Chapter 1472 Xiao Yi's Attitude
"Mr. Xiao..."
As Xiao Yi stepped into the yard, many younger members of the Ling family bowed to him with smiles on their faces.
Many of them were not only grateful to Xiao Yi, but also had great admiration for his strength and medical skills. Of course, they were also full of doubts.
It is difficult to find another 8th-grade Martial God in his twenties in the entire Kunlun Realm, unless... he is in the far west.
Soon, Ling Zhengqing led Xiao Yi into the main hall. Standing in the hall were all the elders of the Ling family, and the most authoritative ones were in the front.
At this time, Ling Chengtai looked good and sat in the first seat.
"Mr. Xiao."
Seeing Xiao Yi, Ling Chengtai stood up to greet him.
Seeing this, all the elders made way for Xiao Yi and Ling Chengtai.
"Ling... Patriarch."
After Xiao Yi greeted him, he was pulled to the front by Ling Chengtai. He had some doubts in his heart, but now he already had some premonitions.
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat."
Ling Chengtai said slowly.
Xiao Yi was stunned, and then he noticed that there was another seat next to the first seat, which seemed to be prepared for him.
"Master Ling, this... isn't appropriate?"
Xiao Yi said modestly.
"Mr. Xiao is my Ling Chengtai's savior, so there's nothing inappropriate about that."
Ling Chengtai pulled... no, almost pushed Xiao Yi into the seat.
Xiao Yi couldn't resist and sat down slowly, but Ling Chengtai had no intention of sitting down and stepped back a few steps.
"Mr. Xiao, on behalf of myself and the entire Ling family, thank you!"
Ling Chengtai was very sincere.
"If you hadn't risked your life to save me yesterday, I would have died by now."
"Master Ling, there is no need to do this."
Xiao Yi stood up again.
"Mr. Xiao, you are not only my benefactor, but also the benefactor of my entire Ling family. I promise that my Ling family will repay this kindness with gratitude!"
Ling Chengtai said this and bowed respectfully, expressing his great gratitude.
"Thank you Mr. Xiao!"
The Xiao family members also bowed and expressed their gratitude.
"Master Ling..."
Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment and took a step forward.
He had never seen Ling Qianfan from beginning to end. At this moment, he suddenly understood something.
"I saved you, you should thank me!"
Xiao Yi's tone of speech has changed!
In fact, he didn't want to say this, but now, he had to show his attitude!
"Since you want to thank me, and you said you are representing the entire Ling family, then I have a question."
Xiao Yi continued.
Hearing this, a look of confusion flashed across Ling Chengtai's face, and he looked up at Xiao Yi.
"Are all your Ling family members here?"
Xiao Yi asked directly.
Ling Chengtai's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood what Xiao Yi meant.
"Already...all arrived."
Ling Chengtai replied.
"Really? What about Ling Qianfan?"
Xiao Yi said deliberately.
"This……"
Ling Chengtai hesitated.
"Ling Qianfan...is no longer a member of my Ling family, so please forgive me, Mr. Xiao."
"Master Ling, you may have misunderstood. I saved you not because of Senior Ling Zhengqing, but because of Ling Qianfan. She... is my sister!"
Xiao Yi's voice sank.
At this moment, he knew very well that he was just acting with Ling Chengtai.
He knew very well that Ling Chengtai had no other choice. For the sake of the stability of the Ling family and to demonstrate his previous attitude, on the surface, Ling Qianfan could only remain an outsider.
But as for him, he had to break the rules of the Ling family! He wanted Ling Qianfan to stand here with his back straight like him!
Everyone in the Ling family had various thoughts, and many people were exchanging glances. In fact, many people were not clear about the specific relationship between Xiao Yi and Ling Qianfan.
"Mr. Xiao, please understand that this is the rule of our Ling family. Ling Qianfan... is a sinner of the Ling family. Even though she was here yesterday, it was out of consideration for a little blood relationship, but after today, she is still not a member of the Ling family."
An elder stood up and spoke slowly.
"Rules, eh?"
Xiao Yi sneered.
"If I had known that you Ling family members were so hard-hearted, I would not have taken action yesterday!
I almost forgot that yesterday, many people seemed to have stopped me and didn't believe in me and Senior Ling. Now your thanks to me, haha, are really harsh. "
For a moment, there was a brief silence at the scene. This young man has a bad temper.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I did all this for Sister Ling, not for you!"
Xiao Yi's tone turned cold, and he walked down the platform and walked away without looking at anyone.
"Please stay, Mr. Xiao."
Ling Chengtai tried to persuade him to stay.
Xiao Yi stopped but didn't look back.
"Go call Ling Qianfan over."
Ling Chengtai said to the housekeeper outside the door.
"Yes."
Butler Cai responded and left.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Xiao. Ling Qianfan will be here soon."
Ling Chengtai said again.
In fact, he was also very surprised in his heart. He didn't expect Xiao Yi to be so unfair for his daughter on the spot.
His behavior, besides fulfilling what Xiao Yi thought, actually had some deeper meaning.
The clearer his stance was and the more he refused to give in to Ling Qianfan, the more sympathy he would gain from some of the elders in the Ling family, which would be more conducive to his daughter's return to the Ling family in the future.
Xiao Yi, however, remained indifferent, standing there, looking disdainful of everything.
Everyone in the Ling family understood his intention very well, but some elders were still a little unhappy. One thing should be considered one thing, and they cannot deny what happened in the past just because of this!
Outside the yard, Ling Yu secretly looked at Xiao Yi. A trace of admiration flashed through her heart, but it was quickly buried deep down.
Not long after, Ling Qianfan entered the yard. She had already heard from the housekeeper what had just happened. Although she felt warm in her heart, she knew that Xiao Yi's actions were somewhat futile.
"Sister Ling."
Xiao Yi finally smiled and went forward.
Ling Qianfan looked at Xiao Yi, still not sure what he wanted to do.
Afterwards, the two returned to the hall.
"Okay, you can go ahead and thank me now."
Xiao Yi said deliberately.
"But compared to me, you should thank her more!"
"Xiao Yi..."
Ling Qianfan frowned.
Everyone in the Ling family was stunned. There was no way they would bow to thank Ling Qianfan!
"What's wrong? Wasn't what you just said very grand? What about repaying kindness with gratitude? I don't need that at all. I just want all of you to say thank you to the two of us!"
Xiao Yi's tone changed and he glanced at the entire audience. Because of Ling Qianfan, he didn't need to respect most people here!
His words made Ling Chengtai a little at a loss. He thought he just wanted Ling Qianfan to show up and thank them together.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi actually wanted to do this...
"Mr. Xiao..."
Ling Zhengqing hesitated to speak, hoping that Xiao Yi could calm down, and gave Ling Qianfan a look.
Although he was very grateful for what Xiao Yi had done for his sister, the current situation was not suitable for this.
“I don’t care what they do to me.”
Ling Qianfan whispered to Xiao Yi.
"Even so, you have to stand here!"
Xiao Yi also knew that it was inappropriate, but that was his temper and he had to speak out. He wanted to let all the members of the Ling family know his attitude!
He looked at Ling Qianfan again, said nothing more, and retreated behind Ling Zhengqing.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao... for saving my father. I, Ling Qianfan, will remember this and repay you with all my strength!"
Ling Qianfan said loudly and bowed to express his thanks.
Then, Ling Chengtai led everyone to face Xiao Yi again and bowed to express his gratitude.
Xiao Yi glanced at the entire scene and stopped worrying about it for the moment, but this matter was not over yet!
In that case, let’s do something to help this elder sister. By then, I don’t believe that she won’t be able to return to the Ling family completely!
