Lin Dong scratched his head a bit embarrassed, "Mr. Chu, you’re overestimating me. Although I’m willing to try and spar with Elder Su, I’m not necessarily his match." Now he could only pray that Elder Su wouldn’t be too harsh on him. Perhaps because he was sure that with Chu Ge and the others present, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch him get bullied too severely by Elder Su, Lin Dong didn’t feel any weakness in his heart at this moment. However, Chu Ge was unconcerned. He raised the corner of his lips into a slight smile and patted Lin Dong’s shoulder, saying, "Don’t be too tense. You’ve never even fought him; how do you know you’re not a match for Elder Su?" "What?" Lin Dong raised his eyes curiously. "From what I know, Elder Su relies on hard skills, and the Mantis Fist I taught you before is perfect for dealing with him." Chu Ge said quietly, "What, are you trying to tell me that during this time, you haven’t been practicing that set of boxing?" "No, no, no," Lin Dong hurriedly explained, "It’s not that I haven’t trained, but I’m very curious. Since Elder Su cultivates hard skills, shouldn’t I use softness to overcome hardness? Why use the Mantis Fist, which is even harder, to deal with Elder Su?" Chu Ge laughed, "You’re right. Generally, when they cultivate hard skills, you just need to use softness to overcome hardness. But now you have to face Elder Su. Elder Su’s hard skills are different from others. He cultivates according to human inertia, so if he encounters very soft martial arts, it becomes stronger. On the contrary, using hardness to overcome hardness makes it much weaker." Based on the information he got from Jian Chunqiu yesterday, Chu Ge analyzed the situation and ultimately believed that Lin Dong using the hardness of the Mantis Fist against Elder Su would yield unexpected results. Lin Dong began to slowly familiarize himself with the steps of the Mantis Fist. After Jian Chunqiu told him that this Mantis Fist was not like what was portrayed on TV but was a formidable martial art suitable for Postnatal Martial Artists like them, he began to study it earnestly. After training, he discovered that his obsession with cultivation was innately present. In fact, Lin Dong now felt as though he was born to cultivate. It’s just a pity that he wasn’t an Innate Martial Artist; in the end, he could only reach Postnatal Perfection. Lin Dong was very envious of Huo Tianqian. Although Huo Tianqian was now at Postnatal Perfection, his martial arts had been personally instructed by Master Guangde, and he now possessed the strength of a middle-stage Innate. He didn’t know if he could have such good fortune. For now, he could only advance step by step and cultivate steadily. At this moment, Long Ang had finished the call and came over. He nodded at Chu Ge and said, "I’ve gotten in touch. The Great Elder said he will bring the Second Elder on time." Chu Ge nodded slightly. He saw some worry in Long Ang’s eyes, "What’s wrong? Are you worried that Long Er won’t lure Elder Su into the trap?" Long Ang sighed lightly, "That’s right. Long Er is very simple-minded. Now that he already knows this is all a setup, he can’t stay calm. I’m very worried he might end up exposing everything we’ve planned." Chu Ge fell silent as well. This was a matter of personality, not something that could be changed quickly. All he could do was set up the plan accurately, but entrusting its execution to others remained a bit tricky. Lin Dong couldn’t help but speak up, "We could have Long Er record what he wants to say in advance." Then, when Elder Su arrives, just play Long Er’s pre-recorded message without letting him speak. "Moreover, in Elder Su’s eyes now, Long Er is already dead. Asking a dead man to speak is indeed creepy, and it’s easy to give the game away. Given Long Er’s naturally timid character, if he speaks, wouldn’t it be even easier for them to figure it out?" Chu Ge looked at Lin Dong in surprise and tapped him on the back of the head, "Good lad, you’ve got a knack for devious ideas. This task is up to you." "Huh?" Lin Dong hadn’t expected his casual suggestion to land him a task. Long Er was clearly not fond of them. If he were to approach Long Er for recording, it’s not just about what to record; that guy wouldn’t cooperate either. Long Ang said, "I also know some other secrets about Elder Su. I can take the opportunity to have Long Er reveal them all. Elder Su cares a lot about his face. Whoever brings up his embarrassing matters will provoke his anger. Once someone’s emotions are out of control, it’s hard to remain composed, and a lot of extreme actions might emerge from that." Chu Ge looked at Long Ang approvingly and joked, "Wow, the famous Group Leader Long Ang, knowing so many secrets about your Elder Su, even understanding...psychology?" Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Long Ang smiled a bit sheepishly, "Actually, it isn’t really psychology. It’s just something I read when I had free time, and I found it interesting, so I took a closer look." "As for those things about Elder Su, not only do I know, but the other elders do as well. It’s just a mutual understanding, given we’re all in the Dragon Group, that’s why we often give each other some dignity." "Haha, you’re considerate of others, but what about them?" Chu Ge shook his head helplessly, "You have to differentiate whom you’re good to. You can’t be nice to just anyone. If you run into an ingrate, isn’t your kindness wasted?" Chu Ge was speaking without malice. He just didn’t expect that someone who could make it to the position of Group Leader could still maintain a kind heart. No wonder Long Ang said that even if the Great Elder asked him to return, he might not go back. Long Ang did have some lingering feelings for the Dragon Group, but they couldn’t bring him back to the past. The intrigue within the Dragon Group is far more complex than that of Ancient Martial Arts. Ancient Martial Arts sects all manage themselves behind closed doors, each with different systems, like a big dye pot with all sorts of colors. But the Dragon Group is not like that; there’s only one color. Long Ang realized this, which is why he decided not to return to the Dragon Group, as his personality was not suited for it. Long Ang sighed. He naturally understood that Chu Ge bore him no malice. "Helping the Dragon Group root out the traitor can be the last thing I do for the Dragon Group. It’s my way of repaying them for all the years of favor they’ve given me." Lin Dong looked at Long Ang and then at Chu Ge, feeling the atmosphere suddenly became quite strange.
