Chapter 577: Meeting Cui Lao Again!

Ling Yun spotted Zhuang Meina. Behind her, her parents, Zhuang Tiande and Zhao Bomin, followed.

Zhuang Meina was especially dressed up today. If it weren’t for her intricate makeup and changes in wardrobe, they would have arrived long ago.

When Zhuang Tiande finally arrived by car, the junction outside Ling Yun’s Ordinary People’s Clinic was already thoroughly packed. The traffic streamed back and forth busily. The cars were moving so slowly that they were akin to snails. He was shocked at the situation before him. He could only park his car afar and get there on foot.

“Is it really the opening of a simple clinic?” As they walked toward the clinic, Zhuang Tiande said this multiple times. Zhuang Meina couldn’t even be bothered to reply anymore.

Zhuang Meina spotted Ling Yun. Streaming through cars, she twisted her flexible waist and rushed towards Ling Yun, waving enthusiastically.

“Ling Yun!”

Zhuang Meina was fully confident. Anyone who was about to hand out 500 million would have this type of confidence with them.

Ling Yun heard her cry as an indescribable feeling washed over him. His aunt was absolutely right.

Honestly, Ling Yun’s thoughts toward Zhuang Meina were that he had absolutely no feelings for her. He didn’t like her, but he didn’t hate her either.

Zhuang Meina was Zhuang Meifeng’s younger sister. He didn’t have any reason to hate her.

However, whenever he met Zhuang Meina, another stunning silhouette would appear before Ling Yun. He would always remember Zhuang Meifeng.

Ling Yun felt that his decision to go to the crater without telling anyone in advance was the reason Zhuang Meifeng was taken away by the Tranquil Sect. He felt fully responsible for that.

Now, he was cultivating with all his might to increase his strength. That was all for the sake of being able to take Zhuang Meifeng back!

To take her back safely!

He didn’t care about the Tranquil Pill or the Tranquil Sect, as he was a miracle doctor and a cultivator!

While he was thinking about Zhuang Meifeng, Zhuang Meina had already rushed to his face.

“Yo, what’s going on today? Why is my aunt here today? What happened to that hottie boyfriend of yours?”

Zhuang Meina’s boyfriend was naturally the Xie Family’s Xie Junyan. Smiling handsomely, Ling Yun didn’t forget to remind Zhuang Meina about that.

“Damn! Who’s your aunt! My sister isn’t even married to you yet!”

Zhuang Meina sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She jumped up immediately. This was her weak point. The person Ling Yun liked was her sister, which was something she refused to admit. Ling Yun was no exception to that.

“Also, I’ll tell you this seriously, Xie Junyan isn’t my boyfriend. I don’t have a boyfriend now!” Zhuang Meina emphasized this again.

This was another one of Zhuang Meina’s weaknesses. She used to like Xie Junyan. Her past self was nothing more than utter humiliation for the current her.

Xie Junyan was incomparable to Ling Yun. He couldn’t even be compared on the same scale.

“It’s just a joke, why are you so agitated?” Ling Yun said cheekily.

Then, he stopped paying attention to Zhuang Meina. That was because Zhuang Tiande and Zhao Bomin walked over.

When Zhuang Tiande saw Ling Yun, he was impossibly awkward. In that instant, he didn’t know what to say. He could only laugh awkwardly.

Zhao Bomin could only speak up, saying, “Ling Yun, I heard Nana mention that your clinic was opening today. Therefore, we’ve come to congratulate you…”

“Thank you!”

Ling Yun didn’t have an ounce of good impression of Zhuang Tiande. However, that didn’t mean that he thought of Zhao Bomin in the same way. She was Zhuang Meifeng’s mother. Naturally, Ling Yun had to treat her with respect.

“Ling Yun, why are there so many people all of a sudden? All of them are…” Zhao Bomin glanced at the entrance of the clinic as she asked on behalf of her husband.

Ling Yun smiled. “That’s right, I didn’t expect this either. I don’t know a lot of people, but they’ve come anyway…”

Zhuang Tiande was still a veteran at managing a business. When he saw this situation, he already understood what was happening. He could only smile casually without saying another word.

He was Qingshui City’s number one merchant in name. Since he was well-known on TV and various media platforms, many people came to greet him as well.

It looks like Nana’s judgment last night was right. Ling Yun has so much influence… Zhuang Tiande thought quietly as he shot his daughter a gaze of approval.

“Aunt, look at all the people outside. It’s too messy. You’d better get inside quickly. There are fewer people on the second floor!”

Ling Yun knew that Zhuang Tiande was someone who could attract lots of attention, so he hurried them into the clinic.

Zhuang Tiande was still Zhuang Meifeng’s father. Since he was here, there was no way Ling Yun could leave them waiting outside. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to face Zhuang Meifeng in the future.

“Hey, Ling Yun, I’ve brought a gift for you too. Do you want to take a look?” Seeing that Ling Yun didn’t hate her, Zhuang Meina celebrated internally. She was excited and proud as she spoke.

Zhuang Tiande’s face soured. “Who talks about gifts in front of the entrance? Know your place!”

Anyone who worked in business knew that giving a person gifts in front of others was either a way to emphasize their importance or to show off their relationship. Otherwise, it was to flaunt their wealth.

In fact, up until now, other than Long Kun and Long Wu’s Green Dragon Jade that couldn’t be shown in public, there were many other important gifts that Ling Yun hadn’t received yet.

