Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Unfortunately, My Surname is Ling

"To clear your suspicions, someone will use special methods to scrutinize you. Just wait for it."

Summer Jiuyou arranged this.

The special method he spoke of was naturally Master Xu’s Illusion Realm technique.

Qin Shi, Su Su, Zi Lingyang, and the others all underwent the scrutiny, but none found out Ling Chen’s identity.

"Zhou Tian Trading Company has a close connection with Ling Chen, look into it."

Summer Jiuyou commanded once more.

Zhou Tian, Zhou Tiantang and others were also brought in for examination.

Still fruitless.

When Zhou Tian and Zhou Tiantang heard that Ling Chen was a rebel from the Dark Night, they were of course tremendously shocked.

Zhou Tian directly confessed his collaboration with Ling Chen.

Summer Jiuyou was also very shocked after knowing this.

Ling Chen actually had such an Elixir.

It was known that he had caught many from the Dark Night before.

However, the various Elixirs they used were almost the same as those used by common Cultivators in Great Xia.

How did Ling Chen possess such Elixir recipes?

"Zhou Tian, terminate your collaboration with Ling Chen, and hand over the Elixir recipe to me."

Summer Jiuyou said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Tian replied respectfully.

To draw a clear line with Ling Chen, he must take the initiative to confess.

If later on Summer Jiuyou found out about it, he feared that his Zhou Tian Trading Company would be directly eradicated by Summer Jiuyou.

Compared to Spirit Stones, obviously, the Zhou family’s lives were more important.

Having obtained the Elixir recipe, Summer Jiuyou felt slightly relieved.

At least it wasn’t for nothing.

Two days later.

The investigators sent to the Ling family in Guangling City returned.

"Your Majesty, all members of Guangling City’s Ling family have disappeared."

The Divine Guard reported.

"Not a single person left?"

Summer Jiuyou inquired.

"Yes, the Ling Family is completely deserted. I asked the nearby residents, and there were no traces of the Ling family’s departure. It seems they were relocated by the people of the Dark Night."

The Divine Guard hurriedly explained.

"I understand, you may leave."

Summer Jiuyou waved his hand.

The investigation over the past few days has made almost no progress.

What’s certain now is that Ling Wu, Ye Zhenzhen, and Lin Xiaodu, along with the Ling family, have disappeared.

He sent people to investigate the background of these individuals again.

He found that the families of these individuals were also unaware of the situation.

That is to say, almost no one knew about Ling Chen being from the Dark Night.

If not for Ling Chen revealing himself, they would never have known.

...

Dark Night.

Dark Night City.

There is a side hall to the southwest of the main hall.

This is the residence of the Young Master.

Now, only Ling Chen, Ling Wu, and Ling Tianxing live here.

Others were not people of the Dark Night, naturally, they could not stay here.

Given Ling Wu’s talent, she naturally joined the Dark Night with ease.

Besides, with a Young Master big brother like Ling Chen to back her?

These few days, the three had always been together.

Reunited after a long separation, they especially cherished their time together.

"Xiao Wu, since you call Chen Er your brother, then stop calling me sir. Call me foster father."

Ling Tianxing said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Ling Wu responded with a sweet smile.

Ling Tianxing then looked at Ling Chen and asked, "Chen Er, did you discover the secret of your constitution yourself, or did someone else tell you?"

"Father, you know about my special constitution?"

Ling Chen was surprised.

"Yes, you possess what’s called the Night Moon Saint Body, right? Your mother told me about it, didn’t she?"

Ling Tianxing smiled and said.

"Yes!"

Ling Chen’s eyes widened.

He then looked at Ling Tianxing excitedly, "Father, then what about my mother?"

In his memory, he had never seen his mother.

As a child, he had asked his father numerous times, but his father would always change the subject.

And now, his mother actually knew about his special physique, doesn’t that mean his mother is also a powerful being?

After all, even King Xia didn’t know about his physique.

If his mother was so powerful, why would she let his father get captured and remain indifferent?

Ling Tianxing gave a bitter smile, "I don’t know either."

"After she gave birth to you, she disappeared. I have searched for her many times, but to no avail."

Ling Tianxing seemed to fall into a recollection.

"Mother disappeared?"

Ling Chen murmured.

Ling Tianxing looked at Ling Chen and said, "Chen Er, do you know? Your mother chose your name. She told me that she hoped you would lead an ordinary life, just like a normal person, and not become a cultivator. Your name ’Chen’ means dust. She wanted you to be as ordinary as dust."

"Why?"

Ling Chen asked.

Which parent wouldn’t want their child to be successful? Yet his parents wanted him to be ordinary.

"I’m not sure,"

Ling Tianxing said, "Originally, she left behind a Jade Scroll that could seal your special physique when you were fourteen. But then, my physique was discovered by King Xia and there was simply no time."

"Now, you have become a Spiritual Power Practitioner. That Jade Scroll has been lost. Even if it were still here, it would probably be useless for you now."

Ling Chen gave a wry smile, "Perhaps this is the will of heaven! Mother named me Chen, but sadly my surname is Ling. Ling Chen, that means to rise above the dust, to dominate beyond a lifetime."

He didn’t know what his mother meant.

But since fate had such an arrangement, there must be some reason.

"Well said!"

Ling Tianxing clapped and laughed loudly.

A touch of excitement could be seen in his eyes.

"Brother, so you possess the Night Moon Saint Body! What effects does that physique have?"

Ling Wu asked with a smile.

Ling Chen replied, "You should know some of it. This physique means I can only cultivate at night and am unable to cultivate during the day."

"Oh, no wonder!"

Ling Wu nodded.

When Ling Chen first awakened, it happened during the day.

That’s why he showed no talent for cultivation.

Yet Ling Chen’s cultivation speed was not inferior to hers, making her suspect that Ling Chen might have a Sacred Body.

Now that the adoptive father revealed Ling Chen’s physique, she then understood.

Her brother indeed possessed a Sacred Body, of the same tier as hers.

"Adoptive father, can you guess what special physique I have?"

Ling Wu stared at Ling Tianxing and smiled.

Ling Tianxing shook his head and smiled, "I don’t know, let me guess, is it a top-tier Super Spiritual Body?"

Now having lost all his cultivation, he could not sense Ling Wu’s exact level of power.

Naturally, he could not guess.

"I have the Ice and Fire Saint Body!"

Ling Wu said with immense pride.

"Ice and Fire Saint Body?"

Ling Tianxing was utterly stunned.

After a long while, he gave a bitter smile, "I really am lucky! To have a son with a Sacred Body and to have adopted a daughter with a Sacred Body as well!"

The side hall was filled with joy and harmony.

"Chen Er, now you are also a strong cultivator. If there is a chance to leave the Great Xia Dynasty, try to look for your mother if possible."

Ling Tianxing looked at Ling Chen very seriously.

"Okay."

Ling Chen nodded, "Father, did mother leave behind any clues?"

With the Great Xia Dynasty being so vast, with so many cultivators, and even more he’ll face in the future, without any information, he wouldn’t recognize his mother even if she stood right in front of him!

"There isn’t."

Ling Tianxing shook his head, "Your mother left in a great hurry, only instructing me not to let you practice cultivation."

"I’ll do my best."

Ling Chen nodded.

Now that he had rescued his father, he indeed wanted to find his mother for a family reunion.

Sadly, without any information about his mother, it all depended on luck.
