Chapter 617
Over the years, the Ling family has been in a stormy situation in the ancient martial world.
With internal and external troubles, the situation was difficult.
There were indeed many other direct descendants of the Ling Family who coveted the position of family head.
Apart from Ling Dongqing, there were at least three others, and they were not weak.
Again, because the Ling family did not stand in line with any of the great clans, it resulted in resources being withheld at times.
If it wasn’t for Ling Chonglou’s strange and resourceful ways, the Ling family might have been destroyed years ago.
So even though the elders’ group was unhappy with Ling Chonglou’s marriage to Jiang Ping, they did not go along with the other first families and let Ling Chonglou step down.
But now ……
The Grand Elder looked grave.
Ancient medicine was too important.
If the Ling family didn’t have ancient medicine, not to mention squeezing into the ranks of the great families, they would even be out of the top fifty ancient martial arts families.
“I hope that your family will consider this properly.” Steward Fan smiled again, “Three days, in those three days, we leave three ancient doctors for your family.”
He took a step back to make way for open space.
Behind him, two women and a man walked in carrying pillboxes.
“These three, all of them are inner disciples of the Heavenly Doctor Sect, and they are highly skilled in medicine.” Housekeeper Fan was meaningful, “Grand Elder can try them out, they are definitely not comparable to those casual doctors.”
The Grand Elder didn’t say anything.
He didn’t need to try, he knew that the medical skills of the inner disciples of the Heavenly Doctor Sect were not comparable to those of ordinary ancient doctors.
Many ancient medical secrets were only available to the Heavenly Doctor Sect.
In particular, the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, no more than ten people in the ancient medicine world knew them.
It was only after a long period of silence that the Eldest Elder spoke, “Fine, but it will take some time to change the family head, and the Ling family as well.”
Housekeeper Fan wasn’t surprised by this answer.
Only medium-sized and above ancient martial families had an elder group, and the elder group had to defend the whole family, not just one person.
“Then the Fan Family will wait for good news from your family, from now on, we will be allies.”
The Fan Steward finished speaking and left.
The Grand Elder’s expression was cold.
He said he was an ally, but in the end, he was just an affiliate.
His entire person aged a few degrees and waved his hand, “Go and call the Elders’ Group, Chonglou, and a few other first families, come together for a meeting.”
**
The other side.
The imperial capital.
Ying Zigui and Fu Yunshen came out of the shopping mall.
Jiang Yan followed behind, carrying a large bag.
After getting into the car, he finally remembered something, tsked and called Xiu Yu.
The last time they had met was at a cla*s reunion during the winter holidays.
“Yo, who’s this, after becoming the head of the family, it’s really different.” Jiang Yan hung back, “Does it feel good to be the head of the family? You don’t know, when you were the head of the family, our father took me flying.”
“Jealous? I know you’re jealous, say it and I won’t laugh at you.”
“Oh-” Xiu Yu was at peace, “We are different, my father even took me crazy in o continent, you are not aware that my father hired ibi for me to mess up a family.”
Jiang Yan: “……”
f*ck.
Ever since he was a kid, he’d never said Xiu Yu.
Jiang Gas had to hang up the phone.
He gritted his teeth, “Ying Dad, I’m going to O Chau.”
On the pa*senger side, Ying Ziyi looked back: “What are you doing going to O Chau?”
Jiang Yan was righteous: “I want you to cover me and take me crazy.”
Ying Zidian: “……”
Sick, and not lightly.
“I’ll take you to O Chau, right? How about it?” Fu Yunshen turned the steering wheel, “I’ll cover you and take you crazy?”
Jiang Yan: “…… that or not.”
He was afraid that he wouldn’t return once he went this way.
“Why.” Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “Both are father, still thicker than each other? I’m jealous.”
“You’re different.” Jiang Yan wrapped his jacket tighter and muttered, “You’re too different in front and behind, I’m afraid of you.”
A flirtatious dude known to everyone in Shanghai City had suddenly become the president of the venus group.
An outsider with no background as determined by the ancient martial arts community suddenly becomes the shadow of the Hall of Justice.
Who’s mental capacity could resist this?
“Speaking of o continent, there’s a presentation at the venus group in June, I need to go there in person.” The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular ones. I haven’t had much fun the last few times.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes dropped and she was silent for a moment, “Go.”
For some reason, she had an extremely strong sixth sense.
She had to make a trip to O Chau in the near future.
When Jiang Yan heard this, she was immediately motivated: “Then I’ll go along too.”
Fu Yunshen looked straight ahead at the road and lifted his eyes, “What are you going for? Light bulb.”
