I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Ling PingAn sat on the chair and looked at the four in front of him, talking about everything.

It felt like…

He couldn’t get along with them!

They were talking about business and policies.

They were either discussing this year’s election, the Gonghe party and the Datong Party’s respective countermeasures.

In short, these were all topics that Ling PingAn wasn’t very interested in.

So, he couldn’t help but want to yawn.

It was out of politeness that he didn’t leave immediately.

The phone in his pocket rang just in time.

So, he stood up and said apologetically to the others, “I’m sorry, I have to take this call…”

“Go ahead!” Wang Shan nodded with a smile, but he didn’t pay much attention to this little young master.

Because he was so ordinary.

So ordinary that if he was in a crowd, it was impossible to recognize him at the first moment!

So, Ling PingAn stood up and walked forward.

Meow!

The little cat that had been lying down under the chair followed immediately.

“Little brother…” Wang Shan looked at Zhang Fengxiao who seemed to be in a daze. “What are you looking at? Why are you in a daze?”

Zhang Fengxiao shook his head and said with a smile, “Nothing!”

However, the figure of the kitten that had just followed him kept appearing in his mind.

A cat, a strange cat?

He could feel that the cat seemed to have a special feeling.

However, this feeling was very minimal.

“Maybe it’s a spiritual cat…” he thought, “It’s probably left behind by the ancestors of the Ling family…”

That could be the only explanation.

After all, the Ling family had been able to convince so many families previously, so there must be something extraordinary about it.

However, this generation was bringing it down.

Their only bloodline was an ordinary mortal.

He had no psionic power, nor was there anything special about him!

Zhang Fengxiao was a little emotional when he thought about this.

Those who were once held great power had become so ordinary after they lost their power.

In the world, there was no eternal and powerful family!

The only eternal world would have existed!

It was the same since ancient times!

Wang Shan said, “Our Young Master has some spirit…”

Wang Xiao also said with a smile, “Yes! He has his strength of character!”

Wang Yi also nodded.

Unfortunately, the strength of character was worth nothing since ancient times.

Especially the strength of the common people!

Tao Yuanming could leave his name in history for nothing, but that was because he was a well-known scholar.

If he was not a well-known scholar but a farmer, then what he would receive would not be praise but ridicule.

Under the same scenario, some people would get compliments from it, but some would get despised.

It was also like how a famous person who wrote a wrong word would say that it was a fake word. But if it was an ordinary person who wrote the wrong word, it would be a pure misspelling.

That was the reason. “Sometimes, the strength of an ordinary person can only bring misfortune…” Zhang Fengxiao thought of this sentiment he had read in a certain novel and sighed.

It seemed that the young master of the Ling family might be harmed by his pride and strength.

Think about it, with so many people sitting here, any one of them could help him directly to boost his business.

However, because of his pride and strength of character, he was unwilling to speak about it.

To be honest, no one would be foolish enough to take the initiative to help a stranger whom they had only met a few times.

Even if this person was the leader of the family that used to be incomparable — wasn’t that means they looking for troubles?

……

Ling PingAn walked to the entrance of the courtyard. He took out his phone to take a look, and his expression became interesting.

400100, Federal Empire’s committee for the children of Meritorious Service.

He picked up the call helplessly.

“Hello…” an unfamiliar female voice came from the other end. “I’m calling from the Office of the Federal Empire’s Committee for the children of Meritorious Service…”

“I would like to specially inform you that the Imperial Commissioner will be paying you a visit next Wednesday…”

“Do you have the time to receive him?”

Ling PingAn swallowed his saliva immediately.

He knew that this was a day that was bound to come.

The Committee for the children of Meritorious Service of the Federal Empire had a slogan: We will never let any of the descendants of meritorious service officials be deprived of food and clothing, and we will not leave them alone!

The former was guaranteed by various subsidies and allowances from the royal family and the central federal government.

The latter was the main task of the Committee for the children of Meritorious Service — running a sorority desperately, trying to gather a large group of men and women together.

These were their achievements.

It was also their performance.

It was heard that the committee for the children of Meritorious Service had a quota every year.

They had to complete as many pairs as they could.

If they didn’t, the higher management would punish them.

This kind of punishment usually resulted in the person in charge being stripped of his position and his title.

That was quite serious.

“This…” Ling PingAn was still thinking about dragging them. “I might not be around then…”

“Then when are you free?” She asked immediately, “The commissioner will visit you by that time…”

Ling PingAn sighed. There was nothing he could do, so he could only say, “Wednesday noon…”

There was nothing he could do!

The Commissioner of the Federal Empire was the representative of the Imperial Family!

All the subjects of the Empire had the obligation to cooperate unconditionally and assist them in their work.

