Chapter 617 In the ancient medical world, Miss Ying reigns supreme [2 updates]

Over the years, the Ling family has been in a precarious position in the ancient martial arts world.

Beset by internal and external troubles, the situation is difficult.

Indeed, there are quite a few other direct descendants of the Ling family who covet the position of family head.

Besides Ling Dongqing, there are at least three others, and they are not weak.

Furthermore, because the Ling family did not align themselves with any major clan, their resources were sometimes withheld.

If it weren't for Ling Chonglou's ingenuity and wisdom, the Ling family might have been wiped out years ago.

Therefore, even though the elders were dissatisfied with Ling Chonglou marrying Jiang Huaping, they did not comply with the wishes of the other direct descendants and forced Ling Chonglou to step down.

But now...

The elder looked solemn.

Ancient medicine is extremely important.

If the Ling family didn't have the ancient physician, they wouldn't even be able to squeeze into the ranks of the great families, and might even fall out of the top fifty ancient martial arts families.

"I hope your family will consider this carefully." Butler Fan smiled again. "Three days. During these three days, we will leave three ancient doctors for your family."

He stepped back, making room for the space.

Behind them, two women and a man walked in carrying a medicine box.

"These three are all inner disciples of the Heavenly Medicine Sect, and their medical skills are very high." Butler Fan said meaningfully, "The Grand Elder can give them a try; they are definitely not comparable to those rogue doctors."

The Grand Elder remained silent.

He didn't need to test it to know that the medical skills of the inner disciples of the Heavenly Medicine Sect were far superior to those of ordinary ancient doctors.

Many ancient medical manuals are only available to the Tianyi Sect.

In particular, the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique was known to no more than ten people in the ancient medical community.

After a long silence, the First Elder finally spoke: "Alright, but the Ling family will need some time to change the head of the family."

Butler Fan was not surprised by this answer.

Only medium-sized or larger ancient martial arts families have an elder council. The elder council is responsible for protecting the entire family, not just one person.

"Then the Fan family will await good news from your family. From now on, we will be allies."

After finishing his sentence, Butler Fan left.

The elder's expression was icy.

They called it an alliance, but in the end it was just a subordinate entity.

He looked several years older and waved his hand: "Go and call the elders, Chonglou, and the other direct descendants to come to a meeting."

**

On the other side.

The capital city.

Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen came out of the mall.

Jiang Ran followed behind, carrying large and small bags.

After getting into the car, he finally remembered something, clicked his tongue, and made a phone call to Xiu Yu.

The last time they met was at a class reunion during winter break.

"Hey, who's this? Things are really different now that you're the head of the family." Jiang Ran said casually. "How does it feel to be the head of the family? You have no idea, when you were the head of the family, Dad carried me all the way."

"Are you jealous? I know you are. Tell me, and I won't laugh at you."

“Oh—” Xiu Yu said calmly, “We are different. My father even took me crazy in O continent. You don’t know, my father hired IBI to kill an entire family for me.”

Jiang Ran: "..."

grass.

He had never mentioned Xiu Yu from childhood to adulthood.

Jiang Gas had to hang up the phone.

He gritted his teeth: "Father Ying, I want to go to O Continent."

In the passenger seat, Ying Zijing turned around: "What are you going to O Continent for?"

Jiang Ran said matter-of-factly, "I need you to protect me and take me crazy."

Ying Zijin: "..."

He's sick, and quite seriously so.

"How about I take you to O Continent?" Fu Yunshen turned the steering wheel. "I'll protect you, I'll take you crazy!"

Jiang Ran: "...Then let's not."

He feared that once he left, he would never return.

"What?" Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow. "They're both fathers, yet you're favoring one over the other? I'm jealous."

“You’re different.” Jiang Ran pulled his coat tighter around himself and muttered, “You’re so different in public and in private, I’m afraid of you.”

A notorious playboy in Shanghai suddenly became the president of the Venus Group.

An outsider whom the ancient martial arts world considered to have no background suddenly became the shadow of the Judicial Hall.

Who can withstand this psychologically?

“Speaking of O Continent, Venus Group is having a conference in June that I need to attend in person.” Fu Yunshen turned his head. “Yaoyao, do you want to go? You haven’t really had a chance to explore properly the last few times.”

Ying Zijing lowered her eyelashes and remained silent for a moment: "Go."

For some reason, she had an extremely strong sixth sense.

She needs to go to O continent soon.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran immediately became motivated: "Then I want to go too."

Fu Yunshen stared straight ahead at the road, then lifted his eyelids slightly: "What are you going to do? You're just a third wheel."

Jiang Ran: "..."

Ying Zijing propped her head up with her hand and answered a phone call.

