Capítulo 2029: Chapter 2029: Not a Single New Trick
After leaving the Yang Family Old House, Luo Ziling took Yang Qingyin to the Northern Pharmaceuticals building.
Ling Haihang’s death had beco the past, but the room he once occupied was no longer inhabited and had been repurposed.
Ling Ruonan had spent a lot of money purchasing this building, and all floors needed renovation, although it would proceed in sections at different tis.
After the Ling Haihang incident, the residents inside had quickly changed their accommodations to another floor.
After Luo Liansheng returned from gathering herbs with a few others last ti, he instructed those who went with him to help prepare the dicine. Now the dicine was ready, and Luo Liansheng himself went to Yuezhou for a period. Luo Ziling was also absent, so those people basically had nothing to do during this ti.
When Luo Ziling left Yanjing, he had instructed them to do so things for his grandfather.
Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan were in the building engaged in labor reflection, which was almost equivalent to labor reform, simply called “re-education through labor.”
Before coming over, Luo Ziling called Ling Haijun and inford him about his visit.
Upon receiving Luo Ziling’s notice, Ling Haijun imdiately gathered all the busy people to prepare for Luo Ziling’s instructions.
On the way here, Luo Ziling called Gu Changwei and asked him to co over this afternoon.
Gu Jian’an had already spoken with Luo Liansheng, allowing Gu Changwei to learn under Luo Ziling, mainly to study acupuncture skills.
Gu Jian’an also agreed to Luo Ziling’s request, willing to teach at Yan University, sharing his knowledge with students applying for traditional dicine studies.
Originally, Gu Changwei was supposed to co over earlier, but nurous matters delayed him from formally becoming Luo Ziling’s disciple.
Today, Luo Ziling planned to have Gu Changwei formally acknowledge him as his teacher in front of everyone else.
By accepting Gu Changwei as a disciple, Luo Ziling already accorded much face to Gu Jian’an.
You must know, Gu Jian’an was of the sa generation as Wang Xuyun, Dong Qiqing, Cheng Bushi, and He Yan. Now, these four elders willingly beca Luo Ziling’s disciples, and Gu Jian’an sent his grandson to learn art. If Luo Ziling were to accept Gu Changwei as a disciple, it would gain Gu Jian’an two generations.
Luo Ziling thought that Old Gu might have considered this, thinking that in future dealings with Wang Xuyun, Dong Qiqing, and the others, he’d have seniority in terms of generation, overwhelming those elders. Truly, the elderly love to compete over these intangible matters.
When Luo Ziling called Gu Changwei, he said he was out with so friends, promising Luo Ziling he’d rush back imdiately, estimating about an hour and a half.
By the ti Luo Ziling arrived at the Northern Pharmaceuticals building, Ling Haijun had already gathered everyone.
During this ti, Luo Ziling gained attention from Ling Jinhua and was instruntal in suppressing the Chen Family and solving the Ling Haihang death incident, thus Ling Haijun felt that his initial decision to yield rather than resist like Ling Haining was the right choice.
Seeing Ling Haining’s envious and resentful gaze, Ling Haijun felt slightly triumphant.
From this incident, Ling Haining’s father Ling Zhengping got a great advantage, which didn’t surprise Ling Haijun.
After all, Ling Zhengping was the eldest son of the Ling Family, and all resources inclined toward him. The Ling Family’s triumph in the struggle surely gave Ling Zhengping opportunities. Besides Ling Zhengping, Ling Zhengmin also benefited, and Ling Haihang’s death even brought so gains.
What satisfied Ling Haijun was that his father Ling Zhenghui also gained from this incident.
His status rose a level, and he got appointed to a ministry position.
Because his father also benefited, Ling Haijun admired Luo Ziling even more.
Ling Haining, of course, would not admire Luo Ziling; he still resented him deeply.
This ti, his father Ling Zhengping gained the most, making Ling Haining quite proud.
However, he wanted to use his father’s promotion opportunity to break free from Luo Ziling’s side and regain his freedom.
But Ling Zhengping did not agree, and Ling Mingrui paid no heed either, leaving Ling Haining to return disgruntled.
He was quite unwilling, and still defiant toward Luo Ziling, so when he saw Luo Ziling, he didn’t greet him.
Luo Ziling ignored him and only instructed Ling Haijun to gather everyone in the courtyard for a speech.
A total of eleven people lined up; Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan stood on the edges, while Dong Xiaowan proudly stood in the center, looking dissatisfied with Luo Ziling.
“I’ve been a bit busy lately and neglected everyone. Now that I’m back, the subsequent training will be more systematic.” Luo Ziling ignored the gaze from Dong Xiaowan, not even glancing her way. “Those learning acupuncture from , I’ll later take ti to teach you the Taiyi Divine Needle technique. Of course, whether you can master it will depend on your potential. As for you guys!”
Luo Ziling pointed at Ling Haijun, Ling Haining, and Ling Haiyang: “Haijun continues managing things here for . Haining and Haiyang, co help when you can and participate in physical training as much as possible. If there’s anything I need you to do, I’ll instruct you at any ti.”
“Understood!” Ling Haijun replied, brimming with pride, and he looked at Ling Haining with a bit of smugness.
While Ling Haining and Ling Haiyang dared not express dissatisfaction publicly, they could only agree.
They were relatively aware of Luo Ziling’s role in this matter, and they had heard about so of Luo Ziling’s tactics, fearing another punishnt, knowing they couldn’t challenge Luo Ziling without senior authorization and opportunity to leave his side.
Luo Ziling assigned tasks on the spot to Ling Haining and Ling Haiyang, instructing them to assist Ling Haijun in procuring so dicinal storage cabinets, with the task to be completed by tomorrow afternoon.
Upon receiving the task, Ling Haijun called on his two brothers to leave together.
“According to what I’ve heard, your performance during this period has not been satisfactory.” Luo Ziling continued his speech, “So, you’ll face my punishnt. Moreover, a new companion will join you later, and you should set a good example for him. What you’ll do is run five kiloters and then clean the top floor of the building thoroughly.”
The top floor had been renovated and could be used once cleaned.
Because both the renovation and furniture materials were non-polluting, and the place was regularly ventilated, there was no noticeable odor.
Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s instructions, apart from the two Dragon Rise team mbers there to learn skills, everyone else looked dejected.
“Again with this punishnt, not a bit of novelty,” Dong Xiaowan couldn’t help but mutter, casting an increasingly unpleasant look towards Luo Ziling.
But unexpectedly, Luo Ziling singled her out this ti: “Later, co with ; I have sothing for you to do.”
Being given such instructions in front of everyone felt odd to Dong Xiaowan, but she didn’t ask Luo Ziling anything right then.
