Chapter 129 The Way of the Prince
Yang Ling looked at the old man selling lanterns and said.
"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment!"
The old man selling lanterns answered with a smile.
A moment later, six uniquely shaped lanterns, emitting a captivating fragrance, appeared before Yang Ling and Lin Wan'er.
These six lanterns are all different in shape, including deer, fox, crane and qilin, and they are so lifelike that they are a feast for the eyes.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, then reached out and took one of the lanterns to examine it closely.
Yang Ling looked at the six lanterns with a surprised expression.
He never expected that the old man selling lanterns was so skilled, able to make these lanterns of various shapes and sizes look like this.
"Sir, would you like to give it a try?"
At this moment, the old man looked at Yang Ling and said with a smile.
"No need, thank you, sir!"
Yang Ling shook his head; he wasn't good at playing with lanterns.
"Alright then, if you find anything else you like, feel free to come to me. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
The old man spoke first, then packed his things to leave.
"Young man, may I borrow these six lanterns to admire for a while?"
Just as the old man was packing his things, Yang Ling heard an aged voice.
He turned his head and saw that the speaker was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a gray robe.
Yang Ling was slightly taken aback. He remembered that he did not know this old man, so why did the other party want to borrow the lantern from him?
"Who are you? Why do you want to borrow my lantern?"
Yang Ling looked at the old man in front of her with a puzzled expression and asked.
"I am just an ordinary citizen. As for why I borrowed your lantern, young brother, I have my own reasons."
The old man smiled and glanced at the lantern in Lin Wan'er's hand.
"Alright! You can have this lantern!"
Yang Ling nodded and handed the lantern to the old man in gray.
"How can I do that? How can I just take other people's things for free?"
Upon hearing this, the old man in gray quickly shook his head, looking unwilling to accept it.
"It's alright, it's just a lantern, nothing much."
Yang Ling waved her hand and said, her face showing a nonchalant expression.
Since the other party wants to borrow the lantern, then let's give it to him.
"Thank you, young man. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to my residence for help."
The old man in gray spoke, then handed Yang Ling a token.
The token bears the word "medicine" prominently, giving it a mysterious air.
"The Medicine Palace? What's that?"
Yang Ling asked in confusion.
"You'll understand, young man. I have important business to attend to and need to leave. See you another day!"
The old man chuckled as he spoke, then turned and left.
Yang Ling watched the old man leave, her mind filled with questions.
Lin Wan'er stared thoughtfully at the departing figure of the gray-robed old man.
"Let's go! It's time to go back."
Yang Ling looked at Lin Wan'er and said something, and the two returned to the mansion.
"Brother Ling, who is that person?"
After returning to the mansion, Lin Wan'er asked Yang Ling.
"Oh, an old friend, not worth mentioning."
Yang Ling began to explain.
"Then why did you give him such a precious lantern?"
Lin Wan'er continued to press for an answer.
"I bought it because I thought his lanterns were quite interesting."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Pshaw, you're kidding me. You're just saying that because you can't bear to part with it."
Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and said, as if she had seen through him long ago.
"Cough cough, that's not true, that kind of thing doesn't work on me."
When his lie was exposed, Yang Ling scratched his head awkwardly and said...
"Forget it, I'll ignore you."
Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes and said.
Yang Ling smiled wryly, too lazy to argue with Lin Wan'er.
The other party is, after all, a girl, and a rather unruly one at that. Asking him to argue with her is truly a headache.
"Then come play with me."
Lin Wan'er said to Yang Ling with a smile.
"Um, I have other things to do and can't keep you company."
Yang Ling said awkwardly, he couldn't very well tell the other party that he was in seclusion.
"What could be more important to you than spending time with me?"
Lin Wan'er frowned slightly as she spoke.
"Of course not."
Yang Ling smiled wryly. He could only put down what he was doing and play with Lin Wan'er.
However, his attention never left the matter; he remained focused on the affairs of the Medicine House.
The Medicine Mansion is a very special and secretive force.
Its sphere of influence was limited to the capital city; there was no trace of it elsewhere.
What Yang Ling didn't know was that the Medicine Mansion's true sphere of influence spanned the entire world. Apart from the royal family, at least half of the major and minor sects had some connection with the Medicine Mansion.
It can be said that as long as it is within the capital city, the Medicine House can penetrate everywhere.
This complex network of relationships made the Medicine Clan one of the most secretive forces in the entire world.
The Medicine Palace, as one of the three special forces in the world, has a significance far beyond what it appears to be.
Yang Ling didn't know who the leader of the Medicine Clan was, but he knew that the other party was definitely an extraordinary person.
He felt an unprecedented pressure from the other person, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
Since Yang Ling became a grandmaster of the Xuanmen sect, he had always been high above others and had never experienced this feeling before.
But now the other party has brought that feeling back to him, making him feel threatened.
Yang Ling didn't know what the other party wanted to do, nor did she want to find out the answer to that question.
Although her opponent seemed very strong, Yang Ling firmly believed that she would not lose to anyone.
Yang Ling didn't know, but he felt that this matter wouldn't just end like this.
Although the other party gave him the Medicine Mansion's token before leaving, the other party also said that he could seek help from the Medicine Mansion if he encountered any difficulties.
Therefore, he concluded that something was bound to happen.
"The Medicine Palace..."
Yang Ling muttered something to himself, then fell into deep thought.
……
Meanwhile, in a large hall of the Medicine House, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
At this moment, several elderly men were sitting in the hall, each with a serious expression that made people hesitant to approach them.
The elderly man at the head of the group was the same gray-robed old man Yang Ling had met that day; his name was Hua Wei.
He is also currently the number one person in the Medicine Bureau.
Opposite him sat several middle-aged people and some elderly people.
They were all important figures in the Medicine Clan, and each of them was extremely powerful. Even Yang Ling couldn't possibly deal with them alone.
If Yang Ling knew that all these people came from the Medicine Mansion, he would probably be very surprised.
Because he knew very well that he had no connection with the Medicine Family, he didn't understand why the Medicine Family would send someone to find him.
All of this is based on the other party's speculation, not on facts.
