Ling Clan - Main Hall
"Why did you suddenly come here, Ye'er?" Huo Lan asked surprised by her little sister's arrival along with Long Qiu.
Huo Ye looked at her big sister seriously before she bluntly asked her. "Why did you send Huo Yin to kill someone in the outside world?"
Huo Lan was surprised to hear her question, but she then answered her in a relaxed manner. "Hmm? What do you mean by that? I didn't send Huo Yin, I-."
"Hey, Huo Lan! You don't need to lie to us." Long Qiu interrupted her, causing Huo Lan to raise an eyebrow. "You have committed a grave mistake by sending an assassin to kill Ling Yun."
Huo Lan was shocked to hear Long Qiu's words, she didn't expect that she and her little sister would find out about her actions. "How-"
Huo Ye waved her hand, signaling her big sister not to argue anymore. "Big Sis, I know your disposition very well, and I know that you want to rule over the Ling Clan. Since you know that Ling Yun is Ling Xiao's son and that he is the only male descendant of this clan, you are afraid that he will take over the clan in the future. That's why you sent Huo Yin to kill him, right?"
Huo Lan slumped in her chair; even her expression turned ugly upon hearing her little sister's words, and she was speechless to reply to her.
Long Qiu sneered at her. "Are you tongue-tied now?"
"I advise you to go to the outside world and apologize to Ling Yun as soon as possible." Huo Ye spoke with a low sigh.
Even though she wasn't very close to her big sister, Huo Ye also didn't want anything bad to happen to her, especially since she knew for sure that Ling Yun could kill her easily with Ling Xi's help.
Huo Lan frowned at her little sister's words. As an elder in the Ling Clan, it would be impossible for her to do that.
Seeing her expression like that, Huo Ye asked Long Qiu to leave the Ling Clan as she spoke one last time. "I already advised you, but it's all up to you. Anyway, I'll tell you one last thing: Ling Yun is indeed too weak right now, but the people around him could crush the Ling and Huo Clans very easily."
After saying that, they quickly exited the main hall, leaving Huo Lan shocked by her little sister's words.

"It seems that she will not listen to your words." Long Qiu said.
Huo Ye nodded. "She's probably thinking about it now, but I'm not sure she'll take my advice."
"Let's go to the Feng Clan now, or else we won't get the beauty returning pill."
However, just as they were about to fly away from the Ling Clan, a woman suddenly called out to them. "Aunt Ye! Aunt Qiu! Wait a minute!"
They turned to her, and Huo Ye asked. "What's wrong, Yu'er?"
"Is that true, Aunt Ye? Did my mother send an assassin to kill my cousin?" Ling Yu'er asked as she walked over to them.
"I didn't expect that you like eavesdropping on people's conversations, Little Yu'er." Long Qiu said with a chuckle, causing Ling Yu'er to be embarrassed.
Huo Ye nodded to her niece. "That's true, Yu'er. Your mother was too greedy for power and wealth, and your cousin's presence threatened her position, so she wanted to kill him before he came here."
"I know that my mother is too greedy, but I didn't expect her to want to kill my cousin." Ling Yu'er herself knew her mother's character very well, but her actions completely shocked her, and she then asked. "Is it true that my cousin has strong people by her side?"
"The people beside him are very strong, Yu'er." It was Long Qiu who answered her. "Apart from Madam Feng, there is still one more strong person beside her, and she is much stronger than my father."
Ling Yu'er gasped in shock upon hearing that, and as a resident of the cultivator realm, she naturally knew of her father Long Qiu's strength.
Long Wei is the patriarch of the ancient Long Clan, and he is the second-most powerful person in the cultivator realm. But now, his daughter said that there was someone stronger than him on Ling Yun side, which made Ling Yu'er completely shocked.
In addition, Ling Yun also had Feng Ruxue by his side; even Long Wei didn't dare underestimate her because no one knew the depth of her strength, especially since she had never been directly involved in a fight.
Before long, Ling Yu'er took a deep breath. "I will tell my father about this matter, or this clan will be destroyed by my mother's actions."
"That's good; he might be able to force your mother to go see Ling Yun and apologize to him." After that, Huo Ye and Long Qiu immediately flew out of the Ling Clan, and Ling Yu'er went inside to find her father.
.

