Chapter 539: Interrogating the Enemy’s Wife

Ling Yun rushed into the bathroom and stared into the mirror. Seeing the narrow teeth marks on his neck, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

Pulling out a Healing Talisman, Ling Yun pressed it on his neck. The teeth marks disappeared instantly, as if they were never there.

Ling Yun was generous too. Now that his Ordinary People’s Clinic was about to open, he would use his Healing Talisman without reservation. As long as it was an external wound, any blade, stab, burn, or injury that was around the size of a palm could be instantly healed with the talisman. Furthermore, it didn’t leave a single scar. However, he used it to remove some teeth marks. That was obviously a waste.

Ling Yun didn’t care at all. As long as he had True Qi, he could make as many regular Healing Talismans as he wanted and could use them as much as he wanted.

Since he was in the bathroom, Ling Yun removed all his clothes and took a refreshing cold shower. Then, he changed into a new set of clothes before walking out, feeling completely re-energized.

“What about Tang Meng?” Ling Yun asked casually upon seeing that Tie Xiaohu was the only person in the living room.

Tie Xiaohu was as sharp as an eagle. His eyes glowed. “Brother Yun, the police have already brought Li Gang into Qingshui City. Captain Kang is the one leading the squad, and Tang Meng went out to greet them.”

Ling Yun sat on the sofa as he nodded casually. He asked, “What about the other one?”

Tie Xiaohu knew that Ling Yun was asking about Wang Lei’s wife. He replied immediately, “I made a call just now. A few disciples from Green Dragon are already bringing Luo Erfeng here. They’ll be here soon.”

With these two good brothers by his side, Ling Yun was reassured. He smiled in satisfaction as he said to Tie Xiaohu, “Xiaohu, your cultivation progress seems to have been going well over this past month. You’re already at the mid-stages of Houtian Realm Level Four, and your Stellar Condensation Technique is already at the fourth minor realm. It’s beyond my expectations!”

With Ling Yun’s compliment, Tie Xiaohu scratched his head in embarrassment. He replied, “I’m nothing compared to Brother Yun. I couldn’t even help you. It feels horrible…”

Tie Xiaohu’s greatest wish was to be able to fight by Ling Yun’s side. Whenever he thought about that, his blood boiled passionately!

Ling Yun chuckled. “You can’t rush it. The most important thing now is your frame of mind. Right now, you’re not training any techniques. You’re only cultivating the Stellar Condensation Technique, but you’ve already reached Houtian Realm Level Four. That means that I didn’t pick the wrong person!”

“I can tell that your realm is still unstable now. You’d better solidify your cultivation level for now and strengthen your fundamentals. After I’m done settling everything, I’ll teach you lots of techniques!”

Hearing this, Tie Xiaohu celebrated. He was so touched that he jumped off the sofa, causing the floors in the mansion to pound loudly in response. Rubbing both hands, he exclaimed, “Really, Brother Yun? You’ll teach me?”

Tie Xiaohu had been looking forward to this day for the longest time.

In fact, when Tie Xiaohu was still working at Green Dragon before he met Ling Yun, he met those mysterious bodyguards who worked under Long Kun on occasion. At times, he was personally taught by Long Kun too. At the time, his ability was barely at Houtian Realm Level Two.

When Tie Xiaohu cultivated together with Long Kun and the others, it couldn’t be said that he did it wrong. However, with Ling Yun’s judgment, the techniques they trained were far too trivial and weak. They were too insignificant. That was why he used the golden needle to destroy all of his martial techniques, to help him start from a clean slate and train him from scratch again.

Afterward, on the night of the Qingming Festival—when Ling Yun had obtained the Xiantian True Qi from the Emperor Brush, causing his abilities to surge to the ninth stage of Physique Tempering—he made full use of his power. For everyone who was present, he performed a thorough cleansing, allowing them to truly start from a clean slate. He even injected different amounts of Xiantian True Qi based on the differences in each person’s physique.

Tie Xiaohu was one of the beneficiaries. After going through this type of cleansing twice, he only spent a month before he reached the fourth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. When he utilized this technique, normal blades and weapons couldn’t injure his body.

The Stellar Condensation Technique was a technique that purely trained the physical body. It depended on absorbing the sun’s essence, the moon’s power, and the stars’ energy. As one’s realm increased in level, their physical power and sturdiness would increase accordingly. On top of that, their power, speed, and defense would improve exponentially. However, Tie Xiaohu didn’t cultivate any other techniques, so he didn’t have any True Qi circulating within his body.

Therefore, Tie Xiaohu still hadn’t truly attained the power of Houtian Realm Level Four. He could only say that he had achieved that level.

After experiencing the thrill of breaking through, his desire to grow stronger swelled. Now, Ling Yun announced that he would teach him more cultivation techniques. There was no way he wouldn’t feel emotional.

“Of course, it’s real. After my clinic opens this weekend, I’ll start teaching you!” Ling Yun smiled in confirmation.

After his college examinations were over, Ling Yun was determined to leave Qingshui City. He had plenty of property and close friends in this place. All those needed someone to protect them, and Tie Xiaohu was definitely the best person for the job.

“Thank you, Brother Yun! Hehe!” Tie Xiaohu was abnormally excited. He bounced and jumped, about to hug Ling Yun and give him a few kisses.

