Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 361 Patriarch Ling's Embarrassment
After dinner, Ling Lan set up another barrier outside the yard to prevent people from eavesdropping and peeping, and only then did she hear Ling Yi talk about going to see Patriarch Ling.

Some Ling family members outside the yard lingered for a long time, but couldn't hear a sound, and finally had no choice but to leave.

At this time, in the small courtyard lit by dim candlelight, Ling Lan's father and daughter had a happy conversation.

"Patriarch Ling came to me this time and asked about the summoner's aura on my body."

Ling Yi sat on the top chair and spoke slowly.

On his right side, Ling Lan leaned lazily on the chair.Tailless shrunk down to the size of a kitten, and hugged her obediently in her arms, letting Ling Lan rub the soft fur on its head time after time.

Looking at it suddenly, Wuwei looks like a snow-white fur ball, so cute.

"Ask you about the aura of the summoner?" Ling Lan had a faint guess in her heart, "Could it be that Patriarch Ling noticed something?"

"That's right," Ling Yi stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

It turned out that Patriarch Ling noticed that the summoner aura emanating from Ling Yi was very similar to the Ling family, so he asked Ling Yi to discuss it in detail.

Ling Yi didn't want to reveal his identity.If he had this idea, when he met Ling Junze in the mercenary union, he could have revealed his identity and proved himself with the Ling family's unique summoner aura.

But he didn't do it.

If it wasn't for the sincere attitude of Patriarch Ling this time, making Ling Yi feel that he is a trustworthy person, Ling Yi would not admit that he is also from the Ling family.

However, Ling Yi only revealed some basic identity information to Patriarch Ling.

At this time, Patriarch Ling knew nothing about Ling Yi except that his real surname was "Ling" and that he came from the eighth-class country Dongyang.

Including Ling Yi's experience over the years, the confrontation with the Assassin Star and so on.

Even though Patriarch Ling felt that he was a reliable person, Ling Yi still kept his eyes open.

He has been wandering outside these years and has seen too many betrayals, so he has become accustomed to being on guard.

Maybe the companions who were advancing and retreating together and killing the enemy together one second, will shoot cold arrows in the back to hurt people the next second.

Now, except for Ling Lan, Ling Yi can't completely trust anyone.Even Patriarch Ling is the same.

Now that he has revealed his identity, Ling Yi has much less worries.

He then told Patriarch Ling about hiring a mystic master from outside.

"Old Mr. Wei, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It seems a little inappropriate for the Ling family to regard the external mystic master as the savior of the whole family."

Ling Yi is not that kind of reckless person, he said while observing Patriarch Ling's face.

If Patriarch Ling showed even a trace of dissatisfaction, Ling Yi would never mention this matter again in the future.

Because he doesn't want to help a foolish person.

However, Patriarch Ling did not show the slightest disgust, but signaled Ling Yi to continue talking.

Ling Yi feels at ease, it seems that the Ling family is not all full of wine bags and rice bags.Patriarch Ling is a sensible person, so it is much easier to speak.

"From the current point of view, it is true that the external mystic masters gathered the strength of everyone to make the Ling family stronger in a short period of time, but the hidden dangers brought about by this cannot be ignored."

"External mystic masters are like a piece of loose sand attached to the land of the Ling family. If one day a storm hits, it will be the piece of loose sand that will split first."

Ling Yi tried his best to express himself in a tactful way.

Ling Yi originally thought that this remark would cause Patriarch Ling to reflect, but unexpectedly, Patriarch Ling nodded to him directly.

——What does this mean? !Could it be that Patriarch Ling has long realized the inappropriateness of this approach?
But this doesn't make sense!

That being the case, why didn't Patriarch Ling carry out reforms and adopt a more appropriate method?
Ling Yi couldn't figure it out.He looked at Patriarch Ling suspiciously, hoping that the other party could give him an answer.

"In that case, why didn't the old man—"

Ling Yi hadn't finished speaking when he saw Patriarch Ling's face suddenly darkened.

Patriarch Ling frowned tightly, as if there was a dense fog that could not be dispersed.

After talking for several hours, Patriarch Ling has always been gentle and unhurried.This was the first time Ling Yi saw his expression.

Ling Yi swallowed the half-sentence he hadn't had time to finish, and waited for Patriarch Ling's answer.

Patriarch Ling shook his head silently, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and a sigh escaped from his chest and abdomen.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

Although Patriarch Ling didn't say anything, Ling Yi already understood the meaning behind his sigh.

——The Ling family is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

It's just that they don't know what kind of ulterior secrets are hidden behind Patriarch Ling's inability to speak to others.

……

The jumping candlelight cast Ling Lan's shadow on the snow-white wall, she was like a person walking down from the painting, unstained by dust.

The beauty lowered her eyes, gently stroking the little fox in her arms with her bare hands, not knowing what she was thinking.

After listening to Ling Yi's narration, the doubt that originally existed in Ling Lan's heart also disappeared.

She had already guessed that the leader of the Ling family, who was able to kill decisively, was helpless. The situation of the Ling family was probably a little complicated.

As the superior, Patriarch Ling not only has to consider the revival of the family, but also takes into account the various forces that are intertwined in the family.

Therefore, the reason why Patriarch Ling allowed this kind of chaos is also due to his difficulties.

While the doubts dissipated, Ling Lan also had a little more affection for the Ling family.

She originally planned to find a suitable time to leave after transitioning to the Ling family for a while.

But now, she doesn't mind staying in Ling's house often.

Anyway, in her body, the blood of the Ling family also flows.If she is in a good mood, maybe she will help the Ling family once in a while.

……

Ling Yi beat Yue Ming, the troublemaker, away, and the external mystic masters settled down a lot.

Because they were afraid of being expelled from the Ling family in the same fate as Yue Ming, they didn't dare to be lazy anymore.

Mr. Sheng was also very forthright. Seeing that the mystic masters were working hard every day, he waved his hand and allowed everyone a day off.

This is exactly what Ling Lan wanted.She had wanted to go into town for a long time.

Now that she has reached the cultivation level of Emperor Xuan, some of the previous weapons and equipment are no longer suitable for her.

Ling Lan wanted to find a few weapons and protective equipment to line his hands, so he came to the street alone.

The liveliness of a first-class big country is naturally incomparable to that of an inferior small country.

The shops selling weapons and equipment alone occupy a square market.

There are row upon row of shops on both sides of the street, and people come and go on the three-foot-wide bluestone road.

All kinds of noisy sounds filled my ears, the cries of vendors, the sounds of buyers bargaining...all flooded into Ling Lan's ears like a tide.
