Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Giving You a Surprise

If it were someone else, those admirers and suitors might have the courage to compete, to fight for her attention, but not long ago, who knows who let slip the news that Fang Bai’s backer was the Lu Family from Yanjing. With that revelation, all of Su Linglong’s admirers and suitors respected Fang Bai from a distance, who would dare to poach from him?

To offend Fang Bai was not a worry, but to offend the Yanjing Lu Family behind Fang Bai was unthinkable.

There are probably very few in the whole of Huaxia who could bear the retaliation of the Lu Family.

Every time Su Linglong came to the acupuncture and massage room to find Fang Bai and stood timidly at the door, calling out Fang Bai’s name, Wu Tian and a group of interns would look on with immense envy.

"I’ll treat you this time!"

Fang Bai said with a smile, "I was planning to return to the courtyard house, but now that you’ve come, I won’t go back. Same rules apply, we’ll find a hotel nearby the hospital. Whatever you want to eat, you order, and I’ll pay!"

When the two of them didn’t feel like going home for a meal, they would dine together at a nearby hotel, and naturally, as the man, Fang Bai was the one to pay the bill.

"No, this time I want to treat you!"

Su Linglong spoke with determination, and excitement shone through her expression as if she had encountered some happy event.

"Oh? Let me guess why you insist on treating me..."

Fang Bai surveyed Su Linglong from top to bottom and, with a sudden lift of his eyebrow, said, "It seems your strength has advanced to a new level in the past few days... Hmm, not bad, not bad. You’ve reached the high rank of the Yellow Level... Haha, congratulations, Linglong! You really should treat!"

Su Linglong stomped her foot and said, "Oh, I was planning to surprise you, how did you guess it right away?"

Fang Bai laughed and said, "To be honest, I’m already very surprised! Among the few with Innate Spiritual Roots whom I’ve discovered and taught Cultivation Techniques, you are one of the quickest to progress!"

"Ah, who are the others with Innate Spiritual Roots? Do I know them?"

Su Linglong still remembered that Fang Bai once said that those with Innate Spiritual Roots were extremely rare, hard to find one in millions, but now he mentioned he had already discovered several, sparking her curiosity as she asked with a light blink of her beautiful eyes.

Those with Innate Spiritual Roots that Fang Bai had discovered and to whom he had taught Cultivation Techniques included his sister Fang Yun, his disciple Ghost Hand, and Dongfang Ruhua, Baili Mingyue, Su Linglong, Tang Wenrou, Ye Wumei, and Xia Chenyu.

These eight had different types of Innate Spiritual Roots: Fang Yun possessed the Fire Spirit Root, Ghost Hand the Metal Spirit Root, Dongfang Ruhua the Thunder Spirit Root, Baili Mingyue the Water Spirit Root, Su Linglong the Wood Spirit Root, Tang Wenrou the Earth Spirit Root, Ye Wumei the Wind Spirit Root, and Xia Chenyu another Fire Spirit Root.

The eight covered the Five Elements Spiritual Roots as well as the Wind and Thunder Roots, and Fang Bai thus taught them different Martial Arts Techniques based on their roots.

Individuals with Innate Spiritual Roots were inherently clever and had high comprehension in the Martial Dao. Fang Bai would occasionally give them some guidance, provide them with some Cultivation Resources, and for the most part, let them figure things out on their own.

Fang Bai had been keeping in touch with these eight, paying attention to their cultivation progress. In just a few months, they had all advanced rapidly, especially Dongfang Ruhua with the Thunder Spirit Root and Su Linglong with the Wood Spirit Root, who both had now reached the high rank of the Sea-Cleaving Realm, equivalent to the high rank of the Yellow Level in this world’s Ancient Martial World.

Even though a high-rank Yellow Level Martial Artist was not considered a master in the Ancient Martial World, the fact that Su Linglong and Dongfang Ruhua had achieved this realm at such a young age was shocking enough to the Ancient Martial World.

