Ling Yun memorized Miracle Doctor Xue’s phone number immediately with his superb memory.
“You will be my greatest force and backing… Eh, wait, Grandpa Xue, could it be that you were there last night?”
Miracle Doctor Xue affirmed Ling Yun’s suspicion without hiding anything. “Lad, you attained Houtian Realm Level Five in just seven days. You really are a genius at martial arts! Also, I noticed someone hidden in the woods at the same level as me. I was sure that she was there to protect you since she did not lay a finger on you, so I left immediately.” Miracle Doctor Xue panned out the situation last night seriously.
Ling Yun acknowledged without saying anything. He knew that the person was his mother, Qin Qiuyue.
“You are a smart person, I will not talk about this useless stuff. I have been spoiling Ning Er, and that lass is infatuated with you. Please be considerate of her in the future…” Miracle Doctor Xue was most worried about his precious granddaughter, Xue Meining.
“Grandpa Xue, I am aware. I will be considerate of her. Grandpa Xue, I am just curious. Why did you only teach Ning Er medical skills but not martial arts?” Ling Yun asked with an embarrassed smile.
That was something he could not figure out. Miracle Doctor Xue brought Xue Meining up but taught her only medicine skills and no self-defense skills.
“Ning Er’s grandma refused to let anyone else in my family learn martial arts after my brush with Miao Fenghuang. I am sure you would understand why!” Miracle Doctor Xue laughed bitterly.
“I understand now…” Ling Yun rubbed his head in embarrassment.
Didn’t his own mother not impart any martial arts to him nor Ning Lingyu, even though Ning Lingyu undoubtedly had the best build for cultivation?
Could Cao Shanshan be right? Could his mother be that person from the Qin family? If that was true, what had happened eighteen years ago for his mother to become so reserved and low key? She was basically living in the lowest ranks of society.
Ling Yun’s eyes clouded over as he thought about his circumstances.
“Ning Er did not tell me how you survived last night, but I believe in heaven’s will. Everyone has their own fate. Alright now, you are a busy man. I will keep you no longer. Remember to give me a call if you need me!” Miracle Doctor Xue patted Ling Yun’s shoulders and bade him goodbye.
Ling Yun left Miracle Doctor Xue’s house and walked towards Mansion Number One.
“It seems like Ning Er did not tell her Grandpa about the Emperor Brush and the Protection of the Nine Dragons…”
Xiao Meimei, Cao Shanshan, Zhuang Meifeng, Tie Xiaohu, and Tang Meng were intelligent and thoughtful. The first thing they had done when they reached Ling Yun’s rental house had been to unanimously agree not to speak of what happened last night to anyone else. They knew that Ling Yun’s life was at stake. That saved Ling Yun some trouble. Ling Yun wondered about it as he strolled along.
Ling Yun could have wiped their memories, but he chose not to do it. All of them except for Cao Shan Shan and Xue Meining had accompanied him to hell and back. He trusted them with all his heart.
Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining had rushed to the scene in the rain to save him. They had not retreated even though three Heaven-ranked killers from the Assassins Organization had appeared. Ling Yun valued their bravery.
Of course, the more profound reason was that Ling Yun was not afraid that this matter would leak out.
Niu Fenjiao, Sun Xing and the masters that Niu Fenjiao had brought along were all dead except for five of them, who were currently detained in the Public Security Bureau. The dead bodies had been destroyed and the survivors had been wiped of their memories. However, the Sun Family weren’t stupid.
It went without saying that the Sun Family were definitely panicking. They had probably mobilized their forces to search for the missing people.
They would definitely link their disappearance to Ling Yun!
One had to take responsibility for their actions. Ling Yun had already predicted this ending when he had decided to kill them.
Kill before getting killed. That was Ling Yun’s policy.
Moreover, even if the Sun Family decided not to pursue the matter further with him, he would still have the Assassins Organization hunting him!
The Assassins Organization wanted him dead. That much was known.
Hehe, it seems like the Sun Family did not know that He Xingyan was part of the Assassins Organization. They are all missing now. Should I think of a way to make them fight each other instead? That would take a huge load off my shoulder. It sounds fun as well…
When shepherds quarrel, the wolf has a winning game.
