Qin Feng chuckled. "They've miscalculated. I have absolutely no interest in the position of Dragon Commander!"

Yun Qing looked at Qin Feng with some surprise. "That's someone second only to the emperor, wielding immense power. You really have absolutely no interest?"

Qin Feng shook his head. "My joining Longyuan is just a temporary measure; I will leave Longyuan sooner or later."

If joining Longyuan wouldn't have made things much easier, why would he have added another layer of constraint to himself?

Yun Qing nodded. "It's best if you think that way!"

"Joining Longyuan will bring many privileges, but it will also bring many restrictions."

"Xiao Feng, if possible, I would still like you to visit your grandmother at the Cloud Palace headquarters."

"She was unaware of your existence until recently, after which she fell ill and never recovered."

"We consulted many renowned doctors, but they were all helpless, saying it was a mental illness and that medicine was ineffective."

"When I came to see you, she had already fallen into a deep sleep, and I don't know if she will ever wake up?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly. "Let's talk about it when I have time!"

Yun Qing opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

Yun Xin'er frowned slightly. "Brother, if Grandma hadn't been unwell, she would have come to see you a few days ago!"

"Grandma is different from Grandpa; she just really wants to see you, her grandson!"

Qin Feng said calmly, "We'll talk about it later!"

He longs for family affection, but it's not something he absolutely needs.

Even if his maternal grandmother was really different from Yun Canghai, his maternal grandfather, she was someone he could do without.

After all, more than twenty years have passed, and neither Yun Canghai nor his maternal grandmother has ever looked for his mother.

If he hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere a while ago, he probably would never have known that his maternal grandparents were still alive.

So it's not that he's cold-blooded, but that his heart is completely cold.

Yun Xin'er wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yun Qing's gaze.

After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Qin Feng picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.

The three of them remained silent until the end of the meal.

After paying the bill and leaving the restaurant, Qin Feng hailed a taxi and said goodbye.

Yun Xin'er wanted to follow, but Yun Qing held her back.

Watching Qin Feng's taxi drive away, Yun Xin'er asked with a puzzled look, "Dad, why did you pull me along?"

Yun Qing sighed helplessly. "Your constant following him will only make him resentful!"

"Go see him again after some time!"

"We'll see if we can take him back to see your grandma."

Yun Xin'er nodded. "Alright!"

...

Ling Xueyan lives in Qilin Garden, a high-end villa area.

Qin Feng took a taxi and got off near Qilin Garden. Then he flew on his sword to the sky above the villa where Ling Xueyan lived.

Ling Xueyan is the only daughter of the eldest branch of the Ling family in Shanghai and currently serves as the president of the Ling Group.

Qin Feng released his divine sense to search around the Ling family villa and discovered three Heavenly Realm martial artists in a villa not far away.

Two were at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, and one was at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm; all were large men around forty or fifty years old.

These three are all elders of Longyuan.

Subsequently, Qin Feng used his divine sense to investigate inside the Ling family villa, where he found Ling Xueyan taking a bath.

Although Qin Feng knew he shouldn't spy, he ultimately didn't withdraw his divine sense.

Ling Xueyan has such a great figure; it's no exaggeration to say that she's the best among all the women he knows.

It's fine if it has a good shape, but the key is that the big parts should be big and the small parts should be small.

It's like a meticulously crafted work of art, without a single flaw.

After watching for a while, Qin Feng suddenly felt thirsty, so he directly controlled the Dragon Cloud Sword to land outside the villa where the three elders of Long Yuan lived.

He rang the doorbell, and soon one of the men, a burly man with a square face, opened the door.

Upon seeing Qin Feng, the square-faced man immediately recognized him as the newly appointed First Deputy Commander of Longyuan.

However, he was very indifferent and turned to walk into the villa without saying a word.

Clearly, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Feng, who was the first deputy commander.

Because apart from Qinghe, Xiaoyu, and Longshuai, almost no one in the entire Longyuan knew Qin Feng's true strength.

Perhaps it's not just the square-faced, burly man who's dissatisfied; probably many members of the Dragon Abyss are also dissatisfied.

Qin Feng didn't pay any attention and simply followed them into the villa.

The two middle-aged men sitting in the living room immediately stood up to greet Qin Feng when he entered.

"Eighth Elder Mo Xuan (Ninth Elder Leng Ji) of Longyuan greets Commander Qin!"

Qin Feng nodded, then said directly, "You can leave now!"

Mo Xuan said, "Commander Qin, we can't leave!"

"Commander Long personally ordered us to stay in Shanghai and be at your command."

The square-faced man chuckled. "Commander Qin, don't be so arrogant!"

"Last night, the Elders' Council lost one member and seriously wounded four others!"

Qin Feng looked at the square-faced, burly man. "Who are you?"

The square-faced, burly man curled his lip. "Seventh Elder Ning He!"

Qin Feng smiled enigmatically. "Seventh Elder, who gave you the audacity to question me?"

The square-faced man sneered. "What? You can't even question me?"

"Do you think you're Commander Long, trying to run a one-man show?"

Do you have the qualifications?

"Which of our brothers in the Elder Council hasn't shed blood and rendered meritorious service for Longyuan?"

"You, a scrawny young man who popped out of who-knows-where, have become the first deputy commander-in-chief. Who do you think will respect you?"

"If you want me to submit to you, then show me your absolute strength and crush me, so that I am truly convinced!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for not cooperating with you!"

Qin Feng grinned. "If you're not happy, then get lost!"

"I don't need anyone who disagrees with me!"

"Eighth Elder, Ninth Elder, if you are not convinced, I can leave as well."

"If Commander Long blames you, I'll take the blame for you."

Mo Xuan and Leng Ji exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Commander Qin, then we'll be off!"

Like Leng Ji, Mo Xuan also did not approve of Qin Feng as the first deputy commander, but they just didn't say it out loud.

Ning He snorted coldly. "Where are you going?"

"Leaving like this is irresponsible towards Ling Xueyan's safety!"

"If something happens to Ling Xueyan and Commander Long blames her, do you really think this young punk will take all the responsibility?"

Mo Xuan and Leng Ji frowned slightly; Ning He's words made sense.

They were all very uncomfortable about having to stay and let Qin Feng take the lead.

While the two hesitated, Qin Feng spoke up. "I'll call Commander Long right now and explain things clearly!"

Immediately, Qin Feng took out his phone and called Xiao Yu.

He didn't have Long Shuai's contact information, so he could only ask Xiao Yu to pass on the message.

Mo Xuan and Leng Ji exchanged a glance and both frowned.

They were all worried that Qin Feng would report them to Commander Long, and then Commander Long would definitely hold them accountable.

Ning He chuckled mockingly. "Heh, looks like all you do is tattle!"

"Despicable behavior, something that cannot be brought to the table."
