"New family head? Younger brother?!"
Zhang Jia heard these words clearly and gasped!
No wonder Ling Feng dared to be so arrogant, he was actually the younger brother of the new family head!
But even as the younger brother of the new family head, he shouldn't be so disrespectful to him, even having him slapped in public. If this got out, how could he still show his face!
However, what troubled Zhang Jia the most was that the young master from the capital had given orders that he must handle the relationship here properly no matter what!
He was not to let Dong Jinghua's relationship with the Ling family improve, and even less so to let his own relationship with the Ling family deteriorate!
Could he still question Ling Yan, the new family head, at this moment?
"That's right, Ling Feng is my own brother. Vice President Zhang, did my brother do something disrespectful and offend you?"
Ling Yan stepped forward, his aura incredibly powerful. Everyone around felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Ling Yan!
Faintly, some of the top experts present couldn't help but exclaim!
So young!
Ling Yan was so young, yet his aura was so terrifying. Just a sliver of his released energy was enough for true experts to judge that he was definitely a powerhouse who had reached the realm of a true Earthly Immortal!
But in reality, Ling Yan was now far more than just an Earthly Immortal. The true essence within him was already filled to the brim, and ordinary Earthly Immortals were no match for Ling Yan.
There were very few cultivators who had truly reached the Condensing Yuan stage who could fight Ling Yan without being defeated!
This was the result of Ling Yan's crazy cultivation over the past three years. His brother Ling Feng had mysteriously disappeared, and Ling Yan had long prepared for the worst. Lin Shuai Nan's cultivation was already considered insane, but Ling Yan's own cultivation pressure was beyond anyone's imagination!
Originally, Ling Yan had planned to step forward when necessary, but now that Ling Feng had returned, Ling Yan, as the elder brother, had completely relaxed.
Unexpectedly, there was an opportunity for him to shine today. After securing the position of Ling family head, Ling Yan knew that the Ling family would inevitably rise under his leadership!
Therefore, there was no need to hide it any longer!
At the very least, Ling Yan had to take responsibility for the small matter Ling Feng had just done. Zhang Jia would have to swallow his anger, no matter how upset he was!
As expected, Zhang Jia's face turned red, and he looked at Ling Yan in extreme fear.
This Ling Yan was so much more powerful than Ling Zhi Gao!
It turned out that the Ling family was truly as legendary as rumored, with four Dragon Blood descendants and terrifying cultivation talent. To reach such a terrifying height at such a young age, it was unlikely the Ling family would remain confined to this small corner of Jiangbei in the future.
He even thought of the sibling relationship between Ling Feng and Ling Yan.
Immediately, Zhang Jia gave a wry smile: "Heh, Family Head Ling is joking. It's just a small misunderstanding. I think someone instigated this matter!"
After speaking, Zhang Jia glared at Dong Jinghua: "Director Dong, I did hear about the incident at your shop this afternoon. The fiancée of that Ling Feng was falsely accused of murder by you in your shop, and the matter almost escalated. What? Did you say something nonsensical to Ling Feng, framing me for it, which is why Ling Feng is so hostile towards me?"
Shifting the target!
Zhang Jia felt this was the most important thing he could do right now.
As expected, Ling Yan and the others turned their gaze towards Dong Jinghua. Zhang Jia especially saw that Ling Yan's gaze towards Dong Jinghua was very unfriendly!
This made Zhang Jia feel smug in his heart. There was hope!
It seemed he would have to suppress Dong Jinghua properly tonight!
At this moment, Dong Jinghua also felt the pressure from the people around her, especially Ling Yan. This direct brother of Ling Feng's strength was simply unfathomable!
"Zhang Jia, do I need to say whether you did such a thing or not?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jia snorted coldly: "Hmph, it was you who instigated it! Do you want to find Mr. Ling Feng and clarify the matter?!"
At this time, someone around also spoke: "Hey, I think I just heard Director Dong say she met that Mr. Ling Feng!"
"That's right, Director Dong just arrived at the Ling family and didn't meet anyone, but she seemed to have gone to see that Mr. Ling Feng!"
As these voices emerged.
Zhang Jia's eyes lit up even more: "Heh, Dong Jinghua, I didn't expect you to be such a sinister person!"
"I didn't!"
Dong Jinghua gritted her teeth!
Seeing the conflict escalate, Ling Yan spoke to Dong Jinghua: "Director Dong, is it? I've heard of your reputation for a long time. Today is my first day as the Ling family head, Ling Yan. I ask for your face. We are all people of status, there's no need for a commotion!"
After speaking, Ling Yan even extended his hand towards Dong Jinghua!
This immediately quieted the surroundings.
Dong Jinghua also quickly reached out and grabbed Ling Yan's hand: "Family Head Ling, I really didn't..."
"Director Dong, this is your stage next. I'll make my exit and watch your performance!" Before Dong Jinghua could finish speaking, she heard Ling Yan's telepathic message.
Looking at the half-smiling expression in Ling Yan's eyes, Dong Jinghua couldn't help but twitch her lips.
As expected, all of this was arranged by Ling Feng!
"Alright, Family Head Ling, rest assured. As long as others don't bother me, I will definitely give you face!"
"Haha, that's good! Uncle, would you accompany me to greet the other guests? I heard that quite a few people from the war zone are here today, which is indeed giving our Ling family face!"
Ling Yan laughed heartily and turned to call Ling Zhi Gao away. At this moment, Ling Yan's demeanor had already changed significantly. One had to admit, he truly had the demeanor of a family head!
Zhang Jia was somewhat stunned.
Did these two just leave?!
The host of the Ling family had left, and he was still supposed to make a scene here?
No, didn't he just take a slap for nothing?!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jia became furious. Since he had already brought this matter to the table with Dong Jinghua, the Ling family probably didn't have a good impression of Dong Jinghua anymore. It was now his turn to act freely!
"Director Dong, you are indeed quite sinister. However, after you stirred up this scene, the Ling family probably has no good impression of you at all!"
Zhang Jia snorted coldly.
Dong Jinghua, however, glanced at Zhang Jia: "Your face doesn't hurt, does it?"
Zhang Jia was instantly enraged, but at this moment, a deep and imposing voice sounded: "Zhang Jia!"
"Yes, Brother-in-law!"
Zhang Jia's expression immediately changed, and he turned to cup his hands!
Many people around also gathered, bowing and saying: "Greetings, General Zhu!"
The person who arrived was none other than Zhu Shan!
Now, Dong Jinghua's entire body tensed up. The real show was just beginning. Next, she would have to face this six-star general!
No, before that, she had to get rid of Zhang Jia first!
This idiot had been played like a foolish dog, yet he was still wagging his tail. He didn't even know he was facing death!
"Hmm, Zhang Jia, I heard you were slapped. What's going on? Did this newly appointed director not give you face?"
Zhu Shan came up with an angry look and glared at Dong Jinghua!
"You are Dong Jinghua, right?"
Seeing this, Zhang Jia immediately gained confidence and became extremely excited: "That's right, he is Dong Jinghua. Brother-in-law, you have no idea how sinister this guy is. He actually tried to sow discord between me and the Ling family!"
