The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if a single wrong word would lead to a fight!
Quan Mingxu had to step forward again to mediate: "Gentlemen, please calm yourselves. This is my fault. I was inconsiderate and did not consult Mr. Xiao beforehand. Otherwise, no one would be unhappy!"
Wu Gaozhuo grunted in a deep voice, "Mingxu, you don't need to blame yourself. This matter is not your fault. If you ask me, it's because this kid is too arrogant!"
As he spoke, Wu Gaozhuo stood up, crossed his arms, and pointed at Xiao Yunlong: "Let me tell you, kid, I've been on business trips recently, looking for a better martial arts instructor. If Quan Mingxu hadn't called me, I wouldn't have returned so soon!"
The deputy instructor, Ma Minfei, also snorted coldly, "What an ignorant kid who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! If it weren't for my old age and my injury, this martial arts instructor position would have been decided long ago. We originally intended to give you a chance out of respect for Quan Mingxu, but who knew you would be so ungrateful!"
"Forget it, forget it. I truly don't fancy this kind of self-important and arrogant ignorant kid. You guys can get lost!"
Wu Gaozhuo placed one hand on his hip and waved the other repeatedly, his face filled with contempt and mockery.
Xiao Yunlong couldn't help but smile. He never expected that he, the dignified King of Zhenbei in the Dragon Kingdom, would be ridiculed by a mere captain of the city defense department.
"So you were on business trips recently, no wonder you didn't know about my existence. Since that's the case, I can't be bothered to argue with trash like you!"
Xiao Yunlong sneered faintly and turned to leave.
Wu Gaozhuo, however, became angry and shouted, "Stop right there! What did you say, kid? You can't be bothered to argue with trash like me? You damn it... do you even understand the situation? It's me who can't be bothered with you. From your tone, it seems like we have to fight!"
"Captain, why don't you let me handle it and teach this brat a lesson, so he knows what a true master is!" Ma Minfei grinned coldly.
"Alright, you go ahead. Break his teeth and cripple one of his hands as a lesson!" Wu Gaozhuo said in a deep, cold voice, then sat back down in his chair.
Ma Minfei clenched his fists and slowly walked towards Xiao Yunlong, sneering with disdain, "A kid who hasn't even grown all his hair dares to be so arrogant, claiming to be a master. I'll let you have one hand today, but you still won't be my opponent!"
"Trash like you, a mere ant, doesn't even have the right to fight me!"
Xiao Yunlong sneered and turned to look at Jun Bufan, "Bufan, you go and break both of his dog legs!"
"Yes, Big Brother!" Jun Bufan responded loudly and stepped forward.
"Good kid, it seems you've become so arrogant that you're beyond the law. Fine, I'll cripple this kid first, and then I'll settle the score with you, Xiao!"
Deputy instructor Ma Minfei roared, stomped his foot, and surged forward like a raging storm.
In fact, Xiao Yunlong had already seen that Ma Minfei was at the half-step Huajin Grandmaster level. As the deputy instructor of martial arts for the city defense department, he did have some skill, but not much, and was far from being a match for Xiao Yunlong.
In fact, not to mention comparing with Xiao Yunlong's level, even compared to the current Jun Bufan, Ma Minfei was inferior. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yunlong had asked Jun Bufan to fight.
Jun Bufan was also not weak. As a true Huajin Grandmaster, he unleashed his aura and attacked with the Bagua Swimming Dragon Palm.
The two immediately engaged in combat. The room was filled with booming sounds. Fortunately, the room was large enough, otherwise, they would not have been able to move freely.
At first, Wu Gaozhuo, seated in his chair, still had a look of disdain and contempt on his face. But soon, his expression changed. It went from disbelief to a gradual darkening of his mood.
In fact, if it weren't for Ma Minfei's rich combat experience, with Jun Bufan's true Huajin Grandmaster martial arts cultivation, he would have already defeated him.
After all, Jun Bufan was still young, while Ma Minfei was already forty or fifty years old, a difference of more than half a generation. However, Jun Bufan quickly figured out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and after only a few exchanges, he gradually gained the upper hand, eventually suppressing the opponent to the point where he had no power to fight back.
Finally, with a bang, Ma Minfei was sent flying by Jun Bufan's palm and fell heavily to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"This..." Wu Gaozhuo, as the captain, could no longer sit still. He shot up from his chair, his face filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? Deputy Instructor Ma, you actually lost to this brat who hasn't even grown all his hair!" Wu Gaozhuo roared.
Ma Minfei swallowed, suppressing the restless energy within him, and then said, "Captain Wu, we both misjudged him earlier. This kid, he's actually... he's actually a Huajin Grandmaster expert!"
"What did you say? He's a Huajin Grandmaster? Him?" Wu Gaozhuo's eyes widened.
Jun Bufan walked step by step towards Ma Minfei.
"Kid, what else do you want?" Ma Minfei shouted coldly, but his eyes were already flashing with fear, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.
"My Big Brother said he wants to cripple your dog legs. What do you think I want?" Jun Bufan said, raising his right foot, preparing to break the opponent's leg.
"You dare, kid... Don't blame me for warning you, he is the deputy instructor of martial arts for the Su City Defense Department, and I am the captain of the Defense Department. If you dare to lay a hand on him, it will be a heinous crime. Not only you and this Xiao fellow, but even your families will be in great trouble!"
Wu Gaozhuo roared coldly, gritting his teeth, "I, the captain, now order you to quickly..."
However, before he could finish, Jun Bufan instantly kicked out two lightning-fast kicks, directly breaking Ma Minfei's legs.
