Chapter 1178 Xiao Ming?
Dong Ming finally saw Chen Xuan's face clearly, and his expression instantly became extremely excited.
Captain!
It's really his captain!
He never expected to encounter his captain here. He was simply too lucky. With this luck, if he bought a lottery ticket, he would definitely win five million. He felt he had never been so lucky in his life.
"Seeking death? Heh heh, why don't you ask your Dong Tianwang, am I right?"
Chen Xuan sneered, looking at Lin Yu with a playful smile.
Lin Yu's mouth twitched, and then he sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Would I ask such an idiotic question?"
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Dong Ming said, "This gentleman makes a lot of sense. My attitude just now was indeed incorrect!"
His faint voice was filled with apology, and even Dong Ming's gaze towards Chen Xuan held some respect.
As soon as this was said, the surroundings fell silent, and only the sound of gasping could be heard.
Everyone stared at Dong Ming in a daze. What did this mean?
Lin Yu's arrogant expression froze on his face, replaced by one of surprise.
Why would the famous Dong Tianwang say such a thing?
Good heavens, has the world gone mad?
Could it be that Dong Ming knows Chen Xuan?
Many people had this question in their minds, but they simply couldn't imagine how the renowned Dong Tianwang would know Chen Xuan.
Illusion!
It must be an illusion!
Officer Yan chuckled, "Dong Tianwang is truly broad-minded and humble. I truly admire you!"
Lin Yu was also taken aback. So it was Dong Tianwang's high character. He glanced at Chen Xuan and said, "Look at Dong Tianwang, who is in a high position yet so humble, unlike some people who just talk big!"
"Enough!"
Dong Ming's eyes turned cold, and he spoke with a thunderous voice, glaring at Lin Yu.
How dare you insult the Xuan Yi War Venerable! If it weren't for the fact that we are currently in Xia Country, you would have died ten thousand times over!
Lin Yu saw Dong Ming's fierce gaze and trembled all over. It was a tremor from his soul!
He stammered, daring not to say another word, "I... I understand..."
"Without further ado, let's set off to capture the Nine-Headed Dragon," Dong Ming said immediately.
Lin Yu stepped forward and said respectfully, "I, Lin Yu, am a fifth-rank martial arts venerate and am willing to volunteer to serve Dong Tianwang!"
But Dong Ming didn't even look at Lin Yu. Instead, he looked at Chen Xuan and Xie Wei and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll trouble the two of you to accompany me to capture the Nine-Headed Dragon."
Xie Wei was flattered, his expression changed slightly, and he said cautiously, "What are you saying, sir? I'll go in with you!"
Then Dong Ming glanced at Chen Xuan, naturally waiting for Chen Xuan's reply.
Finally, after seeing Chen Xuan nod slightly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he stood there motionless.
Seeing Chen Xuan walk towards the abandoned building, Dong Ming followed him step by step, but always kept half a step behind him.
Moreover, Dong Ming would show a fawning smile every time he saw Chen Xuan. It wasn't that Dong Ming did it intentionally; it was a habit from years of following Chen Xuan. He was used to standing by Chen Xuan's side, and he couldn't change it even now.
Even though he was the renowned Dong Tianwang, he was still him—a small soldier under the Xuan Yi War Venerable!
"Is this an illusion?"
Officer Yan seemed to notice Dong Ming's somewhat unusual attitude towards Chen Xuan and said doubtfully.
Lin Yu felt even more disgraced.
He had originally wanted to volunteer and impress Dong Tianwang, gaining capital for bragging rights in the future, and also earning merit for nothing. After all, with Dong Tianwang present, he wouldn't have to exert himself.
But he never expected Dong Tianwang to directly reject him and instead choose his mortal enemy Xie Wei and that live-in son-in-law Chen Xuan from the Su family in the provincial capital.
This was undoubtedly a major blow to him.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he sneered, "Officer Yan, this is not an illusion at all. It's clearly that Dong Tianwang wants to punish these two who tried to ruin his good deeds."
"What do you mean?"
Officer Yan looked puzzled.
"Officer Yan, think about it. Those two just said what they said, clearly angering Dong Tianwang. That kid even yelled at Dong Tianwang. Dong Tianwang didn't say anything to save face, but in reality, he must be very angry."
Lin Yu sneered, "As a big figure, Dong Tianwang naturally wouldn't deal with a small person openly. Isn't this making them his subordinates? As for what happens next, one can imagine."
Officer Yan retorted, "You mean Dong Tianwang is using this opportunity to deal with them?"
Lin Yu immediately nodded.
Officer Yan pondered for a moment and also nodded slightly, feeling that Lin Yu's words made a lot of sense.
He sighed and said, "The Su family in this provincial capital has truly soared to success. However, if Dong Tianwang really intends to kill that live-in son-in-law from the Su family, even if they have transformed into a phoenix, without evidence, they probably can't trouble the Dragon Soul War Team!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled sinisterly.
Chen Xuan, Xie Wei, heh heh, don't blame others. Blame yourselves for being too arrogant, or you wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament!
As soon as they entered the abandoned building, a chill swept over them.
In Chen Xuan's eyes, he could see a pervasive murderous aura surging towards them like a spring. However, others couldn't see it. Xie Wei only felt as if he had entered an ice cellar. In the heat of the day, he couldn't help but shiver, his teeth chattering.
He looked around. The situation was complicated, and he didn't know where to go. He subconsciously regarded Dong Ming as the main pillar and asked, "Dong Tianwang, where do we go?"
When he asked this, Xie Wei was extremely cautious.
He also felt that Dong Ming brought them in perhaps because he wanted them to be cannon fodder.
"How should I know? Ask Brother Xuan!"
Dong Tianwang rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
If the previous Dong Ming was a high-profile celebrity in Hollywood, then now he was a genuine commoner. His arrogant demeanor had also softened considerably.
"Oh, then I'll ask Brother Xuan..."
Brother Xuan, who else could it be? Among the three of them, only Chen Xuan's name had "Xuan." Without a doubt, this Brother Xuan was Chen Xuan.
Xie Wei subconsciously looked at Chen Xuan, seeming to realize something, and then his mouth instantly widened. This famous Dong Tianwang called Chen Xuan "Brother Xuan"...
Am I hallucinating?
I don't think I'm that old, do I?
He turned his head to look at Chen Xuan and saw Dong Tianwang and Chen Xuan with their arms around each other's shoulders. Dong Tianwang was smiling fawningly, while Chen Xuan had a look of disdain, as if he were disdainful of his own dog wagging its tail.
His eyes widened instantly. He thought it was an illusion, but all of this was real. Was this the confidence Chen Xuan had just now?
"Brother Xuan, what do we do next?" Dong Ming asked, swallowing hard.
"Naturally, we should listen to Dong Tianwang," Chen Xuan said with a playful smile.
Dong Ming almost choked to death. He chuckled, "Brother Xuan, please don't joke. What Tianwang, it's all nonsense people say. You can just call me Xiao Ming."
Xiao Ming?
The famous Dong Tianwang, whom they revered immensely, became Xiao Ming in front of Chen Xuan?
Xie Wei almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
