This night, Lin Feng and Tang Wan played poker for half the night.
The next day, when Lin Feng got up, Tang Wan was wrapped around him like an octopus, languidly clinging to him, as if all her strength was gone and she really didn't want to get out of bed.
"My dear Miss Tang, if you don't get up, I'm leaving!"
Lin Feng pushed aside Tang Wan's snow-white arm and began to get dressed.
He had promised Zhang Jianye that he would attend the opening ceremony of the Dragon Fang Special Forces and couldn't break his word.
"Little brother, you go ahead. Sister is really too tired, my body feels like it's melting."
Tang Wan smiled charmingly, like a pool of spring water, her pretty face flushed red. After a night of nourishment, she was even more alluring.
"By the way, don't forget to write down the prescription you mentioned for me. I'm meeting a medical professor today, and whether the collaboration can be finalized depends on your prescription."
Tang Wan reminded him.
"Alright, once I'm done with my business, I'll have someone send it to you!"
Lin Feng readily agreed and left Tang Wan's villa. The armored vehicle sent by Zhang Jianye had been waiting at the villa gate for a long time.
"Teacher, please get in!"
Zhang Jianye personally got out of the car to open the door for Lin Feng.
At this moment, looking at Lin Feng, who was full of energy and vigor, he felt incredibly incredulous.
Before, he had personally witnessed Lin Feng on the verge of death, no different from a corpse.
Yet, in just a few days, Lin Feng had gone from someone dying to someone full of life.
The King of Mercenaries was indeed worthy of his reputation. Such a phoenix-like constitution was rare in the world!
"What are you staring at? Hurry up and have someone drive!"
Seeing Zhang Jianye staring at him blankly, Lin Feng said irritably.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Jianye did not dare to delay and signaled the driver to head to the training base.
Meanwhile, Xia Xue's family was also forced to go to the selection competition venue with Zhong Jiaheng's family.
This time, each participating student was personally escorted by a military vehicle.
In the car, Xue Jingmei once again started her mode of boasting and mockery: "Jingru, these military vehicles are much more comfortable than sedans. Your family is really benefiting from Jiaheng's influence. Some people won't get to ride in them their entire lives."
"Auntie, it's just a car ride, do you have to keep talking about it?"
Xia Xue couldn't stand it anymore. She was on her period and already feeling irritable, and now her own aunt was buzzing in her ear incessantly.
With two aunts combined, Xia Xue was truly driven mad!
"Alright, Auntie won't say anymore. But why didn't your boyfriend named Lin come? Does he think he's inferior to Jiaheng and is too ashamed to show up?"
Xue Jingmei brought up Lin Feng, and Xue Jingru and Xia Weiguo also remembered something.
"Yes, Xiaoxue, where is Xiaolin?"
The elderly couple asked curiously.
"Mom and Dad, Lin Feng is also going to the selection competition. He has a better car to pick him up, so he's not with us!"
Xia Xue replied impatiently.
As soon as she said this, everyone in the car looked at Xia Xue.
Even Zhong Jiaheng wore a look of amusement.
"Xiaoxue, what nonsense are you talking about? He's also qualified to participate in the selection competition? And he has a better car to pick him up? Do you think the selection competition is a marketplace where anyone who wants to go can go?"
Xue Jingmei laughed until tears almost came out, thinking Xia Xue had accidentally let it slip.
"Auntie, don't always look down on others. Lin Feng isn't as bad as you think. If he doesn't attend this selection competition, the opening ceremony can't even proceed!"
Xia Xue explained with some weariness.
This statement not only made Xue Jingmei's family burst into laughter but also turned Xue Jingru and Xia Weiguo's faces dark.
"Xiaoxue, even if you don't want to listen to your aunt's endless chatter, you don't have to say anything you dare!
"Mom knows you're defending Xiaolin, but girls should speak realistically. Don't say such preposterous things in the future!"
Xue Jingru warned her angrily.
