Super War God in the City-Chapter 471: Be a Man!
Early in the morning, Xiao Chubing hurried from the company to the airport to bid farewell to Ling Fan. She had been working overnight at the company these past few days and hadn't had the chance to spend some alone time with Official Ling!
Of course, that also meant they could not indulge in the pleasures of the flesh. The situation was inevitable; she hadn't expected Ling Fan's departure to be so sudden, and many business matters were still personally managed by her.
She had spent the last few days working overnight at the company, and she had handed over the respective business affairs to Xia Ying and Liu Yuqiong. She was incredibly busy.
However, even if she had had some free time, she probably wouldn't have been in the mood due to the Long Family's kidnapping incident involving Feng Shuya.
No sooner had Xiao Chubing gotten into the car than she received a call from Xia Ying.
"Xia Ying, what's up?" Xiao Chubing answered the call and asked.
A somewhat embarrassed voice came from the other end of the line, "Chu Bing, Lady Nora from the international Moore Consortium wants to discuss business with our company. The deal is too big, and I'm not sure I can handle it alone!"
Xia Ying was also a bit frustrated; Xiao Chubing had just transitioned the power to her, and the first business deal she encountered was already uncertain. It was quite embarrassing!
Xiao Chubing sighed inwardly; Xia Ying had grown up fast. She had initially planned to pass the baton primarily to Feng Shuya, but due to the incident, she had to transition to her second choice, Xia Ying.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Xiao Chubing responded on the phone and then hurried back toward the company.
At this moment, a sensually dazzling woman was sitting somewhat nervously in the conference room at Tianyun Group Headquarters. It was none other than Blood Peony, Lady Nora, one of the magnates of Dragon Gate.
She had been in Binzhou for a few days already, unsure how to approach Ling Beiming. The name of the War Emperor was incredibly intimidating to her.
Two years ago, that was a name like that of a deity, and she, a minor character, didn't have the qualifications to even stand beside him.
After investigating and giving it considerable thought, she decided to first establish a good relationship with Ling Beiming's woman through collaboration with Tianyun Group.
It would be better to approach him slowly. She also feared that a sudden visit would be too awkward—if Ling Beiming was displeased and decided to have her killed, it would be most unfortunate!
....
Imperial Capital, Phoenix Perch Mountain.
The mid-mountain area was already overcrowded, and the few flat areas near the summit had been occupied by the three major families.
The people from the Long Family, the Leng family, and even those from the Vermilion Bird Family had rushed over. It was such a significant event that it had almost the entire Capital Circle stirred up.
Standing next to Vermilion Bird was a silent girl who didn't like to join in the commotion. However, she knew her sister's little secret; this man seemed to be her sister's beloved, a very mysterious fellow.
So today, she wanted to see what this guy looked like and how he could be so attractive that such an outstanding sister wouldn't consider any other man, not even Mu Zhou, the second brother from the Five Peaks Mu Family, who stood beside her.
She had heard that her sister was quite happy a few days ago when her fiancé, Mu Ziping, third son of the Mu Family, accidentally died while exploring Shennong Peak.
But she hadn't expected the Mu Family to promptly push forward with their second son, Mu Zhou. It seemed they were firmly intent on finalizing this marriage alliance.
On another side of the peak, a middle-aged man in military attire stood with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly looking down at the crowd below.
"Father, isn't this Ling Fan the one who killed Yin Tianzu, the Dragon Gate Grandmaster who came to provoke Huaxia? Is he really worth your personal attention? Could it be that you want to recruit him into the Canglong Army?" A young man beside him asked hesitantly.
The resolute-faced middle-aged man was the Commander of the Canglong Army in the Northern Region; his authority was second only to a few, commanding an army of three hundred thousand. The fact that he left the Northern Region to pay special attention to this event caught the young man by surprise.
"Hehe, Xiao Xing, remember this: there's always someone better out there. I don't have the qualification to recruit him into the Canglong Army!" The man gave a helpless, wry smile.
The young man by his side was shocked and awkwardly said, "Father, that joke isn't funny. I really want to see what's so special about this guy to get that much respect. Not even you're on par, then?"
Just then, an elderly man in grey clothes walked up the winding stone steps like a dragon, taking lengths of several meters with each step!
