Chapter 37：The Martial Arts Competition (1/2)

He had essentially solved the crux of Ling Yu's disease.

Therefore, not only was Ling Yu's illness healed completely, but his body was also much healthier than before.

”It's all thanks to you, Mr. Lu, that Xiao-yu finally recovered from his heart disease!” Ling Huang could hardly contain his excitement. ”You might not know this, but this illness has tormented Xiao-yu for many years. I almost thought that he would stay like this for the rest of his life, but you've healed him, Mr. Lu!”

On his side, Ling Fei looked thrilled as well. Ling Yu's illness was a joint ache weighing on their hearts.

Now, the weight had finally been lifted from their minds.

”In that case, I shall take my leave then!” Lu Xuan stood up and said.

”Yes, I'll arrange for a chauffeur to send you home!” Ling Huang said without skipping a beat.

Ling Fei, who was standing at the side, seemed like she wanted to say something. However, she said nothing in the end.

After they sent Lu Xuan off, Ling Fei went to find Ling Huang.

”Dad, I would like to learn martial arts!” Ling Fei stated.

”You're a lady. Why learn martial arts!” Ling Huang frowned.

Ling Fei tried to convince him, ”Dad, as you can see, the world is different from the past. You have also seen just how much benefit a powerful cultivator can bring!

”My brother will inherit the Ling Group in the future. By learning martial arts, I can better protect our assets. Both Mr. Lu or Brother Lin mentioned that what lies ahead is a glorious era for cultivators. If no one in the Ling family cultivates, aren't we just waiting to be trampled on?” Ling Fei pressed further in her pitch.

Ling Huang looked long and hard at Ling Fei before letting out a sigh. He could, of course, see his daughter's intentions and the real reason why she suddenly wanted to practice martial arts.

However, matters of the heart were not something he could interfere with. If the other party had been a regular guy or even a poor youth, it would actually be much easier.

He, Ling Huang, only managed to accumulate such wealth after striving for decades in the business world. Need he even rely on setting up his daughter for a political marriage to bring in even more money?

What's the use of earning so much money? To bring it into his coffin?

Therefore, from his point of view, money was never a hindrance. It was okay even if the other party was not that outstanding. So long as his daughter liked him, that would be enough.

On the contrary, it was that the other party was too outstanding. Even he would need to treat that person as their most esteemed guest. Using the words of Lin Sheng, such powerhouses would be gods in the Inner Palace, and one could already imagine how respectful regular people would be of him.

To such a man, money and power would be delivered to him on a silver platter if that was what he truly wanted. To such persons, their wealth would be utterly meaningless.

It is like a tiger trying to eat a porcupine with no avail. There was simply nothing that could be done.

However, putting himself in his daughter's shoes, he understood that his daughter was now a grown woman. She had always been picky about people and had always ignored most ordinary folk. It was rare that she actually set her eyes on someone, and so, he was hesitant to stop her.

”Since you're keen to learn, you should learn from the best. There is one place I can send you to train in cultivation!” Ling Huang bit his inner cheeks and gave his consent. He thought of that place. He had gone through a lot to cut himself clean from that place, but for the sake of his daughter, he must now return.

”That's great!” Ling Fei was elated, and her long ponytail swayed behind her in the same cheer.

Xing Chen Bay Residence. Even though Lu Xuan had not returned for days, the place was as clean as ever.

With the spiritual formation laid by Lu Xuan in place, dust couldn't gather and settle.

However, before Lu Xuan could settle down, a phone call broke the peaceful quiet.
