Chapter 7: Only Cheating Dad Now

  "You little scoundrel, you've finally come back, and look at the state you're in!"

  Duan Lingtian gazed at the youth in front of him, whose clothes were already tattered and worn out. He didn't know how to express the excitement in his heart, thinking that he would never see this useless second son again.

  "Old man, is this how you welcome me? I almost died and came back to life, at the very least we should have a meal and drink a few cups to calm our nerves!"

  Duan Yifeng's mouth was shouting "old dad", but in his heart, he still felt awkward. This title was too unfamiliar to him, but there was no way around it. As people say, "where there is milk, there is a mother", and this father not only had the ability but also seemed to love himself very much, so when he called out, it sounded quite smooth.

  "Alright, alright, alright, let Li the housekeeper prepare some good wine and dishes for now, we'll talk again later."

  "Oh, right. This is Jade girl. She wants to join our Kuangjian Mountain Villa and is my friend." Duan Yifeng pointed behind him at the little loli.

  "Alright, since you're a friend of Yifeng's, just move in directly then. I'll get someone to arrange it later."

  "Thank you, Uncle Duan! I, Lin Yuer, will definitely work hard to cultivate from now on. Hehe!" Lin Yuer hastily expressed her gratitude.

  "Hmm, you little girl should be even younger than Yun'er, yet you've also entered the Lingyun Academy, impressive, impressive!"

  Duan Lingtian opened his Heavenly Eye technique to observe Lin Yuer, then thought of his second son who didn't like to cultivate and prepared to scold him.

  "Yi Feng, you too have entered Ling Yun Academy, haha it seems that this little rabbit also knows how to cultivate."

  Duan Lingtian suddenly discovered that Duan Yifeng was also a low-level Lingyun warrior, and his mood improved even more. At least this son had also entered the threshold of cultivation.

  "You go down and take a bath, tidy up your appearance, and wait for Yuer to arrange the accommodation. Then you can come together to have dinner. Well, from now on, Yuer can treat this place as her own home, and don't be too restrained." Duan Lingkong said after some thought.

  "Ah... thank you so much!" Lin Yuer was overjoyed. "Then we'll head down first..."

  After Duan Yi Feng and Lin Yu Er left, Duan Ling Kong let out a sigh and said: "Ah, it's good that they're back. This kid has quite the eye for talent, this little girl will definitely be a stunning beauty in two years' time, and her innate abilities are so impressive."

  "Yi Feng brother, the place I live is not far from yours. Li Guanjia also said that in the future, I will cultivate with the Duan family disciples together, but I don't know why?" Lin Yuer and Duan Yi Feng chatted while walking.

  At this time, Duan Yifeng had changed into a blue long shirt and combed his hair, looking even more handsome. They were about to go eat, and Duan Yifeng was also thinking about how to answer some questions he might face next.

  "Because although I was quite the ladies' man in the past, you're the first girl I've ever brought back to the mountain villa."

  Duan Yifeng used to like teasing girls, but he never did anything bad. He just liked that ambiguous relationship. Now that Duan Yifeng has brought back a Lin Yu'er who looks so cute and obedient, with great talent, the originally restless Duan family members can't help but have wild thoughts.

  So they directly treated Lin Yuer as an important figure, anyway, it's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, they thought that Duan Yifeng had ideas about Lin Yuer, this guess was absolutely not wrong.

  Duan Lingkong told Duan Yifeng's mother about bringing Lin Yuer back to the mountain villa, now everyone in the Duan family must know. Isn't there a saying that goes like this? "If you want news to spread quickly, the best method is to tell a woman."

  "So I was actually the first girl that Yifeng Gege brought back to the mountain villa! Could it be that Yifeng Gege... "

  Lin Yuer's head drooped lower and her face grew redder, her heart beating faster with each passing thought. She stole a few glances at the handsome back in front of her, her mind racing with emotions.

  A long table was filled with many people, all of whom were important figures in the Duan family who could sit here to eat. Next to it were several other tables also filled with many people, all of whom were high-ranking members of the Kuangjian Mountain Villa.

  Duan Yifeng came in and first led Lin Yuer to find a seat, bowed to the elders before sitting down.

  Duan Yifeng's sister, Duan Yiyun, ran over and sat down next to Duan Yifeng: "Oh my, second brother, is this the younger sister of Yu'er? She looks too cute, even more lovely than me. Hmm, her eyes are really beautiful, better-looking than mine."

  "Oh dear, Yiyun sister is so great, I think sister is lovely..."

