Ling Yun didn’t expect the other party to show himself so easily. Moreover, he even reported his name the moment he appeared without any prompts. Ling Yun was stunned and didn’t know how to react to that.

Cui Lao, on the other hand, was still sizing Ling Yun up as though he couldn’t see Ling Yun properly in the dark. All of a sudden, he took two steps forward and took a much closer look at Ling Yun’s face.

The joy in his eyes was as if he saw a rare treasure! In fact, he looked even happier than when Ning Er saw the eighteen Night-Luminescent Pearls, the two-thousand-year-old ginseng, and the Chinese Knotweed!

Ling Yun couldn’t wrap his head around this as he lifted his hand to scratch his head. Even though I’m indeed quite handsome, an old man like you shouldn’t look at me like that, right?

“Big Brother Yun, this is?” When Tang Meng saw that Cui Lao’s Qinggong was even more impressive than the three experts from the Assassin Organization, he was convinced that this Cui Lao was the helper that Ling Yun mentioned.

Ling Yun stared at Tang Meng as he thought, how would I know? Ling Yun clasped his fist towards Cui Lao as he let out a faint smile. “Eh… Cui Lao, right? I’ve noticed that you’ve been following me, so I wonder if you have any advice for me?”

Cui Lao didn’t bother answering Ling Yun’s question. He simply smiled delightfully at Ling Yun as he thought to himself in great excitement, Look alike! He really does look alike when he smiles. Just like what Ling Hao said, there is no need for a DNA test to prove that Ling Yun is Third Master’s son!

Cui Lao was, of course, sent by Ling Lie after the Ling Family’s secret meeting. He came to fetch Ling Yun back to Beijing to meet the ancestors as well as the top experts of the Ling Family.

Cui Lao arrived in Qingshui City on Monday night. After arriving here, he made several secret inquiries to verify the truth in the materials provided by Ling Hao. He immediately confirmed that Ling Yun was 100% the son of the Ling Family’s Third Master, Ling Xiao’s son.

However, when he finally confirmed that, Ling Yun went missing and nobody could contact him. While the entire world was looking for Ling Yun, Cui Lao was naturally also thinking of ways to find him.

Over the past five to six days, a lot of devastating incidents happened to Ling Yun’s family and friends. However, all of this had nothing to do with Cui Lao, so it wasn’t possible for him to show himself before Ling Yun appeared. Therefore, he had been investigating in the dark, and when he was progressively piecing everything up, he decided to protect Ning Lingyu secretly.

As Cui Lao went deeper in his investigations, he realized that almost all the big incidents in Qingshui City were related to one name — Ling Yun!

Cui Lao was incomparably shocked because even Sun Tianbiao of the Sun Family in Beijing came down personally to Qingshui just to deal with Ling Yun!

Because everything had large implications and involved the conflict of powers of the different families, Cui Lao couldn’t afford to expose himself regardless of who was in trouble. However, Ning Lingyu was Ling Yun’s foster mother’s biological daughter, so she must not get into any trouble. Therefore, he constantly appeared near Ning Lingyu over the last three days to protect her.

Until tonight, when the missing Ling Yun finally showed himself after six days. Cui Lao was pleasantly surprised, so he decided not to conceal his traces any longer, which was why he showed himself.

Cui Lao really liked Ling Yun too much! Part of this was also because of the logic of loving the house and its crow. In the Ling Family, besides the old man Ling Lie, the person Cui Lao was the closest to was Ling Yun’s birth father, Ling Xiao. Now that Cui Lao finally saw Ling Yun, how could he not be excited?

Another reason was that Cui Lao realized Ling Yun possessed exceptional martial arts technique. From how silently Ling Yun entered the house, Cui Lao was already brimming with joy. This was because Ling Yun showed that he was minimally in Houtian Realm Level Five from that simple Qinggong.

Moreover, there was a girl who was poisoned for almost three days, and nobody was able to heal her. However, Ling Yun had only entered the house for a while, and that girl walked out smiling as if nothing had happened at all. What did this show?

This proved that Ling Yun possessed extraordinary medical skills too!

Wasn’t all of that heaven’s blessing? Cui Lao was so excited that he followed them on foot all the way here!

“Young Mast… Eh… Little kid Ling Yun, how did you know I was hiding in the tree?” Cui Lao asked out of curiosity and almost called him young master.

Ling Yun smiled faintly as he asked instead of answering, “Cui Lao, how did you know my name is Ling Yun?”

Cui Lao was inwardly surprised at Ling Yun’s character. He was an expert half a step into the Xiantian Realm, and he actually dared to challenge him!

This part of him was way too similar to his mother! Not only did their eyes look similar, but their lawless characters were even more similar!

At the thought of Ling Yun’s birth mother, Cui Lao sighed in his heart. He went on to explain, “I’ve heard this kid call you earlier…” Cui Lao pointed at Tang Meng.

Ling Yun laughed out loud and asked again, “That doesn’t seem right… Tang Meng has never called me by my name as he always addresses me as Big Brother Yun. How did you know my surname is Ling?”

This was the key! It was evident that this unknown Cui Lao knew all about Ling Yun’s identity. However, Ling Yun was also able to tell that Cui Lao had no malicious intentions towards him. All he expressed towards him were fondness and kindness. Therefore, Ling Yun wasn’t too bothered and was simply curious and wanted to know more.