Ling Yun thought about Deepa’s communicator
“Perhaps I can use this communicator to impersonate a member of the Assassins Organization. When the Sun Family come knocking on the door, I could secretly kill a few of them while pinning the blame on the Assassins Organization…”
“I will let you fight to the bone while I cultivate. When the time is ripe, I will wipe you both out…”
One could not deny that Ling Yun’s method of killing two birds with one stone would weaken both sides and win precious time for him to cultivate.
It was easier said than done though. For the plan to succeed, he would need a perfect opportunity. If that could not be carried out, Ling Yun could only deal with both the Assassins Organization and the Sun Family.
That’s weird. It’s already two in the afternoon, but I have yet to receive a single call…
“Sh*t, I switched off my phone in the morning!” Ling Yun slapped the back of his head with realization.
He quickly switched on his phone and saw messages and unanswered calls flooding in.
Ling Yun quickly glanced at his messages. There were seven from Tang Meng alone, two from Tie Xiaohu and several from Cao Shanshan, Zhuang Meifeng and Ning Lingyu!
“Big Brother Yun, I received the five million yuan.”
“Big Brother Yun, I have finished the formalities for the Land Rover. Dao Zi is very obedient. I don’t think there are many problems on his end…”
“Big Brother Yun, I have contacted the best interior design company for the mansion. They are the best in our city. They did the interior design for the Zhuang Family as well…”
“Big Brother Yun, I have negotiated with the interior design company. I will bring them to the mansion at Qingshui Wharf for an estimate. We will also discuss with Aunt Qin and Lingyu. They can start work in the afternoon.”
“Oh my god, Big Brother Yun! Something big has happened! Aunt Qin looks ten years younger, and Lingyu… oh my God! Hurry back and see for yourself!”
“Big Brother Yun, why is your phone switched off? Lingyu is so anxious. She couldn’t reach you on your cell…”
…
Tie Xiaohu’s messages were simple. One was to inform him that he had received the two million yuan. The other message was on the usage of this two million. He spent one million and eight hundred thousand for the house and the car. He paid for the house in cash. He could move in immediately.
The messages from Cao Shanshan and Zhuang Meifeng were about their concern and their affection for him. They wanted him to give them a call once he switched on his phone.
The messages from Ning Lingyu were the most interesting!
“Big Brother, where are you? Why is your phone switched off? Mum seems to be have become ten years younger. No, rather, she has become ten years younger! I am also… Anyways, hurry back and see for yourself!”
“Big Brother, why aren’t you switching on your phone, Tang Meng is here…”
“Big Brother, call me once you see my message!”
Ling Yun snickered as he looked through the messages. Could he have gone too far this time?
Qin Qiuyue hadn’t even looked thirty years old despite being thirty-six thanks to attaining the Xiantian Realm. Now that she had received an internal cleansing from Immortal Spiritual Energy…
If what Ning Lingyu had said was true, then his mother would look about the same age as Zhuang Meifeng!
Ling Yun had seen Ning Lingyu’s appearance change with his own eyes when he had been doing the internal cleansing for her using the immortal spiritual body.
Ning Lingyu was a peerless beauty. She shone like a pearl in the darkness and a lone orchid in the empty valley no matter where she was.
Her newly attained immortal spiritual body further enhanced her breathtaking beauty.
Ling Yun had once said that Lingyu was ten thousand times more beautiful than Cao Shanshan. He had been joking then, but looking back, it was probably a prophecy.
Ning Lingyu was akin to an angel that fell into the mortal world. No one could even hold a hair against her, not even the three beauties Miao Xiaomiao, Zhuang Meifeng and Lin Menghan!
Of course, Ling Yun could concoct the age-defying pill and the beautifying pill in the future for the ladies around him…
The fastest he could do that would be after he reach the Qi Cultivation Stage!
Actually, Xue Meining, Zhuang Meifeng, Xiao Meimei and Miao Xiaomiao definitely received some enhancement from the Immortal Spiritual Energy and internal cleansing. The enhancement increased with increasing amounts of Immortal Spiritual Energy. He had given the most Immortal Spiritual Energy to Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu. Therefore, they had the most visible changes.
“Oh no, mum will definitely hold me responsible for the huge change.” Ling Yun chuckled as he called them back.
