Chapter 112 Long Fei is Yufei, but Yufei is not Long Fei
“Long Fei,” seeing that Long Fei did not hear him, Hao Ning asked him again word by word, “Are you not planning to tell us the truth?”

“Hmm?” Long Fei was just about to lubricate his lips and taste the cheap tea here, but who knew that Hao Ning would ask this question. He originally wanted to fool Hao Ning, but Hao Ning would not let him go, “What truth you are talking about?”

“Well, Hao Ning, aren’t you going to tell us the truth?” Liu Shuai snappily took the menu, while looking at the dishes and pointing at his phone and said, “It’s only 3 o’clock, you dragged us to this restaurant to eat, what are you trying to do? Furthermore — — “Liu Shuai raised his head and looked around, other than them, there were only the waiters. Liu Shuai asked softly,” Why here?”

Liu Shuai had a reason to ask this question. This restaurant was an unlucky place. Liu Shuai had been beaten up a few times here, once by Ah Zhe and once by Qili. It was merely the place of bad luck for him.

“Hehe,” Hao Ning laughed, pointed to the surroundings, and said, “Aren’t there fewer people here, and it will make a good place for us to chat? Besides, didn’t you notice that every time we went out to eat, there was always a fight? Since there must be trouble, let’s not bring this trouble to any other places and stay here. Anyway, this isn’t the first time this restaurant has such issues.”

“To you, it’s a fight,” Liu Shuai said snappily as he rolled his eyes at Hao Ning, and muttered, “For me, it was getting beaten up, okay? By the way, what’s the situation with you? Sometimes you are excellent at Kung Fu, but sometimes you just know nothing, are you sure you are Okay?”

“Pfft, of course, I am Okay,” Hao Ning laughed. “Every time I borrow the mana, it seems like the mana can stay in my body longer and longer, but I don’t really know the situation – Forget about it, Long Fei, why are you not speaking? Don’t even think about escaping from this! ”

“Eh?” Long Fei looked at Hao Ning with embarrassment, “Err…what should I speak?”

“Yeah, what should he speak?” Liu Shuai was also confused: “What’s wrong with Long Fei?”

“I can bear your putting girls before bros,” Hao Ning looked at Liu Shuai with a heartbroken face, as he spoke sincerely and earnestly to Liu Shuai. Liu Shuai felt like Hao Ning had become Mr. Chen who taught him in university, and only heard Hao Ning continuing in an aged voice, “But can you keep a little bit of your intelligence when you’re together with Wen in the future? Long Fei was able to fool the old lady with his lies that were filled with loopholes, but even you fell for that too? ”

“What lies?” Hearing Hao Ning talking about himself like that, Long Fei immediately argued, “I am a decent Dragon God of a Dragon King’s Temple, and monk never lies.”

“Ha! What kind of monk are you!? The day before yesterday, you ordered two KFC family buckets and left us no chicken wings!” Hao Ning looked at Long Fei in disdain and said disapprovingly, “Even Avalokitesvara would speak whatever in his mind, so what makes you different while you are only a mere Dragon God? Yes, you never lie, but you sure bluff a lot!”

“About this, Hao Ning, don’t be so agitated,” Liu Shuai saw that Hao Ning’s emotions were fluctuating, and quickly advised, “Isn’t Long Fei our new colleague? Don’t talk like that, Long Fei, when did you order the KFC family buckets? why didn’t I know about it?”

“Can you focus on the main point …” Seeing that Long Fei was not admitting to it even at this point, and that Liu Shuai was only concerned with the KFC family buckets, Hao Ning asked Liu Shuai who was entirely in the wrong concerns, “Liu Shuai, let me ask you, have you ever heard about a Dragon God being drowned in the water?” After that, Hao Ning continued to question Long Fei, “What did you say? The corpse they found downstream wasn’t you, but someone else. Do you think we are all idiots? The probability was almost negligible, okay? You could deceive the old lady with it, but how could this kind of lies deceive Liu Shuai, who is so intelligent and perfect? Do you think so, Liu Shuai? ”

“This…” Liu Shuai heard Hao Ning talked about himself directly and seemed to have realized what Long Fei said. A dragon being drowned in the water was as funny as a venom being poisoned to death. Thinking about it, Liu Shuai felt that it was weird, so he could not help but look at Long Fei suspiciously, “That’s right, Long Fei, Grandma Ren said that you drowned in the water to save a person, what was going on?”

