Chapter 17

Xiaoshang wanted to say something, but Feng Ye didn't give her a chance to talk nonsense again, so he couldn't help but drag her out.As the wooden door squeaked shut, Ning Shan exhaled lightly, could no longer hold back her forced smile, and lay down heavily, staring sadly at the three white candles just lit—

The light of those white candles seemed dimmed at some point, and even one of them had completely lost its light. The faint light kept swaying with the breeze, and it seemed that it was going to go out soon.

"It seems that we are really doomed..." Ning Shan sighed, turned around, and never looked at those white candles again.

Ling Xuzhuo left Ning Shan's room, simmering with anger in her heart, and angrily walked towards Patriarch Ling's study.The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He and his younger sister were obviously brothers and sisters born to the same mother. Why did his father treat his younger sister so badly? She spoke sarcastically, and she didn't have a good face at all.

For more than ten years, although Ningshan has never complained at all, the expression of silence that often appeared on her face deeply hurt Ling Xuzhuo's heart.In order to make up for his father's indifference to Ningshan, he cared for his younger sister, but he knew in his heart that he could never replace his father's position.

"No matter what, I must explain this matter to my father today!" Ling Xuzhuo secretly made up his mind.

Before reaching the door of the study room, outside the study room, heroes from all walks of life gathered here one after another. Everyone was carrying generous gifts. It seemed that they came to express their congratulations to Patriarch Ling.The door was crowded with people who came to congratulate him. Ling Tianyue, the head of the Ling family, stood in the center of the crowd, dressed in a black robe reaching to the ground, majestic without losing his demeanor.The face of the past forty years is slightly vicissitudes, but there is still an inviolable majesty and solemnity.

"Father..." Ling Xuzhuo looked at the crowd in the courtyard, hesitant, but he still walked up.

"Zhuo'er, you're here..." Ling Tianyue smiled gratifiedly when he saw his son.

"Father, I have something to tell you..." Ling Xuzhuo whispered, scanning the crowd with the corner of his eyes, implying that Ling Tianyue wanted to be alone with him.

Ling Tianyue saw that Ling Xuzhuo seemed to be angry, and he had already guessed about his intentions. He deliberately ignored Ling Xuzhuo's hints, but took him by the hand and brought him in front of various martial artists. Introduced with a loud voice: "Everyone, this is Ling Xuzhuo, the son of Ling, who will be the next head of the Ling family. Please give me your advice!"

Seeing the next head of the Ling family coming, everyone surrounded them one after another. A man with the appearance of a Taoist smirked and flattered him and said, "This is your noble son. He is really a good-looking talent. He looks extraordinary in appearance, and he will become a great man in the future." device..."

"It's just... the young people are awesome..." Another swordsman also agreed with approval.

The next patriarch of the Ling family, the future successor of Wulin, how could such important people not take this opportunity to get to know each other well.Ling Tianyue's words immediately shifted the focus of the crowd to Ling Xuzhuo, and the crowd stepped forward to compliment and agree, hoping to make a good impression in front of the next head of the Ling family.

Surrounded by the crowd, Ling Xuzhuo kept pretending to perfunctory and politely smiled, and managed to get away flawlessly for a while.Feng Ye and Leng Xiaoshang who followed closely stood far away, watching Ling Xuzhuo being "sieged" by the crowd, they both sighed inwardly, secretly admiring Ling Tianyue's "means".

"Brother Zhuo, take care..." Leng Xiaoshang pretended to be "sorrowful" and shook her head, but her eyes were full of gloating.

"At least...you don't have to worry about conflicts between him and Uncle Ling..." Feng Ye shrugged indifferently.

Ling Tianyue saw Feng Ye and Leng Xiaoshang standing far outside the crowd, his eyes turned cold, and he walked out of the crowd and came to Feng Ye.

"Junior Feng Ye, I have seen Sect Master Ling..." Feng Ye cupped his fists and bowed respectfully.

"Feng Ye..." Ling Tianyue looked at him with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Xuanying Villa is able to welcome the distinguished guests of the Leng clan, it really makes our villa flourish... "

Feng Ye bowed respectfully, and replied humbly: "Sect Master Ling was joking, it's a great honor for Feng Ye, a martial artist, to come to such a grand occasion..."

Ling Tianyue sneered, looked at Feng Ye coldly, and didn't appreciate it at all: "My Ling family's sacrificial ceremony, patriarch Leng's worth is so high, he actually only sent an adopted son of the Leng family to my villa, heh heh, it's really giving me a lot of face what……"

"Although Feng is an adopted son, the third miss of the Leng family came to Xuanying Villa to celebrate in person under the order of brother Xuanyu. It is not inappropriate to talk about etiquette in the world..." Feng Ye's face was still respectful, but the provocative meaning in his words was not It's already full: "Shu Feng is stupid, I don't know why in the village, I don't see the patriarchs of the Chixiao, Jinlu, and Jianghan clans at all, Feng is not talented, I don't know if the patriarchs of these three clans are also busy with business, and can't take care of these rivers and lakes What about trivial matters?"

The sharpness hidden in the smile, the knife is aggressive, and he is not afraid of Ling Tianyue's identity as the patriarch of the five clans.Ling Tianyue narrowed his eyes, looked Feng Ye up and down, and unexpectedly became interested in the young man in front of him.He had always disliked wretched villains who followed his power, but Feng Ye dared to challenge his authority openly and undermine his vigor. This was the first time in the Jianghu, except for the patriarchs of the five clans, anyone dared to talk to him like this.

I heard that Cangfeng Leng's family adopted an adopted son in the early years, named Feng Ye, whose appearance and martial arts are well-known in the Jianghu. I also heard that this person is strange and changeable. He is ruthless and cruel when killing people, but he often goes to romantic places , Mingled with the dancers and singers, and it seemed that there were many brothel girls who were willing to defend him like a jade and wash their hands for him after meeting him.Fengye, this name can be said to be a mysterious existence in Jianghu.

"You have the guts—" Ling Tianyue snorted softly, his eyes and tone eased, but his aggressive posture did not diminish at all: "If I kill you here, do you think you have a chance to survive? "

"This junior thinks he is not the opponent of Sect Master Ling." Feng Ye smiled lightly, his eyes were calm without any panic: "But this junior knows very well that at the time of the Ling family's sacrificial ceremony, Sect Master Ling will not break Ling Ling's hand because of this junior's unknown pawn. The family's prestige and reputation in the rivers and lakes..."

"Are you threatening me?" Ling Tianyue narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Feng is just telling the truth..." Feng Ye smiled, as if he had a plan in mind.

"Good! Sure enough!" Ling Tianyue laughed appreciatively, nodded in satisfaction, and his eyes were full of approval: "I didn't expect that the Cangfeng Leng family would have such a talent, the world is indeed formidable..."
