"What's going on?"
Li Tianjiao's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the approaching youth in sportswear!
This youth looked exactly like Ling Feng!
"Holy crap, is this your twin, Ling Tianci?"
Li Tianjiao excitedly clapped Ling Feng on the shoulder.
Ling Feng, however, unceremoniously slapped him on the mouth and then walked step by step towards the youth in sportswear.
"I am Ling Jun."
The youth in sportswear appeared very taciturn. He stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce himself to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng's pupils contracted sharply.
Ling Jun!
He was still swaddled when Ling Feng had left!
He was a full six years younger than Ling Feng!
His elder brother had said before that the Ling family would not be ruthless towards Xiao Jun.
He had also said that Xiao Jun would not have a good life in the Ling family, and they would bring Xiao Jun out when they grew up.
But eighteen years had passed in the blink of an eye!
The Ling Jun before him had grown from an infant into a youth.
This was Ling Feng's brother!
The youngest of the three Ling brothers, and the only one left in the Jiangbei Ling family!
"I am Ling Feng."
Ling Feng tried his best to control his emotions. The feeling of blood connection could not be faked!
"Second Brother, I've been entrusted by the family to cast the net!"
Ling Jun's words were still few, but he called Ling Feng "Second Brother."
Ling Feng's heart trembled. He still had relatives left in the world, and they were right before him.
No matter how hateful the Jiangbei Ling family was, how could Ling Feng hate Ling Jun before him?
He was the most innocent.
"Xiao Ran, did you save her?"
Ling Feng was still very concerned about Ling Xiao Ran.
Ling Jun nodded.
"She was controlled by someone, and I happened to come across it."
With that, Ling Jun returned Ling Xiao Ran to Ling Feng's hands.
Ling Feng looked deeply at Ling Jun. This third brother's personality was somewhat similar to his own; he was also the most quiet when he was this age.
"You said cast the net just now? What does that mean?"
Ling Jun did not answer Ling Feng's question. Instead, he took out an envelope and handed it to Ling Feng.
"After you read it, Second Brother will understand!"
Ling Feng looked at the envelope in Ling Jun's hand. After much hesitation, he reached out his hand!
His hand was steady, but his heart was trembling!
Subconsciously, Ling Feng had a premonition that after reading this letter, the mystery of why he was driven out of the Ling family back then would be completely solved!
Indeed, as soon as he scanned it, Ling Feng's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Li Tianjiao quickly snatched Ling Xiao Ran from Ling Feng's embrace.
The Jiangbei Ling family!
Possessed a very powerful force, a force that had appeared once seventy years ago!
It was precisely because of Ling Feng's grandfather, the mysterious general who had appeared back then, that the Great Hua Nation was able to establish itself among the powers!
The mysterious general who defeated the combined might of eight countries.
Since then, this mysterious general had disappeared.
However, the defeated enemy nations had not given up their investigation into this general.
It was from that time that Nalan Xing, who had now reached the position of Elder Council Inspector, had his grandfather become a major spy who infiltrated the Great Hua Nation!
His grandfather had investigated the Jiangbei Ling family back then.
But before he could reveal any information, he was killed by members of the Ling family!
And Nalan Xing's father had his identity exposed before he could even investigate the Ling family.
Only Nalan Xing successfully rose to the position of Elder Council Inspector, and even through the King of Zhenbei, Ling Feng!
Step by step, he found the Jiangbei Ling family!
Recently, Nalan Xing had lost a crucial target within the Ling Feng villa in Hanjiang City, Jiangbei Province!
Subsequently, Nalan Xing launched an operation to surround and attack the Ling family!
Unfortunately, the Elder Council had discovered this matter one step ahead.
Therefore, Nalan Xing's encirclement operation, which erupted at dawn today, failed!
The Jiangbei Ling family was completely destroyed, but it was merely a luxurious residence, and there was not a single member of the Ling family inside.
The Jiangbei Ling family had already relocated without a trace!
...
Seeing this, Ling Feng had understood almost everything.
Finally, Ling Feng clenched the letter he had finished reading.
"So, back then, when my elder brother and I were driven out of the Ling family, it was because the family's bloodline test results indicated that we met the conditions for awakening the Ling Tian Blood Flame power?"
Ling Jun nodded, then shook his head.
"Only you met the conditions, but you were only six years old and did not have the ability to survive!"
"The clan members concealed your existence to the greatest extent possible, and could not take care of you excessively. Therefore, Elder Brother had to be driven out of the family with you!"
This was the longest sentence Ling Jun had spoken since arriving.
However, listening to Ling Jun's explanation, Ling Feng's eyes were filled with indifference.
This was because Ling Jun's words were devoid of any emotion, as if he were explaining someone else's matter.
Yes!
They, brothers, had not lived together after all.
"Heh, so that's how it is. Protecting us? Everything was planned from Grandpa's generation, all to wait for the Great Hua Nation to develop and seize the opportunity to eliminate all these enemy spies! Yet I still became the target Nalan Xing wanted to capture!"
A wry smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips.
He was the invincible King of Zhenbei, skilled in military strategy and adept at planning, always in control of the situation.
He never expected that his ancestors, the elders of his Ling family, were even more calculating than him, Ling Feng, having started planning everything seventy years ago, before Ling Feng was even born!
Ling Jun frowned slightly and nodded, saying, "I know, this is cruel!"
"No, it's not cruel. I know it's the right thing to do! However, the Ling family owes Elder Brother too much!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath. As his resentment towards the Ling family lessened, his heart was filled only with guilt towards his elder brother, Ling Yan!
Ling Jun, however, displayed maturity and composure beyond his years.
"If this is destiny, we have no choice!"
Ling Feng sneered, "Heh, your destiny is to be responsible for coming here to cast the net?"
Ling Jun shook his head, "No, only you, Second Brother, have the ability to cast the net. I am here to save Elder Brother!"
Ling Feng's eyes lit up, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face, "Oh? How will you save him?"
Ling Jun leaned close to Ling Feng's ear. It was the first time the brothers had been so intimate in their lives.
"Just like saving Xiao Ran, no one can use our Ling family's bloodline power!"
Ling Feng heard this and took a deep breath. The resolute tone of this younger brother was not simple!
"Alright, then let's start casting the net!"
As Ling Feng's words fell, he waved his hand behind him.
"Coming!"
A youth's voice emerged, his voice low, clearly in the midst of puberty!
The youth held a bone whip in his hand!
Around his neck was a yin-yang fish pendant. This person was the Corpse Gu Divine Infant!
Not long ago, Ling Feng had sensed his awakening.
