Chapter 642: Lingyu’s Secret

Ling Yun saved Chi Xiaoqing because it was the right thing to do. He didn’t think much of it.

He walked to his table under a spotlight and hovered over his seat. He wondered where Zhuang Meina would be seated.

That wasn’t important now. Ling Yun’s divine sense covered every inch of this classroom and also the walkway outside of the classroom.

Chi Xiaoqing thanked him once again before she left. Ling Yun smiled and wished her all the best before throwing the whole incident to the back of his mind.

Their tasks today were done since they knew where their exam venues were. Ling Yun also got Tie Xiaohu to send the frightened Chi Xiaoqing back. He, on the other hand, left Fifth High with Ning Er, Tang Meng, and Ning Lingyu.

Ling Yun returned to Mansion Number One in no time. There were plenty of people there now. Lin Menghan, Long Wu, and Yao Rou all came to cheer Ling Yun on knowing he was going for his exams tomorrow.

Ling Yun decided not to cultivate today. He brought everyone, including Bai Xianer, who had been cultivating like a maniac, to Shangri-La Hotel and ordered a table full of dishes.

The day passed joyfully.

On the first day of college entrance examinations, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng arrived at Mansion Number One early to fetch Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu. This time, Qin Dongxue tagged along.

It was hotter than yesterday. The sun was like an oversized fireball, spraying a blazing flame and roasting the earth. The heatwave scalded everyone, baking them as though they were in a sauna

Tang Meng took Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu straight to the building they were taking their exams.

Everyone got out of the car. At that point, Qin Dongxue started to nag like any other parent. “Score well since you’re going to take the exam anyway. Don’t disappoint my big sister, understand?”

“Aunty, rest assured. I promise to get the highest score in today’s exam…” Ling Yun joked. It was one of the rare times Qin Dongxue was so serious.

“Sure! You’re the biggest today. Get the number one position in the whole of China…” Fairy Qin smiled radiantly in her white shirt and skirt.

“There’s some difficulty, but I can try…” Ling Yun feigned humility.

He noticed Cui Lao in the distance as he was talking to Qin Dongxue. He knew that Cui Lao was worried about him and assured him that all would be well via telepathy.

The young master of the Ling Family attending college entrance examinations wasn’t a small matter. How could Cui Lao leave?

Cui Lao was determined, so Ling Yun didn’t try to persuade him anymore. He simply nodded to Cui Lao and left with Ning Lingyu.

It wasn’t just Cui Lao. Many people wanted to accompany Ling Yun in his exam today. However, Ling Yun rejected all of them since he didn’t want to make trouble for them. He still had many things to do after the exam.

“Lingyu, will the temperature today affect your performance?” Ling Yun asked.

Ning Lingyu shook her head. “I don’t feel hot, perhaps it’s because I’m cultivating the Stellar Condensation Technique…”

“You’ve reached the fifth minor realm, so this temperature shouldn’t affect you.” Ling Yun smiled.

Ning Lingyu’s pace of cultivation was simply terrifying. She used only half a month to get to the fifth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. She was already in the same realm as Qin Dongxue!

That didn’t hinder her progress in the Omnipotent Water Control Technique either. She would be able to breakthrough to Houtian Realm Level Five at any time!

Having an immortal spiritual body was a huge advantage to her, but her pace was also because she had a superb sense of understanding.

Both of them walked to the same floor and were about to step into their individual test venues.

Ning Lingyu suddenly stopped in her tracks and bit her lip. “Big Brother, I know the college entrance examinations mean nothing to you, but… can you do your best for mom and me?”

Ling Yun laughed. “Of course, if not, wouldn’t I have wasted the past two weeks? Lingyu, don’t worry, Big Brother will do his best!”

Ling Yun gave it some thought. “Why don’t we hold a mini-competition? Let’s see whether you, who has always been the top in school, or me, top from the bottom, can get better results!”

Ning Lingyu was excited by the proposal. “Sure, then… what happens to the losing party?”

Ling Yun didn’t account for a gambling aspect. He scratched his head to find a worthy stake. “Erm… How about the person with the lower overall score has to tell the other party his or her greatest secret?”

Ling Yun’s identity as a descendant of the Ling Family couldn’t be divulged now. He planned to tell Ning Lingyu this piece of news after he met with his grandpa in Beijing.

Who knew that Ning Lingyu’s face would become so red instantly? Her heartbeat was like a drum, and her breathing heavy.

What was Ning Lingyu’s biggest secret?

