Seven Strings in Dreams

Now that the second son of the Ling family is too close to the acting city lord, the other two families are helpless. Only through marriage can the three families be evenly matched and the Ling family be prevented from dominating.

The Leng family and the Feng family are very satisfied with the eldest and second sons of the Ling family.

As for Ling Chuan, in their eyes, he was not a suitable candidate for marriage.

How can a playboy who is uneducated and unskilled inherit the family business in the future?

Even though the eldest son of the Ling family is unromantic and the second son of the Ling family is weak, he is more suitable for marriage than Ling Chuan.

Unfortunately, the elders of the Ling family have never given in and have no plans to let the two brothers get married.

As for when they get married and who they marry, it's up to them to decide. After all, cultivators have much longer lifespans than ordinary people. They're still young, and they have a long way to go.

Of the three Ling brothers, the easiest to deceive is the youngest, Ling Chuan. The eldest is incredibly powerful, the second even better, and unfathomable. Only Ling Chuan never gives these things much thought. He's a rare, simple person.

Meng Xianyu and the others didn't want to lie to Ling Chuan, and they didn't want to have too much contact with him. After all, it was Ling Chuan who was being simple, not the Ling family. And lies would eventually be exposed.

But Ling Chuan didn't think so. He'd been busy showing off in front of his grandfather these days, and hadn't had the time to come to the inn to see Meng Xianyu and the others in person. But he would occasionally send something over, sometimes a letter, sometimes some food, sometimes some new and interesting gadgets he'd acquired. He even sent over two orioles.

At first, Meng Xianyu would meet the visitor. Later, she asked the shopkeeper to collect the money for her. After all, the more times they met, the easier it would be to reveal their true intentions.

Meng Xianyu couldn't just sit in the inn and wait every day. She also had a lot of things to deal with.

Just as she had shaken off Ling Chuan, the second Ling family member reappeared. Meng Xianyu was startled and broke into a cold sweat. After all, Ling Chuan was easy to fool, but the second Ling family member was obviously not an easy person to deal with. If he was targeted by the other party, it would be difficult to shake him off.

But the second young master of the Ling family is even more difficult to deal with than Meng Xianyu imagined.

After all, this plane was completely unfamiliar to Meng Xianyu. What she knew was far from enough. If she asked about certain things, she was afraid people would mistake her for a monster. However, the original owner's memories were so chaotic that they were of no help to her.

Meng Xianyu sorted through her chaotic memories and only knew that the original owner's life had been extremely difficult. She had lived in a secluded area of ​​the mountains, sometimes wandering around without a fixed place to stay. She would rarely interact with anyone throughout the year.

I don't know if the original owner suffered a head injury in a shipwreck, but those memories are really hard to sort out. Meng Xianyu occasionally dreams about some things, but many scenes are just pictures, no sound.

These days, Meng Xianyu occasionally gets headaches, and flashes of images appear when she sees certain things. But the original owner's memory really isn't much help.

Meng Xianyu still has a lot of things she doesn't understand and needs to absorb them slowly.

The world of immortal cultivation was truly unfamiliar to her. She couldn't imagine how powerful those experts truly were. She wanted to get to the academy immediately, to absorb and digest all the new things she had learned. Although she didn't understand everything here, she knew that only by being strong enough could one have the right to survive. And she wanted to survive, to live well.

Before she possessed absolute power, she could only play the pig and eat the tiger. Otherwise, she would become a cannon fodder female supporting role. She might be a supporting role in the eyes of others, but she was definitely the heroine in her own eyes. She couldn't control what others thought of her. Regardless, she wanted to be a powerful heroine. Whether it worked or not, she would just work hard towards that goal.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and she has no ability to resist now.

She was able to reach this point because of Wu Na. Therefore, she wanted to lead a good life with Wu Na.

Meng Xianyu only thought that she would soon arrive at the academy, but she didn't expect to be targeted before she even entered the academy. She also didn't expect to be pestered by the second son of the Ling family.

The second son of the Ling family is a genius that only appears once in a century. It’s a pity that he is a genius but also a waste.

The second son of the Ling family had a body destined for life, but he was poisoned in the womb and cursed.

The Ling family kept this matter secret very well, and it can be said that it was watertight.

The person who poisoned the patient has not been found yet and the matter is still under investigation.

The Ling family only told the outside world that the second young master had been weak and sickly since childhood. Even if someone had suspected this, they would not cause trouble for themselves.

The second young master Ling was quick-witted and had extraordinary literary talent. Even though he was frail and sickly, he was very popular among women.

Meng Xianyu, however, felt that this person was insidious and cunning and difficult to deal with.

The second young master Ling thought that Meng Xianyu and the others were intentionally trying to contact Ling Chuan, and he really loved this younger brother.

After all, the similar appearance of old friends and the unclear identity make people feel confused.

