Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 473: Brigadier General and Regimental Commander

"Senior Brother, calm down. Master’s health is very good. I parted with him just over half a year ago. I also don’t know where Master is..." Lin Feng understood the excitement of his fellow disciple, Shang Yi. If he wasn’t mistaken, this brother probably hadn’t seen their master for a very long time, much like it had been with Brother Wang Anjun initially. But having been apart from Master for over half a year, Lin Feng also didn’t know how Master was now.

"Junior Brother, where are you? If it’s convenient, let’s meet face to face. Fifteen years have passed, and I never expected to have a Junior Brother. This surprise is too great!" Shang Yi felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing that Lin Feng also didn’t know Master’s whereabouts. He missed Master the most, but having Lin Feng as a Junior Brother was also a very good thing. Now he was very eager to meet Lin Feng and get to know this Junior Brother named Lin Feng better.

"I’m at Tianhai Airport, about to fly directly to Mingkun Airport. I have some things to take care of at your place, and I can stop by to see you." Lin Feng was planning to visit his Senior Brother anyway, so he shared his itinerary with Shang Yi, providing an opportunity for the two brothers to meet and chat.

"Alright then, Junior Brother, I’ll head to Mingkun Airport to pick you up right away. It’s still quite a distance from here to Mingkun Airport." Hearing that Lin Feng was about to fly to Mingkun, Shang Yi became anxious. There were several hundred kilometers to cover to Mingkun Airport from where he was, so he had to rush to the airport now to pick up Lin Feng.

"Okay, let’s talk more when we see each other. If it’s inconvenient for you, don’t worry about me. I can manage on my own once I arrive," Lin Feng said after hearing that Shang Yi had a long way to go. He didn’t want to trouble Shang Yi, knowing that the Commander of the Field Combat Division was usually very busy. It might be more convenient for him to head over on his own once he got to Mingkun.

"Junior Brother, what are you talking about! No more talk, I’m heading to the airport now. You’ll definitely see me when you get off the plane!" With that, Shang Yi hung up the phone, made an internal call to bring his car around, stepped out of the office, and got into the car to rush to Mingkun Airport. On the way there, Shang Yi couldn’t help but feel a little excited about finally meeting his Junior Brother, wondering what kind of surprise Lin Feng, who would be his subordinate as a General, might bring him. With this thought, he ordered the driver to speed up, determined to get there before his Junior Brother arrived at Mingkun Airport.

However, once Shang Yi calmed down in the car, he immediately thought of a problem. How did his Junior Brother get his contact information? The only possibility was that it came from their Master, and the number 1911 was a special sequence exclusive to Master. Since all of this was handed over to his Junior Brother, it suggested a possibility that his Junior Brother could be Master’s direct disciple. If that was the case, the situation was definitely not ordinary. Master was like an Immortal, so could it be that his Junior Brother might also...

The more Shang Yi thought about it, the more it seemed likely. When he first saw Master, he was already white-haired, and it was impossible for him to be the only disciple of note. So many years had passed, and only Lin Feng had come looking for him, which couldn’t help but indicate something.

After hearing the busy tone on the phone, Lin Feng figured his Senior Brother was a bit too eager. He shook his head helplessly and sat in the airport’s waiting lounge for the plane.

......

By the time Shang Yi and his two-car convoy arrived at Mingkun Airport, Lin Feng’s plane had not yet landed. Besides Shang Yi’s own vehicle, the other car was occupied by the logistics manager and two guards because Shang Yi, as a Major General Division Commander, was entitled to such treatment.

After getting out of the car, Shang Yi headed straight to the arrival area, which surprised the logistics manager Zhang Wenhua. Although Zhang Wenhua was the logistics manager, he essentially acted as Shang Yi’s personal secretary, handling all of Shang Yi’s affairs outside of work. Zhang was very ordinary in appearance, neither tall nor thin, with a very common face that blended into the crowd, the kind of person who you couldn’t find once they got lost in a sea of people. However, Zhang Wenhua was highly capable, which was exactly why Shang Yi had kept him by his side for years.

Initially, Zhang suspected that General Shang Yi was rushing to the airport to quickly handle some matter, so he hurriedly followed. However, he never expected Shang Yi to be here to receive someone. Since taking over the position, he had never encountered such a situation. Who could the visitor be to warrant such a rushed reception from the General...?

Zhang Wenhua followed Shang Yi toward the arrival gate while closely reviewing the recent itinerary notices for important leaders. He could not recall any special leaders scheduled to inspect the area. General Shang Yi was a rare Major General Division Commander within the entire military. Such a rank would be equivalent to that of an army commander in other services, so even if the army commander or political commissar visited, they would usually exchange a few casual words, and it would be considered polite to even greet them at the entrance of the office building.

