Chapter 190: Seeking Reinforcements

"This friend of yours doesn't seem like an ordinary person!" Song Yuxin said to Chen Jing with a curious look on her face.

"When did I ever say he was an ordinary person!" Although Chen Jing did not see things as clearly as Huo Yuhao, she still guessed at Lingyun's general methods and could not help but sigh inwardly at the precision with which Lingyun controlled his power.

With Zhou Hao as a cautionary tale, no one present dared to underestimate Lingyun anymore. Because of a single sentence from Lingyun, Zhou Hao had knelt, and because of a single glance from him, he had begged for mercy, losing both his face and his dignity. This bizarre situation made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts. Not a single person wanted to experience what Zhou Hao had faced; otherwise, if such a thing happened to them once, they would absolutely have no face left to continue mixing in this circle.

However, the people present were also very curious to know how Lingyun would face Zhou Hao's retaliation next; after all, Zhou Hao's vindictive nature was famous throughout the entire circle! One was a playboy young master of the Zhou Family, the other was an unknown, powerful outsider—everyone present was extremely expectant to see what kind of sparks would fly between the two.

However, the people here soon shifted their attention to Song Yuxin and Huo Yuhao, as they were the protagonists of the day.

Several days had passed since Song Yuxin's welcome party. During this time, Lingyun had also heard some details about Song Yuxin's marriage from Chen Jing. Without even revealing his cultivation, Huo Yuhao had already successfully passed the tests of both his father-in-law and mother-in-law, though there were still some discordant voices within the family who believed Huo Yuhao was not worthy of Song Yuxin. However, Lingyun believed that the disappearance of such voices was only a matter of time; after all, Huo Yuhao was an extremely outstanding person himself, and if he were to reveal his true strength, he could immediately make those discordant voices shut up.

After this period of cultivation, Chen Jing's cultivation had recovered to the Mysterious Tier Initial Stage. Although her realm had not returned to the Mysterious Tier Peak of the past, compared to before, her strength was already almost the same.

"We have a guest!" Seeing Chen Jing finish her day's cultivation and come out, Lingyun said to her.

"A guest? What guest?" Chen Jing asked in confusion.

"I don't know. The person's strength is not low. I think it's highly likely they are looking for you!" Lingyun withdrew his projected Divine Sense.

Just as Chen Jing was about to ask who the person was, the room door was knocked. A flash of curiosity crossed Chen Jing's eyes, and she ran directly to open the door.

"Eh, isn't this Xiaolunzi? Why did you run here?" Seeing the person outside the door, Chen Jing could not help but tilt her head and ask curiously.

"Xiaolunzi..." Hearing this form of address, the man standing outside the door had black lines hanging all over his face, and he then said with extreme depression: "Big Sister, I'm not small anymore. Why do you still call me Xiaolunzi? If others hear it, I will definitely be laughed at!"

"Hmm? Are you unhappy that I call you Xiaolunzi?" Chen Jing glanced at the man sideways.

Looking at this gaze from Chen Jing, Zheng Lun could not help but recall those blood-and-tear histories from when he was young. He immediately shivered and said with a bitter smile: "No, no, Big Sister, as long as you are willing, just keep calling me Xiaolunzi!"

"Alright, Xiaolunzi, how did you find this place?" Chen Jing asked.

"Well, Big Sister, it doesn't seem very appropriate to talk about it here!" Zheng Lun looked troubled.

"That's true, then come in and talk!" Chen Jing turned and walked into the room. "Don't be so surprised, the owner of this house knew you were coming long ago!"

"Knew I was coming long ago?" Zheng Lun's expression changed slightly. Chen Jing's behavior already told him that the owner of this house was likely not a simple character either. But then again, how could a heaven-favored daughter like Big Sister just casually move into someone else's home?

When he entered the house, Lingyun's gaze immediately fell upon Zheng Lun. In an instant, Zheng Lun's body could not help but tremble; he felt as if everything about him had been seen through by this man.

"If you have something to say, speak!" Chen Jing sat on the sofa and asked.

"The information you gave me before, Big Sister, I have had my subordinates fully verify. Tonight, they are having a gathering there, but we are currently facing a shortage of manpower. I hope Big Sister can assist us in taking everyone there down!" Zheng Lun said.

"That's not right, hasn't the Dragon Group always had plenty of people? How did it suddenly become so short-staffed?" Chen Jing asked.

"Well, Big Sister, you should know that during this time, those guys from overseas have gone crazy, trying their hardest to sneak into the country. Most of the Dragon Group's people have gone to prevent them from causing trouble, and most of those left behind have their own tasks and cannot be mobilized. There aren't many people who can carry out the mission; otherwise, how do you think such a thing would fall to us? Those Ninjas are taking advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble in Beijing, so we must have a Thunder action to suppress them." Zheng Lun said.

"Is this why you came to ask for reinforcements?" Chen Jing asked.

"Yes, for this matter, I still need your help, Big Sister!" Zheng Lun nodded vigorously. "With our current strength, we are completely insufficient to take down that group of guys. You have wide connections, Big Sister, so I wanted you to find us some outside help."

"Lingyun, are you doing this?" Chen Jing's gaze turned to Lingyun.

Lingyun narrowed his eyes: "With an opportunity like this, why wouldn't I? After the last incident, those guys were intimidated by us and stayed quiet for a while. But now they are starting to stir again; it's only right to give them a good beating!"

"So, you agree to take action?" Chen Jing asked. "How many people can you get to help?"

"Me, Ye Xi, Saeko, and Lingqi—the four of us are enough! Others are not suitable for now!" Lingyun said indifferently.

"That's great! With the four of you, this operation will definitely be a sure success!" Chen Jing said with a happy face.

"Uh, well, Big Sister, I'm a bit confused now. I don't know what your conversation means!" Zheng Lun looked at Lingyun and the other person with a blank face and said weakly.

"As for this, you don't need to know so much. You just need to know that, including me, there are five experts with a strength of at least Mysterious Tier Initial Stage joining your operation this time!" Chen Jing said. "And among them is the hero who let you get this intelligence!"

"Five experts at Mysterious Tier Initial Stage or above?" Zheng Lun looked at Chen Jing in disbelief. With most experts sent away, there were not many experts at Mysterious Tier or above in the current Dragon Group. Could it be that this person in front of him and the people he mentioned were all experts at Mysterious Tier or above?

"Don't worry, Big Sister won't cheat you." Chen Jing patted Zheng Lun on the shoulder. In fact, she had understated the strength of the reinforcements this time; after all, among the four of them, including Lingyun, the lowest strength was Earth Realm Mid-Stage. That "Mysterious Tier Initial Stage" referred to herself.

After leaving the meeting point, Zheng Lun left in a daze. He had originally come to Chen Jing with a sliver of hope, wishing she could get some support from the forces behind her. But from beginning to end, he had never expected to encounter such a huge surprise—five reinforcements with a strength of at least Mysterious Tier Initial Stage. This lineup was absolutely enough to make their operation this time a sure success!
