Ling Estate Inner courtyard.
I saw Ling Yun half lying on a soft chair, holding a book of practice journals in his hand and flipping through it. From time to time, he opened his mouth to swallow the fruit peeled by the maid Xiao Lu next to him. He looked so leisurely.
After flipping through a few pages, Ling Yun suddenly sighed.
"This guy named Meng Wu, although his strength is not too high, his understanding of the journey of a warrior is quite solid."
Even he felt that he had benefited a lot from some of the experiences mentioned in the book.
If I have the chance, I really want to have a discussion with this guy.
After all, along the way, his strength improved too quickly, and he lost the opportunity to see the scenery along the way.
Perhaps, this can be regarded as a pity.
Although Xiao Lu on the side didn't understand, he nodded his head in agreement.
"Master Ling, Zhang Mu has something to report."
At this moment, the voice of Zhang Mu sounded outside the hospital.
"Come in." Ling Yun said softly.
Along with the sound of footsteps, Zhang Mu was seen walking in quickly with two huge dark circles under his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing Ling Yun's questioning voice, Zhang Mu did not dare to delay and took out a piece of paper full of handwriting from his arms.
"Master Ling, the merging of the three major gangs' territories has been basically completed. This is a list that was compiled overnight. Please take a look at it, Master Ling."
"Oh?"
Ling Yun looked a little interested.
He casually put the miscellaneous notes in his hand aside, took the paper and glanced at it, with a gleam in his eyes.
Although the paper is small, it contains detailed records of most of the gray industries in the entire Cloud City.
Including but not limited to dozens of gambling houses, restaurants, flower shops, and even some relatively large businesses, all of them are listed above.
The combined monthly income of these large and small industries is hundreds of thousands of taels!
Even if only 10% is allocated to them, it is still tens of thousands of taels.
Ling Yun nodded with satisfaction. In this way, he no longer had to worry about money matters for the time being.
Glancing at Zhang Mu who looked tired in front of him, it was obvious that he had been busy with these things in the past two days.
He couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart, handed the note back, and asked in a calm tone.
"By the way, have you encountered any trouble in the past two days?"
He naturally knew what Ling Yun was asking. He thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Back to Master Ling, things have been going very smoothly these past two days, and no force has come out to stop it."
"It must have been the thunderous strength shown by Master Ling at that time that scared the courage of those guys."
Zhang Mu said, not forgetting to flatter him.
Ling Yun nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and then said.
"In that case, then you don't need to pay attention to them. Just act as if you don't know anything."
"If you have any trouble that can't be solved, you can come to me again."
Zhang Mu responded respectfully, then took out a few books from his arms and handed them over respectfully.
"Master Ling, these are the martial arts techniques recently collected by my subordinates."
Ling Yun glanced at it and then looked away with some lack of interest.
With his current level, this kind of ordinary low-level martial arts is already somewhat disdainful.
Recently, he has been trying to break through the Celestial Origin Realm, but unfortunately it is much more difficult than he imagined. After several attempts, he still has no clue.
Asking Xiao Lu on the side to take it to the study for storage, he asked casually.
"By the way, there's still no news about the internal skills and spiritual martial arts that I asked you to find?"
Upon hearing Ling Yun's question, Zhang Mu immediately lowered his head in shame.
"I disappoint Master Ling."
Ling Yun Although he is a little disappointed, he also knows how rare this kind of special martial arts is.
I didn't blame him at the moment, I just asked him to continue searching carefully.
But counting the time, the inner strength and mental skills that guy Qin Wei promised to me at the beginning should be coming soon.
It seems that I have to find time to meet that guy recently.
Then he glanced at Zhang Mu, who was standing respectfully in front of him, and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
However, Zhang Mu still stood where he was, peeking at him from time to time with a somewhat troubled expression on his face.
Seeing this guy's abnormal behavior, Ling Yun raised his eyebrows, glanced outside, and thoughtfully picked up the miscellaneous notes and read through them again.
"Why, what else do you want?"
Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, he bravely spoke.
"Master Ling, actually, my subordinate came here this time because he has a private matter that he would like to ask Lord Ling's Gang to do."
Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.
"Private matters? I think it's for that guy outside, right?"
With Ling Yun's current perception, as long as he thinks about it, he can clearly hear even the sound of an ant crawling on the ground within a hundred meters!
Being exposed on the spot, Zhang Mu immediately laughed and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I really can't hide anything from Master Ling."
"Okay, let him in." Ling Yun shook his head and didn't care too much.
Zhang Mu's face suddenly became happy, he glanced at Ling Yun gratefully, then turned and shouted outside the hospital, "Brother Li, come in, Master Ling has promised to see you."
As the words fell, Li Tao, dressed in white, was seen slowly walking into the hospital.
Just like when they first met, this guy was still holding a sword in both hands and had a cold face, as if someone owed him a banknote.
But obviously he is not that kind of rigid person. At least in front of Ling Yun, he put away his proud look and bent down to salute.
"Li Tao, I would like to pay my respects to Senior Ling."
Warriors all rely on their strength to speak. Although he is several years older than Ling Yun, there is no problem in calling him a senior at this moment.
Ling Yun nodded lightly. Although he had roughly guessed the purpose of his visit this time, his eyes were still focused on the book in his hand and he asked pretending not to know.
"I heard from Zhang Mu that you wanted to see me. What's the matter?"
Li Tao heard this and raised his head, looking at the boy in front of him who was several years younger than him, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful at all.
"I don't dare to deceive my senior. I was accidentally injured by an enemy a few days ago. Even if I searched for famous doctors, I couldn't do anything."
"I came here this time to ask senior to help me."
As his words fell, the courtyard became quiet, and only the sound of flipping books could be heard.
There was silence for a moment, and when there was no response, Li Tao felt a little anxious.
After all, he knew his body better than anyone else. If he didn't get treatment, he might not be able to survive for a few days.
He couldn't help but look back at Zhang Mu, but the latter just shook his head slightly towards him.
Li Tao gritted his teeth, thinking of the goal he had not yet completed, and he absolutely could not die like this now.
At the moment, he didn't care about his face. He bent his legs and knelt down heavily in front of Ling Yun.
"Senior Ling, as long as you are willing to take action, I am willing to do my best for senior from now on."
Ling Yun Hearing this, he glanced sideways at him, his tone still unhurried.
"As a little Tongyi warrior, what qualifications do you have for me to take action?"
"Besides, did you misunderstand something?"
"This is not a medical clinic, but there is no way to save people. I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place to find me."
Seeing the hint of rejection in Ling Yun's tone, Li Tao couldn't help but feel anxious and looked at Zhang Mu next to him for help.
Looking at his friend's eyes, Zhang Mu sighed in his heart, rolled his eyes, took a step forward, and smiled flatteringly.
"Master Ling, although Li Tao is a little weak in strength, he is still very diligent. You have a lot of them, so just accept him."
"As for his injury, given your relationship with Demon Suppression Division, it's enough to just say hello."
