166: Chapter 166 Teaching Hall

As Jian Yi and the others’ loud and incomparable greetings rang out, Ling Buyi, who had been shocked by Ling Feng’s words and hadn't recovered for a long time, finally snapped out of his astonishment.

Looking at the people respectfully saluting him, Ling Buyi quickly stood up, cupped his fists, and returned the greeting.

“There’s no need to be so polite, everyone, please be seated!”

“Thank you, Grand Elder!”

Receiving Ling Buyi’s return greeting, Jian Yi and the others immediately thanked him in unison again.

Then, they all took their seats once more.

Seeing this, Ling Buyi immediately began to tease Ling Feng, who was seated in the main position.

“Feng’er, you always create such grand displays that catch your Second Uncle completely off guard. Your Second Uncle can’t handle being tossed around like this.”

Although his words were full of complaints and teasing towards Ling Feng, the broad smile on his face had already betrayed him. His heart was filled with wild joy.

“I never imagined that my Ling Family could grow to such an extent in such a short period, even having Venerable Martial Realm experts guarding it.”

“That’s the Venerable Martial Realm! Even within the entire Northern Region, there are probably only a handful of forces with such powerful existences at the Venerable Martial Realm.”

…However, Ling Feng was completely unaware of Ling Buyi’s inner thoughts at this moment. But after hearing Ling Buyi’s words, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel playful, and immediately said with an air of boastfulness:

“Second Uncle, these are all standard operations now. You’ll have to get used to them.”

“Hahahahaha…”

…”You rascal!”

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Ling Buyi immediately sent a secret message to Ling Feng, asking:

“Feng’er, although the addition of these experts to the Ling Family can greatly help the Family rise rapidly, can their loyalty be guaranteed? Otherwise, if these experts have any ulterior motives, it will be a catastrophe for the Family.”

“Of course, Feng’er has his own Opportunity, and I’m not asking where these people came from. After all, everyone has their own unique secrets.”

“Your Second Uncle doesn’t have much ability, and can only do his best to help you handle some Family matters.”

Hearing Ling Buyi’s secret message, Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered. When he looked up at Ling Buyi beside him, he saw that Ling Buyi was also looking at him.

Their eyes met.

Ling Feng immediately replied secretly through a message:

“Second Uncle, don’t worry, I can guarantee that these people are absolutely loyal to me.”

Ling Buyi, who received Ling Feng’s secret reply, also subtly nodded without a change in expression… Afterwards, Ling Feng no longer concealed anything and immediately stated the purpose of asking Ling Buyi to come.

“Second Uncle, there are two matters that need you to handle.”

As soon as Ling Feng mentioned specific arrangements, Ling Buyi immediately put away his smile, his face serious, awaiting Ling Feng’s detailed instructions.

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly, saying with a smile:

“Second Uncle, these are not major issues, there’s no need to be so serious.”

However, Ling Buyi remained unmoved, his face still serious.

Seeing this, Ling Feng no longer hesitated and immediately spoke of all the matters.

“Second Uncle, the first matter is this group of people I just introduced to you: five Formation Masters, five Alchemists, and five Artifact Refiners. You will later take them to the Family’s Pill Hall, Artifact Hall, and Formation Hall, respectively, and hand them over to the heads of the three halls.”

“The second matter is that I want to establish a new hall within the Family, named the Teaching Hall, specifically responsible for the teaching of Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, and other educational matters for the Family Disciples. Ling Xi and the other ten will be the first batch of instructors for the Teaching Hall. Additionally, the Teaching Hall will temporarily be presided over by Ling Xi.”

“As for Jian Yi, who is left, his arrangement is to enter the Honored Guest Pavilion and serve as an honored guest for my Ling Family, temporarily following me for deployment.”

As Ling Feng’s words fell, the serious-faced Ling Buyi immediately stood up, respectfully cupped his fists, and responded to Ling Feng:

“Yes, Family Head.”

After speaking, he immediately addressed Ling Xi and the others:

“Everyone, please follow this old man.”

Having said that, he then led the way, walking quickly out of the main hall.

Seeing this, Ling Xi and the others respectfully cupped their fists to Ling Feng, then quickly followed Ling Buyi, their figures disappearing from the main hall within a few breaths.

“Family Head, we shall take our leave!”

…After Ling Buyi and Ling Xi’s figures disappeared from the main hall, Ling Feng immediately withdrew his gaze and slowly spoke to Ling Di, who was beside him, instructing:

“Ling Di, take Jian Yi to settle down.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

Receiving Ling Feng’s instructions, Ling Di immediately came to the center of the main hall and respectfully responded.

“Jian Yi, you go with Ling Di. He will arrange everything. Get some good rest these past few days. It won’t be long before I will need you to accompany me on a trip outside.”

Looking at Ling Di in front of him, Ling Feng immediately turned his head to look at Jian Yi beside him, and said calmly:

“Yes, Family Head.”

Seeing this, Ling Di quickly came to Jian Yi’s side, cupped his fists respectfully, and said:

“Honored Guest Jian, please come this way.”

…Jian Yi first glanced at Ling Di in front of him, then cupped his fists to Ling Feng, who was in the main seat, and bid farewell.

“Family Head, this subordinate takes his leave!”

Hearing this, Ling Feng did not say anything more, simply waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

Immediately, Jian Yi no longer hesitated, turned around, and quickly followed Ling Di, walking swiftly out of the main hall.

However, just as the two of them had taken only a few steps, Ling Feng, as if suddenly remembering something, immediately called out to Ling Di:

“Ling Di.”

As Ling Feng’s voice sounded, the two immediately stopped. Ling Di was the first to turn around and respectfully asked Ling Feng:

“Does the Family Head have any other instructions?”

“Later, after you settle Jian Yi, you can stop by the City Lord’s Mansion and notify Ling Lie and Ling Wang to come over. I will be waiting for them in the small courtyard; I have something to instruct.”

Seeing this, Ling Feng did not drag things out and immediately gave his instructions directly.

“Yes, Family Head!”

…”You may leave.”

Upon receiving Ling Di’s reply, Ling Feng waved his hand again and said indifferently:

Ling Di immediately led Jian Yi away quickly, their figures disappearing within a few breaths.

Looking at the empty main hall, Ling Feng did not linger either. His figure flickered, and he too disappeared from the main seat of the main hall in an instant…
