“Let's find a place to have breakfast.”

Ling Yun, Ning Lingyu, Xue Meining, and Tang Meng left the rental house in two separate cars.

Inside, Ning Lingyu was embarra.s.sed as she saw the wet patch on Ling Yun's shoulder that was soaked by her tears.

Ling Yun pat Ning Lingyu's delicate shoulder lightly as he casually said, “Don't worry. Today, your big brother will take you to shop for clothes.”

Ling Yun had been very busy for the past few weeks. He felt guilty since he spent the least amount of time with his little sister, Ning Lingyu. He wanted to compensate her for that.

“Lingyu, haven't you always wanted to know what your brother has been busy with? Today, I'll take you to Qingshui City for a walk and show you what I've been up to.”

Hearing this, Ning Lingyu's eyes brightened as she nodded excitedly.

While the four of them had breakfast, Ling Yu gave Tie Xiaohu a call and told him to drive his Land Rover over.

After that, Ling Yun smiled as he said to Xue Meining, “Ning Er, it's Monday. It's time for you to go to cla.s.s.”

Xue Meining was afraid that Ling Yun would say that. Pouting her cherry lips, she protested. “What do you mean? You, Sister Lingyu, Tang Meng, and Tie Xiaohu can skip cla.s.s, so why can't I? I'm not going.”

Ling Yun furrowed his brows purposefully as he said, “Ning Er, you haven't been to cla.s.s for a few weeks already. You must be behind on lots of homework now. The difficulty between Grade 11 and Grade 12 is huge. For us, we only have revision cla.s.ses, but you're learning new knowledge now. So, you have to listen and go to cla.s.s.”

Ning Lingyu knew that Xue Meining didn't want to go for cla.s.ses. With a light smile, she said, “Ning Er, brother is right. Even though you're very smart, your Grade 11 cla.s.ses are ending. After the summer break, you'll have to tackle intense revision in Grade 12. It's an important time for you.”

Ning Lingyu was one of the top scholars in Qingshui High, and her words were from her personal experience. Hearing this, Xue Meining couldn't protest any longer. Sulking, she nodded reluctantly in agreement.

“Brother Ling Yun, you have to leave your phone switched on, alright? I'll call and text when I miss you.”

Before Xue Meining left, she lifted her slender thumb and pinky as she flashed a calling gesture to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun nodded as he watched Xue Meining leave in her car.

“Let's look for Dao Yong and Tie Xiaohu. Give Dao Yong a call now and tell him that we'll be there soon.”

“Big Brother, who is Dao Yong?” Ning Lingyu asked Ling Yun curiously.

“He's the scar-faced man who brought men to make trouble at Mother's clinic.”

“Oh, him…” Ning Lingyu couldn't help but stick out her tongue. Recalling how Dao Yong had brought so many people but was completely defeated by her brother, she couldn't help but giggle softly.

Ling Yun said casually, “Lingyu, no matter what you see today, don't be surprised and overthink it. I'll explain everything you don't understand tonight.”

Ning Lingyu's delicate shoulder leaned against Ling Yun's as she laughed softly and said, “Okay…”

Ning Lingyu felt that as long as she was with her brother, she would feel warm and happy.

Everything else was unimportant.

After forty minutes, Ling Yun and the other three arrived at Linjiang Road. They were outside Dao Yong's residence.

Dao Yong was already standing outside with his Four Great Generals to greet the entourage when he saw Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu step down from the rover. Taking two steps forward quickly, he bowed his head down with utmost respect and panic, saying, “Master Ling!”

Yesterday, the Four Great Generals had seen Ling Yun's power and aggression with their own eyes. He single-handedly took down two mansions consecutively. He also took care of the notorious Gou Lianshan and Tian Botao on his own. In the face of dozens of guns, his facial expression didn't change at all. Instead, he scolded the Director of the Public Security Bureau harshly. They had already yielded to Ling Yun long ago, bowing down to him on all fours!

After listening to the four's vivid explanation, Dao Yong knew that he had made the right choice. Thinking about the words Ling Yun had conveyed through Zhan Long, he was shaking with excitement.

Ling Yun had mentioned that he would personally make a trip to his residence!

From Dao Yong's perspective, even the Director of Qingshui City's Public Security Bureau, Luo Zhong, yielded to Ling Yun's oppression. Jiangnan's mafia, Green Dragon's Boss, had even shown up in person for Ling Yun. What did that mean?

It meant that Ling Yun had already conquered the political and underworld completely. It meant that he was one of the most powerful people in Qingshui City!

Ling Yun had mentioned that he would personally make a trip to his place. In reality, it was a huge opportunity for Dao Yong. How could he not feel excited?

Furthermore, Dao Yong had a lengthy discussion with his trusted men just to figure out how to address Ling Yun.

Calling him by name would surely be unacceptable. If he called him Boss Ling Yun as they would in the underworld, it would also be inappropriate. Calling him brother would be completely ridiculous as well. The five of them had a long discussion before they finally decided on greeting him as “Master Ling”.

Hearing Dao Yong call him that, a weird look flashed past Ling Yun's eyes. However, it was only for a moment. Smiling as he nodded, he laughed. “Let's talk inside.”

Dao Yong was so excited that he didn't even know where to put his hands. Inviting Ling Yun and his three companions into the house, he personally brought them tea he prepared long ago. With a wave of his hand, he was about to dismiss the Four Great Generals from the room.