If both sides could resolve misunderstandings sooner, so many mistakes wouldn't happen. But sometimes, there's just no way around it. After all, no one knows each other well, so who would just come up and reveal their past and expose their secrets to everyone? This constant defensiveness only leads to more misunderstandings, making them even harder to resolve.

When the second son of the Ling family first met Meng Xianyu, he was just suspicious and wary. But later, as misunderstandings arose, he began to create obstacles.

His schemes nearly cost Meng Xianyu a great loss, leading to a long period of hostility between the two sides. It wasn't until much later, when they had the opportunity to fight side by side, that they finally put aside their grudges.

After meeting him for the first time today, Meng Xianyu already felt that the second young master of the Ling family was difficult to deal with. He was neither as innocent and enthusiastic as Ling Chuan, nor as cold and deep as Ling Yi.

This Ling family's second young master was no ordinary person. Meng Xianyu felt as if she had been seen through.

She couldn't go back to the inn, nor could she go to Peiyuefang, so she could only rush to the last place. A pharmacy, also called a medicine shop. The plaque had only two words written on it: a pharmacy.

If there weren't a lot of medicinal herbs hanging on the windows to dry and a dozing medicine boy at the door, you really wouldn't be able to tell that this is a medicine shop.

This medicine shop wasn't easy to find, and I had never been there before. Meng Xianyu searched for a long time, and she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

After finally arriving at the place, she hurried forward to wake up the medicine boy.

Meng Xianyu: "Little brother, wake up!"

The medicine boy narrowed his eyes and glanced at Meng Xianyu lightly: "You are late, please go back and come earlier tomorrow!"

Meng Xianyu: "I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here to see the shopkeeper."

The medicine boy then opened his eyes and looked at Meng Xianyu carefully.

Medicine boy: "Sister, are you looking for the owner? Are you here to be an apprentice? Or do you have good medicinal herbs at home?"

Meng Xianyu remembered that she had collected some herbs earlier and only had one or two left. She took them out from her space ring and waved them in front of the medicine boy.

The medicine boy's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly took Meng Xianyu to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was sweating profusely in a room in the backyard. Two doctors and two men in black were also present. An unconscious person lay in bed. The atmosphere was tense, and it was no wonder the pharmacy was completely empty.

The medicine boy wanted to take Meng Xianyu to the backyard, but was stopped at first.

The medicine boy was also very anxious. He first tried to please the guards, but when that didn't work, he whispered a few more words in their ears. The two guards looked at Meng Xianyu and confirmed that she had no spiritual power at all, then reluctantly let them pass.

The two entered the backyard, and the medicine boy took Meng Xianyu around, and then they came to a remote yard.

There were also two guards at the gate. No matter what the medicine boy said, they refused to let him in and told him to wait outside.

Seeing this, the medicine boy had no choice but to shout outside the door.

The shopkeeper was indeed called out by the medicine boy, but before the boy could say anything, he started to scold him. The shopkeeper didn't even glance at Meng Xianyu, who was standing behind the boy.

Meng Xianyu was almost in tears when she saw the aggrieved look on the little medicine boy's face. After all, it was she who had implicated the little medicine boy. This was her fault, and she had to take the responsibility.

Judging from the little medicine boy's shining eyes just now, the medicine she just casually took out should be quite attractive. As she thought about it, she searched for more medicinal herbs in the space.

Before, she had just grabbed a handful, but this time, she carefully selected six herbs, taking the best of each, some of which were hundreds of years old. Although she felt a little sad, she was in trouble now and had to shed some blood.

She took out the herbs, then stepped forward and placed them between the two of them.

The shopkeeper wanted to continue scolding, but Meng Xianyu used a cruel trick, and the shopkeeper could not resist the temptation and immediately put on a bright and annoying smile.

He first looked at the herbs and swallowed, then looked at Meng Xianyu.

He was shocked when he saw it and immediately recognized Meng Xianyu.

The shopkeeper asked, "Miss Meng, why are you here?"

Meng Xianyu froze, pointed at her nose, and asked, "Do you know me?"

The shopkeeper: "Stop talking now, come with me!"

The shopkeeper grabbed Meng Xianyu's arm and brought her into the house.

Before Meng Xianyu could react, someone walked into the house.

You know what, there really is someone I know in this room.

The unconscious man lying in bed was none other than the Dharma Protector Yufan. The two men with worried faces were none other than the Dharma Protector Yufan's trusted subordinates. There were also two unknown doctors.

The two healers had originally focused their attention on the guardian Yufan. But the aroma of the herbs in Meng Xianyu's hand was so strong that they were instantly energized and rushed to Meng Xianyu.

The two men immediately blocked Meng Xianyu's way.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, but Meng Xianyu seemed to understand something.

The shopkeeper wanted to speak, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.
