Chapter 22: It's only natural to kill to pay for life!
On the morning of the next day, Ling Xiao brought an entourage from the Ling family to the Swordsman's Courtyard of Lingwu Academy.
"Master Ling, if the matter is not too serious, I don't want to disturb you and take charge of the matter in person. It's great that you can come. Otherwise, our Lingwu Academy wouldn't know how to handle this matter."
In the reception room of the Swordsman's Courtyard, Ling Xiao was sitting on a mahogany armchair on one side, blowing the tea in the cup, listening to He Xin saying some indifferent words with an indifferent expression. Beside him, His personal servant stood aside.
"Dean He doesn't have to be like this, but I just want to ask, where is Ling Chen now?"
He Xin rolled his eyes, waved to another attendant in the room, and said with a stern face: "Go and notify the law enforcement disciples and ask them to bring Ling Chen here, and tell them that the Ling Family Master is here."
The attendant nodded and immediately ran out to convey He Xin's words.
Ling Xiao saw all this and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He had seen many people like this who were afraid of the weak and greedy for profit. As the head of a family, he still had this kind of discernment.
After doing all this, He Xin turned his head and smiled symbolically at Ling Xiao, who snorted lightly but did not speak.
After a while, the two law enforcement disciples brought Ling Chen to the living room. Maybe the attendant specifically told him that Ling Chen was not tied up to see Ling Xiao.
When Ling Chen saw Ling Xiao in the living room, a trace of unconcealable tenderness flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly returned to a calm expression.
"Dad, you are here."
Ling Xiao glanced at his little son and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Huh, is it okay if I don't come? If this happened, if I didn't come, would you still be able to walk out alive?"
Ling Chen moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word. It seemed that he was used to his father's indifference.
Ling Xiao's words were a pun. He Xin, who was standing by him, could naturally hear the meaning of Ling Xiao's words. He immediately smiled and said: "The words of the Ling family are serious. Even if something big happens, we I won’t do anything to the young master.”
"Really? Then I really need to write more about He Xin. He thinks highly of me, Ling. You say my son killed someone. What evidence do you have?"
Seeing Ling Xiao taking the initiative to ask, He Xin immediately put on a serious face and said seriously: "We found a torn piece of cloth in the palm of the deceased's hand, and later found it in Mr. Ling's room. A bloody piece of clothing, and a piece of it was indeed torn off."
"The most important thing is that the gap in the clothes exactly matches the cloth strip held tightly in the deceased's hand, so Mr. Ling is the most suspicious!"
He Xin was also a smart man, so he didn't directly say that Ling Chen was the murderer in front of Ling Xiao, but just said that he was the biggest suspect!
Ling Chen snorted coldly, frowned and said, "Dean He seems to have said otherwise before. I already pointed out that the evidence was insufficient, but you went against all the opinions and asked the law enforcement disciples to tie me up in the square in the front yard for public display."
Ling Xiao's eyes turned cold. Although Ling Chen was just a loser, he was his son after all. By doing this, He Xin made it clear that he didn't take him seriously.
"Dean He, you seem to have gone too far! Not to mention that my son's cultivation level cannot kill that He Qing. Even if he killed him, it would not be like this. Do we, the Ling family, care about killing someone?"
Ling Xiao's words were righteous, and his usual demeanor as the head of the family was fully displayed at this time, making He Xin at a loss what to say.
"What a loud tone!"
Suddenly, a thick voice sounded outside the door, and a tall figure suddenly flashed into the eyes of Ling Xiao and others.
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
With a thought in his heart, Ling Xiao saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, it was Wang Batian, the head of the Wang family.
Wang Batian, as his name suggests, is vigorous and decisive in his actions.
Because of this, the Wang family has risen rapidly in the past five or six years, leaving the Ling family behind.
Wang Batian was followed by someone, but this person was not a follower, but his son Wang Yiming.
The moment Wang Batian stepped into the living room, his eyes swept over Ling Chen and he sat directly on a chair in the living room with an imposing manner.
"Why don't you let your servants notify you in advance when the head of the Wang family comes to visit, so that I can go out to greet him?"
As soon as Wang Batian sat down, He Xin immediately walked up with a flattering smile on his face.
That smile made Ling Chen want to vomit.
"Dean, I don't have time to listen to what you said. I just want to know where the person who killed my nephew is now!"
Wang Batian put on a stinky air as soon as he sat down, which made Ling Xiao feel very unhappy.
"Dad, he was the one who killed his cousin!"
Before He Xin could say anything, Wang Yiming, who was behind Wang Batian, pointed at Ling Chen and shouted coldly.
With Wang Batian's support, Wang Yiming is certainly not afraid at all, because he knows that his father is now a master of the sword king realm.
You must know that there are only three sword masters in the entire Xinpo Town.
One is the chief dean of Lingwu Academy, one is the head of the Qin family, and the other is his father.
Because of this, Wang Yiming appeared even more arrogant, and even looked at Ling Chen with a hint of amusement.
Wang Batian glanced at Ling Chen with his sharp eyes and said directly: "Oh? You are the loser of the Ling family."
Although he was asking, the tone of his words was clearly affirmative.
Ling Xiao's expression changed, "Wang Batian, what do you mean by this!"
"Oh, what do you mean? Your son is a loser. Doesn't anyone in Xinpo Town know about this? Did I say something wrong?"
Ling Chen frowned and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Ling Xiao became angry.
"Wang Batian! Don't think that you are so magical just after you broke through to the Sword King realm. Let me tell you, I, Ling Xiao, have never been afraid of anyone!"
Seeing the two of them quarreling as soon as they met, He Xin had a headache, but he couldn't say anything.
There were people on both sides who could not afford to offend, so he could only remain silent.
"Hahaha, the head of the Ling family is so cool! But if your son killed my nephew, I won't just let it go!"
Seeing Wang Batian's arrogance, Ling Xiao clenched his iron fist tightly and tried his best to control the anger in his heart.
"Dad, don't be fooled, he is deliberately irritating you."
Ling Chen whispered next to Ling Xiao at the right moment.
Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Chen in surprise, then took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.
"What do you want?" Ling Xiao asked coldly after calming down. He knew that Wang Batian would definitely not give up. After all, the Wang family had been looking for an opportunity to start a war with the Ling family.
But this time, the Ling family directly gave the Wang family such an opportunity. How could Wang Batian let it go so easily?
"What do I want? Hahaha... It's very simple. Kill someone and pay for your life. It's only right!"
