Chapter 122: Fake Gold from the Xuanmen Sect, Comparing Resentment with Ghosts (8)
The banned book has been delivered to Ling Jinxing, and she is now waiting for the development of the situation.
The book seemed to carry a mysterious power, filling the air around it with tension and anticipation.
Ling Tan'er did not disappoint.
As soon as she got the banned book, she couldn't wait to start studying it.
She believed the content of the text message without a doubt. Even though she could no longer get through to the mysterious man on the phone, she still firmly believed that he was just hiding his identity.
On the first day of research, Ling Tan'er already saw hope.
She discovered that as long as she used the magic weapon sealed by the Ling family and signed a contract with the Ghost King when he was at his weakest, she would be able to control all the ghosts.
This thought made her extremely excited, as if she had already seen the moment when she stood at the peak of her power.
What surprised her even more was that a phenomenon described in the book was very similar to Ling Jinxing's previous behavior - ghosts would hide after hearing her screams.
Ling Tan'er smiled disdainfully. It turned out that Ling Qu'er suddenly became stronger because he secretly learned the contents of the banned book.
So, Ling Tan'er began to search for the magic weapon everywhere in the Ling family's villa and ancestral tomb.
Her behavior became more and more outrageous, and she even did not hesitate to alarm the ancestors of the Ling family.
Ling Jinxing was like a bystander. Every day, apart from going to school, he would go home and watch the show.
She watched Ling Tan'er go crazy step by step. Digging graves had become the norm. She watched the ancestors of the Ling family jump out of their graves in anger.
Those ancestors found Ling's father angrily and asked him what this unfilial son was trying to do.
They surrounded Father Ling and launched mental attacks, giving him a headache.
Ling's father defended himself innocently, "That's enough! Why would I dig up your graves for no reason? Do you have nothing better to do?"
"You're talking nonsense!" an old man roared, "You just dug up my grave!"
"Who else could it be if not you?" another old ancestor also spoke up, "Aren't you and Ling Qu'er the only ones listed in the Ling family tree? Now that she's severed ties, you're the only one left!"
When Ling's father heard this, he was suddenly stunned.
He realized that besides himself and Ling Qu'er, he also had a biological daughter - Ling Tan'er!
He immediately stood up and rushed to Ling Tan'er's room.
After knocking on the door for a long time without any response, Ling's father got so angry that he kicked the door open.
The room is empty!
Father Ling was stunned. It had to be her! What an unfilial daughter! She actually dug up her ancestors' graves!
Midnight Grave Hill
It was a dark and windy night. In the middle of the night, Ling Jinxing climbed up an old tree silently like a nimble cat and found a hidden branch to sit down.
From this position, she could clearly see Ling Tan'er, who was concentrating on digging a grave in front of her. Her figure looked both strange and funny in the dim light.
It was quiet all around, with only the sound of Ling Tan'er digging and the occasional chirping of night birds, adding a bit of weirdness to the silent night.
Ling's father will arrive at this "battlefield" in ten minutes
Will the father be kind and the daughter be filial?
Ling Tan'er was obviously still immersed in her own world and had no idea about the coming storm.
While digging the soil vigorously, she complained: "Are these ancestors stupid? They have good things but don't share them with their descendants. Instead, they have to hide them in this broken soil!" As she spoke, she angrily kicked the stone tablet twice, as if that would vent her anger.
"We spend so much money on them every year, but they enjoy it! They even hide the good things." Ling Tan'er kept muttering, but her hands did not stop moving at all.
Ling Jinxing was almost sleepy from watching from above, and muttered to herself: "Can this person move faster? Does he have to be so slow?" She yawned and almost fell out of the tree.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night, and Ling's father finally arrived.
He saw Ling Tan'er still digging the grave, and immediately flew into a rage. He rushed over and slapped Ling Tan'er hard in the face, "Evil girl! Who asked you to dig the grave?"
After being slapped, Ling Tan'er finally reacted. She stared at her father blankly, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, "Dad, why did you hit me? I will soon become stronger than Ling Qu'er!"
"Did you know that the Ling family has a forbidden book?" Ling Tan'er asked anxiously, "As long as I can get the hidden magic weapon, I will be able to control ghosts! Then our Ling family will be able to return to its peak and become the most powerful family!"
Upon hearing this, Father Ling's face darkened even further. "Do you think that's so easy? The reason a forbidden book is forbidden is because its power is too dangerous. If you're not careful, you could be doomed!"
"I don't care!" Ling Tan'er shouted stubbornly, "I just want to become stronger! I want everyone to see that I, Ling Tan'er, am the strongest!"
"Now, immediately, immediately, fill these graves. From now on, you are not allowed to set foot here again! As for the matter of the banned book, just pretend you know nothing about it. Do you understand?"
Ling's father's face suddenly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He was still wondering how this person knew about the banned book.
"Why is it a forbidden book? Although it can control all ghosts, it comes at the cost of one's own body. When the vitality disappears, it becomes a vessel for the ghost king."
"But, so what? As long as it can make me stronger, as long as it can make me surpass Ling Qu'er and become the strongest! I am willing to give anything!" Ling Tan'er shouted in her heart, her expression gradually distorted.
However, Ling's father ruthlessly shattered her fantasy.
"Do you think it's so easy to control all the ghosts? Do you know what it means to be the vessel of the Ghost King? It's a life worse than death, it's eternal imprisonment!" Ling's father scolded coldly.
Ling Tan'er held her head and screamed, "I won't! I don't want it! Dad, can't you just stand by and see me become stronger? You clearly have a way but you won't let me do it. Now Ling Qu'er has become the daughter of the Lin family. She enjoys wealth and glory, while I can only suffer here!"
"She won't remember you, but I, I am your biological daughter!" Ling Tan'er's voice was filled with tears, and her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.
Father Ling didn't want to hear any more of her excuses. "Are you leaving or not? If not, you will leave the Ling family forever, and we in the Ling family will just pretend that we don't have a daughter like you!" Father Ling's voice was cold and resolute, leaving no room for maneuver.
Upon hearing that Ling's father disowned her, the hatred deep within Ling Tan'er erupted like a volcano. She understood that her biological father ultimately wanted Ling Jinxing, her adopted daughter, to return and replace her. If that was the case, why should she even consider the so-called father-daughter relationship?
Ling Tan'er decided to go all out, so she picked up the shovel in her hand and smashed it hard on Ling's father's head. Ling's father had never expected this to happen. He only felt a sharp pain, and then the second shovel, the third shovel...
"Since you only think about your adopted daughter, then go to hell! Go to hell..." Ling Tan'er's voice became hysterical, and her eyes were full of madness and murderous intent.
