At this moment, everyone realized that the fairy in white was none other than Yan Ruyu, the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
With Yan Ruyu vouching for them, the onlookers felt that the case was in the bag!
The city lord remained silent. He had accepted three thousand taels of silver from Yang Xuan; if he released Ling Yun, wouldn't that mean...?
However, the Yan family was so powerful that even the city lord's mansion dared not offend them.
"Miss Yan, with so many witnesses, Ling Yun..."
Yan Ruyu interrupted the city lord, saying coldly:
"Lord of the City, there are some things I don't want to expose in public. Ling Yun is my benefactor. Daring to deal with him is to oppose my Yan family. You will know what the consequences will be!"
Upon hearing this, the city lord was immediately shocked, but more than that, he was furious. He was, after all, the city lord, and Yan Ruyu was really disrespecting him.
Just as she was about to speak, Yan Ruyu waved her hand, and a phantom of a seven-colored phoenix suddenly appeared behind her.
Upon seeing this, the city lord turned pale with fright and fell off his chair.
He knew that Yan Ruyu had become a martial artist. The Golden Cloud Continent was a world that valued martial arts, and in every country, martial arts were revered.
If I offend Yan Ruyu, even if she kills me, no one will dare to interfere.
Immediately, the city lord sat up abruptly and called out in a trembling voice:
"I hereby declare Ling Yun innocent!"
At this moment, Yan Ruyu looked out of the hall.
Yan Hui, the head of the Yan family guards, escorted Yang Xuan, the owner of Baicaotang, and the chief physician to the main hall.
Thump!
The two knelt down in terror.
Yang Xuan immediately pointed at the chief physician and angrily said:
"Lord of the city, it was all his idea. He saw that Ling Yun had stolen his reputation, so he came up with the plan to frame Ling Yun!"
Seeing that Yang Xuan had betrayed him, the chief physician decided to go all the way and pointed at Yang Xuan, scolding him.
"Nonsense, clearly..."
With a soft "pfft!"
The chief physician's head was chopped off by the constables, splattering blood all over Yang Xuan's face.
It scared Yang Xuan so much he peed his pants.
The next moment!
Another stab!
Yang Xuan was decapitated!
The city lord killed the man to prevent the bribery from being exposed.
Immediately, the city lord said with a serious expression:
"The mastermind is dead. The commoners who gave false testimony should each be given twenty strokes of the cane. That's the end of the matter!"
The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances, all knowing something was amiss, but Lingyun was saved, and they shouted with excitement:
"The city lord is wise!"
Ling Yun glanced at Zhang Mao and the others who were giving false testimony.
They silently restored all their illnesses, and in the next three days, they would die from the torment of their ailments.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Yan Ruyu looked at Ling Yun:
"My benefactor, please come with me to the Yan family for a chat!"
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun nodded.
Amidst the cheers of the people, they boarded the Yan family's carriage.
Inside the carriage, Yan Ruyu, Ling Yun, and A Bao sat facing each other.
Yan Ruyu was breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that A Bao dared not look at her, fearing that one more glance would make him unable to extricate himself. He quietly leaned close to Ling Yun's ear and whispered:
"Brother, Miss Yan and you are quite a good match."
Ling Yun's face stiffened, and he gave A Bao a flick on the forehead.
"Have a good ride!"
As he spoke, Ling Yun unconsciously looked at Yan Ruyu.
It just so happens that Yan Ruyu is also looking at Ling Yun.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Yan Ruyu felt that Ling Yun was handsome and masculine, and also had an extremely trustworthy temperament.
In particular, Ling Yun's composure is even greater than that of his own father, a composure that is not common among people his age.
Ling Yun glanced at Yan Ruyu, then closed his eyes to rest, feeling that there was no way there could be such a beautiful woman in the world.
After a short while, the carriage stopped.
Yan Ruyu smiled at Ling Yun and A Bao:
"Please follow me, my benefactor!"
Immediately afterwards, Lingyun and Abao followed Yan Ruyu to the main hall of the Yan family.
The head of the family, Yan Kuan, had already prepared wine and dishes, waiting for Ling Yun and his companion.
Seeing Ling Yun approach, Yan Kuan quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile:
"I'm relieved to see that Doctor Ling is alright!"
Ling Yun smiled and clasped his hands in greeting:
"Thank you so much, Patriarch, for saving us!"
Yan Kuan said solemnly:
"You are my daughter's savior. Even if it costs the entire Yan family, I will save you."
Let's not talk about this anymore, let's have a couple more drinks to get rid of this bad luck.
The four of them then sat down and raised their glasses for a drink.
After a few rounds of drinks, Yan Kuan glanced at his beloved daughter Yan Ruyu, then looked at Ling Yun, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Ling Yun smiled and said:
"What does Patriarch Yan have to say?"
Yan Kuan glanced at Yan Ruyu, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously:
"Dr. Ling, I know you are no ordinary person. I want Yu'er to stay with you!"
"Um?"
Ling Yun was somewhat surprised, never expecting that Yan Kuan would let his precious daughter come with him.
Definitely need to refuse:
"Patriarch Yan, to be honest, I'm actually being chased, and it's not very convenient for two grown men like me and Abao to be with a woman!"
As if he had anticipated Ling Yun's refusal, Yan Kuan waved his hand and continued:
"I developed the Yan family from a small clan into the number one family in Yuanling City, and that's all thanks to my ability to judge people."
Although Doctor Ling is very low-key, I can still tell that you are no ordinary person, and you must be a martial artist.
If Yu'er hadn't become a martial artist, I certainly wouldn't have let her follow you, but since she has, the Yan family can no longer offer her any help in martial arts.
But Dr. Ling can definitely do it!
As for what you said about being chased, since you dare to practice medicine openly in Yuanling City, it means you are not afraid of the people chasing you at all.
Furthermore, I have complete confidence in Doctor Ling and young friend Abao. The way you two look at Yu'er is only admiration, not lust!
After saying that, Yan Kuan took a big gulp of wine, looked at Ling Yun, and said sternly:
"Dr. Ling, please promise me, don't force me to kneel before you!"
Ling Yun chuckled to himself, then thought that having a fairy accompany him on the journey wouldn't be so bad.
"Since Patriarch Yan has said so, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse."
How about this? When we encounter a major sect on the road, I will send Miss Yan to that sect for cultivation, is that alright?
Yan Kuan's face lit up with joy, and he smiled:
"That would be perfect!"
He was convinced that Ling Yun must have a powerful background and know people from major sects, which is why he decided to let Yan Ruyu follow Ling Yun.
Then, Yan Kuan looked at Yan Ruyu and said softly:
"Yu'er, what do you think?"
Yan Ruyu glanced at Ling Yun and nodded slightly shyly.
"It's all up to Father!"
"Haha..." Yan Kuan was very pleased, raised his wine glass and laughed:
"Then I wish Yu'er will become an immortal in the future!"
...
The next morning, Lingyun and Abao walked out of their room and saw more than a dozen carriages parked in the courtyard, with Yan family servants busy carrying things up.
Ling Yun was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked:
What are you doing here?
The butler walked over, smiling, and said:
"When the young lady goes on a long trip, the master said to take extra food with her in case she doesn't eat well while traveling."
Ling Yun chuckled to himself. Were these dozen or so carriages going on a long trip or moving house?
"No need for all that trouble, so many carriages are slowing us down!"
