The Rebirth of the Legendary King
Humble and Not Arrogant

He was a Zhuo Shiaonian. Shi's family had to beg him to save someone. In fact, they will not necessarily be helped. However, when Zhuo Shiaonian faced Ling, Zhuo Shiaonian seemed to be cornered.

Outside, not only Madam Shi, but the people from the Shi Family who were there were also curious. They had never heard of the famous Chen surname. So, they don't really care. Not even Shi Jiu. However, they did not expect it to turn out that Ling's identity was very secretive.

Hearing his mother's question, Shi Jiu only shook his head slowly. But his eyes never left the house. He saw for himself that Ling was very familiar with Zhuo Shiaonian. Even though he didn't hear what they were talking about, he didn't care. Now, his entire focus was on the house in front of him.

No one knew what Ling was doing inside. But they were still waiting for him.

Two hours later, the door finally opened.

Chen Yuai was the first to advance. He looked at Ling anxiously and expectantly. He asked, "Young Master Chen, how is he?"

Ling was wiping his hands with a tissue. He replied casually, "It's almost done. Ask someone to come to the Xiao Family later. Tell them to give you the KKR-9 virus. If he drank it, he could wake up in three days. Remember, the sooner, the better."

"Ah, I almost forgot," after Ling gave the order, she almost forgot the important thing. He immediately took out a wooden block from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yuai.

"Take this and show it to the Xiao Family" Ling said. After that, he turned around to check on the patient.

After making sure the patient's condition was very stable, he came out again. He said, "I'm going to sleep. Just remember not to bother me, okay?"

Then he turned around and went back to his room. There were dozens of people present, but no one dared to stop him. They could only see his figure gradually disappearing from their sight.

After Ling completely disappeared from their sight, the others immediately excitedly talked about Ling. Since Shi Jiu and Chen Yuai were bringing him back from the mountain, they asked the two people.

"I don't know," Chen Yuai replied as he shook his head. He stared at the confused wooden block in his hand.

He had indeed seen Ling carve this block of wood while on the mountain. However, at that time he only thought that Ling was bored.

As elder Shi saw the mark on the wooden block, his eyes twinkled, "Didn't Young Master Chen tell you to meet the people in the Xiao Family? Come on, get going! It was possible that the people from the Xiao Family knew him and he could really heal!"

Shi Jiu was also somewhat affected. He immediately prepared to go to the Xiao Family. They don't want to delay anymore. After all, Ling said that the faster, the better.

The elders and guards wanted to come with him, but he did not want to. Only an elder and a few guards could accompany him. After all, the Shi Family still needed people to take care of them.

Because of this rejection, the people felt disappointed, but in the next second they tried to calm down. The current situation of the Shi Family was indeed not good. So, it's best that only a few people leave.

The group that was sent after arriving at the Xiao Family.

The moment they arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Family, the people there were busy cleaning up, as if they were going to do a big event.

"You must be Young Miss Shi," said the people from the Xiao Family who knew Shi Jiu as Mr. Shangxuan's oldest disciple. Their tone was very respectful.

"The big man from the Xiao Family is coming. Family Head Xiao ordered us to greet him kindly," the person said.

If it was then, the Shi Family would definitely be curious. But right now they are in danger. So, they don't care about that big guy.

The group met the manager of the Xiao Family. She was as busy as Young Miss and Family Head Xiao. He was in the lab every day. How can he have time to meet other people?

However, upon hearing the goal of the Shi Family, Manager Xiao's expression instantly changed. He frowned and stared intently at elder Shi, "How did you know about the KKR-9 virus?"

It was something that had just been developed by their family.

Seeing Manager Xiao's expression, elder Shi frowned. This was very different from Ling's actions.

Last time, Ling said this so confidently, that he thought Ling was great. However, as he looked at Manager Xiao's sharp gaze, he did not seem to recognize this block of wood. Elder Shi thought hard.

Not only him, Shi Jiu also felt somewhat doubtful.

Manager Xiao's expression looked even more serious, "This matter is related to our family secrets. Miss Shi, please wait a moment. And as for the young man who gave you that information, immediately take him to the Xiao Family."