“And what’s going on with the names Yufei and Long Fei?” Seeing that Long Fei did not respond, Liu Shuai knew he got the critical point, so he continued to ask, “Which one of them is you? Zhang Chihang was studying overseas, and the knowledge he had could be compatible with his current position. But look at you, you claim that you are a doctor, but you entered the company through someone you knew, do you think we will believe you? Besides, how did you enter Qingbei University at such a young age? Furthermore, if you could go there so early, how could you not have an ID? It’s not possible that when you entered the University, ID was not required, but when you were to graduate, you suddenly needed one? ”

Seeing that Hao Ning had more and more questions, Liu Shuai’s face became serious, “Long Fei, what is going on?”

“Yes,” Hao Ning carefully analyzed, “You were originally a Dragon God, if you chose to become a human, you would naturally have your advantages. Then, when you finished the study, you would naturally develop your own career. However, you clearly possess such a high level of knowledge but are unwilling to let the Old Lady Ren help you regain your education certificate; I don’t think that’s only because of ‘doctor is hard to find jobs.’ If you don’t want to become human, why did you study hard in university? We’ve all gone to university, so we know how much temptation you had to resist to study strictly every day. Based on your current situation, you aren’t doing this for the sake of cultivating, right? What is your purpose? ”

As he said these, Hao Ning couldn’t help but extend his pinky towards the chair nearby, with a “chi” sound, a small hole suddenly appeared on the metal part of the chair, which was precisely the same size as Hao Ning’s pinky. The hole was extremely smooth, and through the small hole, he could see the patterns on the floor.

“Holy shit, the Divine Sword of Six Veins?” Liu Shuai felt worried and realized Hao Ning was really suspecting Long Fei when he saw this. He couldn’t help but re-examine Long Fei. This Dragon God had been holding the Immortal Tying Rope since the moment he appeared, and he said that he bought it on Taobao, but when they went to search it, they found nothing, and then they thought about the Immortal Tying Rope in Zhang Quan’s hands that mysteriously exploded. Long Fei probably couldn’t escape from the that. Moreover, the fact that Long Fei shamelessly worked with him after coming out was also weird; he could not help but distance himself from Long Fei as he thought, “You, speak honestly, otherwise Hao Ning’s Divine Sword of Six Veins — —Shao Shang Sword is really powerful!”

“Don’t put on airs,” Hao Ning looked at Liu Shuai with some disdain, “The Shao Shang Sword was for the thumb, I am using the Shao Chong Sword.”

“You …” Long Fei did not pay attention to Liu Shuai’s threat, and instead looked at Hao Ning with wide eyes, “How did you notice so much …”

“You have not seen Hao Ning’s logical ability …With the name of the little prince of finding loopholes was not just for show, “Liu Shuai smiled bitterly as he looked at Hao Ning and said to Long Fei.” Do you think that my job is easy? You’ll know in the future.”

“Alright then …” Long Fei wiped his face, calmly looked at Hao Ning and Liu Shuai, and said something inexplicable. “Long Fei is Yufei, but Yufei is not Long Fei.”

“Eh?” This time, it was Liu Shuai and Hao Ning who were confused, “What are you talking about?”

Long Fei sighed, “Li Yufei, was the first child that I gave to a couple when I was doing the “Child giving business” after I have got the sacred art and became the Dragon God.

Previously, when Long Fei said that he was doing the “Child giving business,” Hao Ning felt that it was hilarious, but this time, he was not laughing, but listening quietly to what Long Fei had to say.

