Dragon Gate Crouching Dragon is a real one!

A nature park not far from the Qin Family manor.

"Miss Qin, let's have a toast~ I'll be leaving the Qin Family after this meeting, surely you won't refuse me this favor?"

Xiao Fan noticed that Qin Yun had received a call and was still holding her phone, which only made him feel more irritated.

Qin Yun frowned slightly but still took the wine glass.

However, she did not drink; she set the glass down and continued typing a message.

She tapped send, a faint smile curling the corner of her lips.

Xiao Fan felt his anger flare up, though he had to admit that the sight of Qin Yun's smile also ignited his lust.

Yet, this damn woman was willing to smile at her phone but wouldn't even offer him a polite smile; she had been cold as ice from the moment they arrived!

I'll see if you can keep that cold expression on your face in a little while!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's wicked desires surged even more, and to avoid any accidents, he decided to speed things up.

Having finished her message, Qin Yun finally looked at Xiao Fan; if it weren't for his promise that he would stop pestering her after this meeting, she wouldn't even bother with him.

She wasn't worried about any accidents because she knew people from the Qin Family were watching from the shadows, but what she didn't know was that those people had already been quietly dealt with by Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan, we really aren't a good match. After finishing this drink, I hope you keep your word and stop pestering me in the future."

She thought she would just go through the motions and leave, then finally be rid of this annoying man.

Xiao Fan nodded and clinked his glass against Qin Yun's with a friendly expression.

He watched as Qin Yun opened her alluring lips and downed the wine in one gulp.

After tonight, let's see how you keep up that act.

Long Aotian walked up to Lin Ao and shook his head, having told Monkey to call and ask directly.

However, he didn't know the exact location Xiao Fan had chosen, though it shouldn't be too far; Qin Yun certainly wouldn't have agreed to go anywhere too remote.

Lin Ao stared at his phone nervously, ignoring Long Aotian.

"Ding—!"

After waiting a while, he finally received a message from Qin Yun.

"Sorry, dear~ I actually hung up on you when you first tried to voice call me. It's not very convenient for me to talk right now~ I'll make it up to you when I get back later~"

"I'm just getting rid of that annoying person I told you about before, it'll be over soon!~"

What about the location I asked for? Tell me! Just tell me!!!

"Ding—!"

Lin Ao quickly looked at the phone.

"Let's go! Aotian! Jianghai City Nature Park."

Long Aotian immediately ordered Monkey to prepare the car, and they set off at full speed.

"Aotian, what is your current strength? Has Xiao Fan already advanced to Grandmaster?"

Lin Ao and Long Aotian sat in the back row, discussing their plan.

"Xiao Fan was already at the peak of the Pre-Natal Realm, and ever since he was defeated by Mr. Lin Ao once, he broke through to Grandmaster after arriving at the Qin Family."

Monkey spoke calmly from the driver's seat, revealing Xiao Fan's information; it seemed Monkey had completely defected to Long Aotian.

"I'm still at the peak of the Pre-Natal Realm, but give me a month and I can also promote to Grandmaster."

Aotian said sheepishly; in terms of martial prowess, he had indeed always lagged behind Xiao Fan.

Lin Ao found it strange—why would Monkey stop following the Grandmaster Xiao Fan and choose to follow the Pre-Natal peak Long Aotian instead? Lin Ao couldn't help but ask.

Monkey was silent for a moment before replying.

"Because he is no longer the Xiao Fan he used to be. His temperament has become irritable and extreme. Although he used to use certain methods, he has become increasingly abnormal lately. Even though I'm no saint, I can't stand his extreme behavior, so I joined Special Envoy Long."

There was one thing Monkey didn't mention: once, when Xiao Fan was turned away by Qin Yun, Monkey tried to comfort him out of kindness, only to be brutally beaten by Xiao Fan, nearly losing his life.

That was the main reason why Monkey, who had been loyal to Xiao Fan for so long, switched sides the moment Long Aotian came to Jianghai.

When your life is on the line, who cares about loyalty? Otherwise, did you think Monkey had a sudden change of heart? Someone who talks about killing people at the drop of a hat is hardly a good person.

Lin Ao didn't fully believe Monkey's words; he knew Monkey wasn't a good person, and he would remain wary of anyone who had been in Xiao Fan's circle.

Lin Ao nodded and began checking the map of the Jianghai City Nature Park. There were few people in the park at night, and given Xiao Fan's personality, he would surely choose a romantic spot, which would most likely be near the Central Lake.

Soon, they arrived at the park entrance. Lin Ao immediately got out of the car and ran toward the Central Lake at full speed.

Lin Ao didn't notify Uncle Zhang and the others because he felt his current strength was more than enough to handle Xiao Fan, especially with Long Aotian, who was blinded by his desire for the position of Sect Master, by his side.

He had originally planned to provoke him tonight and lure him into the Lin Family Manor to test the effectiveness of the fortress.

Since you are in such a hurry to court death tonight, I'll just finish you off now.

Lin Ao increased his speed again. Long Aotian barely managed to keep up, while Monkey was left far behind. He stared at Lin Ao in shock; when they were at the amusement park, he hadn't sensed that Lin Ao possessed such strength. He had assumed Lin Ao had taken some kind of drug when he beat Xiao Fan, but now he realized Lin Ao's strength was actually that of a Grandmaster.

Soon, Lin Ao and Long Aotian reached the vicinity of the Central Lake. They found several people lying unconscious on the ground; judging by their attire, they appeared to be bodyguards from the Lin Family, all low-level Martial Artists.

Lin Ao grew even more anxious; this was bad, my Fierce One!

They approached rapidly, vaguely making out the figures of two people in the pavilion by the lake; it was indeed Qin Yun and Xiao Fan.

Many candles and flower petals were arranged all around.

Lace curtains full of romantic flair were hung on the pavilion, creating a warm and amorous atmosphere.

Lin Ao clicked his tongue; this bastard might as well have dragged a bed over here.

But so what? Qin Yun wouldn't fall for this; she only fell for Howling's style.

Lin Ao looked at Qin Yun and noticed her state was already a bit strange; it was impossible for her to be smiling at Xiao Fan, so he guessed Xiao Fan had already succeeded in drugging her.

Lin Ao let out a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there was still time.

"You go out and distract Xiao Fan, try your best to draw his attention. I'll find an opportunity to rescue her first."

Lin Ao spoke quickly to Long Aotian, fearing that if he appeared before Xiao Fan first, it would provoke him, as he had already provoked him once tonight, even though Xiao Fan didn't know that the person chatting with Qin Yun in private was Lin Ao.

It was better for Long Aotian, a fellow sect member, to step forward; Xiao Fan's guard would be lower. While they stalled, he would seize the chance to rescue Qin Yun.

Long Aotian didn't ask any questions and walked up from the opposite direction of Lin Ao.

Lin Ao had already prepared a speech to persuade him, planning to say that after this was done, the Lin Family and the Qin Family would be his solid backing, but Aotian didn't say a word of nonsense, simply nodding and acting according to Lin Ao's arrangement.

He thought to himself that this Dragon Gate Crouching Dragon was truly reliable! When there was a task, he didn't say a word and just went for it.

Should he try to get along with him?

Lin Ao quickly pulled back his thoughts; since Aotian had begun his move, he had to start quickly as well.
