Full-time King

Chapter 2379: Rejection

At night, because Ling Feng won the championship, Xuanyuan Hong specially held a banquet at Kyoto Hotel to celebrate his victory.

Murong Ling was invited to the banquet by Xuanyuan Hong, and he still felt a little unhappy, but Ling Feng's strength was indeed stronger than his son's. Xuanyuan Hong taught his disciple to be so powerful, and Xuanyuan Hong was not a simple person either.

Ouyang Ye and Hong Luo received the news of Ling Feng's victory. After they eliminated the demons, they rushed back to celebrate for Ling Feng.

Ling Feng looked at the lively scene and didn't know what to say. He felt good seeing everyone celebrating for him.

Shang Lingxuan saw Ling Feng drinking alone, so he stepped forward and raised his glass to congratulate him: "Ling Feng, I think you are amazing. I lost to you at first, but now I am convinced."

When Ling Feng heard Shang Lingxuan's words, he didn't know if he was complimenting himself. If he had the strength he had before, he really wouldn't be his opponent, but now he was also considered a master. At the fifth level of the Avatar Realm, there were still two levels left before he could break through the Avatar Realm and enter the Void Breaking Realm, but it would definitely not be easy to get in.

"I lost to you at the beginning."

"Haha, that's true. But if we really fight in the future, I will definitely not lose to you." Shang Lingxuan said and drank the wine in one gulp.

Just when the atmosphere was getting lively, Boss Ling arrived, attracting everyone's attention. After all, he had a certain prestige in both the ancient martial arts world and the business world.

The reason why Elder Ling appeared here was because he asked the housekeeper to invite Ling Feng to go to the Ling family today, but Ling Feng refused. He had no choice but to come here in person to congratulate Ling Feng.

Xuanyuan Hong walked forward and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ling, what brings you here?"

Elder Ling looked at Xuanyuan Hong and said familiarly, "I'm here to congratulate Ling Feng and congratulate him on winning the championship today."

When Ling Feng heard what Elder Ling said, he smiled and said, "I am very happy that Grandpa Ling can come to our celebration party."

"Ling Feng, can I have a few drinks with you?"

Ling Feng looked at Ling Lao. He was so old, could he drink? Would he drink too much and die?

"Mr. Ling, I think you should drink less alcohol. Alcohol is not good for your health."

When Elder Ling heard Ling Feng's concern for him, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm known for drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk. Your master was defeated by me. You don't need to worry about this."

Xuanyuan Hong looked at Old Ling, wondering what he meant by "he was still his defeated opponent". Now that the two of them were really drinking, it was still unclear who was the defeated opponent.

Ling Feng glanced at the old man, as if to say, Old man, you are not really that bad that you can’t drink more than Old Ling.

Xuanyuan Hong felt what Ling Feng wanted to say, so he said casually, "Stinky boy, don't look at me with that expression. I, your master, know exactly what you are thinking."

Ling Feng was sweating, but if the old man didn’t understand him, then the past twenty years or so would have been in vain.

"Hey, old man, I don't dare anymore. In my heart, you are always the most powerful. It's just someone gave it to Grandpa Ling. It's no big deal. Every horse stumbles and every person makes mistakes."

"Haha." Old Ling was amused by Ling Feng's words. This master and disciple pair were really a pair of funny people, both of them were the type who were not merciful with their words.

Xuanyuan Hong looked at Ling Feng. This brat even kept insulting him when he spoke.

Mr. Ling stopped smiling and clapped his hands.

The uncle Ling Feng met today was holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

"To celebrate Ling Feng's victory, I took out the daughter's red wine that I have treasured for a long time. We will not go home until we are drunk tonight."

When Ling Feng heard the word "Nü'erhong", he wanted to taste what it tasted like.

When the lid of the wine bottle was opened, a strong and fragrant aroma wafted over. Ling Feng had rarely smelled such a fragrant wine, so he didn't know what it tasted like.

Mr. Ling's butler took out a special blue and white porcelain cup. Good wine needs to be paired with a good cup, and the feeling when drinking it will be very different.

Ling Feng took a sip. It was a little spicy at first, but after a careful taste, he could taste the sweetness of the daughter's red wine. It was a good wine. The longer the wine was kept, the better it tasted.

"How do you feel?" Old Ling asked after Ling Feng finished drinking.

"This is a rare fine wine. Grandpa Ling, it is an honor for you to come here, and you also brought such good wine."

When Qin Xiaoshuang heard Ling Feng say this, she also picked up the cup and took a sip. Her tears were about to flow out, and she fanned her eyes with her hands, "It's so spicy, Ling Feng, didn't you say it was good? Why do I taste spicy? I will never believe you again, what's so good about this wine?"

Ling Feng heard Qin Xiaoshuang's complaining voice. Really, she doesn't understand wine. She doesn't understand wine. It's such a waste.

