Watching Long Guangyi act as if he had him figured out, Ling Feng felt so irritated that his teeth itched. He quickly and simply recounted the course of events, of course, there were certain details that Ling Feng did not share with Long Guangyi, such as the matter of entrusting the Tian Cong Yun Sword to Inoue Sakura.

"There are still many details you haven't made clear!" Long Guangyi said indifferently, "What's the deal with that girl named Inoue Sakura?"

Ling Feng replied indifferently, "That matter is irrelevant to the mission; I'm under no obligation to answer you!"

"Quite a character, aren't you!" Long Guangyi said with a smile, "Ling Feng, how do you think you did on your mission?"

Ling Feng frowned, "According to you, the Kuroteng Family has been annihilated, and the Divine Ninja of Fusang has been killed. Is there something you're still dissatisfied with?"

"Dissatisfied?" Long Guangyi's expression darkened, and he spoke in a low voice, "Dissatisfaction is putting it mildly—I'm extremely angry. Do you still have the face to ask me for the antidote? That's wishful thinking!"

Long Guangyi's voice carried an immense pressure, and Ling Feng instantly felt as if a mountain had been placed on his shoulders!

"Are you going back on your word?" Ling Feng straightened his back, a sharp aura emanating from him as if to shred this pressure.

Long Guangyi said coldly, "I've said it before, Long Guangyi never goes back on his word, and I never flip-flop. But your actions have greatly disappointed me, extremely disappointed!"

"I'd like to hear why!" Ling Feng glared at Long Guangyi and said, "If you fob me off with some other excuse, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

Ling Feng felt his patience reaching its limit. If it weren't for the antidote, he wouldn't have bothered heeding Long Guangyi's order to go to Fusang. But now that Long Guangyi was actually considering reneging on his promise, that was crossing Ling Feng's bottom line!

"You want to hear it? Fine, I'll tell you why I'm so disappointed in you!" Long Guangyi glanced at Ling Feng and continued, "Ling Feng, I tasked you with annihilating the Kuroteng Family and slaying the Divine Ninja of Fusang, to let the Fusang people know that those who offend Huaxia, though far away, will be pursued and punished! But what happened?"

At this point, Long Guangyi suddenly stared at Ling Feng, his gaze sharp as two swords, making Ling Feng feel as if there were thorns on his back.

"But what happened? The Kuroteng Family was wiped out by the Sun God! The Divine Ninja of Fusang was also killed in battle with the Sun God. What did you do?" Long Guangyi said coldly.

Ling Feng spoke in a deep voice, "I believe I've already made it very clear that this was part of my plan..."

"Your plan? Did I need you to scheme for me?" Long Guangyi said, "What I wanted was deterrence, to show the entire Underworld that there are consequences for offending Huaxia! But now, everyone in the Underworld knows that the Kuroteng Family was wiped out by the Sun God, and the China Dragon Group is just a bunch of cowards who only know how to spout slogans?"

Ling Feng's heart tightened. He seemed to understand where Long Guangyi's displeasure stemmed from!

Looking at Ling Feng, Long Guangyi said, "Actually, I don't care if you really completed the task or not. What I wanted was for the whole world to witness the valor of the China Dragon Group. The saying 'those who offend Huaxia, though far away, will be pursued and punished' isn't empty talk! Yet your actions have greatly disappointed me because, although the Kuroteng Family has been destroyed, you have damaged the reputation of the China Dragon Group!"

Clutching his fists and gritting his teeth, Ling Feng did not want to acknowledge Long Guangyi's words, but he understood in his heart that Long Guangyi was right. Long Guangyi sent him to Fusang to enhance the prestige of the China Dragon Group, but he only thought about completing the mission, without considering this aspect!

"I think you should understand now!" Long Guangyi said coldly, "I know the demise of the Kuroteng Family was part of your calculations, but does anyone else know that? Do you understand what you did wrong?"

Ling Feng stared doggedly at Long Guangyi, flames of anger seeming to leap from his eyes, but Long Guangyi didn't care at all and just looked at Ling Feng indifferently, waiting for his response.

"I... understand!" Ling Feng finally squeezed these words through gritted teeth, feeling an overwhelming sense of weariness rising within him.

After nearly a month of exhausting effort, he had not only failed to obtain the antidote but had also been chastised by Long Guangyi, which fueled the fire of rage in Ling Feng's heart.

"You are not a hopeless case after all!" Long Guangy put away his formidable presence and said lightly, "Since you know you were wrong, go back and write a self-criticism of ten thousand words. Analyze in detail where you went wrong and what you should do in the future!"

Ling Feng clenched his teeth and then turned to leave. If he stayed any longer, he might draw his sword against Long Guangyi!

"Hold on!" At this moment, Long Guangyi's voice came from behind Ling Feng.

Ling Feng turned his head to find a White Jade Vase appearing before his eyes.

Ling Feng took the White Jade Vase as Long Guangyi said, "This contains the first phase of the antidote. Let my senior brother take it and he should be able to move around again within half a month; though he won't regain his full strength, he won't have to be looked after by others all the time like now."

Ling Feng was moved, holding the vase tightly. He eyed Long Guangyi with suspicion and said hoarsely, "Why!"

The mission was such a failure; why would he still give me the antidote? Ling Feng was baffled and did not believe that Long Guangyi would suddenly become so generous as to hand over the antidote!

"Hmph, your mission was indeed a failure, but there's one thing you did quite well!" Long Guangyi said coldly, "You left the Inoue Family as a chess piece in Fusang. That move is worth rewarding, as it's greatly beneficial for our future plans! So, this antidote is your reward!"

Ling Feng had mixed feelings. He had thought he would not get the antidote, but unexpectedly, Long Guangyi had handed it over to him after all.

Watching Ling Feng staring blankly, Long Guangyi spoke in a measured tone, "I've said it before, my word is law! Although you botched the mission, the spy network you've established is indeed a highlight. Errors must be investigated, but achievements must be rewarded! This is my principle, Long Guangyi!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath, holding the vase as he turned and left. Inwardly, he silently said, "Thank you!"

Watch Ling Feng's departing back view, Long Guangyi stroked his chin: "I didn't expect this guy to really stir up such a mess in Fusang; he truly is the disciple I had my eye on. However, you're still quite green, don't worry, I'll train you slowly! I believe you will become the sharpest sword in my hand and definitely help me achieve my ambitions... The China Dragon Group should not be confined; this world will sooner or later submit to the might of the Dragon Group!"

The moment he got the antidote, Ling Feng rushed nonstop to Uncle Liu's sickroom and handed over the antidote.

Upon pouring out the antidote, it was a red pill that gave off a rather eerie vibe.

"Dad, are you sure you want to take this medicine?" Liu Tingyu asked worriedly, "What exactly is Long Guangyi's scheme here?"

"Don't worry, if Long Guangyi wanted to harm me, he would have done it long ago!" Liu Chengfeng said with a smile, "Good daughter, put the antidote in my mouth!"
