Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1626 - 1520: Everything Comes Together

"Three of them." The man thought for a moment and responded in a low voice. To live one more day is one more day, right? They should be unaware of the betrayal.

Song Yun smiled and said, "Very good. I’m happy with your answer."

"So can I leave now?" The man raised his head and asked Song Yun.

"No." Song Yun shook his head.

"Why? You promised."

"Did I promise? I most hate cowards who betray others." Song Yun said with an unusual sense of righteousness.

"Lin Yi." Song Yun called out, then turned and left.

Soon, there was the sound of something falling to the ground behind.

Wiping away the mud from his shoes on the roadside grass, and waiting for Lin Yi to finish cleaning up the scene and walk over, Song Yun laughed and said, "Finish up matters here with Lin Er before you leave. Cause some commotion so they stop following me. There are still two batches, get rid of them all."

"Yes, Sect Leader." Lin Yi replied earnestly.

Song Yun patted his shoulder and turned back to head to the airport. Just as he arrived, the announcement was reminding of the last boarding call.

Xiao Qing was also at the boarding gate waiting for Song Yun, excitedly waving when she saw him.

"Alright, let’s go home."

"Hey Brother Song, where are those two people who were with you?" Xiao Qing asked curiously, seeing Song Yun coming alone.

"They remembered something important for the sect and went back to handle it first. They’ll return once finished. Let’s go back to Yanjing first." Song Yun put his arm around Xiao Qing’s shoulders and boarded the plane.

This return trip was uneventful. Upon arriving in Yanjing, some Song Family members were there specifically to pick them up, though Song Yun didn’t want to make a big fuss, opting for simplicity.

Back at the Song Family, Song Yun felt deeply emotional looking at the group of beautiful ladies, determined to protect them at all costs.

He first visited Mr. Song, whose health had slightly improved, though his spirits weren’t too high. Seeing Song Yun back, Mr. Song was thrilled and insisted on playing two games of chess, complaining that his aunt Song Qingyan took Song Yuxue somewhere unknown, even with his grandnephew born, they hadn’t returned.

Song Yun could only smile, as it seemed the aunt had taken his sister to a mysterious place. However, Azure Dragon seemed to have feelings for his aunt, so there was no need to worry about her safety. Azure Dragon might even become his future uncle-in-law, having left the sect’s mess to him; he would certainly report to the aunt when he sees her.

Mr. Song then became somewhat tired, and seeing this, Song Yun withdrew and returned to his room, seeing the ladies admiring Xiao Qing’s cheeks with envy. He couldn’t help but laugh, as he planned to have someone analyze the composition of the First-class Hall’s products and make some replicas to give as gifts to the ladies.

That evening, Song Yun went out to find Black Flood Dragon and also saw the person who had harmed Xiao Qing’s face. Without saying a word, Song Yun waved his hand, and Black Flood Dragon understandingly had the criminal taken away.

Feeling exhausted from the day, Song Yun was having dinner with Black Flood Dragon when his phone rang—Da Xi, that bastard, was calling. Song Yun hadn’t seen him for a long time.

"Hey hey hey, which busy person is calling me now? I didn’t see you, you little bastard, when I returned to the sect before. Not being chased now, are you?" Song Yun laughed.

"Get lost, I’m not as unlucky as you. Let me ask you something, what’s your relationship with Chen Mengjie, that little girl?" Da Xi asked irritably.

"Chen Mengjie? What’s up? Not too deep, but not shallow either," Song Yun asked curiously.

"You know that Marquis, right? The pervert?"

"Of course, he’s the Earl’s half-brother, isn’t he? What’s happened?" Song Yun furrowed his brow and asked.

"Well, the Marquis has taken a liking to Chen Mengjie and announced in all circles his intention to pursue her. But that guy is a pervert, you know, a pervert. If Chen Mengjie is your woman, you’ll have to face off with the Marquis, especially since Chen Mengjie is going to hold a concert in Yanjing, and the Marquis plans to attend."

"Dammit, wasn’t the Marquis supposed to have a preference for men, with his peculiar habits? Now he’s after women?"

"How would I know? You handle it yourself. I’m just reminding you since although your foundation is stable, you still have a lot of issues. You’ve got Song Kunlun eyeing you from the north, and there’s the semi-secluded sect Hong Sect in the south; now possibly adding a Marquis as well. You really should get someone to check if you’re cursed." Da Xi teased on the other end.

"Get lost! Anything else? If not, I’m hanging up. Remember you owe me a bottle of good wine, okay? Next time, bring it yourself, otherwise I’ll find your hideout and raid it," Song Yun said and hung up, falling into deep contemplation.

To be honest, with Chen Mengjie... Song Yun did have some thoughts, but not too deep. But still, as an acquaintance, he couldn’t ignore her plight, yet helping her would just add to his enemies as Da Xi had warned. Da Xi called possibly to advise against entering the fray.

This Marquis is the Earl’s brother, yet known for his brutality. Before, while abroad, he pursued Song Yun himself—yes, exactly, pursued Song Yun. But after Song Yun beat him severely, he gave up. Who knows if seeing Song Yun again will reignite that idea.

He headed back to the Song Family from Black Flood Dragon, troubled with many thoughts, then found the ladies all gathered around playing Mahjong, bringing a smile to his face. Returning home to such a scene made outside troubles seem irrelevant.

"Brother Song Yun~" Li Yueyue saw Song Yun return and came over to wriggle his arm, playfully.

"Speak if you have something."

"You know Chen Mengjie quite well~"

"Hm?" This was the second time today Song Yun heard someone mention Chen Mengjie. "What’s up? Anything wrong?"

"Chen Mengjie is having a concert in Yanjing these days~ so I want to go," Li Yueyue said in a soft, alluring voice.

"...Not that close, just average acquaintances." Song Yun gestured dismissively. If Chen Mengjie sought his help, he’d go, but otherwise, he wouldn’t seek trouble.

"Brother Song Yun, please~" Li Yueyue launched into a coquettish plea.

Song Yun felt a bit overwhelmed, "Yueyue, you see, the concert is in a few days and given Chen Mengjie’s popularity, do you think there would still be idle tickets?"