Long Fei began to recall his memories, his eyes filled with light: “At that time, people still believed that they had children because the wishes they made had come true, so they would come to my temple to pay their respects in holidays, and every time they came, they would bring little Yufei along.”

“But I don’t know since when there was only that man who brought Yufei over.” Long Fei took a sip of his tea and said slowly, “I started to lament that the human mind had changed, so the so-called belief was just a business deal. Until one day, when it was not a holiday, little Yufei came to the temple alone and knelt in the temple for an entire afternoon. Only then I found out that his mother had long passed away, so only that man was left to pay his respects. But just the day before, his father died due to an accident as well.”

“At that time, he was only five years old.” Long Fei quietly looked out of the window, as if he could see through the window and time. “Other children at this age are spoiled by their entire family. But when he was only five years old, he got no mother nor father and stayed alone.

Hao Ning and Liu Shuai quietly looked at Long Fei. No matter how much they guessed, they never expected it to be this.

“That afternoon, I did not feel any of Yufei’s wishes. What I had was just a little boy constantly blaming himself,” Long Fei retracted his gaze and continued to look at the teacup, “He believed that everything was his fault. He should not have been born in this world, and it was his unexpected birth that led to the accidental death of his parents.”

“How is this possible?” Liu Shuai could not help to say, “There is no such thing. Otherwise, wouldn’t Avalokitesvara, who gave children to parents the most, become a murderer?” After he finished speaking, there was a clap of thunder outside the window, and a gale once again arose, scaring Liu Shuai, who shrunk his neck, and he clasped his hands together, and muttered: “I did not intend to say that, I did not intend to say that, your majesty is generous…”

“You can’t talk about this with a five-year-old child,” Hao Ning said to Liu Shuai with a wry smile. He glanced at the wild wind outside, and it’s strange that the wind immediately stopped when he glanced.

“Yea,” Long Fei raised his head, smiled at Liu Shuai, Liu Shuai could tell that Long Fei’s smile was extraordinarily forced and unfamiliar. He only heard Long Fei continued to speak, “Little Yufei is only five years old, how would he know about the cruelty of the world?”

But at the same time, Long Fei continued to recall his memories, his gaze filled with warmth: “That night, after it was dark, Yufei left. I don’t know what was wrong with me, but I was following him all the way. And I found someone following him walking alone at night and wanted to kidnap him.

“Mn, during that era —” Hao Ning calculated the age and nodded. “I seem to have heard of something similar to the abduction of children.”

“Naturally, I saved him,” Long Fei laughed, scratched his head and said embarrassedly. “It wasn’t difficult for me to take care of those bad guys, but for Yufei, I became the god in his life.”

“What the…” Hao Ning opened his mouth, “I’ve only heard of heroes saving beauties, who would know that there was also Dragon God saving a child?”

I didn’t hide anything from him. I just directly told him who I am, “Long Fei laughed self-deprecatingly.” A five-year-old child wouldn’t doubt anything and would believe everything he was told. He hugged me and cried very hard, saying that no one in this world will love him anymore. Both dad and mum were dead; what should he do?

“Sigh…” “Hao Ning put down the thumb in his right hand, with which he had been on guard this entire time, and sighed, if he were faced with such problem, he would not know how to solve it either,” Then what did you say?

“At that time, I was always being respected by people. Other than being a statue of a god, what else did I know? Forget about that time; I probably don’t know much now either …” Long Fei laughed bitterly, and shook his head, “People thought that gods should know more than themselves, and their spiritual eyes were like lightning, but who would have thought that facing such a child’s problem, my brain was actually empty. Thus, I had no choice but to say what the pilgrims once said: You should study hard, as long as you study well, everything will be fine.”

“He cried and asked me if Mom and Dad would come back to life if he studied hard.” Long Fei was holding the cup tightly, “I looked at him, my heart was churning, but I still said ‘Yes.’ — This was my first lie as the Dragon God because I felt that telling the truth would make my heart ache an unbearable pain.”

“No wonder…” Hao Ning nodded and gently wiped the corner of his eyes, “No wonder Yufei was studying hard.”