It was obvious that this matter would not end peacefully. Just as Shi Jiu was about to speak, someone walked in. It seemed like it was the elder of the Xiao Family.

"Bring someone? What happened to Miss Shi?" ask the elder.

The manager who saw if it was the elder of their family, he immediately bowed and replied respectfully, "Chairman, the information about our KKR-9 virus has leaked out. The one who gave this block of wood was the mastermind. I can arrest and interrogate him."

He took out the wooden beam that elder Shi had given him earlier.

Upon hearing if it turned out to be about the KKR-9 virus, the elder's expression turned serious. However, upon receiving that block of wood, his hands trembled violently.

"Elder?" the manager tried to wake him up.

The elder jumped back in surprise. He said angrily, "What do you mean 'old'? Get to the lab! Take the KKR-9 virus and hand it over to Miss Shi. Caught her? Do you still want to stay in the Xiao Family?!"

*

The group from the Shi Family that was sent to the Xiao Family had already returned.

The people there focused on the wooden box Shi Jiu had brought. On top of the box was engraved the word 'Xiao'.

Everyone is silent.

Right now, the people who were still talking about Ling, now they did not dare to continue anymore. When they looked towards Ling's room, they immediately felt goosebumps.

A few moments later.

The invitation from the Xiao Family arrived. It was an invitation delivered directly by elder Xiao. There are two invitations. One for the Shi Family and another for Ling.

"Our Young Miss is still in seclusion and cannot meet Young Master Chen directly" Elder Xiao said.

The elder had already drunk two glasses of tea. Before he left, he questioned the thing that he had been holding back on since, "Young Miss Shi, where is Young Master Chen?"

"He's on a break. He went with us last night and there was no sleep. If you want to see it, I will ...," Shi Jiu replied gently as he glanced at the invitation on the table.

"Not necessary, not necessary. Since Young Master Chen is resting, let him rest in peace. Don't bother him," said elder Zhuo. When he found out that Ling was resting, elder Xiao immediately stood up and waved his hand. Then, he left.

Shi Jiu was not surprised at all.

As he was in the Xiao Family earlier, he could feel if this elder seemed to be afraid of Ling.

When Shi Jiu turned around, he saw his aunt who was so thin entering the house. He dashed straight towards Ling's room as if he hadn't seen Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu immediately withdrew his hand, "What are you going to do?"

"Young Master Chen could save a guard. He could save my son too. I will ask her to save my son," said Aunt Chen grabbing Shi Jiu's hand. His eyes were hopeful.

However, Shi Jiu suddenly recalled the first time he came to the Shi Family. Ling once checked his cousin's pulse.

"Auntie, when Young Master Chen wants to check on the cousin, did you stop him?" ask Shi Jiu.

Aunt Chen who remembered this instantly froze.

Thinking of this, Aunt Chen lowered his head.

Shi Jiu knew if his guess was correct. He said, "Wait until Young Master Chen wakes up. I'll help you explain, but don't get your hopes up."

"You are his cousin! Who wouldn't want to save his cousin?" the woman gripped Shi Jiu's arm very tightly.

"You're the one who brought it to the Shi Family. If you talk to him, how could he not save your cousin! Do you want a cousin to die so you can inherit the Shi Family?!" said the woman with reddened eyes.

"Auntie!" Shi Jiu never expected to hear that remark from his own aunt. The people who were there who heard this were also dumbfounded.

Shi Jiu tried to calm himself down by taking a deep breath. Then, he said, "Young Master Chen is my Master's guest. He had saved someone and the entire Shi Family."

However, Aunt Chen ignored him. He just glanced at her and left.

This made the guards even more vigilant. They immediately watched Aunt Chen for fear that he would actually do something stupid.

The Shi Family was divided into two tiers. The entire Shi Family had a different identity. Shi Jiu focused on potions. And the real power, actually, was in his cousin's hands.

*

When Auntie Chen returned to her home, she met some people she trusted.

After hearing Aunt Chen's story, one of them couldn't help themselves. He frowned and said, "He would rather save the guard of the second Young Miss than save the first Young Master? It's outrageous! Second Young Miss obviously has bad intentions!"

Aunt Chen again sneered, "They are still trying to oppress us, widows and orphans."