  "These two little girls, meeting for the first time and already praising each other's cuteness, what is this?!" Duan Yifeng couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He looked up to see his brother and mother also staring at Lin Yu'er with that kind of gaze, making him feel even more helpless.

  "I'm only sixteen and Lin Yuer is only thirteen, are you all in favor of puppy love?" Duan Yifeng thought to himself.

  Duan Lingtian suddenly stood up, and everyone looked at him quietly. "This time, the Duanshan Gate directly killed Yifeng, which is really too contemptuous of our Kuangjian Mountain Villa. This is a slap in the face to our Kuangjian Mountain Villa. What does everyone think about this?"

  "Landlord, let's just go and settle this directly, I've been tolerating the Tong family for far too long, they're being utterly outrageous."

  "Landlord, go ahead and hit him! The people from the Poisonous Scorpion Gate are ruthless and venomous in their actions. I've disliked them for a long time."

  "Master, the Poison Scorpion Gate and we are evenly matched in strength. This matter still needs to be carefully considered! We can't act rashly!" Suddenly all sorts of voices rose up.

  "Father, I have something to say. May I be heard?" At this point, Duan Yifeng suddenly stood up, and Duan Lingkong was very surprised. What would this second son, who rarely spoke, say?

  "Alright, go ahead and say what you want."

  "Father, if we were to fight now, what are our chances of winning?" Duan Yifeng asked. "Only fifty percent," Duan Lingxiao thought for a moment before saying. "Then how much longer will it take for you to break through to the Lingyun General level, Father?"

  "It should be done within a month"

  "Everyone doesn't need to take risks for my sake, a small mistake can ruin the big plan. Everyone should prepare first and wait until Father breaks through to Lingyun in a month's time, then we'll launch a surprise attack and catch them off guard. I hope everyone will train diligently this month. This way, the Du Xie Men will think we're not taking action and will definitely relax their vigilance after a month. What do you all think of my suggestion?" Duan Yi Feng said calmly, as if he was talking about something trivial, with little emotional fluctuation on his face.

  "Good, Second Master has spoken very reasonably."

  "The second young master is considerate of the overall situation, acts with stability and gravity, has deep and profound plans, is sinister and cunning, and will not be a mediocre person like Xiao in the future."

  "My grass, who said sinister and cunning? That's a derogatory term. It should be said that the second young master is elegant and refined, with a heroic spirit and a romantic nature."

  …………

  Duan Yifeng listened to some people's praise and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Alas, being uncultured is truly terrifying!

  "Yi Feng is right, let's do it this way. One month later, we'll destroy the Du Xie Men." Duan Ling Kong saw that some people didn't even know how to praise others and quickly said: "Everyone, dinner is ready, Li Guan Jia can serve the dishes now."

  After dinner, one by one left, only Duan Yifeng's family of five and Lin Yu'er were chatting together, and other direct and collateral relatives of the Duan family also returned to their respective rooms.

  "Yi Feng, I have a question for you. The guards I sent out, are they all dead? Your cultivation is so low, how did you manage to escape? I thought I'd never see you again, but it seems like this experience has made you more mature and open-minded. It looks like going through this ordeal has changed you a lot and you've grown up quite a bit." Duan Lingtian's eyes showed a rare warmth

  "Oh, yes, because they all died to protect me. They changed me, making me understand that living is about being happy and holding on to something. A high-ranking Lingyun officer from the Duègōng Gate directly gave me two palm strikes. Due to the huge difference in strength, he must have thought I was dead for sure. He absolutely didn't think I would survive and come back even stronger. If I get the chance, I'll kill that high-ranking Lingyun officer with my own hands." Duàn Yìfēng's eyes revealed a hint of faint killing intent.

  "It seems that having gone through life and death, you've indeed changed a lot. It doesn't seem like this is necessarily a bad thing. As long as you know how to cultivate yourself, it's good. I won't always be by your side to protect you, so you must increase your own strength. However, as long as I'm by your side, no one will dare to harm you." Duan Lingkong's face showed a fierce expression, but in Duan Yifeng's heart, he deeply felt a kind of paternal love that he had never felt before.

  Duan Yifeng gazed up at the night sky, his emotions complicated. "Ah, sorry, I won't be able to tell you that I'm not Duan Yifeng. From now on, I'll just be Duan Yifeng. Dad, this time I can only deceive you."

  As he thought about it, Duan Yifeng seemed to have found something he wanted to protect. After all, he was an orphan before and had never experienced such intense paternal love. Moreover, he had taken over the other person's soul, and he also felt a strange closeness to Duan Lingkong and others, as if it had penetrated into his bones.
