Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1713: Chapter 1747: Liu Shen Clan Heavenly Painting Halberd Stone Carving

”Don’t worry. Your father just suffered a minor injury; when I came back, he was much better. He should be able to return to Yanjing in the next couple of days.”

Lin Zifeng gently reassured her.

”Mm. I hope you and my father both stay safe. Although I don’t understand the conflicts between men, as a woman, a wife, and a daughter, I don’t want any accidents to happen to my husband or my father.”

”I know, I certainly will. Even if I don’t care about the big picture, I have to care about the small one.” Lin Zifeng said with a cheeky smile.

”Alright, let’s stop talking about it. It’s almost time for dinner. Xixi’s cooking will be ready soon.” With that, Lin Zifeng didn’t want to continue discussing life and death matters. He had many things to do that weren’t something a few words from her could change.

”You just can’t listen to me nag a little more, can you?” Nangong Bing said with a hint of irritation. As the chairman and CEO of the Huayu Group, she now felt like a housewife, having gone from being not very talkative to becoming quite a nagger...

Downstairs, Zhang Xixi had already prepared the dishes, with Huahua and Tangtang helping out on the side, and the food started crackling in the pan.

But Lin Zifeng wasn’t really in the mood to stay for dinner.

He had very important matters to attend to.

”Uncle, where are you going?”

As Lin Zifeng went downstairs intending to sneak out, he was discovered by Tangtang.

”Going out for some things, I’ll be back soon.” Lin Zifeng said with a forced smile.

”It’s almost dinner time; can’t you go after you’ve eaten?” Tangtang pouted, displeased.

Helpless, Lin Zifeng had to agree to her request and stay for dinner...

”Uncle, Xixi’s cooking is really delicious. You’ll never get tired of it.”

Tangtang tugged at his arm.

”By the way, Tangtang, there’s something I wanted to ask you.”

”What is it?”

”When I first met you, didn’t you give me a bracelet with a ruby in it? You knew the purpose of that bracelet, didn’t you?”

If it weren’t for the ruby on the bracelet, Lin Zifeng wouldn’t have been able to so easily acquire the Heavenly Painting Halberd. Moreover, Tangtang behaved unusually that day, deliberately handing him the bracelet.

Up until now, Lin Zifeng suspected Tangtang might not be as simple and innocent as she seemed; perhaps she knew quite a bit. She just preferred a more carefree lifestyle, unwilling to burden herself too much.

Some people, clearly strong and knowledgeable, choose to face the world with a different attitude to escape the harshness of reality.

”Uncle, I don’t know. That was given to me by my mom when I was little. She said when I grow up and go out, there would be some family things for me to collect. I don’t actually know what they are.”

”So you really don’t know anything?” Lin Zifeng looked at her with a strange expression.

”I don’t know.” She blinked her innocent, clear eyes and shook her head.

”...”

Lin Zifeng was speechless. If what Tangtang said was true, then the Holy Weapon of the Liu Clan was meant for her to claim, yet she hadn’t, and Lin Zifeng ended up with it.

”You must recognize this, don’t you?”

Lin Zifeng placed the toothpick-sized Heavenly Painting Halberd in front of her to see if she recognized it.

”It’s the Heavenly Painting Halberd.” Tangtang’s eyes lit up, instantly recognizing it.

”How do you know it’s the Heavenly Painting Halberd?” Lin Zifeng asked.

”In our clan, there are stone carvings of the Heavenly Painting Halberd left by Liu Shen, and it looks just like this. It’s said it can change size. Uncle, did you make it smaller?”

”If I didn’t make it smaller, should I have made it bigger?”

Lin Zifeng gave her an exasperated look. Should he carry the Heavenly Painting Halberd around everywhere, inviting hatred?

”Buzz buzz buzz”

At that moment, just as Tangtang was about to reach for the Heavenly Painting Halberd, it gently vibrated twice.

The light flickered slightly, but eventually stopped moving.

”Wow! It moves!”

Tangtang excitedly exclaimed after seeing the Heavenly Painting Halberd tremble slightly.

Lin Zifeng quickly put the Heavenly Painting Halberd away. He wasn’t sure if Tangtang was pretending, but from her outward appearance, she indeed seemed to know very little.

Soon, Zhang Xixi had finished cooking. When it was time to eat, it felt particularly awkward since it was originally just Lin Zifeng and Nangong Bing eating together, and the atmosphere was fine. Now, with Zhang Xixi, Huahua, and Tangtang, they vaguely sensed there might be a connection between Lin Zifeng and Nangong Bing, but they didn’t know how deep that connection was.

”I’m full.” This guy, almost as soon as he got to the table, quickly devoured his food. In a few minutes, he finished a bowl, drank some water, and was ready to leave.

”Uncle, where are you going?”

The four women simultaneously turned their gaze on him.

”Going out to handle a few things, I’ll be back soon. Take your time eating.” Trying to escape those four startled looks, Lin Zifeng thought he’d better make a quick exit.

”Lin Zifeng, when will you be back?”

Nangong Bing quickly stood up, but Lin Zifeng had already slammed the door and left, swiftly heading towards the underground garage.

Leaving Nangong Bing speechless.

While Zhang Xixi just kept her head down, not saying a word, quietly eating her meal... Occasionally she would pick food for Nangong Bing and the others, and after eating, she voluntarily went to wash the dishes. She was a silent and good woman...

Meanwhile, after leaving the villa, Lin Zifeng’s target for the night was the Shangguan Family. He had already offended the Taishang Sect, so it didn’t matter anymore. Tonight he would visit the Shangguan Family.

He didn’t even fear the Taihuang Demon, so what was there to be afraid of?

.........

”Brother Lin!”

”Brother Lin.”

”Young Master Lin!”

”...” Arriving at the South Heavenly Gate headquarters, everyone crowded around Lin Zifeng.

”Brother Lin, is there a new mission?” Black Hawk quickly extinguished his cigarette, spiritedly approaching. He didn’t know about Lin Zifeng’s trip to Kunling Mountain.

During this time, all the members of the South Heavenly Gate had been recuperating. The previous clash with the Shangguan Family had a significant impact on the South Heavenly Gate.

”There’s a new mission tonight, and I’m afraid I’ll need to trouble everyone.” Lin Zifeng scanned everyone present.

”Great! Finally, a mission after so many days. We’ve been idle and growing rust.” Bu Chen was very excited. Recently, everyone in the South Heavenly Gate had been hidden in the headquarters, knowing very little about the outside world, which was hard for this group of high-spirited warriors to bear.

”Brother Lin, just tell us what the mission is so I don’t have to guess and tire myself out.”

”Yes, Young Master Lin, just tell us. We’re itching with anticipation.” Everyone’s eyes gleamed with excitement, their blood boiling at the mention of a mission.

Since following Lin Zifeng to fight for dominance, there hadn’t been a coward in the South Heavenly Gate.
