"Mr. He, I must see Ling Chen." At this mont, Yang Qingling’s attitude was very firm. No matter how He Ziyun tried to persuade her, she remained unmoved.
"Ling Chen is not in a suitable condition to see anyone right now. I know you care about him, but worry can cause chaos. Elder Tong and the others are watching over Ling Chen, ensuring nothing happens to him. You should go back and wait for news."
"No way!" Yang Qingling was very angry. She thought she had persuaded Ling Chen, but unexpectedly, her son sneaked out of the hospital when she wasn’t paying attention.
He Ziyun patiently advised, "This is Ling Chen’s own choice. As his mother, why can’t you respect his decision?"
"If it weren’t for you guys instigating from the side, would he have done this? He’s my son. I must ensure his safety. I’d rather he becos an ordinary person than let him bear such great danger."
"Qingling." At this ti, Ling Kun ca in from outside.
"You’re just in ti. Ling Chen is inside. Help get him out."
Ling Kun sighed softly and said helplessly, "Why are you doing this? Ling Chen is not a child anymore; he’s an adult. Since he made such a choice, we should support him. Let’s go, co back with ."
"How can you say that?" Yang Qingling said in a hurry, "Isn’t he your son? Don’t you care about him at all?"
"It’s not a matter of caring or not. You’re oversimplifying the situation. I understand why he’s doing this, so I support him. Besides, you’re only considering your own feelings. Have you thought about Ling Chen’s feelings? Do you think he’s willing to be an ordinary person? He’s not! If it were , I would make the sa choice as him."
"You... you all... Fine! Since you say so, I won’t interfere. However, if anything happens to Ling Chen, I will never let you off." With that, Yang Qingling stord out.
Watching Yang Qingling’s departing figure, Ling Kun sighed softly and said, "Mr. He, I’m really sorry for troubling you."
"It’s okay, I understand her feelings. You should spend more ti with her."
"I understand, I’ll head back now, Ling Chen..."
"Don’t worry, as soon as there’s news, I’ll let you know imdiately."
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
During this period, apart from Ling Gengqiu coming into the room a few tis to deliver dicine to Ling Chen, he remained in a state of deep sleep.
"It’s been so many days, why hasn’t he co out yet?" Tong Zhentian appeared a bit anxious.
"The longer the ti, the better the effect. Don’t worry. The current situation is better than I expected." At this point, Ling Gengqiu glanced at the worried-looking Tong Zhentian and asked, "What? Is there sothing you’re worried about?"
Tong Zhentian spoke, "Tomorrow is the last day of the deadline. We originally wanted Ling Chen to run for a spot in the martial arts association, but with him like this, we... sigh! The Nine Elents Pill has already been given to Ling Chen. This ans we’re down two spots, and in this competition, we’re likely to lose to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
"Winning or losing doesn’t matter," Ling Gengqiu said calmly. "As long as Ling Chen is safe, that’s our greatest victory."
"I hope we’ll have a chance to turn the tables in the future."
...
Heavenly chanism Pavilion.
"Elder Du, has the list been compiled?"
"Yes, it’s done. A total of thirty-six people have signed up to run for committee mbership. I just took a look and discovered sothing strange."
"Sothing strange?" Su i asked curiously, "What is it?"
"In this list, apart from Tong Zhentian being the president of the martial arts association, there’s only one other person, Ye Liangyong, who signed up. Besides him, Dragon Tiger Hall hasn’t sent anyone else, not even Ling Chen. According to our previous assumptions, Ling Chen would definitely run. Given his contributions to the martial arts world, he would certainly secure a spot. So, I find it a bit strange that Dragon Tiger Hall seems to have given up this competition."
"Is that so? Let take a look at the list." Su i frowned slightly as she took the list handed by Du Kang.
Scanning the list of over thirty people, Su i said, "A third of the nas here are people we’ve arranged. Of the remaining twenty, Dragon Tiger Hall might have their people among them. Elder Du, you should be cautious."
"Rest assured, Pavilion Master, I’ve checked. Of the remaining twenty, there are few who qualify for the spots. The only one with so competitive edge is that Ye Liangyong. So, I still feel my guess is right, Dragon Tiger Hall seems ready to give up this ti."
"This isn’t like Ling Chen." Su i said, "From what I know of him, he wouldn’t give up halfway. He would go all out regardless of the outco. By the way, Elder Du, have there been any updates on Ling Chen lately?"
Du Kang shook his head and replied, "Since that day we drank with Ling Chen and the others, I haven’t seen them. Also, according to our people, Ling Chen seems to have disappeared recently without a trace."
"I see..." Su i pondered for a mont and then said, "Elder Du, keep an eye on the movents of Dragon Tiger Hall, see if there’s anything we can find out."
"Understood! And... about the martial arts association...?"
"Proceed," Su i said. "No matter what issues Dragon Tiger Hall encounters, we must do our job well. What was to be an interesting competition now seems to lack a decent opponent for our Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
"That’s all thanks to the Pavilion Master’s excellent leadership."
Upon hearing this, Su i couldn’t help but laugh, "Elder Du, since when did you learn to flatter? Alright, you can get back to work now."
Du Kang nodded and turned to leave. Standing outside, looking at the sky, a trace of indescribable anxiety flashed in Du Kang’s eyes.
Ling Chen has had no news for so long, could it really be... Thinking of this, Du Kang sighed softly.
After returning to Yangxin Pavilion and resting briefly, Du Kang headed toward the forr valley of Yangxin Pavilion.
Soon after entering the valley, the solitary wooden house appeared in Du Kang’s sight. After hesitating for a mont, Du Kang walked up to the wooden house and gently knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside, revealing a young man facing Du Kang.
"I warned you not to co here," the young man said coldly.
"Sorry, I just wanted to ask, haven’t they returned yet?"
"No."
"Have they sent any ssages to you?"
"No."
"They..."
"No," the young man said coldly. "I can’t answer the questions you’re asking, so you might as well go back."
"Why?"
