Chapter 547: Beware

Ling Yun moved the wooden box to his own bedroom. He placed it on the floor beside his study table.

The mahogany bookcase was beside his study table, but Ling Yun wasn't in a hurry to move the books into their new home. He had instead left the box on the floor.

Ling Yun straightened up and turned towards the leather sofa. "Xian Er, are you still playing hide and seek with me?"

Bai Xianer was invisible to ordinary people. However, Ling Yun had his divine sense and Yin-Yang Eye.

"I've been found out by you again! Not fun!"

Bai Xianer deactivated her Invisibility Technique and showcased her perfect figure. She was lying lazily on the sofa and pouting at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun smiled, thinking of bringing the medical books in the rented house over as well.

Ling Yun had moved his books there when he rented the place with Tang Meng. He didn't have the time to read, now would be the time.

"Xian Er, from now on, you will have to learn to read and write," Ling Yun told Xian Er seriously.

Ling Yun couldn't always be with Bai Xianer. She might be strong, but she had to have certain knowledge to survive independently in this society.

In this age of information, it was impossible to get away from words.

"Oh, Okay." Unwillingness was apparent in Bai Xianer's answer. Ling Yun had repeated this for the umpteenth time.

"But Big Brother Yun, you have to teach me personally!" Xian Er's eyes sparkled as she stated her terms.

"Of course. I won't be able to rest assured if anyone else does it."

Bai Xianer still possessed an innocent soul. Ling Yun didn't want it tainted by weird teachings in books.

Who could he blame if Bai Xianer were to learn the hypocritical ways of humans?

"Big Brother Yun, I would like to go to Ning Er's room to play."

It was love at first sight for both Xue Meining and Bai Xianer. They were very close.

"Sure, don't forget to knock first!" Ling Yun approved.

Bai Xianer gave Ling Yun a wink and dashed out of the room. Ling Yun heard her knocking on their door.

Cries of elation followed!

"Oh! You are... Big Sister Xian Er!"

Xue Meining regained her composure first and hugged Bai Xianer tightly.

Xue Meining was prepared. Ling Yun gave Xue Meining a heads up before he left for the island. She didn't care that Little White was originally a fox. Her breath was just taken away by Little White's beauty.

Miao Xiaomiao was the master of Miaojiang's authentic Art of Gu, which was itself regarded as some form of black magic. She quickly recovered as well.

Ling Yun observed everything from his seat with his divine sense. He smiled and left the three beauties to their own.

Ling Yun switched his computer on and got onto the Internet. He began searching for all the knowledge he required.

Xue Meining had finally finished unpacking her stuff after an hour. She went to Ling Yun's room with her arms linked with Xian Er's. They were hungry.

Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng came back coincidentally. Ling Yun waited until they unloaded all the stuff before they climbed into the car. They fetched Yao Rou on the way to the Shangri-La Hotel.

The seven of them enjoyed a scrumptious meal for two hours. By then, the self-study period in Qingshui High was about to end.

"Ning Er, you three head back to Mansion Number One. Rest early if there's nothing urgent. Don't skip school tomorrow."

"Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, send Sister Rou back to Nancui Gardens. Don't go back to the clinic tonight."

"Xian Er, you have to stay in Mansion Number One tonight and protect them. Burn anyone who dares barge in to ashes!" Ling Yun used telepathy to advise Xian Er separately.

Anyone from Japanese ninjas to members of the Devil Sect could come at any time. Ling Yun had to be careful.

Bai Xianer's absolute strength was much higher than Ling Yun. No one could harm Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao if she was there. Moreover, Miao Xiaomiao herself was a master. There should be no problems.

"Big Brother Yun, where are you going then?"

Xue Meining couldn't help but ask.

"I'll head to school to settle something. I'll be home soon," Ling Yun answered.

...

Ling Yun drove the Land Rover to Qingshui High. He sent Zhang Ling a text and napped while he waited for her to finish school.

The bell finally rang. The empty school suddenly came to life as students poured out.

Qingshui High, Grade 12 Class 6.

Zhang Ling blushed like a ripe red apple.

She had hailed a taxi home immediately after receiving Ling Yun's text in the afternoon. Zhang Ling tore her wardrobe apart to find the perfect outfit and carefully put on some light makeup. She then rushed back to school, almost being late.

Zhang Ling always felt a sense of self-consciousness around Ling Yun.

She felt that she didn't deserve Ling Yun.

However, she was still very eager to see him. Every second with him was filled with sugary sweetness.

"Hey, what do you think of my outfit, is it okay?" Zhang Ling asked her friend nervously.

"How many times do I have to tell you? You're beautiful, ten times more beautiful than usual, alright!" her friend replied, green with envy.

Honestly, Zhang Ling was one of the outstanding beauties in class. Previously she was eclipsed by the most beautiful girl in school — Cao Shanshan.

She was the most beautiful girl in Grade 12 Class 6 now that Cao Shanshan, Miao Xiaomiao, and Long Wu weren't present. However, her insecurity made the other girls feel as though she was flaunting her superiority.

"Ooi, Zhang Ling, why did you dress so skimpily today? Who are you meeting?" the same friend asked curiously.

"Don't talk nonsense! I... I'm not meeting anyone, I'm going home straight after school..." Zhang Ling replied guiltily. She grabbed her bag with one hand and used the other to pull her skirt down. She escaped from the classroom at sonic speed since she didn't want Ling Yun to wait too long.

She also didn't want to eat into their precious time together. That would be the biggest loss for Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling sprinted towards the boy she had been missing day and night, her whole body exuding a youthful radiance.

Zhang Ling detected the white Land Rover at the west side of the entrance. She calmed herself down slightly before rushing there.

The window was rolled down. Ling Yun gave Zhang Ling a handsome grin. "Why did you rush? Get in!" he said gently.

Zhang Ling fumbled her way into the car. Ling Yun drove away immediately once she was seated.

"Ling Yun, I told my mom that I would be staying a bit longer in school and that I would... would get home a bit later."

Zhang Ling took some time to catch her breath. She reminded this "idiot" after realizing that he was heading down Qingxi Road.

"Hehe, who said I'm going to send you home?" Ling Yun gave Zhang Ling a cheeky smirk. "I'm bringing you to Qingshui Lake."

A huge stone landed in Zhang Ling's heart. However, it started to thump loudly again after seeing Ling Yun's bad-boy aura.

"Didn't I tell you not to wear low-cut shirts? And why is your skirt still so short?" Ling Yun chided Zhang Ling as he drove on.

"Idiot, why do you care?"

Zhang Ling bit her red lips. One hand was covering her two-inch deep cleavage, while the other hand desperately pressed her rose-red skirt down.
