Chapter 350: Chapter 0349: First Encounter with Murong Ruyin (Two more updates)_1
“My na is Ye Xiong, Ye as in ‘leaf’, Xiong as in ‘hero’, not the Xiong of a bear.”
Pfft.
Duanmu Linglong couldn’t help but laugh at his joke and sighed before saying, “Ye Xiong, promise one thing.”
“What is it?”
“If one day, my father falls into your hands, I hope you can give him a quick end, and not let him be tortured.”
“I won’t kill him, I will just hand him over to the authorities, but if push cos to shove, I promise you that request.”
Ye Xiong thought for a mont then suddenly asked, “What if one day I fall into your father’s hands and he wants to kill , would you plead for ?”
“I definitely will.”
“Why?”
“Because you are from the National Security Bureau, I don’t want my dad to make another mistake.”
“I thought it was because I am handso!” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.
“You wish, at best you’re like an ordinary pawn, and you call that handso!”
With Ye Xiong’s teasing, Duanmu Linglong felt much better.
“Rest easy here for a while, don’t think too much; it’s useless to worry, what will co, will co.”
When Ye Xiong had finished speaking, he was about to pat her on the shoulder, only to realize it was inappropriate.
He liked to pat won on the shoulders, whether it was Yang Xinyi, Tang Ning, or Luo Weiwei and Du Yuehua; it had gradually beco a habit. However, his hand stopped mid-air when he rembered that he wasn’t that close with Duanmu Linglong yet.
He felt a bit embarrassed and quickly withdrew his hand.
“You seem pretty used to touching won inappropriately,” Duanmu Linglong said with disdain.
Ye Xiong broke into a sweat.
“That was ant to be an encouraging gesture, okay? The real inappropriate touch isn’t on the shoulder, it’s here,” he said, feigning a move toward her chest.
He thought Duanmu Linglong would definitely dodge and then break out cursing but, to his surprise, not only did she not move away, she actually puffed out her chest, and her eyes seed to say: “Try and touch, I dare you.”
Ye Xiong beat a retreat, pulling back his hand, and pointed towards the inner room: “I’m going to discuss serious matters with Master Murong.”
Watching his retreating back, Duanmu Linglong muttered under her breath, “Lustful heart, but no courage.”
However, she felt much better after chatting with him.
When Ye Xiong returned to the living room, the bodies on the floor had already been dealt with.
Murong Feng seed to have gradually recovered from his grief.
“Ruyin, this is Ye Xiong, a master from the Dragon Group, we owe him a lot for saving this ti. This is my daughter, Murong Ruyin,” introduced Murong Feng.
“Hello,” greeted Ye Xiong.
“Hello, and thank you for saving my father,” Murong Ruyin replied.
“No need to thank , you’ve also saved my wife before.”
“I’ve saved your wife?” Murong Ruyin was taken aback.
“Do you rember, once in Jiangnan City, you cured a woman who was poisoned by the Ice Gu?” Ye Xiong reminded her.
“Are you talking about Yang Xinyi?”
“That’s right, if it hadn’t been for you, she might have been in serious trouble.”
“I never imagined, you’re the ‘him’ that Xinyi always talks about,” Murong Ruyin was very surprised. Seeing the puzzled look on Ye Xiong’s face, she explained, “I stayed at Yang Xinyi’s place for a few days while treating her and she ntioned you. She said you were a very good person, soone who would risk everything to save a regular friend.”
“I thought she would curse out as worthless!” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.
“Whether a woman is happy can be discerned from how she talks about her man. So won talk all about love, but it sounds contrived, while others may curse their husbands as worthless, yet their words are filled with love.”
“Miss Murong speaks so profoundly!”
“Just call Ruyin!”
Ye Xiong couldn’t help but size up Murong Ruyin; regrettably, she wore a veil and a head cover, making it impossible to discern her appearance.
He had heard from Chen Xiao that Murong Ruyin was Huaxia’s foremost miracle woman in the dical field, not only possessing a peerless beauty but also dical skills that were first-class, nearly matching her father’s. It was a pity he couldn’t see her true face.
“I’m sorry, I have compelling reasons that prevent from showing my face, my apologies,” Murong Ruyin said politely, noticing his gaze.
“I’m the one who should be sorry,” Ye Xiong quickly averted his eyes.
Murong Ruyin found his everlasting politeness and courtesy to be sowhat surprising.
When helping Yang Xinyi with her treatnt, she heard Yang Xinyi say that her husband was all right except for being too much of a playboy, surrounded by many won, a true playboy. Now that she saw him, it seed that wasn’t the case at all.
But appearances could be deceiving, and maybe he was just putting on an act.
“Let’s focus on the matter at hand!” Ye Xiong thought for a mont before asking Murong Feng, “Mr. Murong, I ca to ask about the dical conference of the Lingnan Sect. If one wins, other than earning the title of Lingnan dical God, what other rewards are there?”
Long Tianya wouldn’t go to such lengths just for a re title.
“The dical conference of the Lingnan Sect is held once every five years. The winner gains the title of Lingnan dical God for five years, along with a substantial sum of money and various sponsorships; it’s fair to say they receive both fa and fortune.”
“Is there anything else?”
Murong Feng’s expression showed difficulty.
“The Beast Organization doesn’t lack money, nor do they need fa. They absolutely wouldn’t do all this just for that.” Seeing Murong Feng’s silence, Ye Xiong spoke sternly, “Mr. Murong, this is serious. I hope you can be honest with us, as it relates to our subsequent strategy deploynt.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to say, but the esteed teachings of our ancestors state that only the victor of the dical conference, only those who earn the title of Lingnan dical God, are qualified to know the truth.”
“Extraordinary situations require extraordinary asures, can you not divulge the truth?”
“This is a legacy of the Lingnan Sect; I dare not decide on my own. I hope you can understand,” Murong Feng responded.
“Mr. Murong…”
“Mr. Ye, you have co a long way, and it’s been hard. I will arrange a place for you to stay,” Murong Ruyin interjected.
“Then I’ll trouble Miss Ruyin,” he said.
Next, Murong Ruyin led Ye Xiong and his companions upstairs to find a place to stay.
The Murong family villa was five stories high, with many vacant rooms, more than enough to accommodate the group.
Ye Xiong got a room to himself, Wu Wang and Gecko, along with another agent, shared a room, the An Family sisters got another room, and Duanmu Linglong had her own room.
After the arrangents, Ye Xiong called everyone, except Duanmu Linglong, to his room to discuss important matters.
He repeated the conversation he had had with Murong Feng.
“This old man, we go through all the trouble of saving him, travel miles to rescue his family, and he just dismisses us with talk of old legacies. If he doesn’t tell us, how are we supposed to know Ghost’s target?” An Le’er, who had the fieriest temper, couldn’t help but curse.
“What era is this, still clinging to legacies, pah!” An Ji’er was equally displeased.
“Keep it down, don’t let others hear,” Ye Xiong said sternly.
The An Family sisters quieted down, but it was obvious they were still upset.
“What do you plan to do?” Wu Wang looked at Ye Xiong.
“We must find out what the prize of this dical conference is, otherwise we’ll be like blind people, unable to fathom Ghost’s purposes, let alone set up a plan of action… With everyone’s efforts combined, let’s think of a solution.”
