Dragon Gate Crouching Dragon

"Thank you all for taking the time to attend my birthday banquet. Please forgive me if I haven't been able to attend to everyone personally! Hahaha."

Elder Qin was in a good mood today, and the guests responded with equal enthusiasm; after all, his status was well-established.

"Wanqing, let's go over and greet him too."

Lin Ao gave Gu Wanqing a look, and Xia Qiange seemed to know exactly what Lin Ao was planning.

She stood up, walked over to Gu Wanqing's side, and whispered a few words.

Gu Wanqing's expression shifted from surprise to shock—how did Xiao Fan know Xia Qiange?

And she even said she knew Lin Ao...

She nodded immediately, and then the two of them took Lin Ao's arms, one on each side.

"?"

What was going on? Lin Ao had originally intended to bring Gu Wanqing over to intentionally stroll in front of Xiao Fan and play the part of a qualified villain~

But Xia Qiange had run over too, and Gu Wanqing had actually agreed? This left him completely bewildered.

"Auntie, you were a step too late again."

Liu Nian shook her head as if sighing. Liu Menghan didn't say anything; she picked up Liu Nian and followed by Lin Ao's side.

Xia Qiange whispered into Lin Ao's ear: "Lucky you~ Remember to compensate me."

After saying that, she didn't forget to press against Lin Ao's arm.

Lin Ao thought their little interaction had gone unnoticed by anyone else, and he felt a thrill in his heart.

But he didn't know that his information panel was transparent to the girls nearby; the H-value explained everything, not to mention the chaotic, lewd thoughts currently running through his mind.

Liu Menghan, Gu Wanqing, and Liu Nian narrowed their eyes simultaneously.

Xia Qiange secretly chuckled to herself.

The group quickly wove through the crowd and arrived before Elder Qin.

"Elder Qin~ Congratulations! Wishing you a happy birthday!"

Lin Ao's words drew their attention. Elder Qin's eyes crinkled, and he burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, so it's Young Master Lin! You're too kind, thank you for coming~ Have a good time tonight, hahaha."

Elder Qin knew exactly why Lin Ao had come over in person.

"Brother Xiao Fan, Yun'er, you young people chat amongst yourselves~ I'm going to find my old friends. Hahaha."

Elder Qin slipped away. As long as they didn't start a fight, he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the Dragon Gate and the families like Lin Ao's.

When Xiao Fan came out, he had already spotted Gu Wanqing and the others, including Long Aotian appearing on Lin Ao's side, the atmosphere looking so harmonious.

Why did Xiao Fan think that? It was because he saw Long Aotian sitting with Lin Ao, his face beaming with a smile.

They must be plotting some scheme, but would he, Xiao Fan, be afraid of such underhanded tricks?

He discovered that Lin Ao's table was filled with stunning beauties—besides Gu Wanqing and Xia Qiange, there was another beauty he had never seen before.

Seeing Gu Wanqing and Xia Qiange both holding Lin Ao's arms reminded him of Gu Wanqing's live kiss and Xia Qiange's screen-separated kiss. He felt like his back molars were about to shatter. Damn it, Lin Ao! You dare to touch my women. You must have used those disgraceful, underhanded tactics.

"Yunyun~ Come over here quickly, let me introduce you to someone~"

Xia Qiange immediately called out to Qin Yun, eager to get her away from that perverted man.

Qin Yun nodded at Lin Ao and the others before walking over to Xia Qiange's side.

Xiao Fan didn't say anything because he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from cursing. Endure! After tonight, let's see how you'll be able to walk away!

Lin Ao sighed inwardly. Fierce One, you really are this cold and aloof in public. I wonder if you're wearing that pink bunny set you like so much underneath today.

Ahhh~ I really don't want to end our online relationship.

Gu Wanqing and Liu Menghan also tactfully left Lin Ao's side, leaving the space open for Xiao Fan and Lin Ao.

They had only come over to intentionally provoke Xiao Fan, and the effect seemed quite good.

Xiao Fan walked up to Lin Ao with a gloomy face.

This was their first formal face-to-face conversation.

"Lin Ao, what kind of thing do you think you are? Do you think you've won just by doing this? What? Running in front of me to show off? Don't you find yourself ridiculous?"

Xiao Fan suppressed his anger. As long as I get my hands on Qin Yun tonight, the Qin Family will naturally help me. Once the Dragon Gate and the Qin Family join forces, would I still be afraid of you?

"Clown."

