Chapter 339: Sad Ning Er

“Exciting, really god d*mn exciting! But you guys are simply burning money!”

To be able to drive a BMW, the young driver must have come across a few wealthy men occasionally. However, this was the first time he saw someone spent over 30,000 dollars to travel over 1000km just to rush back for his girlfriend’s birthday party.

Dugu Mo also stared at Ling Yun as he commented, “Genius, isn’t this a little too crazy?”

Ling Yun took out 20,000 dollars before adding in another 2000 dollars before handing it to the driver. He smiled at him and said, “Brother, thank you for your hard work! You’ve driven for the entire day, so you must be really tired. Have a good rest in Qingshui City first before going back tomorrow! Take it as my treat for you to enjoy yourself in Qingshui City.”

“Scenes! Incredible scenes! Then I shall not stand on ceremony and accept this!”

This driver worked so hard to get to Qingshui City as quickly as he could all so that he could earn more money. Therefore, he wasn’t pretentious at all.

Ling Yun consoled himself that it wasn’t even his money, which was why he could be so generous. He still had over 170,000 in his spatial ring.

“Where are you guys heading? I’ll give you guys a lift!” Because of the money, the driver was delighted and energized again.

Ling Yun didn’t wish to find another vehicle, so he thought for a while. “Then I’ll have to trouble you! Let’s go, I’ll direct you!”

Ling Yun directed the driver to drive straight to Qingxi Villa District before getting out of the car with Dugu Mo.

At this moment, it was already eight in the evening. The two of them found a more concealed place, and Ling Yun handed Dugu Mo his longsword from his spatial ring. He smiled at Dugu Mo and asked, “Oh yes, are we still fighting or not?”

Dugu Mo gave a light punch on Ling Yun’s chest before saying, “You’re so sick that even a Xiantian Realm Level One Tokugawa Takeshi couldn’t do anything to you. I’m not foolish enough to fight with you!”

Ling Yun chuckled as he asked casually, “I’m going over to celebrate Ning Er’s birthday! Do you want to come along?”

Dugu Mo shook his head. “It’s okay! I have to rush back to my hotel to readjust my body. I’ll contact you again tomorrow.”

Ling Yun smiled as he replied, “You should hurry up and buy a phone so that it’s easier for us to contact each other. Don’t forget you still have to be my bodyguard for two months!”

Dugu Mo smiled before replying, “Your phone doesn’t even have a battery, so I can’t contact you even if I get myself a phone!”

Ling Yun replied, “Don’t worry, I will have it fully charged tonight and ready to use tomorrow. Oh yes, do you remember my phone number?”

Dugu Mo laughed out loud. “Your phone number is the easiest to remember, so don’t worry, I have it in my head.”

Ling Yun replied, “You can find me at Qingxi Villa District Four, Mansion Number One tomorrow!”

Dugu Mo told Ling Yun which hotel he was staying at, as well as the room number, before bidding goodbye as they each went their separate ways.

It was eight in the evening, which wasn’t considered early or late. Ling Yun raised his head to look at Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak before looking at the tourists visiting the Qingshui Lake. He let out a breath and felt that the experience of entering the crater was almost like a dream.

Fortunately, it was a daunting experience without any mishap, and I’m finally back. Time to celebrate Ning Er’s birthday!

Ling Yun thought to himself as he revealed an attractive smile on his handsome face. He started walking towards the mansion where Xue Meining stayed.

…

Concurrently at Miracle Doctor Xue’s mansion.

There was a boiling cauldron of voices in the mansion, and it was extremely crowded.

Evidently, many high officials and nobles were here to celebrate Xue Meining’s birthday.

Among all these people, many of them were from Qingshui City while some were from Beijing. In fact, there were quite a few of them from all over the country coming down just to celebrate Xue Meining’s 17th birthday.

Miracle Doctor Xue’s mansion would usually be bustling with noise and excitement twice a year. One was to celebrate his own birthday, while the other time would be to celebrate his precious granddaughter, Xue Meining’s, birthday.

Everyone understood Miracle Doctor Xue’s temperament and knew that he was staying here in seclusion. Therefore, the majority of them only came to put down the gifts and left almost immediately. They never stayed to have dinner or chit chat.

Miracle Doctor Xue’s connections were exceedingly extensive. If everyone who came stayed to have a meal before leaving, the entire district of mansions wouldn’t be able to contain everyone, let alone his one mansion.

Of course, there weren’t many people who knew where Miracle Doctor Xue was residing and that today was Xue Meining’s birthday. Moreover, Xue Meining’s parents didn’t invite others either.

Most of the people here had made discreet inquiries to find out that today was Xue Meining’s birthday and invited themselves over. There was a saying about getting in the shadow of a famous tree. The main purpose of these guests was to climb a famous tree called Miracle Doctor Xue.

The number one Miracle Doctor Xue in Huaxia was welcoming everyone who brought gifts to Xue Meining with his son Xue Chengye. They both looked like they were in a joyous and auspicious mood.

Old man Xue was nodding at everyone and was beaming from ear to ear. However, his smile wasn’t able to contain the slightest of worry in his eyes.

