Yang Linghu felt it was somewhat inappropriate to let Yang Lingqing personally head to the Secret Treasure Vault Land, so he made a trip to Pine Mountain to discuss it with her.
He proposed leading the team himself, but the moment he said it, Yang Lingqing flatly rejected it.
"This is absolutely impossible. Sister-in-law is still carrying the baby. How can we send you out?"
Yang Lingqing said sternly.
"Lingqing, you're the Yang Family Patriarch now. If anything happens to you on this trip, who will be able to take charge of such a large family?"
Yang Linghu shook his head and stepped forward to argue. "You know perfectly well that I'm the most suitable person for this mission. Only Qi Gathering Early-stage cultivators can enter the Black Snake Secret Treasure. With my current strength and methods, even disciples from sects would be no match for me."
"Anyone in this family can come to harm—except you."
"Have you forgotten what the ancestor instructed before he left? He personally ordered that whenever outside matters arose, I was to be sent first. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not move!"
Yang Lingqing stood with her back to Yang Linghu, her brows tightly furrowed.
"How could I not understand all that? But the situation is different now."
"I'll bring Wu Tong here to live with you, and I'll go to the secret treasure."
"No!"
"Not even that will do? Why are you being so unreasonable today!"
Seeing that his brother and sister were about to quarrel, Yang Lingrui hurriedly stepped between them.
"Brother Hu, Sister Qing, don't rush. There's still time before departure. We can discuss this matter slowly."
With that, he led the two back into the room one after the other, and the three sat down again on their meditation
