In short, the relationship between Ling Yun and the Ling Family in the capital, or in other words, the fact that Ling Yun had already acknowledged his ancestors, was one of Ling Yun's most important secrets.
Even though this secret might be revealed to the world in the near future, Ling Yun hoped to keep it a secret for as long as he could before that happened. He wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
After a short but intense exchange, the negotiations fell into an indescribable silence and awkwardness. Both of them sipped their tea, the atmosphere completely frozen.
Ye Xingchen's indirect attempts to rope Ling Yun in had all ended in failure. She didn't receive any response, nor did she see any clues from Ling Yun's face. She was disappointed and even felt a little discouraged.
However, Ling Yun was the exact opposite. At least this time, he had confirmed the news about Xiao Meimei and knew that she was very safe. It was only a matter of time before the two of them met. This put a huge weight off his heart.
Ling Yun sipped his tea as if nothing had happened, but his mind was in turmoil. He still had many questions to ask Ye Xingchen. He was just thinking about how to phrase it and where to cut to the chase.
Ling Yun thought for a long time. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Xingchen turn her gaze away from the distant waterfall. She turned her head slightly and stared at Ling Yun, or rather, at his nocturnal clothes. She asked calmly, but with extreme seriousness, "Where did you get the material for your nocturnal clothes?"
Ling Yun's heart trembled slightly. He knew that Ye Xingchen had long since discovered that their clothes were made of the same Golden Black Devilish Silk. She actually asked at this time.
However, Ling Yun had long anticipated that Ye Xingchen would ask such a question. He had already thought of how to reply.
As if just noticing it, Ling Yun lowered his head to look at his own clothes, then raised his head to look at Ye Xingchen's black muslin clothes. He pretended to be surprised. "Ha, women are indeed more attentive. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have realized that our clothes are actually made of the same material! Looks like we're really fated. "
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly. "If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't, then don't. I'm not interested in playing around with you."
Ling Yun immediately straightened his face and said sincerely, "I bought it."
Ye Xingchen looked at Ling Yun as if he was looking at an idiot. She sneered. "Are you lying to a three-year-old, or do you think I'm an idiot? Where did you buy it? "
"Of course it's in the underground black market. In other words, it's the legendary underground auction house, the kind that specializes in auctioning strange things …" Ling Yun once again put on his Oscar-winning acting skills and said in bewilderment.
Ye Xingchen didn't believe Ling Yun's nonsense at all. He sneered again and said word by word, as if he was reciting from a textbook, "According to the records, Ling Yun didn't wear such clothes before the opening of the Ordinary People's Clinic. However, after the opening of the Ordinary People's Clinic, he suddenly had such clothes …"
Ling Yun listened quietly and responded with a sneer. He felt a weight lifted from his heart.
Previously, Ling Yun had been worried that Ye Xingchen hadn't found out about Cui Lao's whereabouts during his two visits to Qingshui City. Evidently, he had worried too much.
After all, Cui Lao was a Half-step Xiantian expert. If he wanted to hide his tracks, the Devil Sect and the Assassins Organization wouldn't be able to detect him.
Ling Yun calmed down. He tidied up his clothes proudly and looked at Ye Xingchen with narrowed eyes. Calm and unruffled, he said, "You're not my wife. Why do you have to care what I wear?"
Ignoring Ling Yun's teasing, Ye Xingchen continued, "According to the dossier, you've never been to any underground black market or any bullsh * t auction house …"
"Stop! Stop! "
Ling Yun was infuriated. He furrowed his brows and gestured for Ye Xingchen to stop. He reminded Ye Xingchen, "Can you stop talking about the dossier?"
"Do you really think I'm invisible? Can you find out how many times I poop in a day? Did you find out that I have the Shennong Cauldron or how many members of the Blood Clan I killed in Immortal Ridge last night? "
Ling Yun was really angry, but his words weren't crude. He sneered and continued, "It's true that I'm invisible in your eyes, but I'm not as invisible as you think!"
How cautious had Ling Yun been all this while? He didn't want others to know about his trump cards and secrets, not even the people closest to him. Even if the Holy Virgin of the Diabolical Sect was extremely resourceful, she wouldn't be able to find it.
"Isn't it just Golden Black Devilish Silk? I even have the Shennong Cauldron, what more Golden Black Devilish Silk? Even though it's rare, it's not something that only the Devil Sect has. You treat it like a treasure, but in my eyes, it's just something you can wear casually … "
Ling Yun didn't lie to Ye Xingchen. He was now at the peak of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. Once he broke through to the Qi Cultivation Stage, he would be able to forge weapons. Forging weapons wasn't limited to metals. Some personal items, including clothing, and even spatial rings made from the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone could be used.
When that time came, he just had to add some defensive talismans or carve a few defensive formations on normal clothing. That would be even more effective than the Golden Black Devilish Silk Garment.
