Super War God in the City

"Cough cough... Honey, have you washed your feet yet? I'll go heat up some water for a foot bath..." Official Ling said, feeling guilty, and he was about to make a dash for it.

Xiao Chubing's gaze, seemingly glued to Ling Fan, did not shift at all as she stared at him expressionlessly.

Ling Fan paused and suddenly couldn't move his feet. "Hehe, um, honey, did Yun Fei explain it to you already?"

Every time he faced Xiao Chubing's anger, Official Ling would get stage fright. He wanted to secretly send Yun Fei a message to ask for her help in extinguishing the fire!

"Who's laughing with you? Can't you see that I'm angry?" Xiao Chubing said irritably.

Although she had known that this guy might have taken in Li Mengying, she had to show some serious anger; the prestige of the Main Palace couldn't be diminished.

"Honey...I..." Ling Fan said weakly, suddenly at a loss for words.

In such situations, even if one was in the right, they couldn't articulate it, or else Yun Fei wouldn't have needed to explain!

Moreover, since Yun Fei had already explained it, how could he still explain it!

Looking at Ling Fan's silent, downcast appearance, Xiao Chubing felt even more upset. "Do you know that your silence makes me even angrier!"

Ling Fan sheepishly said, "I'm not talking, you see, because I know I'm wrong. This matter would sound twisted if explained. Wouldn't you be even angrier if you listened?"

"You... so you know it's wrong and still you go ahead and do it!" Xiao Chubing felt like punching cotton, utterly frustrated.

"Honey, I'll be more careful next time!" Ling Fan said like a student who had made a mistake.

Xiao Chubing's eyes widened as she said irritably, "What do you mean 'next time'?"

"Cough cough... no... none left..." Ling Fan broke out in a sweat.

"Come here, I'm going to hit you!" Xiao Chubing bit her lip furiously.

Seeing that, Ling Fan scurried over immediately, "Ready to take my punishment!"

Seeing Ling Fan's appearance, Xiao Chubing felt he was increasingly asking for it, so she immediately kicked at him with her raised foot.

Ling Fan, quick to react, caught her, "Honey, calm down, I'll massage your feet!"

"Let me go first!" Xiao Chubing said irritably.

"Not letting go!" Ling Fan replied crisply.

"You... let go, I'm angry because you didn't talk to me first. You're showing me that you don't care enough!" Xiao Chubing pouted and huffed.

Ling Fan felt bitter inside, "Honey, that's unjust, I care too much. I was afraid you would be angry, that's why I didn't dare say anything and had Yun Fei explain instead!"

Official Ling was a bit frustrated. Yun Fei wasn't reliable in handling things, it seemed. He would have to punish her later.

"Oh, so you let Yun Fei explain to me and then I shouldn't be angry, huh? And, your feelings towards me are out of fear, right?" Xiao Chubing huffed.

"Heh, not fear, it's love!" Official Ling said cheesily.

"Quick response and sweet-talking as usual, get lost!" Xiao Chubing said irritably.

Ling Fan exhaled deeply; it looked like things were almost settled as he then sat down beside her.

"Honey, I have something to tell you!"

"You're leaving again?"

"Uh..."

"Go on, where are you planning to fool around this time!"

Ling Fan scratched his head, finding the phrasing a bit awkward.

He briefly introduced his upcoming journey to Zhongnan Academy, "That place isn't of much use to me. It's mainly prepared for you all!"

Xiao Chubing's brow furrowed in confusion, "Prepared for us? What do you mean?"

"Since you all wish to pursue cultivation, relying solely on the Cultivation Technique I provided isn't enough. You need more resources and a good cultivation environment to catch up with me quickly," Ling Fan explained.

Xiao Chubing nodded, "So you mean, we'll follow you to Zhongnan Academy for cultivation later on?"

"Yes, soon, once I settle there, I will temporarily send you, Yun Fei, and also Li Mengying along with Yao Yue to Zhongnan. The company affairs, let Xia Ying handle them!" Ling Fan suggested.

Xiao Chubing hesitated slightly but nodded, "I understand. Do you plan to bring anyone else?"

"If in the future you take everyone capable and trustworthy, it won't be easy to find such people!"

"For now, no one else. In the future, Xu Miaotong from Binzhou University might join Tian Yun; she could be someone to focus on cultivating as she is also trustworthy," Ling Fan suddenly recalled Xu Miaotong.

"Hmm, Xia Ying should be fine, I'll start transitioning the authority to her then!

However, I've set up a new system in the company; no matter who takes over, you are the legal person behind it.

Frankly speaking, everyone is working for you. You have a veto over the entire company!" Xiao Chubing wasn't worried about the company changing hands, but she was concerned about handing it over to someone untrustworthy who wouldn't manage it well.

"Just devise a good succession mechanism; for now, there's no need to worry about these. There are trustworthy people around, and skills can be gradually cultivated!" Ling Fan smiled.

Xiao Chubing acknowledged, feeling reassured, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll spend tonight with you," Ling Fan said gently as he wrapped his arm around Xiao Chubing's shoulders.
