Wangjiang Mingyuan.
It was the top mansion in Haicheng City.
Those who could settle down here were all famous figures in Haicheng City.
As for Gao Haoran’s family, they owned a single-family villa here and enjoyed the best scenery.
At this moment, Gao Haoran’s father, Gao Feng, was sitting in the small courtyard of the villa, looking at the night scenery and enjoying the river breeze. On the stone table beside him was a bottle of red wine. From time to time, he would raise his glass and take a sip comfortably.
“Tsk! Nice!”
Gao Feng was quite satisfied with his current life.
He was actually a Silver Lunar Martial Artist.
If he were in a first-tier city like Beijing or Shanghai, or a quasi first-tier city like Jiangnan City, an ordinary Silver Lunar Martial Artist would really not be considered a big shot.
However, in Haicheng City, a third-tier city, Gao Feng was an honored guest no matter where he went with his status as a Silver Lunar Martial Artist.
In comparison, among the many Silver Lunar martial artists, the days at the peak were indeed comfortable.
“I should just open the bottle of ’82 lafite’ in the wine cellar on a good day!” Gao Feng suddenly thought.
Gao Feng had been saving this bottle of 1982 Lafite wine for more than ten years. It had been stored in the depths of the wine cellar and he could not bear to drink it. It was only because this night was extraordinarily beautiful and the wind was quite pleasant that Gao Feng suddenly had this thought.
“When I open the wine, I must take a few more photos and post more on my Moments… I’ll make my old friends who came back from the outer realm jealous!” Gao Feng thought smugly, but his eyes were filled with reminiscence.
Outer realm…
It was an extremely terrifying battlefield.
Celestial Martial Artists were not even qualified to go. Even among Silver Lunar Martial Artists, less than ten percent could return alive from the Outer Realm.
As for Gao Feng, he was often proud of having fought in the Outer Realm battlefield.
Over the years, he had bragged about this to many people!
“I wonder how Haoran is now?” Gao Feng drank his wine and suddenly thought of his son. “He definitely won’t be able to come back tonight! I’ll let him suffer and see if it can affect his temperament!”
‘That’s right!’
The five martial artists who stopped Gao Haoran were personally arranged by Gao Feng!
This father had actually put in a lot of effort! As a Silver Lunar Martial Artist, he knew very well… how far one could walk on the path of martial arts was not only related to talent, but also to one’s temperament!
In terms of talent, Gao Haoran should not be considered bad! After all, his father was a Silver Lunar Martial Artist. With his genes, he could not be bad!
But in terms of temperament, Gao Haoran was really trash among trash!
Gao Feng even suspected that his son had never cultivated with all his heart—although he seemed to have been working hard on the surface, it was very likely just “seemingly”.
Therefore, Gao Feng specially spent money to arrange such a show, hoping to hone Gao Haoran’s temperament.
“Haoran, oh Haoran, don’t blame Daddy for being ruthless! Daddy is doing this for your own good!” Gao Feng thought and took another sip of wine comfortably.
Tsk tsk!
How comfortable!
And at that moment—
“Dad! I’m back!” Gao Haoran’s voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
“What?!” Although Gao Feng sensed that someone was approaching, he did not pay attention to it. He thought that it was just an ordinary passerby. Therefore, when he heard Gao Haoran’s voice, Gao Feng sat up straight and looked at his son in surprise. “Why are you back?”
When Gao Haoran walked into the courtyard, he actually felt a little guilty. After all, he knew best what he had done. In order to compete with the other simps of the simps, Gao Haoran had stolen his father’s beloved ’82 from the wine cellar!
And now, as soon as he got home, his father asked him in a tone he had never used before: Why did you come home?
How could Gao Haoran not be frightened?
“Have I been… exposed?” Gao Haoran thought in horror.
He couldn’t help but shiver as he looked at his father carefully. “Dad, you found out?”
In fact, Gao Haoran was already raising his butt skillfully, ready to be beaten up. Every time he made a mistake, his father would beat him up!
When he was young, his father used a wooden stick to whip him. Later on, when he grew up, his punching force became stronger and stronger, and the equipment that was used slowly changed to whips, iron rods, and so on.
Gao Haoran also knew that he had made a huge mistake this time! The strength of this beating would probably reach a new high!
“I hope my father won’t be too ruthless on account of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination!” Gao Haoran prayed silently.
However, after waiting for about ten seconds, Gao Haoran still did not receive any fatherly love. He looked up in confusion. “Dad, aren’t you going to beat me up?”
“Beat you up?” Gao was confused; this was the first time he had seen such a cheap request. “Why would I beat you up?”
However, Gao Feng’s words had another meaning in Gao Haoran’s ears!
“You’re not even willing to beat me up?” Gao Haoran’s face was ashen with fear. He shouted, “Dad! Do you not want me anymore just because I stole a bottle of wine from you?”
