"Congratulations, Master, on fully recovering your strength!" Bai Feifei's eyes were filled with joy. No matter what, although Liu Chengfeng had been selfish at times, he had always been very responsible toward Bai Feifei, earning her deep respect for her master.
"Feifei, you're here too!" Liu Chengfeng's gaze carried a meaningful trace as it lingered on Bai Feifei and Ling Feng's faces.
Bai Feifei's cheeks turned slightly red, but Ling Feng, with his thick skin, acted nonchalant and said, "Uncle Liu, your body just recovered and you've already left the Dragon Group. Looks like you've come here to take refuge!"
Liu Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "Refuge? That's nonsense. I just don't want to meddle in Dragon Group's affairs anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Feifei sensibly smiled and said, "Master, I'll go find Mistress. You two have a chat!"
With that, Bai Feifei gave a slight bow and quickly walked into the villa.
"Back when I took Feifei as my apprentice, I intended for her to stay away from you! But who would've thought, even without her by your side, you managed to attract other women one after another!" Liu Chengfeng shot a disdainful glance at Ling Feng. "I don't even know what's so great about you. Despite your incorrigible womanizing ways, my daughter insists on being with you. Truly exasperating!"
Ling Feng scratched his nose awkwardly. "Ting Yu was moved by my sincerity…"
"Oh, you've got a big heart, all right!" Liu Chengfeng retorted. "There's room for so many women!"
Ling Feng felt a little embarrassed. "Uncle Liu, can we avoid this topic?"
"Fine!" Liu Chengfeng said with mild disinterest. "I don't want to interfere in you young people's affairs anymore. As long as Ting Yu is happy, it's fine! Still, it's a bit of a bargain for a rascal like you."
Glancing at the surrounding environment, Liu Chengfeng added, "Since you're not busy now, why not accompany me for a walk?"
Ling Feng's villa occupied a large area, with carefully designed landscaping around it. At this time of year, birds were chirping and flowers were in full bloom. Walking along the stone paths, the rich Vital Energy mixed with the fragrance of flowers greeted them, creating an invigorating and refreshing sensation.
"Your place really is a paradise on earth." Liu Chengfeng sighed. "There's a Formation beneath Panlong Mountain, and your villa happens to sit right on the Formation Eye, doesn't it?"
Ling Feng nodded. "Uncle Liu, you truly have a sharp eye. That's exactly the case, and this Formation is even connected to the Hell's Gate organization!"
"There's a Hell's Gate presence in Huaxia too?" Liu Chengfeng frowned. "The Underworld is becoming increasingly turbulent. It seems that something big is about to happen soon!"
Ling Feng chose not to respond. If possible, even if the Underworld were to descend into chaos, Ling Feng wouldn't care!
"If you'd like, Uncle Liu, you could move in here." Ling Feng smiled. "I'm sure Ting Yu would be thrilled!"
"Ting Yu might be thrilled, but I know you wouldn't be!" Liu Chengfeng teased. "If I moved in, your harem might find it inconvenient to join you here, wouldn't they?"
Before Ling Feng could respond, Liu Chengfeng laughed and said, "Although the Vital Energy here is abundant, it's of no significant help to your Aunt Wan and me. Besides, it's not like we don't have a place to stay in Yanjing. This place is better left for you young ones. My visit this time is actually for an important matter I need to discuss with you!"
Ling Feng's face revealed an expression of inevitability. "I had a feeling, Uncle Liu. Please, go ahead."
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Chengfeng said, "Yesterday, after regaining my strength, Elder Chen and the others reached out to me again. After deliberating throughout the night, I've decided to confront Long Guangyi."
Ling Feng frowned. "Uncle Liu, are you really planning to fight Long Guangyi?"
Though Liu Chengfeng had regained his strength, Ling Feng couldn't muster much optimism. To this day, Long Guangyi hadn't revealed all his cards. If there were another battle, Liu Chengfeng would likely end up defeated.
Of course, as Liu Chengfeng's son-in-law, Ling Feng certainly wouldn't say this outright to him.
"Fighting isn't the only way to resolve this!" Ling Feng said. "You've also mentioned that the Underworld is in turmoil, and now is the time for us to cooperate. If we continue to fight…"
"Who said I was going to fight Long Guangyi?" Liu Chengfeng rolled his eyes at Ling Feng. "Besides, I know I'm not Long Guangyi's match! My junior brother's original strength wasn't inferior to mine, and after two decades of secluded cultivation, I have no idea what his limits are now! What I meant by confrontation was to discuss the future of the Dragon Group with him!"
Ling Feng let out a sigh of relief. If it was just a discussion, he had been nervous for nothing!
But on second thought, if it was merely to discuss the Dragon Group's future, why would Uncle Liu need to bring this up to him?
Thinking of this, Ling Feng looked at Liu Chengfeng. "Uncle Liu, what exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to split the Dragon Group into two!" Liu Chengfeng said seriously, looking at Ling Feng. "The internal conflicts within the Dragon Group are incessant. If this continues, even without implementing Long Guangyi's expansion plans, the group will collapse under its own infighting! So, the only solution now is to divide the Dragon Group into two!"
"Divide it into two!" Ling Feng looked at Liu Chengfeng in shock. "Uncle Liu, do you think my master will agree to this?"
"He has to agree!" Liu Chengfeng said firmly. "The Dragon Group can't keep tearing itself apart. Even though he wants to realize his ambitions, it can't come at the cost of suppressing Elders who don't share his vision!"
Liu Chengfeng continued, "Long Guangyi also knows very well that if those people leave, the Dragon Group's strength will take a significant hit. So, he'll agree to my plan as well!"
Ling Feng exhaled deeply. "What do you need me to do?"
Liu Chengfeng turned to Ling Feng. "I need you to continue staying with Long Guangyi. Even if the Dragon Group splits, I want you to support him instead of siding with me!"
Surprised, Ling Feng asked, "Uncle Liu, why is that?"
"I know my junior brother very well. He's proud and stubborn!" Liu Chengfeng said earnestly. "Once he sets his mind on something, no one can change it! So, even if the Dragon Group is divided, I worry he might take extreme actions. That's why I need you by Long Guangyi's side—to counsel him at the right time!"
"You're his apprentice and my son-in-law!" Liu Chengfeng said. "There are times and situations where only you can fulfill the role of mediator!"
Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Liu, you mean that if the Dragon Group does split, there will often be times when direct communication between you and him isn't feasible, so you need me as the go-between, right?"
