Chapter 116: The Return of Xiang Tao

Early the next morning.

Zhao Feng woke up.

He stretched lazily.

“Ah! I slept so well last night!”

After dressing, he headed toward the bathroom.

Opening the door, he was startled. “Li Ping, what are you doing here?”

At that moment, Li Ping was sitting on the toilet, eyes wide open, staring at Zhao Feng.

His eyes were shadowed by dark circles.

Zhao Feng blinked. “Li Ping, what are you doing here?”

“Hmph!” Li Ping snorted. “Do you know I’ve been waiting here for you all night? The entire night!”

Zhao Feng was taken aback. “Waiting for me? Why?”

Li Ping was so furious he nearly lost his temper.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up, pushed Zhao Feng aside, and stormed off.

Zhao Feng rubbed his nose. “This is really baffling!”

He shook his head helplessly and began brushing his teeth and washing up.

“Ring! Ring!”

Zhao Feng’s phone rang.

Still brushing his teeth, he mumbled indistinctly, “Li Ping, answer the phone for me!”

Li Ping’s voice came from afar, “If you want to answer, do it yourself!”

Zhao Feng rolled his eyes. “Feeling bold, huh?”

“Hmph!” Li Ping snorted again and fell silent.

Zhao Feng hurriedly finished washing his face and went to the living room.

He glanced at the phone and frowned deeply—the call was from Chen Ying.

He called Chen Ying back.

“Beep! Beep beep!”

“Click.”

“What’s up, Chen Ying?”

Chen Ying’s voice came through the line anxiously. “Zhao Feng, Xiang Tao is back!”

“What?” Zhao Feng was surprised, but only mildly.

He said calmly, “So what if he’s back? No big deal.”

“No, it’s serious!” Chen Ying said urgently. “He went to your house and beat your father!”

“What?!” Zhao Feng’s anger flared instantly.

Chen Ying continued, “The Xiang family was intimidated by Master Qiu, right? Well, as soon as he returned, Xiang Tao went straight to Master Qiu and gave him a lesson! But it turns out, that Qiu He couldn’t really fight at all!”

Zhao Feng’s expression darkened.

He exhaled sharply. “But now, I can’t go back either.”

“What should we do?” Chen Ying asked.

Just as Zhao Feng was about to reply, a voice sounded.

“Leave it to me.”

Hong Chang spoke calmly.

Zhao Feng looked at him. “You have a plan?”

Hong Chang chuckled. “The reputation of the Three Golden Butterfly Faction isn’t empty talk. When I, their leader, show up, even Xiang Hu will give me some respect!”

Zhao Feng nodded. “Alright, then it’s in your hands.”

Without wasting time, Hong Chang took out his phone and called Xiang Hu.

“Beep! Beep beep!”

But no one answered.

Hong Chang frowned. “What’s going on?”

Zhao Feng’s face grew grim. “If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to head back first.”

Hong Chang hesitated. “But the exploration of the Extreme Yang Sea Eye is about to begin!”

“I can’t wait any longer.”

Without further discussion, Zhao Feng quickly packed and left.

Hong Chang frowned but knew this wasn’t the time to hesitate.

“Fine. We’ll wait for Zhai Xiangyu’s notice, then head straight from Longguo to Woguo.”

Zhao Feng nodded. “That’s the only way.”

The four arrived at the airport and boarded the fastest flight to Longguo.

They landed in Modu.

Zhao Feng had no time to linger; he told Li Ping to take him to the airport, then he and Hong Chang flew to Chenzhou City.

Upon returning, Zhao Feng hailed a cab directly to Xiaohe Village.

By the time he arrived, it was already five in the afternoon.

At his doorstep, fury surged through him.

The iron gate of his home was utterly smashed.

The heavy iron gate had been crushed flat.

Zhao Feng entered the courtyard. “Mom!”

In the living room, Chen Lan perked up at the sound, her voice trembling with excitement.

“Xiao Feng! You’re back!”

Zhao Jun was also visibly stirred.

He limped out the door into the courtyard.

Zhao Feng glanced at Zhao Jun’s right leg.

“Who did this?” Zhao Feng demanded angrily.

Zhao Jun waved him off. “Xiao Feng, Dad’s fine.”

Zhao Feng hurried to his side and examined the injury.

He exhaled with relief.

The injury wasn’t serious—just a fracture. With rest, it would heal.

Zhao Feng helped Zhao Jun to sit and began adjusting the bones.

Once finished, Zhao Feng took out his phone and made a call.

“Beep! Beep!”

“Click.”

Before the other side could speak, Zhao Feng said sharply, “I’m giving you half an hour to get to my house.”

On the other end, Qiu He hurriedly kowtowed. “Yes! Yes, yes!”

Zhao Feng hung up and waited quietly.

Twenty-five minutes later, Qiu He arrived, slightly late.

He rushed into the courtyard and then into the house.

Seeing Zhao Feng, he collapsed to his knees with a thud. “Master, you’re finally back!”

Zhao Feng responded with a faint hum. “Tell me what’s happened in the past few days.”

Qiu He hurriedly explained, “Xiang Tao is back! The first thing he did upon returning was to find me!”

“Because of what happened last time, I made the Xiang family lose face. So he came to me first to regain his standing.”

Zhao Feng frowned. He hadn’t expected his plan to be disrupted by Xiang Tao.

Still, it wasn’t a disaster; there was room to recover.

Zhao Feng stood. “Let’s go!”

Qiu He blinked. “Master, where to?”

Zhao Feng exhaled two words calmly: “Xiang family.”

“Good!”

Qiu He was instantly excited—perhaps Master intended to exact revenge on his behalf.

The two left the yard. Qiu He drove a Feng Tian Badao.

Zhao Feng got in, and Qiu He pressed the accelerator.

“Vroom!”

“Vroom vroom!”

The Feng Tian Badao roared like a tank.

In just twenty minutes, they arrived at Xiang Zhu Village.

Qiu He drove up to the front gate of the Xiang estate and blocked the entrance.

In truth, Qiu He wasn’t normally so domineering; it was all at Zhao Feng’s instruction.

The two got out.

Zhao Feng took a step forward, and immediately, his expression began to change.

He lifted his chin and let Qiu He walk ahead.

One after the other, they approached the gate.

At the gate, a guard stepped forward to block their path.

“This is Xiang estate, a restricted area. Unauthorized persons are not allowed entry.”

Zhao Feng said nothing; instead, he slowly projected his aura and surrounded Qiu He.

In an instant, Qiu He’s aura transformed dramatically.

He looked coldly at the guard. “Step aside! Tell that piece of trash Xiang Tao to come out!”

“Heh heh heh!”

The guard laughed.

He sneered, “I say, Master Qiu, wasn’t last time’s beating enough for you?”

“I—” Qiu He was momentarily speechless.

Then his aura shifted again. “Kid, I advise you to be polite.”

“Pfft!”

The guard scoffed, shaking his head in disdain.
