Fortunately, Danxia Zi was a pretty good host, and he would come over and accompany Bei Feng from time to time.

As for Ming Shi Li, he missed his son terribly and couldn\'t wait to leave the hall. In addition, the amount of medicinal energy in each dish was too strong. For an ordinary person like him who\'d never come into contact with martial arts, he could not stomach much of the food as well. Thus, after exchanging some pleasantries with Danxia Zi, he quickly left the hall.

"Son, is it tiring on the mountain? Did anyone bully you?"

Ming Shi Li spotted Ming Ze who was busy sweeping the grounds, immediately after walking out of the hall. After speaking with another middle-aged Daoist, Ming Ze put away his broom and walked over. Seeing Ming Ze after such a long time, there were many things that Ming Shi Li wanted to say. However, he only managed to utter two sentences in the end.

"No, the senior brothers treat me really well."

Ming Ze wiped the perspiration off his forehead and replied lightly. This father of his still felt a little foreign to him. After all, he only saw him a few times a year.

"It\'s good if there\'s nothing wrong. Two more years and after your body\'s completely recovered, father will bring you home."

Ming Shi Li felt his heart aching and his nose turned a little sour.

The father and son duo sat down on a bench under a tree and chatted about their lives. Mostly, it was Ming Ze chattering away while Ming Shi Li listened attentively. He would only open his mouth from time.

"Governor, so it turns out that you\'re sitting out here... I\'ve finally found you! Those people are really crass to start eating without waiting for you."

Su Lin ran over, huffing and puffing, sounding quite unhappy as he complained about the people in the hall. At the same time, he was hoping to kiss up to Ming Shi Li. Of course, the young Daoist beside him was completely ignored.

The fact that Ming Shi Li hated drug dealers was a fact that everyone knew about. But another thing he was well known for was that he liked to walk around and get to know the commoners.

Ming Shi Li frowned lightly as he watched Su Lin approach. Was this person blind? Didn\'t he see him chatting with his son?

Actually, he\'d wronged Su Lin slightly. Who would be able to guess that the son of a lofty Province Governor would actually be a monk on Mount Longhu?!

"Don\'t worry, I\'ve already eaten. If there\'s nothing else, you can go and enjoy yourself," Ming Shi Li reined in his annoyance and said. His meaning was simple. Don\'t disturb me if there\'s nothing important!

"Eh?! Governor, you need to stay away from that little Daoist! That fellow likes to beat people up; even I\'ve been hit by him before!"

Su Bai who was following behind gasped aloud and rubbed his eyes with disbelief as soon as he saw the young Daoist. His gaze grew so ferocious it was like he would spout fire from his eyes at any moment. Even the swell on his face which had recovered a little began to throb with pain again.

"Barren mountains and unruly waters indeed abound with bandits. Dad, the wound on my face was caused by this little Daoist!"

Su Bai pointed at the swell on his face with an aggrieved tone.

If this sentence were to spread outside, it would certainly cause a large number of people to laugh themselves to death. The Mount Longhu which was described as having waters as clear as jade and where tigers and dragons dwell; a land of fortune and blessings; the natural land for immortals... was actually being referred to as \'barren mountains and unruly waters!\'

"Is there a misunderstanding here?"

Ming Shi Li\'s face darkened. His son had an extremely mild character, and it was already good that he wasn\'t bullied by others. How was it possible that he would hit someone first?

"It was definitely this little bastard who hit me! Actually claiming to be a peaceful Daoist, he does not place things like rules in his eyes at all! In my opinion, this little bastard should be be thrown into the juvenile detention center!"

Su Lin\'s attention was placed on his son, so how would he notice the stormy expression on Ming Shi Li\'s face? Hearing Su Bai calling his son a little bastard with every sentence, what did he take him for?!

"Little fellow, have you forgotten what I taught you already?"

Before Ming Shi Li could blow his top, a light voice similar to that of a persistent ghost\'s drifted over from behind him, right into the ears of Ming Ze.

Ming Shi Li turned around to see a white-clad youth stepping through the snow towards them. With just a couple steps, he had already arrived beside them, stroking the head of Daoist Ming Ze. "Kind people are easily bullied, just like how heavy loads are loaded onto a willing horse. Every time you meet people like them who keep trying to climb over your head, there\'s no need to waste words on them. Just beat them up first."