Jiang Yan: “……”
Ying’s hand was propped up on his head as he took a call.
Fu Shi was now able to use a range of apps like WeChat well.
Her hit was still a video call, “Master, the Dan Alliance’s elders group asked if you wanted to be the alliance leader.”
On that day, after the Dan Alliance’s master, Qiu Man, had killed himself, the Dan Alliance had also come under a major purge.
A thousand evil doctors had been uncovered from the Dan Alliance’s middle and senior ranks and core members alone.
When the position of the Dan League’s leader became vacant, the Elders naturally thought of Ying Zigui.
Ying Zidian looked slightly paused: “Do you see me as someone who likes to be a leader?”
As she said this, she glanced at Jiang Yan in the back seat and pressed her head.
What a nuisance.
Reminded her of Cesar back in the eighteenth century.
Quite annoying and wanted to kick it away.
Fushi: “……”
Also.
“Then I’ll return them.” Fushi said, “If Master has any orders, just mention them, the ancient doctors under my command will be honored by Master. ”
The great worry of the evil doctors had been uprooted, and the danger that had shrouded the ancient medicine community for almost a hundred years had finally dispersed.
The ancient doctors were also relieved.
No one in the ancient medical community disagrees with Ying Zidian now.
Ying Zigui nodded slightly: “It’s been hard work, and you shouldn’t get tired.”
Fu Shi hesitated for a moment and sent a screenshot over: “Master, can you teach me how to download this emoticon? ”
“……”
“My father has taken on a disciple?” Jiang Yan’s ears twitched and he leaned forward, “Fu dad, when? Who is it?”
“Fu Shi, that old ancestor of the Fu family, also the first ancient doctor, as for when, I counted-” Fu Yun Shen pondered a little, thoughtful, “more than two hundred years ago?”
Jiang Yan: “???”
**
All along the way, Jiang Yan was in a state of cracking up.
It caused him to be somewhat unable to look straight at Ying Zigui.
When he returned to the Ling family, Jiang Yan found that the atmosphere in the house was a little different.
Jiang Ping and Ling Chonglou were sitting at the table, looking grave, and upon seeing Jiang Yan, they turned back together
“Dad, Mum.” When he saw this, Jiang Ren remembered his childhood and subconsciously spoke, “I’m not greedy, I didn’t fight, I didn’t do it.”
“Who said anything about you?” Jiang Ping was helpless, “But there are some things that mum needs to tell you.”
She was just about to speak when she realised that Ying Ziji and Fu Yunshen had followed her in.
Jiang Ping gave her words a beat, but recounted the internal meeting of the Ling family this morning.
“The Fan family?” Fu Yunshen stuck one hand in his pocket, “Which one is the Fan family?”
“The big family ranked seventh in the ancient martial world.” Jiang Yan clenched his fist, “It’s the one that the Qiao family is backing, it must be the Qiao family that’s up to no good again.”
The Ling family’s combined strength just squeezed into the top fifty in the Ancient Martial World.
“The Fan Family ordered those casual doctors not to have any cooperation with the Ling Family?” After hearing this, Ying Ziji understood, “Unless Uncle Ling stepped down as head of the family?”
“Yes, and they will also send ancient doctors from the Heavenly Doctor Sect into the Ling Family.” Ling Chonglou smiled easily, “I can’t see that I’m quite important.”
It was fine to step down as the family head, he didn’t care that much about the family head position in the first place.
But it was true that, as Family Head Qiao had said, without the position of family head, he couldn’t protect Jiang Ping and Jiang Yan.
Ying Zidian nodded slightly: “Uncle Ling, there are still funds left, right?”
Ling Chonglou didn’t understand why the girl asked, but he answered anyway, “Yes, I have a few companies in the imperial capital, one of which was listed abroad a while ago, and the capital is not as good as the Mu family’s Nie family, but it’s not bad.”
He paused and added, “I thought about it, the big deal is that Xiaohua and I will move to the imperial capital, but this brat is still in the Hall of Justice, in the middle of exercise, D**key, please look after it.”
Ying Zidian’s hand paused, “Uncle Ling has decided?”
She also only knew Ling Chonglou’s line in the Ling family, as well as Ling Mianxi’s mother and daughter.
The others, they had nothing to do with her.
Ying never thought that she was a saviour, that she could go and help anyone.
Ling Chonglou was silent for a moment, sighed long and whispered, “I’m just ashamed of the old ancestor, the Ling family is going to fall and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
The old ancestor who started the Ling family had pa*sed away.
He had received teachings from this old ancestor when he was a child.
