Gurgle, gurgle. In the blink of an eye, more than half a bottle of beer had gone down Luo Yan's stomach.
He wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth and sat down on the other side of the gravestone, looking at Wei Fenghua's photograph on it.
"How was it? Were the Heavenly Fiends troublesome?"
Di Zheng also took a sip of beer and asked casually.
Luo Yan nodded. "Very troublesome. Even the Tiangang Dragon Riders had to fight for their lives to win by a hair."
Di Zheng's expression turned solemn. "One Heavenly Fiend alone forced the Tiangang Dragon Riders to fight for their lives. If more of these things appear in the future, that would be terrifying."
Luo Yan did not respond—and could not think of a response—so he chose to drink.
"Still, being able to act alongside the Dragon Riders this time counts as quite a gain."
Di Zheng patted Luo Yan's shoulder again, a smile returning to his face. "Besides, I heard that you made a great contribution during this operation. Captain Shi Beiluo even invited you to join his team."
"You did well. Fenghua will be proud of you."
After saying that, he stood up.
"I still have things to deal with, so I'll be going first."
"Have a good talk with Fenghua."
Di Zheng left.
He left behind several unopened bottles of beer.
Luo Yan did not drink them all. He had never been a drunkard. After finishing the bottle in his hand, he wiped his mouth, looked at his teacher's photograph on the gravestone, and said,
"Teacher Wei, I avenged you."
"That Heavenly Fiend named Zhe Kui was very cunning. After being slain by Captain Shi Beiluo, he used the 'Seeded Spirit Technique' to revive himself through one of his blood descendants."
