Chapter 9: Elixir

"What do I know? What does it have to do with me?"

"I knew you would say that." Qin Ran smiled. "On your eighth birthday, your second uncle gave you a low-level spiritual weapon. You loved it like a treasure. It was a whip."

"So what?"

"You may not know that every spiritual weapon will leave traces after use. As long as someone with strong spiritual power investigates, they will be able to find out where the traces come from." Ling Changge said softly, "Although I don't have spiritual roots, I have read a lot of ancient books over the years." This was all thanks to Ling Ling. It was she who told herself that the eldest son of the Lin family liked knowledgeable people, so she asked people to find all kinds of ancient books and locked herself in the room to study all day. During that time, Grandpa Ling thought that his granddaughter had suffered a heavy blow and was unable to recover, so he worried for a long time.

Ling Changge came out of the room and was about to go find Lin Jue with great confidence, only to hear that Lin Jue was no longer in the Lin family.

She was sad for a long time because of this.

Hearing her say this, Ling Ling's face suddenly changed.

"You, you're talking nonsense!"

"You can ask Grandfather whether I am talking nonsense or not."

Ling Ling's eyes fell on Old Man Ling, who had a gloomy expression on his face.

"grandfather···"

Old Master Ling walked up to Ling Changge, and spiritual power emerged in his hand. The golden spiritual power swept across the scar. After a while, a faint blue spiritual power emerged and disappeared in a flash, but everyone saw this scene.

"What else do you have to say?" Old Master Ling's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. The powerful pressure made Ling Ling's face turn pale in an instant.

"Grandfather, I, I know I was wrong." Ling Ling said tremblingly, "I won't do it again. I really won't do it again. I was young and ignorant before, and I had a slight argument with Chang Ge. I got angry and started hitting him. I won't do it again."

"Forget it, Grandfather." Ling Changge glanced at her and said, "Family disgrace should not be made public, especially with outsiders here."

Old Master Ling's gaze fell on the people outside the yard, and he barely suppressed the anger in his heart.

"You have harmed your own people and are cruel and ruthless. You will be punished by being confined to the ancestral temple to reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to leave without permission."

Ancestral temple?

Ling Ling shuddered, unwilling in her heart, but how could she dare to refute? She retreated in disgrace.

"Grandfather." Ling Changge put her little hand on his arm and said with a smile, "It's okay. It's all over."

Old Master Ling looked at the scars on her arm with heartache, his voice a little hoarse: "When did it happen?"

"Many years ago."

"Why didn't you tell Grandfather?"

Ling Changge smiled without saying anything.

The original Ling Changge had no spiritual power. She knew that she had caused a lot of trouble to her grandfather. If her grandfather knew that she was injured, she didn't know how worried and self-blame he would be. Although she was naughty, she was also very filial. Growing up, there was only one thing that went against her grandfather's wishes.

Her eyes fell on the straight figure outside the yard.

The four words "the man on the street is as white as jade, the young man is unparalleled in the world, and the modest gentleman" are the most appropriate evaluation of Lin Jue.

It was no wonder that Ling Changge was so fascinated by him. Lin Jue was indeed one of the best among the younger generation, but she knew that Lin Jue's nature was not as gentle as he seemed on the surface.

Perhaps Ling Changge once also wanted to know what the true face under this skin looked like, and how crazy this cold and indifferent person would become if he was ignited.

But now, what Lin Jue? What Lin family?

What does it have to do with her?

"This little bitch is really still harboring evil intentions. She is so disgusting." Lin Yushan cursed in a low voice.

When Lin Jue saw her looking at him, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.

Ling Changge shifted her gaze from his face to the elegant man, her eyebrows raised. Who on earth had said that Lin Jue was the most handsome man in Jinling? This man was a thousand times more beautiful than Lin Jue, both in appearance and in his bearing.

Gu Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw her looking at him.

It was the first time he saw such blatant scrutiny in a woman's eyes.

Old Master Ling pulled himself out of his anger, remembering that he had left Gu Junyao outside the courtyard, and hurried out, bowing and saying, "Master, please forgive me for embarrassing you with this family scandal."

"It's okay." Gu Junyao's face was as gloomy as water, and he didn't care about what had just happened.

Old Master Ling looked at Lin Jue and Lin Yushan and asked, "What are you two still doing here?"

Lin Jue bowed and said, "My younger brother was ignorant and offended Miss Ling. My father heard that Miss Ling was seriously ill, so he asked me to take some healing elixirs to Miss Ling on my behalf."

Miracle medicine?

Ling Changge didn't take it seriously at first, but at this moment, the voice of the tower spirit came from his mind.

"I want it, I want it."

"What do you need spiritual medicine for?" She communicated with the tower spirit through her mind: "You are a tower spirit, do you really need spiritual medicine to nourish yourself?"

"Of course. I can eat all kinds of spiritual medicines and natural treasures. Moreover, my soul is damaged now, so I need spiritual medicine to nourish and repair it."

"The soul is damaged? Why is it damaged?"

"Oh, don't worry about it." Ta Ling washed his nose, his eyes brightening. "I smelled the scent of spiritual herbs. Although the grade is not high, in the past, the spiritual pigs would not bother to eat it, but now I don't have anything else, so I accepted it reluctantly."

Upon hearing this, Ling Changge rolled his eyes speechlessly. You are still doing it reluctantly. You should know that spiritual medicine is the material for refining spiritual pills. In this Jinling City, if you want to buy a spiritual medicine, I don’t know how many spiritual coins you will spend. How come it becomes something that even pigs won’t eat when it enters its mouth?

Ling Changge rolled his eyes at Ta Ling, but it was a different story in the eyes of the Lin brothers and sisters.

Lin Yushan frowned and said in a cold voice, "Ling Changge, my brother and I sent you the elixir out of kindness. It's fine if you're not grateful, but how could you do such a vulgar thing?"

"What did I do?" Ling Changge sneered, "You still have the nerve to say you gave me the elixir out of kindness. Don't you think about why I was seriously injured?"

"Then, wasn't it because you kept pestering my brother that Nan'er got so angry that she started fighting with you? You've clearly done something shameful, and now you're still trying to make excuses." Lin Yushan glanced at Gu Junyao and said softly, "No girl from our Lin family would do such a shameless thing."

"Miss Lin." Old Master Ling walked up to Ling Changge and said in a deep voice, "You have no right to criticize my child. We don't want anything from your Lin family. As for the grudge between our two families, you can go back and tell Lin Feng that I, Ling Yanli, will never let it go if I bully my granddaughter."

"Yushan." Lin Jue said in a low voice, "Don't be rude."

Lin Yushan curled her lips and said no more.
