Chapter 69: What Does a Mere True Martial Token Count For?

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: What Does a Mere True Martial Token Count For?"Young Master!" Ling Wu approached and saluted Ling Chen. Ling Chen placed the True Martial Token in Ling Wu’s hand and smiled, "It’s yours now!" "Ah?" Ling Wu was stunned on the spot, her mouth agape and her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. "What?" The people of the Ling Family were all dumbstruck. The scene was dead silent. Everyone looked as though they had seen a ghost. Who could have imagined that Ling Chen would actually give the priceless True Martial Token to a maid? "It seems that the relationship between these two is not ordinary!" Lin Xiaodu was the first to recover. After all, the True Martial Token had nothing to do with her. "Fighting over such a tender young girl comes with no small pressure! Do I have to resort to force?" Lin Xiaodu stared at Ling Chen. At this point, everyone finally came to their senses. "Family Head, I disagree!" Ling Ye directly challenged. "I also disagree!" Ling Jinglong also nodded in agreement. "I object!" Nearly all of the Ling Family Disciples held opposing views. Not to mention that Ling Wu was just a maid. Even disregarding her status, Ling Wu was merely surnamed Ling and not really one of their Ling Family! How could someone who wasn’t from the Ling Family lay hands on their possessions? Moreover, Ling Wu was only in the Physical Body Realm. With countless Cultivators in the Ling Family at the Qi Condensation and Spirit Sea Realms, why would they favor someone who’s merely in the Physical Body Realm? Was it simply because Ling Wu was Ling Chen’s maid? "Young Master, this is too valuable, I can’t accept it!" Ling Wu hurriedly stuffed the True Martial Token back into Ling Chen’s hand. Such a precious treasure, regarded as a jewel by the Ling Family—how could she, a mere maid, be worthy of it? "Take it!" Ling Chen’s eyes widened as he sharply spit out two words. Seeing Ling Chen’s stern expression for the first time, Ling Wu stood there, holding the True Martial Token, unsure what to do. Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered with the voices of doubt around him and instead looked towards Ling Tianfeng with a smile, "Family Head, what do you think?" "Chen Er, would you consider it again?" Ling Tianfeng pondered for a moment before speaking. Giving away such a valuable item to a maid was really unreasonable! Better for Ling Chen to use it himself! And with the lesson from last time, he really didn’t dare to underestimate Ling Chen anymore. After all, Ling Chen was now a student of the True Martial Academy! Ling Chen’s gaze turned to the center of the banquet, and he said coldly: "First, I personally obtained this True Martial Token at the Heaven-Claiming Ceremony!" "Second, the True Martial Token was left to me by my father, Ling Tianxing. The family was just holding it for me! Without my permission, the family used it as a reward for the Heaven-Claiming Ceremony, and I haven’t even settled that account with you! Now, do you have the face to defy me?" "Third, how I dispose of the True Martial Token is none of your worthless bunch’s business!" "Fourth, Ling Wu is fourteen this year, nearing the Peak of the Physical Body Realm. In terms of talent, do any of you useless ones match up?" "Fifth, you disagree? Your opinion counts for nothing!" With these words, Ling Tianfeng and several Hall Masters all bowed their heads. They had no ground to stand on regarding the matter of the Heaven-Claiming Ceremony. Moreover, now that Ling Chen was a student of the True Martial Academy, they really didn’t dare to offend him too harshly, nor did they dare to take any action! If they dared to make a move, without the need for anyone from the True Martial Academy to come, the two seniors present could annihilate the Ling Family! Furthermore, Ling Chen managed to defeat Su Qingyun, clearly indicating that his prospective achievements would be at least at the Primordial Pill Realm! They’re just a bunch of cultivators at the Spirit Sea Realm, not daring to do much! "Let me tell you the truth, this True Martial Token is mine, understand? I can give it to whoever I wish! Who are you to demand it from me?" Ling Chen threw down these words, took Ling Wu by the hand, and turned to leave. The lively atmosphere of the party was wiped clean in an instant. "Ling Chen, wait for me!" Lin Xiaodu quickly got up and followed. She came to the Ling Family mainly for Ling Chen and naturally wouldn’t stay here. Watching Ling Chen stride away, Ling Tianfeng’s face showed a wry smile. He regretted bringing up such a sensitive topic. Why did he have to mention it? Even if Ling Chen threw away the True Martial Token, as long as the Ling Family improved their relationship with him, it would be enough for the Ling Family to rise! Now they’ve just added tension to a relationship that was finally getting better! "Whoever brings up the True Martial Token again will be expelled from the Ling Family!" Ling Tianfeng glared at everyone sternly and hurriedly went after them. Originally, everyone was intimidated by Ling Chen’s words, and now with the Family Head speaking, naturally, no one dared to question further. "Chen Er!" Ling Tianfeng caught up with the trio of Ling Chen. "Family Head, what’s the matter?" Ling Chen paused his steps and responded indifferently. To be honest, he was quite disappointed with Ling Tianfeng as the Family Head. Too shortsighted. He had shown such talent, yet the Family Head did not strive to foster a better relationship but instead coveted the True Martial Token that already belonged to him. It was extremely disappointing. Ling Chen had never brought up the matter of the True Martial Token just to give Ling Tianfeng face. Yet, he still brought it up. "Ling Chen, don’t be angry. I just asked casually. The True Martial Token is yours, and you can give it to whomever you want. The Family Head won’t interfere!" Ling Tianfeng hurriedly said with a smile. "Hmm." Ling Chen nodded. Seeing that Ling Chen had no intention of continuing the conversation, Ling Tianfeng quickly said, "You all should go back and rest." "Okay!" Ling Chen replied and walked away. Soon, the three of them returned to Ling Chen’s residence. "Miss Lin, now that the celebration is over, you can go back, right?" Ling Chen frowned. However, Lin Xiaodu didn’t mind his attitude at all and said with a smile, "Ling Chen, this is not how you treat a guest! Are you driving your sister away?" "Yes." Ling Chen was somewhat impatient.

Seeing that Ling Chen was indeed in a bad mood, Lin Xiaodu said with a laugh, "Alright, your sister will come visit again in a couple of days!" And then she left. In the room. "Young Master, you should put away the True Martial Token, right?" Ling Wu looked at Ling Chen with immense gratitude. The Young Master not only gave her the Body Tempering Spirit Liquid but also the precious True Martial Token. She had heard from the Young Master that with the True Martial Token, she would enjoy the treatment of a core student at the True Martial Academy! Yet the Young Master unhesitatingly gave her such an opportunity. She, a mere maid, how did she deserve it? Ling Chen looked at Ling Wu seriously and said, "Xiao Wu, although you are my maid, we have depended on each other since we were young, and I have long regarded you as a sister. If your brother gives you a gift, would you refuse it?" "But, Young Master, Xiao Wu is only at the Physical Body Realm! I haven’t been able to cultivate to the Peak of the Physical Body Realm even after such a long time. Xiao Wu is afraid of wasting your True Martial Token!" Ling Wu’s tears fell like rain. Ling Chen patted Ling Wu’s little head and said, "Xiao Wu, what do you think of your brother’s talent?" "It’s the best I have ever seen!" Ling Wu responded without hesitation. "Yes! Your brother is a genius who can even defeat Spiritual Bodies!" Ling Chen’s face revealed a hint of pride as he said, "Even without the True Martial Token, your brother will quickly make a name for himself at the True Martial Academy! So, what does a mere True Martial Token count for?"
