Chapter 420: Meeting

~7 min read 1,285 words

"Lingyun, we're here!" A seemingly very ordinary women's sedan stopped in front of a luxurious Villa.

Very quickly, a person walked over, guiding them to park the car in a parking space around the Villa. There were already an unknown number of luxury cars parked around their vehicle; Chen Jing's ordinary sedan seemed somewhat out of place here, but that person's face always wore a proper smile and did not show a trace of disdain.

"The servants of the Liu family seem to be somewhat extraordinary!" Lingyun, who had walked to the entrance, said to Chen Jing beside him.

Hearing this, Chen Jing burst into laughter: "That person just now is no servant of the Liu family; he is the Liu family patriarch's own grandson, the Liu family's current eldest young master, Liu Tianqi!"

"That person is the eldest young master of the Liu family?" A trace of astonishment also appeared in Lingyun's eyes.

"Well, Brother Tianqi has always been like this, calling it 'experiencing life.' Ever since he started university, he hasn't taken a single cent from home; whether it's tuition or living expenses, he has earned it all himself!"

"So that's how it is!"

"Su Wanyue, we're here!" Chen Jing suddenly saw Su Wanyue not far away and waved at her.

"Lingyun, you came too?" Su Wanyue saw Lingyun and the other person and walked over quickly.

Beside Su Wanyue were Yang Yang and Xiao Xiaoxiao; seeing how the two of them were stuck together, it was clear they were already a couple. Even Lingyun could feel pink Bubbles surrounding the two of them at every moment.

"Lingyun." Yang Yang greeted Lingyun with a smile.

"Looking at the two of you, this must mean it's a done deal!" Lingyun laughed.

A flush of red rose on Xiao Xiaoxiao's face, and she then hid behind Yang Yang. Yang Yang smiled at Lingyun, clearly agreeing with Lingyun's statement.

The group walked into the Villa, chatting and laughing. Quite a few people cast curious gazes at their group; naturally, these gazes mostly landed on Lingyun. After all, Chen Jing and the others could be considered prominent figures among the younger generation in Beijing, but Lingyun was quite a stranger to them. However, someone who could chat and laugh with them like that was definitely no ordinary person, and immediately, quite a few people were considering in their hearts how to greet Lingyun.

As soon as he stepped into the Villa, Lingyun felt an extremely peaceful True Qi appear within his perception. This True Qi contained powerful vitality and seemed capable of repairing all injuries. The only flaw was that this True Qi was still slightly weak, and it seemed the cultivation technique was flawed, unable to fully unleash the life force within the True Qi.

"This kind of True Qi..." Lingyun grabbed at the Void with his right hand, and wisps of extremely faint, emerald-green True Qi appeared in his palm.

Lingyun cast his gaze toward the center of the hall, where an elderly man sat; this wisp of True Qi was emanating from his body. The old man had clearly just recovered from a serious illness, and there was a hint of weakness in his tone, but one could still feel a trace of the aura of golden spears and iron horses in his peaceful voice. This was clearly a murderous aura naturally cultivated by the old man from years of life-and-death struggles.

What caught Lingyun's attention most was that a wisp of golden aura, difficult to detect, lingered on the old man's body; this wisp of aura was actually National Fortune. In other words, the old man was protected by National Fortune; from this point alone, one could see how much merit the old man had once established for this country.

The old man's life was like a candle in the wind in Lingyun's eyes, with the possibility of being extinguished at any time, but this situation was being held in check by a strand of emerald-green True Qi. However, the owner of this True Qi clearly had not been able to unleash all the vitality within it; otherwise, the old man's current condition should have already returned to health.

"Sister Ling Shuang, what's wrong?" In a corner, someone wearing a light green dress asked Ling Shuang beside her.

This young girl was the object Qiu Yu wanted to pursue, the Liu family's third young lady, Liu Yuyan. Being observant, she discovered that Ling Shuang's expression had suddenly become very strange just now, and at the same time, her gaze was scanning among the guests, as if she were looking for someone.

"I don't know either." Ling Shuang's gaze continued to patrol the crowd. "But I can feel that someone very important to me has appeared here."

Just now, she had suddenly felt a palpitation in the True Qi within her body, as if it had encountered something that made it extremely excited; this was a situation she had never seen before. The anomaly in her True Qi could not help but make her feel a bit excited—could it be that the person very important to her had appeared?

"Sister Ling Shuang, do you see those two women over there? One is named Chen Jing, the other is Su Wanyue; they are both prominent figures in Beijing!" Liu Yuyan saw the two women beside Lingyun and introduced them to Ling Shuang while pointing at them. "You are a girl just like them; surely you will have many common topics!"

Ling Shuang subconsciously looked toward Chen Jing and the other woman, and then she saw Lingyun between the two. The moment she saw Lingyun, Ling Shuang's gaze could no longer move away; the True Qi within her body seemed to let out a cheer, and its speed of circulation could not help but quicken by a few points.

The one who felt this most deeply was Liu Yuyan beside Ling Shuang; she only felt a powerful aura suddenly surge from the usually peaceful Ling Shuang. This aura was like an ancient giant god, instantly suppressing her; even though her strength was not inferior to Ling Shuang's, in this instant she felt that beside Ling Shuang, she was like a little Rabbit encountering a fierce tiger, completely without the power to fight back.

Just at this moment, Lingyun's gaze also looked toward Ling Shuang's direction. After all, since he entered the Villa, he had felt a gaze looking at him, and this gaze also contained some kind of unclear meaning.

"Lingyun, that's the miracle doctor I told you about!" Chen Jing followed Lingyun's gaze and happened to see Ling Shuang in the corner.

"She is the miracle doctor you mentioned?" Lingyun asked.

"That's right, she is the miracle doctor I mentioned; her name is Ling Shuang, and it seems she is even from your same clan!" Chen Jing said. "That's not right, why has she been staring at you?"

"Let's go over and take a look!" Lingyun said.

Passing through the crowd, Lingyun stopped in front of Ling Shuang. At this moment, Ling Shuang felt the True Qi within her body circulating even faster, as if cheering and leaping because of the appearance of the person in front of her.

"Hello, my name is Lingyun." Lingyun greeted the girl in front of him with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Ling Shuang." Ling Shuang nodded at Lingyun in a somewhat flustered manner.

After greeting Lingyun, Ling Shuang felt the boiling True Qi within her body begin to calm down. Liu Yuyan beside her also let out a light breath; clearly, the oppressive aura that had been on Ling Shuang just now made her feel very pressured.
