Super War God in the City-Chapter 484 - Wolong Garden
Imperial Capital, suburban area, mountains stretching endlessly, dense fog hanging low, the sky somewhat gloomy.
A vastly extensive, heavily guarded garden estate nestled here, the architecture not strikingly majestic, yet blending with nature, exuding a dignified aura!
Ling Fan and Ye Long stood outside the high walls and green tiles, in front of a black iron gate, above which 'Wolong Garden' was inscribed in slightly worn characters!
"This is Wolong Garden. When we meet Old Yun in a bit, don't call him by his name directly, Old Yun is a well-known Veteran of the current era, only at Grandmaster Realm in cultivation, but his strategies surpass many, living in seclusion here!" Ye Long said lightly.
"Oh! Understood!" Ling Fan responded lightly upon hearing this.
Just then, a guard came out and nodded to Ye Long, "Commander Ye, the chief invites you!"
"Hmm!" Ye Long nodded his head.
Then he said to Ling Fan, "Let's go inside!"
Following behind Ye Long, Ling Fan entered the gate, passed through the corridor, and crossed the front courtyard, where every five steps there was a pavilion and every ten steps a gazebo— the vast garden lush with vegetation.

Although he hadn't seen many guards along the way, his Divine Sense detected dozens of hidden experts in the vicinity.
According to Ye Long, although it seemed there were few people in this garden, in actuality, no less than a hundred people guarded it around the clock.
Soon, Ling Fan followed Ye Long into the back courtyard, stepped over the threshold, and saw a man in his seventies sitting beside the lotus pond in the middle of the yard, casting fish food into the water.
The old man wore a Sun Yat-sen suit, sleeves rolled up, with his shirt unbuttoned, sitting on a small stool, beside him a slate table with a few empty teacups on it!
At that moment, a bespectacled, scholarly middle-aged man came over carrying a teapot.
"Commander Ye, you're here. The old master has been waiting for a while!" the middle-aged man said cheerfully.
"Haha, long time no see. Ling Fan, this is Secretary Song," Ye Long introduced.
Ling Fan politely greeted him, following the two to the stone table.
The old man scattered the last of the fish feed from his hand, clapped his hands, and then turned to look at Ling Fan, "So you're Ling Fan? Known overseas as War Emperor Ling Beiming? Quite a domineering name, yet wasn't there someone who almost blasted you to death with a mere shell?
So, it's better to keep a low profile in life!"
Ling Fan, "..."
Ye Long scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward. This old gentleman really didn't hold back in his words; he truly feared Ling Fan might start a fight right here due to his hot temper!
"Old geezer, what are you talking about!" Ling Fan said irritably, having regained his composure.
Ye Long immediately broke into a sweat, and Secretary Song's face also stiffened momentarily. Serving the old gentleman for so many years, he had never seen anyone dare to speak like that!
"Heh heh, what now, can't handle the truth?" The old man huffed with a chuckle.
He then picked up the teapot Secretary Song had placed on the stone table and filled the teacups in front of him.
"This is from a few of my subordinates who paid their respects a few days ago. They said it was picked from a few mother plants clinging to the cliffs of Nine Dragons Nest. Let's taste it together!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Fan was secretly startled. The best of this stuff, in its peak year, doesn't yield more than a few hundred grams; it was absolutely top-notch!
He didn't hesitate and had yet to taste this high-grade Da Hong Pao!
At the first sip, the rocky, floral fragrance lingered, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste!
"Excellent tea!" Ling Fan exclaimed.
Seeing that the two didn't start arguing, Ye Long finally felt relieved. Although it was great tea, he hadn't discerned its special taste; he just worried that Ling Fan might lose his temper and offend Old Yun.
Just then, he somewhat regretted bringing this guy along.
"Has the Long Family been wiped out?" The old gentleman suddenly spoke.
Ling Fan was startled and stared at the old man, "What do you mean? Are you hoping I wiped out the Long Family?"
"Oh, so they haven't been wiped out. Why are you here then?
Handling matters half-heartedly, lacking any domineering spirit. A vendetta as deep as patricide and matricide, shouldn't it warrant annihilating their clan? What's the point of killing a few underlings?
You're just like your master, indecisive!" The old man sipped his tea, glanced at Ling Fan with disdain, and snorted.
Official Ling was somewhat speechless, wondering if the old man had taken the wrong medication—mad, perhaps even senile!
Ye Long sweat formed on his forehead, knowing this was just the old gentleman's character, coming from a war-torn era deep in his bones.
"Haha! Wait for me a moment!" Ling Fan sneered, immediately got up, and walked outside.
"Beiming, what are you doing?" Ye Long looked confused and quickly called out.
"I'm going to wipe out the Long Family first, then come back for tea. Since someone's got my back, I'm not afraid at all!" Official Ling sneered quietly and said.
Ye Long and Secretary Song exchanged glances, speechless for a moment!
The old man couldn't help but click his teeth, immediately saying irritably: "You little brat, get back here. If things get messy, you clean up your own mess; no one's covering for you!"
On hearing this, Ling Fan returned with a smile, "Old geezer, don't have the guts to cover for me, what bullshit were you spouting?"
The old man's face turned dark with anger, realizing this young rascal was indeed hard to manage!
He took a deep breath and then said to Ye Long and Secretary Song, "Stop the nonsense, you two step aside, I have something to discuss with this youngster alone!"
