"Don't worry, young friend Chu Feng. As long as Jia Lingyi is truly at Long Lin's place, I will definitely bring her back alive. There's no need for you to go yourself..."
The Totem Dragon Clan Chief tried to dissuade him.
But before he could finish, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Senior, even if you don't bring me along, I'll go on my own."
"It's not just because of Jia Lingyi."
"Don't forget — your son and daughter are my friends."
"Their affairs are my affairs."
"If I truly didn't know about it, that would be one thing."
"But now that I'm right here, wouldn't I be a coward if I didn't go?"
"This..."
Hearing these words, the Totem Dragon Clan Chief looked troubled.
But Long Chengyu and Long Muxi, the brother and sister, exchanged glances, looking even more conflicted.
They had originally wanted to fight alongside their father through life and death — after all, they were family.
But if Chu Feng was getting involved too, they both hesitated. Neither of them wanted to drag Chu Feng down.
Long Chengyu hesitated for a moment, then looked up at his father. "Father, maybe I shouldn't go after all."
Long Muxi quickly followed: "I could stay behind too."
"Uh..."
Seeing this scene, the Totem Dragon Clan Chief didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Of course he didn't want his children to go — it was genuinely dangerous.
But their determination to stand with him through thick and thin still touched his heart.
At the very least, it proved his children were filial.
But now it seemed the bonds of brotherhood were truly something. Did the weight of a friend somehow outweigh that of a father?
Seeing this, Chu Feng couldn't help but smile. He understood what Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were planning, so he asked: "Are you two really not going?"
"Really not going," the siblings answered in unison.
"Even if you two don't go, I'm still going," Chu Feng said.
"What?" Long Chengyu and Long Muxi looked surprised.
"Like I said, it's not just because of Jia Lingyi — but it is partly because of Jia Lingyi."
"So I'm definitely going," Chu Feng said.
"You..." Long Chengyu and Long Muxi both looked exasperated.
"Alright, alright, alright, enough. What's there to argue about?"
"What my brother decides, no one — no one — can stop. If you won't bring us along, we'll go anyway."
At this point, Wang Qiang spoke up, implying he would be going as well.
"I'm going too." Bai Yunqing immediately declared.
"Then I'm going too."
Long Chengyu and Long Muxi said in unison.
"You younger generation really don't make things easy, do you." The Totem Dragon Clan Chief was helpless, but he said: "Fine. Since it's come to this, we'll travel together."
He conceded, though he didn't think it was necessarily a bad thing.
In fact, if Chu Feng was going to tag along, it actually gave him a bit more confidence.
After all, it had been Chu Feng who saved them before.
Chu Feng's surface-level cultivation was indeed of no help in a war of this scale.
But the Totem Dragon Clan Chief still vividly remembered Chu Feng's performance from before.
That kind of power was simply unfathomable.
Who knew whether Chu Feng still harbored that kind of power within him.
If he did, then it would be nearly impossible for them to lose this battle.
The Totem Dragon Clan members all seemed to have been waiting for this day.
