Chapter 698: Chapter 699: Bringing Lin Su’er Home

Xu Hao and Shen Ning were indeed luckier than Song Xiaodong. These experiences were forced out of them by strong fighters like Song Xiaodong and Su Zhentian through life-and-death battles.

This kind of experience simply couldn’t be gained from regular sparring sessions.

Xu Hao and Shen Ning had also gone through countless life-and-death trials, but what they lacked were opportunities to spar with true masters. Just like Song Xiaodong, who, in the past, had considered himself a top fighter, rarely defeated by anyone.

However, it wasn’t until he really came into contact with those major families that Song Xiaodong realized that there were always taller mountains and stronger people in the world. There were still many strong individuals; Su Zhentian was merely the strongest in the Su Family. Could it be that those families stronger than the Su Family and Sun Family might have even stronger members?

Expanding the scope even further, this was just within China. Could there be even stronger fighters abroad?

The answer was obviously affirmative, because the upcoming battle alone was enough to prove the opponent’s strength. Song Xiaodong suddenly thought of a question: why had the opponent suggested they fight two years later instead of immediately?

Perhaps they simply thought that he wasn’t currently worthy to fight them, so they decided to wait two years. This was the pride of a strong fighter: if you’re not worthy of fighting me, I won’t fight you.

Realizing this motivated Song Xiaodong immensely. Half of the two years had already passed, and he had improved so much by now. He didn’t believe that in another two years, he wouldn’t be worthy of challenging his opponent.

"Bro, why are you suddenly so excited?" Feng Kexin leaned over and asked with a smile.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "I’ve just realized something, so I’m very happy."

"Then let us in on it," Feng Kexin said with a wink.

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "I’ve found a new goal and motivation: to never let these two guys surpass me."

"Holy shit!" Xu Hao exclaimed, but then immediately chuckled and said, "As long as I keep following closely behind you, it will be fine. By then, you’ll be the best in the world, and I’ll be the second. Haha, second in the world—I bet there’ll be lots of girls; just thinking about it is exhilarating."

"Hmph, big stallion!" Shen Ning said fiercely.

Both Song Xiaodong and Xu Hao’s faces darkened. Those words insulted not just Xu Hao, but Song Xiaodong as well.

"By the way, Eldest Brother, this medicine is so good, do you have any more? Give me some more," Xu Hao approached with a flattering look.

Song Xiaodong glared and said, "Get lost, this medicine is very rare, and it wouldn’t enhance much the second time, merely acting as a restorative. Such good medicine, do you think it’s worth chugging it down like a blue potion in a game?"

Xu Hao immediately replied, "Oh, it’s like that, is it? Well, then I won’t ask for more. By the way, you’re obviously stronger now, could it be that there is even better medicine?"

"Mmm, indeed there is, but it’s better to wait until your True Qi is pure enough before taking it. Damn, you guys are just picking up bargains; Laozi had to exchange his life for this experience."

"Brothers for life; why bother over such things?" Xu Hao didn’t even feel embarrassed. Their friendship had been forged through life-or-death experiences.

"Watch out!" Shen Ning suddenly exclaimed, launching a palm strike at Xu Hao.

"Afraid of Helai!" Xu Hao immediately launched a claw strike in response.

Both of them, having just improved, were eager to test their new capabilities, and immediately began fighting.

Watching them, Song Xiaodong felt somewhat conflicted. Feng Kexin said, "Bro, what’s wrong?"

Song Xiaodong said, "I want to take them to the south, but you still need protection right now."

Feng Kexin immediately said, "Go to the south? That’s simple, I am also ready to start demonstrating my strength. Just find me some sort of company there, and I’ll consider it an exercise of my abilities."

"That’s actually a good idea." Song Xiaodong was overjoyed at once.

"Hehe, this way I can stay with Brother too." Feng Kexin said, her smile brimming with joy.

"Alright, then it’s decided, we’ll go together."

"Oh yeah! That’s great!" Feng Kexin hugged Song Xiaodong’s arm and jumped twice, her joy evident.

Song Xiaodong had initially wanted to bring along Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Gang, two of his childhood brothers, but after giving it some thought, he decided to set aside that idea for now. Neither of them had the capability for such a transition. Taking them along might lead to criticism later, and it would be better to find some opportunities for them to earn money later on.

This trip to the Su family involved facing many issues, so he had to be stationed there at the Su family, which also meant that he would have to focus on the city of Minghe City, where the Su family was located.

His time in Tiannan was likely to be very limited, almost implying a total family relocation.

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying following him was certainly not an issue, but Miao Qingqing was somewhat hesitant. After all, Qingyuan Group was founded by her father. She was not comfortable leaving it in someone else’s hands, nor could she bear to. Although her father hadn’t passed away, there had been no contact with him for days, and it wasn’t clear where he was, nor did it seem like he had plans to come back and take charge.

So, Miao Qingqing decided to stay here first and deal with Qingyuan Group’s matters, and then she would reunite with Song Xiaodong later.

That evening, Song Xiaodong came to the hospital, but he didn’t go inside. Instead, he waited at the entrance. Soon, Lin Su’er came out with a few of her colleagues.

"Su’er!" Song Xiaodong greeted her with a smile, and also presented her with a big bouquet of fresh flowers.

"Ah!" Lin Su’er was completely stunned. She stared blankly at Song Xiaodong, her mouth agape as if it could fit an egg.

A few of the hospital’s colleagues immediately got excited, with someone jokingly saying, "Doctor Song, are you openly pursuing Su’er now?"

Song Xiaodong responded with a smile, "Yes."

"Dongzi... what is this..." Lin Su’er finally regained her senses, first looking down at the flowers in her hands and confirming they were real, then stammered out her question to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Su’er, today I’m taking you to meet a few people."

"Ah? Who?" Lin Su’er asked instinctively.

The group of colleagues immediately laughed heartily, "Of course you’re meeting the parents, what else? That goes without saying."

"Right, meeting the parents, that means getting married, right? We definitely need wedding candy, and you have to let us know when it’s happening."

After the group of colleagues left laughing, Lin Su’er, feeling somewhat dizzy, climbed into Song Xiaodong’s car. It wasn’t until she entered Song Xiaodong’s house that she suddenly realized where she was.

"Ah!" Lin Su’er, holding her bouquet of flowers, was shocked upon seeing Miao Qingqing and others in the living room. The bouquet slipped from her hands...
