Chapter 95

It's only three days until the full moon night!

Since visiting the Zhuge family, Ling Xiao hasn't done anything these days except study sword techniques at home! He's still using that "Heavenly Flying Immortal" book, which, in his view, is no different from a children's basic textbook. At least children's primers have pinyin; this thing is even worse, with no punctuation marks at all except for the cover!

Practicing sword techniques is a headache. Without guidance from a senior master, it's impossible to spot the subtle differences in movements. Facing a sword manual with no annotations at all, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Ling Xiao also has a master, and his sword technique is very powerful! But everyone knows the situation with Ling Lingfa. This completely unreplicable process is meaningless. They can't just have Ling Xiao get struck by lightning, can they!

"Sure enough, fairy tales are all lies! Those protagonists who become invincible just by getting a secret manual are definitely bluffing! How can you gain anything without paying a price? Even Star Lord had to be pushed to the sky by the Fire Cloud Demon to understand the Buddha Palm! Maybe we should also find a chance to get beaten up?" Ling Xiao muttered to himself in the courtyard of the clinic, sounding like a madman.

"Xiao Ling! Where is your master? He's always like this these days, always going missing. It looks like he needs a good beating!" His master's wife's words brought the slightly obsessed Ling Xiao back to his senses.

Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "Master, he has a big plan recently. It should be happening soon! When the time comes, you'll be pleasantly surprised!"

"Smiling so slyly! You're not learning anything good from your master!" His master's wife shook her head and walked away, but the anticipation in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

Ling Xiao looked at his master's wife's back and felt a lot of emotions. Recalling last night, Ling Lingfa's words were still ringing in his ears.

"I'm tired and want to rest a bit!"

This was the first thing Ling Lingfa said when he forcefully knocked on Ling Xiao's door at midnight. But before he could even put on a serious expression, Ling Xiao ignored him.

"Do you know what time it is? Even Zhou Bapi doesn't come to talk at midnight like you!" Ling Xiao roared.

Ling Lingfa put his finger to his lips and whispered, "Shh! Be quiet, your master's wife is already asleep!"

"Are you kidding? You know someone is sleeping! I need to catch up on my sleep too. If I don't sleep well, I'll get pimples!" Ling Xiao's mouth twitched as he said helplessly.

Ling Lingfa's face turned serious, "What are you afraid of! I'm a doctor, and pimples are easy to treat."

Ling Xiao's face was filled with indignation, "My face doesn't bleed regularly, so I don't dare to use you!"

"Is that so? Forget it. Come inside and talk." Ling Lingfa said with a regretful look as he entered the room first.

"Go on, what's so urgent! I'll do it!" Ling Xiao said through gritted teeth.

Ling Lingfa thought for a moment and said, "I plan to have a child."

"Stop!" Ling Xiao raised his hand to interrupt, grabbed a pillow from the bed, and hugged it, then waved his hand, "Go on."

Seeing Ling Xiao's sleepy appearance, Ling Lingfa didn't mind and continued, "I'm very busy now, with endless worries every day. Although being favored by the Emperor is what I've always dreamed of, over time I've inevitably neglected your master's wife.

Do you remember that stormy night? When your mother-in-law heard that you were granted a marriage by the Emperor, the tone of her surprise and the sarcastic look she gave me didn't escape my notice, even though your master's wife didn't care much. She was envious!

I have loved your master's wife for many years and have made her suffer for many years! Your master's wife really likes children. Just look at how she treats Li Yingjiong. I also want a child, but I'm afraid.

In the past, I was not successful, and even the research funds for weapons had to be earned by running the clinic. But I have no talent for business. If I really had a child, I might not be able to afford it!

Later, the Emperor favored us, but one crisis after another left no time for it!"

Ling Xiao yawned and said, "So you have time now? Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are about to duel at the top of the Forbidden City. Who knows what other problems will arise after that!"

Ling Lingfa nodded in agreement, "Indeed, so I must make a choice! I plan to have the child in the next few days! Everything else can wait!"

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes in disdain, "Since you've decided to have a child, why now? Besides, can you just have a child whenever you want? You might be a better shot than me, but can you guarantee hitting the bullseye on the first try!?"

This time it was Ling Lingfa's turn to look down, saying disdainfully, "You ignorant brat! With the blessing of good fortune, even lightning can't kill me, let alone missing the bullseye! I might even hit a double!"

Ling Xiao's mouth twitched, "I didn't know good fortune could do that, it's really all-powerful!"

Ling Lingfa sighed, "I have no choice. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After the duel, the other three members of the Bao Long clan will probably arrive."

"What does that have to do with them? Do you need their approval to have a child?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"Good fortune can also affect the fetus! I control all the good fortune of the Bao Long clan. If your master's wife conceives now, this child will have incredible potential! Once the other three return, there will be no chance!" Ling Lingfa said with a serious expression.

Ling Xiao looked enlightened, "So, according to this, aren't all the Ji family children incredibly talented?"

Ling Lingfa was taken aback and shook his head, smiling, "Not exactly. The Ji family members themselves don't have good fortune. They are affected by it because they stay within the influence of the Xuanyuan Sword for a long time. Unless they engage in intimate activities next to the Xuanyuan Sword, they are no different from ordinary people! According to my knowledge, the influence of the Xuanyuan Sword only extends for a hundred meters. The many elders and experts of the Ji family take up space, leaving very limited room for others to have children. Only the main family has this privilege!"

"No wonder the Ji family has so many experts. Their parents are influenced by good fortune during intimate activities, and they continue to cultivate in good fortune as they grow up. It's hard not to be strong!" Ling Xiao sighed.

Ling Lingfa nodded and continued, "Our lineage might already be set by heaven. Even if we are immersed in good fortune, our potential may not be that great. Although we are all extremely intelligent, it's not a good long-term situation. So I plan to pass the position of the Bao Long clan to you. This way, my child won't be part of the Bao Long clan and will have incredibly high potential!"

Ling Lingfa looked into the distance with a dreamy expression, as if he could already see the glorious future of his descendants. When he turned back, Ling Xiao was already drooling all over the floor, hugging a pillow and snoring loudly on the table!

Ling Lingfa shook his head with a smile and left. The next morning, he remembered something and rushed to the palace in a hurry.

After recalling this, Ling Xiao found his master's wife's words amusing and began to look forward to it as well.