Ling Yun waved his hand as he said, “It's alright. We'll all be on the same side in the future. Let them stay.”

“On the same side? Is… is that true?”

Dao Yong and the Four Great Generals exchanged looks quickly. A look of surprise spread over each of their faces as they were shocked by those words.

Ling Yun chuckled as he said, “You all know Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng already…” Patting Ning Lingyu, who was by his side, he said, “This is my little sister, Ning Lingyu.”

Ning Lingyu was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. Her beauty was mesmerizing, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. Dao Yong and his four men had already noticed this long ago. However, they dared not take another look at Ning Lingyu. Each of them acted more conservatively than a fifty-year-old monk.

After Ling Yun introduced Ning Lingyu, he immediately made this clear to Dao Yong. “If you are willing to, you'll be working with my two brothers from now on.”

Hearing this, Dao Yong and the Four Great Generals were overjoyed. Nodding intensely, Dao Yong said, “I'm willing, absolutely. Hurry, why are you still standing there, greet your big brother now!”

Ling Yun furrowed his brow lightly as he shook his head and said, “I don't need such formalities. In the future, you'll work under Tie Xiaohu. Follow all the rules he sets for you. I don't care how you earn your money as long as you don't bully the citizens!”

At such an opportune moment, Tang Meng thought that Ling Yun had forgotten all about him. He hurriedly reminded him, “Brother Yun, what about me?”

Ling Yun rolled his eyes as he said, “Didn't I tell you in the morning already? You'll work on running proper businesses.”

Tie Xiaohu was from Green Dragon and knew all of the rules in the underworld. He was the most suitable person to take care of these people.

However, Tang Meng was a genuine, straight-laced disciple of his. Ling Yun didn't want him to interfere too much with this. He had delegated their duties clearly today.

One was in charge of politics while the other was in charge of handling the underworld matters. Both worlds would be covered.

When he established power in Qingshui City successfully, Ling Yun already had a detailed plan in his mind. He wanted to take the chance to spread his influence.

Since they were going to build his influence, he naturally needed more manpower. Dao Yong had nearly two hundred people under him, more than enough for Tie Xiaohu to get things done.

“We can't go without having a name. In the future, you will be called Judgment!”

With his words, Ling Yun gestured to Dao Yong. “Come here!”

Dao Yong immediately walked to Ling Yun. Ling Yun's movements were as fast as lightning, and the restrictions on Dao Yong's body were quickly removed. Smiling, he said, “Alright, I've removed all of the restrictions on your body. You don't have to wait until June 8th anymore.”

Dao Yong nodded triumphantly, bowed respectfully, and said, “Thank you, Master Ling!”

Ling Yun stood up quickly as he said to Dao Yong, “Lift your head!”

Dao Yong straightened up as he lifted his head. Ling Yun tossed a Healing Talisman onto Dao Yong's face and hollered, “Activate!”

Ling Yun's movements were fast. Without even realizing what had happened, Dao Yong felt a comfortable breeze and a slight tingling sensation on his face.

The Healing Talisman wasn't only better than the ones Ling Yun had drawn in the past, but it also had better effects. Its healing speed was much faster.

The miracle happened in front of everyone. Zhan Long, Zhan Hu, and the rest watched this in shock. The scar on Dao Yong's face visibly disappeared. His face was no longer horrifying and scary. He had recovered his original appearance!

“G.o.d… This…”

“D*mn… Boss…”

The Four Great Generals were shocked and enthused to see this scene unfold. They were all shocked out of their wits!

“Brother, you…” Ning Lingyu saw this unfold clearly. Originally, she was sitting comfortably on the sofa. However, as she watched this scene, she was so shocked that she stood up in surprise!

“What happened?” Seeing everyone in shock, he subconsciously touched his own cheek. Then, his jaw dropped!

G.o.d, the scar on his face had completely disappeared!

“Bam!”

Dazed for a moment, Dao Yong suddenly knelt to the ground, kowtowing to Ling Yun!

“Thank you, Master Ling, thank you so much… No matter what happens from now on, as long as you give the word, even if it means jumping into the flames, I, Dao Yong, will not hesitate to follow your orders!”

Ling Yun took Dao Yong's kowtow casually as he replied matter-of-factly, “This is what you deserve. If my guess is right, it must have been difficult when you made your decision yesterday. But you made the right choice!”

Overwhelmed with grat.i.tude, Dao Yong didn't know what to say. He could only kowtow to Ling Yun with all his might.

“Alright, that's enough. It's only a small matter. Get up!”

Ling Yun ordered Dao Yong to get up as he patted Ning Lingyu's shoulder, signaling for her to sit down. Lifting his tea, he took a sip as he said, “Qingyun Productions owes me a sum of money. The IOU is here. Tonight, we'll head there to claim what belongs to us. If they cannot pay us, we'll take over the entire company!”

After they acknowledged their new boss, they had a job to do immediately. Dao Yong and the Four Great Generals were thrilled as each of them clasped their fists respectfully and bowed down to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun handed the IOU to Tie Xiaohu, smiling. “Alright, let's return to the city and head to Qingyun Productions!”

On April 14th, Ling Yun had set up his own sect, Judgment!

At 9am, Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu sat in the Land Rover, waiting for Tang Meng to drive. Tie Xiaohu and Dao Yong followed behind in the Hummer with the Four Great Generals. They were on their way to Qingshui City!
