Chapter 40: Imprisoned in the Ancestral Temple
After he left, Ling Yanli looked at Ling Changge, anxiously assessing her: "Are you injured?"
"No." Ling Changge said with a smile: "Thanks to this brave man for saving me."
Ling Yanli bowed and said, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness. If there is anything that can be of use to our Ling family, please feel free to ask for it."
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." After he finished speaking, he moved and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Teleportation is an ability only possessed by those above the Spiritual Realm, so the man just now must be a strong man above the Spiritual Realm! This realization shocked everyone.
A powerful spirit realm master! How many years has it been since one appeared? What luck had Ling Changge gotten? To actually be rescued by a powerful spirit realm master, they looked at Ling Changge with envy and jealousy.
"Master Ling, your granddaughter is quite lucky!" Master Fang looked at Ling Changge and said, "Although she has no spiritual power, it is a good thing that she has been favored by a powerful person in the spiritual realm! As expected, a person with such appearance really needs to be better-looking."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
The head of the Fang family praised Ling Changge openly but criticized her secretly. On the surface, he seemed to be praising her attractive appearance, but in fact he was saying that she was just a pretty face.
Everyone present was a shrewd person. How could they not know the implication behind Patriarch Fang's words? They all laughed secretly.
Ling Changge naturally understood everything. Ling Yanli's face turned pale. At this moment, he heard Ling Changge standing beside him smile: "What Patriarch Fang said is very true. I heard that Fang Jie was seriously injured on the street some time ago. It seems that spiritual power is not very useful. It is better to be more beautiful. At least when people attack you, they will be less cautious because of your face. If you are ugly, they only need to use 30% of your strength. Seeing that ugly face, you will want to use 100%."
"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, the head of the Meng family couldn't help but burst out laughing. Their Meng family and the Ling family were good friends, and he had watched Ling Changge grow up. How come he hadn't realized that this girl was so interesting before?
Patriarch Fang's face was so dark it looked like water could drip out of it. He said in a deep voice, "Ling Changge, you don't have spiritual power, so why aren't you ashamed of it? Instead, you're proud of it?"
"Why can't I be proud of it? It's not my fault that I don't have spiritual power. Besides, it's me who lacks spiritual power, not you. I'm not worried, so why should you be? I'm not your child. If you want to control me, you might as well think about how to make your daughter prettier. It's disgusting just to look at her."
"Ling Changge!"
"Alright, alright." Patriarch Meng smiled and said, "It would be unmannerly to argue with a junior."
Even Lin Feng suffered a loss at the hands of this little girl, so what could the head of the Fang family do?
After all, as elders, they would definitely be criticized if they attacked the younger generation in public over such a small matter.
You can't talk them out of it, and you can't hit them either. It really makes people hate them to the core.
Back at the Ling family, Ling Yanli led Ling Changge to the main hall. He turned his back to Ling Changge, suppressing the anger in his heart. After a while, he turned around and said in a deep voice, "Kneel down!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Changge had no choice but to kneel on the ground and look at Ling Yanli with an innocent face.
"grandfather."
"Don't call me grandpa! I don't have a grandpa like you!" He realized that he had said the wrong thing and his face turned even uglier. "You little bastard, you feel uncomfortable all over if you don't cause me some trouble. If no one came to your rescue today, how would you be alive?"
"Even if no one comes to rescue me, I can still find a way to escape." I just need to expose myself to recover my spiritual power.
"How dare you talk back!" Ling Yanli said angrily, "You don't even have spiritual power, how are you going to get away? I repeatedly told you to take Xufeng with you when you go out, so that he can protect you in case of an emergency. Why are you so disobedient?"
"Grandfather." Ling Changge smiled. "No one can protect me forever. One day, I will have to face it on my own. Besides, how do you know that I can't protect myself?"
"I've watched you grow from this young age to now. I know your abilities better than you do." Ling Yanli said in a deep voice, "Go to the ancestral temple and reflect on your mistakes for two days!"
"grandfather!"
"It's no use saying anything, Ling Fang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper Ling Fang came over and said softly, "Miss, this old servant will take you to the ancestral temple."
Seeing that this trick didn't work, Ling Changge knew that the old man was determined to teach him a lesson, so he stood up and said softly: "Then I'm leaving! I'm really leaving! I'm leaving now!"
Ling Yanli didn't look back and only gave her his back.
Only after Ling Changge's figure disappeared did his stiff back slowly relax.
He sighed and looked back, but the figure was no longer in sight.
"This girl."
The news that Ling Changge was punished to go to the ancestral temple quickly spread throughout the Ling family.
Ling Ling sneered, "Serves her right. She gets into trouble every day! Finally, it's her turn to kneel at the ancestral temple."
"Miss, do you think the master of the family has abandoned her?"
"Hmph, she's a loser, always looking for trouble. Grandfather was so tolerant of her before, but that was only because she had no mother and her uncle was missing. Now she's caused such a big mess, even if I pity her, I'm tired of her."
"That's what the lady said."
Ling Ling waved her hand and whispered, "Go out! I need to practice."
"yes."
When Ling Changge arrived at the ancestral temple, Ling Fang comforted her softly, "Miss, the Patriarch was only angry for a moment. He actually cares about you, otherwise why would he only punish you for two days? Miss Lingling, I don't know how long she lived here before."
"It's okay." Ling Changge waved her hand indifferently: "Go back and tell the old man that I know why he locked me up, and I'm really not angry at all." After that, she entered the ancestral temple.
The door of the ancestral hall closed with a bang.
"What did she say?" Ling Yanli asked in a low voice.
"The lady said she knew why you locked her up."
"Hmph, this little girl is so ignorant that she dares to provoke Lin Feng in the street. What if something goes wrong? The Lin family is still in chaos. When he comes to his senses, I'm afraid he will definitely find a way to take Chang Ge's life. I let her go to the ancestral temple, firstly to temper her temper, and secondly to prevent the Lin family from sending people to seek revenge."
"The young lady knows all about the master's painstaking efforts."
"She still has some conscience." Ling Yanli raised his teacup, but before he could drink, he put it back. "Do you feel that Chang Ge has become much smarter recently?"
"Yes, if you had locked her up in the past, the young lady would have made a big fuss."
Ling Yanli narrowed his eyes and couldn't help muttering in his heart, walking through the gates of hell will really make a difference.
Ling Changge arrived at the ancestral temple. Just after taking a few steps, Tata's voice came from his sea of consciousness: "There is something wrong with this ancestral temple."
