Romantic Medical Immortal

Yang Cheng hesitated. With Cheng Ruonan’s strength, dealing with an ordinary cultivator was indeed no problem. But against a master like Chi Ren, she was definitely not a match.

"Don’t hesitate. If you don’t go, who knows how long it will take to finish the Sun Golden Wheel. Once a conflict with the Gong Family arises, we will still be at a disadvantage. It’s better to take a gamble. You can go to Linzhou with peace of mind, and if things don’t go well, we’ll leave Zhonghai first."

Kong Lingwen patiently persuaded.

She was very aware that the current calm was just an illusion. The storm could hit at any time. Before that happened, they needed to be fully prepared.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let Ruonan stay with you. I’ll go to Linzhou with Ms. Qi Yue. Call me if anything happens."

Yang Cheng tightly held her hand, as if this gave him some peace of mind.

Not long after, Xu Yicheng and Qin Shuhui came out of the kitchen, placing steaming dishes on the table.

"The dishes are ready. Eat while they’re hot and taste our cooking."

Qin Shuhui smiled warmly, using shared chopsticks to serve food for the two, quickly piling their bowls into little mountains.

After the meal, the elderly couple reluctantly saw them off at the door, reminding them, "Lin Wen, get along well with Xiaochen, and don’t always have a little temper."

"Grandpa and Grandma, who is actually your granddaughter? Why do you always seem to favor him!"

Kong Lingwen pouted her red lips in dissatisfaction, even turning to glare at Yang Cheng.

He looked innocent. Perhaps he truly was loved by everyone, flowers blooming at his sight. The elderly couple couldn’t praise him enough, thinking that any conflict between the two was definitely Kong Lingwen’s fault.

Being too excellent can indeed be a problem!

The two of them laughed and got into the car, heading straight back to the Kong Family Villa.

As soon as they entered, Kong Lingchuan stood up abruptly and quickly greeted them, "Sis, why didn’t you answer your phone? Don’t do that next time, we were worried sick."

"Sorry, my phone was on silent, and I didn’t see it. I made you worry."

Kong Lingwen sincerely apologized.

Upon hearing this, Kong Lingchuan’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kong Lingwen looked puzzled.

"Sis, you actually apologized? I thought you’d just slap me aside."

This was Kong Lingchuan’s heartfelt remark. He had been at odds with his sister from a young age, not just because they were half-siblings, but mainly because she never showed him a friendly face. Whatever he said or did, he risked a beating.

After growing up, he just wanted to suppress Kong Lingwen, reacting extremely when their father chose her as the Family Head.

Now he realized, no matter how bad his sister was, she was still family by blood, someone who would unhesitatingly help him in times of trouble.

"You brat, I’m not as fierce as you say."

Kong Lingwen glared at him, then walked straight inside and sat on the sofa.

Kong Lingchuan immediately followed, cautiously saying, "Sis, I have something to ask you."

"Just say it."

"I want to bring my mom out of the Cao Family. She’s done many foolish things, but she’s my mom. I’m worried she might be mistreated there. I want to rent a place for her and hire a caregiver. Is that okay?"

Kong Lingchuan finished speaking with some trepidation, not daring to look at Kong Lingwen’s expression.

Everyone present knew Kong Lingwen’s birth mother was angered to death by Cao Yumei and naturally wouldn’t tolerate that woman living well.

Kong Lingwen looked deeply at Kong Lingchuan, her voice cold, "Arrange her far away. I don’t want to see her. If it wasn’t for her giving birth to a son for the Kong Family, I wouldn’t keep her alive."

She really wanted to kill Cao Yumei, but if she did, the sibling pair would have a blood feud, making it difficult to unite and strengthen the Kong Family.

For the future of the Kong Family, she could only allow Cao Yumei to continue living and hope her mother wouldn’t hold it against her.

"Sis, thank you. From now on, I’ll support you unconditionally and follow your every order!"

Kong Lingchuan said emotionally, his eyes slightly reddened.

He knew letting go of that hatred was incredibly difficult for Kong Lingwen.

"Cao Ruibin and the Kong Family are mortal enemies now. It’s not safe for you to go alone. Let Yang Cheng accompany you."

Kong Lingwen still cared for their sibling bond, fearing he would be targeted by Cao Ruibin.

"Brother Cen, can you go with me?"

Kong Lingchuan looked up at Yang Cheng, his expression slightly pitiful.

"For Lin Wen’s sake, I’ll go with you. Let’s go now."

Yang Cheng wanted to leave for Linzhou tomorrow, as the matter couldn’t be delayed. If someone else managed to cure that lady first, he wouldn’t be able to find Sun Essence Gold in the short term.

Without waiting for Kong Lingchuan to agree, Yang Cheng pulled him outside and drove directly towards the Cao Family.

Two weeks ago, the Cao Family’s gate was bustling with activity. Now, it was desolate, and the vast courtyard was unguarded. They got out of the car and walked straight in.

The Cao Family hadn’t left, but their business was severely affected. They couldn’t maintain their luxurious lifestyle and now needed to earn a living themselves.

Seeing Yang Cheng and Kong Lingchuan appear, everyone in the courtyard froze.

A middle-aged woman jumped up, pointed at Kong Lingchuan, and loudly accused, "You heartless bastard, how dare you come to the Cao Family! Your uncle treated you so well, yet you betrayed him and conspired with that bitch Kong Lingwen to kill Zhihao!"

"Auntie, you’re in no position to criticize me. It was my uncle who used me first, trying to poison my dad. Now my father is dead because of him. Our family ties are gone. Cao Zhihao died due to my uncle’s actions. Even without me, he wouldn’t have lived long."

Kong Lingchuan retorted, his sharp eyes focusing on the elderly Cao Ruibin not far away.

"Where’s my mom? I’m taking her away."

He had sent her to the Cao Family before, but after his father passed away, he feared angering Kong Lingwen, so he hadn’t dared to fetch his mother back, though he was worried about her.

"Cao Yumei belongs to the Cao Family. By what right do you take her away?"

Cao Ruibin’s words were directed at Kong Lingchuan, but his vicious gaze was fixed on Yang Cheng.

"She’s my mom! I’m taking her with me today, whether you agree or not. If you don’t hand her over, I’ll find her myself!"

With that, Kong Lingchuan charged straight in.

The Cao Family members tried to stop him, but they couldn’t hold back the strong Kong Lingchuan, let alone the powerful Yang Cheng.

Kong Lingchuan often visited the Cao Family before, so he was familiar with their courtyard. He searched several courtyards but found no sign of his mother.

Then, Yang Cheng’s voice came from beside him, "She’s over there."

He activated his X-ray Vision to locate people and took the lead with large strides. Kong Lingchuan followed without any doubt, and the two ultimately stopped in a dilapidated courtyard.
