Ling Xian was not a fool, although he was only a fourteen-year-old boy, those bumpy experiences had sharpened his mind more maturely, so he probably knew that the young lady Ling in front of him seemed to have a secret affection for him.
This is also normal, first of all, Ling Xian's appearance is not bad, and he looks stable and old, much more mature than his actual age, and he also saved Ling Tianxiang when she was most in danger and helpless, plus Ling Tianxiang didn't know him at that time, and he didn't know that the two were aunts and nephews in name, so Ling Tianxiang, who was in love for the first time, naturally had a secret affection for him.
It's just that the identities of the two, after all, are nominal aunts and nephews, which violates morality and ethics, so he can't accept it.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in family martial arts."
Ling Xian smiled faintly.
Ling Tianxiang's beautiful eyes showed a hint of disappointment, in fact, she herself couldn't tell the complicated feelings she had for Ling Xian, she just wanted to see him, she wanted to talk to him, she wanted to be with him.
Therefore, as soon as she heard the news of Ling Xian, she hurriedly ran over and invited him to participate in the competition and win the secret realm token, one was for Ling Xian's good, and the other was that she wanted to have a chance to be alone with Ling Xian out of her own selfishness.
However, now she was politely rejected by Ling Xian, which made her embarrassed and disappointed, and her heart that sprouted for the first time was also very painful.
"Since that's the case, then I won't be reluctant, you stepped forward the day before yesterday when I was in danger, I can't help but repay this kindness, in the evening in Songhe Tower, I invite you to dinner and chat to express your gratitude, how" Ling Tianxiang forcibly suppressed the pain in his heart and asked without giving up.
"No need, if you count it according to your generation, I still have to call you an aunt, my nephew saved my aunt, this is a matter of course, how can I be kind" Ling Xian sighed secretly, and deliberately bit the word aunt very hard.
"Okay then."
Ling Tianxiang's heart trembled, how could she not know that the identity of the two was that they were aunts and nephews, but they had been evading and didn't want to think about this problem, and at this moment, they were pointed out by Ling Xian, so she had to face this problem.
Sighing softly, her pretty face was full of gloom, she was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Three days later, the family competition will begin, if you change your mind, remember not to miss the time, it will really be of many benefits to you." ” Ling Xian nodded, signaling that he had written it down.
"Well, then I'll go first."
Ling Tianxiang smiled reluctantly, turned around and walked towards the door.
When you come, you are full of joy, and when you go, you are sad.
Ling Xian looked at her lonely back, shook his head, and sighed lightly: "Family martial arts, do you want to participate?"
The family competition is an annual activity of the Ling family, the top ten rewards are very rich, the younger generation of the whole clan can participate, some of the talented and good side children are to win the rich rewards of the ranking, but also to be valued by the family, and the descendants are to enjoy the admiration of others and be in the limelight.
And this year coincides with the opening of the Qingcheng Secret Realm, presumably there will be more people participating and the competition will be more intense.
After thinking about it, Ling Xian still decided not to participate, he already had the secret realm token, and he didn't plan to go out of the limelight, not to mention that with his current cultivation, he might not be able to win the first place, after all, he didn't have a cultivation technique, and he didn't know any spells, unless he was willing to expose the world in front of everyone.
"Brother" A thunderous voice disrupted Ling Xian's thoughts, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a bright smile.
In the entire Ling family, there is only one person who is willing to call him brother affectionately, and that is Ling Hu, who has grown up with him since he was a child, and has not alienated him at all because of his inability to cultivate, although the two are not related by blood, they are closer than brothers.
Pushing open the door, I saw a dark-skinned teenager standing outside the courtyard gate.
He had a resolute face and a strong body, and he looked like he was ten years old, but in fact, he was the same age as Ling Xian, just because his body was tall and strong, so he looked a lot older than Ling Xian.
"Come in, what are you polite to my house" Ling Xian looked at the only brother in front of him and smiled slightly.
"Hey, hey."
Ling Hu scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I just saw Miss Ling running out of your house crying, brother, is that rumor true?"
"When did you kid gossip like this" Ling Xian laughed and admonished: "Fake, don't tell others that she has been to me, remember?"
Ling Hu smiled, and there were three words of disbelief clearly written on his dark face, but as soon as he saw Ling Xian glaring at him, he immediately said, "Remember brother, hehe, I won't talk nonsense." ” Ling Xian nodded and said, "Come in, sit casually." ” "Brother, I heard that you can cultivate and defeat Ling Bai's arrogant guy and break the family's supreme secret canglang sword technique" As soon as he entered the room, Ling Hu casually found a chair to sit down, and asked impatiently "Well, what's the matter, your brother and I are amazing," Ling Xian smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Awesome, I know that the dragon and phoenix among the people will soar sooner or later" Hearing Ling Xian's reply, Ling Hu's honest face showed a sincere smile, and he was happy that Ling Xian was a blockbuster.
Ling Xian's heart warmed, thinking of Ling Hu and his mother's care for him over the years, his eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Huzi, thank you, thank you and your eldest mother for taking care of you for so many years, from today on, I, Ling Xian, will definitely repay you."
