Chapter 422: Conflict

"Divine Doctor Ling, can this small piece of jade really cure my grandfather?" Liu Yuyan asked with some doubt, looking at the jade in Ling Shuang's hand.

"Absolutely!" Ling Shuang gripped the jade in her hand tightly. "This piece of jade contains a powerful force that can stimulate all the vitality within my True Qi. If there are no external forces interfering, curing your grandfather's illness is no problem at all!"

Ling Shuang looked at Lingyun's departing back, a trace of excitement in her eyes: "It is truly as Master said, the real experts hide in the city. Only by coming out to gain experience does one know how high this sky really is! This person also knows Shennong True Qi and must have a deep connection with the Shennong Lineage. If I could obtain his guidance, my Shennong True Qi would surely be able to make another breakthrough!"

"Sister Yuyan, do you know who he is?" Ling Shuang asked Liu Yuyan beside her.

"As for this person, his background is very mysterious. Although there is quite a lot of information about his past that can be found, no one has been able to figure out who he really is. The only thing that can be confirmed now is that his strength is at least at the Golden Core realm. As for whether he is even stronger, no one knows."

Liu Yuyan said. Ling Shuang looked at Lingyun's back and nodded. Perhaps the other party was like her, a descendant of some reclusive experts who only began to show their strength and gain experience in the mortal world because of the Heaven and Earth Revival.

"Lingyun, did you just say that girl was using Shennong True Qi?" Su Wanyue whispered to Lingyun. "I have seen records of Shennong True Qi in ancient books. It is said that those who possess Shennong True Qi are all descendants of the Shennong Lineage, and their True Qi has the ability to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones. Is this true?"

"That's right, Shennong True Qi that has reached the Great Accomplishment Realm does indeed have this ability, but in her current state, she is still far from that realm!" Lingyun said with a smile.

Just as Lingyun and Chen Jing were chatting and laughing, an untimely voice suddenly rang out: "Chen Jing, what are you doing here?"

This voice had no restraint at all, almost ignoring the fact that this place was Liu Laoyezi's birthday banquet.

Such a loud voice obviously disturbed the guests at the banquet, and they frowned one after another, looking toward the source of the voice.

Chen Jing looked up and saw the person who had arrived, her brows furrowing slightly: "Zhou Tianqi, what I do here, does it have anything to do with you?"

"How could it not!" Zhou Tianqi looked at Lingyun sitting beside Chen Jing, his eyes almost spitting fire. "You must remember, you are a married woman! Now you are actually here flirting with others; do you think you are worthy of me?"

"A married woman?" Hearing these four words, the anger in Chen Jing's eyes surged up violently. Previously, due to her mother's ashes, she had tolerated Zhou Tianqi's behavior, but now that she was no longer bound, she naturally could not swallow her pride any longer. "Zhou Tianqi, if you have the guts, say that again!"

"What guts or no guts? Have you forgotten that we have a marriage contract between us!" Zhou Tianqi said through gritted teeth.

"A marriage contract? Two years ago, in the presence of over a dozen families in Beijing, I already annulled the marriage contract with you. How can you still say we have a marriage contract?" Chen Jing's tone contained deep anger. "Also, have you forgotten? I once said that if you used this matter to pester me again, I would let you know what the price is. It seems you are no longer afraid!"

"You, you—" Zhou Tianqi pointed at Chen Jing, his tone filled with a trace of fear. All along, Chen Jing had been quite restrained toward him, but today she had shown an extremely aggressive side in front of him, which made him furious.

Zhou Tianqi's gaze fell on Lingyun, the depths of his eyes filled with resentment: "Chen Jing never showed this attitude in front of me before. Now that she has become like this, it must be because of this man! This person, damn him! Damn him! Damn him!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly shifted his fire onto Lingyun: "Liu Laoyezi's birthday banquet is not a place for just any stray cat or dog to enter. Everyone who can enter here is a famous figure in their respective fields. What kind of thing are you, daring to appear at Liu Laoyezi's banquet? Who knows where you snuck in from, and whether you intend to harm the Liu family! Security, throw him out for me!"

Looking at the shouting Zhou Tianqi, the people present looked down on him even more. This young master of the Zhou Family was truly spoiled beyond measure by his mother and grandmother. He didn't even look at what kind of occasion this was. This place was the Liu family, and it was where Liu Laoyezi was holding his birthday banquet. The person receiving guests at the door was Liu Laoyezi's eldest grandson; Lingyun being able to enter the Villa was clearly with the approval of this young master.

Now that Zhou Tianqi was shouting here, wanting to call security to throw Lingyun out, wasn't this slapping the Liu family in the face? No wonder some people said that ever since the old master of the Zhou Family passed away, the Zhou Family had no capable people left.

"The young master of the Zhou Family is truly imposing, wanting to throw out my guest with every word!" Just at this moment, a voice rang out coldly. "Don't forget, this is the Liu family, not the Zhou family. You are not allowed to run wild here!"

"As a guest, to actually act as the host in the host's home and want to throw out other guests, this is truly a huge joke! I had heard that the young master of the Zhou Family was arrogant and domineering, but seeing it today, it is truly extraordinary."

The crowd parted to the left and right, revealing two women. Those who saw these two women could not help but gasp. One of them was the only girl of the Liu family, the apple of everyone's eye in the Liu family. The other was the mysterious divine doctor who had pulled Liu Laoyezi back from the gates of hell, whom everyone wanted to befriend. Now that both of them were standing up for Lingyun, the hidden implications were truly thought-provoking!

Seeing these two standing up for Lingyun at the same time, the anger in Zhou Tianqi's eyes grew even more intense. He sneered at Lingyun: "I was wondering what kind of person could bewitch a slut like Chen Jing, but it turns out he's just a coward who only knows how to hide behind women!"

Hearing Zhou Tianqi insulting Chen Jing, Lingyun, who originally did not want to bother with a mad dog, felt a flash of anger in his eyes.

He looked up at Zhou Tianqi and coldly spat out one word: "Roll!"

When Lingyun said this word, the corners of Zhou Tianqi's mouth suddenly curled into a sneer. So the person in front of him was just a piece of trash who only knew how to talk big. Just as he was about to mock Lingyun, he suddenly felt an irresistible will slam into his mind, making him completely dazed.

Afterward, the people present saw that as soon as Lingyun's word "roll" left his mouth, the arrogant young master of the Liu family in front of him directly squatted down, hugged his calves with both hands, curled himself into a ball, and rolled straight out of the hall.

Everyone present gasped, not daring to have even the slightest bit of contempt for Lingyun again.

As people in Beijing, they naturally had some understanding of how much weight the young master of the Zhou Family carried. But the dignified young master of the Zhou Family couldn't even withstand a single word from Lingyun; the implications were worth pondering.

If one were to be told to "roll" by Lingyun in public, and then end up rolling away curled into a ball just like Zhou Tianqi, that would truly be losing both face and dignity.
