(The Third Update)
Many people interpreted Ling Jinhua's words as the Ling Family's intention to heavily support Luo Ziling; the accompanying officials all thought so.
Therefore, they believed that Luo Ziling's future was surely limitless.
Only Luo Liansheng and Luo Xusheng didn't think this way.
They felt that Ling Jinhua's actions were not for Luo Ziling's good but were making Luo Ziling a target for everyone to attack. The saying goes, "The tree that stands out in the forest is sure to be blown by the wind," an ancient truth. Or, Luo Ziling was still playing the role of a whetstone, except the nature of the whetstone had changed. Put bluntly, it was an upgrade.
Not only did he need to serve as a whetstone for the Ling Family, but he also had to shield the Ling Family from external attacks, acting as the vanguard in the charge for the Ling Family.
