Chapter 742: Inner Demons
No one knew what Old Master Gong and the great leader had talked about.
Then, not long after, orders were secretly sent to various organizations.
After an unknown period of time, all the organizations and personnel in various places were reborn. When they appeared in front of the entire world on National Day, it simply shocked all the countries.
Of course, these were matters for the future.
...
Old Master Gong looked at the pails of spiritual spring water appearing in front of him. He looked worriedly at Xiao Ling, whose little face was a little pale, and asked very concernedly, “Ling ‘Er, are you really alright?”
Xiao Ling shook his head and said very seriously, “Great-grandfather, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry!”
Old Master Gong looked at the empty buckets in front of him that were filled one after another, and Xiao Ling’s face seemed to have turned even paler. In the end, he really couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Yu ‘Er, that’s enough. If you continue, Ling ‘Er...” He couldn’t say anything. He felt like they were really too selfish towards Xiao Ling.
Were they going to sacrifice Xiao Ling to the country?
Xiao Lingyu saw Xiao Ling’s pale face and couldn’t bring herself to continue either.
She squatted down and picked Xiao Ling up. She said to Xiao Ling, “Ling ‘Er, are you okay?”
Xiao Ling smiled and said, “Mommy, don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m just a little weak now. I’ll recover soon.”
Old Master Gong immediately thought of the raw stones and stood up. “No, I have to ask when the raw stones will be transported over. Otherwise, how can Ling ‘Er endure this?” He walked to contact that person.
Gong Tianhao also looked at Xiao Ling worriedly and said, “Yu ‘Er, let Xiao Ling return to the farming space now!”
Xiao Lingyu reacted and said, “Yes, Xiao Ling, you should return to the farming space to rest for a while.”
Xiao Ling did not reject and nodded lightly. “Okay!”
Then, he disappeared into Xiao Lingyu’s embrace.
Xiao Letong, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly said to Xiao Lingyu, “Mommy, I’m very worried about brother Ling. Can I go to the farming space to accompany him?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, go!”
Then, Xiao Letong disappeared in front of everyone.
Of course, there was only family around. Those servants and bodyguards had all been sent away. Xiao Lingyu provided the country with spring water. Only one person knew about this. Based on his character, he would keep this secret.
After the two children disappeared, Xiao Lingyu’s expression immediately became a little downcast.
Gong Tianhao stepped forward and hugged her shoulders, letting her head rest in his embrace.
Xiao Lingyu said in a muffled voice, “Tianhao, am I being too selfish? I had never considered Ling ‘Er before. If I knew this would happen, I...”
Xiao Lingyu choked, “I should have asked Xiao Ling first. Now, we’ve promised to supply millions with spring water. Even if each person only drinks a drop, that’d still add up to tens of thousands of barrels! That would take half of Xiao Ling’s life!”
But since they had already promised, they couldn’t refuse.
Gong Tianhao was silent for a moment before saying, “Yu ‘Er, return this water back into the space!”
Xiao Lingyu raised her head, “...”
Gong Tianhao said very seriously, “Right now, the most important thing is my family. This is not the solution. We have to come up with something else.”
Gong Tianhao never thought that this was a good idea, to begin with.
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment before saying, “This... Is that a good idea? If we go back on our words, won’t that person be angry?”
Gong Tianhao said, “That person has always placed the bigger picture first. He should understand that we can’t exhaust our source. This can’t work long-term!”
As he said this, Old master Gong walked back into the room and looked around. He asked, “Where’s Ling ‘Er?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “In the space!”
Elder Gong nodded and said, “Yu ‘Er, I agree with Hao ‘Er. Previously, we didn’t think things through and didn’t ask for Ling ‘Er’s opinion. We’ve made the rash decision on our own. This might affect Ling Er’s life. We definitely have to think things through.” He paused for a moment, then continued, “I’ve already reported this to that person. According to him, he’ll try to send the jade stones as soon as possible so that Xiao Ling can replenish his energy while providing the spring water.”
Xiao Lingyu’s eyes immediately lit up, and then she said happily, “Ah, that’s great.”
Then, she poured most of the water back into the farming space. She left only ten buckets behind. Then, she said, “Grandpa, let’s transport these ten buckets of water over first. Everyone only needs to drink a small spoon. These ten buckets of water should be enough to strengthen tens of thousands of people.”
Old Master Gong asked hesitantly, “How big of an impact will these ten buckets of water have on Xiao Ling?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Not much.”
Old Master Gong nodded and said, “I’ll get someone to transport it away now!”
No one said anything about how things came about.
After the things were transported away, Gong Tianhao said directly, “In the future, we’ll only provide them with water if they send us raw stones! Otherwise, no deal!”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay!” Then, she said, “Luckily, Xiao Ling found a way to replenish his energy. Otherwise, I would have killed him!” She blamed herself so much.
Gong Tianhao comforted her, “You can’t be blamed for this. We were all thoughtless. Yu ‘Er, don’t worry. I will immediately mobilize all the jade that has been found.”
Xiao Lingyu said excitedly, “Tianhao, thank you!”
Gong Tianhao stroked the hair on his forehead and said with a doting smile, “Silly, we’re husband and wife. There’s no need to thank me. I also treat Xiao Ling as my own son. I love him as much as I love our son. As a father, I naturally don’t want anything to happen to my son.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes.”
In the space, Xiao Letong looked at Xiao Ling, who was lying in the spring pool, and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Xiao Ling shook his head gently and said, “I’m fine. I was just a little uncomfortable just now, but I’m much better now!”
When he said this, there was still some worry between his brows. He said, “Brother, do mommy and Daddy not want me anymore?”
Xiao Letong asked in confusion, “Why would you ask that?”
Xiao Ling’s two thumbs rubbed together, looking a little nervous. He said, “It’s them... they...”
He mumbled for a long time, but he couldn’t finish a sentence.
Xiao Letong understood what he meant. He said, “Are you sad that they have never asked for your opinion before doing something like this?”
Xiao Tong cursed internally, ‘This is not good. This is the sign of the surfacing of an inner demon. If this is not dealt with in time, it will have a great impact on Xiao Ling’s cultivation.’
Xiao Letong lightly patted his head and was a little regretful. He was too careless and did not realize that there was a problem with Xiao Ling.
If he had discovered this problem earlier, he would have been able to solve it in time.
The reason why Xiao Ling had an inner demon was that Xiao Lingyu had basically sold him out. She agreed to this without asking for his opinion.
Xiao Ling fell silent after hearing Xiao Letong’s question.
Silence meant acquiescence!
This was really bad!
Xiao Letong thought to himself, ‘Even though I’m an almighty cultivator in the world of cultivators, I don’t know how to deal with inner demons.’
“Xiao Ling, how can you think like that?” Xiao Letong suddenly shouted, “Mommy and Daddy didn’t do it on purpose. They are just ordinary people and don’t know that this spring water is connected to your existence. Now that they do, they are burdened by heavy guilt. They will definitely make up for their own mistakes. Don’t let your imagination run wild anymore!”
Xiao Ling lay in the pool and nodded lightly. “Yes, brother is right. I know Master likes me.”
However, Xiao Letong saw a wisp of black gas float out of the pool.
He pointed with his small hand, and the black gas immediately dissipated. However, his small brows furrowed.