"That guy's name is Chen Ling? I've never heard of him before" said someone while thinking.

Not only him, the others had never heard of Ling either.

"Let's meet this young man we're talking about. Why don't we just tie him up to take care of our Young Master? Does he think we're dead?!" a burly man slammed the table with emotion.

The moment the others heard this, their hearts grew hotter. The emotions in their heads are increasing. If the first Young Master died, then they would have to rely on the second Young Miss. This is not what they planned.

"Don't" said one of the elders who had been deep in thought. When he heard their decision, he immediately raised his hand.

"Don't mess with him. I don't think this problem is simple. Chen is indeed not a big surname, but did you guys forget the big incident that happened in Shadow City a year ago? Fearfully, this Young Master Chen is the same young man," said the elder explaining his concern.

"Shadow Town?" others just glanced at him and did not listen.

They immediately gathered their men and went towards Ling's room. They brought almost all the guards they had.

*

Inside the room, Ling was already awake.

Right now, he was making a video call with A Shui whom he had not contacted for a long time.

A Shui was in the Thousand Dharma City against the backdrop of a snow-white wall behind him. He had also heard the commotion outside related to Ling's name.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is someone out there trying to bother you?"

Ling glanced at the open window. When he heard A Shui's question, he hummed casually.

"Is there a problem? Do you want us to move?" ask A Shui seriously.

However, before Ling could reply, Mei Mengyi entered the video. She wiggled her beautiful hair.

"Sadly, someone actually dared to offend you. They must be crazy!" said Mei Mengyi.

When Ling left last year, he shocked the whole country. For half a year, they didn't dare to be too flashy.

Everyone was busy investigating someone named Ling X, so Ling's departure wasn't the center of attention.

Ling waved his hand, "No, no. Let them do what they want."

A Shui pushed Mei Mengyi from the front of the camera. He doesn't care about those people. Instead, he asked about something else, "When are you going to come back? The people of the city have been waiting for you for a long time."

Then, A Shui smiled, "When you return later, I will definitely take you around the new city."

"By the way, I've never heard of the name 'City of a Thousand Dharma'. Are you being humble and not arrogant?" ask Ling knocking on the table.

"It's not that simple. We are waiting for you to return," replied A Shui shaking his head and looking at Ling seriously.

Ling was a bit surprised.

A Shui quickly changed the subject, "The Bo family sent two people to invite you to the annual meeting, but we rejected them. That Bo Yushen also sent someone to invite you."

"Not only that," Mei Mengyi's voice sounded again.

"They also laughed at you for not daring to go back to the Bo Family to accept reality. Cih, are you going back this time? The meeting will be held in two months. The Bo family is really constantly inviting you" Mei Mengyi continued.

Ling chuckled, "Because they've bothered to invite us, we should have come."

However, he was also very much looking forward to seeing what the Thousand Dharma City was like. Also, Yuan and the others had to settle the matter there first.

Thinking of this, Ling ended the video call. He turned to look at the commotion outside the room.

*

Outside, it was Chen Yuai who was dealing with Aunt Chen.

"Let Young Master Chen come out! He just needs to save my son," Aunt Chen shouted loudly. He looked at Chen Yuai arrogantly and tried to suppress her with his aura.

Chen Yuai stayed next to Ling, of course he heard this commotion. He went out and approached Aunt Chen.

"Who do you think you are? Back then, Young Master Chen was willing to help you just because he did not have the heart," Chen Yuai replied grinning.

It was fine if Aunt Chen spoke well, but now he wanted to use a weapon to force Ling. Chen Yuai could not just ignore this.

"Because you insist, don't blame us for acting any further!" said Aunt Chen who no longer wanted to waste time talking to Chen Yuai.

He waved his hand, ordering his men to move.

Chen Yuai frowned. He's getting ready to put a nuclear weapon in his pocket. He knew, when this thing came out, someone would feel intimidated.

But now the door is open.

The person from inside the room walked out against the light. The moment the person who wanted to attack him saw him, that person immediately reached out to grab him. However, a streak of silver light pierced through and froze his hand.

Ling reached out to strangle the person. He narrowed his eyes, "Only level five, but you dare to be arrogant in front of me? Are you looking to die?"
