Chapter 550: Unexpected Reward

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Ling’s home was on the seventeenth floor of Qingxi Cuiyuan. She could see Ling Yun’s Ordinary People’s Clinic from her window.

She paid attention to it every single day.

“Yes, on Saturday, which is the day after tomorrow.” Ling Yun nodded.

“Opening on a Saturday? There is school as usual on Saturday. How am I going to go over to help out?” Zhang Ling was lost for a moment.

“You just concentrate on your studies with peace of mind. You don’t have to be bothered with anything else. There are more than enough people to help out!” Ling Yun laughed.

There were indeed more than enough people. Tang Meng had a bunch of people, and Tie Xiaohu had his buddies from Green Dragon. Moreover, it was just a small clinic opening, it really wasn’t necessary to have so many people helping out.

Zhang Ling didn’t agree. She insisted on taking half a day off to help out at Ling Yun’s clinic.

Ling Yun conceded since he couldn’t dissuade her.

After a while, Zhang Ling suddenly became all serious and gave Ling Yun some words of advice. “Ling Yun, I know you are very powerful, but the university isn’t a place you get in with just a good memory. Don’t forget that there is a listening component in English, compositions to write, and comprehension and analysis questions. All of those require targeted reviews!”

Kong Xiuru reminded Ling Yun of that as well. Zhang Ling was absolutely correct, and Ling Yun was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go back to school next Monday and start revising seriously.”

Ling Yun had a condensed version of his divine sense and the Yin-Yang Eye. His learning abilities were much higher than before. Two weeks was more than enough time for him.

As Ling Yun understood more about Huaxia and the world, he began to realize that the college entrance examinations were just a very bad bridge. To the wealthy and powerful, it was worse than ****.

The college entrance examinations and entering a university didn’t matter to Ling Yun.

However, he promised his mother, Qin Qiuyue, and his sister, Ning Lingyu, that he would get into Yanjing University. Ling Yun had to keep his promise.

Moreover, there was a hundred million yuan at stake. Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa might have hidden themselves, but Song Zhengyang was still here. As long as Ling Yun got into Yanjing University, he would make a hundred million yuan in profit. Why would he not do it?

“How is our form teacher?” Ling Yun remembered Kong Xiuru now that their topic was on studies.

Ling Yun thought that things would be smoother for Kong Xiuru now that she was in charge of the third-years. He never thought that Zhang Ling would give him a totally different answer.

“She is very tired. I think she might collapse at any time!” Zhang Ling’s face darkened, seemingly worried for Kong Xiuru.

“Oh? What happened?” Ling Yun asked.

Ling Yun remained in contact with Kong Xiuru via messages and phone calls after he returned from sea, but Kong Xiuru didn’t mention any of that to him.

“There are more than a dozen classes for year three if we include the revision classes. That is already a headache for her. Moreover, she is now tasked with so many miscellaneous things, and she has to focus on our class…” Zhang Ling ticked them off with her fingers.

“However, there are still people going against her, which makes her work even more difficult…”

“Who’s going against her?” Ling Yun was enraged.

What courage!

“Who else but Vice Principals Wang Weicheng and Qiu Fenghua!” Zhang Ling replied angrily.

Ling Yun made them lose face before he left.

In the month that Ling Yun wasn’t in school, they took revenge and stacked the deck against Kong Xiuru.

Kong Xiuru kept quiet and endured. She neither sought help from Principal Zhang nor told Ling Yun. However, rumors floated, and Kong Xiuru was once again pushed into the spotlight.

Alright, you courted your own death. Don’t blame me for being ruthless! Ling Yun gave a high, cold laugh.

“Didn’t Principal Zhang do anything about it?”

Zhang Ling shook her head. “Principal Zhang climbed his way up, while Wang Weicheng and Qiu Fenghua have strong backgrounds. There are some things he can only turn a blind eye.”

Everyone had their own predicament. Principal Zhang was not omnipotent.

“I understand!” Ling Yun quelled the fire in his stomach with much difficulty.

Zhang Ling changed the topic and asked about the time that Ling Yun was out at sea. Ling Yun gave her a summary, which was enough to surprise her. “Zhang Ling, entering university is not the only route in this world. Would you like to try another route?” Ling Yun asked, trying to entice her.

“Ling Yun, y-you mean I can become as powerful as you?” Zhang Ling couldn’t contain her excitement.

