Chapter 206 Ling Family Secrets
Ling Changge walked up to him and turned around. "Old man, I've seen it. Do you have anything to say?"
Ling Yanli frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't you Wuji Sect give you food? It's only been a short time, how come you've become so thin?"
At this moment, the housekeeper came in with a food box in his hand: "Master! Master! I bought it back, it's freshly baked and still hot! When the young lady gets up, you can have it..." Seeing the figure standing in the yard, the housekeeper swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue: "Young lady, you're awake."
Ling Changge looked at the things in the butler's hands curiously: "Grandfather, it's still dark, what did you ask the butler to buy?" She pointed at the food box: "Why are you still so greedy at your age?"
"You little ungrateful bastard." Old Master Ling reached out and pinched her face. "This is sweet osmanthus pastry. You're the only one in our Ling family who loves this kind of sweet pastry."
Ling Changge had of course recognized the box of osmanthus pastry a long time ago. She said this because she wanted to hear Ling Yanli say a few more words about her.
"My lady, the master has asked me to wait outside the pastry shop long ago, just to buy you the latest pastries."
"Ahem." Ling Yanli coughed a few times, looked at Ling Changge and said, "Take this cake and follow me."
Ling Changge just put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Ling Yanli turned around and said, "Just go if I tell you to. Can I really eat you?"
Ling Changge waved at his back a few times, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "Is my grandfather in menopause?"
"W-what? More, more what?"
Ling Changge waved her hand. "Forget it, forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you." She followed Ling Yanli and left. Watching them leave, the housekeeper couldn't help but smile. "The master of the family keeps asking how many days the eldest lady has been gone, and now that she's back, he's starting to make fun of her. They're truly grandfather and granddaughter! The eldest lady's personality is exactly like the master of the family."
When he entered the room, Ling Changge was still eating osmanthus cakes: "Grandfather, what are you doing here?"
Ling Yanli said nothing. He took out a golden key and injected spiritual power into it. A door appeared in the room. Ling Changge was stunned for a moment: "Grandfather, this is..."
"Follow me." Ling Yanli stepped into the door first.
Ling Changge looked into this space. The room was not big, with only some scrolls and large boxes inside.
"Grandfather, what are these?"
"Now that you've grown up, there are some things you should know." Ling Yanli picked up a scroll and said calmly, "Our Ling family has been passed down for thousands of years and was once a prosperous family."
"At its peak?" Ling Changge's lips twitched. "In Luoli Country, at its peak?"
"You little rascal!" Ling Yanli's newly brewing emotions were instantly dashed back to their original state by her: "Ten thousand years! What do you mean by ten thousand years? Ten thousand years ago, there was no Luo Li Kingdom!" He nodded Ling Changge's head: "Don't interrupt me."
He pointed at the scroll and said, "You can see how prosperous our Ling family was ten thousand years ago."
"Ten thousand years ago, the Ling family was second only to the Ganxuan Palace and the Xingchen Palace in Jiuxiaotian, and was extremely powerful. However, for some unknown reason, the spiritual roots of all the powerful members of the family dried up overnight. The powerful members of the family tried their best to preserve a trace of bloodline power, which allowed the Ling family to be passed down to this day. Although it has declined to this point, at least the bloodline still exists. When I die, I can still face my ancestors with dignity." Ling Yanli sighed and said lightly, "The Ling family will be handed over to you from now on."
As he spoke, he handed her the golden key and a seal: "This is passed down from our ancestors. The golden key can open this space, and this seal is the symbol of the head of the Ling family."
"I don't want it." Ling Changge threw the scroll aside. "You have the nerve to see our ancestors, but you're handing this hot potato to me. What if I don't have the nerve to see my ancestors?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ling Yanli glared at her. "Who would curse themselves like that?"
Knowing what she was thinking, Ling Yanli softened his tone a little: "I'm not asking for anything. I'm an old man who has survived such a disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future. I can also help you to support the Ling family for a few more years."
Seeing that she still showed no sign of nodding, Ling Yanli said loudly, "Ten thousand years ago, the Ling family was a respected and great family. What is it that you don't want?"
"A hero never brags about his past achievements." Ling Changge glanced at him and said, "A family that has been passed down for thousands of years, this is all they have?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yanli coughed softly. He had not expected that this girl was so smart. He really could not hide anything from her.
"Tell me! What else are you hiding from me?" She threw the scroll back into the box. "What's going on with the Ling family?"
"That's it..." Ling Yanli stammered, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What is it?"
"In fact, the current Ling family can only be considered a branch." Ling Yanli smiled awkwardly. "Before the spiritual roots dried up, our ancestor of the Ling family was driven out of the Ling family. As for the reason, it is not mentioned in the scrolls and ancient books, so I don't know."
"Kicked out?"
Ling Yanli nodded: "Your master is from Jiuxiaotian, maybe he knows what happened to the Ling family."
Ling Changge crossed her arms and looked at him calmly, "Old man, so you want me to help you find out about the Ling family?" She fiddled with the key and seal in her hand and said calmly, "Are you plotting against me?"
Ling Yanli choked, his face flushing crimson. After a long moment, he stretched his neck and yelled, "Who plotted against you? I was going to hand over the Ling family to you anyway."
Ling Changge shrugged and was about to return the seal in his hand. At this moment, Tata's voice came from his mind: "Why does this seal look familiar?"
Ling Changsinger paused.
"Have you seen it?"
"I seem to have seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember where now." Tata's eyes were sharp. "But I'm sure it must be something very important."
Hearing him say this, Ling Changge raised his brows slightly, and his eyes looking at the seal instantly became different. Yes, even if it is a branch, it is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. How could it not have any good things?
"Forget it if you don't want it." Ling Yanli snorted coldly: "Anyway, when I am no longer alive, you will have no choice but to take over the Ling family."
Just as he was about to take the seal back, Ling Changge flipped his palm and directly put the seal into the Burning Dragon Tower.
“I still like this little thing very much.”
"Then this Ling family..."
"I don't want it." After saying that, she walked straight out of the space.
