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

boom!

In the nick of time, everyone saw a figure flash by, grabbing Feng Qingqing in a tight embrace, and a burst of spiritual energy directly blocked Roy's attack.

"Little girl, what grudge do you hold against me that you want to kill me?"

"Ancestor!"

Upon seeing who it was, Shangguan Xiu was extremely excited.

"Here you go, your junior sister is back."

After saying that, she tossed Feng Qingqing directly to Shangguan Xiu, showing none of the tenderness she had shown just moments before.

"Junior Sister, how are you?"

Shangguan Xiu then came to his senses and inquired about Feng Qingqing's condition.

The latter shook his head, but his gaze remained fixed on Ling Yun, his eyes sparkling.

"who are you?"

Seeing that someone had rescued Feng Qingqing, Roy was clearly unhappy, his face darkening.

Clearly, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Ling Yun's appearance.

After all, she's even prettier than her.

"Roy, shut up."

Nangong Ting roared, then looked at Ling Yun.

He had just clearly heard Shangguan Xiu address the woman as "Ancestor".

Moreover, Roy was only at the third level of the initial spiritual realm, yet the woman in front of him easily blocked his attack, which shows that she was quite strong.

"I am Nan Gongting from the Dark Palace. I apologize to the senior on behalf of my junior sister. I hope the senior will not hold it against her."

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Why don't young people these days have the same lofty aspirations as those who draw in comic books?

What happened to the arrogant and disdainful attitude of those in high positions of power?

Why are you all so perceptive?

There's nowhere to vent my frustration.

He waved his hand, clearly in a bad mood.

"Ancestor, you've arrived. Did Ling Xiao and the others come too?"

Upon hearing Shangguan Xiu ask Ling Xiao, Ling Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

She was bored on the flying boat, so she asked the system to give her a live stream to see if there was anything fun nearby.

As it happened, she witnessed Feng Qingqing's appearance, which led to the story of her saving people.

After all, she is Ling Xiao's friend's junior sister, how could he not save her?

Even the system would roll its eyes if it heard that.

She clearly wanted to hit someone to vent her anger, but she insisted on making excuses for herself.

"Senior brother, who is this pretty lady?"

Feng Qingqing stared at Ling Yun without blinking; anyone who didn't know better would think Ling Yun was some kind of handsome man.

"Junior sister, you mustn't be rude. This is not some pretty lady. This senior is the patriarch of the Ling family."

It turns out that his junior sister hadn't even heard him address Ling Yun by his name.

"What? Ancestor? Senior Brother, are you sure?"

Feng Qingqing's eyes widened. This didn't look like someone at the level of an ancestor at all.

The thought of those old geezers in the temple, with their rigid and old-fashioned looks, put her in a bad mood.

Let's take another look at Ling Yun.

Her senior brother must be lying to her.

But my senior brother never lies!

Uh huh...

At that moment, she felt her light had gone out.

"Stop, don't lump me together with those old geezers."

Seeing what Feng Qingqing was thinking, he quickly interrupted her chaotic thoughts.

Although she lived a long time, her age remained stuck at twenty.

That means her age, as determined by the age-testing stone, will only show as twenty.

"Alright, beautiful ancestor."

Ling Yun's lips twitched.

Beautiful old ancestor?

What is this name?

It sounds really strange.

Nangong Ting had been observing the situation on Shangguan Xiu's side.

The patriarch of the Ling family?

Could it be the one from the Ling family, the number one family that was all the rage a while ago?

Seemingly to confirm his idea, the Ling family arrived shortly afterward.

"Quickly, flying boat!"

"I don't recognize this flying boat. I wonder who's on board?"

"Those who can possess flying boats are probably not ordinary people. Apart from the people of the One Academy, Two Halls, Three Associations, Four Families, Five Gates, and Six Sects, who else has this ability?"

......

"Ancestor, I've finally caught up with you."

The thirteenth elder leaped directly from the flying boat and arrived in front of Ling Yun.

Heaven knows how worried he was when he saw the ancestor suddenly disappear.

It's not that I'm worried about the safety of our ancestor, but rather who has offended him.

Otherwise, they might not even be able to protect the body.

Even if they were present, they might not have been able to stop the ancestor.

"Ancestor."

The Ling family and the Xuanyuan clan all disembarked from the flying boat.

Seeing them still made Lingyun feel a little heartache.

"Look, that flying boat looks like that woman's."

“These people seem to be from the Ling family, the most powerful and reclusive family in the world. Look, those are the young master, the thirteenth elder, and the fifteenth elder of the Ling family.”

"They really are from the Ling family, no, it seems like His Highness the Crown Prince is among them!"

"What? Your Highness? How is this possible?"

......

"Ling Jue!"

Ling Jue, Ling Xiao's older brother, is the young master of the Ling family.

Nangong Ting was somewhat surprised when he saw Ling Jue.

He remembered that the last time they met, Ling Jue was only at the second level of the intermediate spiritual realm. Now that they met again, he couldn't see through him at all.

Clearly, the other party's cultivation level was already above his.

As for the claim that he wore a magical artifact capable of concealing his cultivation level, that is clearly impossible.

After all, it's totally unnecessary.

"Nangong Ting? I didn't expect the Dark Palace to actually send you to the secret realm this time."

Nangong Ting and Ling Jue have always been compared by the world, which has led to them becoming rivals.

But precisely because of this, the two of them understand each other quite well.

He could be considered both a teacher and a friend.

"Your cultivation level has improved?"

Nangong Ting didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"There's nothing I can do; my younger brother is almost older than him."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao said he didn't want to be used as a shield by his older brother.

He's clearly a cultivation fanatic, isn't he?

Reminded by Ling Jue, Nangong Ting realized that the people from the Ling family who came this time were all quite powerful, a discovery that surprised him greatly.

He wasn't the only one who noticed this; many people present also noticed it.

They couldn't help but gasp sharply.

Finally, he unconsciously looked at Ling Yun.

Many people are aware of the cultivation levels of the young masters and ladies of the Ling family who are frequently seen.

As a result, within just a few months, their cultivation levels improved by leaps and bounds.

How could this not remind them of the Ling family's suddenly appearing patriarch?

They had long heard of this patriarch of the Ling family.

Now they were even more curious about how she had managed to improve the cultivation levels of so many people in such a short time.

Especially the girl holding the flying boat.

They couldn't see through it.

"Senior Brother, should we go up and ask?"

At one end of the crowd, Ye Tian and the others had been watching Ling Yun ever since he appeared.

"No need. There are too many people and too much talk right now, so it's not advisable for us to go forward. We'll have plenty of time once we enter the secret realm, and we'll eventually figure out what's going on."

Ye Tian looked at Ling Yun, hoping that the person in front of him only resembled his sixth junior sister.

Ling Yun naturally knew about Ye Tian's situation.

She just didn't want to have any contact with them.

She wanted to leave this group of people for the original owner to deal with herself.
