Chapter 54
Ling Maocai coughed a few times and said, "You all go out, I have something to say to Xingyuan alone."
Everyone went out, and only Ling Maocai and Ling Xingyuan were left in the room.The bitter smell of medicine lingers in the room.
"Xingyuan, let me take a good look at you." Ling Maocai's voice was weak.
Ling Xingyuan sat down by the bed and called "Father" in a low voice.
Ling Maocai looked at Ling Xingyuan with a pair of cloudy eyes.He looked at Ling Xingyuan for a long time before saying, "I lost weight."
Ling Xingyuan felt that his eyes were a little wet. It was obvious that Ling Maocai was dying of a serious illness, but Ling Maocai was still worried that he would lose weight.He held Ling Maocai's hand and said: "Father was wrong. I am no different from before, but my father has lost a lot."
Ling Maocai asked: "How are you doing in the Kunlun School? Is there any disadvantage? If it's not going well, it's okay to come back. I don't want you to honor your ancestors, I just want you to be happy and worry-free."
He was a child who had been spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. He had never been so far away, and he had never been away from him for so long.He was afraid that Ling Xingyuan would be wronged outside, so he kept it in his heart and didn't tell him.
Ling Xingyuan replied: "I am in the Kunlun School, whether it is the master or the brothers, they treat me very well."
Ling Maocai pulled out his hand, and patted the back of Ling Xingyuan's hand lightly, "It's good that you are living well, but you ask the gods, but no one will inherit my huge family business."
"Father has so many children, isn't it okay to choose one of them to inherit the family business?" Ling Xingyuan didn't care about Ling's family business, because this family business may be a fortune for mortals, but for a cultivator Not worth mentioning.
Ling Maocai sighed and said, "I have many children, but none of them are you. I have worked hard for most of my life for this family business, but who would have expected it to be nothing in the end."
He planned a lot for this child.Ever since Ling Xingyuan's biological mother passed away, his family had forced him to remarry. He made a lot of choices, and chose Pei Xiuwen, who had a weak personality, and drugged her to make her infertile.He was afraid that if Pei Xiuwen had a child of his own, he would develop dissatisfaction with Ling Xingyuan.And if he had another son, he might have to compete with Ling Xingyuan when he grows up.It's just that after thousands of calculations, Ling Xingyuan was favored by the immortal master and joined the Kunlun School.
This feeling of licking the calf made Ling Xingyuan have mixed feelings.He said: "I became a cultivator, wouldn't it be more glorious for my family, my father should be happy for me."
"Yes, I'm really happy to be my father." He said he was happy, but Ling Maocai was in tears.
Ling Xingyuan took out a handkerchief and wiped away Ling Maocai's tears.
The two did not speak for a long time, looking at each other.
Ling Xingyuan said: "Who actually poisoned my father, does my father have any guesses?"
Ling Maocai said solemnly: "In my life, I have made many enemies, but I don't know who is the person who can get the strange poison that even the elixir of the celestial family can't cure."
"Father is right. I don't think this person is coming for you, but maybe for me." Ling Xingyuan lowered his face.
Ling Maocai heard that this person might be targeting Ling Xingyuan, so he was anxious, "This person actually wants to harm you?"
Ling Xingyuan comforted: "Father, don't worry. If he wants to harm me, he can just attack me directly. If he wants to attack you, he is asking me for something, and he won't kill me."
But he didn't think so in his heart, because in the world of cultivation, there are countless things about killing people and seizing treasures.Taking away treasures and then killing people to avoid future troubles, this kind of thing happens every day.
Ling Maocai asked, "What is there about you that makes people jealous?"
Ling Xingyuan smiled bitterly: "Too many."
He harbors too many secrets and possesses too many treasures.If any cultivator robs him, he won't have to worry about it for the rest of his life.Of course, this person must also be prepared to be hunted down by the Kunlun faction.
Ling Maocai sighed and said, "A man is not guilty, but pregnant is guilty."
Ling Xingyuan tucked the quilt up for Ling Maocai, "Father, rest well, don't worry about the poisoning, I will definitely find the antidote."
Ling Maocai felt a little tired after talking for so long.He said "hmm" and closed his eyes.
He heard footsteps and the sound of the door being opened and closed, and knew that Ling Xingyuan had gone out.
He remembered that when Ling Xingyuan was born, it was a small soft ball that seemed to break apart with a little force.Ling Xingyuan grew up a little bit, he was a villain made of snow, with a baby voice, and a serious face, which made people feel as if their hearts were about to melt.In the blink of an eye, Ling Xingyuan has grown into a young man who is facing the wind.And he was holding the baby outside the delivery room, as if it happened yesterday.
He has so many children, but he only dotes on this child, not just because Ling Xingyuan is his legitimate son.Ling Xingyuan is not his oldest child, nor is he the youngest child, but he is the only child whose heart is filled with soft emotions when he sees it.Love is such an unreasonable thing, when he became the father of this child, he seemed to be enveloped by love.
Now, someone wants to hurt this child through him, and he will never allow this to happen.
