“Let me see, let me see!”
Before Bai Xianer could clearly see the specifics of the card or get a firm grip on it, the card was nabbed by Long Wu.
In fact, even if Long Wu hadn’t taken the identity card, Bai Xianer wouldn’t understand what was on it since she was illiterate.
Long Wu flipped and flopped the card, observing it for quite some time. Then she glanced at Ling Yun as if she realized something and returned the card to Bai Xianer.
Bai Xianer was now a part of Ling Yun’s family, a fact made evident from their shared home address on her identity card.
Ling Yun, however, was absorbed in another problem. He asked, “Great Lawyer Long, do you have any good ideas for when she goes out?”
“Idiot, is using a face mask the only concealment technique you know? What a stupid fool!” Long Wu glanced complacently at Ling Yun and exclaimed with a smirk.
“I’ll tell you, for times like this, just buy a pair of sunglasses. Bingo!”
Sunglasses, the indispensable item for a superstar going out. Being able to cover a large part of the face and counteracting any attempts to distinguish the facial features. In that manner, they prevented troubles of all kinds.
Ling Yun was way too dense to know about the existence of sunglasses. As for the Bolon sunglasses that Lin Menghan had given him, he had long forgotten where he placed them.
Ling Yun’s eyes lit up immediately, and he slapped his head. “Yeah, how could I have forgotten this?”
Judging purely by appearance, Ling Yun and Bai Xianer were in their own leagues. They could indeed reduce unnecessary trouble by donning a pair of sunglasses.
Without hesitation, Ling Yun pulled out his phone and was about to call Tang Meng for a bunch of sunglasses.
Long Wu stopped him and grumbled coyly, “It’s just sunglasses, we’ll get them for you…”
Long Wu had been planning to gift Ling Yun something, but she was still undecided. Now that the opportunity had arisen, she had to take it.
Ling Yun nodded his head. After all, a pair of sunglasses was the same regardless of the buyer. He didn’t talk money with Long Wu either. He looked at the time before standing up and saying, “You two will stay at home first and eat lunch by yourselves. I will be making a trip to school.”
The undisputed king of truancy had long forgotten what classes were. The period of his truancy would have been boundless if not for him picking Xue Meining up today.
“Xian Er, store your identity card well, lest you need it…”
Ling Yun gave the two a few words of instruction, then he left for Qingshui High. He drove straight to the first floor of the teaching block, where the Grade 11 and 12 students studied.
As he was parking the car, the noon dismissal bell rang. He sent Xue Meining a text and waited in the car.
On receiving the text, Xue Meining was overjoyed and couldn’t contain her excitement. She bolted out of the sophomore and junior’s classroom and rushed downstairs at lighting speed, striding on her legs of unmatched proportion and beauty.
Her classmates were all utterly dumbfounded as to what ignited such excitement.
In one glance, she had noticed Ling Yun’s Land Rover as she bolted down the stairs. Without thinking nor hesitation, she opened the door and rode shotgun.
“Big Brother Yun, you’re so bad! It has been two days since you returned, and only now are you picking me up!”
As soon as she got in the car, she shut her delicately contoured lips and pouted her alluring little mouth, all while voicing her dissatisfaction with how Ling Yun neglected her.
“Cough… I just returned yesterday. Surely I have to make my way home first, right?”
Of course, Ling Yun wouldn’t admit that he went to see Lin Menghan. If he did, he would surely have to spend half a day coaxing the little demon girl once she became jealous.
“What would you like for lunch?” Ling Yun changed the subject, chuckling as he asked the question.
“Mm… anything is fine!” For Xue Meining, what was on the table didn’t matter at all. Just the sight of Ling Yun had filled and fulfilled her.
“Well then, let’s grab food outside…” Ling Yun started the engine and left the campus.
By then, there was a crowd of busybodies building up around them. They had to leave right then and there. If the car was blocked, he shouldn’t think about leaving anytime soon.
“Wait… Big Brother Yun,” Xue Meining exclaimed all of a sudden.
“What?” Ling Yun asked as he rotated the steering wheel and started to reverse gradually.
“There’s still my sister.” Xue Meining blushed and pointed to the east, where the teaching building for the Grade 11 students was located.
“Your sister?” Ling Yun was dazed for a moment before he realized that the sister she was referring to was Miao Xiaomiao.
Before Ling Yun went out to sea, he took Ning Er to the Tiger Cliff on Dragon Mountain. There he explained to her how Miao Xiaomiao had solved a Herculean puzzle for Miracle Doctor Xue.
For over a month, Miao Xiaomiao and Xue Meining had regarded each other as sisters. Miao Xiaomiao no longer stayed in the hotel, moving to stay with Xue Meining. They had many things in common — a blossoming youth, divine beauty, and unparalleled intellect. They were the best sisters.
“Oh, Miao Xiaomiao? She’s still in class, huh? You can give her a call. Tell her that we’re waiting at the school gate,” Ling Yun said with a smile.
For now, Ling Yun didn’t want to be seen by students from Grade 12 Class 6, so he drove to the entrance outside the school.
