reverence. A Tianxuan first-rate strongman was actually, alive and kicking, forced to spit blood by Ling Wu!
