The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 628 - 0: Incredibly Thick-skinned

Third Master Shen needed no mentioning, as everything he possessed was given by this young master. Without Third Master Shen, He Hongtao’s present wouldn’t exist.

Long Fei was the most righteous person he knew. Although not on the same path, he held great admiration for Long Fei.

Apart from everything else in the martial world, Long Fei could be a great use to him.

As it neared noon, two cars finally drove up, one after the other.

One needed no introduction, it was Third Master Shen’s red flag limousine.

In the entirety of Binhai City, only he owned such a vehicle.

The stretched design, military license plates starting with a red character, all showcased his noble status.

The car behind appeared extremely modest in comparison; even the cleaners’ vehicles in the villa’s parking lot were more upscale than it.

A Citroen training car, with its dated design, was a model from several years ago.

Third Master Shen curled the corner of his mouth, chuckling softly to himself, having not seen Long Fei arrive in this car for the first time.

Apart from Long Fei, no one else in Binhai City could drive alongside Third Master Shen’s car.

Upon the arrival of these two gentlemen, Third Master Shen abandoned his earlier aloof demeanor, personally moving to greet them with his entourage at the parking lot.

There were two spots upfront, reserved by him specifically for the two men.

After the cars stopped, Third Master Shen approached, first bowing to greet Third Master Shen as he got out of the car, shaking his hand and smiling obsequiously, "Third Master, I am much obliged by your presence. Thank you for making the long journey here."

Lately, Third Master Shen was engrossed in Taoist philosophy and dressed in Tang attire that greatly mismatched his age.

He wore traditional Capital City cloth shoes and even sported gold-rimmed glasses.

At first glance, one might assume he was a professor from a university. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Following him was an old man who descended from the vehicle.

This man was very famous in South Yangtze, a renowned Master of Spells.

His name was Zhang Yuankun, skilled in forming spells between his fingers.

Within seven steps, the formation would be complete.

There was once a spell master from Nanyang who came to challenge him. He trapped the challenger within a formation, resulting in a seven-step deathblow, making a name for himself in an instant.

Thereafter, he was bestowed the nickname in the Spell Circle, "Seven-Step Killing God!"

His pride was even greater than Third Master Shen’s.

Upon getting off the car, he was attended to by two special young disciples.

His eyes coldly dismissed everyone as inferior, like a giant looking down on the world’s insignificant ants from a lofty height.

These days, he was staying as a guest at Third Master Shen’s residence.

Today, Third Master Shen brought him along partly as a bodyguard and partly to facilitate an exchange and comparison of skills with Long Fei.

On the car ride over, Third Master Shen had introduced Long Fei to him.

Through the two layers of car windows, Zhang Yuankun scrutinized Long Fei from head to toe.

He had thought that someone who caught Third Master Shen’s eye must be extraordinary, but it turned out to be a young man driving an old Citroen.

Dressed in clothes fit for a street stall, there was not the slightest appearance of a master about him.

In his heart, Zhang Yuankun couldn’t help but look down upon Long Fei.

Third Master Shen fiddled with his walnut, scanning the surroundings, and huffed a laugh at He Hongtao, "Hong Ye, you’ve really gone all out today! We’ve known each other for so long, and this is the first time I’ve learned it’s your birthday on the winter solstice, isn’t it?"

His face always wore that half-smiling, half-mocking expression, leaving others unable to grasp what he was really thinking.

"Third Master, look at you, making it sound so serious. It wasn’t that you didn’t know before; I was just afraid of troubling your precious time and didn’t dare to disturb you. Now that you’re aware, it’s a blessing for me, He Hongtao. From now on, every year on my birthday, I’ll treat you to a grand feast. If you want to eat dragon meat from the skies, I’ll find a way to get you a pound!" He Hongtao laughed heartily, slapping flattery as loudly as he could.

