Super War God in the City-Chapter 488: The Tree Wants to be Still but the Wind Keeps Blowing

Watching the old man puff up his beard and glare, Ling Fan chuckled to himself and didn't bother with him.

"Ye Long, time to go, hurry up and get out once you're done!" Ling Fan shouted loudly.

Ye Long and Secretary Song hadn't been playing chess at all but were peering out the window, secretly watching the old man and Ling Fan!

"Secretary Song, let's go; we'll spar some other time!" Saying this, he immediately walked out the door and followed after Ling Fan.

The old man watched as Ling Fan and Ye Long disappeared at the doorway, puffing up his beard and glaring again.

"Commander, did that boy make you angry? That guy is probably a monkey; why get upset over him, it's not worth it!" Secretary Song immediately consoled him.

"Heh, you're right, although he didn't accept my conditions, he did make a gentleman's agreement with me!" the old man said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

"Hmm... I feel, given his complex background, if he really accepted the identity you offered, it might lead to some unnecessary trouble in the future!" Secretary Song couldn't help but softly voice his opinion.

Having been by the old man's side, Secretary Song had personally investigated many of Ling Fan's affairs and naturally knew some of Ling Fan's past experiences!

"You're right, that's what the boy said too!" the old man muttered sullenly.

"Heh, the guy's also sensible, but since he's made some promises, he must be trustworthy!" Secretary Song hesitated.

"Yes, the guy has some credibility, and fortunately, he values relationships and loyalty. Just keep him engaged and slowly influence him, just get him to owe me more favors!" Old Yun said faintly.

"That's true; in today's world, it's hard to find someone who values relationships as much as he does; guess that's his weakness!" Secretary Song sighed.

"It's also his charm; otherwise, do you think he could make such a big name for himself in the foreign underworld at such a young age? It's just..." Old Yun hesitated.

"Just what?" Secretary Song curiously pressed.

Old Yun picked up the Starlight Grass from the stone table with one hand and said faintly, "Getting this guy to owe me a favor won't be easy; this Starlight Grass alone balances out quite a few favors!"

"What is this?" Secretary Song looked curiously at the small, lush, misty grass in the old man's hand.

"He said this treasure could cure my chronic ailment of many years!" Old Yun said faintly.

Secretary Song was shocked; the old man's ailment was from battlefields in his early years, where, due to primitive conditions and limited medical skills, it wasn't cured and left lingering damage.

Although times have improved now, it's been too long, and it's too late for any treatment; many renowned doctors and PhD returnees have seen it but to no avail.

Once human physiological functions are damaged, sometimes they are irreversible; if Old Yun's cultivation wasn't profound, he would have long passed away!

Thus, although he has the stature of a Grandmaster Realm, he dares not easily engage in combat!

"Hehe, since the kid kindly offered it, why not? Lately, I've been feeling increasingly suffocated!" Old Yun muttered to himself, holding the Starlight Grass.

"Commander, should we test it first, just in case..." Secretary Song hurriedly said.

He was responsible for the old man's diet and daily care; if anything was wrong with this, it could cost him his head.

"Test my ass, that kid wouldn't harm me!" Old Yun glared and directly popped the Starlight Grass into his mouth and chewed.

Secretary Song, "...."

Outside Wolong Garden.

"Let's part ways here; I've got to pick up someone from the Long Family!" Ling Fan patted Ye Long on the shoulder.

"You've fulfilled your wishes in Huaxia, planning on making a comeback?" Ye Long asked.

Ling Fan remained silent, "My cultivation hasn't fully recovered, but being cautious should be fine. The main thing is you—don't get fooled like you did back then!

Damn, you screwed over a teammate, and I haven't even fully regained my Seventh Grade Wuxuan Realm strength yet; I can't save you again!" Ling Fan joked.

Ye Long felt a bit awkward at those words, "Then you take care too. Now that you control Zhongnan Five Peaks from within and have old members of the 'Hell Idlers' from outside, it looks like you're gearing up for a big fight!"

"Heh, a big fight—I don't dare claim that, but a gentleman must avenge his wrongs, see you!" Ling Fan waved and turned to leave.

Ye Long sighed; he felt that this guy's return might stir up another storm of blood and violence.

After they parted, Ling Fan took out his phone and immediately called Long Tianyu.

"Young Master Ling, what's up?" On the other end, Long Tianyu had just gotten home and, standing in the living room with his phone in both hands, spoke cautiously.

"Send Feng Shuya over!" Ling Fan stated flatly, gave the address, and hung up.

...

In Binzhou, Yun Fei's residence, several important women in Ling Fan's life were all there, but the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"These are the only two disciples I've taken; I need to save them. Tell Ling Fan when he comes back!" Yao Yue said, her face grim.