After half an hour, Green Dragon’s men brought Wang Lei’s wife, Luo Erfeng, to Mansion Number One. Ling Yun finally met this woman again.

The first time he saw Luo Erfeng was at his form teacher, Kong Xiuru’s house. He saw her on the news.

Luo Erfeng was around 30 years old and had a normal figure. Her face was on the ugly side, while her complexion was yellowish. The biggest impression she gave off was that she had a large mouth. Her lips were also very thick. However, she still drew her brows and put on eyeshadow and red lipstick. She dressed fashionably and had a fierce appearance.

“Why did you bring me here? I’ll sue you!”

Once Luo Erfeng entered the mansion, her eyes were filled with panic as she took in her surroundings. Once she spotted Tie Xiaohu, who was as huge as a tower, she couldn’t help but reel in shock. However, when she saw Ling Yun, she regained her composure again and screamed fiercely at him.

When a person looked at Ling Yun, they would never assume that he was evil.

“Have a seat!” Ling Yun crossed his legs as he leaned casually on the sofa. Giving Luo Erfeng a casual smile, he said to Tie Xiaohu, “Xiaohu, take your men and guard the entrance. Don’t let anyone in without my orders!”

Tie Xiaohu immediately waved to the four disciples from Green Dragon, leading them to the main entrance.

“You… what are you planning?” Luo Erfeng didn’t sit down. Once she saw that nobody else was in the house, her thoughts were in disarray. She thought that Ling Yun wanted to rape her. She instantly lifted both arms to hug herself.

However, that was just her imagination. This young man before her was far too handsome. He was a thousand times better than her husband, who had died, and her past lovers. Furthermore, he lived in such a huge mansion. If she could be raped by him, that would be her win.

She made up her mind. As long as Ling Yun launched himself at her, she would do everything she could to take him.

Seeing Luo Erfeng’s movements, which contradicted her gaze, Ling Yun couldn’t help but feel a surge of laughter. Her grotesque and large mouth left nothing for him to desire. He couldn’t even be bothered to spare her a second glance.

“You haven’t tasted freedom in over a month, have you?” Ling Yun asked cheerfully.

Luo Erfeng was nothing more than a regular woman. For someone like that, being watched by Green Dragon was nothing less than confinement.

One could say that over the past month, other than eating and sleeping, she didn’t have a single ounce of freedom.

“You… what are you planning?” After Ling Yun raised this matter, Luo Erfeng got even angrier. She asked this out of rage.

Ling Yun’s expression turned cold as he said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid and stop overthinking. I won’t hurt you. I just want to know one thing. Why did your husband die?”

Luo Erfeng’s heart turned ice-cold as her body began shivering uncontrollably. Her face turned ghastly white, and her thick lips couldn’t stop quivering. She was obviously scared out of her wits.

Ling Yun didn’t ask how he died. Instead, he asked why. No matter how dumb she was, she could tell Ling Yun’s purpose in bringing her here.

“I… how would I know? I only know that he fell into the river and drowned…” Even though Luo Erfeng was scared, her lips were still tightly sealed. She refused to say anything.

“He fell into the river and drowned? Tsk tsk, it seems like your memory is failing you. Do you need me to remind you?”

Ling Yun laughed coldly and responded plainly, “Wang Lei, thirty-six years old. He worked as a cargo driver. He transported sand and enjoyed gambling. Before he died, he racked up a huge debt. But on the afternoon of the 25th of March of this year, one million yuan appeared in his bank account.”

Ling Yun’s eyes remained glued on Luo Erfeng’s eyes. His lips curled, and he gave a handsome smile. “Do you need me to continue?”

Even though she was the enemy’s wife, she was nothing more than a powerless woman. Furthermore, this matter had nothing to do with her. Ling Yun didn’t want to use force to deal with her. As long as she could tell him the truth of the matter, Ling Yun would allow her to leave unharmed.

Every debt had its debtor. Ling Yun knew what it meant to be impartial.

Seeing Ling Yun talk about Wang Lei, it felt as if he watched all the events unfold before him. Luo Erfeng was scared speechless. Her body swayed violently as she leaned onto the sofa and said, “You, who exactly are you? How do you know all that about him?”

Ling Yun laughed dryly. Everything he talked about was information that was provided by Qingshui City’s Police Department and Tie Xiaohu’s Green Dragon. According to that information, he had already guessed the bulk of the situation. The only reason he brought Luo Erfeng here was that he wanted to confirm it personally and obtain more clues.

“You don’t need to know that! First of all, I won’t hurt you. Secondly, tell me what happened. Tell me exactly what happened without any embellishments, and I’ll let you go. Understand?”

“Of course, you can choose not to talk. See this cup?”

Ling Yun lifted a cup from the coffee table. Using a little strength, he turned the entire cup to powder. Sliding down Ling Yun’s palm, it fell slowly, landing on the coffee table.

Seeing this unfold before her eyes, Luo Erfeng’s jaw dropped.

“If you won’t talk, or if you tell me a single lie, I will kill you!” Ling Yun’s expression fell, and his handsome gaze flashed with killing intent. He stared straight into Luo Erfeng’s terrified eyes, his gaze as sharp as a blade!
