Chapter 243: Chapter 239: The RV from the Jiang Family After leaving Qingyun Martial Arts Hall, it was already past four in the afternoon. Ling Chen had stayed in the practice room for a solid five hours, yet he didn’t feel the passage of time at all. It has to be said, Inner Strength cultivation is a very magical thing. Back at the company, Ling Chen didn’t forget Nanrong Wanqing’s instructions; he stayed holed up in the security department office without coming out, to avoid bumping into Jiang Ying. Although there were hundreds of people in the company, it was still possible to run into her. He only breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the workday and drove back to Wealthy Manor with Nanrong Wanqing. In the car, looking at Nanrong Wanqing beside him, Ling Chen scratched his head, mustering up courage a few times, but just as quickly he chickened out, looking like he had more to say but hesitated. His odd behavior finally caught Nanrong Wanqing’s attention, who asked curiously, "What’s wrong with you?" "Nothing... nothing!" Ling Chen forced a smile and nervously shifted his gaze out of the car window, still thinking about what He Ziyun had said. Damn, to advance in Inner Strength, one has to lose their virginity, and for a perennial virgin, it’s really not an easy matter. When He Ziyun mentioned this, Nanrong Wanqing was the first person to come to his mind, but now when it came to it, he couldn’t utter a single word. Although he had established a relationship with Nanrong Wanqing, with her traditional thinking, it was probably not going to be easy to persuade her. After thinking back and forth, he eventually discarded the idea. His skin may be thick, but there were some things he just couldn’t bring himself to say. Upon arriving at 118 Wealthy Manor, as soon as they got out of the car, Nanrong Hao came running over excitedly, calling out loudly, "Sister, Chen." Ling Chen smiled, patting his shoulder and said, "You finally got out, kid. How was it inside, they didn’t give you a hard time, did they?" "No, Officer Xia took good care of me, there were no difficulties." Seeing her brother returning safe and sound, Nanrong Wanqing’s frown relaxed, she smiled faintly and nodded lightly, "It’s good that you are fine." To celebrate Nanrong Hao’s return home, Nanny Wang specially prepared a lavish dinner, even Nanrong Yong made a rare appearance to join the fun, with the family getting along well and happily. Two days went by. Ling Chen was feeling very frustrated; he had been training hard these two days, immersing himself in the cultivation of Internal Cultivation Methods whenever he had time. However, it was proven that what He Ziyun said was true. No matter how he cultivated, the Inner Strength in his Dantian did not grow and remained stagnant. Without breaking the physical limitations, there’s no hope of advancing further in Internal Cultivation Methods. That day, after dropping Nanrong Wanqing at the office, Ling Chen slipped away to the security department, putting his feet up and enjoying the leisure time. "Elder Ling, if you’re not busy, why don’t you join me for a patrol outside, it’s not good to stay cooped up in the office all the time." "Brother Wei, since you’ve said so, how could I refuse? Let’s go!" Leaving the office, Ling Chen and Wei Jun were about to step outside. But at that moment, Ling Chen’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pushed Wei Jun in front to block his own body. Wei Jun was a bit stunned and said: "Elder Ling, what is this..." "Be quiet." Ling Chen looked up, his gaze going past Wei Jun’s shoulder, looking at Jiang Ying who had just came out of the elevator not far away, and silently breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he reacted quickly and noticed her in time. If she had caught him, Nanrong Wanqing would probably be very troubled. However, beyond relief, Ling Chen’s eyes also held a hint of puzzlement. After Jiang Ying came out of the elevator, she hurried along with an anxious look on her face, seeming to have encountered some vexing issue. Employees passing by greeted her, but she seemed not to hear, her eyes fixed on the outside. Sensing something off about her, Ling Chen couldn’t help feeling curious. Jiang Ying was a conservative person with strong principles; this could be deduced from the rules set by her department. It was now working hours, yet she wasn’t in her office but instead going out, with a look of urgency on her face—a sign that it was probably no small matter. If it had been before, he definitely wouldn’t have meddled, but now that he knew about Jiang Ying’s relationship with Nanrong Wanqing, he couldn’t just overlook it. "Big Brother Wei, you go ahead with your work, I’ve got something to attend to." After saying that, without waiting for Wei Jun to respond, he had already caught up with Jiang Ying’s pace and quickly left the company. Arriving at the roadside, a Mercedes-Benz van slowly approached and stopped by the curb. Following that, Jiang Ying walked over to the van, opened the door, and sat inside. The moment the door was opened, the sharp-eyed Ling Chen noticed a young man sitting inside the vehicle, clad in a casual suit. The youth was in his twenties, with handsome and well-defined features, and short hair dyed white, resembling a delinquent from society. Moreover, his attractive face was expressionless, like someone with facial paralysis. Watching the van blend into the traffic, Ling Chen gave chase for a few steps and glanced at the van’s license plate, frowning slightly. That van did not have a local license plate, and from the letters at the beginning of the plate number, it was evident that the van came from Yangcheng. Yangcheng, the Jiang Family! The only people who could make Jiang Ying behave so oddly were probably members of the Jiang Family. Nanrong Wanqing had told him that there had never been any interaction between the Jiang Family and the Nanrong Family, and Jiang Ying had also been expelled from the Jiang Family. So why would someone from the Jiang Family suddenly seek out Jiang Ying? Thinking of these things, he felt vaguely uneasy. Night fell. After dinner, with nothing to do, Ling Chen decided to pop over to the neighboring villa to chat with Nanrong Hao. Upon reaching the door, before even entering, he saw Nanrong Hao touching his glossy hair, coming out from inside the house. "Brother Chen?" Upon seeing Ling Chen, Nanrong Hao smiled, "You looking for me for something?" "What’s with this flashy getup? Where are you headed?" "Hao and Xiong found out I was out and insisted on treating me to a fun night." "Where’s the fun gonna be had?" Nanrong Hao scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "That uh... Emperor Foot Bath, you know the place." "Look at you, all set to go out and enjoy life just after getting out." "Can’t really turn down an invitation like that. Hey, Brother Chen, you interested? We could go together?" "I..." Ling Chen was about to decline, but then he thought, since he hadn’t found the opportunity to lose his virginity, perhaps he should try out such a place. He Ziyun had said, after all, everyone was an adult and there was nothing embarrassing about this kind of thing. Besides, he was doing this to enhance his own strength, not for the sake of indulgence; surely Nanrong Wanqing wouldn’t blame him. With this in mind, he gave a light cough and said earnestly, "You need to start taking life seriously, kid. I need to keep an eye on you for your sister’s sake, and I can’t let you get into trouble." "Of course." Nanrong Hao snickered slyly, easily reading Ling Chen’s mind, but he didn’t expose him. Clearly wanting to have fun, yet too shy to say it outright and using himself as a shield—Brother Chen sure seemed to be someone with thin skin. Departing from the Nanrong residence, the two men got into Nanrong Hao’s Audi and headed straight for their destination. It took them less than half an hour to arrive outside a luxurious foot bath city, the Emperor Foot Bath. (My brothers and sisters, your continued recommendations would be my downfall.