Fu Xi is now able to use WeChat and other apps very well.

She made a video call: "Master, the elders of the Pill Alliance are asking if you want to become the alliance leader."

That day, after Qiu Man, the leader of the Pill Alliance, committed suicide, the Pill Alliance also underwent a major purge.

Among the middle and senior management and core members of the Dan Alliance alone, a thousand evil doctors were identified.

With the position of leader of the Dan Alliance vacant, the elders naturally thought of Ying Zijin.

Ying Zijing paused slightly: "Do I look like someone who likes being a leader?"

As she said this, she glanced at Jiang Ran in the back seat out of the corner of her eye and slapped her head.

This is such a hassle.

It reminded her of Caesar in the 18th century.

It's so annoying, I want to kick it away.

Fu Xi: "..."

Too.

“Then I will refuse them,” Fu Xi said. “Master, please give me your instructions. All the ancient physicians under my command respect our Master.”

The great threat of quack doctors has been eradicated, and the danger that has shrouded the world of ancient medicine for nearly a hundred years has finally dissipated.

The ancient doctors also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the field of ancient medicine, no one now disagrees with Ying Zijin.

Ying Zijin nodded slightly: "You've worked hard, don't overwork yourself."

Fu Xi hesitated for a moment, then sent a screenshot: "Master, could you teach me how to download this emoji?"

"..."

"My father has taken on a disciple?" Jiang Ran's ears twitched, and he leaned forward. "Father Fu, when? Who is it?"

“Fu Xi, the ancestor of the Fu family was also the foremost physician in ancient times. As for when, let me calculate—” Fu Yun Shen pondered for a moment, as if lost in thought, “more than two hundred years ago?”

Jiang Ran: "???"

**

Jiang Ran remained in a state of constant disarray throughout the journey.

This made it difficult for him to look Ying Zijin in the eye.

When Jiang Ran returned to the Ling family home, he noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat different.

Jiang Huaping and Ling Chonglou sat at the table, their expressions solemn. Upon seeing Jiang Ran, they both turned around.

"Dad, Mom." Seeing this scene, Jiang Ran was reminded of his childhood and subconsciously said, "I wasn't playing around, I didn't fight, I didn't do any of it."

"Who said anything about you?" Jiang Huaping said helplessly. "But there are some things that your mother needs to tell you."

She was about to speak when she noticed that Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen had followed her in.

Jiang Huaping paused briefly before recounting the internal meeting of the Ling family that morning.

"The Fan family?" Fu Yunshen asked, one hand in his pocket. "Which Fan family?"

"The seventh-ranked family in the ancient martial arts world." Jiang Ran clenched his fist. "It's the one that the Qiao family is backing. It must be the Qiao family pulling the strings again."

The Ling family's overall strength just barely made it into the top fifty in the ancient martial arts world.

"The Fan family has ordered those independent doctors not to cooperate with the Ling family in any way?" Ying Zijing understood after hearing this. "Unless Uncle Ling steps down as head of the family?"

“Yes, and they will also send ancient doctors from the Heavenly Medicine Sect to reside in the Ling family.” Ling Chonglou smiled easily. “I didn’t realize I was so important.”

It's not a big deal that he stepped down as head of the family; he never really cared about the position anyway.

Just as the head of the Qiao family said, without the position of family head, he could not protect Jiang Huaping and Jiang Ran.

Ying Zijing nodded slightly: "Uncle Ling, do you still have funds?"

Ling Chonglou didn't understand why the girl asked that, but he still answered: "Yes, I also have several companies in the capital. One of them was recently listed overseas. The funds are not as much as the Mu family or the Nie family, but they are not small either."

He paused, then said, "I've been thinking about it. At worst, Xiaohua and I will move to the capital. But this brat is still in the court of law, undergoing training. Zijin, could you please keep an eye on him?"

Ying Zijing paused, her hand still: "Uncle Ling, have you made a decision?"

In the Ling family, she only knew Ling Chonglou's lineage and Ling Mianxi and her daughter.

She has nothing to do with the other people.

Ying Zijing never considered herself a savior who could help anyone.

Ling Chonglou paused for a moment, then sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "I'm just ashamed of my ancestors. I'm powerless to stop the Ling family from falling."

The founding ancestor of the Ling family has passed away.

He received teachings from this ancestor when he was a child.

They watched helplessly as the Ling family was about to become a vassal of the Fan family.

“Alright, notify the elders. Ancient medicine is available, the best of the best.” Ying Zijing pressed a number, her voice calm. “You helped me before, now I will help the Ling family become a great family and enter the top ten in the ancient martial arts world.”

Give our sweet and sassy Yaoyao a ticket!

I don't know when it will end, it's definitely in its later stages ☉▽☉