Then Jun Bufan turned and looked at Wu Gaozhuo, "So what if you're the captain of the Defense Department? My Big Brother said he wants to cripple his dog legs, and he will. As for you, you're nothing in front of my Big Brother!"
"You... good, good, you two are truly remarkable. You really are fearless young calves!"
Wu Gaozhuo trembled with anger, his face even turning purple.
However, even though he clenched his fists, he dared not make a move. Firstly, even Ma Minfei, the deputy instructor of martial arts, had lost, so he was even less capable. Secondly, he hadn't expected the situation to develop like this today, so he had only brought three personal guards.
Even with these three guards behind him, Wu Gaozhuo still didn't dare to act rashly, because he truly couldn't gauge the depth of this Xiao fellow.
Now, Wu Gaozhuo was finally beginning to believe his good friend Quan Mingxu's words. This Xiao Yunlong seemed truly extraordinary, especially since even a Huajin Grandmaster was willing to be his subordinate. How could such a person be ordinary?
"Xiao, I miscalculated today. I admit you have some skills, but let me tell you, I am the captain of the Su City Defense Department, and our Defense Department is definitely not as simple as you think. Even if you have some skills, you're nothing among the many experts in the Defense Department. So there's no need for you to be smug! We'll see!"
Wu Gaozhuo dropped his words, flicked his hand, and was about to leave.
"Stop, did I let you go?" Xiao Yunlong said coldly.
Wu Gaozhuo stopped abruptly. If one looked closely at this moment, it wouldn't be hard to notice that his legs were already trembling slightly.
"Xiao, what else do you want? Do you really dare to touch me?" Wu Gaozhuo bluffed, forcing himself to speak menacingly.
Xiao Yunlong glanced at him and sneered, "You're already trembling with fear, yet you're still making threats. It seems this is all the capability you have as a captain of the Defense Department!"
Speaking of which, Xiao Yunlong shrugged, and then added, "Speaking of which, I've been in Su City for a while, but I haven't been to the Defense Department. Since you say there are many experts there, and I happen to have free time today, I'll go and meet them!"
"What did you say? You're going to the Defense Department? Did I hear you correctly?" Wu Gaozhuo asked, his eyes wide. He almost couldn't believe his eyes. This kid was actually going to the Defense Department voluntarily, wasn't that like walking into a trap?
"You heard correctly. Now get lost, go back and gather all those so-called experts from the Defense Department you mentioned, and await my arrival!" Xiao Yunlong said.
Wu Gaozhuo stared at Xiao Yunlong for a long time, confirming he wasn't joking, then gritted his teeth, "Fine, it seems you intend to challenge the department. You're truly bold. Since that's the case, I'll be waiting for you at the Defense Department. I hope you won't be a coward then!"
After saying that, Wu Gaozhuo strode away, followed by another attendant guard helping the deputy instructor Ma Minfei.
Only after Wu Gaozhuo and his group had completely left did Quan Mingxu, who had been in a daze, quickly come over and say, "Mr. Xiao, I am truly sorry this time. Due to my oversight, it has caused such unpleasantness between both parties. I sincerely apologize to you here!"
Xiao Yunlong waved his hand, "This is not your fault. You had good intentions. However, there is one thing you didn't say incorrectly, and that is not consulting me beforehand. Perhaps in your eyes, the martial arts instructor of the Defense Department is already very formidable, but to me, it's not worth mentioning!"
"Yes, yes, this is indeed my fault!"
Quan Mingxu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Xiao, it's already noon. I don't think there's any need to go to the Defense Department now. How about this, I'll host a banquet for you all as a small compensation for my mistake."
Xiao Yunlong waved his hand again and said teasingly, "You don't want me to go to the Defense Department. Are you worried I can't defeat those so-called experts from the Defense Department? Or are you worried I'll cripple your captain brother?"
Quan Mingxu shook his head with a wry smile, "Mr. Xiao, you're really joking. In fact, neither of these outcomes is what I wish to see. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve disputes than to create them. If..."
"Alright, you're a good person. Let's have dinner together another day if there's a chance. Goodbye!" Xiao Yunlong interrupted him, then took Liu Ruyan's hand and left, with Jun Bufan following closely behind.
Quan Mingxu stood there stunned, a look of helplessness on his face. In fact, he could see that he hadn't even caught Mr. Xiao's eye, or rather, his social standing was too low, and they were simply not on the same level.
After all, his subordinate was a Huajin Grandmaster expert. Let alone making friends with him, he wasn't even qualified to make friends with his subordinate.
"It seems that Mr. Xiao's identity is likely of great origin," Quan Mingxu said with great bitterness.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yunlong and his group had arrived at the garage. Jun Bufan asked, "Big Brother, where are we going next? Are we really going to the Defense Department?"
"Of course, directly to the Defense Department. By the way, Bufan, do you have Liang Minghui's phone number?" Xiao Yunlong asked as he got into the car.
"Big Brother, you mean the Director of the Defense Department? I don't have that, but I have contact information for someone working in the Defense Department. He's my relative." Jun Bufan said.
"Then call him now and have him contact Liang Minghui. Tell him that I, Xiao Yunlong, am planning to visit the Defense Department and ask them to prepare lunch!"
Xiao Yunlong said calmly.
Jun Bufan was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly recovered. After all, his Big Brother, by simply showing his token, could scare the Director of the Salt City Defense Department to death. Asking the Su City Defense Department to prepare lunch should be no problem.
"Yes, Big Brother, I'll contact him now!" Jun Bufan then took out his phone.
