Chapter 108: Return to Dragon Gate
Liu Ye adjusted his black suit and said, “Mr. Zhao Feng, on behalf of the Dragon Nation War God Division, I officially welcome you!”
Zhao Feng frowned. “Dragon Nation War God Division? What’s that?”
“Hehehe!” Liu Ye chuckled. “The Dragon Nation War God Division is an organization of cultivators!”
Zhao Feng looked surprised.
He glanced at Liu Ye, stroked his chin, and said, “So that means Captain Liu, you’re a cultivator too?”
“Ha ha!” Liu Ye felt a bit awkward.
He forced a smile. “To be honest, yes, I’m a cultivator, but I’m only at the Qi Refining stage.”
Zhao Feng was somewhat displeased inwardly.
With a sarcastic tone, he said, “Captain Liu, you sure know how to keep things hidden. I never noticed before!”
Liu Ye grew even more embarrassed.
He knew that once Zhao Feng discovered he was a cultivator, this matter would inevitably come up.
Liu Ye smiled and said, “Mr. Zhao Feng, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. If you join the Dragon Nation War God Division, I’m willing to share with you the secret of how I conceal my aura.”
Zhao Feng flatly refused, “No interest. Goodbye!”
With that, he turned and walked away.
“Mr. Zhao! Wait!”
“Mr. Zhao!”
Liu Ye called out from behind, but Zhao Feng, holding Li Dan’s hand, strode off decisively.
Liu Ye felt a bit deflated. He didn’t know how to get closer to Zhao Feng anymore.
“Hehehe!”
Hong Chang, wearing sunglasses, approached Liu Ye.
She smiled and said, “I told you he wouldn’t join.”
“Let me tell you a secret—he’s got a screw loose in his head!”
“Heh, hehehe!” Liu Ye laughed along, saying nothing more.
A joke—who would dare say a Qi Refining stage ten cultivator is crazy?
Apparently, only Hong Chang would say such a thing.
Hong Chang came up to Liu Ye. “Captain, can you tell me what benefits come with joining the Dragon Nation War God Division?”
Liu Ye blinked. “Why? Are you interested in joining?”
Hong Chang propped her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. “Joining isn’t out of the question.”
Liu Ye instantly became excited. “Really?”
It seemed not impossible to have another Qi Refining stage ten cultivator join the War God Division.
“Hehehe!” Hong Chang teased mischievously. “I’m kidding! Goodbye!”
Liu Ye’s expression immediately darkened.
Hong Chang, dressed in a red dress, bounced away cheerfully.
Outside the airport.
Zhao Feng and company climbed into Li Ping’s car, slowly driving toward the Li residence.
Zhao Feng and Li Dan sat in the back, Hong Chang took the passenger seat, and Li Ping was behind the wheel. Each had their role.
Hong Chang glanced at the rearview mirror and rolled her eyes.
The reason? Zhao Feng and Li Dan were cozying up in the backseat.
“Still hurting?” Zhao Feng asked.
Li Dan lowered her head and murmured softly, “A little.”
“I’ll give you a massage later.”
“Mm~”
“I say, could you two get out of here?” Hong Chang could no longer stand it and said angrily.
Zhao Feng rolled his eyes in return. “Why are you everywhere? Just keep playing your game!”
“Hehehe!” Li Ping chuckled at their banter.
He glanced at the rearview mirror, scratched his nose, and mustered courage. “Hong Jie, I can give you a massage too…”
“What did you say??”
Li Ping rubbed his nose. “I said, I can give you a massage…”
Before he finished, there was a “bang!” and he was kicked out of the car.
“Ouch!”
Li Ping fell heavily to the ground.
Thankfully, the car had stopped; if it had been moving at high speed, the consequences would have been dire.
Hong Chang glared angrily at Li Ping. “You, Li Ping! Are you crazy?”
Li Ping hurriedly got up. “Hong Jie, Hong Jie, I was just joking, just joking!”
“Hmph!” Hong Chang snorted. “Drive!”
“All right, all right!”
The car once again made its way to the outskirts, a paved road leading up a hillside.
The Audi A8 slowly approached the gates of the Li estate.
Zhao Feng and the others were momentarily stunned because someone stood at the gate.
That person was Li Zhi.
All four frowned.
“Li Zhi, what’s he doing here?” Zhao Feng asked.
Li Ping shook his head and parked the car at the gate.
“Whew!”
Li Ping took a deep breath. “I’ll get out and ask.”
He opened the door and walked toward Li Zhi.
“Father…”
Li Ping had just started speaking when a sharp slap landed on his face.
Li Ping clutched his cheek, glaring at Li Zhi angrily. “Father, why did you hit me?”
“Hmph!” Li Zhi snorted coldly. “I think you and your sister have been bewitched by that boy. I don’t know what kind of potion he’s been feeding you!”
“Brother Feng hasn’t!” Li Dan protested.
“Hmph! I bet you two want to elope with him!” Li Zhi accused.
“We don’t!” Li Ping retorted angrily.
Li Zhi ignored Li Ping and looked toward the car. “Zhao Feng, get out.”
Zhao Feng opened the door, revealing his long legs.
He wore light blue jeans, a warm yellow T-shirt, and a maroon leather jacket.
Stepping out, he put his hands in his pockets and approached Li Zhi.
Standing beside Li Zhi, Zhao Feng looked at him coldly. “What do you want with me?”
“Hmph!”
“Zhao Feng, I advise you to be polite to me.”
Li Zhi said sharply.
Zhao Feng sneered. “I repay respect with double respect.”
Li Zhi sneered. “I’m not here to talk about that. I want to know if you really intend to interfere with the marriage alliance.”
Zhao Feng chuckled. “What else?”
“Hahaha!” Li Zhi laughed arrogantly.
He looked at Zhao Feng with pride. “I already know what happened last night!”
“Hmph!”
“You’re just a martial artist, right?”
“So what if I’m a martial artist? He Yun has a martial artist backing him too!”
Hearing this, Zhao Feng frowned.
The fact that Li Zhi openly acknowledged his status as a martial artist without evasion meant there was more to this.
Zhao Feng took a deep breath. “What level martial artist is backing He Yun?”
Li Zhi held up five fingers. “Fifth-level!”
“Hehehe!”
Zhao Feng laughed derisively inside.
“A mere fifth-level martial artist!” Zhao Feng mocked.
“Hmph!” Li Zhi snorted coldly. “Zhao Feng, I know you’re a martial artist too!”
“And not a low-level one!”
“But!”
“Do you know where the martial artist backing He Yun is from?”
“Where?” Zhao Feng asked curiously.
“Hehehe!” Li Zhi smiled smugly. “From the Dragon Gate Sect!”
“Dragon Gate Sect? Never heard of it.”
“Pfft!” Li Zhi scoffed. “Whether you’ve heard or not doesn’t matter! But you should know, although He Yun is backed by a fifth-level martial artist, his master is supported by the entire Dragon Gate Sect.”
“So what?” Zhao Feng said coldly.
“Pfft!”
“You just keep being stubborn!”
Li Zhi sneered. “Right now, He Yun and his master are in our manor. If you have the guts, say it to their faces!”
