"Eh? Second Uncle, what brings you to the Nan Shan Market today? "Ling Dong greeted loudly as he stepped into the hall. Although they were fighting fiercely, Ling Dong still had to call him by his name. Ling Dong understood that this was the rule of the game.
However, Ling Zhengshan's tolerance was clearly smaller than Ling Dong had imagined. He coldly glanced at Ling Dong, "Dong-er, Second Uncle is handling official business today. Someone reported that the Nan Shan Market had a large deficit and embezzled the public's property. Thus, I had no choice but to come and check the accounts! "
As he spoke, Ling Zhengshan proudly glanced at the manager who was bowing and smiling. Ling Dong looked at the manager and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
"Oh, Second Uncle, go ahead and check. If there is really embezzlement of the public's property, you must deal with it strictly!" After speaking, Ling Dong walked towards the manager, Uncle Wu, who was anxiously stamping his feet and constantly wiping his cold sweat.
Ling Zhengshan was slightly surprised by Ling Dong's reaction. Didn't the report say that Ling Dong embezzled the public's property? Why was this kid so unyielding now?
Ling Zhengshan suspiciously glanced at the informant manager. The latter vigorously nodded his head and almost patted his chest to guarantee that it was true.
"Uncle Wu, how is the collection of the medicinal ingredients that I entrusted you to purchase a few days ago?" Ling Dong walked in front of Uncle Wu and asked generously.
Uncle Wu was stunned when he heard this! My little ancestor, how could you say this out loud! Even if this deficit is discovered, I will take the blame. Now that you mention it, aren't you implicating yourself?
Hearing Ling Dong's question, Ling Zhengshan became interested, "Oh, Dong-er, you entrusted the company to help you purchase medicinal ingredients? This is a good thing. However, business is business. If there is a deficit, then don't blame me … "
Ling Dong ignored Ling Zhengshan and said to Uncle Wu, "Uncle Wu, how's the gathering of the herbs? When I came to entrust you with the task, I paid half of the deposit. If you receive all of it, I will pay the money to pick up the goods. If you don't receive all of it, I will come back in a few days to pick up the goods! "As he spoke, Ling Dong took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom and winked at Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu was delighted when he saw the stack of banknotes. He thought that the young master had found some money. At the same time that he was overjoyed, Uncle Wu was also somewhat puzzled. That was more than forty thousand taels of silver. In just two hours, even his master had not managed to raise that much money. Where did this Third Young Master's ability come from?
"Young Master, the herbs were all collected yesterday. You can pick up the goods when you pay the balance!" Uncle Wu was also a clever person. Naturally, he would cooperate with Ling Dong's act!
Under Ling Zhengshan's surprised gaze, Uncle Wu took the banknotes and carefully counted them. Then, he walked in front of Ling Zhengshan in a serious manner and asked, "Second Master, I'm here to pick up the goods from a few days ago. I paid the money in cash and now I need to pick up the goods. Would you like to wait for a moment? "
Ling Zhengshan's expression was extremely ugly. When he saw the stack of banknotes, he knew that his goal had failed. The other party's deficit had been covered. He could only squeeze out two words from between his teeth, "Deliver the goods!"
Ling Zhengshan had backed down, but Ling Dong wasn't done yet. He waved his fan a few times, then leisurely walked in front of Ling Zhengshan and said, "Second Uncle, even though I'm your junior, I still have to say a few words to you. What you did today wasn't right!"
Being scolded by a younger generation, Ling Zhengshan's face was a little embarrassed, "You have no right to speak!"
"I have no right to speak?" Ling Dong laughed, "As the saying goes, a visitor is a guest. Second Uncle, you haven't forgotten the rules of the Ling family's business, have you?" Ling Dong pointed around with his fan, "Second Uncle, today's situation, those who know will think that you are here to check the accounts. Those who don't know will think that the Ling family's business is about to be closed down!"
