“You’re really shameless. You pieces of trash want to take something that belongs to me?” Ling Yun didn’t hold back as he laughed coldly.

No matter how well someone talked, if their fists couldn’t live up to the fight at the critical moment, it was useless. With two punches, Ling Yun crippled Cheng Gangxiong’s arm.

Cheng Gangxiong suffered critical injuries from Ling Yun’s attacks. His energy center and meridians were damaged. For a moment, he couldn’t move or talk at all. He could only vomit blood.

Long Tianjiao’s expression changed. “Brother Ling, Uncle Cheng was only a little rash just now. He didn’t want to hurt you. But you, how could you...”

Ling Yun couldn’t be bothered to spare him another word. He replied plainly, “Long Tianjiao, before I really get mad, you’d better leave as soon as you can. If you don’t, I’ll beat you up too!”

Without another word, Long Tianjiao quietly picked up the heavily injured Cheng Gangxiong and left spitefully. He knew that there was no way he could defeat Ling Yun, and Ling Yun would really beat him up.

Before they left, he didn’t forget to take another peek at Long Wu. Then, he stared at the Green Dragon Out at Sea reluctantly.

This left Ling Yun puzzled. He wondered why Long Tianjiao looked at Long Wu so often.

Ling Yun saw this happen numerous times already. At first, he acted like it wasn’t a big deal. However, he felt that Long Tianjiao’s gaze towards Long Wu wasn’t normal.

Don’t tell me this brat wants to take my wife away... Ling Yun muttered in his heart. Damn, if that was the case, he’d castrate him!

After Long Tianjiao left, Ling Yun smiled as he turned back to the shocked crowd. He said cheekily, “Sorry about that, I was a little too harsh just now. That brat destroyed Boss Jade’s emeralds but didn’t even offer to compensate him for it. Just charge it to me...”

“That’s alright, they’re nothing more than a few lousy rocks. What’s there to compensate?” The Lord of Jade hurriedly followed up.

The fact that Ling Yun publicly beat Cheng Gangxiong up here meant that he intended to assert his authority. Today, he managed to close a huge deal. Anyone who dared to fight his moneymaker better think about whether they could withstand Ling Yun’s punches.

“When little pal was splitting the King of Stones, your eyes glimmered for a moment before you split it in half. I’ve always been curious about it, but now, I know that little pal is a legendary martial arts expert too!”

The gaze Han Laosan shot toward Ling Yun changed. There was an extra tinge of respect now.

As for the other timid jewelry traders, seeing Ling Yun’s charisma, their faces turned pale. They thought back to the time they were mocking him. If Ling Yun was a little upset...

That wasn’t a good outcome to think about.

“Alright, brat, this move of yours was amazing. I’m changing my view of you!” Song Zhengyang moved forward excitedly. He wrapped his arm around Ling Yun as he laughed.

“Don’t do that. Uncle Song, I really have to leave now. I have something urgent to attend to...”

With that, Ling Yun immediately bade farewell to the crowd. He left a few words. No matter what they had to discuss, it had to wait until another day. Then, he brought Long Wu with him and left.

Seeing Ling Yun leave without sparing her another look, Murong Feixue couldn’t help but reveal her disappointment and sadness.

After Ling Yun left, he called a cab to send Long Wu back home. Then, he rushed back to Mansion Number One on his own. Right now, Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were both there. They stood on each side of the truck without moving a single step.

“Open the doors!”

Both doors opened simultaneously. Ling Yun dashed into the truck immediately, storing all of the spiritual stones into his spatial ring immediately.

Ling Yun thought about it for a while before storing that large, amazing stone into his spatial ring as well. Even though it didn’t have any spiritual energy, it was far too precious. He could only be at ease if he carried it himself.

“What a waste of space! I don’t have enough space on my spatial ring anymore...” Ling Yun was perplexed. He had just upgraded his spatial ring not long ago. However, this huge stone had taken more than half of the space he had.

“It looks like I need to trade it quickly!” Ling Yun muttered as he stored that candied gourd in his spatial ring as well. This took up another significant part of his storage space.

“God, you can fit so much stuff in it?” Even though Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu knew that Ling Yun had the spatial ring, they didn’t expect such a huge rock to fit inside as well. They were both simultaneously stunned.

“What about Lingyu and the others?” After storing everything, Ling Yun finally asked the two of them this.

“Great Aunt took Xian Er and Lingyu back to Qingshui Wharf’s Mansion Number Nine already. After Ning Er and Miao Xiaomiao got off work at the clinic, they didn’t return, they went straight to Miracle Doctor Xue’s house,” Tang Meng told Ling Yun.

“Then, did my aunt say anything?”

“Yeah, she said to focus on cultivating and have your meals. Attend classes properly, study well, and go back to Qingshui Wharf twice a week...” Tang Meng knew how amazing Qin Dongxue was. He didn’t even dare to miss a word from her.

“I got it. Have the two of you eaten?” Ling Yun asked.

“How would we dare? If we lost these treasures because we were hungry, what would we do?” Tang Meng pouted as he said this. However, now that Ling Yun had stored the most valuable items, he was much more relaxed.

Ling Yun chuckled. “Then, that’s perfect. The two of you should bring the rest of these emeralds to Tianxi Pavillion. Then, eat together with Uncle Song after that. Tang Meng, you need to make sure you learn well from him.”

Hearing this, Tang Meng lost his cool. “Brother Yun, are these stones profitable?”