“Lingyu, what happened?” Ling Yun asked worriedly, thinking that Ning Lingyu was perhaps not feeling well.

“I’m fine… Um, alright, Big Brother, you have to keep your word!” Ning Lingyu said shyly, not daring to lift her head.

Ling Yun smiled and rubbed Ning Lingyu’s nose. “Of course, the game is on!”

Ling Yun sent Lingyu to her venue before heading to his own.

“Ling Yun!”

Zhuang Meina was there as well. She noticed Ling Yun early on but didn’t disturb him when she saw him talking to Ning Lingyu.

“Hehe, I’m so lucky to be able to take the college entrance examinations in the same venue as my sister-in-law…” Ling Yun jested.

“I said before, my big sister hasn’t married you yet, I’m not your sister-in-law!” Zhuang Meina protested immediately.

Zhuang Meina was actually feeling very sweet. Ling Yun hadn’t deliberately rejected her since the opening of his clinic. Their relationship didn’t improve, but it didn’t worsen. That was satisfying to Zhuang Meina.

Actually, Zhuang Meina underestimated Ling Yun’s generosity and Zhuang Meifeng’s position in Ling Yun’s heart.

Ling Yun was a cultivator and a man first and foremost. He wouldn’t hold trivial grudges against a little girl 18 years of age.

Also, Zhuang Meifeng was taken away by the Tranquil Sect for Ling Yun’s sake. Ling Yun wouldn’t be so cruel as to totally ignore the Zhuang Family.

“Your big sister will eventually marry me…” Ling Yun’s expression turned serious as his thoughts turned to Zhuang Meifeng.

Zhuang Meina ignored Ling Yun’s last sentence and gazed at Ling Yun. “Ling Yun, how much confidence do you have to get into Yanjing University? Y-You dared to gamble a hundred million yuan on it!”

Zhuang Meina was referring to the bet Ling Yun placed with Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa. She was desperate to get on Ling Yun’s good side and didn’t dare mention Xie Junyan’s name.

“One hundred percent! Right, if you’re willing to call me brother-in-law now, I’ll tell you the answers to mandarin, mathematics, and foreign language if you don’t know how to do them. How about it?”

Zhuang Meina was in the science stream. She had been working hard on her mathematics, physics, and chemistry for the past three years to rival Ning Lingyu. She was great in all three areas, but her shortcomings were in mandarin and foreign language.

Zhuang Meina nearly blew her top again as Ling Yun tried to get her to call him brother-in-law. However, she stopped and gave it some thought. “Big Brother, you have a way to cheat?” She eyed him suspiciously.

“Of course…” Ling Yun blinked.

“I don’t believe you!” Zhuang Meina replied.

“Give it some thought before you make a decision. There will only be benefits to you…” Ling Yun smiled.

Zhuang Meina thought back to Ling Yun’s miraculous acts at Qingshui Wharf, then she thought about Ling Yun’s magical medical skills when he opened his clinic…

Big Sister believed in him, so… how can I be any different? Zhuang Meina decided.

She might have decided, but that didn’t stop her face from turning red. She checked around and was satisfied only when she saw most of the other students busy reviewing their notes. “Brother-in-law…” she said in a low voice.

It was such fun teasing his sister-in-law. Ling Yun laughed and answered her, saying, “Do what you can and give me a secret sign for those you don’t know. Right, which row are you in?”

Zhuang Meina was feeling wonderful, as though she was enjoying her current state with Ling Yun. “The third row from the front, second table on the left.”

She’s in front of me, that’s convenient, Ling Yun thought. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you even if its composition.”

Ling Yun had memorized tens of thousands of essays. He had it all under control.

“Also, you don’t need to tackle the listening part of English. Just concentrate on the questions at the back. I’ll tell you the answers to that…”

Hearing Zhuang Meina call him brother-in-law made him exuberant. He decided to help her all the way.

“Brother-in-law, how are you going to tell me the answers?” Zhuang Meina asked bewilderedly.

“Telepathy!” Ling Yun said secretly

Zhuang Meina was shocked, but the invigilator told the candidates to enter the classroom just then. They could only shuffle in.

Ling Yun saw Chi Xiaoqing from yesterday. She might be dressed plainly, but she was very beautiful, even prettier than Yao Rou.

Each candidate held their admission ticket and entered. Some were calm, some were nervous, some were excited.

Ling Yun was very calm. He was the last to enter, but he was stopped by the invigilator just as he was about to enter.

“Wait a minute…
