“Big Sister Murong…”
Ling Yun pushed open the door. He saw how Murong Feixue touched up her makeup in a panic with his divine sense. A pang of guilt went off in his heart for leaving her hanging.
“Oh, you still remember me? When did you come? How were your college entrance examinations?” Murong Feixue had the side of her face towards Ling Yun as she asked coldly. She didn’t want Ling Yun to see that she had just cried.
“Aiya, Big Sister Murong, what are you saying? I had Big Sister Murong in my mind all this time, but there was no choice because of the college entrance examinations. I had a bet of one hundred million yuan with someone on it. I would have lost everything if I failed. That’s why I have been busy revising my work. See, I hurried over to see you today now that the exams are over!” Ling Yun whispered his sweet nothings to her.
Moreover, everything he said was valid. Murong Feixue couldn’t find a logical reason to stay angry at him.
“Why are you telling me so many useless things? I asked how your college entrance examinations went, not anything else! Who cares about whether or not you have been thinking about me?” Murong Feixue said with a red face.
“Why didn’t you come yesterday then?” Murong Feixue continued after a short pause.
Murong Feixue knew Ling Yun was lying. She saw him going around the Antique Market with Song Zhengyang and Xue Meining by his side yesterday. Ling Yun didn’t even enter the Tianxi Pavilion when he passed by. Wouldn’t that have broken her heart?
Elder Murong saw how red his precious granddaughter’s eyes were during dinner yesterday night and decided to take action. He went to the Pearl Jade Court personally and told Song Zhengyang to get Ling Yun there today. He was even willing to give him back his life in exchange for that!
“Uh… Yesterday?”
Ling Yun was trying to coax Xue Meining yesterday, he would’ve wasted his effort if he were to bring her here!
Murong Feixue’s lips pursed into a thin line as she watched Ling Yun carefully, waiting to see how he would respond.
“Big Sister Murong, I did come to the Antique Market yesterday afternoon. However, that was to pick out some stones. I had some urgent business to attend to yesterday night, which is why I couldn’t come by…” Ling Yun replied in a relaxed manner.
Ling Yun decided to tell her the truth in case she did her utmost to find problems where there were none. That would be too cumbersome.
Murong Feixue was relieved that Ling Yun didn’t lie to her. “What are you still standing there for? It’s not like there isn’t anywhere to sit in my office…” She gave a quick smile.
They sat there awkwardly for a while before Murong Feixue broke the silence.
“You didn’t answer me about your college entrance examinations.”
“It was alright. There shouldn’t be a problem getting into university…” Ling Yun answered joyfully.
“Che! You skipped class so often and only hugged the Buddha’s legs at the critical moments. Was there any use to it?” Murong Feixue rolled her eyes at Ling Yun.
“This is called efficiency… There should be some use…” Ling Yun joked.
That made Murong Feixue smile. Ling Yun stood suddenly and walked over to her.
“W-what do you want?” Murong Feixue’s heart leaped around like a deer.
“Big Sister Murong, the wind is blowing hard today. Did a grain of sand enter your eyes just now? It seems a little swollen. I’ll treat it for you…” Ling Yun said gently.
Ling Yun brought out a Level Four Healing Talisman and used it around her eyes. Murong Feixue recovered instantly.
Even Ling Yun was startled at the change. “Hehe, this is the pretty Big Sister that I know!”
They were so close. Ling Yun’s manly scent entered Murong Feixue’s nose. How could a boy be so fragrant?
“What pretty? You forgot about me nonetheless.” She lowered her head in protest.
“You’re impossible to forget. Aren’t I here now… Big Sister, you seem to have slimmed down!” Ling Yun exclaimed.
She did slim down. It was the same black outfit she had worn before, but her hourglass figure was more obvious now, which also meant her breasts looked bigger in contrast.
“I… I’m on a diet…” Murong Feixue replied with the first thing that popped into her head.
She went towards the sofa seeing how Ling Yun didn’t move from the spot in front of her. “Have a seat. It’s too hot today, I’ll get you something to drink…”
“No need. Big Sister Murong, I’m here today to give you this set of jewelry. You should have seen it before, right?” Ling Yun smiled.