Moreover, the Martial Arts Techniques they practiced were many times more sophisticated than those in this world, and coupled with the Cultivation Resources Fang Bai had given them, their strength advanced much faster than the Martial Artists of this world.

Fang Bai believed that before long, the strength of Su Linglong, Dongfang Ruhua, and the others would make the entire Ancient Martial World tremble.

Su Linglong was an intelligent and clever girl, who never pried into Fang Bai’s private affairs, so she was unaware of people like Dongfang Ruhua and the rest.

Among the few women Fang Bai knew at the present time, he had met Su Linglong the earliest and had the deepest understanding of her. When it came to the matters concerning people like Dongfang Ruhua and others, Fang Bai had no intention of concealing anything. Hearing Su Linglong’s inquiries, he proceeded to reveal to her the identities of the other seven individuals.

"Wow, even Ye Wumei is following you to learn Ancient Martial Arts?"

Upon hearing that the big star Ye Wumei was among the people to whom Fang Bai taught Martial Arts Techniques, stars immediately sprang up in Su Linglong’s eyes, giving off an air of yearning and admiration.

Clearly, like Baili Mingyue, she too was one of Star Ye’s loyal fans.

"If you ever have time in the future, you can meet her, get autographs, take photos together. I think Wumei definitely won’t be stingy!"

Seeing Su Linglong’s face light up with excitement and unabashed joy, Fang Bai said with a smile.

As for Fang Yun, Ghost Hand, and the other eight, Fang Bai had long been contemplating getting them together so they could exchange insights on their cultivation, which would also be beneficial for their practice.

However, all of them were scattered in different parts of the country and were very busy. It looked as though a meeting would be hard to arrange in the near future.

"Let’s go, find a place to eat!"

After she became familiar with her other "sect" fellows, Su Linglong glanced at the time and went out with Fang Bai, each holding an umbrella.

"Yuwei Hotel" was located less than a mile east of Yanjing Hospital. Due to the close distance, Fang Bai and Su Linglong did not drive there.

The rain was pouring down heavily, and it was rare to see pedestrians and cars on the street. Walking side by side beneath the umbrellas, stepping leisurely through the rain, someone paying close attention would notice that not a spot of rain had splashed onto their clothes.

Although "Yuwei Hotel" was a small hotel, the food was indeed delicious and worth savoring, so its business had always been good since it opened.

Fang Bai and Su Linglong had dined here more than once, and after several visits, they had already become familiar with the hotel’s owner couple.

The hotel’s owner, Li Fuzhi, was around forty years old with an average build. A short crew cut atop his head and a round face made him look plump and white, with dimples appearing on his cheeks when he smiled, giving off an impression of being honest and endearing.

Li Fuzhi’s wife, Liu Qing, looked like an ordinary woman but was virtuous and capable. Together, the couple worked hard and made the small hotel very successful. Recently, due to being utterly swamped, they even recruited a few waitstaff to help.

"Boss Lady, we’ll have the usual: four dishes, one soup, a bottle of drink, and a bottle of white liquor!"

After entering "Yuwei Hotel," they sat down at a window-side table on the first floor. Seeing the lady boss, Liu Qing, walking over with the menu, Fang Bai said with a smile.

Liu Qing responded with a smile, said "Please wait a moment," and went to arrange the order in the kitchen.

Perhaps due to the rain, the hotel’s business was a bit slower than usual that day, so the dishes were served considerably faster than normal.

Before long, the waitstaff brought the dishes, drinks, and liquor to their table. Fang Bai and Su Linglong sat down to eat and chat, occasionally turning to look at the rain scene outside the window.

The rain outside intensified, and the rows of trees along the street, washed by the unceasing torrent, shed their layer of dust and turned a lush and dripping green, exuding vitality and boundless energy.

"Do you have any insights?"

Fang Bai’s gaze moved away from the trees by the roadside and glanced at Su Linglong, then suddenly asked.
