Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 1052 1028: The Seal Grows Weaker

"You're running all over the place. What, kid, you planning to tag along with me too?"

Cyan Dragon gave an awkward laugh. "No, senior, I've got something I need to talk about."

"No problem, just say it. Anyway, whatever it is, I'm not going to help."

Han Buyan bluntly shut him down and went back to eating meat.

"Old Han, don't kill the mood. Whatever it is, talk about it later." Xia Yunlong said with a cheerful smile from the side.

"It's fine, it's fine." Cyan Dragon said with a smile as well. He'd long since gotten used to Han Buyan's temperament and didn't take it to heart.

The New Year's Eve dinner passed in a chorus of laughter, and then they all sat together watching TV. Ren Feng was just there to soak in the lively atmosphere.

"Oh, this magic act is great."

"The skits are the best part."

Jokes and laughter filled the room, and as it got close to midnight, the deafening crackle of firecrackers sounded outside.

The New Year was almost here.

"Alright, let us old folks keep watch for the year. You kids go sleep." Xia Yunlong said with a smile.

Ren Feng said, "I should do it. You're getting on in years, you might not be able to stay up."

"It's fine, I'll have Mr. Yun and the others take my place."

Since he'd said so, Ren Feng couldn't insist. After a few more words, he went upstairs with Xia Wenxue. Just as they reached the upper floor, they heard Xia Yunlong down below call out, "Ren Feng, put in some effort and give me a great-grandson as soon as possible."

The corner of Ren Feng's mouth twitched, and he almost stumbled on the stairs.

Xia Wenxue, cheeks flushed, helped him upstairs. Once they finally reached the bedroom, Ren Feng's hands immediately roamed over her body.

"Grandpa told us to put in the effort."

In just a moment, Ren Feng had stripped Xia Wenxue's clothes off. The two of them clung tightly together on the bed, and to the chorus of firecrackers outside, they once again joined as one.

On the other side, Han Buyan had also gone back to his room.

"Alright, come in. Don't stand outside peeking."

Han Buyan stood with his hands behind his back, not even bothering to close the door. After a moment, with a creak, the door was pushed open and Cyan Dragon walked in.

"What do you need from me?"

Cyan Dragon's expression turned solemn. "Senior, the seal on the East Sea forbidden land has loosened."

"The seal has loosened?"

Han Buyan's face also grew extremely serious. A terrifying sharp light flashed in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant and he returned to normal.

"That's right. After scouting, it's been confirmed. Right now, the Kunlun Sacred Domain, the Dragon Domain, and several other domains have all sent people, and they're in discussion, preparing to join forces and reseal it."

Cyan Dragon's face was utterly solemn. "This time the seal has loosened, but thankfully we just discovered it. We're still in time to seal it again. However, Mr. Han, to carry out the sealing, we need people with extremely strong cultivation to serve as formation cores, so…"

"So you came to me." Han Buyan finished for him.

"Ah, yes. After all, Senior, your strength is unfathomable. The top experts of the Kunlun Sacred Domain are at best only on par with you."

"That flattery has some depth to it." Han Buyan looked at Cyan Dragon with a half-smile.

Cyan Dragon's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Alright, this is indeed a big deal. I'll make a trip with you."

"Many thanks, Mr. Han." Cyan Dragon cupped his fists.

...

Time always flies during the New Year. These days, Ren Feng and the Xia Family had been enjoying a warm, happy time together, and in the blink of an eye, five more days had passed.

The New Year atmosphere was fading. In a few days, Ren Feng and the others would be heading back to Jiangnan City, and Jiang Xiangwen and the rest also had things to do and would be leaving then. So they suggested that everyone get together one more time.

Ren Feng naturally agreed readily to this. That evening, he drove, bringing Xia Wenxue and Liang Keqing, to the most famous bar in Suhang.

After going in and stating their purpose, a waiter was already waiting at the door and led them into a private room.

"Hey, Mr. Ren and Wenxue are here." Jiang Xiangwen stood up with a smile. Cheng Fei and Jiang Moshu were there as well.

"And Miss Keqing, you actually forgot about her. You should be punished for that." Cheng Fei also said with a grin.

"Right, right, I'll punish myself with three drinks in a bit."

"Mr. Jiang, you're too polite." Ren Feng sat down with a smile, and Liang Keqing and Xia Wenxue did the same.

There was a hint of ambiguity in the way Jiang Moshu looked at Ren Feng, but she hid it very well.

"In a few more days, the New Year will be over. Then we'll be going our separate ways again, so this time we're getting together. Who knows, maybe the next time we meet will be next New Year." Jiang Xiangwen said with a smile.

"Enough talk, let's have one first." Cheng Fei raised his glass.

Xia Wenxue and the others also raised their glasses, laughing as they clinked them together.

"Cheers."

Everyone drained a glass, set their cups down, and Jiang Xiangwen asked with a smile, "Mr. Ren, where are you planning to go after the New Year?"

"I'm naturally going back to Jiangnan City." Ren Feng said with a smile. "Wherever Xue'xue goes, I go."

"Hey, now that's a nice line. Wenxue must love hearing that, right, Wenxue?" Jiang Xiangwen looked over at Xia Wenxue with a grin.

"Of course I love hearing it. I love everything he says." Xia Wenxue, sitting beside Ren Feng, answered with a smile.

"Look at that, Wenxue's protecting Mr. Ren so much it makes me jealous. Makes me want to get out of the single life already." Cheng Fei laughed loudly.

Liang Keqing and Jiang Moshu were both very perceptive. They knew that in this kind of setting, the men naturally took the lead in the conversation, and if it wasn't their turn, there was no need for them to speak.

"Mr. Cheng, what are you talking about? As long as you're willing, aren't the women of Suhang lining up, waiting to throw themselves into your arms?"

"Don't make fun of me. Only the elegant and suave Mr. Jiang deserves words like that." Cheng Fei laughed heartily as well.

The three of them chatted for a bit, and then the topic turned to serious matters.

"In a few more days, I'll be leaving Suhang."

"Where are you going?"

"The situation in Suhang has stabilized, but our Jiang Family still needs to grow. We can only expand beyond Suhang now." Jiang Xiangwen said with a small smile. "The old man is planning to send me to the Guangdong and Guangxi region to open up some trade routes and sell our Jiang Family silk."

"That counts as training for you. You'll be the one in charge of the Jiang Family in the future." Cheng Fei said with a laugh as well.

"What about you?" Jiang Xiangwen asked.

"I'm leaving too. My grandpa plans to expand the Cheng Family's influence northward."

"So you're heading north?"

"No, I'm planning to go study abroad." Cheng Fei smiled. "I don't know enough about economics. My grandpa doesn't feel safe handing things over to me yet."

"Further studies are a good thing." Jiang Xiangwen said with a smile, then turned his gaze to Ren Feng, who was sitting there with a glass of wine and a relaxed smile.

"Mr. Ren, you're not being very fair. We've all said our plans, but you still haven't told us where you're going. Don't tell me you're really going to stay in Jiangnan City all year?"

"I'm going to Western Europe once this year." Ren Feng smiled. "So I won't be in the country for most of the year."

"Nice, you two are both going abroad. Looks like I'll be the only one left in the country. No way, you both have to punish yourselves with two drinks." Jiang Xiangwen said with a booming laugh.
