Chapter 1462: Taking Action
“My father did that ostensibly for the family to see, to show his attitude as the head of the family.
But to some extent, that is also a protection for you. In other words, if he shows that he has forgiven you, it will not only threaten his position as the head of the family, but it will also be very dangerous to you!"
Ling Zhengqing continued.
"Father……"
Ling Qianfan murmured, tears rolling down his cheeks.
All of a sudden, all the resentment that had built up over the years was resolved, but it only served to increase the guilt she felt.
Xiao Yi listened at the side, his expression changing. As expected, the love of parents is pitiful. Sometimes a father's love is deep enough and difficult to describe...
"Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier and come to me earlier?"
Ling Qianfan choked up and completely understood his father's good intentions.
"Father...won't let me."
Ling Zhengqing sighed.
"If you had come back earlier, you wouldn't have been able to see your father at all, and you would have been kicked out by the Ling family."
Hearing this, Ling Qianfan's expression became even uglier.
Then, there was silence...
Ling Zhengqing checked the time, then looked at Xiao Yi: "Let's go."
"it is good."
Xiao Yi nodded. He wanted to comfort Ling Qianfan, but he didn't know how to start.
He placed one hand on Ling Qianfan's shoulder, patted him gently, then followed Ling Zhengqing out.
Ling Qianfan sat there blankly, with a few tears falling silently...
On the other side, Xiao Yi changed into the clothes of the Ling family guards to avoid some trouble, and soon followed Ling Zhengqing into the backyard.
After the people waiting in the room left, he entered the bedroom and saw Ling Chengtai lying unconscious on the bed.
"This……"
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed. Ling Chengtai's entire condition really surprised him.
He directed his spiritual sense towards Ling Chengtai, who exuded a sense of death from the inside out, as well as a sense of decadence. This was clearly the result of failing to break through and suffering backlash.
"Senior, please show me the prescription first."
Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Ling Zhengqing.
"it is good!"
Ling Zhengqing responded and quickly found the prescription and handed it to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi looked at each medicine one by one, trying to identify them carefully.
"This... I'm afraid it can only delay the situation, and it's hard to have any practical effect."
After a while, Xiao Yi made a judgment.
"I've consulted many doctors, and they all came to the same conclusion. There's nothing I can do..."
Ling Zhengqing whispered.
Xiao Yi nodded slightly, said no more, sat in front of the bed, and placed his right middle index finger on Ling Chengtai's pulse.
Ling Zhengqing watched from the side and his breathing slowed down a lot.
Xiao Yi touched it for nearly ten minutes, his expression constantly changing. He wanted to use his true Qi, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea for the time being.
Then he put Ling Chengtai's skinny arm back into the quilt.
Ling Zhengqing, who was standing aside, looked at Xiao Yi without any emotion.
Even though Xiao Yi has superb medical skills, that is only useful outside the Kunlun Realm. It would be difficult for him to do anything here.
"I want to... give it a try!"
Finally, Xiao Yi looked at Ling Zhengqing and made a decision.
In fact, just as Ling Zhengqing and his sister were worried about, this matter was indeed very troublesome. If it was not handled properly, not only would Ling Chengtai not be cured, but even he himself would be implicated.
Being injured is a minor matter. If your cultivation foundation is damaged and it affects your future cultivation and breakthrough, then that would be really troublesome.
Therefore, this was a decision he made after careful consideration.
"Xiao Yi, even if there is hope, Qian Fan and I will not agree to you taking risks."
Ling Zhengqing shook his head. He didn't expect Xiao Yi to insist.
"I'm not someone who normally puts myself in danger."
Xiao Yi spoke.
"To be honest, I'm not completely sure, but as the senior said, there is still hope."
"But……"
Ling Zhengqing frowned.
"I do this only for Sister Ling."
Xiao Yi interrupted.
"I don't know about others, but you brothers and sisters should hope that the old man will recover, right?"
"Of course!"
Ling Zhengqing did not hesitate.
"To be honest, the Ling family is also undercurrent right now. If father really... relies on me alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to quell the next dispute."
"In that case, let me give it a try. I will bear the consequences myself. As for the old man..."
Xiao Yi didn't dare to make a 100% guarantee.
If something goes wrong during the treatment, given the old man's physical condition, there may indeed be a great risk.
What if the old man could have lived for three to five days, but if something happened because of his actions, it would indeed be troublesome.
"This……"
Ling Zhengqing was a little hesitant, he had the same concerns as Xiao Yi.
Although he is qualified to decide some things as the future head of the family and the eldest son, he still has to consider the consequences.
Apart from anything else, if something really goes wrong, Xiao Yi’s safety cannot be guaranteed!
In addition, other members of the Ling family will definitely take advantage of this to make a big fuss, and he may even lose his position as the head of the family.
"There are risks, and even you brothers and sisters will have to bear them with me."
Xiao Yi said slowly.
"As an outsider, you are not afraid, so why should I be afraid? You know, Qian Fan and I are worried about you. You are only in your twenties and you still have a long way to go in the future.
If something really happens, how are we going to face you?"
Ling Zhengqing was somewhat moved.
"No, since there is hope, I will not stand idly by, as long as... you and your sister agree."
Xiao Yi shook his head firmly.
"I……"
Ling Zhengqing hesitated for a moment and made a decision.
"Okay then, I'll go find Qian Fan in a bit."
"Well, there's no need to talk to her about what we have to say. Her current condition is very bad. I will go back to practice in a while."
Xiao Yi thought about it and gave a reminder.
"I just want to help Sister Ling make up for some things, and I also want her to return to the Ling family."
"I see."
Ling Zhengqing responded, feeling very emotional.
Then, his eyes returned to his father.
"If... my father really falls this time, then the Ling family that he has supported for many years will probably fall from grace."
Ling Zhengqing spoke slowly.
"Speaking of which, the Ling family's status declined during our grandfather's generation. After my father became the head of the family, he tried his best to maintain the situation. But if we want to stand firm, we need a marriage alliance..."
Xiao Yi listened quietly and understood some of the things that happened back then.
“After Qian Fan escaped from marriage, the Ling family paid a heavy price. My father had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere. This allowed the Ling family to overcome the difficulties and prevent them from falling into second-rate status.
In fact, the second-rate families here will not exist for long at all, and will be completely devoured by others."
Ling Zhengqing continued.
“So, in Kunlun Realm, there are only first-rate families and super families, and the same is true for sects.”
"That's it."
Xiao Yi understood and nodded. It seemed that this was the true law of the jungle.
“That’s why I said that if the old man falls, no matter if I or the second son is the head of the family, the Ling family may become a second-rate family. That would be really troublesome…”
Ling Zhengqing's face changed.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned. Judging from the implication, there seems to be something else going on here.
However, at this moment, he didn't want to ask any details.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Xiao Yi temporarily left the bedroom and went back to his room.
