"By the way, why wouldn't you let work with Kern? Are you jealous?" Xiao Chubing suddenly rembered Ling Fan's previous warning towards Kern and couldn't help but tease with curiosity.
Ling Fan smiled and said seriously, "A little jealous, perhaps. But you don't understand this man. It's best not to associate with him!"
"Oh, okay! Did you used to be called Ling Beiming?" Xiao Chubing asked curiously.
She couldn't help but wanted to press for answers. Having been married to Ling Fan for two years, she never took her grandfather's advice to heart. Now she realized how ignorant she had been before!
Two years into the marriage and she knew nothing about her own husband, how shaful!
She wanted to understand now, but was horrified to find she had nowhere to start. What Ling Beiming, War Emperor, and all that, she'd also searched on Baidu, but what she found was all nonsense!
"Ling Beiming was my na before I 'married' you. The War Emperor is just a title. After marrying you, my master told your grandfather that my na was Ling Fan, probably hoping I could live an ordinary life like anyone else," Ling Fan said, his expression turning sowhat distant as he thought of his master, Yan Bao.
Xiao Chubing saw that she had brought up a painful mory for Ling Fan and felt it would be inappropriate to keep probing.
"I know you have many confusions in your heart, and they can't be explained clearly in just a mont. You will naturally learn in ti. Knowing too much now is of no benefit to you. Once I pass on the Cultivation Technique to you, focus on your cultivation!" Ling Fan spoke at ease.
"Mhm, don't worry, I definitely won't be left behind!" Xiao Chubing pursed her lips and nodded.
Just then, Ling Fan suddenly furrowed his brows.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Ling Fan's expression change, Xiao Chubing quickly asked.
"Hehe, get out of bed, we have a visitor!" Ling Fan chuckled lightly. His Divine Sense had been monitoring the villa's surroundings, and he had anticipated soone coming today.
Xiao Chubing's face showed curiosity. "Who's here?"
"Kern," Ling Fan said indifferently as he got out of bed.
"He's here?" Xiao Chubing also got up, straightening her sowhat disheveled nightgown, as Ling Fan had been a bit handsy just monts before.
"Should I change clothes?"
"Up to you! The guy's no honored guest. I'll go out to entertain him!" With that, Ling Fan left the bedroom.
At this mont, Kern, dressed in a business suit, stood outside Xiao Chubing's villa, with Linda in an elegant long dress by his side!
Four elders from Zhongnan Mountain stood in a row, blocking the way in front of Kern and Linda.
"What are you two doing here?" one of the elders asked sternly.
Kern felt the hostility emanating from the four in front of him and the fluctuating aura, grinding his teeth inwardly at the grandeur Ling Beiming displayed.
"Fuck, four Grandmaster Realm experts guarding the door?" Kern murmured to himself, taking a deep breath as his desire to obtain the list grew even stronger.
Linda was also stunned, speechless as she looked at the four individuals before her.
The War Emperor's reputation was not unwarranted; was Ling Beiming's network really that powerful? She wondered if these four were mbers from the list.
In fact, the four old tirs were also feeling downcast, having been scolded by Ling Fan, and could barely save their pride. They dared not make any more slip-ups and couldn't think of resting.
They ca out imdiately, each guarding a direction: east, south, west, and north, and when they spotted two unfamiliar foreigners at the front gate, they stopped them right away!
"Elders, I am a friend of Ling Beiming. Please pass on the ssage that I have co to see him," Kern said, fist in palm, performing a Huaxia-style courtesy.
He had to be respectful. With just a slap, any one of these old tirs could scare him to death; he wouldn't dare to act arrogantly!
On hearing this, the elders looked at each other. There was only Ling Fan here; what Ling Beiming?
A few people pondered for a mont before speaking, "You've got the wrong place; there is no Ling Beiming here. Leave quickly, or do not bla us for being rciless!"
Kern was at a loss for words and glanced at Linda, wondering if their investigation could have been wrong.
Linda was stunned, then quickly realized, "Ling Fan, we're looking for Ling Fan. Ling Fan is Ling Beiming!"
Kern also realized and rembered the way everyone referred to Ling Beiming in the hall earlier, realizing that no one knew his true na during his two years hidden in Huaxia.
"Could it be that he took the opportunity of being besieged last ti to intentionally hide in plain sight?" Kern murmured to himself.
Just then, the voice of Ling Fan ca to the ears of the four elders, "They are here to see , please let the two of them in!"
The four of them were startled and looked at each other in dismay, could Young Master Ling actually project his voice secretly?
"Young Master Ling invites you, please co in!" one of the elders who recovered first said.
Upon hearing this, Kern exchanged a nervous glance with Linda and stepped into the villa, truly intimidated by the four Grandmaster Realm guards at the door!
In the living room, Ling Fan was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of fragrant tea, and remained indifferent at the arrival of Kern and Linda.
"Beiming, my apologies for the intrusion. I hope I haven't disturbed you," Kern said with a light laugh.
"Hmm, disturbed or not, you're still here, aren't you?" Ling Fan said expressionlessly.
Kern chuckled awkwardly, "Beiming, we're old friends. Are you really not going to welco ?"
"Haha, you must be here for sothing important, otherwise you wouldn't visit," Ling Fan put down his teacup.
"Haha, Beiming, it's no fun to chat like this. I've co specifically to visit you, the Hell Idlers I lead haven't brought you any sha!" Kern said with a smile.
As he spoke, Kern took a seat on the sofa opposite Ling Fan, comfortably across the glass coffee table.
Ling Fan let out a snort of laughter, "Oh, is that so?" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
At that mont, Linda also sat down next to Kern, holding a handbag, "Beiming, Kern has prepared a special gift for you!"
Just then, Xiao Chubing, having changed into an off-the-shoulder dress that was elegant yet dignified, gracefully walked out of the room.
"Hello!" Xiao Chubing greeted.
Kern's eyes lit up at the sight, and he waved back, "Madam Xiao is truly beautiful!"
As he spoke, three other won erged from the other rooms, it was Feng Shuya and the others.
Kern and Linda looked up to see each woman was stunningly beautiful and beyond compare.
Kern blinked and said enviously to Ling Fan, "Beiming, I'm starting to envy your life. No wonder you've disappeared without a trace for two years!"
Upon hearing about Ling Fan's whereabouts from two years ago, Xiao Chubing's ears perked up since any information about Ling Fan's past was of great interest to her.
Feng Shuya and the other won were also curious about the matters between Kern and Ling Fan, so when they heard the noise, they too ca to the living room.
Ling Fan glanced at the won who had co out but did not explain anything to Kern.
Instead, he said calmly, "It's better to withdraw and net your own fish than to envy those in the pond. If you want it, you can have it too. Why envy others?"
"Hehe, I don't have your kind of luck, destined to worry and toil," Kern laughed dryly.
Changing the subject, he said, "Take a look at the gift I've prepared for you. You'll definitely like it. Linda, bring out the gift!"