Ling Yun laughed. “Isn’t it obvious? Did you think I would really buy three cartloads of trash? Each and every one of them will definitely make a lot!”

Tang Meng asked agitatedly, “Then, why send it to Tianxi Pavillion? You’re not giving it to them, are you?”

Tang Meng thought that Brother Yun wasn’t on great terms with Murong Feixue either. Compared to Long Wu, she was a far cry. These three carts of stones were definitely worth billions. How could Brother Yun be willing to give them away like that?

Ling Yun understood Tang Meng’s intentions. He laughed. “It’s not for free. This is so that they can retrieve the rocks to sell in their store. Your trip isn’t just to learn from Uncle Song. Your main objective is to close a business deal with them.”

“Once these stones are retrieved, you have to give Elder Murong and Uncle Song two percent of the earnings. Then, sell them at a 20% discount based on the market price. You don’t have to be in a rush to collect the money. Let them sell the goods. Once they’ve received the money, it won’t be too late for them to pay us after that!”

Anyway, Ling Yun wasn’t short on money at the moment.

Until he began forging weapons and had to acquire large amounts of materials, that was the time he would really need money.

Ling Yun searched for various gold materials’ prices. He acquired thousands in tons at once. He knew that the amount of money he needed was sky-high. Now that he had these two rocks in his possession, he felt a little more secure.

“Give them a 20% discount? How about 10%?” Tang Meng’s heart ached as he negotiated with Ling Yun.

“There’s no negotiation. Sell it to them at a 20% discount. In the future, if you still want to manage the Heaven and Earth Group, you still need to rely on Uncle Song and the others!”

“And, if the Lord of Jade and Boss Han have time, you’d better spend time building your relationship with them. They aren’t bad people either.”

Ling Yun left many assignments to Tie Xiaohu. Finally, he said, “After the two of you leave, the first thing you need to remember is that you’re representing me. You’re not allowed to embarrass me. Secondly, if they ask about me, say what you need to. But you’re absolutely not allowed to talk about anything you’re not supposed to. Understand?”

Tang Meng thought that it seemed like Big Brother Yun was about to conquer Qingshui City’s Antique Market. So, he decided not to say anything more. He nodded quickly in response.

Once Ling Yun finished his words, he received Lin Menghan’s text to hurry up. She asked him when he was coming over.

Lin Zhenggang had stayed in Qingshui City for far too long. Without settling what he had to, he had no choice but to leave Qingshui City tonight. That was why Lin Menghan was in such a rush.

Driving his own Land Rover, Ling Yun left Mansion Number One quickly and sped towards the Luxurious Hot Springs Manor.

Considering the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone from the Lin Family, there was no way Ling Yun could just ignore Lin Zhenggang.

Within 20 minutes, Ling Yun arrived at the entrance of Lin Menghan’s mansion. That very same military vehicle was parked there, with four military soldiers on stand-by. It seemed like they were waiting for Lin Zhenggang to finish his conversation with Ling Yun before they would leave.

“Ling Yun, you’re here? Hurry and come in. My father’s been waiting for a long time!”

Ling Menghan heard the roar of Ling Yun’s car. She rushed out of the mansion hurriedly, wearing a comfortable lace dress. The four hot-blooded military soldiers outside stared so hard that their Adam’s apples were quivering.

“I’ve been far too busy today...” Ling Yun found an excuse. Of course, it was still the truth.

They entered the house quickly, and Lin Zhenggang saw Ling Yun walk in. Smiling, he stood up. “Ling Yun, you’re here? Have a seat.”

“Uncle Lin, hello...” Ling Yun said courteously as he stepped into the house.

Lin Zhenggang waited for Ling Yun to sit down before he went straight to the point. “Ling Yun, I need to head back to my division soon. So, I don’t have a lot of time. Let’s make this quick.”

Ling Yun smiled. “Uncle Lin, speak your mind. You don’t have to hold back. I have to thank you for the gift you offered me yesterday. It’s something very useful for me. I hope you’ll extend my gratitude on my behalf.”

Lin Zhenggang replied, “Yes, Menghan has told me a lot over these two days. You are truly... an amazing young man. Young but ambitious, I have relayed this to Menghan’s mother and grandfather as well. They hope that you’ll visit them together with Menghan soon.”

Lin Menghan squeaked in response as she was impossibly embarrassed. However, Ling Yun continued smiling as he said, “That’s a given. After the college examinations, the summer break will be long. I will definitely make a trip to visit them in that timeframe.”

Lin Zhenggang nodded. Then, he changed the topic quickly as he stared at Ling Yun and said, “Ling Yun, I know that you’re not a normal person. But Menghan is my one and only daughter. Since the two of you have already, ahem, are already together, our Lin Family will not object either. So, you absolutely have to treat her well. You cannot bully her!”

The old man was asserting his authority here, so he quickly nodded seriously without missing a beat.

“Finally, there’s one last thing, and it’s the most important thing. Menghan and the Long Family’s Long Tianjiao used to have an engagement. Even though their family was the one who proposed to withdraw the engagement, something like this will definitely create a thorn in the Long Family’s heart. In the future, many things won’t work as well as they should...”

Without waiting for Lin Zhenggang to finish his sentence, Ling Yun stood up quickly. The corners of his lips curled into a confident smile. He said plainly, “Uncle Lin, don’t worry. From now on, I’ll protect the Lin Family. The Lin Family will only prosper from now on. No harm will fall onto you!”

Ling Yun said this decisively as his aura overwhelmed the entire house!
