Chapter 168

Lu Bu pulled his neck in and gave a sheepish smile.

A flicker of embarrassment darted across his aged face.

But in an instant, he returned to normal.

Then, as if remembering something, his heart stirred slightly.

He looked up at him and asked with a grin.

"How old is the Great Dragon Chief now?"

"Does he have a son?"

"If he does, would he mind adding one more?"

"If he doesn't, would he mind having one?"

Puff!

Zhao Yun spat out his drink.

He stared at him in horror, eyes filled with shock and doubt.

Even his speech became slightly stammering.

"Y-you... you... you... what do you want to do?!"

"Do you want to die?!"

"Does it need to be this dramatic?"

Lu Bu gave him an annoyed side-eye.

He straightened his expression and continued with solemn tone.

"I've wandered half my life without ever finding a true lord."

"Only thanks to the Great Dragon Chief's keen eye did I finally find my chance."

"If the Great Dragon Chief will not reject me, I wish to bow before him as my adoptive father—I will brave fire and water, without hesitation!!"

As he spoke,

he also winked and shed two tears.

His voice was filled with sincerity.

"Won't you be killed by the Great Dragon Chief for doing this?!"

"We've known each other a while—I'm just warning you."

"You've already taken two adoptive fathers—and neither ended well."

Hearing this,

Zhao Yun groaned and rubbed his forehead.

His mouth twitched uncontrollably.

His gaze toward him turned wry.

Even a faint hope of anticipation crept into it.

As if he were looking forward to that scene.

It would surely be amusing!

Lu Bu was speechless.

For a moment, he had no reply.

As he silently pondered,

a figure walked in from the door.

"To be honest, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you'd better pick another dream."

"The Great Dragon Chief's status is far too exalted."

"Do you really think someone like us can even meet him?"

"You're underestimating the Qinglong Society—and the Great Dragon Chief—way too much!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the room fell silent.

Then,

the two had no time to think further.

They immediately rose and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Military Strategist." x2

"No need for such formality."

Pang Tong waved his hand with a chuckle.

Then his expression turned serious as he spoke.

"I assume you've both received the Great Dragon Chief's secret order."

"From now on, we must work together."

"We cannot afford to fail!"

"If you delay the Great Dragon Chief's plan, you know the consequences."

The two froze upon hearing this.

They exchanged glances.

A hint of solemnity flashed across their faces.

They bowed in unison and replied in one voice.

"All thanks to the strategist's teachings; we shall surely obey your orders!"

"Good!"

Pang Tong nodded slightly.

Great Qing, imperial palace.

"Is the Great Dragon Head finally ready to act?"

Holding the secret letter in hand.

Hai Physician murmured softly.

A flicker of eagerness passed through his eyes.

As a member of the Qinglong Society.

Though he did not know how many hidden agents Great Qing had planted.

But he could be certain.

The number of hidden agents was surely unimaginably enormous!!

Even.

It was very likely that many court officials.

Were affiliated with the Qinglong Society!

Qinglong Peak, Qinglong Shanzhuang's rear garden.

At this moment, Ximen Wudi.

Was calmly sipping tea.

Listening quietly as Jiang Yuyan played the qin.

In the courtyard.

Aside from Master Xiaomeng, who stood slightly curious to the side.

Wang Yuyan and the other women danced gracefully to the music.

Perhaps they had accepted their fate.

Or perhaps because their bodies had already been given to him.

In any case.

At this moment, they.

No longer struggled or resisted as they had at first.
