Following Yun Yang, Ling Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself as he observed Yun Yang's steady and leisurely pace.

If Yun Yang were angry, it should be apparent from his stride, but now... with his unhurried manner, where did he resemble an angry old man? Moreover, Ling Feng didn't detect any signs of irritation emanating from Yun Yang.

Just as Ling Feng was considering whether to break the awkward silence, Yun Yang suddenly stopped, "We're here, go in!"

Looking up, Ling Feng saw that the teahouse before him was the very one where he had first met Yun Yang after returning to the country.

After they were seated, Ling Feng watched Yun Yang preparing tea and began to feel uneasy. He said with a wry smile, "Uncle Yun, if you want to scold or hit me, I absolutely won't dodge!"

"Young man, don't be so impatient!" said Yun Yang calmly. "Can't you see I am making tea? Frustration and chaos can't produce good tea!"

Moments later, Yun Yang paused his actions and looked at Ling Feng, "Xiao Feng, I think you know very well that your Aunt Yun and I have always treated you as family. With Guo Liang gone, I've always considered myself as one of your elders."

Ling Feng nodded earnestly, "Uncle Yun, I know all this, and I'm very grateful for the care and love you and Aunt Yun have given me."

"It's good that you understand!" Yun Yang continued, "Actually, at the beginning, I really wanted to match you with Xiao Rui, but at that time, neither of you understood each other, so you both rejected the idea!"

At the mention of this, Ling Feng's face showed a bit of embarrassment. At the time, neither of them had any special feelings for each other—Yun Hanrui even disliked him. Yet unexpectedly, after more than half a year had passed, they had become the closest of lovers. Indeed, life is unpredictable!

"I'm telling you this not to embarrass you," Yun Yang said indifferently. "You should also be aware that from the beginning, your Aunt Yun and I have hoped that you two would come together, and now that you have, the outcome is quite unsatisfactory to your Aunt Yun and me!"

"Uncle Yun, I truly like Xiao Rui!" Ling Feng said earnestly. "I know what you're worried about. I am not a heartless scammer or a scumbag! I'm sincere with every relationship, heartfelt and genuine! It may sound irresponsible to you, but I still have to say that in my heart, Ting Yu and Xiao Rui are equally important. For them, I would willingly go through fire and water!"

"What you said is indeed irresponsible!" Yun Yang nodded, "But at least you're a responsible irresponsible man, and that's not too bad! Actually, these past few days, Xiao Rui and I have been in a cold war, and I've also been contemplating whether I was wrong, whether I should try to see things from Xiao Rui's perspective."

As he said this, Yun Yang poured the tea and gently added, "Actually, as a parent, the greatest wish is to see one's children live a happy and fulfilling life. If Xiao Rui can be happy with you, I really can't think of a reason to disagree!"

Joy spread across Ling Feng's face, "Really? Uncle Yun, rest assured, I'll definitely make Xiao Rui happy! I stake my life on it!"

Yun Yang gave a light smile, "I won't trust your guarantee right now! Nor will I feel reassured to entrust my daughter to you just because of a few words! Ling Feng, it's precisely because you are Ling Feng that your Aunt Yun and I are willing to trust you this one time and give you a chance. If you make Xiao Rui sad even once by the end of the year, I won't forgive you. Do you understand?"

Ling Feng, with a solemn expression, assured, "Uncle Yun, don't worry, I can't bear to make Xiao Rui feel sad, not just for this half-year, but for all the days I have left in my life!"

Looking at Ling Feng's resolute and handsome appearance, Yun Yang sighed internally. At their level, notions of status and conventional morals could no longer constrain their thoughts—they addressed issues by looking directly at their core!

Dealing with Yun Hanrui's issue naturally meant considering Yun Hanrui's happiness! Life is about living for oneself, not about existing just to catch the eyes of others. As for so-called propriety, it's nothing more than a secular notion that has emerged to adapt to the changes of the times!

The essence of the human world still remains the survival of the fittest!

However, Yun Yang had not originally planned to "forgive" Ling Feng so quickly. After all, things gained too easily are often not cherished, and he felt that he had to give Ling Feng a bit of a hard time!

But he had forgotten the old saying, "A grown daughter can't be retained,"! Since he had driven Ling Feng out of the house, for the past half month, Yun Hanrui had rather stay at Ling Feng's house than return to her own, even though the two homes were less than a ten-minute walk apart!

"Sigh, if it wasn't for Xiao Rui being such a stubborn girl, I would have made sure to add some more difficulty for you!" Yun Yang looked at Ling Feng's joyous face, a slight smile also appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Rather than entrusting my daughter to the hands of a strange man, it's better to hand her over to Ling Feng. After all, Xiao Feng isn't an outsider, is he?"

...

On his way to Dragon Group, Ling Feng couldn't help but reveal a silly grin, he truly hadn't expected Uncle Yun to let him off so easily!

Although there was a six-month review period, Ling Feng believed in himself. He was determined to prove his true love for Yun Hanrui and win over Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun with his actions!

Arriving at Dragon Group, Ling Feng calmed the excitement in his heart, and he first went to visit Uncle Liu in the hospital.

Liu Tingyu was very happy about Ling Feng's return, and Uncle Liu also asked concernedly about his mission execution in Fusang.

Seeing that Uncle Liu's complexion was not bad, although he still couldn't move, there was a hint of rosiness on his face, and he didn't look as pale as before.

After talking for a while, Ling Feng went to find Long Guangyi to report on his mission. Liu Tingyu and Ling Feng hugged and kissed tightly in the corridor before Ling Feng reluctantly walked towards Long Guangyi's office.

"How did the mission go?" Approaching Long Guangyi's office, Long Guangyi asked without lifting his head.

"Everything went smoothly!" Ling Feng said coldly, "The Kuroteng Family has been eradicated, and the Divine Ninja of Fusang is dead. I have completed the mission you gave me! Now, are you going to keep your promise?"

"My promise?" Long Guangyi looked up at Ling Feng, "What promise do you want me to fulfill?"

"Of course, to hand over the antidote that will cure Uncle Liu!" Ling Feng said gravely, "You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

Long Guangyi laughed scornfully, "Who do you think I, Long Guangyi, am? How could I possibly go back on my word to my favorite disciple? But, don't you think you should tell me about the process when asking for your reward?"

Speaking, Long Guangyi leaned back, looking at Ling Feng with a smirk, "Go on, tell me, I'm all ears and ready to listen!"
