Chapter 1781: Chapter 1713: Top Expert (Part 3)
The power of the two people clashing was imnse, leaving deep footprints in the ground, their limbs colliding with resounding noise.
When Liu Bai engaged with the newcor, he discovered it was a young girl, surprisingly, she had cultivated Four ridians True Qi. With Song Xiaodong and others around, he found himself at a disadvantage. He didn’t linger and turned to flee.
From Song Xiaodong and others’ perspective, they saw two shadows darting back and forth. Suddenly, one shadow flew away, and the other chased after it, leaving the three behind.
However, Song Xiaodong felt that this person looked sowhat familiar.
“Xiaodong, who is this person?” Sun Yiyi asked.
“Within Dragon Gate, apart from the Vice Sect Leader, Elders, Warriors, and outer disciples, there is also a secret force, codenad Hidden Dragon,” Song Xiaodong explained.
“Hidden Dragon?”
“The role of Elder Warriors requires not only strength but also leadership skills, while Hidden Dragon, as a secret force, only recruits loyal and unparalleled masters, primarily responsible for protecting the Sect Leader, usually staying concealed and almost never deployed unless the Sect Leader is in danger,” Song Xiaodong continued.
“So, you already knew soone was secretly protecting you,” Sun Yiyi pursed her lips.
“Yes, we worried in vain, how annoying,” Chu Xianling said.
“Indeed, from the mont I stepped on the island, I noticed it,” Song Xiaodong said.
Song Xiaodong discovered the existence of Hidden Dragon from the archives in the Dragon Gate Secret Vault. The Sect Leader and Young Master had been under the protection of Hidden Dragon since birth. Reviewing his life, many peculiar events suddenly made sense, realizing the Hidden Dragon had always been safeguarding him.
Upon arriving on the island, Song Xiaodong sensed soone monitoring him.
“Since assuming the role of Sect Leader, I’ve gained new insights into True Qi cultivation. Though I haven’t had the opportunity to verify, I’ve seen signs of breakthrough. Upon arriving on the island, I detected experts nearby and could tell they were from Dragon Gate because of the presence of traces of the elixir I refined in their aura,” said Song Xiaodong.
“So that’s how it is, why didn’t you tell us?” Sun Yiyi asked angrily.
“There wasn’t ti,” Song Xiaodong explained.
“I thought we were going to die together,” Chu Xianling said.
“Yes, if you were killed, we would have definitely fought that old man to the end!” Sun Yiyi remarked.
“But who is this person? They can rival that old man,” Chu Xianling inquired.
“Indeed, this person might be even more formidable than you, the Sect Leader,” Sun Yiyi comnted.
Song Xiaodong smiled wryly.
“Probably a Four ridians True Qi master as well,” Chu Xianling speculated.
“Yes, truly a top master. Even us three with Three ridians True Qi couldn’t resist, along with the Three Talents Formation,” Sun Yiyi said.
“This person, I’ve seen sowhere before,” Song Xiaodong pondered.
Chapter 1715 Is Patriarch Chen alright?
The next day, Song Xiaodong, Sun Yiyi, and Chu Xianling boarded a plane back ho.
In the afternoon, Song Xiaodong’s group arrived in Beijing.
The golden autumn of September covered forests with frost, the sky washed to azure, the air crisp and clouds light.
The Patriarch of the Chen Family, one of the top four families in Beijing, was on the brink of death. Since the day before yesterday, they’ve been seeking Song Shenzhen’s whereabouts, making 13 calls to Song Xiaodong in one day. The Su and Yang families, along with the He family, hold significant positions in Beijing, yet the Chen Family humbles itself to search for Song Shenzhen, giving much face to Song Xiaodong.
Therefore, Song Xiaodong flew directly to Beijing, providing Patriarch Chen so relief, making the Chen Family owe Song Xiaodong a favor, which would elevate the Su Family’s standing in Beijing.
The Chen Family sent over ten cars, including a coffin-like gray Bentley, beside which stood a sixty-sothing man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, gray-haired, with a general’s belly and an anxious expression. His na was Chen Lin, the eldest son of Patriarch Chen, and current Family Head of the Chen Family, overseeing all matters within the family.
“Is Patriarch Chen alright?” Song Xiaodong asked with concern.
“Ah, Mr. Song, we’ve been eagerly waiting for you, it must have been a tiring journey. Our patriarch hasn’t woken in three days, Mr. Song, please take a look. If you can help him catch a breath, I’ll give you half of our family’s assets!” Chen Lin offered with the opening of his mouth.
“Let’s talk on the way.”
Over ten luxury cars traveled on the road, causing other vehicles to steer clear, ensuring an unprecedented orderly traffic, flowing unimpeded during the evening rush hour.
“My granddaughter-in-law is about to give birth, and the patriarch will soon see his great-grandson. The due date is next week. My father values family legacy the most. When he was conscious, he always said that seeing his great-grandchild would allow him to rest in peace,” Chen Lin comnted while seated next to Song Xiaodong.
“You want
to treat the patriarch just so he can et his great-grandchild?” Song Xiaodong asked with a smile.
“Hmph, old fox, spare
the emotional tactic. In a wealthy family, there are no genuine father-son ties; you just want the patriarch to live a few more days to benefit from his connections,” Song Xiaodong thought to himself.
“Mr. Song may not know, but Beijing’s undergoing major changes recently. Our families might face tough tis in the future. Even if the patriarch lives a few more days, can he stand against them?” Chen Lin made aningful remarks to Mr. Song.
“Our Chen family is preparing to emigrate,” Chen Lin remarked as he gazed at the towering buildings outside the window.
“Families like yours can’t easily leave the country, right?” Song Xiaodong asked calmly.
