"Pull him up."
Lying on the ground without a second thought, Zhao Yunhai had Si Jinyan pull Zhao Lesheng onto the sofa to recline limply.
Zhao Lesheng looked at his great-great-grandfather with a sense of utter despair and wailed, "My great-great-grandfather!"
"Speak properly, your great-great-grandfather isn't dead yet."
Zhao Hanjin kicked him directly.
Zhao Lesheng was kicked on the sore tendon of his thigh and immediately yelped, curling into a ball.
"Great-great-grandfather, what era is this? Martial artists have lost their highest value, and now they are just for strengthening the body, that's all."
"No matter how powerful, it's just living a few more years."
"To put it bluntly, great-great-grandfather, what if one is an absolute peak expert? Can they withstand artillery shells?"
"Even if they can dodge bullets, so what? In a radius of ten or a hundred miles, can they escape instantly? Impossible."
"Once a bomb falls, even an absolute peak expert is just mortal flesh and blood, unable to dodge."
"The temperature generated by some shells is enough to melt an absolute peak expert."
Under his great-great-grandfather's dangerous gaze, Zhao Lesheng immediately sat up straight and spoke honestly.
"Alas."
Zhao Hanjin sighed deeply.
His great-grandson was right, but as a martial artist, he didn't want to see martial artists decline bit by bit.
The era of great contention was indeed approaching.
The era that martial artists most anticipated was about to descend, but what of it!
This was still an era of firearms and technology, no longer the era of straightforward revenge from the past.
"Old Jin, there's no need to sigh like this."
Zhao Yunhai chuckled lightly and comforted him, "Times are constantly changing, who knows when firearms might be eliminated."
Zhao Hanjin smiled helplessly. In fact, what he most wanted to ask was about Xiao Hai's strength.
However, this involved personal privacy, so he couldn't ask too many questions.
"Yes, yes, so great-great-grandfather doesn't need to be too discouraged."
"No matter the era, my Zhao clan will endure forever, which is better than anything."
Zhao Lesheng was quite open-minded. His simple thoughts didn't mean he was naive, it was just that they didn't overthink things and lived in the present.
"Lesheng's words are reasonable, as long as my Zhao clan endures forever."
Zhao Yunhai clapped his hands in approval from the side.
"I'm not as carefree as you, boy."
Zhao Hanjin gave a wry smile.
"Everyone go rest. Lone Wolf no longer poses a threat to me."
"Old Jin, are you returning to the clan?"
Zhao Yunhai looked at Old Jin and asked.
"I'll go back to the clan to enjoy my retirement. Live in the present, why overthink things."
Zhao Hanjin's heart knot had been untangled by his great-grandson's words. With a sudden realization, he planned to go home and enjoy family happiness.
"I want to follow Brother Yunhai and see the world."
Zhao Lesheng was a little reluctant to go back. The things he encountered by Brother Yunhai's side were too exciting.
"This..."
Zhao Hanjin actually had similar thoughts, pretending to be in a difficult position.
"Then stay."
Zhao Yunhai readily agreed and smiled, "Old Jin, don't worry, Lesheng will be safe with me."
"I am naturally at ease about that."
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Hanjin felt relieved and his eyes were filled with gratitude towards Xiao Hai.
By following Xiao Hai, Lesheng would surely have a place in the clan's high leadership in the future.
Proximity breeds favor, he understood this principle.
Zhao Hanjin bought a ticket that day and left Qianzhou. Xiao Hai, with his absolute peak strength, no longer needed his protection.
Immediately, Zhao Hongwen in Yanijing received the news that Zhao Hanjin had boarded a plane back to Yanijing.
"What's going on? Although Lone Wolf escaped, he might come back to attack you."
Zhao Hongwen personally called Zhao Yunhai to inquire about the situation.
"Dad, don't worry. I accidentally broke through to the absolute peak. Lone Wolf is no longer my match."
Zhao Yunhai chuckled.
Zhao Hongwen gasped in surprise, his tone becoming excited.
"I didn't expect you to have such a fortunate encounter. The heavens truly bless my Zhao clan."
"I won't ask about your secrets. When you're out, especially in Qianzhou, be careful yourself and don't worry your mother."
Zhao Yunhai smiled knowingly. "Got it. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. Phone calls are a bit expensive."
"You brat, hang up, hang up."
Zhao Hongwen cursed with a laugh and hung up, then looked at his wife beside him.
"Are you relieved now? Our son is doing well out there!"
Qin Siwan's serious expression relaxed, and she patted Yang Hui beside her, saying earnestly, "Shouldn't you be relieved now?"
"Mmm." Yang Hui smiled and nodded emphatically.
......
A week passed, and a woman Ling Yun had recently befriended caught Liu Tan's eye.
"This is?"
Zhao Yunhai's eyes lit up as he looked at the woman Liu Tan had brought over. She was indeed a beauty.
Liu Tan smiled obsequiously at Young Master Yun, as humble as could be, "Young Master Yun, this is the fun I've found for you."
Before, because Young Master Yun had his primary girlfriend around, he didn't dare to mention this matter. Now that the primary girlfriend had left.
Young Master Yun needed a woman to take care of him.
Si Ziyan's mouth was muffled, and her big eyes widened, tears streaming down her face.
She had merely gone shopping like an ordinary person, only to be forcibly abducted from the street, unable to call for help immediately.
It was too terrifying. Ever since she was young, Si Ziyan had never imagined such a thing would happen to her.
"Whose family is she from?"
Zhao Yunhai could tell at a glance that the woman who was tied up before him was not from an ordinary family.
Liu Tan hurriedly bowed and said, "She's from the Si family, her name is Si Ziyan, and she's also a friend Ling Yun recently made."
"Heh heh." Zhao Yunhai let out a soft laugh.
This was what a villain should look like.
The protagonist's woman was sent by his subordinate, and then the protagonist came to rescue her, finally beating up the villain, winning the woman's heart and claiming her.
Reasonable.
This was very reasonable.
"This young master will take her."
Zhao Yunhai was in a very good mood. His subordinate sent him a woman, and the woman was to his liking, so he naturally accepted her.
"Young Master Zhao, please enjoy. I'll take my leave now."
Liu Tan was overjoyed in his heart, and the joy on his face almost couldn't be contained. At this moment, he had to remain calm and not let Young Master Zhao look down on him.
"By the way, where is Ling Yun now?"
Zhao Yunhai pinched Si Ziyan's chin and tilted her head left and right, examining her thoroughly, and suddenly asked.
"Young Master Zhao, don't worry. Ling Yun is being watched by my subordinates!"
Liu Tan quickly replied. Seeing that Young Master Zhao said nothing more, he then took his leave.
"Brother Yunhai, I really envy you. You just have to sit at home, and beauties come to you."
Zhao Lesheng, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa without speaking, said enviously.
His own subordinates were all useless. What kind of women did they usually bring him?
Compared to this woman, they were worlds apart, especially in terms of temperament.
