644 The New Boss of Green Dragon

Ling Yun activated his divine sense immediately as the bell signaling the end of the exams rang. He cleared all the rubbish knowledge he memorized to obtain high scores in the exams and stood up only after all of it was deleted from his mind.

"Ahem ahem! Ideals can kill!" An icy glare shot out from Ling Yun's eyes.

Ling Yun didn't believe in ideals, he only believed in his own heart!

"Brother-in-law!" Zhuang Meina seemed to address Ling Yun as brother-in-law really quickly after she overcame it the first time. Now, her heart would skip a beat every time she called him that.

Zhuang Meina dreamed countless times of being the character Ah Zi from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. In those dreams, she had an earth-shattering romance with Ling Yun.

"How were the exams? Did you perform well?" Ling Yun teased the blushing Zhuang Meina.

"You're so evil, brother-in-law!" Zhuang Meina came to Ling Yun's side and linked her arms with his boldly. "Don't you know that better than me? Let's go!"

Zhuang Meina had a sweet smile upon her face as they walked.

Chi Xiaoqing exited the classroom early on but didn't leave. She was waiting for Ling Yun to emerge.

"Ling Yun, thank you…" Chi Xiaoqing gave Ling Yun a deep bow when she saw Ling Yun walking out of the classroom.

That was a deep expression of gratitude from within her heart.

"It was nothing, you don't need to say thank you repeatedly. Congratulations, you did well in the exams!" Ling Yun replied to this stunning girl.

Ling Yun had confidence that Chi Xiaoqing could get full marks for at least two subjects — mathematics and foreign language.

"Eh…" Chi Xiaoqing was shocked. She did perform better than usual without the influence of Li Tian, but how did Ling Yun know?"

"Thank you!" Chi Xiaoqing replied politely.

"Big Brother!" Lingyu called out as she came running from her exam hall. Her expression changed visibly for the worse when she saw Zhuang Meina cozying up to Ling Yun.

"Lingyu, how was your exam?" Ling Yun pulled away from Zhuang Meina when he saw her running towards him. He naturally hugged Ning Lingyu's shoulders when she was within range.

"As per normal. Big Brother, let's go, Aunty is still waiting for us…" Ning Lingyu covered up her jealousy well but urged Ling Yun to leave immediately.

"Oh, ok, let's wait for Zhang Ling. She'll be out immediately! Let's go together."

"Chi Xiaoqing, would you like me to give you a lift?" Ling Yun turned towards Chi Xiaoqing.

"No, thank you…" Chi Xiaoqing stared at Ning Lingyu sorrowfully and refused.

She had always prided herself as someone whose beauty and demeanor could rival anyone — that was until Ning Lingyu appeared.

Ling Yun didn't force it upon her. The four of them went downstairs together when Zhang Ling came.

"It's finally overrrrr!"

"I can finally surf the net, chat, watch movies, and play games all day long…"

"Sigh, I did poorly this time. I can only come again next year…"

It was the end of the college entrance examinations. The weight was finally unloaded from these high school students. Some were elated, some were venting, some discussed the exam, some cried in frustration, and some were disappointed in themselves. The campus was bursting with liveliness.

"We've finally graduated, there's no need to grind my nose into the books all day long. I can eat when I want, play when I want, shop when I want. Most importantly, I can finally get rid of that wretched alarm clock and wake up when I feel like it…"

Zhang Ling gnashed her teeth as though the alarm clock by her bedside was her worst enemy.

"Beware of your figure…" Ning Lingyu laughed.

Zhang Ling reddened and stole a glance at Ling Yun. She said nothing else about the matter.

"Lingyu, what… what will you do over summer vacation?" Zhuang Meina saw Ning Lingyu many times during the exam period since she was in the same classroom as Ling Yun. She had to find something to talk to Lingyu about to try to get on her good side.

"Um, I'll listen to Big Brother and go wherever he goes…" Ning Lingyu said lightly.

Ling Yun didn't say anything, but the most important thing to Ning Lingyu now was to focus on cultivating, not follow him all around in his ventures.

The four of them came to the car in no time as they chatted. Qin Dongxue was there waiting for them.

The car to pick Zhuang Meina up was also near them. Zhuang Meina seemed to be slightly afraid of Qin Dongxue. She went over to say hi to Qin Dongxue and then said goodbye to Ling Yun tearfully before going to her own car.

"Hehe, Big Brother Yun, how was it? Do you have the confidence to get into Yanjing University?"