"Today's guest is my nephew. If it were anyone else, this business would have been over long ago! Second Uncle, next time, even if you want to check the accounts, you should do it in the inner room. With such a chaotic situation, how can you still have a guest? Second Uncle, are you going to pay for the losses? Therefore, I am here to say a few words. Today's matter was not considered properly! "
Ling Zhengshan was rendered speechless by his words. At this time, Uncle Wu brought a few servants over with a large box. He first handed over the herbs to Ling Dong, then handed Ling Zhengshan an account book and said, "Second Master, the income just increased by forty-eight thousand six hundred silver taels. You can continue to check!"
Ling Zhengshan's face twitched. Check the deficit? What was there to check? Wasn't the deficit reported by the steward behind him exactly the same amount?
"It's affecting the business. Another day!" Ling Zhengshan left with an ugly expression after saying those words. However, the steward who told on him was anxious, "Second Master, Second Master, there's still me. Where did you arrange for me to be?"
This steward told on him because he wanted to get some benefits and change to a better position. He didn't expect that after the deficit was covered, Ling Zhengshan wouldn't care about him at all!
Hearing the shouts behind him, Ling Zhengshan walked even faster. He didn't dare to use this kind of snitch! If this matter was successful, he might reward him with some silver taels. But now, it was embarrassing!
"Uncle Wu, who is this person?" Ling Dong glanced at the steward and asked.
Uncle Wu's face revealed a trace of disdain, "Third Young Master, this person's surname is Zhao. He is one of the stewards of the Ling family's trading company in the Southern Mountain Market! He is an extremely loyal steward of the family. He discovered that my trading company was showing signs of deficit and was afraid that the family's assets would be damaged. Thus, he brought Second Master here to check the accounts! "
Uncle Wu's words caused the steward with the surname Zhao to sweat profusely. His Second Master didn't care about him anymore, and there seemed to be signs of him being punished here. He suddenly felt a sense of regret!
"Oh, does he still have any family members working in the Ling residence?" Ling Dong asked casually, causing the steward's heart to clench!
"His wife, Wang Shi, is in charge of twenty or so servants. His son also started working not long ago. He seems to be an odd-job worker in the back courtyard!" Uncle Wu replied.
"After settling this month's salary, his entire family will be banished from the family and can't be used again!" Ling Dong casually made a judgment. There was no need to kill this kind of person. Banishing him from the Ling family was the best punishment. The benefits of working in the Ling family were quite generous!
Steward Zhao felt as if he was struck by lightning and fell to the ground in an instant. "Steward Wu, no, Third Young Master, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I won't dare to do it again …"
Ling Dong ignored him and instructed Uncle Wu, "Uncle Wu, send someone to send these medicinal ingredients to the residence. You can continue with your work!"
Uncle Wu naturally agreed. His face was filled with gratification. Old Master had a descendant. Third Young Master was becoming more and more promising!
After finishing all these, Ling Dong left. Behind him, the steward with the surname Zhao was still crying and begging for mercy. His entire family was banished. That was too tragic. Furthermore, if he was banished from the Ling family, who would dare to use him in the future?
After returning to the Ling family, Ling Dong did not rest.
Ling Zhengshan's frequent attacks made Ling Dong feel a sense of crisis. Ling Dong faintly felt that some things might be brought forward. This was very likely related to his recent tough performance!
It should be his recent tough performance that gave Ling Zhengshan and the others a strong sense of crisis. After all, the Ling Dong of his previous life was a drunken playboy during this period of time. He could not enter the eyes of Ling Zhengshan and the others at all.
First, he gave Gao Yuan some instructions. Then, he asked Gao Yuan to send 100,000 taels of silver to Bai Jiu 'er and her husband. Ling Dong was looking forward to what surprise Bai Jiu' er and her husband, who could freely brew wine, would bring him!
After arranging these, Ling Dong went to the front yard to see his father, Ling Yuanshan, who was cultivating. After the incident at the martial arts practice field, Ling Yuanshan also realized something. During the day, he did not completely devote himself to family affairs. Most of his time was spent on cultivating and studying combat skills!
Just a few days ago, Ling Dong casually found an excuse to teach his father two combat skills that he thought were more practical, Finger Flicking Stunning Star and Wind Swaying Movement.
