Yuwei and Lin Xu are a perfect match in terms of age, cultivation level, and family background.

If the two of them really become Daoist partners, our relationship with the Burning Heaven Sect will be greatly improved, and we might even unite with them.

If our two families could set aside past grievances and become family friends to jointly explore and share the art of weapon crafting, it would be of great benefit to both of us.

This is a cause for great joy even for the entire eastern part of the Holy Land; why not do it?

The Ling family has five branches, with Ling Yunfei, Ling Yunbo, and Ling Yuntao each leading one branch.

Under the leadership of Ling Yunbo and Ling Yuntao, many of their disciples began to support a marriage alliance with the Burning Heaven Sect.

Ling Yunfei's expression was very unpleasant; the thing he didn't want to believe had still happened.

The various unusual circumstances surrounding the Ling family competition gave him a bad feeling; it was clear that someone was secretly plotting something.

He initially thought they were some young master, but he never expected them to be his eldest brother and fifth brother. This truly broke his heart, and he was filled with grief and wanted to cry.

He had suspected his elder brother Ling Yunbo's recent actions, but he was unwilling to believe that his respected elder brother would do such a thing.

Ling Yunfei ignored Ling Yunbo and Ling Yuntao's pleas, and instead looked at them painfully, his voice hoarse, low, and suppressed as he said:

"Why?"

Ling Yuntao panicked for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Ling Yunbo. Seeing the latter remain calm, he regained his composure.

"Third brother, what are you saying? We're all thinking about the Ling family. Everything I said makes sense."

Ling Yunbo earnestly advised:

“Yunfei, times are changing. Our Ling family cannot remain unchanged. It’s not easy to have survived for so many years. We cannot let it decline in our generation. We are all doing this for the sake of the family.”

Ling Yunfei's eyes turned bloodshot, and he looked at the two of them with great confusion and pain, asking, "Tell me, why?"