He saw that the Ling Family was going to become a va*sal of the Fan Family, but there was nothing he could do.
“Good, inform the elder group that the ancient doctors are there, top of the line.” Ying Ziji pressed a series of numbers, his voice calm, “Before you helped me, now I’ll help the Ling Family become a big family and enter the top ten in the ancient martial world.”
Chapter 618
“……”
At these words, the room was silent.
Ling Chonglou and Jiang Ping looked at each other, both a little shocked.
Letting the Ling Family enter the top ten in the Ancient Martial World?
Right now, the Ling Family wasn’t even a big family, how could they enter the top ten?
Ying Zidian’s phone had already been dialed.
On the other end was none other than Fu Shi: “Master.”
Ying Zigui paused, “There’s something, I need you to transfer fifty ancient doctors from the Ancient Martial World to the Ling Family in the Ancient Martial World.”
“Any from the Fu family and the Heavenly Doctor Sect will do, the Ling family will include food and accommodation, and their salaries will be paid down at the market rate.”
Of course, ancient doctors couldn’t work for nothing, they needed to be paid as well.
However, if the families of the ancient martial world wanted to hire the ancient doctors of the Fu, Meng and An families as well as the Heavenly Doctor Sect, just having money was not enough.
It also requires status and power.
That was why there was no way for medium-sized families in the ancient martial world to have access to the ancient doctors in these four powers.
“The Ling family?” Fu Shi thought for a moment, “Good, Master, I’ll let that boy Fu Shen lead the team, it just so happens that he also needs to go to the Ancient Martial World for some experience.”
Sleeping all day long and calling it a beautiful way to improve his internal energy, she wanted to kick out just by looking at it.
“Uncle Ling, are fifty ancient doctors enough?” Ying Ziji ended the call and nodded, “If that’s not enough, I’ll call some more dan doctors from the Dan League?”
Hearing these words, even Ling Chonglou was a little dazed and was completely shocked, “…… this is not, not enough?”
The Fan Family was ranked seventh in the Ancient Martial World, and all the Ancient Doctors in the family combined were several hundred.
But among them, those originating from the top forces of the ancient medicine world definitely did not exceed thirty.
Now, Ying Ziji had casually called in fifty of them.
It was as if the entire ancient medicine world could be brought over.
“Not enough?” Ying Ziyi called up the Dan League Grand Elder’s number and was about to dial it.
“No no.” Ling Chonglou stopped it in time and took a deep breath, “I mean, it’s quite enough, and, isn’t it a bit too much?”
It was all about to catch up with Lin, Xie and Yue.
Ying Zigui raised an eyebrow, “Not much, big family, the configuration can’t be worse.”
Ling Chonglou couldn’t say anything, his eyes were burning.
It was also at this time that they really realised how high Ying Zigui’s status was in the ancient medical community.
“D**key, you’ve really helped the Ling family too much.” Ling Chonglou deliberated for a long time, “What do you need? The Ling family will definitely get it done for you.”
Ying Zigui thought for a moment, “I don’t lack anything, but there is one thing.”
Ling Chonglou looked grave, “Tell me, as long as I can do it.”
“Uncle Ling, you can put him in confinement for a while.” Ying Zigui pointed at Jiang Yan who was on the side, “It’s a bit annoying.”
Ling Chonglou made an immediate decision, “Yes, no problem.”
Jiang Yan: “???”
Why was he always the one who got hurt?
Now that the ancient doctor was available, Ling Chonglou went to prepare the funds and the contract.
Jiang Ping walked over to Fu Yunshen and also relaxed a bit: “Liu Ying can see you all today, with such great achievements, I think she will be very happy.”
“I also hope she will be happy every day.” Fu Yun Shen was silent for a moment and smiled, “If I don’t return to the Ancient Martial World for a long time in the future, I’ll trouble Aunt Jiang to sweep my grave for me, she’s all alone, it’s too lonely.”
“Of course, I’ll go even if you don’t say so.” Jiang Ping said, “I really don’t know where she went in those years in the first place, nor do I know where you-”
She didn’t go on, just sighed.
I don’t know with whom Fu Yunshen was born.
Fu Yunshen didn’t say anything, his peach blossom eyes had a cool chill to them.
He had already determined where Fu Liu Ying had gone.
The problem now is that the entrance to that place cannot be found and there is no way to get in.
Fu Yun Shen faintly: “I will avenge her, no matter who did it.”
This was the belief that sustained him and would not change.
**
The third day.
The Ling family held a meeting once again.