The white-clad youth was naturally Bei Feng. He\'d come out for a stroll, and was lucky enough to bump into the current situation.

"Virtuous Sir!"

The young Daoist was actually quite happy to see Bei Feng. After taking the advice, he did not hesitate any further. Kicking firmly against the ground, he leapt up like a tiger and arrived before Su Bai in an instant. Su Bai was at the climax of his scolding when he saw a small fist appear before his eyes.

"AH!"

The same fist, with the same strength, landing on the exact same area. With just a single fist, Su Bai was sent tumbling to the ground by the young Daoist in a manner similar to the last time. This time however, he opened his mouth and spat out pieces of a few blood-stained teeth.

Su Bai felt like his mouth had become a lot more airy all of a sudden, causing him to scramble up in a hurry to hide behind Su Lin.

Ming Shi Li felt rather conflicted in his heart. Although he had just witnessed his child assaulting someone else, he did not feel angry at all. That was such a well-deserved beating!

But what made him feel the most depressed was that his own kid\'s eyes had lighted up on seeing Bei Feng, as if he\'d just saw his backing. This was like how a schoolboy would look if he was fighting against another child, and his dad showed up.

Then, the reliable dad would tell him not to worry, to hit whoever dares to bully him. Do not fear, for your father has your back!

"Dad, you saw it for yourself! This little bastard is completely lawless! He even dares to hit people in front of you and the governor!" Su Bai looked like he was going crazy as he shouted.

"Continue beating."

Bei Feng\'s expression was as calm as a still pond. There wasn\'t even the slightest ripple on his face as he egged the boy on.

"I shall see who dares!"

Su Lin stood out and pointed at Bei Feng fiercely. "You are actually instigating an under-aged youth to commit assault? Do you believe that I won\'t drag you to the police station for this?!"

"Little fellow, continue doing your thing. If he dares to block your way, beat him up as well."

Bei Feng smirked. If it was in the past, he might have felt some apprehension with regard to the law. But at this point, the number of people he\'d killed with his own hands was quite plentiful too. His will and determination had become as steady as a boulder.

"Stop right now! I\'m the vice mayor of Lingxi City! The entire Lingxi City is under my jurisdiction. Mere commoners like you dare to behave so lawlessly? Are you trying to assault a government official?!

Jiangbei\'s Governor is also sitting over there. Are you still going to behave in such an unrestrained manner?!"

One had to admit that Su Lin\'s mouth was truly powerful. It was little wonder that he was sent to escort Ming Shi Li.

Hearing the two words Jiangbei Governor, Bei Feng\'s eyebrows lifted slightly with surprise. Thereafter, a playful smile appeared on his face. It looks like there\'ll be a good show to watch this time.

\'If I hadn\'t remembered wrongly, this child previously said that his father is the Province Governor. Interesting!\'

Bei Feng felt a sudden urge to burst out with laughter. Wanting to teach a lesson to the boy in front of his father, even using their official post as a way to suppress and threaten others. Finally, they even managed to drag the boy\'s father into the picture forcefully.

Seeing that the two had become quiet all of a sudden, Su Lin became even more smug. Those two were obviously frightened. From his perspective, the mere presence of a vice mayor and province governor was already more than enough to suppress these two hooligans.

"I wonder what kind of a father raised this sort of child! How can someone be allowed to pick up such violent tendencies at such a young age?"

Su Lin smiled smugly as he puffed his chest out.

"It\'s me!" Ming Shi Li whose face was as black as the bottom of a wok stood up and growled.

"Governor, what did you say?"

Su Lin had also just reached the climax of his righteous speech when he was cut off.

"I said that the father of this child is me!"

Ming Shi Li stood forward and enunciated word by word.

"AHH?!"

Su Lin gasped aloud as he took one step back. He hadn\'t noticed it before, but now that he looked at them, he felt that Ming Shi Li and the young monk truly looked quite alike.

"How can this be?! That little bastard was actually telling the truth?!"

Su Bai felt like he was about to faint on the spot. A situation like this... how was this comparable to kicking into a steel plate? This was them using their necks to strike against a knife\'s edge!
