Jian Chunqiu cleared his throat lightly, glanced around, and whether out of concern for others nearby or as a subconscious gesture, he walked over to Chu Ge and whispered, "How about this, let’s make a deal, shall we?" Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, looking at Jian Chunqiu with amusement, "Uncle Jian, do you want those jars of wine?" "Cough cough, it’s not exactly that, you see, you’re only in your early twenties, drinking such strong wine can easily harm your health. How about this, give it to me, and I’ll help you keep it safe?" "So, the deal you want to make with me is?" Chu Ge looked at Jian Chunqiu with a smile, clearly understanding his intention. For more chapters visıt 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Jian Chunqiu awkwardly looked at Chu Ge, this guy, though young, is as shrewd as that old man of his! "I see you care about Lin Dong quite a bit, how about this, I trade Lin Dong for a few jars of your wine?" Chu Ge knew Jian Chunqiu would offer something in exchange but didn’t expect he’d use Lin Dong. "You personally told me Lin Dong is a promising talent for ancient martial arts, how, can you bear to see him wasted in my hands?" He indeed admired Lin Dong, but it was just admiration. He couldn’t guide Lin Dong on the right path and didn’t know how to mentor him. If it were to give occasional advice, that would be fine, but to truly take him under his wing, that was tricky! "Rest assured, Lin Dong is still my disciple. What I mean is, after I take him back to Spirit Mountain to nurture him well, I’ll bring him back!" Jian Chunqiu winked at Chu Ge, acting cute despite his age, making it hard for Chu Ge to handle. "Alright, Uncle Jian, your cuteness is a bit overwhelming for me." Chu Ge jumped back a step, distancing himself from Jian Chunqiu. "If you can help Lin Dong win against Elder Su tonight, perhaps I might consider giving you a few jars." Chu Ge said to Jian Chunqiu with a sly smile. "Help?" Jian Chunqiu was puzzled; it was a sure fact that Lin Dong couldn’t beat Elder Su, so how could he help? Jian Chunqiu quickly thought of something, looking at Chu Ge in shock, "You don’t mean you want me to help Lin Dong cheat, right?" If that were true, it wouldn’t help Lin Dong’s future growth in any way, it would only inflate his ego. "I know what you’re worried about." Chu Ge said, as it was something he had worried about as well. "But what I want you to help with is, to act at the critical moment, to save Long Er’s life." Jian Chunqiu was even more puzzled, how did it involve Long Er now? "Elder Su will surely realize Long Er isn’t really dead. To prevent him from talking, he’ll definitely strike hard. By then, Lin Dong will be barely protecting himself, much less being able to save Long Er." Jian Chunqiu understood, he pondered for a moment. "Is it really that simple?" Chu Ge smiled slightly, "That’s all there is to it." "I don’t quite believe just how clever you are." Jian Chunqiu clicked his tongue. "Uncle Jian, don’t compare me to that old man’s demeanor. I’m much more reliable than him." Chu Ge cleared his throat lightly, then said softly, "But, this wine, I’ll only give you one pot." "One..." Jian Chunqiu’s lips twitched somewhat, he knew this guy wasn’t that generous! "Alright! Even one pot is worth drinking!" Jian Chunqiu snorted lightly. There was nothing he could do; the old man’s brewed wine was truly delicious. With things arranged as such, Chu Ge raised his eyes to the sky. Although it was still morning, he already had a premonition that tonight, right here, a great battle was about to unfold. Jian Chunqiu hadn’t taken a few steps when he turned back, realizing he didn’t fully understand something, "Chu Ge, you just said tonight? Why wait until tonight?" "Because Elder Su fears suspicion, so he always checks on the children at night. Even if something goes wrong with the child now, he’ll hold off until night to come. Moreover, Lin Dong has confirmed with the dean, Elder Su will arrive right on time at seven tonight." At this moment, Long Ang and Long Er were recording. As Lin Dong had said, with Long Ang involved, it’s more efficient. Once Long Ang spoke to Long Er, he nodded in agreement. Recording in advance was prudent, to avoid any slip-ups from nervousness at the time. "Leader, I know you were definitely set up by Elder Su to be driven out. I just heard that tonight the Great Elder and Second Elder are coming, and once they know you were framed by Elder Su, they will let you return to the Dragon Group for sure." Long Er said excitedly. He had enough of Long Jiu’s oppression. Ever since Long Jiu took over as the leader, he and Long Yi almost never got assigned tasks. Long Ang’s heart trembled slightly at Long Er’s words, a wry smile forming at the corners of his mouth, "Actually, I know that in the Dragon Group, the ones who truly can’t let go of me are only you and Long Yi." "Plus, Long Er, I’ve already left the Dragon Group, and no matter the outcome tonight, my connection with the Dragon Group has come to an end." Long Er pressed his lips tightly, unwilling to hear Long Ang say these things, he simply covered his ears, "I don’t want to hear it, I know you actually can’t bear to leave the Dragon Group, you’re just putting on a front and don’t want to return so easily!" Long Ang sighed, "Long Er, I understand how you feel, but please try to understand me as well. It’s not about keeping up appearances, it’s just these few days not being the group leader, living like an ordinary person in this city has given me unprecedented peace of mind." "I know saying this might make you think I’m being ungrateful, but I’m really not suited for the Dragon Group. Even if this time I return, one day in the future, I’ll still be expelled for the same reasons. It’s not about appearances, it’s that the Dragon Group’s management system is outdated and unsuitable for someone like me." Long Er looked up at Long Ang, wishing he could just fake his own death and follow Long Ang wherever he went. No longer having to endure Long Jiu’s oppression! Long Ang raised his hand, patting Long Er on the shoulder, saying, "I know that working under Long Jiu can’t be easy for you. Don’t worry, tonight I’ll propose to the Great Elder, to have the Dragon Group use the practical method of choosing the strongest in martial arts to be the leader." Looking at the resolute expression on Long Ang’s face, Long Er couldn’t help but sigh inside, it seems Group Leader Long Ang will really not return to the Dragon Group...
