"Good."
Yu Daofen picked up chopsticks from the wooden box and picked up a piece of chicken.
Zhang Xiaoqiang opened two jars of his treasured wine and handed one over. "Have some wine to celebrate."
"Mm."
Yu Daofen took the wine, and they clinked glasses before taking a big gulp.
Zhang Xiaoqiang picked up his chopsticks again, and they began to eat. They clinked glasses and drank from time to time, but both remained silent.
They didn't know what to say; there was nothing left to say.
They could only remain silent, eat with their heads down, and drink from time to time.
At this moment, the two were like strangers. If they weren't eating together, people would surely think they didn't know each other.
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you hear any rumors about the Church of the Divine planning a sneak attack?"
Given Yu Daofen's personality, he wouldn't have come here to guard for no reason.
Yu Daofen took a drink from his wine pot, shook his head, and said, "No, it was just a guess."
"A guess?" Zhang Xiaoqiang was slightly confused.
Yu Daofen nodded and answered truthfully, "Your Yan Shu Sect's Grand Elder is a spy."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang's face immediately darkened. "Has it been confirmed?"
Yu Daofen nodded and offered no further explanation.
"I understand. I'll handle it."
Zhang Xiaoqiang narrowed his eyes, seeming to realize something.
He was certain Yu Daofen wasn't lying; there was no need for him to do so.
The two stopped talking and continued to eat and drink.
The wine was nearly gone, and the dishes were getting cold.
This silent meal was coming to an end.
If they were to drink and eat together like this again, who knew when that would be.
Perhaps they would never have the chance.
After this farewell, they would once again be enemies.
Their encounters would only involve fighting, and such relaxed conversations would be impossible.
"Alright, I should be going now."
Su Lai finished the remaining wine in his pot and stood up to leave.
"Mm."
Yu Daofen merely nodded slightly, saying no more.
Their backs were to each other, and their thoughts were unknown.
In the martial world, one's fate is not their own!
It wasn't Zhang Xiaoqiang's fault, nor Yu Daofen's. It could only be said that fate played tricks on them.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped suddenly, as if thinking of something, and slowly said, "The little girl is quite endearing. Su Qing likes her very much."
"My daughter is cute and sweet-mouthed, so she is indeed endearing," Yu Daofen replied.
This was naturally not a warning from Zhang Xiaoqiang, but a declaration of his stance.
Their grievances were between them alone and had nothing to do with anyone else.
This would never change.
Yu Daofen held the same attitude.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't linger and continued to walk away.
Yu Daofen didn't look back. Instead, he took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag, exhaling slowly.
The sun had completely set, and the sky was gradually darkening.
Yu Daofen looked at the road leading down the mountain. After tonight, the Church of the Divine would not be able to launch a sneak attack again.
And judging by Zhang Xiaoqiang's tone, it seemed only Du Yong had betrayed them, and Yu Daofen had informed him of the news.
How Zhang Xiaoqiang handled it was his business.
However, anyone colluding with the Church of the Divine deserved to be punished. Du Yong would likely not survive. Now, the only question was how many disciples of the Yan Shu Sect had colluded with the Church of the Divine with him. m..oΓg
Time passed, and it was already past midnight.
Yu Daofen leaned against a large tree, took out his phone, and checked the time with a slight surprise.
Could it be that the Church of the Divine didn't intend to seize this opportunity?
Given Shen Fengqing's incredibly arrogant personality, he shouldn't have let this chance slip away.
Just then, Yu Daofen suddenly sensed something, stood up, narrowed his eyes, and looked up the mountain path, smiling. "I thought you weren't coming."
Figures slowly emerged. In the moonlight, their already deathly pale faces appeared somewhat eerie.
Shen Fengqing still wore his arrogant and confident expression and smiled. "It seems you've discovered our mole in the Yan Shu Sect."
Yu Daofen smiled faintly and nodded. "Just discovered recently."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fengqing's face darkened. "You moved your men five kilometers away and are guarding here alone. Do you truly have the confidence to challenge the entire Church of the Divine?"
Yu Daofen chuckled, drew the Kang Long Jian from his waist, and with every word and action filled with arrogance, retorted, "With my current strength, do you think I lack that confidence?"
"You!"
Shen Fengqing's face instantly turned furious, and he reached for the Ming Hong Saber at his waist.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became instantly tense.
Yu Daofen was unfazed and taunted, "You didn't manage to kill that brat Li Tiandao last time. Is he here today?"
Hearing this, Shen Fengqing clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked, while his other hand gripped the hilt of his saber.
The moment he saw Yu Daofen, Shen Fengqing understood that the sneak attack was now impossible.
Five kilometers away, there were three hundred of their men ambushing, and the Yu Daofen before him could not be broken through in a short time.
This plan could now be declared a failure.
Seeing Shen Fengqing's silence, Yu Daofen resumed his mockery. "Although Li Tiandao escaped last time, he must have been seriously injured. Without four to five months, he probably can't serve you."
Hearing this, Shen Fengqing exploded in anger, but reason triumphed over his rage. He let out a long sigh and smiled. "I know you are deliberately provoking me."
Although Shen Fengqing appeared calm on the surface, he felt immense pressure internally.
Yu Daofen was right. Since their last battle, although Li Tiandao had narrowly escaped, he was severely injured and would not be able to recover quickly.
Even though he now had the strength to engage Yu Daofen in a full-blown war, it would be meaningless.
Engaging in a meaningless battle and suffering casualties would be a wrong choice.
He had no reason to go to war with Yu Daofen.
And Yu Daofen's provocation was precisely to force him into a fight.
In this game, he admitted defeat!
Shen Fengqing clenched his fist and admitted, "You win this time."
Yu Daofen was slightly surprised to hear this.
This was not something Shen Fengqing would typically say.
Given his incredibly arrogant personality, he should have fought him.
However, the more he acted this way, the more terrifying this opponent became.
If Shen Fengqing had readily agreed, it would only indicate he was a reckless brute driven by anger, not someone to be feared.
But if he could restrain himself, it meant he was a truly formidable opponent.
Shen Fengqing understood that staying any longer was pointless. He left a parting remark and turned to leave.
"Winning or losing for a moment means nothing. The road is long, and we'll play slowly. We'll see who ultimately triumphs!"
Watching Shen Fengqing's retreating back, Yu Daofen narrowed his eyes.
It seemed he had misjudged him before.
Although this man was arrogant, he was also steady. He would undoubtedly be a great threat in the future.
He absolutely could not let the tiger return to the mountain!
