Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 735 - 740: You Can’t Stop Him!_1

Long Shaotian understood Lin Feng’s words and realized their implicit meaning. If he hadn’t stubbornly sought out Lin Feng when the situation was completely against him during the struggle for the headquarters Hall Master position, ultimately forcing his way into the role, his relationship with Chen Ming wouldn’t have deteriorated to this state!

It’s said that once you enter the Jianghu, you can’t always do as you please. For bigwigs at Long Shaotian’s level, it’s especially difficult to withdraw completely unscathed! Even if he had been willing to step away from the Jianghu, many people wouldn’t have let him go. But if Long Shaotian had been willing to relinquish power back then, humbly capitulating to Chen Ming and surrendering the sect’s enterprise under the witness of many sect elders, Chen Ming might not have retaliated so harshly. Perhaps out of respect for their old ties, or even for financial reasons, he might have spared Long Shaotian.

At the very least, there would have been one less enemy with the genuine strength and courage to oppose Long Shaotian!

That was the implication of Lin Feng’s words: if he had known then what he knew now, why would he have acted as he did?

"Lin Feng, perhaps you are right..." Long Shaotian shook his head with a bitter smile. "But I have always been one to look forward and seldom look back. Once I’ve decided on something, I don’t regret it! I know that Chen Ming’s power is vast, and perhaps I can’t avoid death this time. Even if I die now, at least I can proudly tell myself that I beat Chen Ming fair and square in the contest for the position of Hall Master at the headquarters! He won’t be able to erase that fact in his lifetime..."

Hearing Long Shaotian’s defiant words, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a stir of admiration for him. Long Shaotian was, after all, Long Shaotian; such boldness was something ordinary people definitely didn’t possess!

Standing beside Long Shaotian, Chen Chunhua was watching him with eyes full of adoration, her gaze incredibly soft. Although Chen Chunhua was in her thirties and nearing middle age, her face still retained traces of youthful charm, so she didn’t look unpleasant. Especially when she looked at Long Shaotian with such worshipful eyes, that focused devotion could give anyone a strong sense of vanity...

Looks like Chen Chunhua is a die-hard fan of Long Shaotian, Lin Feng thought. No wonder she, a woman, could become the manager of one of the Qingzi Sect’s halls. Aside from her own capabilities, Long Shaotian’s trust in her must also have been a significant factor.

"So, Lord Dragon, what are your plans? Are you going to strike back against Chen Ming?" Lin Feng suddenly remembered Wu Mei’s undercover mission and casually probed Long Shaotian’s intentions, also making plans for Wu Mei’s eventual extraction.

Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Long Shaotian’s face darkened, and he said nothing. With his current manpower, how could he possibly contend with Chen Ming—fierce as a hungry wolf—and the battle hall backing him? The words "strike back" were simply out of the question.

Seeing Long Shaotian’s expression, Lin Feng understood. Long Shaotian’s glory days are probably over, he thought. But that’s fine. When his back is truly against the wall, he’ll have to use those billions he stashed away. Then the police can arrest him!

"Lin Feng, I know you’re a very special person..." Long Shaotian looked at Lin Feng and said seriously, "I also know that your background is not simple..."

’Not simple’ hardly covers it! Lin Feng thought.

Long Shaotian had people investigate Lin Feng’s background. He knew Lin Feng’s mother, Jiang Xiuyun, was a bank manager. As for Lin Feng’s father, Lin Zhonghua, Long Shaotian only knew he was in the military; his investigators couldn’t find out any more details.

In Long Shaotian’s eyes, someone with Lin Feng’s background should have had no connection whatsoever with the Qingzi Sect. Yet, to his great surprise, Lin Feng not only possessed insight and Martial Arts far beyond his years but also carried himself with the demeanor of a Jianghu dominator. Long Shaotian didn’t know the secret of Lin Feng’s connection with the White Wolf Squad, so he found Lin Feng extraordinarily special—so special that, despite all his experience, he found him almost incomprehensible.

"And? What did you want to say to me, Lord Dragon?" Lin Feng didn’t explain anything, just looked at Long Shaotian and asked with a smile.

"Lin Feng, I want to ask a favor of you..." Long Shaotian looked at Lin Feng and said seriously, "Help me look after Little Yun. Promise me you’ll keep him safe, and I will reward you generously in return!"

These were the same words Long Shaotian had spoken on the phone previously. That was when Lin Feng had borrowed Long Shaotian’s influence to easily rescue Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, and Long Shaotian had asked Lin Feng to look after Long Xiaoyun as a condition for returning the favor.

For Long Shaotian to bring this up again now might seem redundant, but both Lin Feng and Long Shaotian knew that times had changed drastically!

Before Long Shaotian’s downfall, Long Xiaoyun was the son of Lord Dragon of the Qingzi Sect’s Jiangzhou headquarters. With this status, even Cao Tiannan, the mayor of Jiangzhou City, would have to give him face. As long as Long Shaotian remained Lord Dragon of the Qingzi Sect, Long Xiaoyun was practically a top-tier princeling in all of Jiangzhou, the kind who could act with impunity! Back then, when Long Shaotian entrusted Lin Feng with looking after Long Xiaoyun, Lin Feng’s task was merely to offer some guidance to the socially inexperienced young man, helping him avoid common setbacks and preventing him from making major blunders. That would have constituted mission accomplished.

But now, Long Shaotian was no longer Lord Dragon of the Qingzi Sect; he was a hunted fugitive, a rat scurrying across the street with everyone from the Qingzi Sect after him! Long Xiaoyun was implicated by association and could face danger at any moment.

For Long Shaotian to ask Lin Feng to take care of Long Xiaoyun now was almost tantamount to asking Lin Feng to be his bodyguard...

Who would willingly take on such a burdensome bodyguard task, effectively becoming a scapegoat? Lin Feng mused. Keep in mind, the opponent was the entire Qingzi Sect’s battle hall—the Qingzi Sect in its truest, most formidable sense!

Of course, money could sway anyone. Long Shaotian knew there was hardly anything in this world that couldn’t be bought with money. This was especially true for a master like Lin Feng, who, for the right price, would be thoroughly dedicated to his work. As long as an appropriate sum was offered, purchasing his services wouldn’t be a major issue.

Lin Feng looked at Long Shaotian, a curious expression on his face. He wasn’t particularly surprised by Long Shaotian’s request. After all, not many people possessed both the capability and the courage to undertake such a task. Considering their past cooperation, it was quite normal for Long Shaotian to seek Lin Feng’s protection for Long Xiaoyun.

However, what truly piqued Lin Feng’s curiosity was the price Long Shaotian would offer. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Seeing the look on Lin Feng’s face, Long Shaotian knew Lin Feng was interested. It was time to discuss the price.

"Chunhua, leave us for a moment. I have some matters to discuss privately with Lin Feng..." Long Shaotian said casually to Chen Chunhua, who was beside him.

"Lord Dragon, you’re still so weak! How can you stay alone in the room with an outsider? Let me stay and look after you..." Hearing Long Shaotian’s words, Chen Chunhua glared at Lin Feng with some dissatisfaction and pleaded to Long Shaotian.

So, Chen Chunhua was worried Lin Feng might harm Long Shaotian...

"Chunhua, you’re overthinking things! If he wanted to harm me, you couldn’t stop him..." Long Shaotian glanced at Lin Feng, then turned to Chen Chunhua and said with a smile.
