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

Upon hearing "Second Sister," Ling Wanrou couldn't hold back any longer and ran over to hug Ling Xiao tightly.

He hasn't changed much from the fourth brother I remember, except that he's grown up and become more handsome.

Ling Jiu had never seen her second sister so excited.

But my second sister is in the eye of the storm right now. If she were to hug a man in public like this, who knows what rumors would spread.

In response, he looked at Ling Xiao with very unfriendly eyes.

"Second sister, if you keep hugging her, Xiao Jiu is probably going to attack me."

"Xiao Si, you're finally back."

Ling Wanrou's eyes were red as she wiped away tears.

"Second sister, I'm back."

"Second sister, who is he...?"

Hearing Ling Xiao call Ling Wanrou "Second Sister," Ling Jiu was somewhat puzzled.

She's never seen him before.

“Xiao Jiu, this is your fourth brother, Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao, this is Xiao Jiu. She wasn’t even born when you left.”

Fourth brother!

Ling Jiu stared wide-eyed at Ling Xiao.

She had only heard about this fourth brother from her family, but had never met him.

"Hello, Fourth Brother, I am Ling Jiu, you can call me Xiao Jiu."

Knowing they were family, Ling Jiu became very enthusiastic.

"Hello, Xiao Jiu."

"Xiao Si, why didn't you go straight back to the Ling family after you returned? You didn't even tell me."

"Second sister, I can't explain this matter clearly in a short time. As for returning to the Ling family... it depends on the ancestor's decision."

Now that they've recognized each other, there's nothing left to hide.

"Ancestor?"

Ling Wanrou was somewhat puzzled, and then the image of the Third Elder addressing Ling Yun flashed through her mind.

This was combined with the image of the ancestor that the family head had shown them before.

In an instant, she understood why she felt so familiar with Ling Yun when she first saw him.

She is exactly the same as the ancestor in the painting.

"Has the Ancestor truly been reborn?"

"Haven't you seen it? Besides, if it weren't for the Ancestor, how could we have taken it upon ourselves to leave the Northern City?"

indeed.

If it weren't for the appearance of the ancestor, my uncle and the others would never have been able to leave the northern city.

Moreover, Ling Xiao had no reason to deceive her.

No, she had to go back immediately and tell the family head and the others.

"Second sister, we came to Longcheng this time not to return to the Ling family, but because the ancestor wants us, the younger generation, to enter the secret realm for training. So we will stay in Longcheng for a while before the secret realm appears."

Ling Xiao understood Ling Wanrou's meaning, so he explained, thus putting her at ease.

"You're not planning to come back to the Ling family with me?"

"I'm with the Ancestor. Without the Ancestor, I wouldn't be able to go back for the time being. Alright, Second Sister, I won't linger any longer. I need to take the others to find the Ancestor."

Without giving Ling Wanrou a chance to stay, he quickly left.

"Second sister, what are you saying? I can't understand a word you're saying!"

Ling Jiu was puzzled.

"It's normal that you don't know. Let's go back first."

After Ling Yun left, the Mu family had already taken the unconscious Mu Baixue back to the Mu residence.

As for Xuanyuan Yi.

He stayed after noticing Ling Wanrou's situation, and unexpectedly, he actually heard such important words.

However, he also knew that Ling Wanrou and the others had discovered his presence from the very beginning, but they did not try to hide it from him.

Ancestor?

It seems that this ancestor will soon be welcomed back by the Ling family.

It seems he needs to speak with his father.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun and the Third Elder had already found another restaurant.

----------

boom!

"Are you telling the truth?"

The study of the head of the Ling family.

As soon as Ling Wanrou returned to the Ling family, she went straight to the head of the Ling family, Ling Jun. After telling Ling Jun everything, she was so shocked that she stood up from her seat.

“Patriarch, Wanrou wouldn’t dare lie, and my fourth brother has already arrived in Longcheng.”

Ling Jun pondered for a while.

Ling Yongchang is a very steady and reliable junior. If it weren't for the birth of the ancestor, he probably wouldn't have allowed Ling Xiao to enter Dragon City in his lifetime.

It seems this is almost certainly true.

"I understand. You go back first, and don't tell anyone else about this, especially your aunt."

Ling Yongchang's wife was already ill from missing him and her youngest son.

If we hear news of Ling Xiao at this time, who knows what might happen.

He also felt a little guilty about what Ling Yongchang's family had done for Ling Cang.

"Don't worry, Master, I know what to do."

"Well, go back."

After Ling Wanrou left, Ling Jun went directly to the forbidden area.

This is where the Ling family's ancestor went into seclusion.

But they will all retain an ancestor.

"I said, why are you here again? It's only been a little over ten years since you last came, right? What? Which junior member of the Ling family got into trouble again this time?"

Under normal circumstances, even Ling Jun, the current head of the Ling family, would not enter or leave the Ling family's forbidden area casually, unless something major happened to the Ling family.

More than a decade ago, Ling Jun came here once for Ling Cang.

"Go away, go away! You think I wanted to come? Humph! If it weren't for that brat Ling Lie's trickery back then, how could I have become the head of the family?"

Thinking about this filled him with anger.

If there were no suitable people in the Ling family to be the head of the family now, he would have already gone to the forbidden area for seclusion.

Where you'd be working yourself to the bone like you are now.

"Alright, alright, stop holding it in. Tell me, what happened this time?"

The Hongyuan Ancestor did not want to waste any more time on this issue.

Otherwise, this guy might just quit.

He didn't want to be the head of the family.

"The ancestor has been born."

"What? Are you serious?"

Upon hearing the name "Ancestor," the previously listless Ancestor Hongyuan immediately opened his eyes, so excited that he almost lost control of his spiritual power.

Ling Jun repeated everything Ling Wanrou had said, word for word.

"Although I haven't confirmed it yet, it's pretty much a done deal, so I've come to ask if you want to come with me to confirm it."

His main concern was that he was afraid of neglecting his ancestor if he went alone.

More importantly, I was afraid of losing my composure, so I found someone to share it with. If I were to lose my composure, I would do it together. I couldn't let myself embarrass myself in front of the ancestor alone.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Hongyuan's ancestor was extremely excited.

Ling Yun made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts, and the two quickly located where he was staying.

"Why don't you go knock on the door?"

"Pah, why don't you go?"

However, looking at the tightly closed door, the two looked at each other, neither daring to go forward and disturb them.

They all knew that the old man had a terrible temper when he woke up.

They dare not.

"If you two don't come in, you can stay outside."

Just as the two were pushing and shoving each other, Ling Yun's voice reached their ears.

Without any hesitation, I quickly went inside.

Ling Yun was sitting to the side drinking tea.

After learning from Ling Xiao that he and Ling Wanrou had recognized each other, she knew that the Ling family would take action.

Therefore, she had been waiting for a long time.

"Ancestor! It really is you, you've finally returned."
