Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 188 The Three Young Masters of the Ling Family

Everyone loves beauty. Looking at his appearance, he is quite honest and does not hide anything. He is a good boy.

Meng Xianyu: "Mr. Ling is also extraordinary and elegant."

Ling Chuan is indeed very handsome and a bit cute. He is a good-looking brother in terms of height, figure and appearance.

In terms of appearance, Meng Xianyu should be given an eight. The other two points were deducted for being childish and silly.

Ling Chuan is just a young boy who has not yet grown out of his childishness, still with a bit of childishness and harmless silliness.

Ling Chuan: "No, no, compared to you two, I am really far behind. I wonder where you two studied before, and why you came to the city now?"

Ling Chuan looked harmless, but Meng Xianyu didn't dare to believe him easily.

Meng Xianyu: "To be honest, Master Ling, my master has been in seclusion for many years. Now he only has a dozen disciples around him. It is really inconvenient to reveal. I went into the city today to look for someone."

Ling Chuan: "I am sorry for being so rude. If you two want to go into the city, you can go with me and you don't have to wait here. If you two want to look for someone, I can also help you."

Meng Xianyu: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Ling."

Ling Chuan was too enthusiastic, and Meng Xianyu was a little overwhelmed. Since she could go into the city earlier with him, she would be more than welcome. If she continued to queue, it would take at least another half an hour.

Anyway, let's go into the city first. Since Ling Chuan took the initiative to ask, and the two of them really want to go into the city, why not take a ride.

Before entering the city, Meng Xianyu had already had a preliminary understanding of Bingcheng. The guardian Yufan had already told them in advance about some forces that they needed to pay attention to in Bingcheng, as well as some people that they should not offend.

Meng Xianyu had always thought that the word "Ice City" had no meaning, but unexpectedly, the word "Ice City" was written as "Cheng" on the tower. It seemed that there was a story behind it.

This Dingcheng is not the only entrance to Shuitian College, there are other counties around that can connect to Shuitian College. But this Dingcheng is definitely the most popular choice.

This city of Yan also has a contact point for the sacrificial lineage. There are now three contact points. This is so that if one point is discovered, there are other alternatives. Three points is just right, not too many, not too few.

One is an inconspicuous inn called Yunlai Inn. The inn is small, and the chef is good, so the profit is still good.

One is a medicine shop, which is run by the subordinates of Zhuji Protector. It is called a medicine shop. This name is very random.

The name of the Zhuji guardian is too unreliable. But his subordinates are quite reliable. Otherwise, the shopkeeper simply changed the name and called it Gu Yijian.

There is another place, a rouge and powder shop called Peiyuefang. The proprietress is a charming woman with two children under ten years old.

The inn was crowded and not suitable for Meng Xianyu and her friends to stay for a long time. According to the original plan, they should go directly to the medicine shop, change clothes, and go to Peiyuefang. The quiet place was the most suitable for them to live there permanently.

The guardian Yufan left eight subordinates with them, and they had all entered the city first.

Of these eight people, two went to the inn to work as waiters, two went to the medicine shop to work as apprentices, and two went to the shop next to Peiyuefang to work as odd jobs. The remaining two secretly protected them.

The rest were arranged by the Dharma Protector Yufan outside the county. After arranging everything, the Dharma Protector Yufan went into seclusion. He did not leave for the time being. For him, it made no difference where he went into seclusion. He left two guards at the place of seclusion. The rest stayed outside the city.

He went into seclusion to heal his wounds, and came out about once a month to rest for three to five days. If nothing happened, he would continue his seclusion, but if something happened, he would end it early.

He wanted to wait until Meng Xianyu and the others were relatively safe before deciding whether to stay or go. If Meng Xianyu and the others were not successful in this trip, he could still provide support here.

The original plan to go into the city today was disrupted. Meng Xianyu hinted to Wu Na not to worry.

Wu Na believed that Meng Xianyu could handle the matter well, she just didn't like Ling Chuan who suddenly appeared.

It’s obvious that the person with the surname Ling has a background.

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na already knew that those surnames with two water drops next to them, such as Leng, Liang, Ling, Xian, and Feng, all had some background.

Although it may not be 100%, it is probably about 80% to 90%.

This Lingchuan Master's attire may seem low-key, but it is actually luxurious. Even his subordinates are all very well-dressed.

If I reject his invitation now, it will be even more troublesome when we meet next time.

Ling Chuan is a talkative person. Once he starts talking, he can talk nonstop.

Ever since Meng Xianyu and the other two got on his carriage, he has been talking excitedly non-stop.

Along the way, he enthusiastically introduced the local customs and culture.

Meng Xianyu and the others just need to respond from time to time.

