《The Glory After Rebirth》C24. Ling Family Is Indomitable
Advertisement
Jia Yin woke up trembling. But later when being informed that his son was sentenced to exile and Zhang Chong also cut off the relationship with his son, he got so angry that he nearly fainted again. His son dared to tease his favorite beauty! It was such a slap on his face!
If Jia Yuanling wasn’t sentenced, Jia Yin would beat the crap out of him!
However, as soon as he was informed that Jia Yuanling would be sentenced to twenty years in exile, Jia Yin felt his heart was scooped out alive, angry and aching.
“Master, that dancer is...awake.” The steward of Jia Family said carefully while wiping the sweat.
Jia Yin’s eyes became cold as he snapped, “Kill that bitch!”
“I have locked her in the store room. Later, I will give her a bowel of poison and let her die in agony.” The steward said cruelly.
“Scratch her face and cut off her hands before she dies!”
Jia Yin struggled to sit up and then leaned heavily on the bed head with a dark face. He looked at the steward, malevolence in his eyes, “Just let her know what is living death!”
“Yes, I will do as you told, my master.” The steward replied him immediately.
“Where is my wife?”
“She just had the herbal concoction the doctor prescribed. And the doctor said she would wake up at dusk.”
Jia Yin didn’t care about his wife at all. On the contrary, he even detested her, “Ling’er was spoiled by this useless woman.”
The steward dared not to answer his words.
“Where is the Second Master? Do you call him back?”
“I have sent someone to pick up the Second Master. It estimates that he will be back by midnight.”

“How about the Mine field. Is it affected?”
“It’s fine and everything goes well. Yamen didn’t take any action to the Mine field.” Looking at Jia Yin, the steward continued, “Commander Zhang didn’t come out after returning to the Prefecture Encampment.”
Jia Yin’s face became darker when Zhang Chong was mentioned. Then he said angrily, “We gave him so much money and treasure, even selling him all the production of Mine field secretly. What’s more, I asked my son to regard him as godfather, why didn’t he save Ling’er?!”
“This......at that time, due to the public outcry, Commander Zhang was also framed to defy the law and revolt by that bastard of Ling Family. Tongpan even began to doubt Commander Zhang. Moreover, young master......admitted his guilt himself.”
Jia Yin tossed the teacup away on the table beside the bed suddenly, smashing it into pieces. Jia Yin fumed, “Useless crap!”
“How about Ling Family?”
“They went back. I heard Ling Xingzhong came back.”
“Just in time, they dared to bully our family. Then they should take the consequences!”
“Master,” the steward said carefully, “I think the priority now is to sound about Commander Zhang’s intention. We can’t lose Commander Zhang’s support.”
Jia Yin kept silent for a while with anger suppressed in his heart. Then he said, “Let the Second Master meet me the moment he comes back.”
“Yes, Master,” the steward replied.
......
As Ling Zhang recounted the whole thing, silence and anger reigned the hall of Ling Family.
Frightened by the depressing atmosphere, Ling Maomao curled himself in Ling Zhang’s arms.
“Bang!” Ling Xingzhong thumped so hard on the table that it caused the cups on the table to vibrate. He was so infuriated, “How dare such a vulgar, filthy thing plant a scheme against Ling Family?”

“Father, now the top priority is to take preventive measures, in case Zhang Chong launches any dirty attacks,” Ling Zhaowen said.
“Our Ling Family is indomitable. We have no guilty either to the king or the ancestry. Will we be afraid of that boor?” Ling Xingzhong thundered.
Ling Zhaowen was rendered a bit speechless. He thought his father had such a bad temper and was not tactful enough compared with his nephew. In the past his nephew was also quick-tempered just like his father. And there was a time when he always worried that his nephew would be bullied for his gaucheness. Fortunately, his nephew had changed, albeit in a painful way.
Ling Zhang didn’t notice Ling Zhaowen’s emotion. He knew his grandfather well. What he thought now was that since his grandfather had come back, should he mention about the thing of breaking off the engagement now?
The author has something to say:
Ling Zhang: I think it’s time to bring up the engagement breaking.
Yuwen Tong: What? Though I don’t know about the engagement, there is no way that you can break it, my dear. I’m Afraid It’s Too Late.

B's Grand Adventure
It has been two hundred years since the first contact with aliens from the planet Proxima Centauri. It has been about one hundred and ninety-eight since the Centurians and humans accidentally connected their computer systems together. That same year Centurian virus took over almost all of humanity's computers. This was right about the time a huge solar flare knocked out all communication on Earth. Some time between then and now secrets were revealed, like secret societies, where the nukes were being hidden, and, most importantly, that there were Fae, magic beings, living among humanity all this time. The Proxima Centurians eventually came to the now weakened Earth to 'check on' humanity about fifty years ago. Some say they are here to colonize what's left of the city-states and raiders alike. But now we focus on a young man who has earned the ire of a Centurian colony and a powerful half-Fae named Jormungrand. This young man has chosen the name for himself as B.

Stairway to Heaven
Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings, far too weak to survive amid the other extraterrestrials that lie dormant across the galaxies. Instead of physical altercations, they would rather engage in verbal abuse, breaking an individual's psyche as a hobby. They excel at deception and manipulation, far too interested in bringing their brothers and sisters down and reaching for the top of their self-made hierarchies. Beyond their questionable nature and moral compasses, they long to find meaning in their lives and put names to the feelings that drive each passing moment. They are insatiable—far too greedy for more knowledge and a supposed understanding of their lives. It's pitiable, really, the way they struggle to find themselves while ravaging their kind through petty wars and conflicts built off of misunderstanding. Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings. They created words and languages to fill the holes that lived inside their souls, desperate for ways to find meaning in their incredibly short lifespans. They'll waste their entire lives trying to find their so-called passions and reasons for living, acting as if they truly rule the way their lives go, supposed "controllers of their own destiny." Yet, they cannot evade the inevitable visit from death, who stands next to them, ticking the seconds down until their demise.
