Tianxi Pavilion, in Murong Wens.h.i.+'s office.

Song Zhengyang usually appeared domineering when he wasn't with someone he was very close with because of his status. However, he was totally different in front of old acquaintances. He quickly made the atmosphere of the office very lively.

Song Zhengyang and Murong Wens.h.i.+ were experts in antiques, jewelry, gambling stones, and the like. With the addition of Tang Meng, the self-styled "small gambling G.o.d", the three talked until there seemed to be no tomorrow.

However, the key person today was Ling Yun. Murong Wens.h.i.+ was afraid that he might feel left out, so he found a place to interject Ling Yun into the conversation. "Little pal Ling Yun, I didn't think someone as young as you would also have an interest in gambling stones…"

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head. "Elder Murong, you're old enough to be my grandpa, but you call me little pal. I think that's a tad inappropriate…"

Ling Yun knew Murong Wens.h.i.+ did that because he was thankful that Ling Yun saved his life.

Song Zhengyang could also feel the awkwardness between them. He burst into a hearty laugh.

"Say, don't make it so troublesome, you two. Why don't you do it this way, Elder Murong, just call Ling Yun by his name. Ling Yun, if you don't feel too awkward, why don't you address Elder Murong as Grandpa? Is this more palatable?"

"If not, where should I stand? No, no, this definitely cannot do!" Song Zhengyang paused before saying half-seriously.

Song Zhengyang was indeed someone used to such scenes. Not only did he resolve the awkwardness, but he did it with a joke that left no one in a bad light.

Ling Yun naturally grasped the rope Song Zhengyang dangled him. "Grandpa Murong," Ling Yun said.

Murong Wens.h.i.+ laughed happily, agreeing to it immediately. "Alright, I just have to act my age. I'll call you Ling Yun from now on."

"You should have called me that earlier, it was so awkward…" Ling Yun jested.

The atmosphere became even more lively now.

Just then, a knock came on the door. Murong Feixue entered.

"Grandpa, you called for me? Uncle Song, you're here as well?" Murong Feixue greeted the elders.

Ling Yun didn't turn back. He used his divine sense to "look" at her and nodded in approval. She was a fine lady indeed!

Feixue was vexed recently, so she wasn't in her best condition. That didn't do too much disservice to her nonetheless.

Murong Feixue was more than 170 centimeters tall. She had fair skin, slender eyebrows, a sharp nose, and cascading black hair pulled up in a tight bun that made her neck look even more slender. She donned a black office lady dress with a bandage skirt, revealing her beautiful figure. She had flesh-colored transparent stockings on, and high-heeled sandals of six centimeters. She was decent, elegant, and s.e.xy.

Murong Wens.h.i.+ got up upon seeing his precious granddaughter coming through the door. "Feixue, the person whom you said you couldn't find twice, Ling Yun, is here today!"

Ling Yun had his back on her all this while, but he stood up upon Murong Wens.h.i.+'s introduction. He turned and smiled sweetly at the approaching Murong Feixue.

Murong Feixue stopped in her tracks. Who was this? She could hardly believe her eyes!

"You… You are…"

T-this is Ling Yun? Is this still that fata.s.s of one hundred kilograms?

Murong Feixue raised her slender hand and rubbed her eyes. She peered at Ling Yun's facial features once again. Yes, this was Ling Yun indeed.

Ling Yun had attained Physique Tempering Stage Three when Murong Feixue saw him and had already lost a bit of weight then. The baby fat was mostly gone from his face then, revealing a handsome young man in the making, just not as perfect as what he had now.

The thing that shocked Murong Feixue the most was Ling Yun's figure. How could it be so perfect? Confidence and calmness exuded from him.

How was this possible? He had become another person entirely!

Murong Feixue felt like an electric current ran through her with Ling Yun's gaze.

Of course, transformation was one thing. The gaze of a handsome person produced very different effects compared to that of an ugly person. It was basically the complete opposite.

Ling Yun wasn't about to stare at Murong Feixue with lecherous eyes now, Murong Wens.h.i.+ and Song Zhengyang were present.

