In addition to having a great chemistry with Ling Yun, Tang Meng was a master at reading the situation. He knew that Ling Yun wanted to escape from this unpleasant deadlock. He stood up and said, “Big Brother Yun, I want to learn too. Please teach me.”

“Alright! Let’s go!” Ling Yun dashed to the yard right away with Tie Xiaohu following closely behind.

Tang Meng grabbed the car keys on the coffee table and was about to chase after them when Zhuang Meifeng warned him lightly, “Tang Meng, remember to let Big Brother Yun return in time for breakfast. You know the consequences if you don’t.”

Tang Meng shuddered, knowing he could not afford to offend any of them. He simply smiled and replied, “I will only do my best. You know Big Brother Yun. He won’t listen to me.”

Tang Meng fled from the laughter of the three beautiful women.

The three brothers got onto the Hummer. Tang Meng started the engine with Ling Yun in the backseat. Ling Yun let out a long sigh only after they had traveled some distance.

“Troublesome, so troublesome,” Ling Yun muttered under his breath as he thought back to the four peerless beauties.

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu hid a laugh. “Where are we heading now, Big Brother Yun?” Tang Meng asked.

“Qingxi Villa District, Mansion Number One,” Ling Yun responded.

There was nowhere more convenient and comfortable to cultivate than Mansion Number One.

Mansion Number One was unique. It was situated within the scenic area alongside a winding lake naturally flushed with abundant spiritual energy.

Ling Yun had transplanted the Shichiyou herbs there. Moreover, his thousand meter-wide Spirit Gathering Formation was specially created to absorb the scattered multifarious spiritual energy from the treasures found in the antiques market.

The entire Mansion Number One was transformed into a huge Spirit Gathering Formation by Ling Yun.

“Tang Meng, I have yet to settle some scores with you. Were you the one who revealed the name of the clinic to Lingyu yesterday?” Ling Yun suddenly remembered his embarrassment from last night.

“Erm…” Tang Meng scratched his head in fright. “Big Brother Yun, that name is pretty good. I tried registering it with the Commerce and Industry Bureau, but they refused.”

“Okay, why didn’t you tell me then? Lingyu laughed at me as though I was some kind of joke. Such embarrassment!” Ling Yun relaxed.

“Big Brother Yun, my intention was to get Lingyu to pass the message. I thought that you would be more likely to accept it that way.”

“My Mum named it ‘Ordinary People’s Clinic’. Register that name first. We will deal with the rest later,” Ling Yun acknowledged.

“Alright!” Tang Meng nodded, happy that his strategy had worked. Aunt Qin’s words meant so much more than the rest of theirs put together.

Ling Yun’s thoughts turned towards another matter. “What happened to my Land Rover? I didn’t see it at home just now.”

“Big Brother Yun, we left in a hurry after you disappeared last night. Our focus was not on your Land Rover. Don’t worry though, it is at my house. I guarantee its safety. Perhaps sister-in-law can drive it back later?”

Ling Yun frowned. “No, you have to complete the paperwork with Dao Yong later. Drive the car back when the sun is up.”

“Sure!” Tang Meng responded.

That thought reminded him of the Maserati. He instructed Tang Meng again. “Head down to Tianxi Pavilion in the Antique Market when you have time in the next few days. Look for a lady by the name of Murong Feixue and complete the paperwork for the Maserati as well.”

“Big Brother Yun, where do I find the time? I have to decorate Mansion Number Nine at Qingshui Wharf as well. That alone is enough to kill me!” Tang Meng backed off bitterly.

Ling Yun concurred with Tang Meng. “Well, do that first then. It is more important. Right, in that case, I will give you another five million yuan later. Fill up Mansion Number One as well. Don’t waste time doing the same thing twice.”

Tang Meng looked back, puzzled. “Big Brother Yun, are you planning to move into Mansion Number One?”

Ling Yun smiled as he nodded. The rented house was no longer necessary since the Shichiyou herb had been transplanted to Mansion Number One.

The sky was already bright at six ten in the morning. The Hummer pulled over outside of the gate to Mansion Number One.

Tie Xiaohu opened the gate to let Tang Meng drive in.

Ling Yun admired his masterpiece again and absorbed the rich spiritual energy in the air. It was truly refreshing.

The spiritual energy was not from the Shichiyou herb, since the energy from the Shichiyou herb was trapped within the smaller Spirit Gathering Formation that Ling Yun had created.

It was from the large Spirit Gathering Formation. It had absorbed the spiritual energy from its surroundings, mainly from the Antique Market!

Anyone who cultivated there would be able to advance ten times faster than if they cultivated elsewhere!

“It’s really good for it to gather so much spiritual energy in such a short time,” Ling Yun said with great enthusiasm.

“I have created a spell formation in the yard. Only come through the main entrance. You’ll be trapped inside the formation if you were to come in by any other way,” Ling Yun cautioned his buddies.

“That is so cool!” Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu exclaimed in unison.

Ling Yun responded with a smile.

“Big Brother Yun, the daybreak is here soon. I will start cultivating.” Tie Xiaohu recovered from his surprise and wasted no more time on unrelated matters.

“What a cultivation maniac. Big Brother Yun, I think Tie Xiaohu was triggered by the events last night. And, erm… I would also like to cultivate.”

Tang Meng requested as he looked at Tie Xiaohu standing against the sun with envy.

Tang Meng’s body was natural inept for cultivation. He had the worst aptitude amongst the people around Ling Yun. But, after the thorough internal cleansing by Ling Yun, there existed a possibility for him to cultivate.

Ling Yun invoked the Stellar Condensation Technique and gently patted Tang Meng’s shoulder. “Follow me.”

