THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 7's

Chapter 07: A Strong Family

At Duke Ling's house, there was a new son, a fat new grandson.

General Ling finally had his first son! Both mother and child survived, with the weight of the newborn reaching nine catties and two taels!

This matter spread like a tsunami, alerting all the upper echelons in the Sky Bearing Kingdom! Despite the high status of Duke Ling and General Ling, the Ling family was one of the six largest aristocratic families that held the most authority in the world! Duke Ling, Ling Zhan, is the head of the family of this great family! Whether in terms of wealth or manpower, the Ling family was well positioned on a frightening level!

In the next instant, the Ling family gates were filled with long queues of people, endless crowds of people bustling to bestow their blessings to the Ling family. Not to mention the Yang family who were in the same empire, even the other four families from the other two continents had sent people to congratulate the Ling family. Even the emperor of the Sky Bear Kingdom made a personal visit to the Ling family before the first full month of young master Ling …

In the Sky Bear Kingdom, almost everyone knew that Duke Ling and the late emperor were sworn brothers who were life and death comrades! From the large territorial area of the Sky Bear Empire, at least half of them were captured by Duke Ling! No one in the empire was able to match his great contribution to the empire!

As for General Ling Xiao, he was one of the pillars in the imperial army today! At least a third of all the troops were under General Ling's control. The amount of authority he held was even comparable to that of the prime minister, Yang KongQun of the Yang family!

Moreover, General Ling and the current emperor were like brothers and had grown together since young. Moreover, General Ling's only sister was Empress Ling, whose status was only inferior to that of the empress in the imperial palace.

Who would dare to look down on such a family?

Before Ling Tian was one month old, the two warehouses that the Ling family had built before to store the various congratulatory gifts were completely full. Moreover, the guest rooms in the Ling family were completely full during this period! Duke Ling's cheerful laughter would be heard so often and General Ling's moody lack of offspring actually brightened up! As for Ling's generous old mistress, she donated 10,000 taels of silver to help the disaster victims. Suddenly, all the poor families had set up a longevity tablet for Madam Ling.

After Ling Tian understood all of these things, he was not only unhappy but also extremely worried! As the saying goes, anything that is at its limit will easily falter. Right now, the authority that the Ling family possessed was already at a dangerous level! It could already threaten the authority of the imperial family! This is definitely not a good thing!

It was impossible for a family this strong to not attract the attention of the imperial family! Perhaps now the Ling family was firmly rooted within the empire and could not be easily provoked. Another reason was that the empire was young, with problems emerging internally and externally. So, the Ling family was still needed to deal with any chaos. Thus, the Ling family's authority would still increase for a short time. However, when the sturdy imperial power with internal and external matters was lost, it would also be the end of the line for the Ling family!

Any great empire would not be able to accept the existence of a great power like the Ling family! Getting rid of anything after their goal has been achieved has been the way history has always been. Compared to authority, all friendship and brotherhood seem dull and useless. It's politics.

Ling Tian felt that he must definitely take some precautions and do something about it. His grandfather, Ling Zhan, had passed his prime and his father, Ling Xiao, was extremely loyal to the empire and was trapped by his friendship with the emperor. If things continue like this, the destruction of the Ling family will be inevitable!

Now, the Ling family had its own legitimate successor who was male. This would definitely make the empire even more suspicious and wary! After all, it was too easy for the Ling family to launch a rebellion with its authority and power.

After he was certain of his family situation, Ling Tian realized that he was born in the middle of a tsunami! It was as if he was born on a volcano! He must be the focus of all the big families! With regards to such a situation, Ling Tian could only bitterly laugh in his heart.

Ling Tian understood that if he became a little overwhelming when he grew up, the Ling family would be in even greater danger! Thinking of this, Ling Tian just wanted to cry, After doing the act for my entire previous life, don't tell me I will still do it.

The only thing that made Ling Tian happy was that his name was finally decided after a night of discussion between his parents and grandfather. What surprised Ling Tian the most was that his name was the same as the one in his previous life, Ling Tian!

Just when he was happy, he could not help but curse as well! Curse his stupid grandfather and his stupid-looking father!

They are just two political idiots! They have no political sense in them! If they are described with words from my previous life, they are truly idiots!

In his previous life, the name “Ling Tian” was not considered much. In fact, it was considered a very ordinary name with splendor. But in this world where there are still kingdoms and empires, this is a rebellious name! Ling Tian predicted that if this world was like the Qing dynasty from the previous world, just his name alone would guarantee that his entire family would be beheaded. [1]

Regarding how clueless his father and grandfather were towards politics, Ling Tian was completely speechless.

Ling Tian also gave the Ling family a big surprise! She refused to get milk from the healthy nanny that Madam Ling had specially discovered! Every time the nanny placed it** in her mouth, this brat would slide her head to the side and reject her! He preferred to wail from hunger and refuse to eat it! This made Old Madam Ling very worried.

What joke! Breastfeeding from my own mother was the best option for me to grow up healthy! What good is milk from women who have no blood relation to me? They are nothing more than cows in human form! If you want me to drink their milk, why not let me drink milk from cows alone? Of course, Ling Tian had a plan in his heart when he rejected it.

Because of his love for Ling Tian, Chu Ting’er insisted on hugging his son. What he did not expect was that while Ling Tian was in his own mother's arms, he became very cooperative, drinking milk with a big gulp with a face full of happiness.

Old mistress Ling was worried because her daughter-in-law's body had already been somewhat weak from the start. Furthermore, Ting’er had just given birth and old Ling's mistress was worried that her body could not accept it. She was even more afraid that Ting’er could not produce enough milk, starving her granddaughter. Therefore, he always came and looked around occasionally. However, she never expected that after a whole month, Chu Ting’er was not only unaffected by taking care of the child, but was also healthier than before she was pregnant and filled with more energy.

Ling Tian was secretly pleased. When she was first born, she already realized that her mother's body was very weak. After undergoing childbirth, her body was on the verge of collapse.

Ling Tian did not want to experience the grief of losing his mother at such a young age. Therefore, he secretly used his pure XianTian Qi to take care of his mother's meridians and repair the damage in his body while he drank milk. The effect is really good! As long as Chu Ting’er did not have any accidents in the future, Ling Tian was confident he would definitely be able to live to an advanced age.

Ling Tian shocked the Ling family in another aspect: since he was born, he had never urinated in bed! Even if she had to hold it until her face was flushed, she did not urinate on the bed. Instead, she made a fuss with her arms and legs to remind the adults behind her that she needs to urinate. This ... is just a genius!

Whenever there were guests in the family, her mother and grandmother announced this fact proudly. Without fail, it attracted envious gazes and expressions of shock from everyone, followed by waves of praise.

With regards to her mother and grandmother bragging about the fact that she would not pee in bed, Ling Tian felt extremely depressed! No matter what, I have a mental age above 25. How could I still do something like that? If you want a 25-year-old to pee in bed, why not ask a carnivore to eat only vegetables?

The days passed, the Ling family discovered another strange thing about young master Ling. This young master had never cried or caused any harm. His actions were arranged to the point of frightening! When it was time to go to sleep, he would close his eyes obediently and fall asleep. When it was time to drink milk, he would open his mouth without the need for anyone to persuade him. When he did not eat or sleep, he was also very obedient. He or she will listen to the adult talking with interest or lying on the side quietly and playing by himself. Almost everyone who saw the young master said that they had never seen such an obedient child!

Thus, the legend of the young master of the Ling family spread widely until everyone in the Sky Bearing Kingdom knew that he was a very genius.
