Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Revealing Identity
"By the way, Ting Yu, your dad has taken an apprentice!" Xia Wanâer suddenly said, "Today, weâll also take the opportunity to introduce you to each other. From now on, we are all family."
Ling Fengâs eyebrows furrowed as he said warily, "Aunt Wan, I think there will be other opportunities to meet in the future. Is it necessary to meet today?"
For some reason, an ominous premonition flashed through Ling Fengâs heart!
It was supposed to be a meeting with his girlfriendâs parents, but unexpectedly, there was also an apprentice of the father-in-law. What was this rhythm? It was straight out of a family romance drama!
"Could it be that uncle is not satisfied with me, so he brought in some apprentice to make me leave Ting Yu and to pair Ting Yu up with his apprentice?" Ling Feng pondered in his heart.
Lately, he had been watching a lot of TV dramas with similar plots due to boredom!
Xia Wanâer seemed to sense Ling Fengâs unease and said with a smile, "Donât worry, Ting Yuâs dadâs apprentice is a beautiful girl!"
Phew! Ling Feng felt like he heard the sound of his heart settling down. That was for the best!
But seeing Xia Wanâerâs teasing expression, Ling Feng felt his face heat up, as if she had already noticed his earlier concerns.
At that moment, the door of the private room opened, and a vaguely familiar voice came in, "Sorry, I had to deal with something just now, so Iâm a bit late."
Seeing the middle-aged man who entered, Ling Feng was somewhat dumbfounded.
This middle-aged man, wasnât he the same man who had met him at the tea house? He was actually Ting Yuâs father?
No wonder he felt both hostility and kindness from him at that time. So the root was here!
"Dad, you are late!" Ting Yu went up to him and said, "What was so important that it was more important than seeing your daughter?"
The middle-aged man fondly touched Ting Yuâs head and replied, "It was just some trivial matters. I am here now, arenât I? Alright, donât be angry anymore, forgive father this once!"
"Since you have a good attitude, Iâll forgive you!" Ting Yu, holding the middle-aged manâs hand, said, "Dad, this is Ling Feng, the one I told you about!"
The middle-aged man looked at Ling Feng with a smile, "Ling Feng, we meet again!"
"Er... Uncle Liu, hello!" Ling Feng replied with a wry smile, "Yes, we meet again. I didnât expect... "
"Didnât expect that I am Ting Yuâs father?"
Ting Yu blinked, "Huh? What are you saying, you know each other? How is that possible!"
Ling Feng smiled, "We met once at a tea house. At that time, I didnât know the senior was your father. Our conversation... was quite pleasant, I guess!"
"Yes, it was quite pleasant!" The middle-aged man said with a smile, extending his hand, "Letâs get properly acquainted. I am Ting Yuâs father, my name is Liu Chengfeng, but some also call me the Dragon King!"
Ling Fengâs extended hand froze mid-air!
His smile stiffened on his face. What! The Dragon King Liu Chengfeng? How could this be! Ting Yuâs father is the leader of the Dragon Group!
Ling Feng had never expected Liu Tingyu to have such an identity, and it momentarily stunned him!
Liu Chengfeng took Ling Fengâs hand. "Whatâs wrong? You werenât this surprised before. Although I am the Dragon King, today I have only one identity, that of Tingyuâs father. Donât be restrained, please sit down!"
"Okay...okay!" Ling Feng was pulled to his seat by Liu Tingyu and quickly regained his composure.
"Ling Feng, youâre not mad at me, are you?" Liu Tingyu, seeing Ling Fengâs shock, couldnât help but apologize. "I didnât mean to hide it from you, I just didnât want you to have any prejudices because of my identity. Moreover, our love has nothing to do with identity!"
Seeing Liu Tingyu somewhat flustered, Ling Feng tightly grasped her hand and whispered, "Iâm not angry, just a bit shocked! Iâve long admired the name of the Dragon King, and to think he is my girlfriendâs father. It seems winning the beauty wonât be without its challenges!"
"Stop it!" Liu Tingyu chuckled and pinched Ling Feng. "My dadâs the best to me, he definitely wonât make things difficult for you!"
"Ahem!" The Dragon King coughed helplessly. Really, girls are so outgoing. They hadnât even started discussing anything, and this couple was already lost in their own world.
"Cheng Feng, whereâs Xiao Bai?" Xia Wanâer asked curiously. "Didnât you want everyone to meet her?"
The Dragon King said calmly, "I had her help me organize some materials first, sheâll come over after half an hour... There are indeed some matters we need to discuss in advance!"
Xia Wanâer understood the Dragon Kingâs intention. She took Liu Tingyu by the arm and said, "Letâs go order some food while leaving them too it!"
As Xia Wanâer dragged Liu Tingyu away, Liu Tingyu shot the Dragon King a "threatening" glance, making Liu Chengfeng feel rather bitter. Truly, a daughterâs devotion shifts after marriage, forgets her father!
After the two women left, the Dragon King said lightly, "Ling Feng, actually Iâm quite satisfied with you. During the time youâve been with Tingyu, your care and affection for her have not gone unnoticed."
"Tingyu is my girlfriend. I will certainly cherish her in the palm of my hand!" Ling Feng expressed earnestly.
The Dragon King waved his hand and said, "You donât need to declare your stance to me. I will judge by actions, not listen to sweet words! But before I agree to entrust Tingyu to you, thereâs something I need to say!"
"Please speak, senior!"
"First question, who are you!" The Dragon King looked up sharply at Ling Feng. "Youâre not even thirty yet, but you wield S-level power, youâve subdued the Fierce Flame Hall with ease, manipulated the Yanjing Underground World at will, treated your enemies with ruthless cruelty, disregarding any rules of this world. I canât understand, who exactly are you?"
Ling Feng replied with a smile, "I am Ling Feng, I am a Huaxia person, nothing more."
"You should understand the heart of a father!" the Dragon King said. "Youâre admirable, so admirable that Iâm somewhat jealous, but as a father, I canât give my daughter to someone of unknown origin. You understand, right?"
Ling Feng nodded.
"So... What is your relationship with Blood-Handed Asura?" the Dragon King asked gravely. "Looking across the entire Underworld, besides Blood-Handed Asura, I canât think of anyone with such capability and intelligence."
Ling Feng sighed inwardly. It seemed he had underestimated the power of the Ancestor Dragon. Although he had never revealed his face in the Underworld, the Dragon King still suspected him.
Since the Dragon King had already disclosed his identity, Ling Feng saw no need to keep hiding.
"Yes, I am Blood-Handed Asura," Ling Feng earnestly confirmed.