Tang Meng followed Ling Yun to the patch of Shichiyou herb exuding vibrancy. “I am not trying to put you down, but your body is not suitable for cultivation. I have done a thorough internal cleansing for you last night which slightly improved your body. You can now try to cultivate,” Ling Yun said kindly.

Tang Meng would likely be able to learn some self-defense, which was more than enough for Ling Yun.

Ling Yun continued to soothe a distressed Tang Meng. “Everyone has their own strengths. You don’t have to worry about this. I will come up with something to help you. There is no need for haste.”

He could concoct medication pills for Tang Meng. That would be the easiest and fastest method even though it wasn’t optimal. However, it was miles better than not being able to cultivate at all.

Ling Yun was not known as a rare genius for nothing. He was an expert in four key elements from the Cultivation World: talisman charms, spell formations, medicinal concoctions and refining vessels.

Tang Meng’s eyes lit up and he chuckled excitedly. “I will not start cultivating then. I can’t stand looking at Tie Xiaohu standing there like a foolish piece of wood. The talisman charms you gave me last night are so much more exciting! I managed to scare that crazy woman last night, haha!”

Tang Meng was still under the impression that Priestess Heartless had backed away in fear because of his low-level Fire Talisman last night.

That was about the extent of his passion for cultivation.

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly, though he was secretly impressed with Tang Meng’s wittiness and resourcefulness.

Ling Yun came right beside the Shichiyou herb with the Big Dipper Step. He used the Stellar Condensation Technique to aid his simultaneous absorption of the essence of the sun and the spiritual energy from the Shichiyou herb.

The small spirit gathering formation created by Ling Yun was indeed incredible; it concentrated almost all of the spiritual energy from the Shichiyou herb and trapped it within the formation.

There was a possibility of the spiritual energy atomizing and condensing into a dense fog!

And if Ling Yun let it continue congregating without absorbing it, it would liquefy. Drinking just one drop of this…

That would be extraordinary!

Metaphorically speaking, Ling Yun was bathing himself in a sauna filled with spiritual energy!

In less than three minutes, Ling Yun reached the optimal state. He continued standing there and used Yin-Yang harmony balance to channel the spiritual energy into this energy center.

Ling Yun was practicing the Stellar Condensation Technique and Yin-Yang harmony balance concurrently while also chatting casually with Tang Meng. Ling Yun multi-tasked with ease.

“Try to sniff some information from Dao Yong when you do the paperwork later. See if they are willing to come under yours and Tie Xiaohu’s wings…”

Tang Meng understood immediately.

Ling Yun turned his attention to another matter. “Tell me, do you have any plans for the decoration of the mansions?”

Tang Meng was long prepared for it and answered Ling Yun directly, “Big Brother Yun, I gave some thought to it. I think it’s better to get a professional interior design company to do it. What do you think?”

“I knew that you would definitely come up with a most efficient way to deal with this matter. Great! Do it your way. Your time would also be freed up for other more important matters this way.” Ling Yun accepted Tang Meng’s proposal.

Tang Meng disagreed immediately. “Big Brother Yun, that is not possible. The interior design company should only be responsible for the design. I will have to manage the negotiations for furnitures and the like. We cannot leave it all to them. We will be eaten alive!”

“I will leave it in your good hands,” Ling Yun replied in appreciation for Tang Meng’s dedication.

Ling Yun stared at Tang Meng sternly and asked, “Tell me what happened after I left last night.”

This was the crux of the issue and was also something he could not ask in front of the beauties.

“The first one who woke up was Dugu Mo,” Tang Meng replied solemnly.

It was natural for Dugu Mo to wake up first since he was the highest ranking at Houtian Realm Level Eight.

When Dugu Mo had woken up, he had looked around, lost. He had wondered, This is strange, why am I here?

It was apparent that Ling Yun’s spell worked. Dugu Mo had forgotten everything, including how he came to the Zhuang Family.

The only one he had recognized was Cao Shanshan. He had pondered for a short while before he had left without confronting her.

Miao Xiaomiao had been the next. Ling Yun had erased most of her memory except for the part where she had joined hands with Ling Yun to deal with Liu Deming.

She had left swiftly with Xue Meining at her side.

Kang Ruiyong and the rest of the police had been baffled. Tang Tianhao had cleverly concealed what had happened with just a few words.

They had arrested the five surviving fighters from the Sun Family.

Ling Yun had wiped up to two weeks of their memories which had left them confounded.

He had also erased the memories of the Zhuang Family from last night from everyone.

Ling Yun had taken advantage of the divine sense resulting from his temporary Qi Cultivation Stage Nine to activate a horrifying Mystical Dragon Howl.

Tang Meng finished his narration with his eyes filled with questions. “Big Brother Yun, your howl was so powerful that many of them forgot what happened. Even so, why were we not affected?”

“Wouldn’t it be weird if you lot forgot about it as well? Anyway, just take it that nothing happened last night. Do not mention this to anyone outside of our circle. We will invite big trouble if you do!” Ling Yun warned.

Niu Fenjiao, Sun Xing, the Masters from the Sun Family and the three Heaven-ranked killers from the Assassins Organization had disappeared into thin air! Wouldn’t that incur their wrath?

“Big Brother Yun, Cao Shanshan and Ning Er said they will activate their families to protect you. *Sigh* , Ning Er even burst into tears in anger…”

Tang Meng phrased his words carefully to Ling Yun.

Cultivation was just an excuse to escape from the rented house. The real reason was that he did not know how to face Xue Meining.

“Alright, I better think of a good way to pacify Ning Er…”
