In the main hall.
Li Yizhen and Luo Jiuying watched as Lin Fan returned.
They hurriedly stood up, faces filled with respect.
"Boss, how is Miss Shangguan’s illness?"
"Everyone has left, so she must be fine."
Lin Fan nonchalantly sat down in the main seat.
He reached out, grabbed the teacup, and took a sip.
"Boss, I’ve already given Gu Changqing first aid, but I’m afraid his arm is completely ruined. We’ve definitely made enemies with the Gong Family this ti."
Li Yizhen looked at Lin Fan with a worried face.
Gong Tianao’s setback won’t be easily settled this ti.
The retaliation from the Gong Family could co at any ti.
"The younger apprentice sister has already gone to contact the Dragon’s Fang headquarters, hoping they will intervene and settle this conflict."
Luo Jiuying couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
All of today’s events started because of him.
He didn’t want to see Lin Fan suffer because of this.
"If soldiers co, we will block them; if water cos, we will cover it with earth. I’ll bear the consequences of my actions. If the Gong Family really wants to provoke , I don’t mind wiping them out."
Lin Fan didn’t put the Gong Family in his eyes at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have intervened to treat Shangguan Min Yue.
"Who are you planning to wipe out now? Is there no law left?"
At that mont, Zhao Jiaqi’s voice rang out.
She, dressed in a short skirt, strode in.
"Junior apprentice sister, you’re finally back. What did Dragon’s Fang say?"
Luo Jiuying asked eagerly with concern on his face.
"Brother, your wounds haven’t healed yet. Let the Divine Doctor accompany you to rest. I have sothing I need to discuss privately with Lin Fan."
Taking a sip from her teacup,
Zhao Jiaqi then spoke.
Clearly, there were so trifles inconvenient for too many ears.
Li Yizhen and Luo Jiuying hurriedly made their exit.
"Do we need to be so secretive about it?"
Lin Fan looked at Zhao Jiaqi’s deliberately mystifying manner.
He couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"Why can’t you appreciate what’s good for you? I just wore my lips out persuading our district leader to step in and fix your problem with the Gong Family. You’re not even thankful, and you accuse of being secretive."
Zhao Jiaqi said, setting down her teacup.
"Wore out your lips, huh? That must have taken a lot of effort. Your district chief is a man, right?"
Lin Fan’s mischievous smile made Zhao Jiaqi, who had regained composure, blush.
"Hey, Wolf King, can’t you be more serious? Always trying to take advantage of young girls?"
"Oh ho ho, ’young girls,’ really flattering yourself there,"
Lin Fan snorted coldly, "What ’young girl’ harbors such vicious sches? If it weren’t for you insisting on bringing up last ti’s incident to provoke Gong Tianao, would things have escalated this much? I feel like you’re up to no good."
"How am I up to no good? I just wanted to show how important the nation is. Even if you now leave the Wolf Fang and return ho, you still need organizational support in the country. Why not join my team? I’ll give you the position of deputy team leader. With the Dragon’s Fang banner, you don’t have to worry about anyone daring to touch you."
Zhao Jiaqi blinked, a sly smile on her face.
This was her goal, to recruit Lin Fan into the Dragon’s Fang.
"Dream on, still make a deputy team leader? I see you’re nothing but an empty commander. Don’t think that because I’m not with Dragon’s Fang, I don’t know about their setup. Your team leader title is just an empty designation, you don’t even have any team mbers to show for it."
Lin Fan rolled his eyes.
"What do you an by ’empty gestures,’ what do you an by ’empty promises?’ Let tell you, I don’t have team mbers because I have high standards. Ordinary people just can’t catch my eye. The team mbers I want must be the best of the best, allowing you to join is a complint to you, giving you a chance to shine," Zhao Jiaqi imdiately retorted.
However, her defense seed so pale under Lin Fan’s gaze.
She really was just a nominal leader without any subordinates.
"Forget it, keep this opportunity for yourself. I’m not playing with you. But of course, you can ask Li Qiqi if she wants to join your group—she’ll have soone to hang out with when shopping. I’m not interested in playing house with you."
Lin Fan stood up and walked straight out.
After a busy day,
he had missed several calls from Yang Linglong.
The date that was interrupted last night needed to be rescheduled for tonight.
"What do you an by playing house? I’m quite serious, and the Dragon Teeth offer such good benefits. Think about it again?"
Zhao Jiaqi hurried after him.
Just then, Li Qiqi, wearing an apron, hurried over.
Her lips pursed, she looked charming.
"Lin Fan, I know I was wrong. I won’t slander you ever again. I’ve made so food especially for you. Can you give a chance to make ands?"
"I have sothing important tonight, so I probably won’t make it for dinner. However, your friend Jiaqi is free. You can have dinner and chat with her; it might be informative."
Lin Fan turned his head back with a smile and looked at Zhao Jiaqi.
"Mr. Zhao, as a guest who has co from afar, I should, by all rights, invite you for a al. However, I’m occupied tonight and can’t accompany you. Don’t leave yet. Stay here for dinner. I’ll think over the matter you ntioned earlier."
"You really an that?" Zhao Jiaqi asked eagerly, not suspecting a trick.
"Absolutely, make sure you eat plenty tonight and don’t let Qi Qi’s efforts go to waste!"
After saying this, Lin Fan walked towards the door without looking back.
As if he had wings on his feet, fearing that any slowdown would force him to face those dreadful dishes.
"Making dinner sound like so terrible ordeal, the delicacy you can’t appreciate, I’ll take care of!" Zhao Jiaqi shouted at Lin Fan’s retreating figure with a hint of reluctance.
But Li Qiqi caught a different nuance in her words.
"Jiaqi, maybe we should forget it, why don’t you go out to eat instead?"
"What, it’s okay for that scoundrel to eat but not ? Are these so kind of love-filled bento boxes or sothing?" Zhao Jiaqi asked curiously.
"It’s just so ho cooking... I’m worried it won’t taste good, and you might not be used to it. Maybe we should just go out to eat after all." Li Qiqi pursed her lips.
She wasn’t really confident in her cooking.
"Why wouldn’t I be used to it? Let tell you, I co from a special forces background, I’ve eaten all sorts of things. During training, we even had a wilderness survival course. The things we ate back then were so disgusting. Sotis I still wake up from the nightmares."
Casually draping her arm over Li Qiqi’s shoulder, Zhao Jiaqi walked towards the dining room.
After all the hustle, she felt hungry.
"What did you eat during wilderness survival?" Li Qiqi asked curiously.
"Oh, so many things: raw snake at, fish, wild rabbit, and the worst was ants and grasshoppers. Anything you can think of, I’ve eaten it. I rember once we were even forced to eat raw rat pups. I never want to go through that wilderness survival again," Zhao Jiaqi said with a mournful expression. "Forget it, let’s not talk about those disgusting things anymore. It’s making nauseous just thinking about it. Let’s see what delicious dishes our kind and capable Qi Qi has prepared."
As she lifted the lid covering the dishes on the table,
her eyes t a blur of colorful food that made her dizzy.
She recognized all the ingredients.
But why did none of the colors look right?
"Qi Qi, tell honestly, did you really not put any poison in this? How about I show you how to swallow a raw rat pup instead?"
