Chapter 845 - 823: This Is the Third Reason I Came Here
When the news reached the Huang Family, Huang Likong was standing in the courtyard.
Though the northern weather was extremely cold, Huang Likong stood there in long sleeves and light clothing, hands behind his back, his expression icy cold.
Huang Shaowei was still in the hospital receiving treatment. Although his life was saved, that thing was already ruined, and Huang Likong himself did not have a second son, which meant the family line was effectively cut off.
Of course, non-direct descendants, such as the Second Elder and Third Elder, and others of Huang Likong's generation in the Huang Family also had sons, but for Huang Likong, there was only this one direct heir.
Huang Likong did not speak, and the Huang Family disciple who reported the news stood respectfully nearby, not daring to move.
Bang!
Suddenly, Huang Likong slapped the tree in the courtyard, and with a cracking sound, the tree, as thick as a bowl, was directly broken in half with one palm.
"Ren Feng, that boy, truly deserves to die!"
Huang Likong's face was filled with gloomy rage, and he wanted to kill Ren Feng swiftly.
He didn't expect that even after sending the Shadow Demon, it still wasn't enough to defeat him. Ren Feng's strength was evidently beyond what he had anticipated.
"Go, summon a few of the family's benefactors to come see me."
"Yes."
The disciple responded, turned, and left.
Huang Likong stood there, his entire aura cold and filled with murderous intent, and his overall strength appeared no less than Ren Feng's!
"Mr. Huang, why have you summoned the benefactors?"
Suddenly, a distant and ethereal voice sounded.
On the parapet wall at the back of the courtyard, a person was standing, dressed in an ancient cyan robe, with fluttering sleeves, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes, bearing an ancient sword on their back.
Standing like a banished immortal, ethereal and serene, upon closer inspection, a cyan dragon was embroidered on the person's robe!
Dragon Group Four Gods, Cyan Dragon!
Seeing the Cyan Dragon, Huang Likong was suddenly startled, retracting his imposing aura, and stood there respectfully, "Huang Likong pays respects to Master Cyan Dragon."
The Cyan Dragon's figure flickered, moving extremely fast, almost instantly standing beside Huang Likong, gazing at the broken tree, chuckling slightly, "What a pity for such a fine ginkgo tree."
"It's no matter, it can be replanted."
The Cyan Dragon shook his head, "Replanting takes time; wasn't this tree a part of the Huang Family? Growing to this size took decades, if cut off halfway, how can it be replanted?"
Huang Likong was startled inside, looking up at the Cyan Dragon, "I wonder what brings Master Cyan Dragon here?"
"Though it's a small matter, I had to come." The Cyan Dragon smiled, "Mr. Huang, aren't you going to invite me for a cup of tea?"
"Of course, please."
Huang Likong gestured with his hand, and the Cyan Dragon was the first to step into the living room.
Sitting at the head position, the Cyan Dragon sat down, and Huang Likong sat to the side, having already instructed someone to bring out the treasured high-grade tea leaves, pondering the visitor's intentions in his heart.
As a member of the Dragon Group Four Gods, the Cyan Dragon was usually very busy, even if visiting, it wouldn't be personally, so what brought him here this time?
His earlier metaphor with the tree, could it be a subtle warning?
Huang Likong's heart was somewhat uncertain, the Cyan Dragon placed the sword on the table, smiling warmly, "Mr. Huang, don't be nervous. I'm here at someone else's request; it's an affair I shouldn't interfere in, but at her request, I had to come. Moreover, this time, I'm here for your benefit."
Huang Likong nodded, "I'm listening."
"A tree aspiring to greatness must be tolerant, enduring wind, sun, and rain." The Cyan Dragon smiled slightly, "Though the Huang Family isn't yet a towering tree, it has been a mainstay of Huaxia, and many past matters were tolerated by the Dragon Group because of your sacrifices for Huaxia."
"But this time, I also heard about your son's actions in Jiangnan City; to kill that person, you sent the Shadow Demon and a group of elites, right?"
Huang Likong was startled inside, "Are you here because of that person?"
"Not entirely correct." The Cyan Dragon gently shook his head, "He accounts for one-third of the reason, another third is a request from Miss Long, and another is my unwillingness to see the Huang Family decline."
Huang Likong frowned slightly, confusion in his eyes.
Just then, the servant brought over the tea, and a fragrant aroma filled the porcelain teacup.
The Cyan Dragon took a sip, nodding, "Good tea! If I'm not mistaken, this is Snowfield Red Flower Tea, grown on the Tibetan Plateau, over thirty years old, a fine collection, Mr. Huang."
"You're too kind." Huang Likong's heart churned like a raging sea, "Master Cyan Dragon, could you elaborate a bit?"
"Alright, I'll be straightforward." The Cyan Dragon looked at Huang Likong, "Give up your thoughts and act as if this never happened."
"But he crippled my son." Huang Likong was somewhat anxious inside.
"Your son's actions were indeed excessive." The Cyan Dragon spoke, "I investigated, and his actions were somewhat justified."
Huang Likong felt a chill within, not expecting the Dragon Group to favor Ren Feng?
"Just a mere Purple Gold Medal recipient, worthy of such protection from you? The Huang Family's sacrifices back then, can't even shield our descendants?"
"Mr. Huang." The smile vanished from the Cyan Dragon's face, his expression calm, his tone quite stern.
"Your family is special due to past sacrifices, so there has been some tolerance, including not pursuing last year's incident involving your son. Additionally, sending people privately to Jiangnan City, the Huang Family has exhausted its goodwill with the Dragon Group."
The Cyan Dragon said faintly, "Of course, I suggest you could kill him, I won't stop you, but if it leads to a ruinous end, don't expect the Dragon Group to save you again."
Huang Likong's stiff expression contained shock, as his left hand gripped the armrest of the rosewood chair, causing it to collapse under his grip!
The Cyan Dragon rose, taking the sword and heading out, stopping at the threshold, "For the sake of your tea, I'll tell you this: your Huang Family is no match for him, and that's the third reason I'm here: not wanting to witness the Huang Family's decline."
After speaking, the Cyan Dragon's figure disappeared from the living room.
Huang Likong's face shifted between emotions, with the prepared tea steaming beside, the whole living room was extremely quiet.
"Patriarch, the benefactors have all arrived." The previous Huang Family disciple said respectfully from outside, with nine benefactors standing behind him, their strength also appearing very formidable.