“The specifics of what happened were said the day before yesterday.” The Grand Elder knocked on the table and spoke indifferently, “Ancient medicine is a top priority, and for the sake of the Ling Family as a whole, the Elders’ Council has decided to remove Chonglou from the position of family head.”
“In order, the position of family head will be held by Ling Quan, do you all have any objections?”
Ling Quan was overjoyed and immediately spoke, “Thank you, Grand Elder, I will live up to everyone’s expectations and lead the Ling Family to rise to the top!”
The Grand Elder nodded and turned his head, “Chonglou, what about you.”
“I have an objection.” Ling Chonglou said, “The ancient doctor-”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ling Quan, “Yes, the ancient doctor, because of the good deeds you and your son have done, the Ling family can’t even hire an ancient doctor anymore, and you still have an objection? Worthy?”
“If you’re capable, first you get the Fan Family to lift the blockade order and let Doctor Gu come back.”
Ling Quan’s expression was icy cold.
He had long looked at Ling Chonglou with displeasure.
But he would not be as impulsive as Ling Dongqing.
This time, it was the Elders who personally handed over the position of family head to him.
Finally, he could tell Ling Chonglou to get lost, and he had the Fan family to thank for that.
Ling Chonglou laughed coldly: “Who said that the ancient doctor couldn’t come back again? All I’m saying is that I’ve just signed a contract with fifty ancient doctors.”
“Chonglou.” The one who spoke out was the Grand Elder, who frowned, “Don’t be impetuous, if you said five, we could still believe you.”
Fifty?
How was that possible?
“Grand Elder!”
Just then, a guard hurriedly ran in from outside.
He knelt down on one knee, and there was uncontrollable surprise in his voice: “Dozens of ancient doctors have come outside! All of them are going to enter the Ling Family!”
With a single word, everyone in the meeting room was shocked.
Ling Quan was incredulous, “Dozens?”
The Grand Elder froze for a full half minute and immediately got up, “Quickly, invite them in!”
He took the lead and went out to the front hall to greet them.
Ling Quan gritted his teeth and left after him.
Only when he reached the front hall did he realise that what Ling Chonglou had said was true.
Surprisingly, there were really fifty ancient doctors, no less than one.
Moreover, on the clothes of these ancient doctors, there were the words “Fu” and “Tian”.
The Fu Family!
The Heavenly Doctor Sect!
The Grand Elder’s head was spinning.
This was the kind of ancient doctor the Ling Family could hire!
“Master Ling, nice to meet you, I’m Fu Shen.” Fu Shen stepped forward and shook hands with Ling Chonglou, “I don’t lack anything else but a comfortable bed to sleep in, please make my bed softer so I can get a good night’s sleep. ”
Ling Chonglou: “…… definitely.”
The Grand Elder was shocked once again, “You, you are Prince Fu Shen?”
“Yes.” Fu Shen shook his fan, surprised, “Don’t I look like that?”
Jiang Yan looked at the big gold chains and sungla*ses on Fu Shen’s body, “……”
Not like that at all.
And even more like a triad than him.
Fu Shen waved his big hand, “You guys take care of the a*signment, I’m going to rest.”
The Grand Elder was sweating profusely and didn’t know how to answer.
His fingers were trembling from overexcitement.
Ling Quan opened his mouth, “Grand Elder, then my position as family head ……”
The Grand Elder took several breaths before he could barely calm down, “Since Chonglou has invited the ancient doctor, then the family head is still his to be.”
This time, it was absolutely impossible for the Ling Family to change the head of the family again.
Ling Chonglou’s position was completely consolidated.
Although the Grand Elder didn’t know how Ling Chonglou had invited the ancient doctors from the Fu Clan and the Heavenly Doctor Sect.
Ling Chonglou gave Jiang Yan a wink.
Jiang Yan followed Fu Shen and led him to his room.
Fu Shen put away his fan: “By the way, where is Miss Ying?”
Jiang Yan recalled, “Oh, Ying Dad said he was bored and went to the Martial Arts Union to play in the ring.”
“……”
**
This way.
The Martial Arts Union headquarters.
Ying Ziji came down from her last match.
Without taking off her mask, she went to the work desk and registered a fake name, and left the ring arena.
The steward looked at the battle record on the paper and hissed, “This young lady’s fighting ability is really strong, she reported five games and won five games in a row.”
Female ancient martial artists were only one-fifth as strong as their male counterparts, and on average were weaker than men.
There were even fewer female ancient martial artists who came to fight in the ring.
Xie Nian was an exception.
Moreover, Xie Nian was also very brutal in the ring, beating her opponent to death 90% of the time.
But no one could say anything, after all, she was only in life and death matches.
