Chapter 197: Imparting teachings, The path of the heart

Tang Meng stood there dazed for a moment as he thought to himself,This Tie Xiaohu can be quite a bad guy when he wants to be! To think that the matter which I was having trouble with would be simplified by him to this extent!

Tang Meng followed that up by saying, "Anyways, the method in which we go about this matter is not up to me. It has to have Boss's seal of approval first."

Tang Meng knew that Ling Yun was no longer interested in the monetary aspect of this gamble. Rather, Ling Yun was hell-bent on ensuring that Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan would suffer great losses.

Ling Yun knew that letting the two of them run loose in his vicinity would only bring him displeasure and trouble in the future.

Tie Xiaohu nodded in agreement. He then asked Tang Meng, "So, about Boss's plan to open the clinic... What do you intend to do about it?"

Tang Meng laughed. "The clinic? All we can do is act as the laborers. All the planning and arrangements will be left to Yao Rou."

After Ling Yun had spoken to Tang Meng previously, the latter had undergone a drastic change to become completely subservient. Tang Meng dared not step out of line in Ling Yun's presence anymore.

Tie Xiaohu had known Yao Rou for longer than Tang Meng had. When he thought about how Yao Rou had looked at Ling Yun previously, he could not help but smile to himself.

He then told Tang Meng, "Alright, since she's in charge this time, we'll follow her orders then. That saves us the worry of planning it ourselves."

As the two were speaking, Tang Meng received a text message from Ling Yun. "I'm doing self-revision tonight. You don't need to wait for me. Go and settle your own business!"

After reading the message, Tang Meng asked Tie Xiaohu, "Hey, how about we go and look for Yao Rou after we're done eating? That'll keep us up to date on tomorrow's plans..."

Tie Xiaohu shook his head and answered, "I'm not going. I've got something on tonight. If you want to go, you can go ahead by yourself. If there are any new developments, you can update me tomorrow and I'll follow up with them."

The night sky looked perfect as stars filled the horizon. Tie Xiaohu was not going to let this perfect opportunity to train go to waste.

Tang Meng shook his head and hastily replied, "Come on, ol' Tie! Are you going to leave a brother alone? If Yao Rou and I were to be alone together, how awkward would it be?"

In Tang Meng's eyes, Yao Rou and Ling Yun had a rather intimate relationship. If he were to visit Yao Rou by himself at night, it would seem like he had a personal agenda...

Tie Xiaohu, clearly entertained, chuckled. "Then just wait until tomorrow! We'll discuss everything tomorrow! Just know that I'm not going tonight no matter what."

Tang Meng relented and decided to drop the plan of visiting Yao Rou alone at night. It was not as if he had nothing else to do that night anyway. He still had to look for Li Qingchuan. Saving Ling Yun forty million dollars was not something that could be easily settled!

At Ling Yun's rental apartment.

After Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei had finished their meal, the both of them proceeded to tidy up the place. Xiao Meimei then commented, "I didn't expect your cooking to be so tasty..."

As the two ladies had spent a whole afternoon shopping together, their relationship had gotten much better and closer.

If Xiao Meimei had not appeared with the identity of a killer, she would basically be a perfect woman. She did not come off as cold or hard to get along with.

Zhuang Meifeng gave her a small smile and answered, "Thanks... Actually, if you ask me, my cooking standard is just about average. Aside from researching financial indexes, I like to cook for myself in my spare time."

Xiao Meimei cheekily laughed. "Then you had better research on how to make even more delicious food in the future! The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!"

Zhuang Meifeng blushed and said, "I keep thinking Ling Yun is out of my league... I'm scared..."

Xiao Meimei knew Zhuang Meifeng was filled with worry. She gave Zhuang Meifeng a thoughtful look and said, "What's there to be scared of?"

Zhuang Mei Feng hesitantly said, "I'm afraid I can't keep hold of Ling Yun..."

For the past couple of days, Zhuang Meifeng had basically pulled out all the stops. She had even used the methods that she had secretly read up on online to capture Ling Yun's heart. However, he was unfazed by all of them and was adamant about not having sex with her.

This undoubtedly caused her to panic and question herself.

Xiao Meimei suddenly brought her sexy lips near Zhuang Meifeng's ears and whispered, "About what happened between the two of you last night... I heard it all..."

Zhuang Meifeng was shocked. Her face turned beet red as she turned around and exclaimed, "What?! You..."

Zhuang Meifeng had basically gone all out last night. She had spoken words that were only meant for Ling Yun's ears. She had also done actions that were only for Ling Yun's pleasure. However, little did she know that Zhuang Meifeng had overheard her...

Zhuang Meifeng thought to herself.I made sure to lower my volume as much as possible! How could she have heard me?!

There had been over two rooms worth of distance between them!

Xiao Meimei remained calmed and chuckled, "Haha... Between a man and woman, what else could be happening? There's nothing to be embarrassed about. The things you know how to do, I know how to do, and probably even better than you. As for things you don't know how to do, I know how to do them all... What're you getting embarrassed in front of me for?!"

Zhuang Meifeng was definitely not as thick-skinned as Xiao Meimei. Zhuang Meifeng let out a groan before squatting down and curling up.

At that moment, Xiao Meimei saw Zhuang Meifeng's unadulterated charms. She thought to herself.This girl is undoubtedly very attractive! How did Ling Yun manage to resist her charms even though she offered herself to him? It's almost unbelievable...