Tang Meng threw away a cigarette butt and walked over. Tie Xiaohu and him were responsible for Ling Yun's transport these past two days.

Ling Yun, Ning Lingyu, and Qin Dongxue had been in Tang Meng's car. Tang Meng was left alone with Qin Dongxue when Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu were taking their exams. Tang Meng didn't dare to stay in the car alone with Qin Dongxue, so he would smoke under a tree or go to Tie Xiaohu's car to discuss matters of importance with him.

"I'm not the one marking the paper, how would I know? It's over anyway…" Ling Yun replied nonchalantly.

"Please do. We still have a hundred million yuan at stake. We have to win it…"

"I knew it! You're worried about that one hundred million yuan. Don't worry, it's ours!" Ling Yun said with a laugh.

Tang Meng finally smiled in relief.

"Alright, stop smiling like a fool there. Let's go home first."

The temperature in Qingshui City was currently close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It was a free sauna. Ling Yun didn't want to stay there a moment longer.

Everyone got into the car and left Fifth High. They sent Zhang Ling home first and then headed back to Mansion Number One.

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu went to their rooms simultaneously the minute they arrived home. They wanted to bathe desperately.

Ling Yun went over to his Shichiyou herb instead. He looked upon his Shichiyou herb. The seventh yellow spot of maturity was beginning to show. He collected the spiritual condensate eagerly. It filled two boxes, making them the eleventh and twelfth boxes respectively.

"This sun is great… It's as though there are two suns…"

Just two more days and his Shichiyou herb would finally mature.

Ling Yun could feel the density of the spiritual energy from the Shichiyou herb. He continued on to the third box this time before returning to the villa.

Aunt Mei adjusted the air conditioner, making sure it was nice and cool inside.

"The stupid college entrance examinations are finally over, so freaking troublesome…" Ling Yun said with disdain as he waved to Aunt Mei, who was steeping tea for him, and then sat comfortably on the sofa.

"Hehe, Big Brother Yun, you can earn a total of one hundred million yuan in two and a half days. This is quite a good deal, you can make more of such deals in the future…" Tang Meng said carelessly.

"Rubbish, it's about twenty days, including the three days of exams!" Ling Yun glared.

Aunt Mei brought the tea she prepared over and smiled at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun grumbled about the college entrance examinations for a short while and then started discussing important things with Tang Meng.

"Luckily, both of you are here today. Tie Xiaohu won't have the time to manage Green Dragon now. Tang Meng, have you found the right name for the job yet?"

"Big Brother Yun, I think there's one who is quite befitting…" Tang Meng answered sternly.

"Oh? Who is it?" Ling Yun sat up interestedly. He didn't think Tang Meng would be able to find someone suitable so soon.

"Big Brother Yun, Abing has been with me for some time. I feel he's a good candidate…" Tang Meng nodded.

Abing's image floated in Ling Yun's mind immediately.

Standing 180 centimeters, he might be slim, but his physique looked strong. His eyes were cold and sharp. There was always a cigarette in his mouth. He was smart and eloquent, but he rarely spoke. He handled things in a mature way as well.

"Hmm… That guy is indeed quite suitable…" Ling Yun muttered.

He continued, "However, there are three points of contention. One, didn't you say he's of military background? Can someone related to the military become the boss of a gang? Second, is Abing loyal? Third, even if he does have some experience, will he be able to handle the hot-blooded lads in Green Dragon?"

Ling Yun got straight to the point.

"Big Brother Yun, your first question is strictly not a question. Someone like Abing is the best candidate to be the head of a gang. That's because he grew up in that environment, he definitely won't have any problems with management. It will also ease our access to guns…

"Second, with regards to loyalty. Big Brother Yun, with you, Tie Xiaohu, and me, there's no need to fear anyone playing tricks. Abing was so amazed at your clinic opening! Also, I grew up with him. I know him well, he won't play dirty tricks…

"Lastly, Abing was thrown into special training by his father often when he was inside. He could fight six ordinary folks without a problem. You can impart him a skill or two if you're really worried."

Ling Yun's worries were settled by Tang Meng's logical reasoning. "Seems like you've decided for some time. Alright, bring him over tonight." Ling Yun smiled.

"Hehe, I did shortlist him quite some time ago, I just didn't have the time to tell you…" Tang Meng said.Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, or Eight Books of the Heavenly Dragon, is a popular wuxia novel by Jin Yong