"Father." Ling Yu'er called out as she entered her father's room.
"Come here." Ling Jie patted the empty space beside him as he asked her. "Why did you suddenly come to see Father?"
Ling Yu'er sat beside him. "Father, I want to talk about a very important matter, and it relates to the survival of our clan."
"What do you mean by that, Yu'er? Has someone threatened our clan?" Ling Jie asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It was my mother who put our clan in danger." Ling Yu'er then explained to her father about the conversation between her mother and aunt, and she also told him about Long Qiu's words to her.
*Bam*
After his daughter finished telling him everything, Ling Jie pounded on his empty side, and his face darkened. "Your mother's actions are simply too outrageous! How dare she try to kill Yun'er! He is our clan's only male heir, and he will be the hope of this clan in the future!"
"Anyway, Aunt Ye and Aunt Qiu already advised my mother to go apologize to my cousin, but I'm sure she won't listen to their advice." Ling Yu'er said as she sighed heavily.
Ling Jie didn't immediately answer his daughter and spread his senses throughout the Ling Clan, but he immediately frowned because he couldn't find Huo Lan. "I couldn't find your mother in this clan, and I thought she had gone to the Huo Clan to ask her father for help."
"What should we do now, Father?" Ling Yu'er herself did not expect that her mother would be going to see her grandfather, and she felt that it would make their situation even more complicated later on.
"Currently, your grandfather is away somewhere far away, and I can't reach him." Ling Jie then thought for a while before speaking again. "I think it would be better for us to go to the outside world to meet Yun'er, and we will apologize to him on behalf of your mother."
"But if we both leave the clan, then who will watch over our clan?"
Ling Jie sighed softly and spoke to his daughter. "In that case, we should wait for your grandfather to return first, and we will discuss this matter with him first."
"What if I go to the outside world alone?"
"No!" Ling Jie refused his daughter's request. "Since you were born, you have never left the cultivator realm, so I won't let you go to the outside world alone."
"But father-"
Ling Jie shook his head and spoke again. "Moreover, we don't know Yun'er's true nature and character, so I won't let you go see him alone."
Ling Yu'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart; she was also aware that her father's words were indeed true. Although they were family, they didn't know each other, so they didn't know Ling Yun at all.
Moreover, the matter of her mother sending an assassin to kill Ling Yun was a big one, so Ling Yu'er felt that her father's concern for her safety was very reasonable. "All right, I understand, and we'll wait for Grandpa to come home first."
After that, Ling Yu'er returned to her room to cultivate, but her heart was filled with questions about Ling Yun.

Meanwhile, Yi Shu and Ling Yun were sitting together in the garden, watching the stars twinkle in the night sky.
Yi Shu herself was still in shock after she found out the number of women in Ling Yun's household, especially when she recognized Shui Lan.
"Why is that woman from the Shui Clan here, Yun'er?"
Ling Yun turned to her and explained everything to her, causing Yi Shu to be shocked; she didn't expect that Ye Jing was a mixed-breed from the Shui Clan.
Yi Shu then asked him again. "Have you eaten our grandmother?"
"Not yet." Ling Yun shook her head. "Like you, Grandma is still not ready to be my woman, so I won't force her."
"I see." Yi Shu nodded in understanding.
For quite a long time, they talked about many things until they felt sleepy, and they immediately returned to their room.
However, Ling Yun shook his head as he walked into his room because his mother and big sister were already waiting for him naked. Soon, they dual cultivated in turn, and they did so until both women were exhausted in his arms.
After that, Ling Yun activated the dream creation technique, and he brought two women into the dream space.