This was written on the law.

It was the basic respect for the Imperial Family!

He hung up the phone and looked back at his pet. “Little darling… I feel that we are about to face a great disaster…”

The party…

The women and men were like wolves and tigers…

All of them were well-dressed but their words were filled with arrogance…

And the food was terrible…

The songs were so terrible that they made one’s ears hurt.

What was the meaning of the party?

Meow!

The kitten meowed softly as if it was deeply sympathetic and regretful to its owner!

Ling PingAn sighed.

He had no other choice!

“Let’s take it one step at a time…” he said as he furrowed his brows tightly.

He turned around and looked at the four people after he put away his phone. They were chatting passionately in the courtyard.

He shrugged his shoulders.

Ling PingAn felt that the four had some hints in their words when they were interacting just now.

They were hinting that he could make some requests to them to get some help.

But a man wouldn’t accept rewards for anything!

A gentleman wouldn’t take what was given to him easily!

Just like how Ling PingAn respected them, Ling PingAn respected himself even more.

No matter what others thought, in Ling PingAn’s eyes, he had the same soul and personality as anyone else.

Besides, their so-called resources and relationships, have nothing to do with Ling PingAn.

Those things were never in Ling PingAn’s eyes.

In Ling PingAn’s eyes, the fame and fortune that everyone else was chasing after were not as important as his game!

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s go!” Ling Pingan said to his pet and walked forward slowly.

As he walked, he hummed a little song. “I’m still the same young man as before… Time is a test… the faith planted in my heart hasn’t diminished at all…”

It was a song that he had heard before.

As he sang, Ling PingAn was puzzled. “How to sing the later part?”

He forgot about it.

…

In the courtyard, Wang Shan saw the descendant of the Ling family from the corner of his eye, walking along the limestone road in the village slowly.

He wanted to make him stay initially, but he didn’t say anything after thinking about it.

People from different worlds had a gap when interacting with each other.

Just let him be an ordinary mortal.

Let him live his life in peace and joy!

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his neck.

He turned around and saw his father looking somewhere far away with his back to him.

“Father!” Although Wang Shan usually called him an old man, he was still very filial, so he immediately went up and shouted.

Wang Xiao and Wang Yi stood up immediately. When they saw their father, they also shouted, “Father!”

“Sigh!” The old father sighed deeply.

This long sigh made the three brothers hearts pound.

It was as if something extremely precious had left them followed by this sigh.

More importantly, with this sigh, the old father’s figure suddenly became desolate and sorrowful.

It was psionic power that was wailing, but it was also his soul that was heartbroken.

“Father…” the three brothers surrounded him immediately. “What’s wrong?”

The old father turned his head and looked at the three brothers. He shook his head and said, “In the end, rotten wood can not be carved!”

His body turned into phantom images instantly and disappeared into the air.

The Wang brothers were shocked because this was a magic art they had never seen before.

The three brothers were shocked and panicked.

Because their old father was too unusual.

In fact, they would rather their old father give them a scolding instead of doing this!

They saw the door of the inner room open when they turned around.

The old village chief and his wife appeared in front of them.

“Uncle Zhang…” the three brothers forced a smile and bowed.

Zhang Fengxiao immediately stood up. “Father, Mother…”

He walked forward and was about to kowtow.

However, he was held back by an invisible strength.

Zhang Fengxiao swallowed his saliva.

This was a psionic power at the brigadier general level!

Moreover from the psionic power sensation, it should be a magic art that the Federal Empire had never heard of before!

Was it some kind of secret art?

What shocked Zhang Fengxiao, even more, was that he had never known that his parents were powerful transcendent being since he was young!

This was an ability that his parents had never displayed before him.

“Father…” he looked at his parents and asked, “Mother… what is going on exactly?”

His old father shook his head and said, “This matter has nothing to do with you already…”

“The test is over…”

“Everything is over…”

“Test?” Zhang Fengxiao asked in confusion.

“Don’t ask…” his father’s figure became crooked. “Since you have failed it…”

“Just go ahead and live your life!”

“Everything here has nothing to do with you!”

“Two hundred years of hard work… destroyed in one day… destroyed in one day…”

Zhang Fengxiao watched as his father walked into the inner room slowly with his back hunched.

Zhang Fengxiao went forward immediately and grabbed his mother’s hand. “Mother, what test?”

The old mother shook her head and patted her son’s shoulder. “You can go back…”

“What happened here has nothing to do with you…”

As she said that, she slowly walked into the inner room.

Zhang Fengxiao turned around and looked at the Wang brothers who were also flustered and confused.

“What’s going on?”

“How can my father and mother be transcendent being?”

