Supreme Golden Eyes - Chapter 640 Black Hand

After the introduction, the family chatted for a while, and the elders kept asking questions about Ling Shaonan's current relatives and friends, hoping to learn more about his living conditions.The young people are more concerned about Ling Shaonan's strength. Whether it is the calm Ling Yanzong, the shrewd and capable Ling Yanting, or even the dignified and elegant Ling Yanyun, they are all very interested in Ling Shaonan's strength and ask him for advice on martial arts from time to time, especially It is Ling Yanxun who is the youngest, and he has been pestering Ling Shaonan to teach him, just like a coquettish child.

In this atmosphere, what Ling Shaonan felt was kindness, without the intrigue in the big families he knew. It seemed that Ling Yanzong and the others were not worried about their status being threatened at all.However, Ling Shaonan didn't know that the Ling family was different from other families.In other families, whether it is a martial arts family or a wealthy family, the position of the head of the family is very lofty. Whether it is in the family or outside, he is very beautiful and enjoys huge power and benefits. Naturally, he will attract people who are qualified to compete for that position. people are crazy about it.

But in the Ling family, because of the secluded relationship, the patriarch did not have a good reputation in front of others, so the attractiveness was greatly reduced at first.Secondly, within the Ling family, the head of the family does not have any special powers, and is not much different from the children of other families, which makes the throne not much different from ordinary chairs.Moreover, once it was time to be born, the Patriarch of the Ling family had always been at the forefront, even leading the charge, and he had to endure greater danger and pressure than anyone else.Coupled with the ancestral precepts and family rules passed down from ancient times by the Ling family, there has never been a tragedy of fratricide for more than a thousand years in order to compete for the position of Patriarch.

Taking a step back, even if the Patriarch of the Ling family is really so attractive, because of the strict education of the Ling family for their children and the deep affection between Ling Yanzong and the others, it is unlikely that there will be a brother-in-law relationship between them.

Because of this, the Ling family is also different from other sect families in terms of the alternation of patriarchs.In other sect families, the patriarch or head of the sect is generally a first-rate master, and those who are above the grandmaster are all looking for a place to cultivate, and don't pay much attention to the worldly affairs.But the Ling family is different. Because the head of the Ling family doesn't have too many complicated affairs to deal with, it will not have any impact on cultivation. The time of the head of the Ling family will be much longer. For example, Ling Zhongze, who is already at the peak of the master. It has been nearly 30 years since he became the Patriarch of the Ling family. Unless he wants to pass on the position of Patriarch himself, it is very likely that he will not change the Patriarch until his death.

After chatting for a while, Ling Shaonan glanced lightly at Su Ming and his daughter who were sitting beside him, and frowned slightly.The father and daughter have not spoken since they came here, but from the corner of Ling Shaonan's eyes, he noticed that following his conversation with his grandfather Ling Zhongze, Su Huan did not feel angry at being left out, but the expression on his face was very Relaxed, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and the eyes he looked at him from time to time were full of strangeness, which made Ling Shaonan feel a little uncomfortable all over.

What's happening here?Su Huan's abnormal performance made Ling Shaonan very depressed. At that moment, he wanted to remind his grandfather not to neglect the guests, and at the same time divert Su Huan's attention away from himself.However, before Ling Shaonan could speak, there was a deep knock on the door, blocking what he wanted to say.

"Come in!" The knock on the door made Ling Zhongze frowned slightly. Although he hadn't said before that no one would be disturbed, anyone with a keen eye could see that they must have something important to do here. Who would Come to bother me?

"I've met the Patriarch! I've met the Supreme Elder!" The person who came in was an old man in his early 50s. His hair was a little gray, but his back was straight and his face was ruddy. It is easy to feel good at a glance.After entering, the old man first bowed to Ling Zhongze and Ling Qiyan, then nodded to Ling Yunxiao and Ling Yunhao respectively, and then set his eyes on Ling Shaonan, took a deep look, his eyes showed excitement, But he didn't show it, but was suppressed by him.

Seeing this person, Ling Shaonan twitched his brows slightly, not only because of the look he gave, but also because of the strength of this old man dressed as a housekeeper——from the fluctuations of true energy faintly emanating from his body. Look, he is actually a master in the middle stage of the master, and he is at the same level as his uncle Ling Yunxiao!The heritage of the Ling family is really deep, even the housekeeper is a master of martial arts, this kind of strength is enough to become the pillar of a second-rate sect or family in the martial arts world.

"Ling Zhong, what's the important thing?" Seeing this old man, the unhappiness in Ling Zhongze's eyes dissipated instantly. Ling Zhong was raised by him, and he was no different from his own child in his heart. Knowing each other very well, if there is no important matter, Ling Zhong will never rush to disturb him.