Originally, Yufan and the others had already briefly introduced themselves to Meng Xianyu and the others.

It's just that there are some things that are hard for them to know.

Lingchuan is different. He was born and raised here and knows a lot of things that others don’t know.

Meng Xianyu listened with great interest, but Wu Na did not feel very good.

The things Lingchuan said were much more interesting than those told by storytellers.

Originally, Lingchuan invited them to a small gathering at his house.

But Meng Xianyu and the others had other plans, so they rejected Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan had no choice but to tell them the location of his villa and asked them to go and have a drink with him when they were free.

I don't know why Ling Chuan is so warm and hospitable. After a chat, Ling Chuan has become a brother to the two of them.

If it weren't for Meng Xianyu's murderous look, Ling Chuan would have already put his arm on Meng Xianyu's shoulders.

This killing look scared Ling Chuan. He thought Meng Xianyu was a good person to talk to, but he didn't expect she was also a powerful one.

Ling Chuan put away the thought of linking arms with the other, but he was secretly delighted because the two people in front of him were indeed very different from the people he usually interacted with.

He just wanted to prove to his family that he, Ling Chuan, also had friends who truly loved him. He was not a lazy person.

His grandfather always said that birds of a feather flock together. Meng Xianyu and the other two were generous, elegant, and had extraordinary temperaments. Needless to say, their appearance was outstanding.

Ling Chuan decided to take them both down. He wanted to become their best friend. He wanted to prove to his grandfather that he also had a confidant and could take on important responsibilities. He had more than just one childhood playmate.

Actually, it’s not Lingchuan’s fault.

His parents rarely take care of him, and he usually lives with his grandparents.

My grandfather practiced in seclusion all year round and only came out once every few years.

My grandmother was busy with business and also traveled around.

His father was too busy with his work to care about his feelings.

His mother had to take care of the family's affairs and run the business.

His father has an elder brother, his uncle, who is now the head of the Ling family. His uncle has two elder brothers, who are more than a dozen years older than him.

In this family, Ling Chuan seems to be the most favored young master, but he is also the least noticed person.

He had everything he needed for food, clothing and daily necessities, but he seemed to have a hard time fitting into this family.

He seemed to be the most useless, least contributing, and even dispensable person in this family. All he could do was to go out and do evil things by relying on his status as the young master of the Ling family.

He was tired of such a life. He got into trouble just to get more attention.

But if you cause too much trouble, it's not just about seeking attention. Instead, it will make people hate you.

In the end, some things that he didn't do were blamed on him by others. He didn't argue. No one believed him anyway.

This time he went out, it was more to avoid disaster than to gain experience.

This mishap alarmed my grandfather and my maternal grandfather's family.

Only after the matter was investigated and proved to have nothing to do with him did he dare to come back.

This time, he didn't want to be a devil anymore. He didn't want to be a fool who took the blame for others. He didn't want to be a second-generation rich man who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

The first thing he had to do was to stay away from those bad friends and make some new friends seriously.

My grandmother said that only when you give sincerely can you get sincere return. You need to be sincere to make friends. But you have to be careful and not make friends with just anyone.

During this journey, Ling Chuan was looking for the right person. He also tried to communicate with different people. But some people would avoid him, and some would just say a few polite words to him. There was no one who could talk to him happily.

Ling Chuan finally caught two people who looked pleasing to the eye and with whom he could chat, and he would definitely not miss them.

This was Ling Chuan's subjective feeling. At least, Meng Xianyu and the others knew how to respect him and were even willing to listen to his old gossip.

Lingchuan sent Meng Xianyu and the others to Yunlai Inn.

Ling Chuan accompanied the two of them into the inn and still refused to leave.

Meng Xianyu: "Brother Ling, thank you very much today. Once my two brothers and I are settled and everything is done, I will go to visit you at your house."

Ling Chuan was not stupid, and he could see that Meng Xianyu was ordering him to leave.

Although he has many friends, few of them are to his liking.

Although Meng Xianyu spoke to him politely, she was not flattering at all, and even raised questions on many topics. This kind of Meng Xianyu made Lingchuan more interested.

Originally, he was very curious about both of them, especially Wu Na's attitude of not wanting strangers to approach her. But after getting to know her, he found that he was more interested in Meng Xianyu than before.

Wu Na's aloofness made him curious, but Meng Xianyu's words and actions shocked him greatly.

Ling Chuan secretly decided that he had to take down these two people.

The elders in the family always told him to go out and make some decent friends and not to hang out with those bad friends.

Those people were sycophants and opportunists. When he really needed help, none of them was willing to help him.

Since childhood, Ling Chuan has gotten into a lot of trouble, many of which were instigated by the people around him.

Ling Chuan has a simple mind and is easily taken advantage of when he gets angry.
