"Isn't Ji Dong an orphan?" Lan Baoer asked instinctively when she heard Fury's question.
Fury shook his head and said, "He used to be, but he's not leaving anymore. Speaking of which, the Diamond Corps is just a servant of Ji Dong's family. Ji Yeshang is Ji Dong's blood brother from a different mother. The current King of Equality is Ji Dong's biological grandfather. The Diamond Corps is just a subordinate of the King of Equality. You don't have to worry so much. "
Lan Baoer listened to Fury's words with her mouth agape. "Ji Dong is the King of Equality's grandson? This, this … "
Fury chuckled and said, "Stop this … that. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's sit down. There's plenty of space anyway."
"Alright." Lan Baoer wiped her tears away and sat down right away. She sat next to Ji Dong.
Ji Dong turned to look at her. When their eyes met, they couldn't help but look away.
With Lan Baoer's participation, the originally carefree atmosphere of eating and drinking changed a little. Fury, Ah Bing, and Zhu Yan were fine, but Ji Dong was a little uncomfortable.
Ah Bing looked at Ji Dong, then at Lan Baoer. He couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although he was a straightforward person, his thoughts were very meticulous. He could naturally tell that something was wrong between the two of them. When he thought of the two girls that Ji Dong had brought with him the last time, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He thought to himself, 'Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of beauties!'
"Ji Dong, when did you come back?" After eating and drinking for a while, Lan Baoer finally calmed down a little. She asked Ji Dong, who was beside her.
"I just came back yesterday," Ji Dong answered mechanically.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any feelings for Lan Baoer. After all, they had helped each other during the first test, and then looked after each other for ten days on the Holy Evil Battlefield. Lan Baoer's gentleness was something he would never forget. However, he already had the Flaming Bar in his heart. How could there be room for anyone else? He didn't want to hurt Bao 'er, so he had always kept a distance from her.
Lan Baoer bit her lower lip as she looked at Ji Dong, who was sitting upright and still. Although she knew that this man would not belong to her when she first saw the Flaming Bar, she could never forget the scene when Ji Dong saved her during the preliminary examination. Even though Ji Dong became stronger and stronger after that, and even displayed his prowess in the Holy and Evil Battlefield, Lan Baoer still had the deepest impression of him as a cold, arrogant, and violent young man facing a strong opponent.
A woman would never forget her first man. Although nothing had happened between Ji Dong and Lan Baoer, he was the first man who had entered her heart. Lan Baoer had tried to give up and divert her attention, such as Lang Tianyi. However, just like how a beautiful jade was afraid of comparison, when she forced herself to accept those suitors, she would only compare herself with Ji Dong in her heart, and then she would subconsciously give up.
Every time she saw Ji Dong again, Lan Baoer would discover that the resistance in her heart would become even weaker. Previously, when she and Lang Tianyi came here, the moment they sat down, her gaze was attracted by Ji Dong's back. Four years had passed, and Ji Dong had become even taller. Just by looking at his back, Lan Baoer should not have been able to recognize him, but she seemed to have a telepathic connection with him, and still recognized him. Her gaze became sluggish, especially when she saw Fury, she was even more certain of her guess. It was also because of this moment of sluggishness that she did not have the time to stop Lang Tianyi from slamming the table and cursing loudly.
"Oh, that's right. Little Junior, I remember that there were two girls with you previously. Where are they?" Fury looked at Lan Baoer and Ji Dong and could not help but sigh in his heart. He knew Ji Dong's personality very well, and he decided to help Ji Dong.
Hearing Fury's question, Ji Dong immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "They still have some matters to attend to, so they'll leave first."
Fury chuckled and said, "You little brat, are you trying to kill two birds with one stone?" He was not joking with this sentence, but he was testing Ji Dong and Lan Baoer. If Ji Dong was really killing two birds with one stone, then it proved that he could possibly kill three birds with one stone. If Lan Baoer did not mind, they might really be together. It could be said that there was a double meaning in his words.
Ji Dong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Senior, don't talk nonsense. The one in the golden armor is my girlfriend's friend, and the one in the long dress is my girlfriend. Her name is Flaming Bar. If there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce her to you. Oh, that's right, you saw her at the party last time. At that time, she danced with me."
