Chapter 1852: Nearly Made a Grave Mistake

Everyone was stunned on the spot!

The unparalleled genius of the Leng family, Leng Qiuling, a disciple of Qianling Mansion, was actually opposing her own father?

This reversal was too dramatic.

"Qiuling, what are you saying?" Leng Hongxiu was also taken aback and asked.

He knew that this daughter was the most filial and never went against his wishes.

What was wrong with her today?

Leng Qiuling said calmly, "Everyone has a scale in their hearts to weigh right and wrong. Brother Leng Hao's actions are indeed unworthy of the title of young master. Father, I suggest we let Brother Leng Xu continue as young master."

Once again, there was dead silence!

No one expected Leng Qiuling to say such words in front of everyone.

Even Leng Xu was stunned.

Leng Qiuling had entered Qianling Mansion early, and they had little interaction; their relationship was not close.

Why would she suddenly speak up for him?

As for Leng Hao, Leng Qiuling's words hit him like a thunderbolt.

He couldn't believe in his dreams that Leng Qiuling would say such a thing at this moment!

In his view, the ones least likely to oppose him were Leng Hongxiu and his daughter.

Yet Leng Qiuling dealt him a fatal blow at this very moment!

Although Leng Qiuling, like him, was only a junior of the Leng family, her status was completely different.

She was not only the proud daughter of the Leng family but also the proud daughter of the entire Qianling Imperial Capital.

Leng Qiuling usually never meddled in Leng family affairs; her vision had long transcended the level of the Leng family.

But today, she actually spoke up!

Leng Qiuling's words were undoubtedly weighty, even more effective than all the elders combined!

Leng Hongxiu frowned, recalling his daughter's earlier reaction, and suddenly understood.

This Ye Yuan must be that Ye Yuan!

But could this kid named Ye Yuan really have a significant background?

Otherwise, why would his daughter defy him in front of so many people?

"Since Ling'er has said so, then..." Leng Hongxiu finally heeded his daughter's words and was about to announce the final result.

Leng Hao's face was ashen; his years of effort could not withstand a single word from Leng Qiuling!

He was full of hatred!

"Wait!" But at that moment, Leng Xu suddenly interrupted him.

Leng Hongxiu frowned, but heard Leng Xu say solemnly, "Brother Leng Hao, I told you, I don't care about the position of young master! What I value more is family and friendship! Unfortunately, the brother I once regarded as a father and elder has drifted away. I came today not to compete with you for the young master position. I just wanted to tell everyone that I, Leng Xu, am worthy of the name of Leng family young master! However, even if I have defeated my elder brother today, I never intended to continue as young master. From today on, I, Leng Xu, resign from the position of Leng family young master!"

This sudden turn of events left everyone astonished.

Everyone thought the young master dispute was settled by Leng Qiuling's words, but Leng Xu himself stepped forward to resign.

Ye Yuan watched this scene and nodded with a faint smile.

He understood that not many could act like Leng Xu.

After all, being young master meant more cultivation resources and advantages—no one knew this better than Leng Xu.

Yet he let it go without any hesitation.

In Ye Yuan's view, although cultivation resources were important, the path was one's own to walk; no amount of resources could compare to walking one's own path.

One's own strength was true strength!

But few could see this clearly.

Leng Qiuling's eyes flickered; she was clearly surprised by Leng Xu's move.

Her vision had long transcended the scope of the Leng family.

She had spoken solely out of consideration for Ye Yuan's face.

Unexpectedly, Leng Xu didn't care about the young master position at all.

Suddenly, Leng Qiuling found it somewhat amusing—birds of a feather flock together!

If it were Ye Yuan, he would do the same, wouldn't he?

Although she had little contact with Ye Yuan, she could tell that Ye Yuan was also an unruly and unrestrained person.

No worldly conventions could bind such a person.

After a moment of silence, Leng Hongxiu nodded and said, "Enough, let's all disperse. The matter of the young master will be discussed another day!"

With the family head's word, everyone dispersed, leaving only Leng Hao, staring blankly.

Leng Xu's final words left him dazed.

It turned out that a very simple matter had been complicated by him.

It turned out that the young master position was within easy reach, but now it had vanished.

It turned out that Leng Xu truly didn't care about the young master position!

All his efforts were nothing but a superfluous joke!

...

"Father, are you wondering why I stopped you from dealing with Ye Yuan?" Leng Qiuling, sensing her father's displeasure, brought up the topic.

Leng Hongxiu was, after all, the head of the family; having his daughter embarrass him in public was hard to swallow!

But he was very tolerant of Leng Qiuling. With a dark face, he said, "Is this Ye Yuan the one you know?"

Leng Qiuling nodded.

"What background does this kid have? Why did you have to step in at this moment?"

Leng Qiuling briefly recounted her encounter at Tongshen Mountain, and Leng Hongxiu's expression gradually changed.

"You mean... this kid might be a genius under the Heavenly Emperor?" Leng Hongxiu asked in surprise.

Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but you must have heard of that old drunkard's strength, Father? Would he stand up for a young man who hasn't even reached the Divine Lord realm? Isn't that suspicious? Moreover, Ye Yuan is full of mysteries, too many to fathom. Such a person should at least not be provoked!"

The more Leng Hongxiu listened, the more alarmed he became. For his daughter to have such a high opinion, this young man was clearly extraordinary.

In fact, how could a genius who could comprehend spatial translocation be ordinary?

The more he thought, the more terrified Leng Hongxiu became. If Ye Yuan really came from a Heavenly Emperor or even a Dao Ancestor faction, the consequences of moving against him would be too severe!

"This... why didn't you say so earlier! I nearly made a grave mistake!" Leng Hongxiu said.

Leng Qiuling said, "I didn't know beforehand either. In fact, I never imagined that in just a few hundred years, Ye Yuan's strength could reach such a level! Remember, when I met him at Tongshen Mountain back then, he hadn't even reached the Divine Lord realm!"

When Leng Qiuling met Ye Yuan back then, he was only at the Great Perfection of Guixu.

With Leng Qiuling's cultivation speed, ordinary people would only fall further behind.

But Ye Yuan had narrowed the gap to just this much in a few hundred years.

Heavenly God Fifth Layer versus Heavenly God Second Layer—for ordinary people, it might be an insurmountable gap.

But for Ye Yuan, it clearly didn't apply.

After all, on the arena, Ye Yuan had kicked away Leng Hao, who was at Heavenly God Fourth Layer, with a single kick!