Of course, if he added it directly to the Golden Black Devilish Silk Garment, the effect would be even better.
It all depended on Ling Yun's mood then.
Ye Xingchen's probing was once again rebuffed by Ling Yun's random punches. She could only smile helplessly and say, "Alright, let's just say that you're right."
"What do you mean let's just say that? That's how it is." Ling Yun was unforgiving.
He sighed in his heart. No wonder Cui Lao was so careful every time he appeared. Indeed, the older, the wiser.
He finally passed another hurdle, and it was Ling Yun's turn to speak now.
"Since you've investigated me so thoroughly, I'd like to confirm whether my Ordinary People's Clinic was bombed."
"Yes," Ye Xingchen replied crisply with a smile.
Ling Yun was furious and immediately asked, "Did you arrange for someone to do it?"
Ye Xingchen looked at Ling Yun as though he was an idiot. "If I wanted to bomb it, would I have waited until today? I would have bombed your Mansion Number One and Mansion Number Nine! "
Ling Yun naturally knew that Ye Xingchen wouldn't be so bored as to bomb his small clinic. He was just putting on an act. "Then who did it? Hand this person over to me. I'm going to turn his bones into dust! "
Ye Xingchen laughed. "That sounds ruthless, but I'm afraid it'll be very difficult. However, I came here tonight to remind you of this matter, so I might as well tell you now.
"The Devil Sect's Tian Holy Son, Sikong Wuji, has arrived in Qingshui City with a large group of Heavenly Kings. They'll definitely kill you!"
"The Devil Sect's Tian Holy Son? Sikong Wuji? "
Ling Yun's expression changed slightly as he repeated the name. He couldn't help but recall the night the Ordinary People's Clinic was bombed. He suddenly felt a sense of danger at the crossroads.
Ever since Ling Yun had reached the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine, he hadn't felt such a sense of imminent danger. Hence, ever since that night, he had never forgotten about this warning sign and had always kept it in his mind.
That was also the reason why Ling Yun didn't allow Bai Xianer to follow him to Immortal Ridge tonight. Instead, she stayed at home to protect the others.
Currently, Bai Xianer's strength was only above Ling Yun's. Ling Yun could only go out with her at home.
Ling Yun muttered Sikong Wuji's name a few times. "I didn't provoke him. Why is he looking for trouble with me?" Ling Yun asked casually.
Ye Xingchen smiled sweetly. "Is the Devil's Blade enough? Moreover, there's a spatial ring and the even more tempting Shennong Cauldron …
"The Devil's Blade is the top of the Devil Sect's Nine Great Holy Artifacts. It's publicly recognized that the owner of the Devil's Blade is the Devil Master and can command the entire Devil Sect. Do you think Sikong Wuji, as the Devil Sect's Tian Holy Son, will come to snatch it?"
Ye Xingchen's explanation was simple and clear. Ling Yun understood immediately that Sikong Wuji was here for the Devil's Blade.
Ling Yun smiled brightly at that thought. "Thank you for your reminder. Since he's here to die, I'll reluctantly send him on his way."
Ye Xingchen laughed again. "Send him on his way? That's easy for you to say. Sikong Wuji has mastered his demonic arts. His realm isn't below mine. "
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Xingchen's slightly trembling breasts. "Because you're a woman, I'm too embarrassed to hit you. If he comes, why don't you watch from the side and see how I slaughter him!"
Even though Ye Xingchen had participated in Ling Yun's battle tonight and seen many of Ling Yun's trump cards, Ling Yun still had many more that he hadn't revealed.
For example, the Black Yellow True Qi, the Divine Yang Cultivation Technique, the Dragon Elephant Divine Force … and even more, the strange power of thunder and lightning within his body, the Yin-Yang True Qi vortex, the Great Absorption Technique, and so on …
Coupled with all kinds of talismans, Ling Yun had absolute confidence that he could kill Tian Holy Son.
These trump cards were also the reason why he dared to say that he would keep Ye Xingchen in the Immortal Ridge when he was furious.
Ye Xingchen was actually very shocked by Ling Yun's confidence. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she asked Ling Yun, "You're that confident?"
Ling Yun smiled but didn't say anything. That mysterious look made Ye Xingchen grit her teeth in anger.
Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. Ling Yun was right about one thing. His true secrets were on him, hidden in his spatial ring, and in his heart. Naturally, Ye Xingchen had no way of knowing.
That was also why she had always been curious about Ling Yun.
"So, my two women, Lin Menghan and Yao Rou, have also fallen into Sikong Wuji's hands?"
Since Sikong Wuji had brought assassins to Qingshui and bombed his Ordinary People's Clinic, Ling Yun naturally guessed that Lin Menghan and Yao Rou's disappearance was definitely Sikong Wuji's doing.
However, never in his wildest dreams would Ling Yun have imagined that Ye Xingchen's answer would be so out of his expectations!
A sly smile finally appeared in Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes as she said mysteriously, "No."