Xiao Meimei then continued saying, "You already know this, but Ling Yun is someone who trains in martial arts. If Ling Yun is determined not to touch your body, I think he must be training a specific technique which does not allow him to do certain...things...with women. So, you don't need to feel so down."

Xiao Meimei was also a practitioner of martial arts. Although she was not at the level of cultivation, she definitely knew that some secret techniques forbade men from having intercourse with women.

Zhuang Meifeng smiled in relief. She recalled Ling Yun saying that they could touch and feel up each other, but not have sex.

"Then, what am I supposed to do?" Zhuang Meifeng asked shyly.

Xiao Meimei laughed and said, "If that's really the case, all you can do is to wait for him to finish training his technique. There's really no other option at this point."

She then went closer to Zhuang Meifeng and seductively said, "In the meantime, take this chance to master the art of charm. That way, once he's done training, you can use the charm that you've honed on him. At that point, no matter what kind of resistance he puts up, you've got him in the bag."

Zhuang Meifeng hesitated for a bit and looked at Xiao Meimei while asking, "About that... I... Can I really learn it? Will he blame me if I learn the art of charming men from you?"

Xiao Meimei let out a laugh and put her hand on Zhuang Meifeng's ample chest. She then said, "You silly girl... Which man would dislike his woman having different sides and charms to her?"

Feeling Xiao Meimei's touch, Zhuang Meifeng sighed. After thinking about it for a while, she finally set her resolution in stone and said, "All right, I'll learn!"

Inside the Grade 12 Class 6 classroom.

Ling Yun was in the midst of memorizing his History notes. Although he had not attended classes for the past few days, he had already memorized most of the History notes. He was left with this last one, which had about slightly over ten pages.

Not only was he memorizing the history notes, he even made sure to memorize the important points which the teacher had highlighted on some of the History test papers. The analysis which the students and teacher had done in class was also memorized from top to bottom by Ling Yun. He only needed to read everything once to have the image clearly imprinted in his memory.

10095

Ling Yun was so confident in himself that he knew if anyone were to let him attempt a mock paper for History, he would score a minimum of 95 out of 100 points.

Cao Shanshan, on the other hand, could not absorb a single ounce of information from her studying. She was basically living like how Ling Yun had asked Ning Lingyu to live - if she wanted to do work, then she would do it, and if she did not want to do work, then she would not do it.

There were indeed people like that! People who, aside from their interests and hobbies, had no inclination to do other things. People who did not set any fixed expectations on themselves.

Cao Shanshan was simply dazed by Ling Yun's occasional writing on the books and notes he was studying.

She thought to herself.If I were to compare my penmanship-crazed Grandpa's handwriting to Ling Yun's handwriting, whose would be better?

She could not help it. Ling Yun's handwriting was simply too beautiful. Every stroke and line was perfectly placed and proportioned. Such penmanship would let the reader feel extremely comfortable. Simply exquisite!

Cao Shanshan had trained in calligraphy and penmanship before. However, she could not tell what style Ling Yun's handwriting was. However, it was simply beautiful. The strokes were thick and thin in the right places and they all came together to create a handwriting that seemed like an artwork!

Cao Shanshan finding his penmanship weird was something to be sure of. This was because Ling Yun was using his writing to train his swordsmanship!

Ling Yun's training was not limited to his physique tempering and technique training sessions. To him, life itself was training. He made sure every action he did, regardless of how minor, was part of his training!

This was because Ling Yun had once experienced a frightening Tribulation Stage, in which he had been one step away from breaking through and becoming an unrivaled immortal being.

This made him know better than anyone else that training was not simply about raising one's combat and physical capabilities, but rather about paying attention to minor details in one's actions and lifestyle.

What Ling Yun was really training was his heart! Ling Yun's cultivation path was not that of the heavens, but rather the path of the heart. Everything in the universe was based on the heart. It was not based on material objects, heaven, humans or even the mind.

What Ling Yun did not know was whether the calamity during his Tribulation Stage was due to his heart being unworthy. During that time, Heaven and Earth had not allowed him to progress and break through to the next level of power.

In this reincarnation in a different world, he still chose to follow the cultivation path of the heart. He continued to refine his heart and his nature.

Because he followed the cultivation path of the heart, he tried to use various methods to break down Ning Lingyu's surroundings so that she could let go of her worries and afflictions before teaching her how to cultivate her heart. He wanted her to start on a blank slate!

This was why he had purposely acted the way he had outside of Grade 12 Class 1. He wanted to let Ning Lingyu let go of her worries and afflictions in her heart through the shock he stimulated in her. In doing so, he had succeeded in returning her heart to its purest state.

Not only did Ning Lingyu own an innate spiritual body highly suited for cultivation, but she also owned a great ability to comprehend Ling Yun's teachings. This made Ling Yun extremely happy.

"Hey, Ling Yun! The next two periods are our form teacher's English classes! Have you thought of a good explanation for her?"

Cao Shanshan looked at Ling Yun and saw that he did not tidy himself up while revising. She felt rather embarrassed for him at that point. So she took the initiative to bring her head closer to whisper to Ling Yun.

I wore this sexy low cut dress for you to look at, and you have the audacity to not even take a single look?Cao Shanshan angrily thought to herself.

Ling Yun furrowed his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Cao Shanshan's snow white chest. He then said, "Wasn't I on leave? What's there to explain?"
