Chapter 150: Excited to Death
Ling Chuxi brought Lan Xinyu to the Ling family’s ancestral court. Now, no one would stop her anymore. Noticing that there were people reporting to the first elder of her arrival, she was about to get a face cramp from smiling so hard.
Seeing that a servant ran as fast as a rabbit to report her arrival, Ling Chuxi walked while talking indifferently to Lan Xinyu, “Did you know, not long ago, these people had their noses in the air when they saw me? Now, this is their attitude toward me.”
Lan Xinyu was stunned. Grandfather had once told her that Ling Chuxi had a very low position in the Ling family in the past, and she had suffered a lot of bullying. Lan Xinyu could barely believe it. How could such a sharp young maiden possibly be bullied?
“It was because I was weak back then,” sneered Ling Chuxi. “Now that I am strong, naturally, their attitude towards me is no longer the same. If I were to become weak again now, do you believe me when I say that their attitude would be even worse than before?”
Lan Xinyu was stunned again. She had never thought of such a question before. Since she was born, she had been protected and received a lot of attention. No matter where she went, she received compliments and praise. Her identity and talent had determined everything. She had never once thought about what things would be like if all these were gone one day.
“If one day, the Lan family no longer existed and your cultivation was crippled, what would you do?” asked Ling Chuxi softly in a somewhat lazy tone. But the words she spoke were oddly cold. “Would you give up on yourself, or would you seek out every possible method to climb back to the peak and restore the Lan family?”
After Ling Chuxi finished speaking, she no longer bothered about Lan Xinyu who was still standing at her original spot in a daze. She directly walked to the living quarters of the second elder.
Still rooted in place, Lan Xinyu actually felt a scary chill go down her spine. Indeed, if the Lan family were to actually meet its demise, or if she were to face a setback, what would she do? Thinking about it made her break into a cold sweat, despite the fact that it was a cold winter day.
Because… she realized that if she met with such circumstances, she would really give up on herself! And a voice in the depths of her heart was telling her that if Ling Chuxi met with the same circumstances, she definitely would not give up on herself. Instead, she would become even braver with every setback, fighting against every current to once again rise to the top!
Was this the difference between her and Ling Chuxi? Was this the reason grandfather had insisted that she stay by Ling Chuxi’s side? Whipping her head up, Lan Xinyu stared at Ling Chuxi’s departing figure. At this moment, she seemed to have realized something in her heart.
When Ling Chuxi arrived at the second elder’s living quarters, quite a few people greeted her rather warmly. Especially Ling Shiyu, who had run over to tug on her clothes without letting go. His young, immature face was full of hope.
“Elder Sister Chuxi, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Alright, how obedient. Let’s go in quickly to see your grandfather.”
Ling Chuxi stretched out her hand to rub Ling Shiyu’s head. She was only willing to retract her hand after she had rubbed his hair into a mess resembling a bird’s nest. Ling Shiyu raised his head and gave her a silly smile. His face was full of joy and satisfaction.
From a distance, Lan Xinyu saw this scene and suddenly admired the little boy. She subconsciously patted her own head. It seemed that no one had ever rubbed her head like that before. The feeling was very heart-warming.
Entering the house, Ling Chuxi and Ling Shiyu saw the second elder sitting at his bedside. He seemed to be much more spirited and smiled when he saw them entering.
“Little Chuxi, you are here.”
“Yup.” She passed the porcelain bottle to the second elder. “Take three pills the first time you take this. After that, just take a pill a day.”
“What is this?” he asked, accepting the porcelain bottle.
After opening it and taking a whiff, the second elder immediately held his chest. Oh dear! He actually felt like his heart would stop sooner or later, thanks to all the excitement from Ling Chuxi!