"Brother, what are you talking about, if you hadn't given my mother's family pension for treatment, then there would have been no my mother a long time ago, I should have said thank you to you, your great kindness to our family, I can't finish it in my life" Ling Hu's eyes were red, and his words were loud.
"Okay, let's not talk about this between our brothers, how is the eldest mother's condition lately" Ling Xian asked.
Hearing this, Ling Hu's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he drooped his head and said nothing.
"What the hell is going on, say it quickly" Ling Xian's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.
Ling Hu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Originally, my mother didn't let me tell you, for fear that you would worry, but my heart was uncomfortable.
My mother's condition is not very good, she is just a mortal, her body and bones are already weak, and the delay is too long, two days ago, the doctor came to see her, saying that she is terminally ill, and the medicine stone is ineffective. ” "Did the medicine stone work" Ling Xian's brows furrowed, his parents died when he was a child, and it was Ling Hu's mother who had always taken care of him and gave him a trace of family warmth.
It's just that Ling Huniang's health has never been good, and when he was seven years old, he suffered from a stubborn disease, and because there was no Lingshi at home to see a doctor, it has been delayed until now.
"yes, I didn't know what it meant at first, but then my mother told me that it meant that it was hopeless."
Ling Hu lowered his head and shed two lines of tears, his whole person was full of sadness.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
With a long sigh, Ling Xian was also full of sadness, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Huzi, don't be sad first, the eldest lady has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely get through this difficulty." ” "What else can be done" Although Ling Hu is only fourteen years old, he has always been strong and an iron-clad man, but now he can't help but burst into tears, his huge fist clenched, and he loosened it weakly, and muttered in despair: "Three years ago, the doctor said that if there is a rejuvenation pill, it can cure my mother's stubborn disease, in the past few years, I have worked hard to earn spirit stones, just want to buy a rejuvenation pill to cure my mother's illness, but until now, I have not saved enough spirit stones, and my mother is terminally ill, The Rejuvenation Pill didn't work either. ” "Pill" A flash of spiritual light, Ling Xian said happily: "Huzi, I think, maybe I have a way." ” "You have a way" As if the person who fell into the water had grasped the life-saving straw, Ling Hu raised his head suddenly, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his tearful eyes.
Ling Xian nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Yes, since three years ago, the doctor said that the Rejuvenation Pill was useful, then now, as long as there is a spirit pill with a better effect than the Rejuvenation Pill, then it will definitely be able to save the eldest lady." ” "That's right, brother, you're still smart, my head is just an ornament, it's too stupid."
Ling Hu slapped his head, stood up suddenly, and laughed.
But the next moment, he sat on the ground in despair, and said sadly: "There is a spirit pill that can cure my mother, and what kind of rejuvenation pill, I can't afford to buy a spirit stone that I have saved for three years, let alone a better spirit pill." ” His resolute face was full of helplessness, his former strength had all turned into weakness, and his sturdy body seemed to be weighed on by a thousand catties of weight, curled up in a ball weakly, holding his head in his hands, and repeatedly muttering words like no spirit stone and hateful in his mouth.

This is the sorrow of the poor.
In this world where even immortality could be achieved, it was a pity that a mortal's stubborn illness was nothing, Ling Hu did not have a spirit stone, and he could not afford to buy a life-saving elixir.
His talent is actually very good, but because of his mother's illness, he had to go to work for people to earn spirit stones, which delayed a lot of time, otherwise his current cultivation would not only be at the third level of qi refining.
"Stand up for me and see how decadent you look now, is it still the iron-clad man I know, you have survived all these years, and now that you have hope, why are you cowardly" Ling Xian frowned, hating the way that iron does not become steel.
"Brother, it's not hope, that's desperate, a rejuvenation pill costs three thousand spirit stones, how many spirit stones do you get for a better spirit pill, I have been greedy for three years, and I have only saved 1,500 spirit stones, where do you let me get the rest" Ling Hu roared hoarsely, and at the end of the roar, it turned into a sad moan.
"Who said you don't have a spirit stone, I don't" Ling Xian smiled faintly.
"What" Ling Hu raised his head violently, stared at Ling Xian with his eyes, and said urgently: "Brother, don't lie to me. ” "When did my brother lie to you, you see what this is."
Ling Xian waved his hand, and a full twenty thousand spirit stones were placed on the ground, flickering with a blurry halo.
Ling Hu looked at the hill made of spirit stones in a daze, and there were emotions such as shock, joy, and disbelief in his eyes.
"Smack" slapped himself hard, Ling Hu cried with joy, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, and muttered sluggishly: "It's not a dream, it's true, a lot of Lingshi Niang have been saved, saved." ” "It's a full 20,000 spirit stones, how about it, brother didn't lie to you."
Ling Xian looked at his dark face full of joy, there was a complex emotion in his heart, there was joy, there was also pride, the joy was that with these spirit stones, the eldest mother would no longer be tortured by illness, and Ling Hu no longer had to get up early and be greedy and desperately earn spirit stones, he could settle down and cultivate well. is proud that he finally has the ability to help the people he cares about, so that the people he wants to protect can live a good life, and have the capital to settle down in this cruel world.
It's a really wonderful feeling
