Chapter 616: Giving the Heavenly Seal, Asking for Treasure

“Brother Song, doesn’t that mean Ling Yun’s current net worth is close to five billion yuan?” Murong Wenshi muttered. Ling Yun was still a high school student.

“A lot more than that…”

Song Zhengyang had a face of rare solemnity. “Elder Murong, I’m not bluffing. You probably know my origins, but I’m not talking about me now.”

“I can only say that I’ve never seen a worldly genius like Ling Yun in my life!

“I met Ling Yun one month ago. He was betting with someone, and I was there as a witness. He couldn’t even bring out a hundred million yuan at that point in time, but do you know what he wanted to use as collateral?”

“Such a huge piece of emperor jade! I don’t need to tell you how much that’s worth. Moreover, it was hollowed out and made into a jade box. You can just guess what it contained…” Song Zhengyang used his hands to indicate the size of the box.

“Then, Ling Yun single-handedly tore down two villas within several minutes. He also brought out two Night-Luminescent Pearls as big as lychees!

“Aren’t Gou Liancheng and the former director of the Public Security Bureau in deep sh*t now? That was Ling Yun’s doing! That was also why Tang Tianhao could climb up so effortlessly…

“I also know that the person who hit you — Sun Xing, that insolent nouveau riche from the Sun Family in Beijing — as well as his parents, were killed by Ling Yun!

“Don’t ask me how I know these things. You know I have my ways. Elder Murong, do you think Ling Yun would care about money?

“What’s five billion yuan more or five billion yuan less with such status? They’re all just numbers…”

Song Zhengyang didn’t treat Murong Wenshi as an outsider, he told him what he really thought.

“Why was I not aware of all this?” Murong Wenshi asked strangely as he touched the now non-existent scar on his head.

“You were still in the hospital then, while Feixue was busy taking care of you in the hospital and managing the Tianxi Pavilion. How could you two possibly be aware?

“You stayed indoors after you were discharged from the hospital because of the ugly scar. Moreover, you lost in the stone gambling event recently. Who would have the heart to tell you all this?”

Song Zhengyang finished what he wanted to say and motioned for them to return into the room. “I’ve told you all I should. Decide what you want to give, I really can’t help you.”

Murong Wenshi pulled him back again. “I would have never thought Ling Yun would grow so much in a month…”

There are so many more things that you haven’t thought of, Elder Murong. Song Zhengyang snickered, thinking to himself.

“Did he really kill Sun Xing and his parents?” Murong Wenshi clarified, thinking about Ling Yun’s current strength.

To be able to do that without the Sun Family exacting revenge spoke volumes.

A smart person would be able to deduce that Ling Yun had such a strong background that even the Sun Family didn’t dare touch him!

“I’ll give you my whole Pearl Jade Court if I uttered any falsehood!” Song Zhengyang said half-jokingly, beaming with confidence.

“I didn’t think… that this young lad was so ruthless…” Murong Wenshi shook his head.

“It’s not about him being ruthless. You don’t know what happened. If you’re not worried about Ling Yun sitting in your office for a bit, I’ll tell you the whole story. I can tell you one thing now. You would also have killed them if you were in Ling Yun’s shoes!” Song Zhengyang said.

Murong Wenshi nodded but didn’t continue this topic. He roughly understood the type of person Ling Yun was now. “Brother Song, you have yet to tell me what I should give to Ling Yun as a congratulatory gift!”

“Elder Murong, you’re making things difficult for me. You’re the one who wants to give him something to thank him. You have to decide on what yourself. What I told you just now was just a guide,” Song Zhengyang replied heartily.

“Ling Yun wouldn’t think it too petty if you give him ten million yuan, or if you’re willing, you can even give him your Tianxi Pavilion. I don’t have any say in it…”

“Are you trying to make a fool out of me? My life and the scar are just worth ten million yuan? What a joke!”

Song Zhengyang knew that Murong Wenshi was all about pride. “Don’t you still have a Tianxi Pavilion…” He laughed, gently reminding him.

Murong Wenshi frowned. “Brother Song, it’s not that I’m not willing to part with the Tianxi Pavilion, but this is the foundation of our family. It’s impossible to give this away…”

Your precious granddaughter is about to fly into his arms, what foundation are you worried about? Song Zhengyang asked in his heart. “I do have an idea if you’re really keen on my recommendation…”

“What is it?” Murong Wenshi asked excitedly.