Who then could the General be here to receive? Could it be the commander-in-chief or other central figures making a surprise visit? But that was impossible; if that were the case, it wouldn’t just be the General present here. So... who exactly was the General waiting to meet? Despite racking his brain, Zhang Wenhua couldn’t come up with an explanation.

"Go get a sign that reads ’Tianhai Lin Feng.’" Seeing that the plane from Tianhai to Mingkun was due to arrive in a little over twenty minutes, Shang Yi instructed the nearby manager Zhang Wenhua to take care of it. As he had never seen his Junior Brother before, he had to use a written sign to receive this unfamiliar Junior Brother.

"Yes, I’ll do it right away." Zhang Wenhua responded promptly to the General’s order and ran off. With paper and a pen readily available in the car, he quickly wrote out a sign and hurried back to Shang Yi’s side.

"When the plane from Tianhai arrives, hold it up high," Shang Yi instructed after reviewing the sign Zhang Wenhua had prepared. Satisfied with the clarity of the writing, he told Zhang to wait and then stopped talking, pacing around the arrival gate while beginning to wonder what his unseen Junior Brother would be like...

"Yes, General!" Zhang Wenhua answered solemnly. Seeing Shang Yi deep in thought on the side, he didn’t want to disturb him further. However, at this moment, Zhang started to speculate about the identity of the person who warranted such treatment from the General. He had never seen the General treat anyone with such seriousness before, not even high-ranking officers like commanders or political commissars.

Moreover, Lin Feng’s name had puzzled Zhang Wenhua for a long time—he couldn’t recall any leader with that name from the higher-ups or the central government. He even sneakily pulled out his notebook from his briefcase but couldn’t find the name Lin Feng. So, who was Lin Feng that day? What was his identity that warranted such treatment by the division commander?

Curiosity filled Zhang Wenhua’s heart because Shang Yi’s behavior that day was too abnormal! However, no matter what, he thought that once they picked up the person, they just needed to be careful. Anyone who warranted such treatment by the division commander was certainly no ordinary person.

"Good heavens! A major general!"

"Am I seeing things, it really is a major general!"

"Is a major general coming to receive someone?"

...

Similarly, others at the airport had all noticed the sudden appearance of the general. They wondered in their hearts—this major general looked so young, and moreover...moreover, he came personally to receive someone at the plane. This...this was just too unbelievable. Who could warrant such a rousing reception?

No, someone who could have such a status to receive people at the airport must certainly be a high-ranking official who usually would use a special passage. How could they appear through a civilian exit? But then...who could have such status that a general would come to pick them up? This...this was truly beyond anyone’s conception of the kind of treatment possible.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with surprise, hoping to get a good look later at whom the general was there to receive...

......

Soon after, the plane carrying Lin Feng arrived at Mingkun Airport.

Hearing that the Tianhai flight had arrived at Mingkun, Shang Yi stopped pacing around. He stood motionless at the exit, anxiously waiting for his disciple, Lin Feng! Zhang Wenhua, standing beside Shang Yi, didn’t dare to be negligent either. He directly ordered the two guards to hold up the white banner in preparation to receive the man named Lin Feng.

Lin Feng disembarked from the plane smoothly. As soon as he exited, he saw two people holding up a white paper with his name on it. Beside them stood a middle-aged man in his forties, with a gleaming star on his collar. He knew this spirited-looking middle-aged man must be his Immortal Brother Shang Yi, the major general commander. Somewhat interesting, he thought for a moment, and walked straight toward Shang Yi and the group.

"Immortal Brother Shang Yi? I am Lin Feng." Lin Feng approached Shang Yi, taking the initiative to speak and introduce himself. Seeing his Immortal Brother Shang Yi for the first time also gave him a bit of a surprise.

"Haha, disciple! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, let’s talk in the car." In fact, Shang Yi himself was startled by the sudden appearance of this disciple. Shang Yi had wondered before if he had any Immortal brothers or disciples, but he never imagined his master would give him such a big surprise by sending him such a young disciple. Regardless, they should leave this place first.

Shang Yi would never have dreamed that the disciple Lin Feng he talked to over the phone would be so young. The disciple looked to be in his early twenties, which made him almost unbelievable for Shang Yi!

However, Shang Yi’s attention quickly shifted to the ancient ring in Lin Feng’s hand. He recognized it instantly; it was the ring his master used to wear. He immediately identified the identity of the man before him—Lin Feng was undoubtedly his disciple, and since the master had given the ring to Lin Feng, it confirmed what Shang Yi had guessed: Lin Feng was indeed the direct disciple of his master. Otherwise, the master would never have given that ring to a disciple.

With this thought, Shang Yi grabbed Lin Feng and hugged him tightly twice in his arms, patted Lin Feng’s shoulder, and gestured for him to get into the car to talk further. This place wasn’t a good spot for conversation.