"Going home, there is one thing that needs to be reported." At this point, Ling Zhong paused for a moment before saying: "The identities of the two who led the way for the previous warriors have been identified, and they are members of the Song family in Lingnan!"

"Song Family in Lingnan?" Ling Zhongze's eyes were fixed, and a pair of thick eyebrows couldn't help but stand up: "Can you confirm?"

"It can be confirmed!" Ling Zhong's voice was very sure: "Last year, several children of the family went out for training, and they had conflicts with members of the Song family in the south. According to their identification, one of those two people was in the Song family at that time. , and judging from the martial arts of these two people, there is nothing wrong!"

"The Song family!" Ling Zhongze was furious, and couldn't help but slapped the armrest of the chair fiercely, smashing half of a high-quality yellow rosewood chair: "With the development of a hundred years, the tail It's going to the sky, do you really think my Ling family is easy to bully?!"

On the side, Ling Qiyan's face also changed instantly, his eyes widened, and a cold and stern aura slowly emanated from his body, causing the temperature in the already shady mountainside stone room to suddenly drop a bit.

"Lingnan Song Family?" Hearing this name, Ling Shaonan frowned slightly, and repeated in a soft voice.Ling Shaonan is no stranger to this family. From the reports sent by the group's subordinates, he knows that there are some cooperation projects between Lingtian Investment Group and Song Group, and there are also competitions in many fields, which can be said to be deeply entangled.Moreover, Ling Shaonan, the successor of the Song family, Song Feifan, had met twice, once at the martial arts conference at the end of last year, and the other time was in the capital half a year ago. He also asked if some measures should be taken, but Ling Shaonan rejected it.

"Yanzhen, do you know the Song family?" Slightly controlling the anger in his heart, Ling Zhongze couldn't help asking when he heard Ling Shaonan's whisper.

"My company has some business dealings with the Song Group, and I have met Song Feifei, the heir of the Song Family, twice. Strictly speaking, although my relationship with the Song Group is not an enemy, it is absolutely Not friendly. Of course, that was in the past, since they are now inviting wolves into the house, if they want to harm our Ling family, they are courting their own death." Ling Shaonan's tone was very flat, but the cold light that flashed deep in his eyes showed his mood It is by no means as calm as it says in the mouth.The relatives who had been separated for 20 years, when they met again, it turned out that the Song family wanted to treat them badly, and even put them to death. Accept calmly.

Nodding his head, taking a deep breath, Ling Zhongze first nodded slightly to Su Ming, and then said: "I was just talking about the daily life today, and I planned to tell you about it in two days, but now that it happened Now that this matter is over, let's just talk about it together, please Patriarch Su don't take offense at this point!"

"Uncle Ling, you are being polite! This is the purpose of my nephew's visit to the Ling family this time. Now that the virtuous nephew Yanzhen has returned to the clan to recognize his ancestors, and the Song family has done this kind of thing that both people and gods are angry with, my nephew thinks that we should still pay attention to this matter." We need to reconsider!" Having said this, the corners of Su Ming's mouth could not help but curl up, as if he had taken a huge advantage, and he was indescribably satisfied.

The conversation between Ling Zhongze and Su Ming made Ling Shaonan confused and unclear, so the only useful information he got was that the relationship between the Ling family and the Su family was indeed very close, and what was going to be discussed next should be a private matter. It can be seen from the address between him and Su Ming.

"That's good! Since nephew Su Xian said so, the old man will say it straight. However, Yanzhen has been living outside these years, and some things are not clear, so I have to explain to him first..."

Hearing Ling Zhongze's next words, Ling Shaonan was dumbfounded, and the brows twitched uncontrollably.It wasn't that his psychological quality was too bad, it was that what the two of them said was beyond his expectation, he never thought that such a thing would happen to him one day.

The Su family is also a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Although the family background is not as prominent as the Ling family of royal nobles, the ancestors were also a famous military family in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but gradually lost their luster with the chaos of the world. The inheritance has never been broken.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the Lingsu and Su families have been dealing with each other slowly, and the relationship has been very good for thousands of years.Especially the old man Ling Zhongze and Su Ming's father, the two formed a deep friendship decades ago during the war years, and they can be called irreversible friends.

Twenty years ago, Mr. Su successfully broke through to the realm of martial arts master, stepped down as the Patriarch of the Su family, and handed him over to his son Su Ming. As brothers who have known each other for decades, Mr. Ling naturally went to congratulate him in person.At that time, both Ling Shaonan's mother and Su Ming's wife were pregnant, and the two old men, who were in a good mood, had a sudden whim and made a baby marriage for the two unborn children.

