"It was stolen?"
After hearing Bai Weiwei's words, Lin Fan instinctively furrowed his brows into two knots!
"Yes! That's why my godfather sent me to find you, asking you to go to Yanjing!" Bai Weiwei said.
Lin Fan pondered for a moment. If it were an ordinary ancient tomb, the Dragon King would have solved it himself long ago. After all, within the country, there's nothing that Longwan can't handle.
Since he sought me out, it seems this ancient tomb is quite extraordinary!
Most importantly, Lin Fan also developed a slight interest in the ancient tomb.
Ancient tombs have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the treasures inside are absolute rarities; it's not hard to find a few items that people would fight over madly.
Lin Fan had to admit he was intrigued!
"Alright then, I'll reluctantly go to Yanjing to see your Dragon King, that old man!" Lin Fan said, pretending to be difficult.
"Hmph! Since you care, why put on airs?" Bai Weiwei muttered in annoyance.
Then, Lin Fan sent a text to Su Yanyu to ask for leave, and Bai Weiwei immediately started the car and left the Yanyu Group heading to the airport!
Upon arriving at the airport, to everyone's surprise, there was a helicopter covered in military green camouflage parked in the airport. Bai Weiwei parked the car in front of the helicopter, and two soldiers in military uniforms immediately jumped down from it.
"Miss Bai!" The two soldiers stood straight and greeted respectfully.
"There's even a helicopter to pick us up. Not bad, not bad. I like this kind of treatment," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"This is specifically to pick me up, what does it have to do with you?"
Bai Weiwei rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, then said to the two soldiers, "It's getting late, let's prepare to set off."
"Understood, Miss Bai." The two soldiers nodded and immediately boarded the helicopter again, while Bai Weiwei followed closely behind.
Lin Fan didn't mind, casually boarding the helicopter.
As for this kind of thing, Lin Fan not only sat in one but had flown them many times before, so there was really nothing novel about it. After getting on the helicopter, he started leaning back in the soft seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Whirl~
Soon, the rotor stirred up a great wind, producing a piercing noise, as the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground and quickly departed from East Sea's airport!
The helicopter's speed was no slower than a commercial plane; Lin Fan took a nap during the flight. When he opened his eyes again, the helicopter had already flown into Yanjing, arriving at the outskirts of Yanjing, at the large Dragon Garden belonging exclusively to the Dragon King!
Outside Dragon Garden, there was a site dedicated to parking helicopters. After the helicopter landed, a military vehicle was waiting below, and Lin Fan and Bai Weiwei got off the helicopter and boarded the military vehicle, which then drove through the forest path leading to Dragon Garden.
Every time Lin Fan came to this forest path, he felt a chilling sensation run through him. Who knows how many snipers and surveillance cameras were hidden in the forest, making one feel exposed, as if one were stark naked with no place to hide from people's eyes.
With such strict security, not even a fly would have any hope of getting through unnoticed!
Upon arriving at Dragon Garden and passing the guards' check at the entrance, Lin Fan and Bai Weiwei walked side by side into the inner courtyard of Dragon Garden!
It had snowed in Yanjing these past few days, and aside from the ground being swept clean, the trees in the courtyard were draped in icicles, the rooftops covered in a layer of white snow, and the plants were wrapped in a blanket of snow, giving a special, picturesque feeling!
The cold wind was still blowing; under the pavilion, old man Ye Shouxin was drinking tea, quite in high spirits!
Ever since being defeated by Lin Kongxian in East Sea, Ye Shouxin hadn't given up in despair but instead grew more ambitious. Although there were one or two red marks on his cheeks, his complexion was good, and his white clothes spotless. If this old man lived deep in the mountains, people would surely mistake him for a deity descended from the heavens.
Now Lin Fan was more familiar with Ye Shouxin since Lin Fan was originally a free-spirited person with no constraints. He walked over, picked up the tea prepared by Ye Shouxin, drank it, smacked his lips, and said, "West Lake Dragon Well tea, not bad, not bad."
"You know tea?" Ye Shouxin looked at Lin Fan with surprise.
"I know a little, but the taste of this West Lake Dragon Well tea is quite distinct, so I'm able to taste it as soon as I drink it!" Lin Fan chuckled slightly.
"Now, there are fewer and fewer young people who can appreciate tea." Ye Shouxin said.
"Thanks, Elder Ye, for the compliment." Lin Fan grinned proudly.
"Is your... mentor still in East Sea?" Ye Shouxin hesitated before asking, lifting the teacup to his lips for a sip, seemingly trying to hide his expression behind it.
"After the fight with Elder Ye, my master went back. I guess he's returned to the mountains playing mahjong with a bunch of old folks now. You see, that old man may appear untainted by worldly affairs, but he's a complete commoner, playing mahjong, pai gow, poker, there isn't a game he can't play." Lin Fan said with a laugh.
"Your mentor is truly a man of experience." Ye Shouxin sighed.
"Someone who's been through it? What does that mean?" Lin Fan asked, full of curiosity.
"He's walked many roads, seen much scenery, met many people, and experienced many things; he has seen through the illusions of the world."
Seeing Lin Fan's understanding was limited, Ye Shouxin added, "You'll understand in time!"
"What is this, all mysterious-like." Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly, poured himself another cup of hot tea, and drank it all in one go. He had to admit, the taste of this tea was delightfully fragrant!
"What are you talking about, seems quite enjoyable."
At this moment, a loud voice came through as Bai Weiwei helped the Dragon King, who was using crutches, step by step into the room.
The Dragon King, living up to his name, was quite formidable. Even with crutches, he exuded an indefinable aura of authority from countless battles, a sense of imposing grandeur!
The Dragon King was robust and masculine, while Ye Shouxin was ethereally refined; it's hard to figure out how these two became brothers, really quite puzzling.
Bai Weiwei helped the Dragon King sit down at the stone table, handing him his crutches, then poured herself a cup of tea, taking a sip while smiling, "I have to say, Shouxin's tea skills have always been my favorite. Kid, what do you think of this tea?"
"It's tolerable." Lin Fan responded indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King indeed chuckled twice.
"Old man, how's your leg? Doing better? You won't be bedridden for life, will you? Ah, what a pity!" Lin Fan said with a face full of regret.
"You bastard! What are you saying? My godfather won't be bedridden forever. One day, my godfather will definitely walk again!"
Bai Weiwei suddenly shouted at Lin Fan in anger, her beautiful eyes welled up with a misty layer of red!
The Dragon King's leg was always a sore spot for Bai Weiwei. As a daughter unable to ease her father's worries, Bai Weiwei felt constant regret!
