Chapter 3915 - 3915 Back to the Ling family
3915 Back to the Ling family
Even though miss Ling’s current strength was comparable to many elders who had cultivated for a hundred years, her age was still there. She was not a real elder, and more or less had the temperament of a child. Sometimes, it was quite interesting to tease others.
“Alright, I’ll lead the way.” Ling Zhongxiao’s brows were raised in joy, and he was the first to rush out of the Stardust shuttle. Because he was too excited, he almost fell off his flying sword.
Ling Chuxi smiled slightly and also left the Stardust shuttle on her flying sword.
Ancient families had their own dignity. If they flew over on their flying spirit weapon, they would be seen as being disrespectful to them, and it was likely to lead to unnecessary disputes. The Ling family might have fallen, but their reputation as an ancient family still existed. They couldn’t break the rules.
Not long after, a huge ancient house appeared in their line of sight. In terms of scale, it was several times larger than the ethereal sect residence.
It was not hard to see the Ling family’s former glory through this ancient and massive mansion.
As the saying goes, the closer she got to the Ling family, the more excited Ling Chuxi was, and the more nervous she felt.
Ling Chu couldn’t help but use his divine sense to investigate. He frowned.
The Ling family was currently in a state of silence. Although the old mansion was protected by a restriction and her divine sense couldn’t enter, the entire Ling family’s surroundings were shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
Logically speaking, even with the protection of the restriction, she should have heard something. However, there was no sound coming from the Ling family at all. In such a large family, it was inevitable that there would be children. It was impossible for all the young people to be as calm as Ling Zhongxiao and not make a single sound. Ling Chuxi could not understand no matter how much she thought about it.
“What’s the matter, great Alchemist Ling?” Ling Zhongxiao could see that Ling Chuxi’s expression was a little strange and asked curiously.
“How many people are living in This Old House?” Ling Chuxi asked.
“There are about a thousand disciples in the Ling family. Including the guards, the men of sacrifice, and their families, there are more than three thousand people.” Ling Zhongxiao said.
“There are so many people here, how can there be no sound at all?” Ling Chuxi asked in confusion.
Ling Zhongxiao’s expression changed. If not for Ling Chuxi’s reminder, he would not have noticed this.
“Could something have happened?” Ling Zhongxiao’s heart thumped and he increased his speed.
Ling Chuxi also felt uneasy and followed closely behind him.
“Who are you? When we reach the Ling clan’s ancestral residence, hurry up and drop the flying sword!” There were a few middle-aged men in tight-fitting clothes standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw Ling Zhongxiao and the rest approaching on their flying swords from afar, they drew their swords and asked with a face full of killing intent.
Hearing these shouts, Ling Zhongxiao’s expression relaxed. He recognized the voices of those people, they were the Ling family guards. Since these guards were standing guard at the door, nothing major should have happened.
“It’s me, Ling Zhongxiao,” Ling Zhongxiao let go of his flying sword and quickly walked towards the main gate.
A man of the same age, who was dressed differently from the other guards, did not bow, but only glanced at him indifferently.
Ling Chuxi noticed that this man’s eyes were obviously filled with hostility. She found it strange in her heart. As a guard of the Ling family, how could he be hostile to his master?
“This is?” Ling Zhongxiao did not notice the hostility in the Guard’s eyes. He only felt that the guard was a little unfamiliar and asked doubtfully.
“I’m Ling huaixin, the new head guard. ” The middle-aged man said arrogantly.
