Tang Tianhao had heard a lot about Ling Yun from Tang Meng. Thus, he had used his connections to find out more about Ling Yun. Therefore, he knew about Ling Yun and his situation.
Ling Yun was obviously sucking up to Tang Tianhao when he said that he was tall and mighty, but that did not stop him from feeling good.
Tang Tianhao nodded and smiled amicably towards Ling Yun. “Yes, I was going to get Tang Meng to invite you to our home soon. Tell me, what exactly is going on here?”
Ling Yun nodded and was about to reply when he suddenly looked towards the gate in excitement!
Spiritual energy! It was the spiritual energy from the nine-tailed celestial fox, Little White!
The Nine-tailed celestial fox was a rare beast, even in the Cultivation World. Once all nine tails sprouted, it would be even more powerful than the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise – the Four Symbols of the Chinese Constellations! How could it not possess any spiritual energy?
“Even Little White is here?” Ling Yun wondered incredulously. He felt extremely happy.
His question was answered instantly as he heard the roar of the Hummer.
Xiao Meimei pushed the Hummer to its limits and finally returned back to the scene!
“My G.o.d! Why are there so many police cars?!”
Xiao Meimei felt a sense of conflict as she saw the police cars lined up in front of the gates of the villa.
Xiao Meimei was naturally wary of the police since she was an a.s.sa.s.sin by profession.
Even though she was no longer an a.s.sa.s.sin, this reaction had long since become an instinct and a part of her.
The huge burden weighing her down was lifted once she saw Ling Yun smiling and heading towards her.
Nothing mattered as long as Ling Yun was fine.
Xiao Meimei and Little White got down the car. Xiao Meimei turned many heads from the police with her s.e.xy body. They only turned back towards their duties hastily when Tang Tianhao coughed.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come back? Why are you here?”
Ling Yun replenished his spiritual energy hungrily from Little White as he held Xiao Meimei’s shoulders, inquiring gently.
Xiao Meimei trembled, elated at Ling Yun’s gentleness with her. She blushed and twisted her body slightly. “I was worried about you dealing with so many people on your own…”
Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining looked on at this scene with great jealousy from afar.
“There is no point in being jealous. Ling Yun is here to save my elder sister — and he succeeded. Let me tell you, he calls my sister his wife!” Zhuang Meina added fuel to the flames.
“You!”
“Shut up!”
The expressions on Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining changed. They reached an agreement with an exchange of glances and glared at their common enemy, Zhuang Meina.
Zhuang Meina sneered as she pointed towards the masked Miao Xiaomiao. “Why are you glaring at me? Do you see that masked lady? She is also here to save my brother-in-law!” She said playfully.
Zhuang Meina deliberately emphasized on the phrase “brother-in-law” to further provoke the two stunning beauties.
“You dare continue?!” Xue Meining exploded and was about to do something to that b*tch Zhuang Meina.
Cao Shanshan was more rational. She poked Xue Meining’s arm lightly and smiled towards Zhuang Meina. “Well, unlike someone who can only address Ling Yun as her brother-in-law even though she desperately loves him, we at least have the qualification and the right to be jealous.”
Cao Shanshan cleverly discerned and used Zhuang Meina’s weakness against her.
“You!” Zhuang Meina, could only turn her head away in anger since she was unable to refute Cao Shanshan’s statement.
Cao Shanshan smiled victoriously and dismissed Zhuang Meina. She turned her attention to Miao Xiaomiao.
That figure… seems to be Miao Xiaomiao… Cao Shanshan thought to herself uncertainly.
It would be a disaster if it was actually Miao Xiaomiao. The lady in the mask seemed to be on Ling Yun’s side. If that was the case, the purpose of Miao Xiaomiao’s transfer into Grade 12 Cla.s.s 6 of Qingshui High was obviously because of Ling Yun!
“Wow, look… That white fox is so cute!” Xue Meining pointed in Ling Yun’s direction with a look of surprise on her face.
…
The nine-tailed celestial fox had only just sprouted her second tail. Therefore, even though the spiritual energy seeping out from her was pure and powerful, it was not enough. There was less spiritual energy coming from her than from either the s.h.i.+chiyou herb or Ning Lingyu’s innate spiritual body.
Unlike Ning Lingyu, Little White was a pract.i.tioner and was able to control her own spiritual energy. Little White had visited the bank where the s.h.i.+chiyou herb grew periodically to absorb spiritual energy and advance its practice.
Therefore, though Ling Yun was deliberately absorbing the spiritual energy, he still had only twenty percent of his spiritual energy.
