Chapter 262 - Cousin Sister
Regarding the situation of the Yun Family's experts, the Ling Family higher-ups were very clear that there was only Yun Donghe who was half a step into the Gold Core realm, and his cultivation was even higher than Ling Yan's. If not for the Ling Family being suppressed all these years, Ling Yan's cultivation would not be any weaker than Yun Donghe's.
Thus, when Wang Hao previously mentioned that there were two half-step Golden Core Realm experts, the upper echelons of Ling Yan immediately went pale, as they faintly realized that the other person was from the Zheng Family.
These few years, the Zheng Family's support for the Yun Family had already changed from speaking in secret to sending people to support them. Although there were no Jindan cultivator's people, every year these people would be descendants of the Zheng Family, and they had half a step into the Aurous Core stage to protect them.
These descendents of the Zheng Family did not have much talent or cultivation, and they did not dare to compliment their character. On the surface, they acted like they were decent and polite, but in reality, they were just playboy, gentle scum.
Every time they came, the Ling Family would serve them fearfully, afraid that they would offend the Zheng Family and cause their entire family to be exterminated.
Back then, when the Misty Rain House only told the Zheng Family not to use Ling Qingxue's matter against the Ling Family, it did not mean that the Ling Family could ignore the Zheng Family.
When the people from the Zheng Family came, the Ling Family had always hidden the beautiful ladies that were mainly related to Ling Ling, but the good news did not last long, and they managed to fool them twice. But at the end of last year, when Zheng Xu came, and heard the Yun Family's description and praise of Ling Ling, they directly asked to see Ling Ling.
The Ling Family could do nothing about it, they could only allow Ling Ling to appear for a moment. Once he appeared, sure enough, Zheng Xu took a fancy to Ling Ling and declared that he would marry Ling Ling.
The Ling Family was powerless to refuse, and could only think of ways to delay Ling Ling, but Zheng Xu seemed to really like him, so there was no urgent need for him to do so.
After Zheng Xu left, the Ling Family originally wanted to send Ling Ling off. Regardless of whether it was to the sect or the County Palace, Ling Ling was unwilling.
If she went missing, Zheng Family would definitely make things difficult for the Ling Family. For the current Ling Family, this would definitely add fuel to the fire, and on the contrary, if she could make good use of Zheng Xu, it might even be able to turn the Ling Family around, and use Zheng Xu's power to suppress the Yun Family.
If he could save the Ling Family and restore their former state of affairs, even if he had to sacrifice himself to Zheng Xu, Ling Ling would not hesitate to do so.
At that time, Ling Yan and Ling Ling's parents naturally did not agree with him. Using Zheng Xu was undoubtedly playing with fire, and if Zheng Xu was a genius of the Zheng Family, it would have been alright, but even if Ling Ling disliked him, in terms of status, he would not have wronged Ling Ling.
The Great Clan Elder had even taken Ling Qingxue as an example, praising him for having a general view of the situation, and letting Patriarch Ling Yan focus on the overall situation.
As for the opinions of Ling Ling's parents, they were immediately disregarded.
In the end, under Ling Ling's own perseverance, she didn't go anywhere else.
Now that half a year had passed, thinking about another person coming from the Zheng Family, how could the Ling Family higher ups not be nervous. Whether or not it was Zheng Xu, even if it was, would Zheng Xu still like Ling Ling the way he did last year?
Would they support the Ling Family and suppress the Yun Family for Ling Ling?
However, even if Ling Ling sacrificed her own happiness and was toyed with, the Ling Family's disadvantage could not be reversed.
The higher ups of the Ling Family did not wish for anyone from the Zheng Family to come, and in their hearts, they still held onto a sliver of hope. They thought that it was only the Yun Family coming to Wang Hao to denounce them for their crimes, and regarding this, the Ling Family was delighted to hear of it.
However, when the Ling Family Ancestor felt Zheng Xu's bodyguard's cultivation, the sliver of hope that the Ling Family's higher ups had was immediately destroyed. With a late stage half a step into the Aurous Core stage, this person was definitely not from the Yun Family, and right after, Zheng Xu's self-introduction, without a word, entered into the ears of the Ling Family's Ancestor.
