64: Chapter 64 Ling Lifeng: It's so satisfying to use inspirational words to fool ordinary people.
"Maternal Uncle, that kid you just mentioned... it couldn't be Chen Qi, could it?" Yun Zhuo asked tentatively.
Ling Lifeng said irritably, "Who else could it be? I didn't expect us to be schemed against by that kid Chen Qi this time. So if you want your two hundred million, go ask him for it yourself. I don't have a single cent right now."
"Maternal Uncle, are you sure we were all schemed against by that kid this time?"
As expected, none of the descendants of those great Families who could survive until now were simple characters.
"Nonsense. The moment you left, he went in and drove away a truck. Others might not be able to fit fifty billion corrosion crystals into one container, but his Chen Family certainly can.
Most importantly, his father is the successor to the next head of the Chen Family, the Crown Prince of the Chen Family, making him the Imperial Grandson.
It would be as easy as turning over his hand for him to make the elites from the Main Family under Chen Kun's command obey him.
It's even more likely that the fifty billion wasn't transported to the Temple of the God of Wealth at all, but was swapped by him midway."
Hearing Ling Lifeng's analysis, Yun Zhuo felt as if he was also within his calculations, but fortunately, those fifty billion were real.
Otherwise, he would probably be as frantic as Ling Lifeng right now.
After working himself to death all night and so many people dying, he ended up not even getting a single hair in return.
"No, Maternal Uncle, even you guys can't find that guy Chen Qi, so where am I supposed to look for him?"
"It's not that we can't find him, it's that we don't dare to look. But you, kid, will definitely run into him."
"Why?"
"Because the money he plundered this time is enough for him to buy a hundred Heaven Rank War Princesses. Even if you don't go looking for him, he'll come looking for you.
Moreover, that kid attends the Capital Martial Academy. He was originally a year senior to you, but he took a year off, so this year he's in the same grade as you.
So when you see him again, you must never be afraid of him, and even more so, don't be soft-hearted, otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
"Wait a minute." Yun Zhuo found that the logic in Ling Lifeng's words didn't seem to hold up and asked, "It's true he's from the Capital Martial Academy, but I'm not. There's more than one top-tier martial academy, so do I have to go to the Capital?"
Ling Lifeng smiled slightly. "You weren't before, kid, but you are now."
"How do you know?"
"Haven't you already started calling my sister 'Mom'? If you truly gain her recognition, then you'll have no choice but to go to the Capital, and it'll even be through a Recommended Admission."
"She says I'm recommended and I'm recommended? Does she own the Capital Martial Academy?"
"Exactly, you really hit the nail on the head." Ling Lifeng's tone suddenly became grim. "At this point, I might as well tell you the truth.
The so-called Federation is merely a forced alliance of the Twelve Families due to the existence of Mutated Beasts.
Although the Capital Martial Academy belongs to the Elder Council, the twelve Elders of the council belong to the Twelve Families, and the Su Family is one of them.
Do you know how big the gap between you and Little Yuan is now?
Besides, is it really that hard for my sister to get someone a Recommended Admission into the Capital Martial Academy?"
"It really doesn't seem that hard."
Seeing Yun Zhuo's discouraged look, Ling Lifeng felt quite satisfied. Being happy, he didn't mind giving him another piece of advice.
"Kid, since I owe you two hundred million, I'll give you another word of advice.
The Capital Martial Academy was the first martial academy established by the Twelve Families after their alliance, and it's also the last.
Because there are twelve principals balancing each other, their control over it is relatively the weakest.
Therefore, it's also the place where all kinds of geniuses love to go, and it's the best place to see a person's true ability.
So, if you don't want to be a Live-in Son-in-law for the Su Family, then go all out and transform from someone who can only rely on them into a partner they can cooperate with."
With a smile in his eyes, Ling Lifeng felt that using such inspirational words to trick a grassroots kid like Yun Zhuo was incredibly satisfying.
He seemed to have already foreseen that when this kid huffed and puffed his way up, thinking he had reached the summit, he would look up and see that, damn it, he hadn't even reached the foot of the other person's mountain.
At that time, the expression on the kid's face would be so full of despair.
"Maternal Uncle, you came all this way just to tell me this?" If that was really the case, Yun Zhuo would have to cooperate and act moved no matter what, otherwise, wouldn't it be too disheartening?
Ling Lifeng slapped his forehead, only then remembering that he had received a notice from his older sister to come find her.
"Oops, I got distracted by you and actually forgot the main business."
After saying that, he ran off as if his pants were on fire.
Once he left, Yun Zhuo eagerly went to find Teacher Su.
After searching around and not finding her, he finally returned to the place where he had been waiting for her before.
Hey! Teacher Su really was here.
As soon as Teacher Su saw Yun Zhuo, she immediately came forward, embracing him and saying, "Where did you go? I thought you ran away!"
"How could I? Wasn't I pulled away by Maternal Uncle for a chat?"
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
"Wherever you go, I'll go."
"Does that mean Mom has already agreed to us being together?"
"No, but she gave us a three-year trial period. However, regardless of whether they approve of you in three years, I've decided to fly far away with you."
Hearing this warmed Yun Zhuo's heart. He stroked her cheek with his thumb, dropped his usual playful smile, and said seriously, "I promise you, it won't take three years; I will definitely make them see me in a new light!"
"I know." Teacher Su wrapped her arms around his, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said, "But I don't want to go back."
"Why? That's your own mother."
"I don't know why, but I just don't want to go back. If there's a chance in the future, you should take me away. Anywhere is fine, as long as we don't return to Tianting City."
"Is your Family not good to you?"
Teacher Su thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say if it's good or bad. Before I was five, I was weak and sickly, and I always lived in a Sanatorium with Aunt Qiu.
I was only brought back home after Aunt Qiu passed away, and I rarely saw my parents.
However, my sister was very good to me and was always looking for primal spirit stones for me, hoping to help me change my fate to be Heaven-Defying.
But those things are not so easy to find, so I rarely saw her either."
"I just heard Ling Lifeng say that your Family is one of the Twelve Families. Would such a top-tier noble clan not have spirit origin stones?"
"Maybe they just didn't think I was worth using them on. But thinking about it now, it's lucky they didn't give me spirit origin stones, or I wouldn't have met you."
As she spoke, Teacher Su tightened her hold on Yun Zhuo's arm, pressing herself closer.
...
Small garden.
Ling Xiangjun watched the backs of the two as they gradually disappeared down the tree-lined path, her brow furrowing unconsciously.
She felt that Su Qingyuan hadn't told her the truth just now. If she could lie for that kid today, she could break free from her control tomorrow.
But fortunately, she had managed to get part of the truth out. That kid Xiao Zhuo...
Bah! At the thought of actually calling that kid Xiao Zhuo, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Forget it, that kid's Taming Mastery can indeed develop the potential of a War Princess.
Discovering this kid made this trip not a complete waste.
"Sister, you were looking for me?"
"Go and investigate Little... Little Yuan's War Spirit Master in great detail for me."
When Ling Lifeng heard that he was called for this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, there's nothing much to investigate. I checked long ago. You remember that beast tide in Dawn City eighteen years ago, right? That kid's mother was a refugee who came at that time.
His father was a soldier in the Federation's Fifth Legion, but he died in the beast tide while covering his mother's entry into the city.
His mother was seriously injured; she barely lasted a year after giving birth to him before she also died.
That kid has lived until now by relying on Military Pensions.
There's absolutely no problem if you want to recruit him as a Live-in Son-in-law."
"Are you sure?"