"Father, it looks like people from the Beiming are coming!" the young man remarked.
Ye Long looked up, only to see the grey-clothed elder walking straight towards the Leng family.
"Father, Elder Xiang Yan has arrived!" Leng Zhenyu immediately flushed with excitement and exclaimed.
He never forgot the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Ling Fan at the Su family. Today, he was determined to reclaim his honor.
The rest of the Leng family also looked eagerly and excitedly at the grey-clothed elder before them.
"Elder Xiang, I am truly embarrassed to trouble you to make the trip in person," Leng Liangce immediately said with a cupped fist and polite tone.
Xiang Yan approached Leng Liangce and gave a slight nod, "Jun Hao is my most proud and favored disciple. If there hadn't been some matters within the family recently, I would have already made a trip to the secular world. Has the young man not arrived yet?"
"He should be here soon, according to the agreed time," Leng Liangce replied after checking the time.
Not far away, amongst the Long family camp.
"Father, if Elder Xiang can handle that kid, there's no need for us to make a move!" Long Tianjun said indifferently.
"Heh heh, I hope so. Elder Xiang is the first powerhouse of the Xiang family, with a Cultivation at the Martial Saint Realm. He has at least a seventy percent chance of success. However, it's always wise to be cautious. It's still good to prepare for all eventualities," Long Zhengye nodded and mused to himself.
"Sis, that guy seems to be in danger. The situation today is not simple. The experts from the Long family haven't even shown up yet!" the girl said worriedly.
Mu Zhou slightly frowned beside her. He had come to interact with Li Wei at the request of his family. He had just arrived today and heard that something significant had happened in the Imperial Capital. Originally indifferent to coming, as he thought little of these trivial matters of the Secular World, which could not attract his interest at all. But the young Miss Li insisted on coming, so he simply followed. To his surprise, even the seniors from the Five Peaks showed up in person!
"Heh heh, I don't know what's the deal with that kid, but for him to disturb our Five Peaks, today he is bound to die without a doubt!" Mu Zhou said lightly.
Although he had not met Ling Fan, he felt some displeasure in his heart. As a man, he sensed that Miss Li seemed to have a rather close relationship with that person. He wasn't a fool—he could see the worry on Li Wei's face.
"He won't have any problems!" Li Wei pondered for a moment and then retorted lightly.
Li Ding, standing beside her, looked helplessly at his eldest daughter and sighed inwardly. His purpose in coming here today was to thoroughly understand the individual who had captivated his daughter's soul—what kind of background did he have?
He had some secretive understanding of Ling Fan's identity but not in detail, which involved some secrets of the Canglong Army. Li Wei wouldn't tell him, and he also wouldn't ask; it was an understanding between father and daughter.
"Today's spectacle is probably a rarity seen once in decades. Even Long Xian, the old patriarch of the Long family, has appeared!" A group of Capital Circle princes discussed in low voices halfway up the mountain.
"Old Patriarch Leng is here as well. It is said that the kid has guts. These days, I specifically inquired about the Long family's secrets from twenty years ago!" one of the young masters said with a mysterious smile.
"Huh? Bro, don't leave us hanging. If you've got news, do share. It's more fun to enjoy it together!" someone immediately urged impatiently.
"Ahem, this matter should not be spread; otherwise, it wouldn't be good if it reached the Long family's ears. Back in the day, Long Tianjun's father was cuckolded by a powerless nobody.
Later, the rival died in an unclear manner. I don't need to spell out what probably happened. Yet, they let the rival's son slip through the cracks.
Today, the kid who should have died overcame his misfortunes and reappeared before the Long family, he even cuckolded Long Tianjun as well. What do you think—does he have guts?" the young master told the others in a low voice.
"Damn, he really does have guts. That's a true man!" someone immediately raised their thumb in approval.
"No wonder this has become such a big deal. But the kid is indeed skilled; a few days ago, he killed Yin Tianzu of Dragon Gate in Binhai Imperial Lake. It seems the Long family is scared!" another murmured.

"Heh, of course they're afraid. A tiger at home is a source of grief. They say that if this kid is left to grow unchecked, it will be troublesome. The Long family is likely having nightmares!" another person chimed in wryly.
As everyone was buzzing with discussion, a handsome young man at the foot of the mountain ascended the steps, leisurely making his way up!