“Wine? What wine?” A bad feeling suddenly rose in Gao Feng’s heart, and he hurriedly turned and rushed into the wine cellar. As expected, his most beloved ’82 Lafite had disappeared!
“Gao Haoran!!!” When Gao Feng walked out of the wine cellar, he was holding an iron rod as thick as a bowl in one hand and a medicine box in the other. Without any explanation, he grabbed Gao Haoran and started beating him up.
With Gao Feng’s abilities, his control over his strength had long been extremely precise. With this beating, Gao Haoran would be in so much agony, yet with no actual injuries.
After beating him up for a full ten minutes, Gao Feng finally felt a little better. He threw the medicine box over and let Gao Haoran apply the medicine himself.
Gao Haoran was already used to being beaten up and started applying medicine for himself.
At this moment, Gao Feng, who had regained his senses, couldn’t help but ask, “How did you come back? Didn’t you encounter any danger along the way?”
When he asked, Gao Feng couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Those five people are too unreliable. They’ve already taken the money, but they’re not working?”
“Danger?” Gao Haoran gritted his teeth in pain and said, “I did encounter some, but they did not count as danger! I just encountered five no-names that were taken care of in a few moves!”
Gao Feng’s face was full of question marks.
‘Five no-names?’
‘He took care of it in two or three moves?’
The five “actors” he had hired were all official martial artists! Although the five of them were not very strong, they could probably even pose a threat to a one-star martial artist if they joined forces, right?
“Who took care of it?” Gao asked.
“It’s my good brother, Lin Mo. You should have heard of him!” Gao Haoran said honestly. “If he hadn’t attacked so quickly, taking away my chance to do so, I would have made those five suffer even more!”
“Lin Mo?” Of course, Gao Feng had heard of this name. “The classmate you mentioned last time who chose to become idle?”
“Yes! It’s him, Brother Mo!” Gao Haoran said. “I really don’t understand what those five were thinking. They joined forces and were insta-killed by Brother Mo… With just this bit of strength, they actually dare to come out and rob us? Are they stupid?”
Gao Feng looked surprised and unconvinced.
At that moment, his phone rang; he looked at the number and saw that it was the five “actors”.
“Hello? What’s going on?” Gao asked as soon as he picked up.
“Boss Gao, the five of us didn’t offend you in any way, right?” The voice on the other end of the line questioned immediately. “You said yourself that you wanted us to put on a show to scare your son! But why did you arrange for an unfathomable expert to protect your son all the way?”
An unfathomable expert? Protecting him all the way?
Gao Feng was even more surprised, but he had a rough guess in his heart. He hurriedly said into the phone, “I have something to do right now! I’ll give you a satisfactory compensation later!”
Then he hung up.
“Haoran!” Gao Feng looked at his son again. “Did Student Lin Mo accompany you on the way back?”
“That’s right! What’s wrong, Dad?” Gao Haoran asked, puzzled.
“Hiss—” Even though he was a Silver Lunar Martial Artist and was already used to all kinds of big scenes in the outer realm battlefield, at this moment, Gao Feng still couldn’t help but gasp.
‘He hid it too well!’
Lin Mo had hidden himself too deeply!
One person and one punch had instantly killed five official martial artists! What kind of strength was this?
Gao Feng was almost 100% sure that Lin Mo was definitely a hidden peerless genius!
He f*cking chose to lie idle and give up on the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination!
He had long looked down on the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, which was why he chose to become idle!!
What number one genius in Haicheng City, Liu Zhonghao? Compared to Lin Mo, he was nothing!
“Such shocking talent…” Gao Feng’s heart was already in turmoil.
He knew very well what such a terrifying talent meant!
Lin Mo’s future achievements would definitely not be as simple as a Silver Lunar Martial Artist! He might not even be just a Radiant Solar Martial Artist. He might very well become a martial arts grandmaster!
“My son’s classmate is actually a future martial arts grandmaster?” Just thinking of this made Gao Feng’s breathing quicken.
After thinking about it, he decided not to tell this news to his silly son for the time being. He was afraid that once Gao Haoran, this silly child, found out, he would not be able to grasp this friendship!
“Did you steal my bottle of ’82 Lafite to give to Lin Mo to drink?” Gao Feng suddenly asked.
“Yes!” Gao Haoran couldn’t help but shrink in fear when he heard his father mention stealing alcohol again.
“It’s okay, Dad won’t hit you!” Gao Feng said kindly. He even took the initiative to take the medicine box and apply it to his son. “Since you’re giving it to a good brother to drink, Dad will understand! Let’s end incident here!”
“Dad…” Gao Haoran was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes.
This was the first time he realized that his father was actually so understanding. The beating he had just suffered did not seem to hurt as much anymore.
“And—” Gao Feng said with unclear intentions. “You have to remember that your Brother Mo will be your biological brother in the future!”
