The Unknown God of War - Season 1 Episode 22

Zhou Ying and her mother held the hands of Sun Mingxuan as they were chatting and laughing along the way; they seemed lovely together.

Zhou Lie was alone in the courtyard smoking his cigarette and frowning as he recalled about the incident that happened just now… Were all of these truly the deeds of Sun Mingxuan’s eldest uncle? That was a little suspicious.

As he was pondering, he kept seeing a blurred silhouette of a person in his eyes, until the face of Chu Feng finally came into focus.

Zhou Lie slapped his thigh hard and exclaimed, “Could it be the deeds of that little brat?!”

It was a cool morning autumn; the sky was clear and the air was refreshing.

When the majority of people were still in their snuggly bed struggling to fight their own laziness, Chu Feng had begun his morning exercise of shadowboxing, working out and jogging in the park of Mount Haitang. He had been in the army for ten years, and morning exercise was compulsory for him each and every day.

Luo Gang was following Chu Feng closely. In such an era where twinks and feminine-looking males were gaining popularity, it was a rare scene to see two men with such masculine temperaments; they were like two beautiful sceneries, appealing to the eyes.

This was true especially for Chu Feng; he had a tall figure and handsome facial features, especially his deep and bright eyes that were like gemstones shining in the dark, magical and charming, and people couldn’t help but sneaking peeks at him.

Along the way, there were quite a number of young and beautiful women glancing at him with drooling expressions.

“He’s so handsome and he has such a great temperament. Do you think he has a girlfriend? Do you think he’s married?”

“I would advise you to dispel your thoughts. Didn’t you see that he came from the Mount Haitang’s Villa Area? Of all the residents in that area, which one of them wasn’t young, talented and successful in their careers? How could he be attracted to you…”

“Hmph, he wouldn’t be attracted to you either. At least I have fair skin, a beautiful face and slender legs. What about you? You’re a flat-chested princess…”

“Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to provoke me?”

“Hahaha!”

The two young girls were chuckling and playing around with each other, bringing vitality to the chilly autumn day and attracting glances of the people along the road.

Chu Feng smiled faintly without looking at them as he continued his jogging.

At this moment, his heart was fully occupied by Yun Muqing and Duo Duo. How could he fit in anyone else?

It had only been a day since he missed his daughter, yet he was in an unsettled state of mind, and that was uncomfortable.

Whenever he recalled Duo Duo’s playful and cute smile, his whole heart felt warm. His daughter was everything to him, and she was the hope and purpose of his life.

“I’ll visit them after breakfast,” Chu Feng told himself in his heart. As they arrived at a breakfast shop, he got a table with Luo Gang and they took their seats.

The steaming tofu pudding, golden brown deep-fried dough sticks and steamed buns were served, and the savoury aroma of the food boosted their appetites.

He didn’t expect that such authentic breakfast would be served in Jiangling, and a northerner like Chu Feng felt truly satisfied.

At this moment, the phone rang and it was from Zhou Lie.

Chu Feng answered the phone, “Dad…”

“Don’t call me Dad, I’m not your dad!” Before he could finish his words, Zhou Lie interrupted furiously on the other side on the phone, and his tone was outrageous.

Chu Feng smiled bitterly as he added a pinch of salt into his tofu pudding and said, “Dad, why are you so angry this early in the morning? Who offended you?”

“Who else could it be? Of course it’s you! Didn’t I warn you that I would disregard you as my son if you visit the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas? Be honest with me, did you go looking for Ma Sanyuan?” Zhou Lie’s tone was harsh yet full of worry as he asked. “Are you the one who injured Ma Sanyuan? Stupid boy! Tell me honestly, did you get hurt?”

“Dad, I’m fine,” Chu Feng replied. Ma Sanyuan had probably visited the Zhou Family to apologize last night, but Zhou Lie seemed to have sensed something more behind the matter.

“Seems like you’re really the one who did it.” Zhou Lie was silent for a few seconds, then he chuckled. “Little brat! You had the ability to make Ma Sanyuan, leader of the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas kowtow to me as an apology and return the land to me. You’re indeed capable, all my efforts in raising you up didn’t go to waste. Haha, I’ve been holding a grudge on him for ten years, and now I’m finally relieved. Come home when you’re free, my son. Let’s have a few drinks together.”

The corners of Chu Feng’s mouth lifted in a grin; he smiled helplessly while eating his breakfast. “I couldn’t hide anything from you. Okay, I’ll bring a few bottles of quality wine when I go visit you.”

Zhou Lie laughed complacently. “Of course. I was part of the army’s special ops after all, do you really think you could hide your little trick from me? Haha. Not to mention that when Lord Chu declared the deadly war and led three hundred thousand brave soldiers personally to fight Loulan, I was one of the front-liners, kid…”

It was originally a hearty conversation, but when Chu Feng heard the word ‘Lord Chu’, he paused the movement of his chopsticks, and his eyes became gloomy.