After that, Yufei study very hard, and every time he got a full score in his homework…” Long Fei said as he relaxed his grip on the cup, his eyes became warm again,” He would come to the temple to tell me about it. So I told him that he could go to the back of the mountain and find me. In the beginning, he came once a week, and then he came almost every day, and I knew that this was because his studies were improving, he could only get one full score every week earlier, but later he could get full scores every day. Sometimes when I had to call for the rain, he would ride on my back.”

“On your back?” Hao Ning seemed to have thought of something, that he seemed to have seen this scene somewhere. At this time, Liu Shuai seemed to have cleared up a lot and blurted out, “Like Qili, who had ridden on your back?”

“Ah, yea, that’s right, the other day at Fu Tu Kang — —” Hao Ning slapped his head. That day, when Zhang Quan called Long Fei back, Qili was still happily riding on the back of the dragon that was turned into by Long Fei.

“That’s right,” Long Fei sniffed his nose, as if he recalled something, “Qili was a kid of a neighbor of Yufei’s. I found out from Qili that he had a brother who told him that there was a Dragon God in this world and that his brother was even friends with the Dragon God. I think the brother he’s talking about should be Yufei. ”

“No wonder.” Hao Ning slapped his thigh, nodded, and said, “No wonder Qili would say those words on your back on that day: So, all of these are true!”

There was one sentence that Hao Ning did not say, and that was ‘No wonder Long Fei and Qili’s relationship in the company was so good. So, it turns out that there was their karma’.

“You still remember that?” Liu Shuai looked at Hao Ning and blinked, his face filled with admiration.

“Nonsense, I didn’t value woman before friends!” Hao Ning said this in his heart, but he did not say it out loud. He only nodded his head and continued to ask Long Fei, “But then, why did you go to university? Could it be that Yufei didn’t pass the exam and you helped him go to the university to take the exam instead? “Hao Ning thought of Zhou Yuan’s ability. Since the moment God was able to make a fake education for Long Fei, then it was not impossible for this Dragon God to do some tricks in the exam.

When Liu Shuai heard this, his heart felt a little better. A little child, no matter how hard he tried, how could he possibly be a little genius? However, if he had used his spiritual strength to ‘cheat,’ then he really was no match for him.

“How could that be? Yufei was very smart. He had always been studying hard. Until one day he came to my temple instead of going to the back of the mountain, he knelt. That day, he was not very happy. He told me that he was accepted by the best university in the entire country, Qingbei University, “Long Fei’s originally warm eyes were now filled with pain.” He was going to study in the north now, and he would no longer be able to play with me in the future. ”

“Ah, Qingbei University?” Liu Shuai could not help but ask, “So it’s true, did he really pass the exam?”

“Of course, it’s true!” Long Fei looked at Liu Shuai with some displeasure, but still nodded and said, “How a smart boy like Yufei could fail the exam? That year, he was only 12 years old. ”

“He seemed to know that I would be sad. That day, he said that I was the one who gave him gifts for so many years, so he also planned to give me something. He didn’t know if I like it or not.” Long Fei did not stay unhappy for too long; he kept recalling, “He gave me a name. He said that since he’s called Li Yufei, then I would be Li Long Fei, and from then on, we would be true brothers.”

“Li Yufei, Li Long Fei?” Hao Ning counted on his fingers, “I see. It makes sense, but what about after?”

“After that, I gave him something as well, a protective talisman,” Long Fei said without raising his head, “In the following year, I didn’t see him again.”

“One year?” Hao Ning acutely noticed the problem in the sentence, “In other words, the next time you two met each other, was a year later when he came to find you?”

“It can be yes and no to your guess,” Long Fei looked at Hao Ning with a complex expression, but he still nodded his head, “You can indeed use logic to deduce a few things, but there is also a loophole. We indeed met again a year later, but it’s not that he’s looking for me, but I was looking for him.”

“You were looking for him? Was it the pain of lovesickness?” Hao Ning felt that this phrase was inappropriate, but since he had already said it, he was too lazy to change it.