The Ling Family Ancestor did not bother with things all year long, and did not know that Zheng Xu liked Ling Ling. After hesitating for a while, when he realized that Wang Hao and Zheng Xu had a conflict, he decisively appeared to persuade him.
Ling Yan's cultivation was only second to the Ling Family Ancestor, so he was one step too slow to sense anything, but after knowing that it was Zheng Xu, Ling Yan immediately let Ling Ling hide, while he himself brought everyone out, hoping to stop Zheng Xu and Wang Hao from fighting.
Although they were certain that Wang Hao was a genius of the sect, in front of the Zheng Family, there were still a few geniuses that could resist him.
Forget about the Zheng Family, just Zheng Xu's bodyguards were enough for Wang Hao to eat a pot of sh * t.
Wang Hao had done the Ling Family a favour no matter what, so Ling Yan could not sit still and do nothing.
But, no matter if it was the Ling Family Patriarch or Ling Yan, they never thought that Zheng Xu would not give them any face, and Ling Ling coming out without permission also made Ling Yan feel helpless. Seeing that the situation was already like this, he could only hope that Ling Ling would let Wang Hao go.
"Hehe, you seem to be quite concerned about her, and you don't even know who injured her. It seems that you've been fooled by the Yun Family."
At this time, Wang Hao turned his head and laughed coldly, his eyes full of contempt.
Hearing that, Zheng Xu frowned, revealing a suspicious look.
Yun Donghe, on the other hand, quivered in his heart as he felt a faint unease.
Wang Hao asked Zheng Xu, "Do you know why I crippled Yun Lin and asked the Yun Family to give me an explanation?"
"Isn't it just because Yun Lin offended you? Relying on your strength, you did not put the Yun Family in your eyes."
Zheng Xu slightly narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "You even dare to offend this young master, let alone the Yun Family!"
"Ha ha!" Wang Hao sneered, "You're right, but do you know how Yun Lin provoked me?"
"Well?" Zheng Xu raised his eyebrows and asked.
Wang Hao said coldly: "In broad daylight, that bastard Yun Lin molests my cousin, and his dog paws have already touched a place that he shouldn't have touched. If I hadn't discovered and rushed over in time to help, my cousin might have …"
"Eh? Your cousin? "
Zheng Xu was slightly surprised, but did not think much of Yun Lin's actions.
This kind of thing, was something that he, Zheng Xu, did frequently. In his opinion, it wasn't wrong.
If he was mistaken, it was because Yun Lin did not clearly investigate the other party's identity and recklessly made her move. Offending someone she could not afford to offend, she naturally had to pay a painful price.
"Well, my cousin, can you guess who it is?"
"Are you sick!? How do I know who your cousin is? "
Zheng Xu replied unhappily, but just as he said that, he felt the jade hand trembling, Zheng Xu was startled, he suddenly turned and looked at Ling Ling, and asked anxiously:
"Ling'er, this brat couldn't be talking about you, right?"
At this moment, there was no need for Ling Ling to answer. Ling Ling's constantly trembling body and her embarrassed and furious expression was already enough to explain everything.
Wang Hao answered for Ling Ling, "Yes, Ling Ling is my cousin."
"Now you understand that you have been tricked by the Yun Family! If not for me, Yun Lin would have brought you such a huge green hat, yet you were still kept in the dark, played like a monkey by the Yun Family, and even wanted to stand up for the Yun Family, to make a move on my benefactor. What a joke, it's so laughable that it's unthinkable to laugh at.
Wang Hao unrestrainedly ridiculed, to the point where even Zheng Xu was stunned for a moment.
Yun Donghe was trembling from head to toe, if not for the fact that he had a deep cultivation base, he might have been scared out of his wits.
"Nonsense! Young Master Xu, don't fall for his scheme of sowing discord!"
Yun Donghe reacted rather quickly, and jumped out and shouted before Zheng Xu could react.
This matter must be explained clearly, if not, Yun Donghe did not dare imagine the consequences.
