Chapter 618 Ying Zijin: I think the Fan family doesn't need the ancient doctor anymore [1 update]
"..."
After those words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Ling Chonglou and Jiang Huaping exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
How can the Ling family be propelled into the top ten of the ancient martial arts world?
The Ling family isn't even a major family now, so how can they get into the top ten?
Ying Zijing's call has been connected.
The voice on the other end was Fu Xi: "Master."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment: "There's something I need you to do. I need to transfer fifty ancient doctors from the ancient medical world to the Ling family in the ancient martial arts world."
"The Fu family and the Tianyi Sect are both fine. The Ling family provides room and board, and wages are paid according to market rates."
Of course, ancient doctors couldn't work for free; they also needed to be paid.
However, for families in the ancient martial arts world to hire ancient doctors from the Fu, Meng, and An families, as well as the Tianyi Sect, money alone is not enough.
They also need status and power.
Therefore, medium-sized families in the ancient martial arts world have no access to the ancient doctors within these four major forces.
"The Ling family?" Fu Xi thought for a moment, "Alright, Master, I'll have Fu Chen lead the team. He also needs to go to the ancient martial arts world to gain some experience."
He sleeps all day and claims it's to improve his internal strength; she just wants to kick him out.
"Uncle Ling, are fifty ancient doctors enough?" Ying Zijing ended the call and nodded. "If not, I'll call some more alchemy doctors from the Pill Alliance."
Hearing this, even Ling Chonglou was somewhat dizzy and completely stunned: "...This isn't enough?"
The Fan family ranks seventh in the ancient martial arts world, and there are hundreds of ancient doctors in the family.
However, no more than thirty of them originated from the top forces in the ancient medical field.
Now, Ying Zijing has casually summoned fifty people.
It has the air of bringing over the entire field of ancient medicine.
"Not enough?" Ying Zijing pulled up the phone number of the Grand Elder of the Pill Alliance and was about to dial.
"No, no," Ling Chonglou stopped him in time, taking a deep breath. "What I mean is, it's more than enough, and isn't it a bit too much?"
They're almost catching up with the Lin, Xie, and Yue families.
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "Not many. It's a big family, so the configuration can't be bad."
Ling Chonglou was speechless, his eyes burning with tears.
It was at this moment that they truly realized how high Ying Zijin's status was in the world of ancient medicine.
"Zijin, you have been a tremendous help to the Ling family." Ling Chonglou pondered for a moment. "What do you need? The Ling family will definitely make it happen for you."
Ying Zijing thought for a moment: "I lack nothing, but there is one thing."
Ling Chonglou's expression was solemn: "Tell me, as long as I can do it."
"Uncle Ling, why don't you put him in solitary confinement for a while?" Ying Zijing pointed to Jiang Ran standing to the side. "He's a bit of a nuisance."
Ling Chonglou made a quick decision: "Okay, no problem."
Jiang Ran: "???"
Why is he always the one who gets hurt?
Now that ancient medicine has been developed, Ling Chonglou went to prepare funds and contracts.
Jiang Huaping walked to Fu Yunshen's side, feeling a bit more relaxed: "Liu Ying must be very happy to see you all today, with such great achievements."
“I also hope she can be happy every day.” Fu Yunshen was silent for a moment, then smiled. “If I don’t return to the ancient martial arts world for a long time in the future, please ask Aunt Jiang to sweep my grave for me. She is all alone and too lonely.”
“Of course, I would have gone even if you hadn’t told me,” Jiang Huaping said. “I really don’t know where she was during those years, or what about you—”
She didn't say anything more, she just sighed.
It is unknown who Fu Liuying had with whom Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen remained silent, his peach blossom eyes concealing a chilling coldness.
Although he had already determined where Fu Liuying had gone.
The problem now is that we can't find the entrance to that place, so we can't get in at all.
Fu Yunshen said calmly, "I will avenge her, no matter who did it."
This is the belief that sustains him, and it will not change.

Day three.
The Ling family held another meeting.
"The details of the matter were already explained the day before yesterday." The First Elder tapped the table and spoke calmly, "Ancient medicine is of paramount importance. For the sake of the entire Ling family, the elders have decided to remove Chonglou from his position as head of the family."
"According to the established order, Ling Quan will assume the position of family head. Does anyone have any objections?"