And now, there was another female, and a good one at that, with a clean sweep.
It didn’t look like she belonged to any of the Lin, Xie or Yue families.
Another steward asked, “Should we report this to the young master?”
“There’s no point in reporting it.” The steward shook his head, “It’s obvious that she’s not showing her face and left a false name.”
“We can only wait until the next time she comes to the ring and ask the young master to come and watch.”
After the two men exchanged views, they entered Ying’s results into the file.
Outside the ring arena.
Fu Yunshen was waiting.
When he saw the girl come out, he beckoned, hugged her and then rubbed her head: “Did you have a good time?”
“Not happy, nothing interesting.” Ying yawned, “Not fun to play, not challenging, still more fun to play with you.”
“Girlfriend, give me a break.” Fu Yunshen held up his hand, the faint light in his light amber pupils was misty, with a smile, “I’m really scared.”
Ying Ziji patted his shoulder soothingly, “Boyfriend, don’t be afraid, you also said, I don’t hit faces.”
The face, she still had to see.
“……”
**
The Fan family.
The three days had come and gone, but no news had come from the Ling family.
Getting those casual doctors to suspend their contracts with the Ling Family was just a matter of words to the Fan Family.
As long as the Ling Family became an affiliated family of the Fan Family, the Fan Family would be able to marry Ling Mianxi.
Once they had married Ling Mianxi, they would let her have children in the Fan Family.
The stronger the ancient martial talent of both parents, the better the ancient martial talent the offspring would be able to inherit.
The Fan family head called to the butler who had gone to the Ling family that day: “You didn’t bring the words I asked you to bring? Or did you not ask the Ling family to weigh the pros and cons?”
The steward said, “Your Excellency, I have brought the words.
The steward smiled, “Family head, if the Ling family was tied to any of the major powers in the ancient medicine world, would they still be at their current size? They would definitely be able to become a large family even if they didn’t squeeze into the top ten of the Ancient Martial World.”
“Not bad.” The Fan family head slowly nodded, “It’s really a truth.”
Ancient doctors who knew acupuncture were also able to help ancient martial artists to then develop their body’s potential.
The ancient doctors of the Fu, Meng, An and Heavenly Doctor Sects were not at all on the same level as ordinary ancient doctors.
“Let’s go and take a look at the Ling family.” The Fan family head frowned and stood up, “Let’s see what kind of tricks they are playing, or which of the casual doctors won’t listen to the Fan family and continue to stay with the Ling family.”
The steward respectfully, “Yes, family head.”
The Fan Family was not in the same direction as the Ling Family, and the Ancient Martial World was large.
It was close to evening before the Fan family head arrived at the Ling family in his carriage.
The Ling family did not panic as expected, nor did they raise a large crowd to come out to greet them.
The servants and guards were also working in an orderly manner.
“What does the Ling family mean?” The Fan family head narrowed his eyes, “Two days ago, we said properly that you would change the family head and we would help you hire an ancient doctor.”
“How come by now, you guys are indifferent? Is it true that you think you can still find ancient doctors in the ancient medicine world?”
The Fan family head did not feel anything wrong at all.
In the Ancient Martial World, there were hundreds of medium-sized clans like the Ling Family.
There was a wide gap between medium-sized families and large families, both in terms of population and combined force.
The Ling Family didn’t even have a backstage, and they still wanted to fight against the Fan Family?
Ling Chonglou smiled lightly, “If your Fan Family can let Doctor Gu go, we naturally have a way to bring him back.”
“You guys? You guys can compete with the Fan Family?” The Fan Clan master turned his head and his gaze fell on Fu Shen, “This is the Ancient Doctor you have rediscovered, where did you come from as a scattered doctor? Didn’t you receive any orders from my Fan Family?”
Jiang Yan froze, turned his head, and asked, “He doesn’t know you?”
Fu Shen’s name, that too, was renowned in the ancient martial world.
“It’s not like any family in the Ancient Martial World can see me.” Fu Shen rubbed his chin, “My portrait is expensive and not everyone can buy it, I’m not interested in being like Meng Qingxue, whose portrait is treasured by every noble family’s son.”
Jiang Yan nodded his head.
That was true.
“I’ll give you a minute.” The Fan family master glanced at Fu Shen, “Leave the Ling family, and if you can’t find a family you can join, come to the Fan family, and the Fan family will pay you ten times as much.”
Fu Shen looked chilled and before he could reply, there was a cold slow voice ringing out.
The girl wrapped her arms around her and stood in the doorway with a slight sideways glance, “The way I see it, it’s the Fan family that can do without asking for an ancient doctor.”
