Chapter 522: Busy Ling Yun

Ling Yun held Yao Rou’s tender waist and went downstairs only to find out that ⁠— in just a short while — Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu had vanished from sight and were no longer in the clinic.

“These two kids are looking for trouble, what if my clinic gets attacked…” Ling Yun lamented with an overcast face.

“Who would dare attack it?” Yao Rou laughed tenderly.

She was right. Judging simply by the Land Rover and the large Mercedes-Benz parked at the entrance of the Ordinary People’s Clinic, no one would dare intrude on the territory ⁠— unless they were blind.

Ling Yun took out his cell phone and called Tang Meng. “Where have you two gone? Get your a**es back her.” They had just deliberately ruined his business, and the score wasn’t settled yet.

“I’ll be back in a minute.” Tang Meng hung up the phone as soon as he finished the sentence.

The two of them had indeed returned quickly, with one of them hand-carrying a large swelling bag upon their arrival.

With his divine sense, he knew without looking that bundles of cash were inside the bag. “What’s it for?” Ling Yun asked.

“This place is near the bank, so I retrieved some cash in passing.” Tang Meng smiled sheepishly.

The duo was really adept in their business dealings. Without a single word from Ling Yun, they rushed to the bank to retrieve five million yuan in cash as pocket money for him, all while he was upstairs.

“Keep going you two…” Ling Yun glared at Tang Meng for a second, then proceeded to quickly store the two large bags of cash into the spatial ring. He was beaming with delight.

“Big Brother Yun, I just transferred two thousand to your card, did you get the notification?” Tang Meng winked surreptitiously and reminded him.

The “two thousand” that Tang Meng spoke of was actually twenty million.

Ling Yun quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at it. He found that there were indeed two short messages, and each came with ten million yuan. Upon confirming the messages, he nodded his head right after.

“Since there isn’t much happening in the clinic now, would you like to visit Grandpa Xue with me?” he turned to Yao Rou and asked. It was a busy day for him.

“I have to express my gratitude for Grandpa Xue’s life-saving grace…” Yao Rou nodded her head lightly after a brief moment of thought.

Ling Yun had the same intention. When Yao Rou was seriously injured by the Xiangxi master, it was Miracle Doctor Xue who rescued her and helped her hang on until Ling Yun returned.

After Ling Yun had cured Yao Rou, he arranged for Yao Rou to stay at Miracle Doctor Xue’s place for a few days. Miracle Doctor Xue took great care of her physical health, and for that, she had to express her gratitude in person.

“Then let’s go!”

With that, they left. They sloppily locked the door and didn’t even bother dropping the door curtains. The four people got on the bus and returned along the original road, heading for the Qingxi Villa District.

When Ling Yun arrived at the main entrance of Miracle Doctor Xue’s house, he was leisurely taking a stroll just outside the villa. It was as though he had predicted Ling Yun’s arrival and was specifically waiting for him at the door.

“Chap, are you finally back?” Miracle Doctor Xue greeted him with a smile as Ling Yun hurried over.

“Yes, I’m back, Grandpa Xue. Your complexion has been looking better and better!” Ling Yun exclaimed happily when he noticed Grandpa Xue’s ruddy face and the vitality in his breath.

“Grandpa Xue…” Yao Rou followed right after him and bowed deeply with great reverence towards Miracle Doctor Xue.

“You’re too polite. Let’s go, we’ll talk inside the house,” Miracle Doctor Xue said as he waved his hands.

When he entered the villa and returned to the living room, Miracle Doctor Xue sat down on the sofa and made himself at ease. He waved towards the quartet and smiled kindly. “Sit as you please, there’s no need to restrain yourselves.”

Ling Yun most certainly didn’t restrain himself, so Miracle Doctor Xue mainly meant it for the trio including Tang Meng.

As for Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, how could they possibly have the audacity to sit? The two of them had nodded in unison, but they didn’t move a single inch. Instead, they stood squarely in the living room and dared not exhale too loudly.