Ling Quan was overjoyed and immediately said, "Thank you, Elder. I will certainly live up to your expectations and lead the Ling family to great heights!"
The Grand Elder nodded and turned to ask, "Chonglou, what about you?"
“I have an objection,” Ling Chonglou said. “Ancient medicine—”
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Quan interrupted him: "Yes, Gu Yi. Because of what you and your son have done, the Ling family can't even hire Gu Yi anymore. You still have objections? Are you worthy?"
"If you're so capable, first get the Fan family to lift the blockade and let the ancient doctor come back."
Ling Quan's expression was icy.
He had disliked Ling Chonglou for a long time.
But he wouldn't be as impulsive as Ling Dongqing.
This time, it was the elders who personally handed over the position of family head to him.
Finally, Ling Chonglou can get rid of him, and he should thank the Fan family.
Ling Chonglou sneered: "Who said that ancient medicine can't make a comeback? What I want to say is that I just signed contracts with fifty ancient doctors."
“Chonglou.” It was the First Elder who spoke. He frowned. “Don’t act rashly. If you had said five, we might have believed you.”
Fifty?
How is that possible?
"Elder!"
Just then, a guard rushed in from outside.
He knelt down on one knee, his voice filled with barely suppressed joy: "Dozens of ancient doctors have arrived! They all want to take up residence in the Ling family!"
One sentence shocked everyone in the conference room.
Ling Quan asked incredulously, "Dozens?"
The Grand Elder was stunned for a full half minute before immediately standing up: "Quickly, please come in!"
He went out first to greet them in the front hall.
Ling Quan gritted his teeth and followed him away.
When he arrived at the front hall, he realized that what Ling Chonglou had said was true.
There really were fifty ancient doctors, not one missing.
Moreover, the clothing of these ancient doctors all bear the characters "伏" (Fu) and "天" (Tian).
The Fu family!
Tianyi Sect!
The elder felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Is this the kind of ancient doctor the Ling family could hire?!
"Patriarch Ling, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Fu Chen." Fu Chen stepped forward and shook hands with Ling Chonglou. "I lack nothing else, except a comfortable bed. Could you please make my bed a little softer so I can get a good night's sleep?"
Ling Chonglou: "...Definitely."
The Grand Elder was shocked again: "You, you are Young Master Fu Chen?"
"Yes," Fu Chen said, fanning himself, "Don't I look like it?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Fu Chen's thick gold chain and sunglasses: "..."
Not at all.
And he's even more like a gangster than he is.
Fu Chen waved his hand dismissively: "You guys handle the work assignments, I'm going to rest."
The elder was sweating profusely and didn't know how to respond.
His fingers were trembling because he was too excited.
Ling Quan opened his mouth: "Elder, what about my position as head of the family..."
The First Elder took several breaths before he could barely calm down: "Since Chonglou has invited the ancient physician, then he should be the head of the family."
This time, the Ling family will absolutely not change its head of the family again.
Ling Chonglou's position was completely consolidated.
Although the Grand Elder did not know how Ling Chonglou managed to invite the ancient doctors from the Fu family and the Tianyi Sect.
Ling Chonglou gave Jiang Ran a wink.
Jiang Ran followed Fu Chen and led him to the room.
Fu Chen closed his fan: "By the way, where is Miss Ying?"
Jiang Ran recalled for a moment: "Oh, Father Ying said he was bored, so he went to the Martial Arts Alliance to play in the arena."
"..."
**
This way.
Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters.
Ying Zijin finished her last match.
She didn't remove her mask, registered a fake name at the counter, and then left the arena.
The manager looked at the results on the paper and hissed, "This young lady's fighting ability is really strong. She entered five rounds and won all five."
Female martial arts practitioners number only one-fifth of male practitioners, and their average strength is weaker than that of male practitioners.
There were very few female martial arts practitioners who came to compete in the arena.
Xie Nian was an exception.
Furthermore, Xie Nian is also very ruthless in the arena, killing his opponent nine times out of ten.
But no one could say anything, since she was participating in life-or-death arena matches.
And now, there's another woman, and she's achieved a perfect record.
It seems to belong to neither Lin, Xie, nor Yue.
Another steward asked, "Should we report this to the young master?"
“Reporting won’t do any good.” The steward shook his head. “It’s obvious that she doesn’t show her face and is using a false name.”