Fury said in surprise, "The girl that made you so angry for her. I still remember the way you two danced. She was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Junior brother, your luck is really not ordinary." Fury said in surprise, "That's the girl that made you so angry for her. Looking at the look in Ji Dong's eyes, Fury understood that Lan Baoer did not stand a chance. "Baoer, I'm sorry, I can't help you. You should forget about this little Junior!"
As expected, listening to the conversation between the two brothers, Lan Baoer's face became paler and paler. Her gaze that was originally on Ji Dong turned back to herself, and she slowly lowered her head.
Ji Dong said, "In my heart, Flaming Bar is more important than my life. I have never regretted killing Ji Yifeng back then, even after I found out that he was my cousin. In this life, there can only be one woman, Flaming Bar. She is the goddess in my heart. Other than her, there is no one else in my heart."
Silence. Fury and Hyōhime kept signaling each other with their eyes, but Ji Dong still said everything. As the saying goes, it is better to get the pain over with than to prolong it. Baoer, you are a good girl, but I really can't be with you, and I don't want to hurt you.
Tears finally rolled down her cheeks. Lan Baoer did not look at Ji Dong again. She suppressed the emotion of crying and stood up slowly. She bowed slightly to Fury, Ah Bing, and Zhu Yan. She said, "Senior Brothers, Master Zhu Yan, I'm not feeling well. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, she did not wait for the others to speak and turned to run. Before she reached the door, she was already sobbing uncontrollably. The sorrowful sobs made Fury frown.
"Little Junior, you are too cruel. Baoer is a good girl. Why do you have to hurt her heart like this? You could have been more tactful. "
Ji Dong laughed bitterly and said, "Senior, how can I not see Bao 'er's feelings? But what I said just now was the truth. In my heart, there is only the Flaming Bar. I can't repay Bao' er's feelings in any way. Why don't I just give up on her? That would be better for her. It is better to get the pain over with than to prolong it. Let's not talk about this. Let's drink." As he said that, he grabbed the wine glass in front of him and poured the remaining half of the wine into his stomach.
He felt guilty, but he could not repay Bao 'er with his feelings. Ji Dong thought to himself, Bao' er, when we reach the Holy Evil Battlefield, I will definitely protect you. Consider it my repayment for your feelings!
At this moment, dense and orderly footsteps came from outside. The loud rumbling was accompanied by the clanging of metal, and it once again disrupted Ji Dong and the others' drinking mood.
Fury said, "What will come has come. Lang Tianyi, that brat, really doesn't know his place."
At this moment, Ji Dong was in a bad mood. He stood up slowly and said, "Senior, Big Brother Abing, Big Brother, continue drinking. I will go out and take a look."
As he said that, he stood up. Just as he was about to go out to take a look, the door of the Flaming Bar was pushed open. Three people walked in, or rather, two people walked in and carried one person.
Among the two people who walked in, Ji Dong recognized one of them. One of them was one of the commanders of the Diamond Corps. Back then, he had led the Diamond Corps to help him escort the Forest Demons across the border between the Eastern Wood Empire and the Central Plains Empire to settle down in the Earth Spirit Mountain Range. The person beside Wolf was tall and burly, similar to Fury. He had a ferocious appearance and an evil aura. His entire body gave off an explosive aura. Sensing this person's aura, Ji Dong could not help but shiver. This person was even more dangerous than Tian Xie, whom he had fought against previously. If the Extermination Legion's commander, Chen Longzuo, was said to have a murderous aura, then this person's aura was that of iron and blood. Wolf was already an extremely powerful and outstanding soldier, but standing beside Ye Futian, he seemed like a subordinate. And in this person's hand was Lang Tianyi.
Seeing Ji Dong, Wolf quickly whispered something into the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man nodded and took a step forward. He was already five meters away from Ji Dong.
The Mana in Ji Dong's body was immediately mobilized. Fury, Abing, and Zhu Yan, who were behind him, also stood up. They could all see how dangerous this man was.
But who knew that after this man took a step forward, his next action was a thud. He knelt on the ground. More accurately, he knelt together with Lang Tianyi in front of Ji Dong.
"Greetings, Young Master. Lang Tianyi has not taught me well. I have specially come to apologize."
