Chapter 620: Chapter 620: This Meal is Hard to Chew

"Qi Qi’s cooking skills are simply divine,"

Lin Fan leaned back in his chair contentedly.

With the large pork knuckle devoured, his mouth was dripping with oil.

The lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth felt incredibly comforting.

"If you like it, eat more. I’ve stewed a few more,"

Li Qiqi said with a happy smile.

As long as Lin Fan enjoyed the food, nothing else mattered to her.

Meanwhile, Li Yizhen and Luo Jiuying, who had just entered the dining room, also smelled the lingering scent of meat.

Their cravings were instantly aroused.

"My dear granddaughter, you can’t just take care of your elder brother’s stomach and neglect your grandfather’s,"

"Exactly, and your god-grandfather here would like to have a taste too,"

Li Qiqi’s face turned serious as she looked at the two playful septuagenarians.

With arms crossed, a sly look in her eyes, she said, "Wanting to eat the pork knuckle is not difficult, but I still have some moves I don’t quite understand. If Mr. Luo is willing to practice with me, I might reward you both with a taste!"

"That’s a piece of cake, Radish-head, quickly go practice with my granddaughter,"

Li Yizhen quickly gestured with his hands.

"Old Li, have you gone mad? Don’t you know how heavy this girl’s punches are now? Last time, just for a chicken leg, I took quite a beating. If it’s for a pork knuckle, it might cost me half my life. How about you go instead?"

Luo Jiuying shook his head as frenetically as a rattle-drum.

The speed of Li Qiqi’s progress was beyond imagination.

"If I could do it, I would have acted long ago. Better to endure the bitter taste than to pull the emperor off his horse. You are the branch Hierarch of the Martial Alliance, a martial artist for most of your life, how can you be afraid of my granddaughter? It would be embarrassing to admit it,"

Li Yizhen’s mouth twitched, but he couldn’t hide his self-satisfaction while saying this.

After all, that was his very own granddaughter.

"Don’t give me that. Do you know what talent is? Her starting point is a level I could never reach in my lifetime. Anyway, I’m not doing this. It’s better to miss out on the food,"

Luo Jiuying hastily waved his hands in refusal.

He would rather go without a bite of meat than lie in bed for three more days.

"Don’t be like that. I’ll be gentler this time. You better get ready, Mr. Luo,"

Li Qiqi didn’t care whether he accepted the challenge or not and threw a punch his way.

This punch even seemed a bit more fierce than before.

Forced to retreat, Luo Jiuying hastily stepped back, dodging into the yard.

Pressured into such an embarrassing state by a junior, Luo Jiuying couldn’t really back down from the fight.

He beckoned, "Hey, girl, can’t you be a little less fierce?"

"Don’t worry, Mr. Luo, I’ll be careful,"

Li Qiqi was now particularly happy.

This was the first time she was showing off her skills in front of Lin Fan.

Just as she leaped out of the yard, ready to exchange a few moves with Luo Jiuying,

Suddenly, a whirlwind of invisible force roared in.

The suffocating sensation made everyone feel as if the pressure had doubled.

Without a gust of wind, they felt breathless.

"Little girl... you..."

Luo Jiuying looked at Li Qiqi with a face full of astonishment.

Was this invisible force released by her?

"It’s not her!"

At that moment, Lin Fan also stepped out, placing a hand on Li Qiqi’s nape.

A surge of cool energy instantly flowed into her limbs and bones.

The feeling of suffocation instantly disappeared.

"What happened!"

Li Qiqi, who had just managed to catch her breath, looked at Lin Fan with amazement.

Meanwhile, his gaze was directed towards the western sky.

"A master has come looking for the Heavenly Master."

Lin Fan was well aware that this aura was not directed at them, but at the old Heavenly Master in the backyard.

Luo Jiuying and the others felt unusually uncomfortable, entirely due to their lack of strength.

This was the difference between a top-notch expert and an ordinary person.

Perhaps with a mere thought, an ordinary person could lose their life on the spot.

"Old friend, it has been a long time!"

Sure enough, the old Heavenly Master’s voice, explosive like thunder, came from the backyard.

In an instant, it shattered the invisible pressure.

At the same time, his figure shot toward the west like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he had vanished without a trace.

At this moment, Lin Fan had also leapt onto the rooftop, looking toward the west.

He saw four figures vanish in an instant. Aside from the old Heavenly Master, there were indeed three other supreme experts present.

Could it be that these were the Dragon Fang Three Emperors?

"My heavens, just the momentum is so impressive. My life has not been lived in vain after all."

When Lin Fan returned to the courtyard, Luo Jiuying was already sitting on the ground, gasping for breath.

That pressure had truly given him a glimpse of a nearly divine power’s strength.

"Who exactly are they? They’re not enemies of the old Heavenly Master, are they?"

Li Qiqi looked worriedly at Lin Fan.

Having spent a lot of time with the old Heavenly Master recently,

she had naturally grown quite close to him.

"Don’t worry, that was just another way friends greet each other. Not only are they not enemies, but they should also be quite good friends. It’s just that tonight’s dinner might not be very enjoyable."

Lin Fan pursed his lips, suspecting that Zhao Jiaqi’s grandfather must be among them.

Having dinner with such powerful experts was likely not going to be easy.

Li Yizhen, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, as if nothing had happened.

Since he did not have inner strength to recoil from, all he felt was a bit of pressure.

In contrast, Luo Jiuying was already drenched in sweat, leading Li to mockingly say, "Just a greeting nearly cost you your old life. I think you’re really ready to retire."

Luo Jiuying did not argue, after all, what he said was true.

Just then, Zhao Jiaqi ran into the courtyard, looking curiously at Lin Fan.

"Did you see if my grandpa came?"

"Your grandpa didn’t come, but I’m afraid it’s more terrifying than if he had. Tonight’s dinner is going to be quite interesting," Lin Fan replied, twisting his mouth.

He should have realized yesterday that the Three Emperors were inviting him not just for a meal.

They probably also wanted to see the true strength of Wolve’s Fang.

"What’s so interesting about having a meal?"

Zhao Jiaqi naturally had no idea of the underlying reasons.

Lin Fan did not elaborate further but changed the subject.

"By the way, did your grandpa say where we’re having dinner tonight?"

"At the Qingxu Temple on Beiliang Mountain, so it’s about time to set off," she said.

Beiliang Mountain was over two hundred kilometers away, and it would take some time to get there.

"Such a desolate place for dinner? It seems more like it’s time for a fight rather than a meal," Lin Fan remarked, frowning.

The entire area within a hundred miles was uninhabited, and Qingxu Temple was merely a historic site.

It was one thing to go to a forest park to breathe in some fresh air.

But for four experts to go there did not seem like they were just there for a meal.

It would be a waste not to fight in such a spacious place.

"A fight? Could it be?" Zhao Jiaqi gasped in surprise, covering her mouth with her hand.

If the Three Emperors made a move, even sparring could stir up countless troubles.

Lin Fan, however, gave a wry smile and said, "I do hope that’s true because otherwise, it means they intend to dampen my spirit by targeting me. I won’t tolerate such a thing!"
