Super War God in the City-Chapter 660: Such a Show-Off
Ling Fan left Wolong Garden and visited Ye Long, who was residing in a place for convalescence and quietude. The man was badly injured, but Official Ling treated him, and essentially, he was out of danger.
The two chatted idly about everyday matters. Having served as a Great Marshal for a long time, Ye Long, much like the old man, worried about the nation and its people and also offered words of comfort to him.
After leaving the Imperial Capital, he went straight back to Binzhou.
During this period, news that he had wiped out the Leng family as well as the affairs of the elder of the Long Family spread rapidly through the Capital Circle, causing significant upheaval and impact.
Many opportunists tried to capitalize on this, but this time, the upper echelons' stance was unusually firm, immediately clapping down on any unusual voices.
For a time, the powerful remained silent, and clans closed their mouths, no longer daring to let out even half a peep.
After Ling Fan returned to Binzhou, he hesitated about whether to disturb Xia Ying when suddenly his phone rang; it was Xia Ying calling.
He chuckled wryly and answered the phone.
"Ling Fan, where are you? When are you coming back?" Xia Ying began.
"Oh, what do you need me for?" Ling Fan listened. Xia Ying's tone seemed urgent.
"Lei Yao from Zhongnan is here, saying she has urgent news for you!" Xia Ying responded.
"Hmm? I just got back. I'll come to you right now!" Ling Fan nodded, then hung up the phone and headed straight for Tianyun Headquarters.
Lei Yao came for him, surely related to Qiao Yuchan. Could it be that something happened in the Qiao Family of Zhongnan, or was it the person who fled the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains who had burst into the Qiao Family of Zhongnan?
Ling Fan's mind started to race with wild thoughts, feeling it made no sense.
At that moment, Lei Yao looked somewhat anxious as she sat in Xia Ying's office.
"Here, have some water, he will be here soon, don't worry!" Xia Ying poured a cup of water and handed it to Lei Yao.
"Thank you!" Lei Yao took the water cup.
She had not expected Ling Fan to still be alive. Zhongnan had received the news quite late; it was Peng Ming who had tasked He Feichen and others with the matter.
After Qiao Yuchan had left, it was because of He Feichen that the news had been spread around Zhongnan.
Once Lei Yao learned Ling Fan was still alive, where could she sit still? After discussing with a few Elders, they decided to send her out to urgently inform Ling Fan about Qiao Yuchan's travel abroad, lest the Family Head encounter any mishaps outside.
The elders were genuinely concerned about Qiao Yuchan; after all, none of them had traveled abroad, did not even speak the language and were inherently somewhat fearful and unsettled.
"What's so urgent that you need to find me!" A cheerful voice floated in from outside the door.
Lei Yao, who had just sipped her water, quickly put down the cup and stood up, looking towards the door's figure, excitedly saying, "Young Master Ling, you're really okay?"
Ling Fan smiled and shrugged, teasing, "Do I look like I'm in trouble? In the future, don't make a fuss over such matters. It's not so easy to get me!"
Lei Yao hadn't seen Ling Fan for a long time; remembering how he used to guide her in sword practice, patting her legs or backside, she couldn't help her cheeks turning pink.
She then forcibly calmed her thoughts and spoke urgently, "Young Master Ling, the Family Head heard of your demise abroad a few days ago and was deeply saddened. He said he wanted to go abroad to clear his mind and follow in your footsteps.
We are very worried, so we specially came to report, hoping you can bring back the Family Head safely without any incidents overseas!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Fan was genuinely startled and felt a shock, "She went abroad? To which Duchy did she go?"
"She didn't say and didn't allow us to follow, that's why we're so anxious!" Lei Yao said anxiously.
Official Ling took a deep breath; having too many women was indeed troublesome, but he could understand Qiao Yuchan's feelings.
"Let it be, I will bring her back safe and sound!" Ling Fan reassured Lei Yao at once.
Xia Ying also took a while to react on the side, not expecting that Qiao Yuchan would be so deeply grieved that she ran off abroad!
"You go back first, don't worry!" Ling Fan thought to himself and comforted Lei Yao.
"Young Master Ling, do you want me to accompany you?" Lei Yao asked.
Ling Fan shook his head, as he had no clue where to begin the search. Perhaps mobilizing the Ling family would make things easier!
"No need, having more people isn't always helpful in this situation. I have to go abroad for some business anyway. The situation overseas is complicated; having too many people might not be a good thing, and it would distract me. Just go back and wait in peace!" Ling Fan instructed.
Lei Yao hesitated for a moment but then nodded, making no further requests.
Ling Fan pondered for a moment, took out his phone, and dialed the Elf.
"Elf, did you send out the warning I issued before, and what's the situation with Sam?" Ling Fan asked directly once the call connected.
"Beiming, that guy Sam is pretty arrogant. He ignored the message you sent out, claiming that the era of the Twin Kings is long gone and that your era is coming to an end too!
I was just planning on teaching him a lesson — he's insanely arrogant!" Elf said coldly on the phone.
Hearing this, Ling Fan chuckled lightly, "Such a damn poser. After two years out of the martial world, it really is a case of old players being replaced by new ones!
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
You don't need to take action; let me handle him. It's a good time for me to get out and about!"
"You're coming out? If you have an operation, remember to call me. Oh yeah, last time in Snow Country, Emily was insisting on joining the bystanders and was wondering if you could give her a chance in the next operation!" Elf said, somewhat exasperated.
Last time when in Snow Country on a mission, he forgot to mention this to Ling Fan, and that little girl gave him a good earful when he got back.
Ling Fan sighed upon hearing this, aware of Elf's sister Emily and not expecting the young girl to be so persistent.
"Alright, next mission, let's bring her along!" Ling Fan said with a smile.
Elf let out a sigh of relief on the phone, "Finally I won't be nagged by this little girl anymore. Just take care of yourself!"
Ling Fan hung up, pondering where to find Qiao Yuchan. The world was so vast, and without any direction, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack!
After much thought, he decided to take things one step at a time. If necessary, he could always pull some strings.
Moreover, this new King Sam was arrogant enough. It seemed necessary to teach this guy a lesson, lest he think the title of War Emperor was earned through empty words.
However, before that, he needed to visit an old friend and pick up some things.
He dialed another number, and soon, a hoarse old voice came through the phone.
"Hello? Who's this?" the person on the other end asked.
The voice belonged to an elder sitting in a wheelchair, frowning at the unfamiliar number on his screen but knowing that anyone who had his private number was no ordinary contact.
"Hi, Ed, how are you? Long time no see!" Ling Fan greeted with a smile.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, "You are...."
"Do you still find that assistant I introduced comfortable to work with? How's Kuiler doing?" Ling Fan asked lightly.
"Beiming... Oh, damn it, you bastard, I just heard about you recently, and I knew you couldn't be dead!" The elder's voice suddenly became animated.
"Do you want to talk to Kuiler, or why are you thinking of this cripple now?" the elder chuckled excitedly over the phone.
"Heh, no need. Planning to come over to pick some stuff up and thought I'd see you, chat face to face!" Ling Fan laughed.
"Damn you, you're always so blunt. Can't you say something more touching, like you came to see me and might as well pick up some stuff?" the elder laughingly scolded.
"Haha, why stand on ceremony with you? It's all the same really!" Ling Fan couldn't help but tease amidst laughter.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few moments before hanging up.
"Sister Ying, book me a ticket to Laima Principality!" Ling Fan said to Xia Ying after ending the call.
