In the afternoon, Lin Dong did not invite Yang Ling and Yang Qingting, and took Lin Shuang to the ready-to-wear shop alone. He bought a few new clothes and wandered around. It was not until the evening that the two returned to the inn.

The supper was eaten in the yard, with Yang Ling and Yang Qingting added, which was much richer than before.

As usual, Lin Shuang should continue to introduce her academic studies at Qiushui College and her great achievements in setting up small street stalls, but Yang Qingting's remaining power was still there, and she also changed the rule of not saying anything about eating half a year ago. Therefore, she chewed it slowly and was rarely quiet.

After dinner, Lin Dong still did not give any clear reply to Yang Qingting's question. It was not until midnight that he went up to the accommodation building alone and knocked on Yang Ling's door.

"Lin Dong?"

Looking at Lin Dong outside the door, Yang Ling was a little surprised.

"Does the Sixth Master have time? I want to talk to you." Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Well, come in!" Yang Ling nodded and moved away from her side.

Lin Dong glanced casually. The room was clean and the bedding was brand new and had never been moved. If Yang Ling had not sat in the room all night, he would have been practicing in the room.

When Lin Dong sat down at the desk, Yang Ling said helplessly: "I haven't seen you for ten years, you have become decisive and sharp. Is it because of me?"

Lin Dong nodded and said straight to the point: "Sixth Master, I want to know why you returned to the Yang family?"

Yang Ling hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, can you still believe you..."

Lin Dong was silent. If Yang Ling didn't want to say it, he wouldn't be able to force it.

Sighing, Yang Ling suddenly said, "Are the bandits in Xilan County rampant?"

Lin Dong frowned slightly and looked straight at Yang Ling: "Is the Sixth Young Master a bandit?"

Yang Ling smiled bitterly again. He hadn't seen it for ten years, and the changes were indeed different. He could guess his identity with just one sentence. It would be absolutely unimaginable if he had been Lin Dong before.

After a moment of silence, Yang Ling asked, "If I were a bandit, what would you do?"

Lin Dong said lightly: "The bandits are rampant and do evil, and they do everything they want to plunder. Ninety-nine of them should be killed in one hundred. But... I didn't see the bandits doing evil with my own eyes, they have nothing to do with me."

Yang Ling laughed: "If you haven't seen each other for ten years, your heart is the place where the most changes are. In the past, although you dare not evaluate bandits, the bandits who do evil are the ones you hate the most."

Lin Dongyouyou said: "At the age of thirteen, he was helpless and had to live alone. If he suffered too much, he would become hard-working and his courage would be stronger."

Yang Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you resent me to leave you alone?"

Lin Dong shook his head. Whether it was his ex or himself, he could understand Yang Ling’s decision back then.

Back then, Yang Ling was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his mind was full of hatred, but he was confused and had no way out. He would leave his ex behind, but he didn't want his ex to be displaced.

What's more, it's enough to treat all the jewelry left by my mother as silver and give it to my ex without leaving a single penny.

"Ten years ago, I left the city alone, thinking that with my talent, I could enter the sect and become a disciple, and after I finished my studies, I could go back to the Yang family to take revenge." Yang Ling said in confusion: "But when I really left Qiufeng City, I realized the difficulty of having nothing. In order to reach the sect alive, I stole, robbed, and killed people. Later, I finally arrived in Lingnan County, but I killed the second young master of the Feng family in the city. I was wanted by the Feng family and chased them. I had no way out and could only go up the mountain to surrender to the bandits. After that, the small leader, the big leader, the village leader... were killed more and more people. The past business travelers, nearby landlords, and the passing civilians, slowly, the killing of people was only based on property but not people."

After a pause, a bitter hatred flashed in Yang Ling's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The motivation to support me to survive is the Yang family. I want the Yang family to be uneasy, and Yang Huailiang has no son and grandson!"

Lin Dong was shocked, the family was uneasy, and the sons and grandchildren were gone?

He knew that Yang Ling hated the Yang family, but he didn't expect that he hated him to such an extent that he would cause trouble to the entire Yang family.

"Why do you do this?"

"Do you know how my mother died?"

Lin Dong shook his head slowly. In my memory, his ex had never seen Yang Ling's mother before. He only knew that his mother was the fourth wife. He had died of illness when his ex entered the Yang family.

Yang Ling sneered, "I saw Yang Huailiang beat her to death with my own eyes. The reason was just because I fought with Yang Chi. Yang Chi couldn't beat me, so he went back to find Peng Zhenfeng to stand up. In order not to let me be punished, my mother hid me. Yang Huailiang seemed to be asking the Peng family at that time, and in order to express her determination, she beat her to death. They probably wouldn't have thought that my mother hid me in the bookcase. That year, I was only five years old. Later, you should know it."

Lin Dong was silent.

The murderous aura slowly subsided, and Yang Ling's face returned to a faint smile, as if he had returned to the Sixth Master who was once kind to everyone.

"Just with me and a group of bandits, I can't destroy the Yang family, so I hope you can help me."

Lin Dong said slowly: "How can I help you?"

Yang Ling looked surprised: "Would you like to help me?"

Lin Dong nodded. No matter who Yang Ling has become now, no matter how poor and evil she is, she can explain the reasons and purposes to herself, and she will undoubtedly regard herself as the most trustworthy person. For this reason, she must repay the love her ex owed.

Yang Ling's face was happy, and then sighed again: "You shouldn't have let Tianhao enter the Gu Huanzong."

Lin Dong said lightly: "Whether it is a large sect or a small sect! If Tianhao really has the ability, even in a small sect, he can still lead it into a large sect in the future."

Yang Ling shook his head: "That's right, high will lead to higher achievements. The small sect never has enough conditions to cultivate Tianhao. However, at this point, there is no room for improvement. Although the Yang family is powerful, it is not yet at the level of being able to force a sect to give up its heirs."

After a pause, Yang Ling continued: "Fortunately, with Tianhao's talent, even if there is no major sect training, he will be destined to be among the strong in the future. This means that the Gu Huanzong alone is enough to become a medium-sized sect with Tianhao's strength. As long as you marry into the Yang family, Tianhao is the descendant of the Yang family. Although the major sects have sect rules that are not allowed to participate in secular interests disputes, with Tianhao's strength, their prestige in the Gu Huanzong will naturally not be low in the future. Even if they cannot support the Yang family, they will sell all the extra spirit stones, elixirs, spiritual weapons and other things to the Yang family at a low price. When the Yang family encounters trouble, they can go down the mountain to help. With this kind of help, coupled with the strength of the Yang family itself, it is enough to become a large family within a county within ten or twenty years after Tianhao becomes a strong person."

Lin Dong nodded. If a family has descendants who are elders of the sect or descendants who are sect leaders, the difference between the two is very big. The former is at most a backer of the family. When the family encounters a crisis, they will help. The latter is a great help, and can take advantage of loopholes in the sect rules and give the family some substantial help and support.

If this descendant is not only the sect leader of the sect, but also the strong, this help is even more amazing. Not to mention anything else, the strong man who kills a family is not enough to exceed the bottom line of Tianwei Pavilion, which is enough to make the strong man's family invincible.