……
After Ling Xingyuan left the room, he planned to go back to his own room, but he met a man on the way—his elder brother Ling Lecheng.
Ling Lecheng's appearance is somewhat similar to Ling Maocai's, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with sharp edges and corners, but unlike Ling Maocai's calm and prestige, his temperament is more peaceful.He called out: "Xingyuan."
Ling Xingyuan stopped in his tracks, "Brother."
The relationship between him and Ling Lecheng can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad either.Although Ling Lecheng tried his best to be a good brother, he couldn't really develop brotherly feelings towards Ling Lecheng.
Ling Lecheng asked, "Father...how is it?"
Ling Xingyuan wondered: "Don't you know about your father?"
"Since my father got sick, he hasn't seen anyone except his mother. If I want to serve the decoction, I won't allow it." Ling Lecheng looked downcast.
"Father's illness...is very serious, but it may not turn around." For a while, Ling Xingyuan hadn't thought about how to detoxify.But since the people in the dark have something to ask for, they will find him sooner or later.
"I hope father can recover." Ling Lecheng paused, "How long will Xingyuan come back this time, or will he stay forever?"
If someone asks, Ling Xingyuan will think that there are other plans, but he knows that his elder brother has become a dead-headed reader, "I came back this time because I received the news that my father was seriously ill. When the father's matter is resolved, I will still go back to Kunlun."
"It's a pity that I don't have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. If I can get rid of the secular world and live forever, how happy I am." Ling Lecheng showed an envious look.
Ling Xingyuan lowered his eyes and said: "The road to immortality is bumpy, maybe my elder brother thinks so well."
Ling Lecheng stared at Ling Xingyuan for a while, and said, "You must have encountered many things."
Ling Xingyuan asked: "Why do you see it?"
Ling Lecheng lowered his head and said, "Compared to before, you are a bit different."
Ling Xingyuan asked again: "How am I different?"
Ling Lecheng thought for a while and said, "I can't tell, but it's different anyway."
Ling Xingyuan also felt that he had changed a lot, but he didn't want to talk too much with Ling Lecheng, "Brother has nothing else to do, I'm going back to my room first. I just came back and want to take a rest."
"I have nothing else to do, Xingyuan can go to rest." Ling Lecheng watched Ling Xingyuan leave.
……
Ling Xingyuan finally returned to his room, but just as he sat down, there was a knock on the door.
He had no choice but to open the door, and Pei Xiuwen stood outside the door with a maid.
Pei Xiuwen gave Ling Xingyuan a timid look, "Xingyuan."
Ling Xingyuan asked: "Ma'am, what can you do?"
Although Pei Xiuwen is Ling Maocai's continuation, he doesn't call her mother, he just calls her madam.To him, they were just two people who had nothing to do with each other.Because of Ling Maocai, he can show her some respect.
Pei Xiuwen whispered: "I stewed chicken soup, Xingyuan can drink some."
"Okay." Ling Xingyuan sat down at the table.
The maid put the food box on the table, opened the lid, and took out a cup of chicken soup.
Pei Xiuwen sat down beside Ling Xingyuan, scooped up a bowl of chicken soup with her own hands, and handed it to Ling Xingyuan.
Ling Xingyuan picked up the spoon and took a sip. The chicken soup was delicious with a lot of ingredients, and it was cooked with care.He said, "Not bad."
After receiving such a compliment, Pei Xiuwen finally smiled, but when she remembered what was in her heart, the smile faded again.She asked: "Xingyuan, what did your father... say to you?"
Ling Xingyuan said perfunctorily, "I didn't say anything."
Pei Xiuwen lowered her head, "I know, I'm not your biological mother, you and I have never been close."
Ling Xingyuan was a little surprised, "Why did Madam say that?"
Pei Xiuwen forced a smile and said: "I'm in a daze, Xingyuan just pretend I didn't say what I just said."
Ling Xingyuan was silent for a while, and said: "Father and I just chatted about his illness and family business."
Pei Xiuwen looked at Ling Xingyuan and said: "Xingyuan has gone to cultivate immortality. I don't know who the master wants to inherit this family business. It would be great if Xingyuan had a child."
Ling Xingyuan said vaguely: "It depends on who father wants to inherit the family business."
Pei Xiuwen said cautiously: "My natal family has a niece who doesn't ask for any status..."
Ling Xingyuan interrupted Pei Xiuwen, "Ma'am, you are the one who lost your head when you said that."
He didn't expect that Pei Xiuwen, who was once a lady, would be so foolish that she wanted to give him her niece from her natal family to warm his bed so that he could have a baby.
Pei Xiuwen's face flushed red, "Xingyuan is used to seeing those fairies and empresses, so I think he doesn't like vulgar fans anymore."
"Ma'am, I'm tired, let's go." Ling Xingyuan gave the order to evict the guest.
Pei Xiuwen wanted to say something, but seeing Ling Xingyuan's face, she shut her mouth and left the room with the maid.
Ling Xingyuan felt a headache, what's the matter?He simply thought of nothing and lay down on the bed to sleep.
