Listening to the noisy chatter, Ling Siwen frowned and slapped the table. "Enough! There's no need to discuss expelling someone from the family. Otherwise, whoever suggests it can just roll out of the Ling Family themselves!"
Ling Mo Xie smiled lightly, observing the behavior of those in the hall with a mocking heart. Today, I have no power to resist; I can only let you decide how to deal with me. When I possess absolute strength in the future, I will make you all experience the suffering you have inflicted on me tenfold or a hundredfold!
"What do you suggest we do?" Ling Mo Xie's third uncle, Ling Junqing, looked at Ling Siwen and said, "You must be fair!"
Ling Siwen glanced at him and snorted coldly. "So you think I'm unfair? Do you want to take on the role of family head?"
"Father, please forgive me; I spoke without thinking!" Ling Junqing hurriedly replied. Ling Siwen was not someone to be trifled with. If he thought his son coveted the position of family head, even as his biological son, he might find himself disappearing from this world without a trace!
"How about this? It's just a small third-tier family. I didn't want to punish Little Seven, but since you've all jointly petitioned, I can't lose my fairness. Let's punish Little Seven by sending him to Chengqi Valley for ten days!" Ling Siwen said in a deep voice, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
At this, all the Elders wore smiles on their faces. Chengqi Valley was a perilous place! For Ling Mo Xie in his awakening phase to go there—let alone living for ten days—just one day could mean being devoured by those Spirit Beasts until not even bones remained!
This was far more serious than being expelled from the family!
However, a doubt arose in the hearts of these Elders. Wasn't Ling Siwen previously unwilling to punish Ling Mo Xie? Why was this punishment harsher than they expected? Ling Mo Xie shared the same question in his heart; seeing the joyful expressions on those Elders' faces made it clear that Chengqi Valley was not a good place!
"Father?" The woman in the green dress was Ling Mo Xie's aunt, Ling Yuqing. Hearing Ling Siwen's words, she looked at him in shock.
Ling Siwen smiled but did not answer her. "Are you all satisfied with this punishment?"
"Satisfied! The decision made by the family head is naturally very fair! We are all convinced!" The Elders responded in unison with smiles on their faces, but inside they were thinking, Ah! The things that Third Young Master promised me will finally be within reach this time!
"Alright! Since you all think it's fair, you can disperse now! I will personally take him to Chengqi Valley!" Ling Siwen waved his hand and said.
However, the elders exchanged glances and refused to back down, saying, "Master, we will go with you! Haha! We'll go together!" Ling Siwen glanced at them, fully aware of their intentions. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly; he had no intention of hiding Ling Mo Xie as the elders thought.
Thus, Ling Siwen remained calm and said kindly, "In that case, let the Second Elder accompany me! You all don't need to go! My Qingyun Beast can't carry so many people!"
The Qingyun Beast was Ling Siwen's spirit beast, now a sixth-level spirit beast that had already formed a spirit pill, corresponding to the Golden Core Stage of cultivators!
At this point, the elders were even more puzzled. What exactly was Ling Siwen up to? No wonder he couldn't become the head of the family; he couldn't even fathom what others were thinking! With a sigh, the elders could only agree since they couldn't grasp Ling Siwen's intentions.
In the Ling family's beast-raising grounds, on the spacious field, a gigantic blue bird with a wingspan of thirty feet was crouched on the ground. Ling Siwen stood beside it with the silent Ling Mo Xie and the smug Second Elder. He waved goodbye to the other elders and said, "Alright! I will now take Ling Mo Xie to Chengqi Valley!" With that, he jumped onto the broad back of the Qingyun Beast and sat cross-legged.
Ling Chi and Ling Mo Xie followed suit and jumped onto the back of the Qingyun Beast.
"Ling Mo Xie!" A voice filled with tears called out. Ling Mo Xie turned to see Zhou Xinyi stumbling over!
"Xinyi? What are you doing here?" Ling Mo Xie stepped forward in confusion.
"Woohoo, I heard them say you were punished and had to go to some Chengqi Valley!" Zhou Xinyi looked at Ling Mo Xie with red eyes, no longer resembling the girl who always raised her fists vowing revenge for Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie gently brushed her hair aside and softly said, "Don't worry! It's just for a while; I'll be back!"
"Woohoo! You're lying to me! I heard them say that spirit beasts run rampant in Chengqi Valley! You're still in the Enlightenment Stage!" Zhou Xinyi bit her lip and replied.
Ling Mo Xie pulled her into his arms and said, "Don't you trust me? I promised I would come back, and I will!"
Zhou Xinyi stopped crying and looked up at Ling Mo Xie. He still had that carefree demeanor, as if everything was simple before him, as if anything could be accomplished. Just a promise to return, and she took it as his commitment!
Ling Mo Xie let go of Zhou Xinyi, wiped her tears, and turned to the Qingyun Beast, saying to the seated Ling Siwen, "Grandpa! I hope you can take good care of her for me!"
"Alright! But remember, love can make one weak!" Ling Siwen said with a frown.
"Hmph," Ling Mo Xie scoffed dismissively. The person saying this must be an old bachelor. However, since he still needed to ask Ling Siwen to look after Zhou Xinyi, he held back his objections and sat down in silence.
The Qingyun Beast was said to be a descendant of the Golden-Winged Great Peng from countless generations ago. Its flying speed was among the best among spirit beasts in the Spirit Pill stage. With a flap of its wings, it could cover thousands of meters. In just a moment, the three of them rode the Qingyun Beast to a vast and dense forest. Ling Siwen pointed to a sunken area in the distance and said, "That is Chengqi Valley! It used to be a training ground for Death Warriors established by my ancestors in the Ling family, but it has been abandoned now! However, it is said that a powerful spell was left behind by an elder there! Over the years, many descendants of the Ling family have gone exploring but found nothing."
Ling Chizhi listened to Ling Siwen's explanation to Ling Mo Xie and couldn't help but scoff in disdain. He had also searched for that legendary spell left by the elder back in the day but found not even a feather and nearly lost his life instead! If Ling Siwen was thinking along those lines, he would surely be disappointed!
Ling Mo Xie listened expressionlessly, gazing at the sunken area, lost in thoughts that no one could know.
At that moment, however, a voice rang in his ear: "You can go ahead and search for that spell without worry; I've already sent someone to protect you!"
Ling Mo Xie was startled and looked around but saw Ling Siwen nodding and smiling at him. He then turned to look at Ling Chizhi, who seemed oblivious to everything around him as he admired the scenery. It seemed like some kind of sound transmission technique!