"Miss Murong, I'm so happy to see you again. You've become more beautiful!" Ling Yun broke the ice.

Murong Feixue's heart thumped again. She didn't know how to react all of a sudden. However, she knew that there were two perky bugs coming right behind her!

"Erm… h.e.l.lo, Ling Yun, your transformation… is huge…" Murong Feixue said with a red face.

Song Zhengyang found it terribly funny. They had been searching for Ling Yun for two months but were unable to recognize him!

Ling Yun returned to the sofa and didn't take a second look at Murong Feixue after he greeted her.

Murong Wens.h.i.+ couldn't help but sigh. His granddaughter must have gone overboard the last time they met for the atmosphere to be so awkward. He looked at Ling Yun apologetically.

"Where? Sister Feixue, where is your boyfriend? Introduce us!"

Zhu Yongw.a.n.g and Hou Yaozong shouted before they entered the room.

Murong Feixue knew this was going to s.h.i.+t, so she tried to block them from entering. However, it was too late, as the two nouveau riches had already moved to the sofa.

Murong Wens.h.i.+, Song Zhengyang, Ling Yun, and Tang Meng stared in astonishment. Murong Feixue's boyfriend? Who?

Murong Feixue knew things had blown up. She tried once again, in vain, to chase the two guys out. "Ooi, you two there, which of you is Sister Feixue's boyfriend?" Zhu Yongw.a.n.g demanded.

There were four people in the room. Murong Wens.h.i.+ and Song Zhengyang were obviously not Murong Feixue's boyfriend. It was either Ling Yun or Tang Meng by process of elimination. They pointed at Ling Yun haughtily. "Is it him, Sister Feixue?"

Murong Wens.h.i.+ and Song Zhengyang looked at each other, confused. When did Ling Yun become Feixue's boyfriend? They directed their gazes to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun didn't pay attention to Murong Feixue's conversation just now since he was searching for treasures. He, therefore, didn't understand what was going on.

Song Zhengyang was livid upon seeing how insolent Zhu Yongw.a.n.g was with Ling Yun. However, both nouveau riches were big clients of Murong Wens.h.i.+. He could, therefore, only pull a gloomy face and keep quiet.

These two idiots don't know who they're dealing with! You're going to die terribly! Song Zhengyang thought to himself.

Song Zhengyang attended the grand opening of Ling Yun's clinic. He knew just how incredible Ling Yun was. It wasn't his place to bother about what was going to happen anyway, so he just sat back and waited for the show to unfold.

"Keep your dirty paw away, who the f*ck do you think you're pointing at?"

Tang Meng stepped in. He had never seen someone pointing at Ling Yun so brazenly in Qingshui City!

Ling Yun sipped his tea calmly, ignoring Zhu Yongw.a.n.g's rudeness.

Zhu Yongw.a.n.g was used to being arrogant, so he became angry after seeing how Ling Yun didn't bother with him. "Chi, I wondered who it was, he turned out to be a gigolo! Your branded clothes are probably counterfeit? Or second-hand goods? However, your face does look alright…"

Ling Yun had so many G.o.ddesses around him now. Every one of them was fighting to buy clothes for him, and only the best. That was why even though Ling Yun was dressed casually, everything on him was branded goods.

Since Hou Yaozong and Zhu Yongw.a.n.g were in an alliance, Hou Yaozong didn't let it slip either. "Rascal, I'm sure it's you. Tell me, what's your name? What does your family do? What's your profession, and where are you working?"

These two nouveau riches threw their weight around shamelessly, ignoring the occasion and the people in the room.

Ling Yun obviously didn't bother with them. He continued sipping away at his tea, ignoring their incessant barking.

Ling Yun wasn't in a hurry to destroy them.

It was too late for Murong Wens.h.i.+ to make introductions. He might have a good temper, but this was pus.h.i.+ng it. He had to get to the bottom of this.

"Feixue, explain yourself," Murong Wens.h.i.+ said in a low voice.

Murong Feixue panicked. She didn't think that things would turn out this way. "I… I told them that Ling Yun is my boyfriend…" she blurted out.