Lang Tianyi? No wonder. When Ji Dong heard this name, he was instantly relieved. No wonder this person had such an imposing aura. He was actually the commander of the Diamond Corps, Lang Tianyi. Perhaps his Mana level was not as high as Xi Luo and Wofo, who were at the peak of the Eight Champions. But if they were on the battlefield, Ji Dong was sure that Xi Luo and Wofo would not be his match. Lang Tianyi's aura was similar to Chen Longao's, and the pressure that Lang Tianyi gave off was even stronger than Shui Mingyue and Leng Fengyun. This was not just in terms of strength, but also in terms of spirit. After obtaining the Soul Fire, Ji Dong's senses were much sharper than before.
As he said that, Lang Tianyi put Lang Tianyi down. Lang Tianyi's face was pale, his expression extremely weary. He knelt there, his eyes filled with fear, but the hatred had already disappeared.
"General Lang Tianyi, please rise. The matter has already passed." When Hao Dong saw Lang Tianyi, he knew that Lang Tianyi already knew his identity. After all, he and Fury had just returned from the Heavenly Green Plains, where the two guilds had battled. Lang Tianyi must have gone back to look for reinforcements. The moment he said Fury's name, Lang Tianyi and Lang Tianyi immediately knew who he was.
Lang Tianyi did not get up, his voice deep and powerful as he said: "Young Master, my unfilial son has offended you, and should have been executed. However, I only have this one son, so please spare his life. I've already broken his other arm, and if Young Master still feels that this is not enough, Lang Tianyi is willing to take the punishment for my son."
"No, Dad, it's all my fault, how can I let you take the punishment for me?" Lang Tianyi was after all not an idiot. Although he was proud, his pride came from his father and the Diamond Corps, as well as his own talent. Now that both his arms were broken, his body and mind were heavily injured, he no longer had his previous arrogance. Regret was useless, and the only thing he wanted to do now was not to implicate his father.
With his broken arms, he could not support himself on the ground, but he still kowtowed three times towards Ji Dong.
Ji Dong stood there without moving, allowing Lang Tianyi to return the three kowtows to him. He then took a step forward and helped Lang Tianyi up.
"General Lang Xie, I've already dealt with everything that happened. Although Lang Tianyi was in the wrong, losing an arm is enough punishment. For the sake of the General, just treat it as if nothing happened."
Lang Xie was overjoyed, and he was about to kneel again, but Ji Dong grabbed his shoulders. Both of them did not use any Devilish Qi, but Lang Xie was shocked to discover that in terms of pure physical strength, this Young Lord actually surpassed him. He had seen the battle from afar, and without question, this Young Lord was the true successor of the Prince Equivalent bloodline. If Ji Yeshang had injured Lang Tianyi today, Lang Xie might not have come for revenge, but he definitely would not have brought Lang Tianyi here to apologize, because Ji Yeshang had already been adopted by the Imperial Family. But Ji Dong was different. He could be said to be the only successor of the Prince Equivalent bloodline. Although Lang Xie had many flaws, he was absolutely loyal to the Prince Equivalent bloodline. Otherwise, how could Ji Yunsheng be at ease handing over the Diamond Corps to him? It must be known that after Ji Dong's father died, Ji Yunsheng had treated Lang Xie as his own son, and in the Prince Equivalent bloodline, his status was extremely high.
"Unfilial son, hurry up and thank the Young Lord." Lang Xie angrily rebuked Lang Tianyi.
Lang Tianyi felt a bitter taste in his mouth. I lost two arms, and I still have to thank him? What do you mean by 'just treat it as if nothing happened'? I'm already crippled, and I'm afraid I won't be able to advance any further in the future. Even if I want to retain my original Devilish Qi, it will be extremely difficult.
Although his heart was filled with pain, he had no choice but to thank Ji Dong. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Dong pulled him up, and with a flick of his wrist, a small green gourd appeared in his palm. Opening the stopper, an extremely dense Life Qi spread out, filling every nook and cranny of the incense stick. Even breathing it in would cause one's body to feel extremely comfortable.
"Lang Tianyi, open your mouth." Ji Dong lightly said. Lang Tianyi was dumbfounded, as were Lang Xie and Lang Ya. What was this?