Originally, the marriage of the two families was beneficial to both parties, and it would further their already close relationship.But God failed, and less than a year after the marriage was set, Ling Yunyao and his wife were killed by Japanese warriors, and the child who was only a few months old was also missing. , the results are like disappearing into the sea, and no clues have been found.

If one party disappears, this marriage contract naturally has no basis for sustaining it.The Ling family did not embarrass the Su family in this matter. Although they still did not give up after searching for nothing for a long time, they also knew that the hope of finding Ling Yan was getting slimmer and slimmer. So, a few years later, Ling Zhongze went to Chang'an in person again. A trip to meet Mr. Su, hoping to dissolve the engagement, so as not to delay Su Yan's life.

But this time, Mr. Su is not willing. He is a very conservative person, and he has the strong character of the people of the old era. If it is serious, he is stubborn. If he is more serious, he is deeply poisoned by feudal ideology. .According to him, since Su Yan was promised to the Ling family, she is a member of the Ling family. Regardless of whether Ling Yan is dead or alive, she is the daughter-in-law of the Ling family. family grave.

He also has a deep understanding of this old brother's stubborn Ling Zhongze, but the more this is the case, the more he can't agree, otherwise it will not only harm Su Yan's life, but also the friendship between the Lingsu family will also cast a shadow from it.In the end, after he talked all kinds of things, Mr. Su finally let go: Su Yan waited for Ling Yanzhen for 20 years, and if Ling Yanzhen was found before she was 20 years old, the marriage contract would remain the same, otherwise, let it go, and treat it as if it never happened.This can be regarded as a result that both parties can accept. No one will bear the notoriety of "treachery", and they will be able to live with their faces.

If there are no twists and turns along the way, this marriage contract that was made half-jokingly back then will become a thing of the past, and Su Yan will be [-] years old in a short time. When she regains her freedom, how will she deal with the major events in her life? The choice is all about the Su family and has nothing to do with the Ling family.But just in the last period of time, something happened, which made things turbulent. At the end of last year, Su Huan went to Bajimen to participate in the martial arts conference. As his only daughter, Su Yan was also taken by him. One is to relax, and the other is to see the world.But I don't want to, just at that martial arts conference, Song Feifan, the young master of the Song family in Lingnan, met Su Yan face to face from a distance, and the root of the disaster was planted.

After that meeting, Song Feifei took it seriously, and after returning home, he mentioned this matter to his father, Song Cheng, the Patriarch of the Song family, and wanted to propose marriage to the Su family.With the rapid development in the past hundred years, the Song family is now one of the most famous martial arts families in China, but the inheritance time is less than 200 years, and the foundation seems a bit weak. Although no one said it to the face, it is often regarded as an outbreak behind the scenes. From the perspective of the household, this has always been a pain in Song Cheng's heart. After hearing Song Feifei mentioning this matter, he immediately moved his mind: The Su family is also a big family that has lasted for thousands of years. The Song family is an upstart!

With this in mind, Song Cheng fully supported his son, and soon took Song Feifei to Chang'an to propose marriage.But at that time, Su Yan was still a year away from turning 20. Naturally, the Su family would not agree. "Shirk the past.

Over the years, the Song family has developed rapidly relying on the geographical advantage of being located in the southern coast of China, and the family power has expanded rapidly. Song Feifei has been going smoothly since he was a child, and has long developed a stubborn temperament. He has never been unable to get what he wants. The Su family rejected his marriage proposal, and his temper was absolutely unbearable. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, since then he began to think about revenge, and came up with an idea: Didn't you say that Su Yan has a marriage contract? Are you here?It's easy!I ruined the people who were married to him and their entire family, let's see what excuses you have!

Although the Ling family has avoided the world, it has been passed down for more than 1000 years after all. It is no secret that the family's residence is in the country, and the major sects and families all know them to some extent.It's just that they have no direct conflict of interest with the Ling family, and the faction that has been passed down for a long time has a lot of admiration for what the Ling family has done over the years. Coupled with the strength of the Ling family, no one will take the initiative to trouble them .But the Song family can't control so much. They lack a stepping stone to enter the real upper class circle. After being rejected by the Su family, after a little investigation, they chose the Ling family as their target.

Just at this time, the Fuji consortium, which has cooperated with them a lot, came to the door, and the two hit it off, and then they came up with a plan to drive away tigers and wolves and kill people with knives, and personally drove them to Ling's house to show respect. On Su Yan's 20th birthday a month later, Su Ming's father and daughter, who will announce the dissolution of the engagement to the Ling family, are also involved.If Ling Shaonan hadn't arrived in time, not only the Ling family, but also the father and daughter would have been doomed.