They had already received the message from Xiangjiang Tang Family, stating that the person was in their hands.

"Yao Yue, don't act rashly—the other party specifically asked for Ling Fan to come alone. If you rush over there, and if they get annoyed, what will we do if they tear up the ticket? Let's wait for Ling Fan to come back and then talk about it!" Yun Fei advised from beside her.

Yao Yue took a deep breath, feeling anxious, "Ling Fan hasn't even finished dealing with his own matters yet, alas, when it rains, it pours. I should have destroyed the Tang Family last time, rather than leaving them to cause trouble later!"

"Alright, let's not panic everyone, I'll call Ling Fan and see if I can get in touch!" Xiao Chubing spoke up calmly from the side.

She had just finished the handover work at the company and was about to head to Zhongnan with Yun Fei and a few others when this situation arose!

At that moment, Ling Fan had just contacted Feng Shuya who seemed to be unharmed, only a bit frightened.

When Feng Shuya saw Ling Fan, she threw herself at him, tears streaming down like rain.

Although she hadn't suffered physically too much in these last few days, the emotional turmoil had been torturous.

Fearful that Ling Fan would give up on her and not come, yet also fearful of falling into the hands of Long Tianjun and enduring inhuman torment, she had become visibly thinner in just a haze of confusion!

Ling Fan sighed inwardly, hesitated for a moment, and then gently patted Feng Shuya's back.

"It's alright now," Ling Fan said softly, comforting her.

"Ling Fan, you do like me, right?" Feng Shuya suddenly said, raising her misty, large eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ling Fan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had missed half a step, looking at the charmingly beautiful woman before him. To say he felt nothing would be a bit self-deceptive.

But, he had already gotten involved with enough women, and although Feng Shuya was the first he knew, he also had Xiao Chubing's approval!

However, he had been intentionally maintaining a distance with Feng Shuya, not wanting to cross that line of relationship.

This time, an inexplicable misunderstanding with Vermilion Bird had already been giving him a headache, and now Feng Shuya had appeared, Officer Ling Fan felt so wronged!

Feng Shuya had her own thoughts, feeling this might be her only chance in life. She had always kept her feelings suppressed, waiting for Officer Ling Fan to make a move!

But having gone through the recent events, she realized she was trapped in a severe error in thinking. In front of the person she liked, all that supposed restraint was worthless.

She could only watch as other women took steps ahead of her, occupying the limited space in this man's heart.

"Ling Fan, I like you. Everyone says I'm your woman, but I don't know when you started to intentionally distance yourself from me!

When you initially embraced me at Feng Family, pointing at Long Tianjun with dominance and proclaiming I was your woman, I already believed it then. Am I not worthy of you?" said Feng Shuya, her face filled with melancholy.

This time, no matter the outcome, she was determined to fight for herself. Initially, her interaction with Ling Fan was because of the Long Family.

Now that the matter with Long Tianjun had been resolved, if she didn't seize this last chance, there probably wouldn't be any more interactions between them in the future!

Ling Fan took a deep breath, realizing a very frustrating fact—he chose to distance himself to avoid causing harm to others.

However, he now realized that perhaps distancing himself was the greatest harm to these women.

"Sigh, I have many women, as you know. I can't give you everything, which isn't fair to any of you. In fact, I've been deliberately avoiding each of you," Ling Fan sighed.

"I don't care, whatever they can accept, I'm willing to accept too!" Feng Shuya's eyes, bright as sparkling stars, stared intensely at Ling Fan, filled with eager hope.

After a long contemplation, Ling Fan finally let out a light sigh, "After we go back, you should follow them to Zhongnan."

Upon hearing this, Feng Shuya burst into tears of joy, tiptoed, and pressed her moist lips passionately against his...

"Beep..."

Officer Ling Fan's untimely phone ringtone interrupted this steamy moment.

Feng Shuya, with a blushing face, moved away from Ling Fan's lips, and looked around, thankful that the area was secluded with no passersby, she had been too excited just before!

Officer Ling Fan savored the taste in his mouth, feeling somewhat unsatisfied!

He immediately wrapped one arm around Feng Shuya and with the other hand took out his phone, which Xiao Chubing had called, and he answered straightaway.

Listening to the voice on the phone, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"I know, I'll come back right away," Ling Fan said quietly and hung up.

"Ling Fan, what happened?" Feng Shuya, seeing Ling Fan's troubled expression, hesitated.

"The tree wishes to stay still, but the wind keeps blowing, let's head back, and we'll talk on the way," Ling Fan said, his gaze distant.