"We can only ask the young master to come and watch when she participates in the arena again next time."
After exchanging opinions, the two entered Ying Zijing's grades into her file.
Outside the arena.
Fu Yunshen was waiting.
Seeing the girl come out, he waved, hugged her, and ruffled her hair: "Having fun?"
"I'm not happy, it's not fun." Ying Zijin yawned. "I'm not strong enough, it's not challenging enough. It's more fun to fight with you."
"Girlfriend, be gentle." Fu Yunshen raised his hand, his light amber eyes gleaming with a hint of a smile. "I'm really scared."
Ying Zijing patted his shoulder reassuringly: "Boyfriend, don't be afraid. You said you wouldn't hit me in the face."
She still wanted to see his face.
"..."

The Fan family.
Three days have passed, but there has been no news from the Ling family.
For the Fan family, it would only take a word to terminate the contracts with those independent doctors and the Ling family.
As long as the Ling family becomes a subordinate family of the Fan family, the Fan family can marry Ling Mianxi.
After marrying Ling Mianxi, he will have her give birth to his child in the Fan family.
The stronger the ancient martial arts talent of both parents, the better their offspring will be able to inherit.
The head of the Fan family summoned the steward who had gone to the Ling family that day: "Did you not bring what I asked you to? Or did you fail to make sure the Ling family weighed the pros and cons?"
The steward hurriedly said, "Reporting to the master, the message has been delivered."
"The message has been delivered, but they haven't reacted?" Patriarch Fan was puzzled. "Do they know the ancient physicians of the Heavenly Medicine Sect?"
The butler smiled and said, "Master, if the Ling family were related to any major force in the ancient medical world, would they still be the size they are today? Even if they couldn't squeeze into the top ten in the ancient martial arts world, they would definitely be a major family."
“That’s right.” Patriarch Fan nodded slowly. “It really makes sense.”
Ancient doctors who knew acupuncture could also help ancient martial artists further develop their body's potential.
The ancient doctors of Fu, Meng, An, and Tianyi Sect are not on the same level as ordinary ancient doctors at all.
“Let’s go, let’s go see the Ling family.” The head of the Fan family frowned and stood up. “Let’s see what tricks they’re playing, or which rogue doctor is disobeying the Fan family and staying in the Ling family.”
The steward replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."
The Fan family and the Ling family are not in the same direction, and the ancient martial arts world is vast.
It was nearly evening when the head of the Fan family arrived at the Ling family's residence by carriage.
The Ling family was not as flustered as expected, nor did they make a large fuss to come out and greet them.
The servants and guards were also working in an orderly manner.
"What does the Ling family mean by this?" The head of the Fan family narrowed his eyes. "We agreed a couple of days ago that if you changed your family head, we would help you hire an ancient doctor."
"Why are you still unmoved? Do you really think you can still find ancient medicine in the field of ancient medicine?"
The head of the Fan family didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
In the world of ancient martial arts, there are hundreds of medium-sized families like the Ling family.
The gap between medium-sized and large families is huge, both in terms of population and overall military strength.
The Ling family has no powerful backers, yet they want to go against the Fan family?
Ling Chonglou smiled faintly: "If your Fan family can let the ancient doctor leave, we naturally have a way to bring him back."
"You? You think you can compare to the Fan family?" The Fan family head turned his head, his gaze falling on Fu Chen. "This is the ancient doctor you found again? Where did you come from, you rogue doctor? Didn't you receive orders from the Fan family?"
Jiang Ran was taken aback, turned her head, and asked, "He doesn't recognize you?"
Fu Chen's name is renowned in the ancient martial arts world.
“It’s not like any family in the ancient martial arts world can see me.” Fu Chen stroked his chin. “My portrait is very valuable, and not just anyone can buy it. I have no interest in being like Meng Qingxue, where every noble family’s scion treasures her portrait.”
Jiang Ran nodded.
That's true.
"I'll give you one minute." The head of the Fan family glanced at Fu Chen. "Leave the Ling family. If you can't find a family to join, come to the Fan family. The Fan family will give you ten times the money."
Fu Chen's expression turned cold, but before he could answer, a cold, slow voice rang out.
The girl stood at the doorway with her arms crossed, tilting her head slightly: "I think the Fan family can stop needing the ancient doctor."