Long Fei greeted Lin Yingying to get out of the car and then stood by, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

While Lin Yingying looked down on it, Long Fei actually had quite an admiration for He Hongtao.

Being able to bend or stand tall, knowing one’s own status, was essential to establishing a firm footing in this world.

He Hongtao immediately came forward, shook hands with him, and patted his shoulder warmly, "Brother Long, I really appreciate you gracing us with your presence. Today you give me, He Hongtao, face, another day I will definitely repay this favor!"

"You’re too kind, Hong Ye!"

Long Fei nodded with a light smile, took out a gift box, and handed it to him, "I came in a rush and didn’t know what gift to bring. Just recently, I’ve concocted some pills, and this one is to express my respect to Hong Ye!"

"Pills?"

As soon as Long Fei spoke, everyone around was startled.

He Hongtao naturally knew what the word "pill" meant.

Rumored to be able to cure cancer and bring the dead back to life.

He didn’t expect Long Fei to just give it to him so easily, as if he was handing over something trivial.

He opened it tremblingly, revealing a black pill with a mysterious light.

The pill was completely black, as if coated in a layer of grease, with a natural ring of cracks in the middle, which looked like dragon patterns.

"Not bad, the rumors are indeed true. A pill with patterns, this is truly a genuine pill!"

He Hongtao exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Yuankun, however, furrowed his brow tight, and somewhat incredulously, reached out his hand and said, "Hong Ye, let this old man check the authenticity of the pill for you. There are too many swindlers in the world, daring to pretend any little pill to be a pill. You should know, in Huaxia, there are no more than ten people who can concoct a pill. I am fortunate to know a few, but I wasn’t aware that North Yangtze had such a pill master!"

He Hongtao hesitated, but still handed it over with respect, although he couldn’t help but curse inwardly, "Old fart, where did that nonsense come from, isn’t this slapping my brother’s face?"

However, Zhang Yuankun was Third Master Shen’s man.

Once he spoke, He Hongtao had to comply.

He gave Long Fei an apologetic look, but Long Fei’s face was one of indifference.

Third Master Shen watched with interest as Zhang Yuankun asked, "Master Zhang, is this pill real?"

Zhang Yuankun’s expression changed, his brows furrowing tight.

He had previously gone through great lengths to assist a pill master in setting up a house-guarding formation, and only then did the master deign to give him a pill.

Unexpectedly, in this small place of North Yangtze, he saw this item once again, and it was the genuine article.

The oily surface, the color, the fragrance of the medicine, and those natural cracks all revealed the significance of this pill.

Forcing down the excitement in his heart, and parting with it reluctantly, he returned it to He Hongtao, pretending to be calm, "A mere First Grade Elixir, not worth mentioning."

But the gleam in his eyes had already betrayed him. Even a fool could see clearly what he was thinking.

Third Master Shen laughed and unabashedly addressed Long Fei, "Brother Long, you’re really generous! Last time you brought back three pills for Shen Feng, my father was deeply grateful and wouldn’t stop talking about it every day. I wonder if I have the good fortune to taste what this pill is like?"

"Why would Third Master need to be polite, I’ve come prepared!"

Long Fei smiled faintly, calmly withdrawing a brocade box and passing it to Third Master Shen.

This Young Master Shen of the Shen family was still useful in certain matters.

If Lin’s Group wanted to establish a firm footing in Binhai City, they indeed needed the support of someone like him.

He opened the brocade box, looked inside, and laughed loudly to the people around him, "Look, my Brother Long is indeed thoughtful!"

Everyone followed with laughter, while Zhang Yuankun’s heart itched, and he couldn’t help but also cup his hands towards Long Fei, "Young brother, I wonder if you could also honor this old man with a pill? I have a family heirloom formation to offer in exchange."

No sooner had he spoken, than his disciples behind him blushed.

Just now he had said the pill was hardly worth mentioning, and now he was proactively asking for one.

The thickness of his skin was truly unrivaled!
