Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Ling Lie looked at Ling Yun with a shocked expression and his brows furrowed.

"You really aren't lying to me?"

Clearly, there was still some disbelief.

How could she possibly be that little baby from back then?

This is simply unbelievable.

"No, that's not right. If she were that baby from back then, no matter how horrific her growth was, she wouldn't be like this."

"Moreover, I am quite certain that she is the ancestor of the Ling family."

Ling Yun listened to their conversation.

They didn't ask any further questions about the baby they mentioned from back then.

Since they brought it up in front of her, they probably didn't intend to hide it from her.

Ling Yongchang was somewhat puzzled, seeing how certain his ancestor was that Ling Yun was their Ling family's mysterious ancestor.

He knew that the ancestor would never joke about such a thing.

So what happened in between?

and many more!

Lingyun has indeed given off a different vibe since he came back.

Even though she has been away from the Ling family for several years, the tone of her letters has never changed.

Thinking of this, a terrible thought arose in Ling Yongchang's mind.

Could that child be...?

He looked at Ling Yun, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

She wanted to know if she was really as he suspected, but she was also afraid that she was right.

Finally, with a heavy heart, she asked, "Are you still the same Ling Yun?"

Ling Yun could also see his unease and understood what he was thinking.

And she never intended to hide it from them.

Even if she wanted to hide it, it probably wouldn't take a day for them to become suspicious.

After all, she couldn't do what the original owner did—putting others first and making things difficult for herself.

"Yes and no."

"Huh? What does this mean?" Ling Lie and Ling Yongchang were puzzled again.

Yes or no.

What does "yes and no" mean?

"This body is not mine."

Ling Yongchang, who was already prepared, was still taken aback when he heard these words.

His eyes revealed deep self-reproach.

Ling Lie was also somewhat saddened.

After all, they are children of the Ling family.

"Can you tell me how she died?"

"If you care too much about something, you will get hurt by it. The more she desires it, the less likely she is to get what she wants."

Ling Yongchang subconsciously failed to understand the meaning of these words.

He then kept repeating Lingyun's words.

Thinking back to the sect that Ling Yun was unwilling to mention.

"Was Yun'er killed by her so-called sect?"

"With your current strength, you are no match for them."

Looking at Ling Yongchang, whose eyes were bloodshot and who was gritting his teeth in anger.

She had no trouble suspecting that this guy would come straight to her door.

The Heavenly Sect is no small sect; it naturally possesses many powerful individuals.

Even so, I will avenge Yun'er.

"Alright, as the head of the household, do you still act so recklessly and without regard for the consequences?"

“Grand Ancestor, are we just going to let this matter drop? That’s the third son’s child. Don’t you know how much the third son and his wife paid to protect her back then? If the third son finds out that we failed to protect his daughter, I don’t know what the consequences will be.”

Ling Lie was at a loss for words.

The tragic state of Ling Cang and his wife back then is still vivid in my mind.

"Ancestor, do you have a way to save that child?"

Ling Lie felt helpless, but seeing Ling Yun standing calmly to the side like an outsider gave him a glimmer of hope.

Ling Yun had a headache at the moment.

What exactly happened between her and the Ling family?

Why does it seem like this person is convinced that she has a way to bring people back to life?

Okay, she does have it.

Just not now.

"Tell me what exactly happened to the Ling family!"

Ling Lie did not respond.

"This……"

The two felt they couldn't quite keep up with her thought process.

"This isn't your Ling family's main residence, is it?"

"Our ancestor is indeed our ancestor; he saw through it all."

Sure enough, he still couldn't bear to see his ancestor like this.

It's really embarrassing.

“This is indeed not the Ling family’s main residence. This story goes back more than ten years.”

Now, this northern city is only a part of the Ling family's territory.

Back then, Ling Cang suddenly returned to the Ling family with his pregnant wife, Murong Xue, who was several months pregnant, and both of them were seriously injured.

This ultimately led to Lingyun being born prematurely.

However, no one expected this.

After Ling Cang and his wife gave birth to Ling Yun, they asked Ling Zhen, the true head of the Ling family, to send the newborn Ling Yun to the northern border region.

Therefore, they could not have any contact with them and had to sever all ties with the Ling family in the northern city.

None of them understood or could figure out the reason.

After the couple finished giving their instructions, Murong Xue fell into a coma.

Ling Cang seemed to know this, and after leaving Murong Xue at the Ling family, he left.

From then on, they lost all contact with Ling Cang.

As for Murong Xue...

After Ling Cang left, Murong Xue was sent to the Ling family's forbidden area by the Ling family head.

Still unconscious...

For the sake of his newborn younger brother Lingyun, Ling Yongchang personally volunteered to accompany Lingyun to the northern part of the city.

The Ling family had more than one ancestor. Ling Lie was the youngest ancestor, but he was quite powerful.

Naturally, he was also arranged to accompany them.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

It really is the fate of the female lead!

High-risk professions, parents of the male and female protagonists.

They either go missing, are seriously injured, or become orphans.

However, the Ling family is truly kind-hearted.

For the sake of his brother's child, he was willing to come to this godforsaken place.

They have no resources.

"Master, I have something to report."

A hurried voice came from outside the forbidden area.

Ling Yongchang had no choice but to leave.

At this time, a large crowd had gathered outside the forbidden area.

He frowned subconsciously.

"What are you all doing here?"

"Patriarch, the young sect master of the Feng Huo Sect and several elders of the Feng Huo Sect have been rescued."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yongchang frowned.

Do you know who it is?

"I don't know. The person who came was dressed in all black and moved extremely fast. I couldn't see who it was at all."

"Is anyone hurt?"

"The people who came were probably mainly there to save lives and did not have any conflict with us. However, about ten of our disciples are still unconscious for some reason."

To be able to appear so quietly in the Ling family's presence and rescue people so easily, the other party must not only be strong but also possess something else.

"Take me to see those people."

In one of the Ling family disciples' courtyards, about ten people were placed side by side.

On the surface, they all looked like they were sleeping, and even seemed to be having a sweet dream, with smiles on their faces.

“Patriarch, we can’t wake these people up no matter what we do. The Third Elder just showed them the body.”

"What about the Third Elder? What did he say?"

"The Third Elder was unaware of this situation. He went to the library to see if he could find anything."

"It's Dream Soul Incense."

Ling Yun looked at the Ling family disciples who had fallen into a deep sleep and said.

"Ancestor."

Ling Yongchang said to Ling Lie, "As for Ling Yun..."

He still can't accept it.

Ling Yun didn't care.

"Ancestor? Wow, our Ling family has an ancestor!"