Her daughter had gone mad, claiming the selection competition couldn't proceed without Lin Feng!
Not to mention Xue Jingmei's family, even her own mother didn't believe such words!
"Oh, think whatever you want. I won't say anything else, okay!"
Xia Xue was too lazy to explain for Lin Feng anymore; in any case, everything would be revealed soon.
Soon, the military vehicle carrying Xia Xue and her family arrived at the entrance of the training base.
As instructed by the guards, they had to get out of the car, as vehicles were not allowed inside, and they had to proceed on foot.
Just as they got out of the car, an off-road vehicle sped towards them.
Upon seeing the license plate, the guards at the entrance saluted.
The car door opened, and it was Ling Feiyan, dressed in military uniform, leading several elites from the Dragon Group, who stepped out of the car.
Having received instructions from higher-ups, Ling Feiyan was responsible for leading the team in guarding the selection competition.
"Officer Ling, we'll leave it to you here!"
The guards at the entrance handed over their weapons to Ling Feiyan and her team before marching away.
"You, are you the female general of the Dragon Group, Officer Ling Feiyan?"
Zhong Jiaheng recognized Ling Feiyan. He had long heard of her reputation.
Her terrifying feat of defeating a half-step Martial Grandmaster single-handedly had already spread throughout the system.
"It is I. Who are you?"
Ling Feiyan replied coldly. When she noticed Xia Xue, who was with Zhong Jiaheng, her brows furrowed slightly.
Xia Xue was also looking at Ling Feiyan, with an undeniable sense of unwillingness in her eyes.
If it were in the past, when she was still the captain of the Dark Group, she should have been the one leading the team for such a sacred task.
But now, she could only appear as a spectator.
"Officer Ling, I am a participant in the selection competition. My name is Zhong Jiaheng, and this is my identification!"
Zhong Jiaheng excitedly handed a small booklet to Ling Feiyan.
Ling Feiyan took it, glanced at it, and sneered, "Then congratulations. It's an honor to have the opportunity to be selected for the Dragon Fang Special Forces. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you for your praise, Officer Ling. I will definitely work harder and harder!"
Zhong Jiaheng smiled brightly, his square face filled with triumphant joy.
However, when he saw Xia Xue, who remained indifferent and even showed a hint of disdain, he felt somewhat disappointed.
He was already so outstanding and had even received blessings from Ling Feiyan, yet his cousin didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
This was truly a dampener!
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an armored vehicle roared towards them.
Seeing this, Ling Feiyan immediately made a gesture to stop it.
As she was responsible for guarding the selection competition, she had the right to inspect and stop any passing vehicles.
The driver of the armored vehicle stopped in front of Ling Feiyan, rolled down the window, and said unhappily, "What do you want? This is our superior's exclusive vehicle, can't you see? Why are you blocking us?"
"I received orders that no vehicles are allowed in. Get out immediately and walk in!"
Ling Feiyan's face was expressionless, her icy facade unwavering.
Lin Feng, sitting in the back seat, watched Ling Feiyan's actions and said with a smile, "Little Zhang, it seems you'll have to get out and handle this yourself."
Actually, Lin Feng didn't need to remind him; Zhang Jianye was already very annoyed.
He pushed open the car door, and the moment he stepped out, Zhong Jiaheng and the others were stunned.
They saw Zhang Jianye in full military uniform, with a golden dragon medal on his shoulder, clearly a general, and the overall supervisor of the Dragon Fang.
Even Ling Feiyan was momentarily taken aback when she saw Zhang Jianye.
She hadn't expected Zhang Jianye to be in the car.
"You must be Ling Feiyan. Your diligent and responsible work attitude is commendable, but you're blocking my car?"
"Also, I need to tell you something. The person sitting in the car is my teacher. Do you think you should make my teacher walk in?"
Zhang Jianye's voice was gentle, but every word was filled with authority.
Ling Feiyan awkwardly shook her head, "Feiyan would not dare. Let them pass!"