“You can be as long as you are willing to learn and are unafraid of hardship!” Ling Yun laughed.

He pointed to the huge carp in the tank. “Catching fish would become a piece of cake!”

Zhang Ling nodded without hesitation. “Of course, I’m willing to learn. I’ll conquer all hardship!”

She had an excited expression on and a firm tone. Hot blood coursed through her body, and she crossed the Rubicon with Ling Yun.

Ling Yun pulled Zhang Ling into his embrace and put his mouth to her sensitive ear, whispering something that turned her scarlet red.

“D-Dual cultivation? No, that’s too much!”

“I’m not bluffing. As long as you cooperate, I guarantee that you will reach Houtian Realm Level Seven immediately! That is a realm that many practitioners can only dream about!” Ling Yun grinned.

Zhang Ling’s aptitude was worse than Lin Menghan. She could attain Houtian Realm Level Seven, but it would be difficult to reach Houtian Realm Level Nine.

“How about it?”

“Erm… I’ll do everything you say, but… it has to wait until my college entrance exams are over…”

Zhang Ling buried herself into Ling Yun’s embrace and dared not look up for a long time.

Ling Yun was emotional once again as he thought about the wonderful feelings of Dual cultivation. He lifted Zhang Ling’s chin up and aimed at her bright lips.

Zhang Ling lost herself in the kiss but recovered almost immediately. The kiss became passionate.

After some time, Zhang Ling’s phone rang, and they broke apart. “It must be from my mom,” Zhang Ling said with a jump.

She was right, and it was half-past midnight.

Zhang Ling took a few deep breaths before she took the call.

“What time is it! Why aren’t you home yet?” Zhang Ling’s mother’s voice boomed from the speaker.

Zhang Ling glared at Ling Yun before replying to her mother. “Mom, I’m packing my bag. I’ll head home now, my friend is sending me!”

“Come back quickly. Be careful!” Her mother warned before hanging up the phone.

“You got me into deep sh*t! My mom definitely knows I’m lying!”

Ling Yun smirked. “So what? You can’t possibly work so hard every day. All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl…”

Zhang Ling rolled her eyes. “Dull girl? After what you did to me? I’ll definitely have insomnia tonight!”

“Study a bit more if you can’t sleep to get back the two hours you have wasted then!” Ling Yun laughed.

“It wasn’t a waste, I’ll never forget these two hours!” Zhang Ling replied seriously.

“Oh, yes. My mom knows I like you. She told me to… to bring you home after the exams.”

Ling Yun nodded, indicating that there was no problem at all.

Zhang Ling was anxious when she brought up the request. She was satisfied seeing how Ling Yun accepted without hesitation.

Zhang Ling would have given her whole self to Ling Yun if it wasn’t for the heavy stone in her heart called the college entrance exams.

“One more thing…”

“What is it?”

“My aunt has been bugging me about your clinic ever since she learned about it. You’d better give her a call before you’re open. She might be able to help you in some way,” Zhang Ling said.

Ling Yun was confused. What could a surgeon like Liang Fengyi help him with?

“Idiot, my aunt is the attending physician of the surgical department. She can refer patients to you!” Zhang Ling seemed to have read Ling Yun’s mind.

Ling Yun finally understood. A network was indeed the greatest resource.

“Alright, I’ll definitely give her a call!” Ling Yun said straightforwardly.

Ling Yun didn’t need other resources, but he wanted Liang Fengyi. What an unexpected reward.

“It’s late, I’ll send you home now.”

Ling Yun and Zhang Ling returned to the cabin and drove the yacht back to shore at full speed.

They obtained a huge bag from the yacht rental boss to hold the huge fish. They left after saying goodbye to the boss.

“Impressive. This carp must be a female. It must have been willing to die after seeing this handsome young man!” that boss muttered under his breath as they left.

Qingxi Cuiyuan International Garden was only four kilometers away. They reached Zhang Ling’s home in a matter of minutes.

“Is it too heavy for you?” Ling Yun asked.

“No, there’s an elevator inside…” Zhang Ling said shyly. She hadn’t thought of a good enough explanation for her actions tonight.

“How about another kiss?” Ling Yun teased.

“Definitely not. My mom will kill me if she sees it!”

Zhang Ling’s face turned scarlet again as her heart beat like a drum.
