3739 Humiliation
He was born into a lowly family, and he hated people mentioning his family background the most. Ling Xuantong's words had touched the most lowly and vulnerable spot in his heart.
"I remember that your surname isn't Ling. This surname was given to you by the third elder, right?" Ling Xuantong continued to ask without changing his expression.
"That's right, my surname wasn't Ling in the past, but the third elder allowed me to take the surname Ling and gave me the name Huai an. Now, I'm already an inner sect disciple of the Ling family." Ling Huai 'an suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be proud. However, the anger in his eyes clearly revealed his deep inferiority.
"Go back and tell your master that he can take whatever he wants. He should send some lowlife cats and dogs over. Aren't they afraid of disgracing their own status?" Ling Xuantong suddenly raised his voice and angrily rebuked.
Ling Xuantong had been the head elder of the Ling family for many years, and his aura was incomparable to ordinary people. It was fine if he wasn't angry, but once he was, his aura was as powerful as it was in the past. His hair and beard were all standing up, making him look like a god. Ling Huai 'an was so scared that he revealed his true colors and retreated with a face full of fear.
"Ling ... Ling Xuantong, don't force me, or else ..." Ling Huai 'an finally managed to steady himself. He was embarrassed and shouted in exasperation.
"Otherwise what? do you dare to hurt me? [Back then, I risked my life for the Ling family. Even the six royal families have to call me elder Ling. Now, I'm being bullied by dogs. How dare you bully me!] To think that he, Ling Mohan, still wants to get his hands on the position of the family head. He actually hid his head and revealed his tail, doing something that can't be shown in public. If this gets out, he won't be afraid of being laughed at. " Ling Xuantong cursed.
"You're talking nonsense. When did the third elder want to take the position of the family head?" Ling Huai 'an said with a flustered expression.
"Hmph, he can hide his little thoughts from others, but can he hide them from me? The Ling family has already fallen to such a state, and he's still thinking about fighting for power, wasting precious cultivation resources on a nobody like you. If the Ling family falls into his hands, it'll be a real misfortune for the family!" Ling Xuantong said without any mercy.
"Ling Xuantong, it's one thing for you to humiliate me, but how dare you slander the third elder? it seems like I have to teach you a lesson today." Ling Huai 'an's face was red and white from the scolding. He drew his sword with a swish.
Hearing this, Ling Chuxi faintly understood a little. This Ling Huai 'an was some third elder's trusted aide. The third elder coveted the position of the family head and wanted to get something from uncle Tong, so he sent Ling Huai' an to threaten and bribe him. However, just as uncle Tong had scolded, this Ling Huai 'an was indeed not presentable. After all, uncle Tong and uncle Qin were the Ling family's honorary experts. Even if they were seriously injured, their status was still there, and he actually dared to speak rudely.
However, from this, it could be seen that the Ling family's internal problems were more serious than he had imagined. Ling Huai 'an was a disciple with a different surname. In the end, he was just a servant who boiled water and swept the floor. After following the third elder, he had become so arrogant. His grandfather was the head of the family, and his days were probably not that good.
Seeing Ling Huai 'an shed all pretenses of cordiality, throwing his sword and charging at uncle Tong, Ling Chuxi grabbed the hilt of her sword.
She knew of uncle Qin and uncle Tong's injuries. Even though they managed to preserve their monarch level cultivation, their sea of Qi and meridians were damaged, and they were unable to unleash their monarch level strength.
The reason why Uncle Qin and uncle Tong ended up in such a state today was to protect her mother. If it were not for them, perhaps she would not have been born into this world. How could Ling Chuxi watch them be humiliated without doing anything?
