Chapter 586: Chapter 586: "Dragon Guard" Headquarters

Baili Zhan reached out and lightly patted his daughter on the back of the head, scolding with a laugh, "You girl, Fang Bai has passed on cultivation techniques and taught you martial arts, he counts as your master. It’s only right that we treat him well! Also, you’re not allowed to be impolite in the future. Even if you don’t call Fang Bai ’Master,’ you should at least call him ’Brother,’ right? Look how sensible Ruhua is!"

Baili Mingyue rubbed the spot where her father had patted her and muttered, "I’m used to calling Fang Bai by his name, calling him anything else feels weird!"

Baili Zhan said irritably, "I’ll give you a beating, then you won’t feel weird!"

Fang Bai shook his head with a smile and said, "Let it go, Uncle Baili. I consider Mingyue a friend, whatever she likes to call me, that’s what she should call me."

Baili Zhan sighed and said with a bitter smile, "This girl has been spoiled by us since she was little! Forget it, let’s not talk about her! Come on, Fang Bai, it’s been a long time since we last met, let’s go have a drink!"

Saying this, he walked side by side with Fang Bai into the living room.

Baili Mingyue saw Dongfang Ruhua blinking her big eyes at her, stuck out her tongue, and made a face at her.

Dongfang Ruhua let out a "pfft" of laughter, and her eyes turned into two crescent moons.

Before long, the square table in the living room was filled with dishes and wines, sumptuous and inviting, with tantalizing aromas filling the entire room.

"After a month, Aunt Jiang’s cooking skills have improved even more! I think even those famous chefs from big hotels are no match for Aunt Jiang!"

Fang Bai looked at the table full of delicious dishes and generously lavished his praise.

Fang Bai used to enjoy having meals with the Baili family, partly because Jiang Yuzhi’s cooking suited his taste.

The Baili family of three, along with Fang Bai and Dongfang Ruhua, five people gathered around the square table to eat and drink.

Indeed, Jiang Yuzhi’s cooking was delicious, as even Dongfang Ruhua, who usually had a small appetite, ate a bit too much.

Dongfang Ruhua wanted to eat more, but she worried that eating too much might make her fat and then she wouldn’t be pretty anymore, and her big brother might not like her anymore. With reluctance, she put down her chopsticks, wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth, and said with lingering fondness, "Auntie’s cooking is really delicious!"

Aunt Jiang genuinely liked Dongfang Ruhua, who was a well-behaved, sensible, and cute girl. She could tell that Ruhua’s compliment was sincere and felt pleased. She smiled and said, "If you like it, come over and play with Mingyue more often! Auntie has many more signature dishes that she hasn’t made yet! How about I cook them for you next time?"

"Really? Can I?"

The light in Dongfang Ruhua’s large eyes shimmered. If she could often come to eat the dishes made by Aunt Jiang, that would be wonderful, but what if her mother at home objected?

"If your family doesn’t agree with you coming here, you can say you are coming to consult Fang Bai about martial arts, I think that will definitely be alright!"

Seemingly perceiving Dongfang Ruhua’s inner thoughts, Jiang Yuzhi offered her a suggestion with a smile.

"Yes! My mom trusts big brother the most! If she knows I’m coming to see big brother, she definitely won’t object!"

Dongfang Ruhua’s spirits lifted, and she joyously said,

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Ruhua, if you want to come here often, I’ll talk to your parents later! It’s good for you and Mingyue to spend time together; I can give you both guidance! When you two are free, you can also exchange and spar with each other to make progress together!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

Dongfang Ruhua was so happy she almost jumped for joy. With Fang Bai speaking up for her, she no longer had to worry about her family’s objections, especially from her mother and grandfather, who would definitely give her strong support.

After dinner, Jiang Yuzhi went to clean up the kitchen, Fang Bai and Baili Zhan talked in the living room, and Dongfang Ruhua was pulled into her room by Baili Mingyue, where the two young girls whispered about something secretive.

As the time to go back to school in the afternoon approached, Fang Bai took Dongfang Ruhua with him and left the quadrangle.

After dropping off Dongfang Ruhua at the school gate, he headed to the Dragon Guard headquarters alone, planning to meet with Long Jingtian and his granddaughter.

Before returning to Yanjing, Fang Bai received a call from the Dragon Maiden, asking him to visit the Dragon Guard headquarters after arriving in Yanjing, as her grandfather Long Jingtian wished to see him and discuss some important matters.

Since becoming a member of the Dragon Guard, Fang Bai had not visited the Dragon Guard headquarters even once, and he didn’t even know where the headquarters was located, which made him arguably the least competent among the hundreds of members.

For this, the Dragon Maiden and Long Jingtian had no choice; how could they complain or give orders to someone as exceptional and detached as Fang Bai? With his cultivation level, the Dragon Guard was simply grateful to have him on board, let alone dare to be critical of him.

Just this morning, before the train carrying Fang Bai had arrived at Yanjing station, the Dragon Maiden had called him again to remind him not to forget about the promised meeting with her grandfather. Taking advantage of the free afternoon, Fang Bai decided to visit the Dragon Guard headquarters to see this world-renowned mysterious organization of Huaxia for himself.

The Dragon Guard headquarters were located in a grand manor in the West Suburb of Yanjing.

This manor was said to have once been an imperial palace built with grandeur and luxury.

After the founding of Huaxia, the manor was opened to the public as a famous tourist attraction. Later, with the establishment of the Dragon Guard and approval by the then Prime Minister, this manor became the headquarters of the Dragon Guard. The area for miles around was designated a secret no-go zone, with entry barred to non-members. The security was as strict as the Prime Minister’s official residence, underscoring the special status of the Dragon Guard in Huaxia.

As Fang Bai approached the Dragon Guard headquarters, he saw red walls and green tiles shrouded in the foliage ahead and sensed the auras of hundreds of martial artists both inside and outside the walls, which was somewhat unexpected.

He hadn’t anticipated that the overall strength of the Dragon Guard would match that of Huaxia’s Secular Ancient Martial World’s number one sect, Shaolin, not to mention that the number of Earth Level Martial Artists in the Dragon Guard seemed even more than that of Shaolin. With Heaven Level Martial Artist Long Jingtian presiding, they were well matched with Shaolin.

Moreover, it was said that the Dragon Guard had hundreds of members. With only a hundred warriors stationed within the grand walls ahead, should all members of the Dragon Guard be present, their strength would far surpass that of Shaolin.

No wonder the Dragon Guard is considered the most crucial hidden force maintaining stability in Huaxia; when all its fangs are bared, it truly has the capacity to do so.

Even so, it would have been easy for Fang Bai to enter the Dragon Guard headquarters unnoticed, but he chose not to do so. Instead, he called the Dragon Maiden to inform her of his arrival.

Moments later, the Dragon Maiden hurried out, her face full of joy, exchanged a few words with Fang Bai, and then led him into the manor.

They walked past one ancient building after another, and occasionally encountered martial artists along the way. According to the Dragon Maiden, these were all members of the Dragon Guard.