Yao Rou naturally didn’t dare to sit either, but Ling Yun dragged her to sit beside him.

“Knowing that you would be back, that girl Ning Er has been planning to skip school since yesterday morning until she saw you. I lectured her a little, and now she’s bickering with me…”

Of course, Miracle Doctor Xue wouldn’t treat his future grandson-in-law as an outsider. He saw Ling Yun and spilled his guts to him, gloominess written all over his face.

What could Ling Yun possibly say? He could only add on to Miracle Doctor Xue’s words. “Truancy is wrong.”

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu tried their hardest to hold in their laughter until their faces and necks were scarlet red. They puffed and blew for a long while but still dared not laugh out loud.

Ling Yun was the undisputed king of truancy in Qingshui High. For that sentence to come out of his mouth, it was as if the world had flipped upside down.

“Grandpa Xue, I was busy going out to sea a month ago. The departure was so hasty that I had no time to bid you farewell. Will you fault me for it?”

“Ning Er told me all about it. So how did it go, did you succeed?” Miracle Doctor Xue stared at Ling Yun, eyes brimming with radiating vigor.

With just one sentence, Miracle Doctor Xue had conveyed to Ling Yun that he was fully aware of the transformation of Bai Xianer and that there was no need for a regurgitation by him.

Ling Yun, with his cleverness, gave a light chuckle and nodded. “Thank God.”

“Bring it back and let this old man experience something new!” Miracle Doctor Xue said, as if absorbed in thought. He then changed countenance and stood upright.

“Certainly!” Ling Yun readily promised.

“Grandpa Xue, my clinic has finished renovation, and I plan to open it for business this weekend. I came over today mainly to thank you for helping me apply for the license to practice medicine,” Ling Yun said shortly after.

Upon hearing this, Miracle Doctor Xue laughed incredulously. “You rascal, coming over at this time to say such nonsense. Are you bent on triggering your Grandpa Xue?” he said with his beard shaking.

Putting aside the fact that they were going to be one family soon, the few presents that Ling Yun had given to Xue Meining on her birthday were treasures sought-after by the world. For Ling Yun to talk about the license to practice medicine now, Xue Miracle Doctor couldn’t hold his emotions in.

Ling Yun saw that the old man was serious this time and quickly diverted the conversation. “Haha, I wouldn’t dare. Grandpa Xue, actually, I have come today for advice. As someone with seniority, you’ve got to teach me how to operate this clinic.”

It was a good speech by Ling Yun, enough to turn Miracle Doctor Xue’s frown upside down. “Rascal, with your medical skills, why do you still need my advice?” The old man still condemned Ling Yun at first, and he caressed his beard and lightly bowed his head.

“Nonetheless, since you asked, I will offer you advice with my seniority just this once. It’s up to you to listen…” The conversation had taken a turn.

“Please proceed, Grandpa Xue,” Ling Yun said while looking earnestly up at him. Ling Yun, at this point, was just like a good child in kindergarten.

“I will omit the highfalutin and pompous principles since those are for kids. Besides, I know that you wouldn’t listen even if I talked about them,” Miracle Doctor Xue said seriously after he coughed softly and cleared his throat.

For someone as senior as Miracle Doctor Xue, he had already seen through Ling Yun. He knew that talking high-flown principles wouldn’t work on him as he was an unconstrained person who heeded only his own words. “I only have one piece of advice for you. Since we practice medicine to cure the sick and heal the wounded, remember this—saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda. The healer’s heart is akin to a parent’s heart,” Miracle Doctor Xue said right after his introduction.

After that, Miracle Doctor Xue immediately switched to telepathic communication and told Ling Yun, “Rascal, I know you have a ferocious spirit in your bones, but you’re actually a very kind person deep down. You must distinguish between killing and saving people.”

“Thank you for the words of advice,” Ling Yun said right after with a stern look on his face as he stood up seriously and deeply bowed towards Miracle Doctor Xue.