Lin Ao didn't answer Xiao Fan's question, but those two words acted like a catalyst, completely infuriating Xiao Fan.

"You..."

Xiao Fan was already red with rage, his gaze becoming increasingly dangerous, but seeing the many guests present, he managed to hold it back.

Long Aotian watched from the side with great interest; it was time for him to enter the stage.

"Xiao Fan~ Long time no see!"

He walked up to Xiao Fan with a crooked smile. Xiao Fan swallowed his rage, and at the same time, a smile identical to Long Aotian's appeared on his face.

Lin Ao looked at these two lunatics and felt speechless. Why on earth did the previous version of me lose to people like this? How embarrassing.

And as for that Xiao Fan, what kind of trigger did you have? Aren't you supposed to be angry? Seeing Long Aotian's crooked-mouth smirk, you just have to grin even more crookedly than him.

Is this the selection standard for the Dragon Gate?

"Heh~ Long Aotian, you defeated opponent. I know why you're here, but let me tell you, I, Xiao Fan, have encountered countless enemies in my life and have never tasted defeat. This time will be the same."

Long Aotian was triggered by the words "defeated opponent" and was just about to snap back.

"You were pinned to the ground and hammered by me."

Lin Ao interjected out of the blue.

"Lin Ao, do you really think I wouldn't dare to make a move?"

Xiao Fan's smile vanished, and he was once again heated up by Lin Ao.

"You were pinned to the ground and hammered by me."

Lin Ao repeated it once more.

"You..."

Xiao Fan pointed his finger, his body already trembling with rage.

"Clown!"

Lin Ao added this, and Xiao Fan was practically steaming!

"You two brothers have a nice chat, I won't keep you company."

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Lin Ao didn't want to waste any more time here. Xiao Fan would surely find ways to try and kill him.

There was such a large estate waiting for him to dig for treasure~

Excavator~ dig, dig, dig~

Xiao Fan was so provoked by Lin Ao that he couldn't help but want to strike, but Lin Ao just said one lighthearted sentence and left. How could this guy be so insufferable?

Long Aotian let out a cold snort at Xiao Fan and followed after Lin Ao.

"Mr. Lin, no, Brother Lin, wait for me. Thank you for helping me out of that tight spot just now."

Lin Ao was baffled by Long Aotian's inexplicable words. He thought for a moment, tsk, you deserve not to be the protagonist.

He looks arrogant and haughty, but in reality, he's missing a few screws.

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, glaring hatefully at Lin Ao and Long Aotian, then turned his sinister gaze toward the direction of Qin Yun and the others.

Tonight, I will make this woman submit to me!

And help me achieve my hegemony!

After that, none of you will be able to escape! Including that woman holding the little girl; I want you all to surrender to me right in front of Lin Ao.

Xiao Fan was fantasizing about those scenes, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.

"Aotian, did your Old Sect Master ever tell you to use your brain before you act or speak?"

Lin Ao couldn't help but ask Long Aotian; he had discovered that this guy really didn't know how to think.

"Eh? How did you know that, Brother Lin?"

How did Lin Ao know? Has he been inquiring about me?

As expected of a qualified opponent, he actually managed to obtain my information without me even noticing.

"Nothing, I wish you success in taking the position of Sect Master, Brother Long. In the future, we can cooperate with the Lin Corporation to create brilliance together and grow bigger and stronger!"

Lin Ao couldn't be bothered to deal with him and gave Long Aotian a perfunctory reply.

"Hahahaha, thank you, Brother Lin! Although I can't help you take revenge on Xiao Fan, I guarantee that if Xiao Fan dares to mess with you in the future, I will be the first to stand up! Come, come, Brother Lin, let's add each other on Feixin, call me if you need anything!"

Long Aotian, however, was full of excitement. My strategy was indeed correct.

Just you wait, Xiao Fan, you brat. Once I sit in the position of Sect Master, you'll see how I lead the Dragon Gate.

Lin Ao's mouth twitched. Fine, what a "genius."

This is for the best. If the Dragon Gate really lets him become the Sect Master, it will surely head toward "brilliance."

Ding--! Howling has accepted the friend request from Dragon Gate Crouching Dragon.

Lin Ao sighed; the name Crouching Dragon was truly the essence of his character.

At this moment, Xiao Fan found Elder Qin to say goodbye, glanced back at Lin Ao and the others, and left the Qin Family.

At the same time, a person appeared beside Long Aotian and whispered a few words in his ear.

This person was actually Monkey.