In fact, Ling Dong had no less than hundreds of combat skills in his hands. There were too many combat skills that were better than Finger Flicking Stunning Star and Wind Swaying Movement. However, Ling Dong only taught his father these two skills!
One should not bite off more than one could chew. The reason why Ling Dong knew so many combat skills was because of the accumulation of hundreds of years in his previous life. Even in hundreds of years, there were no more than 30 types of combat skills! Among them, Finger Flicking Stunning Star was one of the few combat skills that Ling Dong used from the time he became famous to the time he self-exploded and died. When Ling Yuanshan's cultivation level increased in the future, it would not be too late to teach him more advanced combat skills.
In the courtyard, Ling Yuanshan was practicing the agility battle technique that Ling Dong taught him, [Swing with the Wind]. In a flash of green light, Ling Yuanshan crossed a distance of nearly 10 meters. The most brilliant thing was that he didn't cause much wind noise!
"Father, how's the practice going?" Ling Dong asked as he pushed the door open and entered.
"Dong-er, this movement skill is not simple! I can now cross a distance of 10 meters in an instant. My speed is almost 50% faster than before. "Seeing Ling Dong enter, Ling Yuanshan stopped and sighed.
Ling Dong frowned when he heard this. His father had obviously practiced it wrongly!
"Father, actually the biggest advantage of Wind Swaying Movement is in battle. Its specialty is not speed. Come, hit me with a palm!" Ling Dong said.
"It's specialty is not speed?" Ling Yuanshan frowned. He knew that his son was giving him face. In other words, he was saying that he had practiced it wrongly.
Ling Yuanshan did as he was told. Ling Dong struck out with a palm that was not fierce at all! Although he had held back, the attack of a Xiantian Realm expert was powerful enough to cause the fallen leaves in the courtyard to fly up.
Feeling the Earth Energy coming towards him, Ling Dong did not dodge. Instead, he used Wind Swaying Movement and suddenly jumped up. His entire body suddenly floated in the direction of the Earth Energy that Ling Yunshan had sent out!
As he floated backwards, Ling Dong tapped the ground with the tip of his foot. Suddenly, he borrowed strength from the air and flew behind Ling Yuanshan!
"Father, Wind Swaying Movement focuses on borrowing strength. When facing an enemy, it can make your direction uncertain and you can also take advantage of the situation to escape. If you practice it to the extreme, you can fly with the wind effortlessly! "Ling Dong said.
"Oh …" Seeing his son's personal demonstration, Ling Yuanshan nodded as if he had understood something. The various strange things that had happened in the past few days had made him accept Ling Dong's omniscient behavior.
"Father, this is a Earth Energy mantra that I wrote down from memory in my dreams. It should be more advanced than the family's Flowing Cloud Earth Energy. It's called Purple Cloud Heaven Wind Mantra. Take a good look. If there are no problems, then try to cultivate it!" As he spoke, Ling Dong placed a handwritten copy on the stone table in the courtyard.
Without waiting for Ling Yuanshan to reply, Ling Dong left as if he was escaping. Ling Dong was scared by Ling Yuanshan's questions. The things that Ling Dong gave Ling Yuanshan were naturally extremely precious. Ling Yuanshan also knew what was good, but the questions he asked after knowing what was good gave Ling Dong a headache.
For example, the Purple Cloud Heaven Wind Mantra was an Earth Fiend Middle-grade mantra. It was many times better than the Ling family's Flowing Cloud Earth Energy Mantra!
After switching to the Purple Cloud Heaven Wind Mantra, not only would his cultivation speed double that of the Flowing Cloud Earth Energy Mantra, his combat power would also be more than double that of the Flowing Cloud Earth Energy Mantra. Moreover, after cultivating it to the Heaven Realm, he would also be able to cultivate an extraordinary Divine Ability Secret Art!
"Oh right, Father, I'll be going to the Earth Fire Pill Room to refine pills in seclusion for the next few days. Don't worry about me!" When he reached the door, Ling Dong threw out this sentence and quickly left!
Seeing this, Ling Yuanshan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He picked up the handwritten copy that Ling Dong had put down and said, "This child, why did he run away …" Although his tone was complaining, his expression was one of relief!
