The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

After returning to Wuxi, Ling Feng took Qiao Feng to an inn to meet Wang Yuyan, A Zhu, and Zhong Ling. Then they all went to Songhelou for a small gathering.

The three women breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ling Feng and his companion return safely.

Especially Wang Yuyan and Zhong Ling, who had been worried that something might have happened to Ling Feng and the others, were finally relieved to see him return safely.

After arriving at Songhelou, Ling Feng asked the waiter to bring several jars of wine and ordered some snacks to go with them.

After the food and wine were served, Ling Feng picked up his wine bowl and said to Qiao Feng:

"Cheers, brother!"

Qiao Feng also laughed heartily, raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Ling Feng's, then drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Ling Feng also drank it all in one gulp without showing any weakness.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Ling Feng asked Qiao Feng:

"Brother, now that the Beggars' Sect's problems have been resolved, what are your plans next?"

Qiao Feng did not rush to answer. Instead, he raised his wine bowl and drank another bowl before saying with a dejected expression:

"Next, I still plan to go to Shaolin. Although my background is now basically clear, I still want to find out more about it."

Ling Feng nodded in understanding.

He knew Qiao Feng's character well; he wouldn't give up until he got to the bottom of things.

Moreover, this is basically the only path he can take now. If he doesn't investigate his own background, he will live in misery for the rest of his life.

Ling Feng really wanted to tell Qiao Feng the whole truth, but now was clearly not the time.

There are some things that Qiao Feng needs to discover for himself, so that he can better accept reality.

But when Ling Feng thought of Qiao Feng's biological father, Xiao Yuanshan, he felt a headache coming on.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Yuanshan had now become a complete madman.

Not only that, this madman also has a penchant for messing with kids.

Ling Feng suddenly remembered Qiao Feng's adoptive parents, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife. If Qiao Feng continued to follow the original plot, Xiao Yuanshan would definitely take action against them.

Therefore, Ling Feng told Qiao Feng about his concerns with great worry:

"Brother, as I mentioned before, if you decide to investigate your origins, your biological father will definitely target your adoptive parents. You need to be very careful about this."

Ling Feng spoke with such solemnity that Qiao Feng couldn't help but believe him to some extent.

If his adoptive parents were to suffer such a terrible fate because of him, he would be consumed by endless self-blame and remorse.

Qiao Feng was extremely anxious and hurriedly asked Ling Feng:

"Second brother, what do you think I should do? How can we prevent these tragedies from happening?"

Faced with this series of sudden changes, Qiao Feng felt somewhat at a loss, as if he had lost his sense of direction.

Ling Feng pondered for a long time before finally speaking:

“Brother, if you trust me, you may stay here for now, while I will go to your home first.”

"In this way, if that person comes to harm your adoptive parents, I will be able to stop him, and may even capture him directly."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng nodded in agreement without hesitation, but he still felt a little apologetic, worried that it might affect Ling Feng's affairs.

"That's good, but I wonder if it will delay my second brother's affairs?"

Ling Feng smiled slightly and said nonchalantly:

"It's not a big deal. In fact, I didn't have anything particularly important to deal with."

"I came out this time simply because I was bored at home and wanted to relax. Now I can help my older brother, and I can also visit the Shaolin Temple, the holy land of martial arts, which is not bad."

Qiao Feng was relieved to hear Ling Feng say that.

Then, the two discussed the specific details of the operation in detail. It wasn't until nightfall that they settled their bill, left the tavern, and returned to the inn to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and the east began to lighten, Ling Feng had already packed his bags and was ready to embark on his journey to Shaolin.

After all, arriving at Shaolin Temple sooner would ensure the safety of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife as much as possible.

Before leaving, Ling Feng looked at Qiao Feng and said tactfully:

"Brother, I originally planned to take the three of them on a trip around the country."

"However, this trip may cause conflict with your biological father. I am worried that there will be too many people and it will be difficult to take good care of them. Therefore, I would like to ask you to escort Sister Azhu for a while. We can meet at your house then. Is that alright?"

As Ling Feng spoke, he winked gently at A Zhu, who was standing to the side.

Azhu naturally noticed Ling Feng's signal in his eyes, and her pretty face instantly turned bright red, as tempting as a ripe apple.

Qiao Feng was slightly taken aback when he heard Ling Feng's words, and a look of doubt flashed across his face.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at A'Zhu beside him, and just in time caught her blushing, shy and radiant appearance.

Although Qiao Feng was usually generous and forthright, he was not a careless person.

From A Zhu's changing expression and Ling Feng's arrangements, he roughly guessed Ling Feng's true intentions.

However, faced with Ling Feng's good intentions and painstaking efforts, Qiao Feng found it difficult to refuse.

So Qiao Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

“Since my second brother has said so, I will naturally follow his arrangements. Let Miss A’Zhu come with me! We will then go to Shaolin Temple together to meet you.”

Qiao Feng looked at Ling Feng and revealed a determined smile, indicating that he would protect A'Zhu well.

Seeing this, Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction and said:

"That's wonderful! Then I'll trouble you to take care of Sister Azhu, brother."

His gaze fell on Qiao Feng, his eyes filled with trust.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qiao."

A'Zhu smiled slightly and gratefully said to Qiao Feng.

She knew that all of this was specially arranged by Ling Feng, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

At this moment, A'Zhu had not yet developed feelings for Qiao Feng, but the heroic spirit emanating from him deeply attracted her.

Therefore, when Ling Feng wanted to pair them up, she did not show any aversion.

Since he had already decided to temporarily entrust A'Zhu to Qiao Feng's care, Ling Feng didn't say anything more.

He led Wang Yuyan and Zhong Ling on a journey to Shaolin Temple.

After the three of them rode away from Wuxi City, Wang Yuyan finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Ling Feng:

"Brother Feng, why did you leave Sister Azhu alone with Brother Qiao? Is it really dangerous for her to come with us?"

Seeing the confusion on Wang Yuyan's face, Ling Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile as he replied:

"Haha, there's no danger in following us, but I'm sure Sister Azhu would be happy with this arrangement."

Wang Yuyan still looked confused, clearly not understanding. Perhaps it was because she was too naive that she didn't realize it.

"When did Sister Azhu tell you what she meant?"

It was the clever and mischievous Zhong Ling who saw through Wang Yuyan's question first, and then he began to answer it for her.

"Hehe, Sister Yuyan, please stop asking Brother Feng. He's deliberately trying to match Sister Azhu with Brother Qiao."

"Oh, is that so?"

Upon hearing Zhong Ling's words, Wang Yuyan suddenly realized what was going on, but a blush appeared on her face, as this kind of thing was still a bit embarrassing for her.

The three of them then said no more and focused on continuing their journey.

Five days later, the three arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. Following Qiao Feng's directions, they went straight to his house.
