Chapter 833: Chapter 834 Good Instructor

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Jiang Xueliang hurried over to open it, and a man in his thirties walked in.

"Uncle Li, Happy New Year!" The man greeted Li Jianguo with a loud voice, his entire presence exuding a strong and vigorous air.

Li Jianguo stood up, let out a hearty laugh, and said, "Liu Hu, come on in, don’t be shy, make yourself at home."

"Yes, sir!" Liu Hu responded loudly, then walked toward the sofa.

"Come here, let me introduce you. This is Song... what’s his name again? He’s said to be from Dragon Thorn; take a look, does he seem like someone from Dragon Thorn?" Li Jianguo pointed at Song Xiaodong.

Liu Hu was just about to sit down on the sofa when he caught sight of Song Xiaodong. Suddenly, it was as if he had been pricked by a needle on the sofa and he sprang to his feet. Then, with a snap to attention, he performed a standard military salute and yelled, "Instructor Song, sir!"

Li Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked back and forth between Liu Hu and Song Xiaodong, saying, "What did you say? What did you call him?"

"Instructor!" Liu Hu answered loudly.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Alright then, take a seat. This isn’t the army; you don’t have to be so stiff."

"No matter where it is, you’ll always be our instructor!" Liu Hu answered loudly, and in this aspect, he indeed resembled Li Jianguo a bit; no wonder Li Jianguo thought highly of him.

The expression on Jiang Xueliang’s face suddenly turned marvelous. Song Xiao was the Family Head of the Su Family; that might have happened due to some coincidences unknown to him, but being an instructor of a special forces unit truly reflected one’s strength.

What’s more, Li Jianguo had always been proud of Liu Hu and looked down on Song Xiaodong; now, Song Xiaodong turned out to be Liu Hu’s instructor. The contrast was just too great, and the dramatic irony was too strong. Watching his obstinate brother-in-law with a dumbfounded expression, Jiang Xueliang almost couldn’t suppress a laugh.

"Liu Hu, you aren’t mistaken? This slick and polished fellow could be an instructor in our Wolf Warrior Unit?" Li Jianguo regained his composure and then widened his eyes at Liu Hu.

Liu Hu rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Li, Instructor Song’s strength is formidable. When he first came to our Wolf Warrior Unit, we didn’t accept him. Then the instructor let us pick ten men to fight him."

"Ten of our Wolf Warriors fighting him alone, wouldn’t that beat the shit out of him?" Li Jianguo sneered, but then immediately felt that something was wrong and his eyes widened again, saying, "You didn’t lose, did you?"

Liu Hu’s face showed immense admiration as he said, "You’re right, we lost, and it was a miserable defeat."

Li Jianguo said in disbelief, "You guys couldn’t have gone easy on him because of some special connections, could you?"

Liu Hu responded, "I was part of it too, Uncle Li. Do you think I would hold back?"

"That’s indeed not like you." Li Jianguo again turned to look at Song Xiaodong, his face showing a particularly odd expression, and after a long while, he finally said, "So you’re this strong, kid?"

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, I’m alright."

"But it doesn’t show on you at all." Li Jianguo frowned deeply.

Liu Hu also looked surprised, feeling that the vigorous air about Song Xiaodong had faded a lot; this was quite different from the aura he used to exhibit before.

With a light smile, Song Xiaodong’s aura suddenly burst forth, then quickly withdrew again.

For someone like Jiang Xueliang who doesn’t know Kung Fu, it was only evident that Song Xiaodong suddenly appeared a bit fiercer. However, for Li Jianguo and Liu Hu, it felt as though they were trapped amidst a hostile army. An aura of death instantly assaulted their senses, instilling an immediate fear of facing a supreme warrior.

"Ah!" Liu Hu let out in a low exclamation, then joyfully shouted, "Instructor Song, you’ve become even stronger than before."

Song Xiaodong gave a faint smile, then said to Li Jianguo, "Uncle, my apologies for any offense, please don’t take it amiss."

Li Jianguo shook his head. He had left the military many years ago, and although he had not fallen behind in his Kung Fu, he had not engaged in systemic training as in the past, plus his body was past its prime. His current strength was still much greater than an average person, but compared to Liu Hu, he was significantly lacking. Song Xiaodong’s imposing manner had left him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

"Good young man, you truly are a master!" Li Jianguo’s look towards Song Xiaodong changed significantly this time.

Song Xiaodong apologetically said, "Uncle, I forgot that you’ve left the military for many years. I really went a bit too far just now."

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Although I’m not as valiant as I once was, I never stopped training. My body is still in good shape. If you’re an instructor in the Wolf Warrior Unit, then your position in Dragon Thorn must not be low."

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, this I truly cannot say."

Li Jianguo immediately responded, "Oh, I understand. The Dragon Thorn itself is a secret unit; of course, you can’t just talk about it. Even family members cannot be told, and you’re doing a fine job keeping that secret. I just got a bit excited earlier and asked without thinking."

"Instructor! You being here at Uncle Li’s house is..." Liu Hu asked, somewhat perplexed.

Li Jianguo turned awkwardly embarrassed as Song Xiaodong replied with a smile, "Sijie is now with me, and I’m here to pay a New Year’s visit."

"So that’s it..." Liu Hu sighed with relief, then grinned and scratched his head, saying, "That settles it then, I’m relaxed now."

Li Jianguo’s face darkened as he said, "Liu Hu, what do you mean by that?"

Feeling embarrassed, Liu Hu chuckled and replied, "Uncle Li, I still want to seriously serve a few more years in the army. Honestly, I hadn’t considered settling down just yet. I originally came reluctantly but thankfully Instructor Song is here. He’s leagues above me, so it’s great for you to have such a son-in-law."

Li Jianguo rolled his eyes and then burst into laughter, saying, "I never expected you to come out with such flattering words, alright, alright, consider my matchmaking overstepping."

Jiang Xueliang laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, shouldn’t you bring out some good spirits now?"

Li Jianguo said proudly, "Certainly, I have a thirty-year pure brew stored from the army."

At this moment, Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Uncle, why not try the spirit I’ve just brought for you? It also comes from the army, and the vintage is even older."

"Ah? I haven’t looked yet. I must go see it." Li Jianguo stood up excitedly upon hearing this.

"Wife, where did you put the spirit Xiaodong brought just now?" Li Jianguo directly pushed open the bedroom door and asked loudly.

"Why are you shouting so randomly? Hey, why are you looking for the spirit that the guest brought? You’re not thinking of throwing it out, are you?"

Li Jianguo exclaimed, "Throw it out? That’s a fine spirit from the army. I want to have a taste. Bring it here quickly."

"Huh, what’s gotten into you?" Li Sijie’s mother looked at her husband in surprise, also feeling a bit confused by this attitude.