After Xue Meining ended her call with Miao Xiaomiao, she complained to Ling Yun, “Big Brother Yun, when will that Dugu Mo move out of your villa? How can I move in if he’s still there?”
Ling Yun thought that this little demon girl indeed had a fiery temperament and that she was relentless enough to still intend on moving into his villa.
Of course, she was anxious. She had extorted twenty million yuan from Miracle Doctor Xue to cover the renovation fees of Mansion Number One.
“Dugu Mo just moved out today. If you wish to move in, you can at any time.” Ling Yun chuckled.
“Really? Then I want to move in with Big Sister!”
Ling Yun was momentarily shocked at the buy-one-get-one-free combo. However, he had an excess of guest rooms in Mansion Number One, so the tenancy of one room was a small matter to him. “Up to you.” he nodded without hesitation.
“Wow! That’s amazing!” Xue Meining clapped exuberantly. Little did she know that she was a beautiful sheep entering the castle of the Big Bad Wolf.
Ling Yun, however, had more elaborate plans. For him to impart the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to Xue Meining, Xue Meining must also cultivate martial arts and possess True Qi inside her body.
The high amount of spiritual energy in Mansion Number One would greatly speed up her training process, which was the true agenda of Ling Yun.
Of course, Ling Yun could proceed with Dual cultivation with Xue Meining too. The physicality and the innate cultivation abilities of Xue Meining were in no way inferior to Lin Menghan. Furthermore, she was younger, so the rate of growth would be greater too. Ling Yun, however, didn’t prefer this.
The reason was simple — Xue Meining was seventeen, which was way too young. Dual Cultivation with Xue Meining didn’t align with Ling Yun’s modus operandi.
Though, it was without question that Ling Yun had a special, unequivocal kind of love for her.
“Clank clank clank…”
Next to the Land Rover stood an elegant, long-haired beauty. She had long, fair hair that drifted with the winds, gleaming peach red cheeks and a pair of stunning eyes that resembled the crescent moon on the horizon. She lifted her hand and knocked on the window at the passenger’s seat.
“Big Sister, come on… Hmm, you can sit in the rear!” Xue Meining pushed open the car door lightly and invited Miao Xiaomiao into the car. She was honestly reluctant to sit in the rear.
The early stage of Houtian Realm Level Eight. Ling Yun had grasped Miao Xiaomiao’s current cultivation realm with a scan using his divine sense. Even a genius like him couldn’t help but marvel secretly at her speed.
Miao Xiaomiao’s rate of cultivation was ridiculously fast. She had leveled up another major realm in a little over a month.
Miao Xiaomiao peeked over the car window at Ling Yun in the driver’s seat, smiled daintily, opened the back door of the Land Rover, and sat in the car.
Chubby Xiao Jin spread its translucent golden wings and dove right down from the skies, landing directly on the shoulders of Miao Xiaomiao. It flaunted its chirping shortly before spreading its wings once again and flying up into the stratosphere.
“Xiao Jin has grown a lot stronger.”Ling Yun chuckled and turned around to look at Miao Xiaomiao.
“You’re better,” Miao Xiaomiao said calmly, rolling her gorgeous eyes.
Since the beauty wasn’t playing along, Ling Yun shook his head helplessly and turned to Xue Meining. “Ning Er, where do you want to eat?”
“Let’s go to Qingshui Restaurant.”
Xue Meining pondered for an eternity and finally thought of a place to eat. Except that this time, instead of dining, it was to appreciate the scenery.
Good days like this naturally required the complement of beautiful scenery.
As Ling Yun drove towards Qingshui Lake, Xue Meining called the manager of the Qingshui Restaurant and requested the best available private room.
“Big Brother Yun, why didn’t you bring Little White along to eat with us? Has she not completed her transformation? I miss her!”
Xue Meining rained a barrage of questions down on Ling Yun soon after she completed her call.
Ling Yun was in an awkward position. He had indeed intended to bring Xian Er out to eat, but her stunning appearance was way too outstanding to appear in a public place.
“Mmm, she has transformed and is called Bai Xianer now. You will be able to see her tonight. Remember to call her Big Sister,” Ling Yun said with a smile.
“Big Brother Yun, I am moving house today, would you help me with that?” Xue Meining asked while she nodded.
“is there a lot to move?” Ling Yun asked casually.
“Mainly books… Hmm, and a lot of clothes… and a lot of toys… and…”Xue Meining was starting to embarrass herself, and pink hues colored her face.
“That’s enough, I know. Don’t worry, I have my ways.” Ling Yun chuckled.
Manpower was never a topic of concern for Green Dragon, so moving house was too easy for them.
“How’s our class lately? Any news on Cao Shanshan?” Ling Yun turned to Miao Xiaomiao as he shifted to a serious tone.
Miao Xiaomiao was looking out the window, her neck translucent and slender, her gaze focused and unwavering. She seemed to have something on her mind.
Hearing Ling Yun’s question, she didn’t turn around. Rather, she answered calmly, “The class is fine. As for news on Cao Shanshan, you’re better off asking Zhang Ling.”
Ling Yun was surprised. Could it be that there was finally news on Cao Shanshan?
In the blink of an eye, they had reached Qingshui Restaurant.