Cui Lao was impressed by Third Master’s kid, at how detailed oriented he was when making observations. He was beyond excited in his heart.

However, with Tang Meng by the side, Cui Lao was naturally not able to explain who he was and his motive here. Instead, he changed the topic of the conversation and said, “Young Mast… Eh, Ling Yun, where are you heading to now? Why don’t I accompany you?”

Ling Yun noticed that Cui Lao wasn’t willing to say much, so he didn’t wish to force him. Instead, he smiled as he replied, “I will be going to beat some people up later, I wonder if Cui Lao wants to help?”

Help! How could he not help? Cui Lao nodded his head hurriedly as he smiled. “This kid… I haven’t fought for a while now, and I’ve been itching for it. Let’s go, hurry up, let’s leave now!”

As long as it was for Ling Yun, Cui Lao was even willing to kill people, let alone fight.

Ling Yun chuckled and couldn’t believe that Miracle Doctor Xue was right. He couldn’t believe how easy it was for him to gain an ally.

Ling Yun was going to destroy those b*stards who destroyed his clinic. Therefore, he wasn’t going to go easy on them, which was why he invited Cui Lao into the car.

“We still lack one excellent helper. We shall go pick him up now before going to fight, alright?” After Ling Yun got in the car, he turned his head to tell Cui Lao.

“Everything is up to you!”

“Great!”

Tang Meng stepped on the accelerator pedal, and the Ferrari started moving. This time, he only took four to five minutes to arrive at Dugu Mo’s hotel.

It was only a few miles from Mansion Number One to this place.

Back when Dugu Mo first came to Qingshui City, he resided in one of the five star hotels near Qingshui Lake for convenience’ sake. It was also very close to Dragon Mountain.

Ling Yun got Cui Lao and Tang Meng to wait in the car as he got out of the car to enter the hotel. He went to look for Dugu Mo according to the room number he gave him.

When Dugu Mo arrived back at the hotel, he handed the deposit to stay for another two weeks before taking a good and comfortable warm bath. Just when he was lying on the bed and about to watch television, he heard knocking on the door.

“Don’t tell me its the beautiful girl who wants to service me? So irritating! Women are like tigers…” Just as he muttered that, he opened the door and said, “Didn’t I say I don’t want any services… Ah? Ling Yun? Why are you here?”

Ling Yun snickered as he hooked his finger at Dugu Mo and said, “Mr. Bodyguard, let’s go! We’re going to kill people!”

Dugu Mo almost stumbled and sat on the ground. He had finally come out from the crater and had yet to enjoy himself. Why were they going to kill so quickly?

They were in the city, so how could this man say such things so casually?

“Ling Yun, we are in the city. This isn’t the same as when we were in the crater… You can’t kill whoever you say you want to kill…” Dugu Mo started on his long speech.

Ling Yun’s mouth twitched as he gave Dugu Mo the eye before saying, “Didn’t you say you want to drink more dragon saliva? If you want more dragon saliva, put on your clothes and follow me out. Otherwise, you can continue enjoying your television show…”

“Drink, of course, I want to drink! Who told you I don’t want? Give me a moment, and I’ll be out!” The moment Dugu Mo heard dragon saliva, there was no stopping him. He flashed back to his room and put on his clothes at a greater speed than his sword technique!

The two of them left the room and arrived at the car. When he arrived outside the car, Dugu Mo and Cui Lao were both shocked!

This was because the two of them realized that the other party was also an expert half a step into the Xiantian Realm!

Cui Lao was astonished at how his young master casually dragged in another expert who was almost in the Xiantian Realm, one who wasn’t even twenty years old!

This kid… Everything Ling Yun did thus far was beyond Cui Lao’s imagination!

Could it really be that heaven had pity on their family? Is the Ling Family’s future fate really going to be dependent on the Third Master’s son?

Dugu Mo was also slightly dazed as he wondered what kind of person Ling Yun was going to fight tonight. Why was there another expert of his level in the car?

“What are you standing there for? Get in the car!”

It was already past midnight, and Ling Yun was desperate for revenge.

When everyone got in the car, Dugu Mo raised his hands at Cui Lao and greeted him. “Junior’s name is Dugu Mo, it is nice to meet you, senior!”

Cui Lao was shocked as he hurriedly asked, “Little kid, are you a member of the Dugu Family?”

Dugu Mo was slightly doubtful as he nodded to acknowledge that question. Cui Lao was really surprised at how fate brought people together.

Back then, all the famous sects and ancient families came together to deal with the Ling Family. Naturally, the Dugu Family sent their experts too. Even though many of those people didn’t participate in the actual fight itself, they were actually the main culprit who forced Ling Xiao to waste his cultivation, marry someone else, and stopped him from meeting Ling Yun’s birth mother for the rest of his life!

Ai… I wonder if bringing young master back to the sect to acknowledge his ancestors will be a good or bad thing for the Ling Family and for the young master himself…

Cui Lao thought about everything in his heart and didn’t realize that the Ferrari came to a halt at the southwest corner!

“They are all top experts in using poison! All of you better protect yourself!”

“Tang Meng, drive back to Mansion Number One first. I don’t want the poisonous worms to do anything to you!”