“I heard that you have a family heirloom. It seemed to be an imperial jade seal of an ancient emperor and is named the Heavenly Seal. Is that true?”

Murong Wenshi trembled when he heard what Song Zhengyang had to offer. “You gambling addict, don’t you just have your eyes on our heirloom!”

“It must be real from your expressions then? I’d give this to Ling Yun if I were you…” Song Zhengyang ignored what Murong Wenshi said.

“That’s…” Murong Wenshi couldn’t speak. That was the heirloom of the Murong Family, how could he just give it away?

“Brother Song, you have given me a difficult problem…” The crease between Murong Wenshi’s forehead ran deep.

“See, I thought you wanted my recommendation. Now that I gave you my recommendation, you aren’t willing to part with it. What a tough role!” Song Zhengyang laughed bitterly.

Song Zhengyang was masterful, he checkmated Murong Wenshi without him noticing!

“But, but I’m leaving that Heavenly Seal for my dear Feixue…” Murong Wenshi blurted out the hard truth.

I might as well enlighten him! Song Zhengyang thought to himself.

“Elder Murong, are you getting old? Your granddaughter addressed Ling Yun as her boyfriend, didn’t you hear it?”

“Feixue was using Ling Yun as a shield against the two nouveau riches. It can’t be taken seriously,” Murong Wenshi stated matter-of-factly.

“You don’t need to remind me of that, I saw it as well. However, that might have been the case in the beginning, but what about now? Ling Yun said he was Feixue’s boyfriend after you were cured. Think back carefully, what was Feixue’s reaction?”

Song Zhengyang was observing everything in silence. Nothing escaped his eyes.

“You mean… This is a pretense that turned into reality? Feixue is starting to like Ling Yun?” Murong Wenshi asked with a twinkle in his eye.

“I guarantee it!” Song Zhengyang said joyously. “When Ling Yun said he wanted nothing and was about to leave, what did Feixue do? What kind of look did she have?”

“Let’s not dive into that. I say, would you like Ling Yun if you were a woman?”

Was there a need to ask? Murong Wenshi nodded subconsciously nonetheless.

“So what’s there to consider? Your precious granddaughter will be marrying him, so why do you care about that silly imperial jade seal?” Song Zhengyang hammered the final blow after seeing how he had finally gotten through to Murong Wenshi.

“Alright!” Murong Wenshi answered decisively.

“Let me tell you the truth. You will definitely thank me in the future for this. A jade in exchange for a close relationship with Ling Yun, you’re definitely losing nothing over this! The interest will come back to you a thousandfold!”

Song Zhengyang then lowered his voice and leaned over to Murong Wenshi’s ear. “However, this imperial jade seal should be given in this manner…”

“What do you think? Isn’t that a good way?” Song Zhengyang patted Murong Wenshi’s shoulders when he was done.

Murong Wenshi was elated and approved of the idea. “Yes, you should have told me this earlier.”

They gazed at each other and walked back into the office with their arms linked.

What greeted them was only Ling Yun and Feixue.

Zhu Yongwang and Hou Yaozong had been proved so wrong today and knew they had no place to stay.

As for Tang Meng, he wasn’t about to stay there as a third wheel. He excused himself to the bathroom when he had the chance.

“Grandpa, where did you go? Why did you come back only after so long?” Murong Feixue’s poor heart leaped around like a little deer while she accompanied Ling Yun alone. The blush on her face reddened as time passed. She almost couldn’t take it anymore.

Ling Yun was as per normal. He didn’t initiate anything, and the two of them just sat there quietly with the tea. Ling Yun enjoyed the ambiguous atmosphere.

That was the feeling of conquest. He had to make Murong Feixue fall for him completely!

“Ahem ahem, Grandpa went out for a stroll with your Uncle Song…” Murong Wenshi was delighted at the current atmosphere between the two. They should have come back later!

Murong Wenshi looked at his precious granddaughter and then looked affectionately at Ling Yun. “Ling Yun, Grandpa prepared a gift for you for saving my life. However, this gift isn’t on me. How about having Feixue take you home to retrieve it?”

Murong Wenshi was obviously talking about the Heavenly Seal, the Murong Family’s heirloom.

“You’re a couple now, there’s no need to avoid suspicion…” Murong Wenshi added deliberately.

Murong Feixue flushed a deep red, unable to lift her head. However, she didn’t rebut.

Ling Yun shook his head calmly and decisively. “Grandpa Murong, there’s really no need. I don’t want a gift. If you really feel bad about it, how about you just give me that ornamental stone?”
