Hugging Ling Yun's Thighs

Before Xu Le could fully process it, that bullet flew right back like time running in reverse. Damn it, how did this Ling Yun pull that off?

He seemed to have been concentrating on the barbecue the whole time. Unbelievable, this ability defied the heavens. Yet thinking of what he had done before, his heart slowly calmed down. Who could be so unlucky to dare make trouble in front of him? Xu Le shook his head, picked up his phone, and texted Lin Hao the location of the incident so he could bring men to collect the corpse.

Xu Le just watched Ling Yun like that. He had been grilling meat the entire time and seemed completely unaware of what had happened. A question lingered in Xu Le's heart: just how had he struck back a moment ago without him perceiving it in the slightest?

"Xu Le, what are you spacing out for? Did you sense anything?" Long Yanran felt there had been danger just now, though she couldn't be certain. After all, her strength was only at the Houtian middle stage.

"No, that must have been your imagination." Xu Le refused to blurt it out and shook his head repeatedly to keep her from making a fuss.

"Um, Brother Yun, is the barbecue ready yet? Hehe." Xu Le even scratched his head after speaking.

"Cut it out. You're a few years older than me," Ling Yun replied indifferently.

"No way, from now on I'm calling you Brother Yun." Xu Le was eager to cling to this powerful backer.

Leaving aside the fact that the man's strength was right there, even this spiritual food alone made it worth hugging his thigh.

"Hey, your name is Xu Le, right? You look so old, how can you call my cousin 'brother'?" Lin Yueyan curled her lips.

Song Song and the others nearby all held back their laughter.

"I'm not old, not old at all." Xu Le shook his head. "Say whatever you like; I don't care about face anymore, but I've definitely latched onto this thigh."

"Uncle Xu Le is old, that's why he doesn't even have a girlfriend," Beibei suddenly chimed in.

Everyone covered their mouths to hide their smiles, while Xu Le remained entirely unbothered, letting them say whatever they wished.

"The barbecue is ready. Take it, it'll do you good." With that, Ling Yun handed a few skewers of grilled meat to Xu Le, not caring at all how the man addressed him.

Xu Le was truly overjoyed; this time he had finally managed to break the ice and get somewhat familiar with him.

When Ouyang Xiu, Old Master Qin, and the others arrived near District 11, Villa 2403, those surpassing the Xiantian late stage had all detected a dangerous aura, yet it vanished in less than a second. Could it be that Flying Eagle had already succeeded? Everyone rushed over to Ling Yun's home in a panic!

"Grandpa, Uncle Long Er, and Xing Di, why are you all here?" Qin Xianglian asked with a puzzled look. Nothing untoward had happened to them this time, so why did the men's expressions look so anxious?

"Did something happen just now?" Ouyang Xiu asked directly.

Everyone was bewildered. They were all eating barbecue and watermelon, and nothing at all had happened. Why had this eccentric old man suddenly popped up to ask that?

Seeing that they knew nothing, Ouyang Xiu didn't press further and simply scanned the surroundings with heightened vigilance. Xu Le looked over at Ling Yun, but Ling Yun didn't even raise his head, remaining entirely focused on the barbecue while a little milk puppy at his feet cradled a piece of watermelon and gnawed on it.

Brother Yun was truly Brother Yun. Even a dog was just as proud. The people before them were elders of the Dragon Group High Command, whom he had only ever seen once, and back then the mere pressure of their presence had left him gasping for breath.

"It's good that nothing's wrong. We just came by to check on Beibei, haha!" Old Master Qin burst into a hearty laugh upon seeing that nothing had occurred.

"My precious granddaughter, did you miss your Second Grandpa?" Seeing that Beibei was safe, Long Hu finally relaxed. At the very least, Flying Eagle hadn't made a move, which meant he could better protect her. This little girl was the treasure of the Dragon Family.

"Second Grandpa, Beibei missed you to death! And Third Uncle too!" Yet she stood completely frozen in place, continuing to eat her barbecue without budging an inch.

Huh, that's strange. Every time I call Beibei like that, doesn't she usually fly over wanting me to hold her? Why is she the exception this time? Could it be that not seeing each other for a few days has made her distant? Long Hu was utterly baffled.

"Don't be afraid, Beibei. With Third Uncle here, no one can hurt you. Whoever dares come, Third Uncle will beat them flat with a single punch and stomp a little punk to death with one kick." Long Xingdi flexed hard to show off.

The few young men: "..."

Afterward, everyone made brief introductions and got acquainted, though whether they would ever meet again after today was hard to say! So many people had suddenly crowded into the front yard, but since visitors were guests, Lin Qiuyan handed a cup of tea to each of them.

Those arrogant old men, however, refused to take theirs and simply set them aside. Since it wasn't top-tier tea and certainly not Dahongpao, it probably failed to catch their discerning eyes. The younger men didn't drink theirs either.

Watching their actions, Xu Le shook his head flatly. They were simply a bunch of people who didn't know true value.

The little one Qianqian was exceedingly happy, having never spent time with so many people before, and with Long Beibei keeping her company, the smile on her face never faded! Ling Yun took all of this in, feeling that everything he had done was worth it.

Several gunshots rang out near the main entrance of the villa cluster, accompanied by the crashing of vehicles, bazookas, and novel grenades. The lineup sounded formidable.
