"Oh? So Kaidiluo is coming, it seems that the Papal Court of Light really does take this seriously!" Ling Feng wasn't concerned about the Dragon King's tone and instead said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, just because a mere Kaidiluo is coming, it has frightened the awe-inspiring Dragon King to this extent?"

"You little rascal..." The Dragon King couldn't keep up the pretense and said helplessly, "Only you dare call Kaidiluo 'mere.' He is the Great Knight of the Papal Court of Light, one of the Eight War Gods who are as famous as we are in the Underworld!"

Ling Feng shrugged, "Actually, I've always thought that the so-called Eight War Gods was just a title given out of boredom! It's precisely because of this title that people think these eight individuals are the strongest in the Underworld, but in fact, there are others in the Underworld who are even more formidable than the Eight War Gods. Of course, among the Eight War Gods themselves, there are those who completely outmatch their opponents!"

At this point, Ling Feng looked at the Dragon King with a half-smile, "Uncle Liu, with your strength, Kaidiluo probably can't cause much of an uproar in Yanjing, right? I don't think the title of Undefeated Dragon King was gained for nothing!"

Pausing for a moment, Ling Feng continued, "Moreover, Kaidiluo is fiercely loyal to the Papal Court of Light and is less likely to stir up trouble in Yanjing. As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived by his own code of conduct, Kaidiluo would not attract Dragon Group as an enemy for the Church, would he?"

The Dragon King felt deflated; he had thought he could use this issue to discipline Ling Feng, but Ling Feng didn't take it seriously.

Nevertheless, since Kaidiluo was an S-class master, the Dragon King said, "I don't know what you want with the Crown of Light, but I hope you can handle this matter well, you hear?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Don't worry, oh by the way, about reforming the Dragon Valor Squad, I can agree to that, I will take the position of team leader!"

Having said that, Ling Feng turned and left with style.

"This kid!" Hearing the decisiveness in Ling Feng's words, the Dragon King knew that Ling Feng must have learned about the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, and he couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.

Shortly after Ling Feng left, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!"

Bai Feifei walked in. Now, Bai Feifei stood tall and had a restrained aura, even having cultivated a strand of Inner Strength within her. This made the Dragon King very gratified.

"Master!" Bai Feifei said to the Dragon King, "I heard that the Dragon Group is going to reassemble the Dragon Valor Squad with the military, and I want to join!"

"You want to join the Dragon Valor Squad?" The Dragon King frowned, "While your strength isn't bad now, it's still not enough for this mission."

Bai Feifei knelt down with a thud, "Please grant me this, Master!"

The mercenaries who annihilated the Dragon Valor Squad were from the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, and their leader was none other than the War King Zhao Yuntao, who betrayed the army years ago. It was because of Zhao Yuntao's betrayal that both Bai Dongsheng and Lin Yun met their deaths!

Once Bai Feifei learned of this news, how could she remain indifferent? After searching for over ten years and finally finding Zhao Yuntao's whereabouts, how could Bai Feifei let go of this opportunity?

"You should know, Zhao Yuntao is an A-class master at the peak," said the Dragon King seriously, "As a disciple of mine, the Dragon King, you will eventually reach the legendary S-class, and at that time, killing Zhao Yuntao will be as easy as flipping your hand!"

"I know!" Bai Feifei said, "But Master, I can't wait that long! The moment I learned of Zhao Yuntao's whereabouts, my mind was filled with one voice—I must have revenge! I know I'm not a match for Zhao Yuntao at the moment, but killing a man doesn't mean having to fight him head-on. I will use every means to kill him, even resorting to schemes and tricks!"

The Dragon King stared at Bai Feifei, "Are you sure about this? If you go to the Dragon Valor Squad this time, you might very well die on the frontier, even your body might never be found. Are you prepared for that?"

Bai Feifei said resolutely, "I'm prepared for any sacrifices. As a member of the China Dragon Group, as a child of the Bai Family, how could I be someone who fears death and clings to life?"

Phew! The Dragon King let out a deep breath, "Good, you can't grow a towering tree in a greenhouse, since you've decided, I won't stop you! My disciple is not a flower soaked in milk, but a seagull braving the storm! I grant you my permission!"

Bai Feifei repeatedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Master!"

"Ah, is this destiny?" The Dragon King rubbed his forehead, "If Feifei can come back... I'll stay out of her business with Ling Feng! Ah, I'm truly a failure as a father and a master!"

...

Ling Feng was very busy now, as there were less than a week before the Dragon Valor Squad was to reorganize, and he needed to heal Yun Hanrui's injuries before that.

What troubled Ling Feng the most was how he would bring up this matter to Liu Tingyu. He was certain that Liu Tingyu definitely wouldn't want him to join the Dragon Valor Squad!

"Ah, what a headache!" Sitting at the milk tea shop below the Chaoyang Group building, Ling Feng felt restless and preoccupied with thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" After work, Liu Tingyu arrived at the milk tea shop and, seeing Ling Feng's distraction, couldn't help but ask.

Snapping back to reality, Ling Feng said, "Wasn't I just thinking about you? Let's go watch a movie tonight, and then you take a day off tomorrow. We can visit Yanjing's sights, just the two of us. We've known each other for so long, but we've never calmly enjoyed some time together! Afterwards, we can have a barbecue outside, and my barbecue skills are top-notch..."

As Ling Feng rambled on, the smile on Liu Tingyu's face gradually faded, "Ling Feng, tell me the truth, what's happened?"

Ling Feng gave an awkward smile, "I just wanted to spend more time with you, where did your mind go?"

Liu Tingyu's smirked and said, "Is that so? If that's the case, why don't I just take a month off? My thesis defense is coming up soon, anyway. We could be sticky with each other all day long, how about that?"

"Of course not!" Ling Feng inwardly rolled his eyes, thinking, If I stay with you for a month, it would be too late for everything.

Liu Tingyu looked at Ling Feng's expression, snatched his milk tea, and said leisurely, "Alright, what's going down? Spit it out, I'm giving you only one chance to come clean!"

Ling Feng shook his head, realizing that Ting Yu had seen right through him, "I've got some business to attend to in the next few days, I might have to leave for about a month!"

Liu Tingyu fell silent, then after a while, she asked, "Is it dangerous?"

Intelligent as she was, she immediately picked up on the implication in Ling Feng's words.

"There's no danger, I'm fully confident!" Ling Feng asserted, "It's just that I'll miss you when I can't see you!"

"Is it important?"

"Very important!"

"Alright then, I understand! Follow your heart!" Liu Tingyu said with a smile, "But remember, I'll be waiting for you at home! So, make sure you take care of yourself, alright?"
