Xiao Yufan recounted everything about the Azure Dragon to Xiao Dao and the others. Their eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. To receive such high praise from Xiao Yufan, the Azure Dragon must undoubtedly be an extraordinary expert.
“Why don’t I handle it then? If we need to send someone else to deal with him, won’t that lower our status a bit?”
Nodding slightly at Xiao Yufan, Nie Xiaodao muttered discontentedly. It wasn’t so much about supporting Xiao Yufan as it was about the Azure Dragon’s strength stirring up his fighting spirit.
“I know exactly what you’re thinking just by looking at your posture. Behave yourself! There will be chances for you to spar with him later. Right now, you definitely can’t beat him. The Azure Dragon’s strength surpasses yours by a level…”
Xiao Yufan naturally understood Nie Xiaodao well. This martial arts fanatic constantly challenged Wang Wei and Tianyi, who had grown weary of his persistence. Although they had once teamed up to defeat him soundly, he actually enjoyed being pushed to his limits.
“If he’s stronger than Xiao Dao by a level, it seems Chen Jiamin came well-prepared. This Azure Dragon is indeed a major threat…”
Tianyi furrowed his brows. Although he could usually gain the upper hand against Nie Xiaodao, the difference between them was minimal. If this Azure Dragon was even stronger than him by a level, his strength might rival that of Long Tian and Tianxuan.
“That’s not necessarily true. I’m sure the Azure Dragon didn’t come looking for me because of that Chen Jiamin. A powerful figure like him won’t be controlled by just anyone. Therefore, Chen Jiamin isn’t someone to fear.”
Shaking his head, Xiao Yufan recalled the Azure Dragon’s words and smiled slightly.
“So, did the Young Master agree to his request directly?”
“Do you think I’d do something that brings no benefits? If I win, he will stay in Linjiang for three years. That would be a certain advantage for the Dark Gate!”
In response to Wang Wei’s question, Xiao Yufan didn’t hide his thoughts. If he wasn’t mistaken, Xiao Dao and the others probably hoped for another sparring partner. As expected, Nie Xiaodao’s eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.
“By the way, how are things going in Dongling…”
Xiao Yufan wasn’t particularly worried about facing the Azure Dragon. If the Azure Dragon didn’t wish to join the Dark Gate, he would merely feel a little regretful.
“Young Master should remember that person from Yuan Gang who appeared at Lei Gang last time. Yuan Gang has already set its sights on Dongling. They probably don’t want the Dark Gate making such big moves!”
“Let them set their sights on it. Even if they do, we’ll see whether they have the capability to swallow Dongling in one go. The Yuan Gang in the north—we will inevitably clash with them sooner or later!”
A rare trace of coldness flickered across his face. The Northern Yuan Gang and the Southern Hong Gate—neither was a soft target. But if Xiao Yufan wanted to establish an underground empire, conflict with them was unavoidable. So, sooner or later, it would come to the same end.
“I’ll have the brothers in the Dark Gate keep an eye out. Lei Gang is now completely under the Dark Gate’s control. Even if Yuan Gang attempts to stir up trouble, it won’t be easy for them.”
Most of the affairs in Dongling were handled by Wang Wei, who had absolute confidence in Lei Gang. It was a completely loyal ally, one that would never betray its master. The Dark Gate needed people like this.
“If Yuan Gang dares to make a move, don’t hold back at all. The entire north isn’t theirs to control. If they provoke me, I won’t mind leading the Dark Gate northward and storming Yuan Gang’s headquarters!”
Generally speaking, the Dark Gate and Yuan Gang had remained peaceful towards each other so far, so Xiao Yufan wasn’t particularly worried. However, if Yuan Gang decided to act, Xiao Yufan naturally wouldn’t back down…