Something was better than nothing! On the surface, Ling Yun seemed to have an advantage in numbers, but he was not sure if this could actually win against the Sun Family.
Ling Yun was no longer interested in escaping. He had to fight back!
The tide has turned in my favor! I have the numbers! Taking advantage of the situation was Ling Yun’s style!
He was absorbing the spiritual energy of the nine-tailed celestial fox and comforting Xiao Meimei. But at the same time, he was actually staring intently at every move of the four masters.
It would be perfect if I could come up with an excuse for Uncle Tang to open fire and kill them all…
Ling Yun was not in the mood for any arduous one-on-one battles since he had been bullied so badly just now. He liked to solve problems in the most simple and efficient manner.
…
“Mrs. Sun, rest a.s.sured, Master Sun was accidentally injured by Priest Compa.s.sionless. He has only fainted from the pain from his legs. He is still alive!”
Liu Deming tried to reason with Niu Fenjiao after she had calmed down. He knew best since he had blocked the attack by Priest Compa.s.sionless with his fly-whisk.
“I will personally attend to Master Sun with my Maoshan Daoist Skill and repair his legs at all cost as long as we can get him back.”
“Madame, the situation is dire. The police officers are obviously here for Ling Yun. Perhaps you have a way around it,” He Xingyan added.
Niu Fenjiao had to remain composed. Even though she was angry that the four masters did not care about her son’s life, they were on the same boat.
Moreover, her son was still alive. If not, Ling Yun would not have carried Sun Xing everywhere with him.
Niu Fenjiao looked at the sea of black holes from the pistols and sneered. “Don’t worry. These policemen wouldn’t dare to shoot me. Cover me as I head over!”
Niu Fenjiao had been in and out of the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau over these past few days to get them to issue an arrest warrant for Ling Yun. She naturally knew Tang Tianhao.
Niu Fenjiao led her people towards Tang Tianhao and stopped about four meters short of him.
“Deputy Director Tang, I didn’t think we would meet again so soon!” Niu Fenjiao seemed to have forgotten all the mud on her as she resumed her superior at.i.ttude over these common people.
Tang Tianhao saw Niu Fenjiao from a distance, and he had basically figured out the whole story through Kang Ruiyong’s report.
Plainly, Niu Fenjiao wanted to have the Public Security Bureau’s help in arresting Ling Yun, but the Public Security Bureau did not want to intervene. That led her to settle it privately. She had managed to lure Ling Yun here, and what happened next resulted in the scene before them.
“Oh, hi, Mrs. Sun. It’s nice to meet you!” Tang Tianhao answered without hesitation without giving anything else away.
“Deputy Director Tang, I wonder why you have so many police officers pointing their guns at me. I have not committed any crime.” Niu Fenjiao started her attack.
“Mrs Sun, we are just doing our duties as law enforcement officers by controlling the situation. We are not against anyone!” Tang Tianhao said lightly without betraying any emotion.
Niu Fenjiao pointed at Sun Xing lying on the ground and said sorrowfully, “Deputy Director Tang, the one lying in front of you is my son, the Master of the Sun Family. He has been severely wounded. Can you give him to me so that I can get someone to treat him as soon as possible?”
Tang Tianhao smiled. “My apologies, everything is still unclear now. I will need to investigate first before giving you an answer.”
“You!” Anger flashed past Niu Fenjiao’s eyes as since Tang Tianhao did not yield to her.
“Deputy Director Tang, you do know that by doing this, you are going up against the Sun Family, right?” Niu Fenjiao started threatening him.
“Mrs. Sun, that is too serious. As a public law enforcement officer, I am just carrying out my duties in accordance to procedures!” Tang Tianhao laughed dismissively.
Tang Tianhao embodied a heroic spirit. He would not be threatened by Niu Fenjiao since he had chosen to stand by Ling Yun.
What a hero! The acorn does not fall far from the tree. It’s precisely because Tang Tianhao is such a good father that there is such a good son!
Ling Yun stood not far away with a smile of admiration as he saw how Tang Tianhao handled Niu Fenjiao calmly. t.i.t for tat!
Ling Yun had sealed the acupuncture points on Sun Xing. He would die without a doubt within twenty-four hours, just like what He Xingyan had said!
Sun Xing was already dead in Ling Yun’s eyes! The only difference was earlier or later.
Ling Yun had a strong army with him so he did not really need Sun Xing as a hostage. He thus concentrated on absorbing Little White’s spiritual energy in preparation for the big battle ahead.
