30: Reborn

Looking at Ling Buyi's departing back, Ling Feng couldn't help but think to himself.

"When I first heard it, Ling Feng was completely influenced by anger, but now that I think back, my Cousin Xuanji's experiences are too similar to those of protagonists in novels I read in my previous life."

"A Family Genius, joining a Sect, a Sect martial arts tournament, being targeted by a protective Elder seeking personal revenge, his Spirit Physique destroyed, his cultivation crippled, and thus abandoned by the Sect and sent back to his Family. Yet, the Elder who acted only received some minor, inconsequential punishment..."

"All of this seems perfectly arranged, as if my Cousin Xuanji is also..."

Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but shake his head. The Ling Family already had Ling Zifan, who had an old man accompanying him, and now there was Ling Xuanji. This was too incredible.

Considering this, Ling Feng immediately instructed Ling Di, who was beside him.

"Ling Di, accompany me to Third Uncle's place to see my Cousin Xuanji."

"Yes, Family Head."

Upon hearing this, Ling Di immediately turned and cupped his fists respectfully to Ling Feng.

Seeing this, Ling Feng nodded, then strode out of the courtyard... Within the Ling Family Residence.

In a side room of a small courtyard in the inner compound, Ling Zhan and his wife stood by, looking at Ling Xuanji, who was pale and extremely weak, their faces filled with worry and heartache.

Ling Qing was carefully examining Ling Xuanji's injuries by the bed.

A moment later, Ling Qing finished his examination. After covering Ling Xuanji with the quilt, he tidied up and walked directly to Ling Zhan and his wife, speaking slowly.

"Second Elder, Young Master Xuanji's Spirit Physique is severely damaged, and his Meridians are also severed. The attacker showed no mercy. Young Master Xuanji's Qi and blood are severely depleted. I have already given him a Rejuvenation Medicinal Pill, and his life is not in danger. He just needs more rest and some Spirit Medicine to replenish his Qi and blood."

"However, if Young Master Xuanji wishes to Cultivate again, I currently have no solution."

"Thank you, Hall Master Ling. I won't say any other words of thanks. In the future, if Hall Master Ling ever needs me, Ling Zhan, just say the word. As for Xuanji, as long as his life is not in danger, my wife and I are already very satisfied. As for Cultivating again, we'll leave it to fate."

"Second Elder, you are too kind. It's my duty. We are one Family, no need for formalities."

"I will return to the Medicinal Pill Hall to prepare some blood-replenishing Spirit Medicine for Young Master Xuanji. I will then arrange for a Family Disciple to deliver it to you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Qing quickly bowed his hands in return, speaking slowly.

"Alright, then I will see Hall Master Ling out."

"Second Elder, please stay. Your son has just suffered a great calamity. You and your wife should spend more time with Young Master Xuanji."

"Alright, then I won't see you off. After my son's injuries improve, I will personally bring him to express our gratitude."

"Farewell."

After speaking, Ling Qing turned and left.

Meanwhile, Ling Zhan returned to the room. Looking at Ling Xuanji, who was pale and comforting his wife, Ling Zhan felt a pang of heartache.

"Knock knock knock... knock knock..."

Just then, a knocking sound came.

Ling Zhan quickly got up and opened the door, only to see Ling Feng leading Ling Di waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing who it was, Ling Zhan said in surprise.

"Fenger, why have you come? Quick, come in first."

"I heard from Second Uncle about Cousin Xuanji's situation, so I specifically came to see him."

"Third Uncle, Cousin Xuanji's matter will not be settled just like this. We Ling Family members are united, and we will never allow anyone to bully us like this, to trample on the dignity of our Ling Family. Sooner or later, we will make the Fengling Sect pay a heavy price."

At the same time, looking at Ling Feng entering the room, that familiar face once again awakened the memories deep within his mind.

"Little... Little Feng..."

Ling Xuanji looked at Ling Feng with a pale face, his body trembling involuntarily. Looking at the now exceptionally handsome Ling Feng, he couldn't help but lower his head in shame, muttering softly.

"Xuanji, your Eldest Uncle is currently in seclusion for some reasons. Fenger is now the Family Head of the Ling Family."

"Xuanji greets the Family Head."

Upon hearing his father's words, Ling Xuanji immediately forced himself to cup his hands and bow to Ling Feng.

"No, there's no need for such formality between us brothers. When we were little, I was always tagging along after you!"

Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly stepped forward, grasping Ling Xuanji's hands, and said with a smile.

"Feeling the warmth from the palms and the constant childhood memories flooding his mind, Ling Xuanji's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes."

"Recalling his own misfortunes and remembering how he told Ling Feng when they were children that he would protect him in the future, but now he had become like this, he lowered his head in shame once more."

Seeing this, Ling Feng patted Ling Xuanji's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Cousin Xuanji, you must pull yourself together. Your enemies are still at large."

After speaking, Ling Feng immediately took out a Medicinal Pill bottle from his System backpack and handed it to Ling Xuanji.

"This is a Three-Revolutions Nirvana Medicinal Pill. It can repair your damaged Meridians and Spirit Physique, and even, to a certain extent, allow your previous Spirit Physique to undergo a further transformation."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuanji did not hesitate. After taking the Medicinal Pill bottle, he immediately poured out the Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

At this time, Ling Feng also took the Opportunity to use the System to scan Ling Xuanji and check his information.

"Name: Ling Xuanji."

"Cultivation: Crippled. (Original Cultivation: Profound Martial Realm Early Stage.)"

"Talent: Peerless."

"Physique: Crippled (Original Physique: Spirit-grade Green Python Battle Physique.)"

"Luck: Red (Reborn, in his previous life, after his Spirit Physique and all his cultivation were crippled by a Sect Elder, he returned to the Ling Family and lived in a daze for two or three years. Later, because the Ling Family was destroyed by the Limitless Sect, he narrowly escaped death and wandered the Jianghu. By chance, he stumbled into the Legacy grounds of an ancient Great Emperor and obtained his Legacy. After his cultivation was successful, he immediately slaughtered the Limitless Sect, the culprit behind the destruction of the Ling Family. Later, in pursuit of a Breakthrough, he explored a peerless ominous place alone, where he obtained a Heaven-Defying Magic Treasure, but unfortunately, he also perished there. Fortunately, the Heaven-Defying Magic Treasure he obtained protected a trace of his true spirit and allowed it to enter Reincarnation. During Ling Xuanji's return journey this time, he encountered a sudden thunderstorm, and this trace of true spirit fused with him. He will completely Awaken his memories of his previous life in three days.)"

After reading Ling Xuanji's information, Ling Feng was now completely certain.

His Cousin Xuanji was another Son of Destiny, no less than his Cousin Zifan, possessing a lifetime of experience, a Great Emperor's Legacy, and a Heaven-Defying Magic Treasure.

This was simply a fully maxed-out configuration...