All this was because Ling Yun had been gone for too many days! Additionally, there were too many devastating events over the past few days!

If it wasn’t for the fact that Xue Meining’s parents had begun preparations for her birthday over one month in advance, and invited all the guests early, Miracle Doctor Xue would have preferred to cancel this birthday celebration.

Throughout the Qingming Festival, besides the incident at the Zhuang Family, everything else was fine. But why did Ling Yun suddenly disappear the moment the Qingming Festival was over?

Moreover, he truly disappeared without a trace as though there wasn’t such a person in the world to begin with. So many people tried millions of ways to contact him, but none were successful!

Nobody knew where Ling Yun went and whether he was dead or alive. So many people were worried sick as they looked for Ling Yun.

In order to find Ling Yun, Xue Meining hadn’t been to school for the past four days. Her eyes were swollen from all the crying, so how could she enjoy her birthday celebration?

Additionally, there were so many incidents over the past few days. Even though these incidents had nothing to do with Miracle Doctor Xue, they were all related to Ling Yun.

However, since the celebration was prepared beforehand and the banquet was already planned, they couldn’t simply cancel the celebration. Miracle Doctor Xue’s status was on the line, so it wasn’t simple.

Miracle Doctor Xue had no choice but to force a smile and welcome the guests, pretending to be having a great time. All he could do was continue welcoming and sending the guests off while letting his son, Xue Chengye, handle everything else.

Either way, Miracle Doctor Xue knew that no matter how Ning Er’s mother, Zhang Manyun, tried to convince Ning Er, she would never walk out of her bedroom.

…

Xue Meining’s bedroom.

“Baby girl, you have to stop crying. If you continue crying, your mother’s heart will break into many pieces soon! Ling Yun disappeared, and nobody can find him at the moment. However, you have to continue living!”

A 37 years young, fair-skinned, and beautiful woman wore a red dress as she sat on the edge of the bed. With her beautiful eyes, she was staring at Xue Meining, who couldn’t stop crying.

Xue Meining wore her nightgown as she lay silently on her bed. Her black hair, which used to be elegant, looked extremely messy at this moment, and her two beautiful eyes were incredibly red and swollen. Her tears were rolling off her cheek silently as her newly changed pillowcase was wet again.

Xue Meining was shedding tears silently and was completely unmindful of her mother, Zhang Manyun’s advice. She no longer had any energy to reply to her as she was basically devastated to the maximum!

However, a voice kept sounding in her heart. Brother Ling Yun, where are you? Where could you be? How could you disappear for so many days? Today is the sixth day, but why can’t any of us find you?

In just a mere six days, Xue Meining had no appetite for any food or drink. She had been crying so much for the past few days that she had lost a lot of weight!

Zhang Manyun sighed as she extended her hand to reach for a tissue to wipe Xue Meining’s eyes. “Ning Er, listen to your mother. You have to go wash up and put some makeup on. Listen, there are so many guests below, and they are all here to celebrate your birthday. If you don’t show your face at all, it will be too impolite!”

Xue Meining finally raised her swollen eyes and looked at Zhang Manyun. With her hoarse voice, she shouted, “Polite! Polite! All you guys care about is polite! Now that Brother Ling Yun is missing, I don’t care about politeness! All those people were invited by you guys, so I have nothing to do with them! Who told you to celebrate my birthday for me! Brother Ling Yun is nowhere to be found, so why should I be celebrating my stupid birthday!”

Zhang Manyun thought to herself, Baby girl, you are the one who constantly called us to ensure that your birthday this year had to be the most ceremonious. Now that your brother Ling Yun is missing, you are blaming everything on us. This…

However, this wasn’t the time to blame her daughter. Zhang Manyun knew that she had said the wrong words, so she hurriedly tried to cheer her daughter up. “Alright, alright, alright! You don’t have to be polite! It’s my precious daughter’s birthday today, so you’re the biggest! Do whatever you want, but can you at least let me feed you one mouthful of water? You can’t possibly not eat or drink today!”

Xue Meining frowned as she refuted, “I’m not drinking! Brother Ling Yun is missing, so why should I drink water? If father went missing, would you still have the mood to drink water?”

Doughty! This lady was indeed extremely doughty! Even when she was so devastated, every sentence she said was shocking.

Zhang Manyun’s lips pursed slightly. “Kid, how can you say that? Your Brother Ling Yun might be important, but how can his relationship with you be more important than your father and mother?”

Xue Meining buried her heads back into her pillow as she shouted, “Important! Definitely important and comparable! What do you know? Brother Ling Yun saved my grandpa’s life!”

Zhang Manyun sighed and was starting to get frustrated at Ling Yun. How did he suddenly go missing, causing her daughter to become like this? What now? Not going to school, not drinking, not eating, no longer wanting to look good… All she wanted to do every day was to find Ling Yun. How charming was this Ling Yun?

She thought for a while and suddenly had an idea! She comforted her baby daughter by saying, “Ning Er, didn’t you say that Ling Yun promised to celebrate your birthday with you? Who knows? What if he appears tonight?”

Indeed, Xue Meining immediately sat up on her bed as she asked, “Really?”
