135: Chapter 135 Speculation

“Second Sister, all of this is because your Saint Body is the rare Mystic Yin Saint Body. If he had engaged in Dual Cultivation with you at the beginning of your Awakening, he would have gained endless benefits.”

“The most straightforward benefit is that his Cultivation would have increased several times over.”

“I think Ming Yun must have used some method to detect that you possessed an unawakened Mystic Yin Saint Body, which is why he dispatched experts to pursue you. Otherwise, if he merely wanted to assassinate you and nip your immense potential in the Nine Heavens Profound Palace in the bud, he wouldn't have expended such great effort.”

“After all, a Martial Artist at Earth Martial Realm Perfection, under the pursuit of more than ten Heaven Martial Realm powerhouses, would have no chance of escaping, let alone escaping this far.”

Hearing this, Ye Yun slowly began to explain to Ling Shu.

“Brother Feng, are you saying that these people held back during the pursuit and deliberately let me go?”

“Since Ming Yun wants to capture me, wait for my Saint Body to Awaken, and then engage in Dual Cultivation with me to help him improve his Cultivation, then why are the people he sent doing this now?”

After listening to Ye Yun's explanation and pondering for a moment, Ling Shu couldn't help but ask again.

“You're foolish, Second Sister.”

“I've analyzed it so clearly, and you still haven't figured it out. Did your brain get damaged from Cultivating so much these past few years outside?”

Hearing this, Ling Feng didn't respond directly but instead teased Ling Shu.

“You brat, how dare you talk to your sister like that? Are you itching for a beating?”

Hearing Ling Feng's teasing, Ling Shu couldn't help but laugh and scold him, even making a gesture to swat at him.

“Alright, I won't joke with you anymore, Second Sister. If you were really captured by these people, what would you do?”

Seeing this, Ling Feng shook his head and slowly spoke.

“Hmph, trying to capture this Young Miss alive? Dream on!”

“Even if that day truly comes, all they will get is this Young Miss's corpse.”

Hearing Ling Feng's question, Ling Shu said loudly and indignantly.

“See? You said so yourself. Clearly, your background has already been thoroughly investigated by this person named Ming Yun. After discovering that you were fleeing towards the Family's location, he took the opportunity to follow. When the time comes, they'll catch everyone in one swoop. With your Family members in their hands, the lives of tens of thousands of Family members will be tied to you. Will you submit or not?”

Looking at Ling Shu in front of him, Ling Feng analyzed and then retorted.

“This...”

For a moment, Ling Shu was rendered speechless by Ling Feng's question, and it was evident that her face was filled with conflicted emotions.

“Do you understand now?”

“Brother Feng, then are you saying that these people have probably already staked out the Ling Family from the periphery?”

“I'm sorry, Brother Feng, Father. I've implicated the Ling Family.”

Hearing this, Ling Shu, after a moment of contemplation, lowered her head, her face full of shame, and slowly said to Ling Feng and Ling Wuji beside her.

“Hahaha, I never thought you had this side to you, little brother. I've truly seen something today.”

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter, lightheartedly teasing her again.

However, before Ling Shu could speak, Ling Wuji's figure flashed, and he appeared directly behind Ling Feng, patting him on the head and scolding him with a smile.

“You brat, don't you see your Second Sister is like this? And you're still gloating. This matter is entrusted to you. How dare they scheme against my daughter? I will make them pay a heavy price.”

After speaking, he then pulled Ling Shu, who was beside him, and walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly called out to the two who were about to leave.

“Father, Second Sister, wait a moment.”

Then, under their gaze, he waved his hand, and two small white porcelain bottles appeared in Ling Feng's palm.

“Second Sister, these two porcelain bottles each contain one of the best Medicinal Pills for treating your internal injuries. After consuming and refining them, you will fully recover. Don't use those other healing Medicinal Pills you have anymore.”

“When you've recovered, come find me. I'll give you a surprise.”

“Mm-hm.”

Hearing this, Ling Shu immediately stepped forward and took the Medicinal Pills from Ling Feng's hand, then followed Ling Wuji quickly out of the hall... After the two figures disappeared from Ling Feng's sight, Ling Feng's originally smiling face instantly changed, becoming extremely gloomy.

“Anyone who dares to scheme against my kin must die.”

If Ling Wuji and the others were here, they would surely be shocked by the killing intent emanating from Ling Feng at this moment.

“Ling Di.”

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Feng called out coldly.

“Family Head.”

As soon as Ling Feng's voice fell, a whooshing sound echoed, and Ling Di appeared before Ling Feng, responding respectfully.

“You should have heard about Young Miss's situation just now. Issue an order to the Shadow Pavilion. Have them find all these people for me. Confirm whether it is as I suspect, and after verification, leave no one alive.”

“Additionally, investigate the situation of this Ming Yun and his affiliated forces, and also whether anyone in the Nine Heavens Profound Palace was involved in this matter.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

Hearing Ling Feng's instructions, Ling Di respectfully agreed, then no longer lingered, turning directly and quickly departing.

Watching Ling Di's quickly departing figure, Ling Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

“It won't be long...”

...The next day.

Clear Breeze Courtyard.

“Thump-thump... thump-thump...”

A Family steward quickly came into the courtyard and respectfully reported to Ling Feng.

“Reporting to Family Head, an envoy dispatched by the Great Chu Dynasty is seeking an audience outside.”

Originally, Ling Feng had planned to visit his Second Sister this morning, but he didn't expect to be stopped by a Family Disciple just as he was about to leave. Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself.

“At this time, why would the Great Chu Imperial Family send an envoy?”

With a mind full of questions, Ling Feng immediately instructed the Family steward in front of him.

“Take him to the Main Peak Grand Hall. I will be there shortly.”

“Also, send someone to inform the Grand Elder and the Second Elder to come along.”

“Yes, Family Head.”