“And they were so powerful”

Psionic power could not make a lie!

“Do you remember…” Wang Shan took a deep breath and said, “The legend of my childhood? The legend of the Ling Family!”

There had always been a legend about the Ling family in the village and even in the nearby villages.

The people of the Ling family couldn’t be offended.

Their ancestors were very fierce!

The Ling family were all monsters!

They even remembered that when they were young, every time they saw the empty ancestral house of the Ling family when they wanted to approach it, they would always be pulled by their ears.

“You can’t be disrespectful to the ancestral house of the Lord’s Family!” The adults were extremely serious about it.

The naughty children couldn’t help but always want to explore the mystery.

But no matter when they approached that house, they would always be caught and brought back by them!

Their speed was even comparable to when they wanted to skip class and go to the Internet cafe!

In the past, they had never taken this to heart.

After all, no matter how they looked at it, the Ling family ancestral home was very ordinary to them.

In other words, in their memories, they would feel a little strange when they followed their parents to the Ling family ancestral home to pay their respects…

However, they were too young at that time and did not think about it.

They were gradually forgotten after they grew up.

But now, they began to recall the experiences of paying their respects when they were young.

Fireworks was lingering.

There were circles one slowly rose one after another.

The main god Tablet of the Ling family, one piece after another.

The father was on the left, the son was on the right, and the ancestor was in the middle.

Row after row neatly lined up.

This was the ZHAOMU system!

And the rising fireworks fell on the divine master tablets as if the souls of the ancestors had returned from the netherworld, re-examining this world.

The Hu family’s old Granny, the old woman who only appeared once a year, knelt on the ground.

She muttered, and her speed of speech was indescribably fast.

The offerings on the sacrificial table.

That’s right!

The offerings on the sacrificial table!

Wang Shan was trying hard to recall.

He finally remembered!

There was once when he saw the offerings on the sacrificial table through the lingering smoke.

They seemed to be glowing and there was blood on the pieces.

The blood that was flowing out was still warm.

It was flowing out like a flame.

The meat was glowing, giving off a golden shining light.

When he was young, he did not understand, and he didn’t know.

But now, he knew that it was the flesh of a great demon!

The flesh of a top-tier great demon was freshly dug out from its body that was still alive!

“How could I be so stupid!” Wang Shan slapped himself hard!

Now, no matter how stupid he was, he finally understood.

The Ling family was the emperor.

This was something his parents had taught him since he was young.

In the past, he had always thought that his parents were pedantic and stubborn.

But he had never thought about the reason why his old father, who was so powerful, was willing to stay here and be a farmer in obscurity.

He had shown his strength previously!

That was the most obvious hint.

The Ling family was the emperor.

Since they were the emperor and could become the monarch of a person who was as strong as his father, there was only one possibility!

They had virtue!

Those who did not have virtue were not capable to be a ruler!

This virtue could be either the rule of literature or martial arts!

In short, there must be one thing that could suppress the chancellor and make them obey obediently.

In the world of the transcendent being, whether it was the rule of literature or the rule of martial arts, they were both earth-shattering matter!

In ancient times, Cang Jie created words that made ghosts and gods cry.

It was morality.

Hou Yi bent his bow and shot the sun. This was martial virtue.

In the legend, Some Miao were unconvinced and Emperor Shun cultivated him for three years. He performed Qi Wu and some Miao were subservient. It was the combined effect of both morality and martial virtue!

In other words, the Ling family could be the monarch, there must be morality!

This morality was very strong!

It was strong enough to make someone as strong as his father willing to be the servant of the Ling family. He would clean up every morning and evening carefully.

So strong that the Zhang, Wang, and Hu families were willing to guard the village silently.

So strong that each family would serve the Ling family consistently for two hundred years.

The other three people understood when they saw Wang Shan.

“A test?” Zhang Fengxiao asked a question. “What kind of test is it exactly? What is the result of the test?”

The four of them raised their heads and looked at each other.

Now, they all understood the reactions of the elders of both parties after the failure.

They hated the fact that they had failed.

They hated the fact that they couldn’t help themselves…

This meant that they had lost a very important thing.

What was this thing?

They thought of their parents’ transcendent being at the same time.

Whether it was the figure of the old father of the Wang family, the magic art of his Rapid Flash, or the divine ability of the Zhang family that made one stay still with their fingers.

So, the test had something to do with the legacy?

Only those who passed the test would be able to obtain their legacy?

Did they miss out on their family’s divine ability and magic art?

As they thought of this, their expression became interesting instantly.

……

The old village chief could feel the expression on his son’s face.

He shook his head. “Idiot!”

That Idiot son still didn’t know what he had missed.

But this was all fate.