Old Ling glanced at Qin Xiaoshuang. He had investigated Qin Xiaoshuang and found out that she was the daughter of Zhao Xinlan of the Qin Group and that she and Ling Feng were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. He did not forget to take a look at Qin Xiaoshuang. Judging from her figure and face, she was indeed a beauty. Ling Feng was very lucky.

Ling Feng saw that Old Ling was looking at Qin Xiaoshuang. He wondered if Old Ling was a lecherous old man. However, he looked at Old Ling's eyes and they didn't look like lechers. However, he didn't know why Old Ling was looking at Qin Xiaoshuang like this. Did he like Qin Xiaoshuang and let his grandson Ling Hao marry her?

Elder Ling just looked at it for a moment, then looked at Ling Feng: "I want to talk to you alone, I wonder if you will talk to me alone?"

Ling Feng looked at Ling Lao, a little puzzled, why did he want to talk to him alone? He didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.

In a private room at the hotel

Ling Feng didn't know what he and Mr. Ling had to talk about, so he asked, "Mr. Ling, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Elder Ling asked Ling Feng to sit down, and then said: "Ling Feng, when I first saw you, I felt that we two were quite compatible, so I wanted to ask, are you willing to be my grandson?"

When Ling Feng heard that Old Ling wanted him to be his grandson, he felt flattered. The Ling family was the object of many people's desire to marry into it. Just like the night when he went to a party with Chen Yajie, he met a funny guy who said he was from the Ling family. He thought he was really the young master of the Ling family, which really made him laugh to death. Now that Old Ling took the initiative to let him be his grandson, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Grandpa Ling, it is an honor to be your grandson. But..." Ling Feng paused and continued, "Grandpa Ling, I am surprised to hear you say that, but I still refuse. Although the Ling family is very powerful, I don't want to rely on their power. I'm sorry, I can't obey your order."

Ling Feng's answer left no room for maneuver, because he didn't want to be called a wimp who relied on the power of the Ling family.

Elder Ling frowned. He didn't expect Ling Feng to be so decisive. This temper, it must be said, is very similar to that of his dead son. At present, he is not sure whether Ling Feng is his grandson, but he still admires Ling Feng very much.

"Haha, I thought you would agree to me without hesitation, but I didn't expect you to reject an old man like me. But I admire you. If one day you think it through, come to me. I have decided on you as my grandson."

"..." Ling Feng seemed very speechless, not knowing how to describe Ling Lao's current state, but he would definitely do what he said. If Ling Lao was his own grandfather, he would agree without hesitation. He was an orphan without a father or a mother since he was a child, and lucky things would not fall on his head. Many things require being down-to-earth, and only when you get them will you feel at ease.

Ling Feng and Mr. Ling chatted in the private room for a while, and then Ling Feng left the room on his own.

Ling Feng left the room, and Elder Ling watched him leave. He thought it would be better to confirm his relationship with Ling Feng as soon as possible. Before there was evidence to prove his relationship with Ling Feng, he would not force it. Once it was confirmed, he would let him recognize his ancestry.

When he returned to the banquet, Qin Xiaoshuang asked, "Ling Feng, that old man just wanted to talk to you alone, what did you two talk about?"

Ling Feng knew that Qin Xiaoshuang was curious, so he said to Qin Xiaoshuang: "This is a secret between the two of us, how can I tell you."

"Tsk." Qin Xiaoshuang rolled her eyes at Ling Feng. "I really wanted to know just now, but now I don't want to know anymore."

Ling Feng looked at Qin Xiaoshuang and shrugged awkwardly, "I was just teasing you. It's nothing serious. It's just that Elder Ling wanted to recognize me as his grandson, but I refused."

"What?" Qin Xiaoshuang was surprised and asked, "What's the result? You didn't agree to him?"

"Of course I refused. Although Elder Ling is rich and powerful, and has a certain reputation in the ancient martial arts world, forget about being his grandson. Elder Ling has his own grandson. If he dies, I will also have a share of the property. Ling Hao will kill me. I don't want to get involved in this mess."

"You actually refused such a thing. Although I don't know the identity of Mr. Ling, I can see that my father is very respectful to him, which shows that he has a certain influence. Don't you think it's a pity?"

What a pity? Ling Feng never felt it was a pity. Once he had made the decision, it was a decision. What was the pity of not being the grandson of Old Ling? Although the Ling family was rich and powerful, he didn't care about these. One day, Xuan Dao Sect would be more famous than the Ling family. He would have plenty of time to manage Xuan Dao Sect and make it flourish.

"I don't think so. I think it would be a mistake if I agreed to Elder Ling's request. I, Ling Feng, am a man of integrity. Do you think I'm the kind of person who curries favor with powerful people? If I were Elder Ling's godson, I would eventually be called a wimp. I don't want that. Between wealth and fame, I'd rather have my fame. If you really want me to recognize someone, there is only one answer. Unless Elder Ling and I are related by blood, I can recognize him as my grandfather. It's better to recognize one's ancestors than to curry favor with powerful people." Ling Feng said everything he wanted to say. He and Elder Ling were not related by blood, so it was impossible for him to be Elder Ling's grandson.