Ling Yun brought out the whole set of Imperial green jade jewelry and put it on Murong Feixue’s coffee table. The green sparkled.
Murong Feixue’s beautiful eyes gazed at the set, her heart overwhelmed with joy. She practically designed them herself.
“The Tianxi Pavilion has your Imperial green jade and can design anything with it. Why are you giving it to me?” Murong Feixue asked strangely.
“That’s different. This is mine, which I’m giving to Big Sister Murong. How can you compare it with those in your shop that are for sale?”
The meaning behind it was totally different.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll give you a piece of Imperial green jade for you to design something yourself. Would that be better?” Ling Yun offered.
Ling Yun decided to give it his all to make Murong Feixue happy.
Murong Feixue was overjoyed, of course. “I’ll just take this set. What do I need so many sets for?” Murong Feixue maintained her posture nonetheless.
Murong Feixue knew Ling Yun had a dozen of these sets of jewelry. She didn’t know how many of these he had given away already. That caused some sourness in her heart.
Even so, she couldn’t bear to stay angry at Ling Yun, especially not with his handsome face. She knew she had fallen in love with Ling Yun.
“Have some water…”
Murong Feixue gently put the cup down in front of Ling Yun.
Ling Yun took a sip and then looked at Murong Feixue seriously. “Big Sister Murong, I’m here to tell you goodbye.”
Goodbye?
Murong Feixue faltered. Her heart seemed to be pierced by a million needles! It hurt so bad!
“W-where are you going?” Murong Feixue asked, her face having changed.
“Big Sister Murong, it’s not like I’m not coming back, I’m just going to leave Qingshui for a while,” Ling Yun quickly explained.
Murong Feixue’s expression softened a bit.
“I have about three months of vacation after the exams. I want to use this time to go around. I’ll head to Beijing first after ten days or so.”
Ling Yun wanted to master the Divine Yang cultivation technique before he left Qingshui City. His ability would increase immensely, and he would be able to attain Physique Tempering Stage Nine with a solid foundation. He would only be one step away from Qi Cultivation and would then be able to protect himself.
He was going into closed-door cultivation for nine to twelve days in an attempt to reach the Qi Cultivation Stage with the help of the Divine Yang cultivation technique.
“Oh, you’re going to Beijing… I thought you were going overseas…”
Murong Feixue patted her chest lightly as she calmed down.
Ling Yun smiled. Only he knew how dangerous this trip to Beijing was, and he couldn’t tell Murong Feixue.
Not only Murong Feixue, but Ning Lingyu, Xue Meining, Lin Menghan, Long Wu, and the rest couldn’t know either.
Only Cui Lao and Qin Dongxue knew about it.
“How long will you be gone for?” Murong Feixue asked. She knew from Ling Yun’s expression that he was slightly different from when she first saw him. He now had an expression full of worry.
“I don’t know. I’ll be back soon if there’s nothing. The plane’s really convenient anyway…”
Ling Yun comforted Murong Feixue.
Murong Feixue lowered her head, deep in thought, before she stood up gradually. “Let’s go. Follow me home, I need to give you something.”
Her eyes were determined.
“Big Sister Murong, what is it?” Ling Yun asked even though he already knew the answer.
“You’ll know when you see it. Follow me!” Murong Feixue smiled playfully.
Murong Feixue stored the precious gift from Ling Yun away securely and locked her office. They then left the Tianxi Pavilion.
Murong Wenshi’s lodgings weren’t far from the Antique Market. It was also in Nancui Gardens and was only two kilometers away from where Yao Rou was staying. That made Ling Yun slightly nervous.
“We’re here!”
They got out of the car. “Grandpa went to Hudong for a conference today, he’ll only be back tomorrow,” Murong Feixue informed Ling Yun causally.
There was, of course, a certain meaning to that, but that wasn’t Ling Yun’s priority right now. He felt a powerful wave of spiritual energy that disappeared in an instant!
Ling Yun felt that wave of spiritual energy from the Green Dragon Out at Sea and the Green Dragon Jade before. However, Ling Yun knew instinctively that this spiritual energy wasn’t Dragon Spiritual Energy.
It’s a spiritual energy that has been sealed away… What exactly is this heirloom of the Murong Family?