For instance, Lin Zhenggang and Miracle Doctor Xue’s…

That wasn’t because Lin Zhenggang and Miracle Doctor Xue had forgotten, it was because it wasn’t time yet.

As for Zhang Manyun’s transfer documents, they could only be considered a meeting gift. It was just to avoid the awkwardness of meeting him empty-handed.

Ling Yun told Tang Meng to take Zhuang Tiande and his family to the second floor. His aunt was in for a busy time now!

That was indeed a fact. At first, Qin Dongxue could manage with just Lin Zhenggang. However, with Miracle Doctor Xue, Liu Li, Kong Xiuru, and those important oldies coming up as well, she was getting horribly busy.

If it were in terms of martial prowess, Qin Dongxue was definitely adept. However, receiving important figures wasn’t her forte. She was a fairy of the nine skies that descended to earth. She simply hated such superficial matters.

Finally, Yao Rou and Liang Fengyi stepped in to help as well. Together with Zhang Manyun, Li Hongmei, and Zhang Ling, they finally managed to deal with the situation.

Now, the elders that Ling Yun had to handle were on the second floor. Kong Xiuru was Ling Yun’s form teacher, so naturally, she was one of them. Liu Li was pregnant with her child and was a special case that required special attention. Naturally, she was on the second floor as well.

As for Li Hongmei, she was personally invited by Ning Lingyu. Ning Lingyu had a kind heart with a peaceful mind. Even though the times weren’t the same and she had turned into a real princess, she remained the same. She didn’t treat Li Hongmei differently just because she only owned a small shop.

“Sigh, if only Zhuang Meifeng wasn’t taken away by the Tranquil Sect. If she was faced with a situation like this, she would be so happy now…”

As Ling Yun watched Zhuang Tiande and his family walk in and head to the second floor, he couldn’t help but think about this. At the same time, he hated the Tranquil Sect’s priestesses even more.

“Damn, Tranquil Pill, was it? I’ll create a bunch of Yin-Yang Aphrodisiac. When the time comes, I’ll see how exactly you’ll cleanse your heart!” Ling Yun ground his teeth as he muttered angrily.

This time, Ling Yun had made up his mind. He was going to use the Sky Yang Herb and the Ground Yin Herb to create the Yin-Yang Aphrodisiac. Without using much, he was going to make those priestesses lose control!

“Huh?”

Just as Ling Yun was quietly raging, his divine sense suddenly activated, and he lifted his head and looked toward the east.

“Haha. Brat, it’s been about a month, did you miss me?”

Cui Lao’s silhouette appeared in Ling Yun’s field of vision. He walked towards Ling Yun slowly, his hands clasped behind his back. Even though he was moving slowly, his hands were still holding onto a strange bag. He looked very normal.

Ling Yun’s face glowed as he walked forward quickly. He said to Cui Lao excitedly, “Cui Lao, where have you been? You didn’t even say anything when you left. I was so worried!”

Ling Yun was excited, but Cui Lao was even more thrilled. His gaze revealed excitement as his eyes shone with tears. He looked like a grandpa that was looking at his very own grandson. His lips quivered as he said gently, “You’ve grown taller, and lost some weight. Your spiritual energy has been hidden really well. Great, not bad at all!”

Cui Lao patted Ling Yun’s shoulder excitedly. However, he was a little choked up and couldn’t say any more.

Their meeting this time wasn’t the same as their first one. The Ling Family was devastated and weakened. In order to comfort Ling Lie, Cui Lao had to act as if nothing had happened and look completely confident. However, when he met Ling Yun personally, he recalled the pitiful Ling Family, the white-haired Ling Lie, and the missing Ling Xiao. He was so choked up that he couldn’t say a single word.

Ling Yun didn’t know why Cui Lao was so excited. However, he knew that Cui Lao treated him very well. It was reflected in his eyes!

“Cui Lao, your old injury has recovered by around 80%. No matter what, you can’t sneak away this time. Even if you’re going to leave, I have to make sure your injury is fully treated before you go!” Ling Yun’s tone revealed a tinge of blame.

When Cui Lao stabilized his emotions, he forcibly put on a smiling face and lifted his bag. He shook it in front of Ling Yun. “How can you say that I left secretly? I knew that you were going to open your clinic once you returned from sea, so I went to prepare a gift for you. Luckily, I made it in time. I almost missed this!”

“It’s just the opening of a small clinic. What gift do I need? Hurry up and go in and have some tea on the second floor…”

This time, Ling Yun didn’t send anyone else to do the job. He personally escorted Cui Lao into the clinic. In front of the entire crowd, he took Cui Lao to the second floor and personally introduced him to the others before returning to the first floor.

Qin Dongxue had met Cui Lao before. She knew that this old man was willing to walk through life-and-death together with Ling Yun, so she treated Cui Lao with utmost courtesy.

Ling Yun walked out of the clinic again and saw Long Tianjiao and his men. They were around 40 to 50 years old. With one look, they seemed like people who observed courtesy all the time and were used to giving orders to others.

However, next to Long Tianjiao, all of them looked like rats that met a cat. Smiling awkwardly, they were bent so low that it seemed like they had turned into shrimps.

“Damn, hasn’t he left Qingshui City? Did he feel that he wasn’t slapped hard enough?” Ling Yun muttered quietly. However, he still walked forward lazily to meet them.

“Congratulations, Brother Ling, I wish your Ordinary People’s Clinic prosperity and good luck!”

When Long Tianjiao saw Ling Yun, he walked forward hurriedly and clasped his hands into a fist. He gave an unimaginable display of intimacy!
