There were four n, including the one in the white suit, each of them tall and imposing. Their casual attire and unrestrained deanor, along with their sharp gazes, made it clear they were far from innocent.
Lin Feng glanced at these four formidable n, his eyes narrowing slightly. With his keen intuition, he sensed a bloody aura emanating from them—the distinct killing intent found only on those who had personally taken lives.
Who were these guys?
Upon seeing the man in the white suit, Long Xiaoyun's face stiffened, his voice trembling slightly. "Chen Qingyun... why aren't you staying put at your battle hall? What are you doing here, looking for ?"
"This is the son of Chen Ming, the Hall Master of the Qingzi Sect's battle hall. The Qingzi Sect has two divisions: the comrce hall and the battle hall. The comrce hall manages business, while the battle hall handles disputes. Lord Dragon was promoted to Hall Master of Jiangzhou Hall due to his excellent work in the comrce hall, and he has never gotten along with the battle hall. Plus, with Long Xiaoyun himself not being very competitive, Chen Qingyun has always looked down on him and frequently provokes him." Yan Su discreetly explained Chen Qingyun's background to Lin Feng when no one was paying attention.
"Not at all. I recently heard you hired a skilled bodyguard. As your brother, I'm concerned for your safety, so I brought soone along to test your bodyguard's skills for you!" Chen Qingyun said teasingly, glancing at Yan Su.
Long Xiaoyun turned deathly pale. This wasn't the first ti such a thing had happened. He had already gone through many personal bodyguards who Chen Qingyun had "tested" in this manner, "testing" them until they were severely injured or even crippled...
"Chen Qingyun, how skilled my bodyguard is is none of your concern! You should worry about yourself!" Long Xiaoyun glared furiously at Chen Qingyun and said coldly, "Don't think you can act recklessly just because you have a few capable subordinates. Don't forget, my father is still the Hall Master of the Qingzi Sect's Jiangzhou Hall!"
"Not for long!" Chen Qingyun looked at Long Xiaoyun with pity in his eyes and said indifferently, "As expected, you're utterly ignorant. Don't you know that the cruise in a few days is for selecting the next leader of Jiangzhou Hall? Ten matches will decide the winner. Ten of the Qingzi Sect's Thirteen Generals are from our battle hall. Your old man only has Long Tianyi, who can fight a bit. No matter how skilled he is, he can't take on ten opponents. This ti, the position of Hall Master of Jiangzhou Hall will definitely belong to our Chen Family!"
Lin Feng and Yan Su were shocked to hear this news. After exchanging a look, they both ca to the sa realization: no wonder Long Shaotian had been so tolerant towards Lin Feng. After discovering Lin Feng's remarkable skills, Long Shaotian had unexpectedly been magnanimous, setting aside past grievances to try and win him over. It turned out that Long Shaotian's sea voyage wasn't just about organizing gambling dens to make money; the outco of the boxing matches also concerned his status as Hall Master.
"So, this trip out to sea is to select the next leader..." Long Xiaoyun muttered, "No wonder Dad places so much importance on the boxing matches. So that's what this is all about."
"Exactly!" Chen Qingyun said with a smile. "Your father's position as Hall Master is about to be lost. You useless fellow, you should hire so more capable bodyguards to ensure your own safety. I'm very enthusiastically offering to give your bodyguard so free guidance and training! By the way, I heard your new bodyguard is nad Yan Su? With such an impressive na, he must be quite a fighter, right? How about we let Long San spar with him?"
As Chen Qingyun spoke, he raised his right hand and subtly made a gesture. A formidable man in his thirties, wearing a form-fitting practice suit that showcased his brawny physique, stepped out from behind him. He sneered at Long Xiaoyun, clenching his fists slightly, his pair of strange, triangular eyes radiating an astonishing killing intent.
Inner Strength, third level! Lin Feng instantly recognized Long San's cultivation. The Qingzi Sect is truly full of hidden talents, he silently mused. Another expert at the third level or higher has appeared so casually.
Yan Su squinted, his gaze firmly locked onto Long San, his face paling slightly. He hated to admit it, but he knew he was probably no match for this Long San.
Hearing that Chen Qingyun's target was actually Yan Su, Long Xiaoyun involuntarily clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he stared at Chen Qingyun in prolonged silence. Yan Su was the only bodyguard he'd had in over half a year who could truly be called an expert. It had only been two months since Yan Su joined the Qingzi Sect, and he had officially beco his personal bodyguard just half a month ago! Yet Chen Qingyun had already co knocking, intending to deal with Yan Su.
This is truly going too far!
Long Xiaoyun looked at Chen Qingyun with deep humiliation. He desperately wished Yan Su could beat down Long San, who was beside Chen Qingyun, but even as ignorant and unskilled as he was, he knew this was highly improbable.
The even-numbered mbers of the Qingzi Sect's Thirteen Generals were all in the Beijing branch. Within the Qingzi Sect's Jiangzhou Hall, Long San was a top-tier expert, second only to Long Tianyi. Even against Long Tianyi, Long San could fight to a draw within a hundred moves without falling behind. Yan Su was definitely not his match!
He could only endure!
Although Long Xiaoyun lacked real ability, he wasn't an utter fool. He knew Yan Su would inevitably lose, and to let Yan Su fight for his sake under such circumstances would be foolish. After all, a skilled bodyguard was not easy to find. Bodyguards were for saving his life at critical monts, not disposable pawns to be sacrificed in petty squabbles.
"I won't let Yan Su fight Long San!" Long Xiaoyun resolutely shook his head and said.
"Tsk tsk... you've actually gotten smarter!" Surprisingly, Chen Qingyun didn't press Long Xiaoyun to submit, but instead said with a faint smile, "So, you don't dare to accept the challenge? In that case, shall we follow the old rules?"
"The old rules it is then..." Long Xiaoyun said through gritted teeth, pointing at a few beautiful female companions beside him. "Little Hua, Little Fang, and the others here are all won I've recently taken on. Pick whover you like!"
It had been a pre-agreed rule between Long Xiaoyun and Chen Qingyun that if one challenged the other in a wager of this sort and the other party dared not accept, the challenger could freely pick one woman from the refusing party's companions to spend the night with...
This was their so-called "old rule."
For underworld playboys like Long Xiaoyun and Chen Qingyun, won they truly connected with were rare. The won usually around them were just for casual amusent, so this kind of wager involving exchanging female companions wasn't that hard for them to accept...
At worst, he just wouldn't touch the woman chosen by the other party ever again.
That was how Long Xiaoyun thought, so although he felt so reluctance, he still magnanimously allowed Chen Qingyun to choose.
"Since Young Master Dragon is being so generous, I won't stand on ceremony!" Chen Qingyun chuckled as he scanned the won present, his gaze finally landing on... Wu i!
"I want her!" Chen Qingyun said calmly, pointing at Wu i with a smug, triumphant smile.
"?" Pointed at by Chen Qingyun, Wu i's pretty face turned slightly pale with fright. Although she didn't know what this "old rule" between Long Xiaoyun and Chen Qingyun was, she knew it definitely wasn't anything good.
"Her? No... she's not one of mine!" Long Xiaoyun panicked when he saw Chen Qingyun pointing at Wu i, and he hastily explained.
