Chapter 1008: Before Departure

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Before Departure

After kicking the unreliable Feng Tianyi out, Ling Feng’s mood was far from delightful. Why did everyone now think that he was the one to lead the team to Fusang?

"Should I call Sun Xiaofei? Let her discipline this Feng Tianyi properly!" Ling Feng rubbed his chin, contemplating this malicious idea.

Just then, Ling Feng’s phone rang, and after answering, Liu Tingyu’s voice came through.

"Ling Feng, I just heard from my dad that the Dragon Group wants you to lead a team to Fusang?"

Ling Feng frowned and said, "Dad did mention it earlier, but I didn’t agree! Rest assured, I will definitely not agree to this; my stance is firm this time!"

Liu Tingyu’s laughter came through the phone: "We’re happy to hear you say that, but... we still hope that Ling Feng, you will follow the Dragon Group’s arrangement this time and resolve the Fusang issue."

"Why!" Ling Feng furrowed his brows, then suddenly realized: "Did Dad call you to tell you this? Don’t worry about it; this time I..."

Liu Tingyu interrupted Ling Feng: "It’s not because of Dad, but... because of Catherine!"

"Catherine?" Ling Feng was stunned.

"That’s right, Catherine and your Divine Gate brothers are in Fusang, right? If the Fusang situation isn’t resolved quickly, any infiltration by other underground forces will certainly impact them!" Liu Tingyu said seriously, "I know you don’t want to leave us, but we shouldn’t be too selfish! Catherine is also our sister, and we don’t want her or Divine Gate to be harmed. I think you’d blame and regret yourself then, wouldn’t you?"

Ling Feng held the phone, unsure of what to say! He never expected that it would be Ting Yu persuading him, and for Catherine’s sake!

"Ting Yu, I... I don’t know what to say!" Ling Feng’s voice carried a hint of emotion.

Liu Tingyu laughed and said: "Then quickly bring Catherine back. After all, the Underworld is a dangerous place. I think you wouldn’t be comfortable leaving her in Fusang, would you?"

"What about Han Rui and the others..."

"I’ll explain to them!" Liu Tingyu said, "Don’t worry about things at home!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng exhaled. Liu Tingyu’s words had touched his heart. While he trusted the Dragon Group’s strength, he was also worried about any friction between Divine Gate and the Dragon Group.

"The older the wiser!" Ling Feng said helplessly, "Looks like both Ting Yu and I fell into Uncle Liu’s plan!"

Ling Feng wouldn’t believe that Liu Tingyu had come up with those words on her own; it was definitely Uncle Liu subtly hinting over the phone.

Putting on his jacket, Ling Feng stepped out of the room and couldn’t help but give Feng Tianyi a kick as he was wandering outside, "What are you wandering around for? Hurry up and get ready for departure!"

Feng Tianyi’s eyes lit up, "I knew Brother Ling wouldn’t leave me behind!"

With that, he eagerly went to assemble.

Half an hour later, all members who were to assist Fusang had gathered. Since this was a covert mission, the Dragon Group mobilized almost all A-level members, and naturally, Ling Feng saw a few familiar faces among them.

"Surprised to see me here, aren’t you?" Bai Feifei approached Ling Feng, grinning and asking.

Ling Feng was a bit speechless, "What are you here for? Are you here to cause trouble?"

Bai Feifei wrinkled her little nose and said, "Don’t underestimate me! I got Master’s permission to go to Fusang!"

Then Bai Feifei whispered in Ling Feng’s ear, "And I also want to see our other good sister, Catherine!"

Ling Feng coughed awkwardly, then secretly glared at Bai Feifei, "You can go, but you must follow orders in all activities!"

Bai Feifei smiled triumphantly, then obediently stood beside Ling Feng.

A moment later, Long Guangyi arrived at the assembly point. Seeing Ling Feng, he smiled slightly, "Ling Feng, I knew you would accept this mission!"

Ling Feng replied irritably, "Alright, alright, you all put in quite an effort behind this, didn’t you? I should respect the old and love the young, right?"

Long Guangyi smiled smugly, ignoring the dissatisfaction in Ling Feng’s tone. In his view, as long as Ling Feng went, everything would be fine!

"Everyone, listen to me!" Long Guangyi said to the more than fifty assembled people, "We all know the mission we’re heading to Fusang for. This mission will be commanded by Ling Feng. In Fusang, everyone must listen to Ling Feng to ensure the mission’s completion!"

The over fifty people present were almost all A-level masters, many of whom were in their forties or fifties and well-known masters. Hearing that they had to listen to Ling Feng’s command made quite a few furrow their brows.

Although Ling Feng’s strength surpassed everyone, having strong abilities doesn’t necessarily equate to strong command skills!

"Dragon King!" At this time, a man in his forties stepped forward, "This mission is quite challenging. I think it should be handed over to an experienced veteran for command!"

"Oh? Chen Tie, you mean Ling Feng lacks experience, right?" Long Guangyi looked at the speaking man, smiling as he asked.

The man who spoke was named Chen Tie, an A-level peak master, now forty-six years old, with the potential to advance to the Demi-God Domain before fifty, making him a formidable master in the Dragon Group!

After all, in any organization, masters at the Demi-God Domain are the pinnacle of combat power and generally don’t take action lightly, while A-level peak masters are the backbone of the organization!

Chen Tie glanced at Ling Feng and said seriously, "Yes, plus Ling Feng has been with the Dragon Group less than a year; doesn’t his lack of seniority disqualify him from leading us?"

Long Guangyi gave a faint smile, glanced at Chen Tie, "Since when did our Dragon Group start emphasizing seniority and rank? And I’ll tell you, in terms of both strength and experience, Ling Feng is the most suitable commander. I will not say anything more; just know that although this is a mission to assist Fusang in obstructing the Divine Realm’s development, everyone must remain vigilant, understood?"

All eyes with doubt fell on Ling Feng. While everyone knew he had completed several tasks in the past six months, they didn’t find this a sufficient reason for him to command this mission!

After Long Guangyi finished speaking, he glanced at Ling Feng, then patted him and said, "Don’t let me down!"

Immediately, a transmission echoed in Ling Feng’s ear: "Among the fifty people on this mission, there are seven suspected spies; take the opportunity to test them during your time in Fusang!"

Ling Feng cursed silently in his heart, realizing that things were even more complicated!
