"Heavenly Dao cannot, of course, be opened at will!" Ao Yun said indifferently, "But for an Ancient Power, they can use a secret technique to obscure the Heavenly Dao. Once the Heavenly Dao is obscured, it can isolate the earth from the Heavenly Dao."

Ling Feng frowned, gleaning some understanding from Ao Yun's words, "You mean to say, the Heavenly Dao of Earth was obscured using a secret technique?"

Ao Yun said with a smile, "It's hard to say for sure, but asking about it now is of no use. When you reach the peak of heaven, you will naturally understand!"

Ling Feng, rather dissatisfied, glanced at the secretive Ao Yun, pulled down his eye mask, and began to sleep. Meanwhile, Ao Yun seemed unconcerned and showed a meaningful smile on his face.

After several hours of flight, they finally landed at Yanjing Airport.

Upon exiting the plane, the Military Department's reception staff were already present.

"Captain Ling, please get in the vehicle!" a military officer said, "The commander and others are already waiting for you!"

Upon arriving at the Military Department, Ling Feng was surprised to find not just Military Department personnel, but also the Dragon King had come.

"You've all worked hard!" The commander of the Military Department stepped forward, saluted Ling Feng, who hurriedly saluted back.

Ling Feng, with a squad of less than a hundred, had successfully completed the military's mission. Furthermore, the power of the Golden Triangle had suffered a devastating blow, unable to recover its former state for at least five years.

This period of five years would allow various forces to achieve many things! As for the Golden Triangle after five years, it might well have become part of the military's plans.

At the welcome ceremony, the leader was generous with praise, extolling the Dragon Valor Squad as a rarity in the world. At the same time, collective first-class merits and individual first-class honors were awarded.

However, what made Ling Feng feel depressed was that his name wasn't on the personal honors list.

Although Ling Feng was not part of the military, shouldn't the military still express some appreciation for him?

"Don't be downhearted! I declined the military's award on your behalf," the Dragon King said, coming over to Ling Feng, "Although the military's awards are good, they are too hot to handle! If you don't want to be separated from Ting Yu too often, it's best not to covet those honors."

Ling Feng shrugged, "Actually, I don't really care. By the way, can I leave now? After nearly a month away, I'm eager to find Ting Yu."

"Go ahead, I'll talk to the commander later," the Dragon King said indifferently, "I also heard about the Nine Nether Blood Lotus; we can only say our luck was bad."

Ling Feng shook his head, "I have a feeling, although I didn't get the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, I will definitely see it again!"

After declining the military's cordial invitation, Ling Feng sat in Bai Feifei's car, driving towards the Chaoyang Group.

Ling Feng didn't tell Liu Tingyu that he was coming back today, wanting to surprise Liu Tingyu and Yun Hanrui.

"I wonder if the two girls will be so excited to see me that they will come up to offer a kiss?" Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but laugh quietly.

Bai Feifei gave Ling Feng a sidelong glance and then decisively pinched his waist.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Ling Feng's body shuddered, "Why pinch me? Don't you know you shouldn't play around while driving? Do you have enough points on your license to spare?"

Bai Feifei spoke indignantly, "Pinch you? Just look at that playboy expression you had just now. I'm already giving you face by not hitting you! How could you ignore me when such a beautiful woman is around you?"

"Cough cough!" Ling Feng was a bit embarrassed, "Well... it's not that I'm ignoring you, I just... I was missing Furry Ball!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng nodded vigorously, "That's right, it's been a long time since I've seen Furry Ball. I don't even know if it has lost weight. As a dog lover, of course, I miss my dog terribly..."

Listening to Ling Feng's serious nonsense, Bai Feifei couldn't help but smile, "Alright, stop bluffing. I know you must be really missing Ting Yu."

"And... Han Rui too!" Ling Feng said weakly.

With a screech, the car suddenly braked to a stop at the roadside as Bai Feifei's eyes widened, "What? Something between you and Yun Hanrui...?"

Ling Feng touched his nose, "Well... it's a long story, but Ting Yu knows about it too. That's all I can say. My feelings for you, Ting Yu, and Han Rui are genuine, without any ulterior motives."

Bai Feifei sighed, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy but also a bit of relief.

"Hmph, I knew you were a fickle bad guy!" Bai Feifei's voice contained a hint of jest, "With Yun Hanrui's status and beauty being so rare, I just can't believe you wouldn't be moved by her. As expected... men really are creatures driven by their lower halves!"

"You're not angry?" Ling Feng, hearing the lighthearted tone in Bai Feifei's voice, couldn't help but ask.

As she started the car again, Bai Feifei responded, "Me, angry? Why should I be angry? I'm not the Empress. Since Ting Yu has accepted Yun Hanrui, doesn't that mean I also have a chance? For me, this is actually a good thing!"

"Ah!" Ling Feng was somewhat bewildered; he was having trouble understanding what was going on in the girl's mind.

In fact, once Bai Feifei had made up her mind about her feelings, she was prepared to confront Ting Yu! For her true feelings, Bai Feifei no longer cared about worldly opinions. Her only worry was whether she could be accepted by Ting Yu!

If Ting Yu couldn't tolerate her presence, would Ling Feng really insist on keeping her around? Faced with herself and Ting Yu, what would Ling Feng choose? Bai Feifei was very clear about the place Ting Yu held in Ling Feng's heart.

But now, it seemed all those anxieties were unnecessary! Since Ting Yu could accept Yun Hanrui, Bai Feifei believed she could also be accepted by Ting Yu!

Suddenly, Bai Feifei saw a figure appearing in front of the car; she quickly slammed on the brakes, and the car made a screeching sound as it stopped right in front of the person.

Bai Feifei was furious, thinking it was reckless for someone to dash onto the road like that. Did this person have a death wish?

But before Bai Feifei could speak, the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared looked at Bai Feifei, and she felt as though she was in an ice house, a chill penetrating her completely!

"Who is this? His gaze is so cold!" Bai Feifei shivered.

"Young lady, come out. I have something I need to discuss with your lover!" the middle-aged man said in a low voice, his tone brooking no argument.

"Who are you?" Bai Feifei's eyes shone with determination, now that Ling Feng was completely powerless, she needed to protect him!

"Oh? To have such courage, it seems the daughter of the Bai Family is not just a flimsy damsel. Don't worry, I mean no harm. Oh, by the way, my name is Long Guangyi!"