“It’s okay, you are an extremely intelligent man, there was really no need for me to talk too much. I’ll end it here before it becomes too long-winded…” Miracle Doctor Xue smiled and nodded

“Grandpa Xue, I wish to impart my acupuncture techniques to Ning Er as soon as possible. Take a look,” Ling Yun said as he sat back down.

“That concerns the both of you, it has nothing to do with me,” Miracle Doctor Xue said as he stroked his beard and smiled.

This time, Miracle Doctor Xue was very decisive, and he quickly became a manager who minded his own business.

After Ling Yun’s business was finished, Yao Rou finally had a chance to express her gratitude. Miracle Doctor Xue blamed Ling Yun for being a busybody and glared once more at him, but he could only accept it.

Half an hour later, Ling Yun politely declined Miracle Doctor Xue’s invitation to stay for lunch with the excuse that he had something else to do. He took the three of them back with him.

The quartet once more returned to Ling Yun’s Mansion Number One.

Dugu Mo erected himself dashingly in the courtyard of Mansion Number One, carrying a knapsack and sword as he waited for Ling Yun’s return.

Ling Yun was perplexed and asked, “Hey, what’s gotten into you? Why do you have a backpack on?”

“Ling Yun, I have just gotten notice. Urgent family matters require me to go back immediately,” Dugu Mo said hesitantly, being somewhat depressed and somewhat reluctant to leave.

“Is it to attend the Devil Abolishing Conference on Dragon Tiger Mountain?” Ling Yun asked through telepathy as his heart vibrated.

“How did you know? But it’s not just this, there are other urgent family matters too…” Dugu Mo was taken aback but replied through the same channel.

On hearing that his family still had urgent matters, Ling Yun made no more effort to convince him to stay. He gave Dugu Mo’s shoulders a rather carefree pat and said, “That’s fine, go back first. We will meet at Dragon Tiger Mountain in one month’s time.”

Dugu Mo scratched his head. In fact, he had been thinking about Ling Yun’s Dragon Vein Sword. He hadn’t played with it enough the last time. However, he had no choice but to let out a sigh and turn to leave.

“Hold on!”

Ling Yun stopped him and continued to pass him telepathic messages. “Would you like some dragon saliva before you leave? You can take some back if you want to…”

Dugu Mo’s expression was stagnant, and his heart was full of righteous ardor, but he shook his head resolutely. “No, after I broke through to the Xiantian realm, there seems to be an enormous surge of energy in my body. I don’t know what’s going on for the time being. I have to figure it out first…”

Ling Yun laughed in his heart and thought, An enormous surge of energy? That is the beam of Immortal Spiritual Energy I gave you. Its effects are finally visible!

Regardless, Ling Yun felt that Dugu Mo was a valuable friend, as he was able to come clean with Ling Yun no matter what the issue was. He smiled joyfully.

“I’m heading out! See you on Dragon Tiger Mountain!”

He waved goodbye to Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu and was gone like the wind.

“Big Brother Yun, should we see Big Brother Dugu off?” Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu asked Ling Yun.

Watching the silhouette of Dugu Mo, Ling Yun smiled and shook his head. “A true man doesn’t fret over gathering and separation. Let nature run its course.”

The quartet returned to the house, sat around, and chatted for a while. When it was nearing noon, Tang Meng suddenly received a call.

“A foreign number?” Tang Meng whined after checking his phone.

Ling Yun thought in his heart that it could have been Long Tianjiao sending money over, but he smiled and stayed silent.

As expected, after Tang Meng picked up the phone and communicated a few sentences, he hung up and said, “Big Brother Yun, someone wants to see me, I have to go.”

Ling Yun smiled. “Let Tie Xiaohu accompany you. Also, remember that however prominent the other party is, don’t disgrace me, understand?”

“Understood!” The duo walked out of the living room simultaneously and left Mansion Number One in the large Mercedes-Benz.

Ling Yun saw them off, turned around, and told Yao Rou, “Rou Er, I’m going too. Can you stay at home for a while?”
