3920 Who's backing who?



"Ling Zhongxiao, Who Do You Think You Are? you're just an orphan from a branch family, how much better can you be than me? If it wasn't for your father's good luck to be passed on to the great elder, do you think you would have your current status?

However, your good luck will end here. When my eunuch becomes the patriarch, a piece of trash like you who can't even reach the sovereign level will no longer have the qualifications to stay in the Zong family. You won't even be able to ask for cultivation resources!" Cai fangqing jumped up and down, cursing hysterically.

"Hmph," he snorted. Ling Zhongxiao snorted coldly and could not be bothered with her anymore. He walked straight inside.

Ling Huai Xin could tell that Ling Zhongxiao was truly angry and hesitated, not knowing if he should continue to stop him. After all, the third elder had not truly become the family head, and he was not a true descendant of the Ling family. He had only climbed to the position of the guard leader through nepotism, and used his power to threaten Ling Zhongxiao Xing. If he really wanted to make a move, he would still be a little hesitant. Compared to Ling Huai 'an, he was older, more thoughtful, and more cautious. He still knew when to let go and when to stop.

"Ling huaixin, are you a dead man? have you forgotten the orders of the third elder?" Cai fangqing shouted.

If Ling Zhongxiao had not said those words just now, she might have just mocked him with a few words and stopped him for a moment. After all, he could not do anything by himself. However, he had hit her sore spot and hurt her self-esteem. Cai fangqing was not convinced. 'You want to go in? I won't let you have your way!' Wasn't he just an orphan from a branch family? what was so great about him? the great elder had been traveling for so many years, who could support him?

"Fourth young master, if you dare to take another step closer, don't blame me for not showing mercy." Ling huaixin drew his sword. In the end, his current status was all thanks to Cai fangqing. He could ignore the words of others, but he could not ignore Cai fangqing.

In any case, the third elder's chances of obtaining the position of the family head were almost certain. What was the big deal about offending an orphan with no one to rely on? Ling huaixin threw caution to the wind.

"Ling huaixin, you dare!" Ling Zhongxiao's patience had reached its limit. With a furious roar, he drew out his long sword.

Cai fangqing sneered and waved her hand. A few guards appeared and drew their swords. They looked at Ling Zhongxiao with hostility. Obviously, these people were the confidants of the third elder, or rather, they were the confidants that Cai fangqing had bribed.

Both sides were at daggers drawn, and the atmosphere in the already quiet Ling family mansion became even heavier.

"Stop!" Ling Chuxi called out to Ling Zhongxiao.

The family head had also agreed to the third elder's order. If Ling Zhongxiao insisted on barging in, it would be equivalent to disobeying the family head's order. To put it more seriously, it would be equivalent to betraying the family. Ling Chuxi also knew now that Ling Zhongxiao's position in the Ling family was actually a little awkward. He could be said to be the direct descendant of the main family, but in reality, he was only a descendant of the branch family who was adopted by the first elder. He was also an orphan. However, the first elder had gone out to travel for many years and had not returned. If the matter was really blown up, it would be disadvantageous to him.

Ling Zhongxiao respected Ling Chuxi like a god. Although he was filled with anger, he still kept his sword. However, Meng Zheng and the others were afraid that he would be at a disadvantage, so they stepped forward and stood by his side to protect him. Others might not know of his relationship with Ling Chuxi, but Meng Zheng and the rest were naturally clear about it.

"Yo, I was wondering why you were so arrogant. So you've brought a helper back. But what kind of decent helper can you find with just you? do you think that I'll be afraid of you just because you rely on these few cats to support you?" Seeing Ling Zhongxiao put away his sword, Cai fangqing was even more assured and said with a sneer.
