Chapter 731 A Setback

Chapter 731 A Setback

At night, Gao Ge doesn’t want to sleep in Xia Lu’s room.

In fact, not only Xia Lu but also Gao Ge feels guilty.

Now, Meng Jing isn’t completely safe. Under the current circumstance, if he really wants to do something else with Xia Lu, it is really against his conscience.

Thus, he and Xia Lu both want to find Meng Jing as soon as possible and then talk about it.

Gao Ge doesn’t have the time to think about whether he will be deemed as a hypocrite.

He arrives at the high-speed train station early. Gao Ge doesn’t want to call anyone. He decides to get to the imperial capital first.

Unless he is pressed for time, he won’t choose to travel by plane.

Frankly, if anything wrong happens to the high-speed train, Gao Ge can still guarantee his own safety; on the contrary, if anything wrong happens to the plane, he can’t, at least for now.

He still likes to take control of his own life. As to the flying boat, he tries his best to avoid using it.

The train tickets were bought by Xia Lu last night.

Sitting on the train, Xia Lu rests her head on Gao Ge’s shoulder and sleeps well.

“When Meng Jing is back, we have to choose three seats in a row if we want to take a high-speed train. I sit in the middle so that you can rest your heads on either shoulder of me,” Gao Ge says in a low voice.

Xia Lu thumps Gao Ge’s chest with her fist.

Gao Ge turns aside and lowers his head to look at the fluttering eyelashes of Xia Lu. He grins and fantasizes about his happy life in the future.

Having arrived at the Imperial Capital South Station, they walk around and finally find the place to take a taxi. What’s worse, they have to pass the security check and line up. They queue up for almost an hour. There are advertisements of shampoos aside. Gao Ge remembers the commercial slogans. Facts prove that it is a good idea to advertise in a place where there is heavy traffic and people have to line up. After all, people have nothing to do but stare at the signboards while queuing up.

In the car, they tell the driver their destination. The taxi driver in the imperial capital is quite talkative. Gao Ge thought it was hearsay only. Now that he has got to experience it, he really understands it now. The driver talks about the Hutong, Lord Rabbit, the scenic spots and the traditional handicrafts in the imperial capital.

In the end, Gao Ge only feels that he has listened to a lesson.

When arriving at the destination, Gao Ge takes out the phone and makes a call. It is put through immediately.

“The driver doesn’t feel surprised at the place at all!” Seeing the building ahead, Gao Ge whispers to Xia Lu.

Xia Lu laughs, “What kind of people hasn’t the taxi driver of the imperial capital met?”

“That’s true.” Gao Ge nods.

Many people say that there are various talents in the imperial capital, which is so true. Walking in the street, one can run into a common middle-aged man who has a lot of titles. This cannot be seen in other places.

Soon, another car appears before Gao Ge and Xia Lu.

It is Lurking Dragon who gets off the car.

“Are you so idle?” Gao Ge feels a bit confused to see Lurking Dragon.

“I know you are here so I rushed here on purpose,” Lurking Dragon says with a smile.

Gao Ge feels even more perplexed, “Why do you think you can win my favor?”

Lurking Dragon is speechless.

Heaven Dragon coughs and says, “Get in the car first. You can even have a fight when we arrive.”

“Oh.”

They get in the car and the car runs for more than ten minutes. When it stops, Heaven Dragon says to Gao Ge, “This is the base of the Dragon Court in the imperial capital.”

“Okay.”

Heaven Dragon takes a look at Gao Ge and coughs, saying, “Come with me. It happens that someone wants to meet you.”

“Okay.”

Heaven Dragon pulls a long face, “Are you out of energy? Shall I refill your energy? Can you reply with a few more words?”

“Yes.”

Heaven Dragon is so speechless.

He stops talking with Gao Ge then. It is so infuriating to talk with Gao Ge.

Actually, Gao Ge knows that Lurking Dragon and Heaven Dragon are not bad people so he doesn’t hate them. Yet, he doesn’t like them either. They have their own scruples and thoughts but the way they do things just displeases Gao Ge. Actually, this is what the interpersonal relationship is like. Besides, one never makes friends with a man just because what he does is understandable.

Heaven Dragon is stationed in the imperial capital. As the principal of Haicheng Cultivation Academy, Lurking Dragon is supposed to stay in Haicheng City. Hence, Gao Ge finds it strange that he appears here.

Following the two of them, Gao Ge and Xia Lu also see quite some members of the Dragon Court, who greet Heaven Dragon and Lurking Dragon and mostly gaze at Gao Ge.

Gao Ge’s name is quite familiar to them. As far as they know, he has done a lot of astonishing things. What surprises them most is that Gao Ge should be able to live up to now, which is a miracle to them.

When the two of them stop, Heaven Dragon turns around and says to Gao Ge, “Go inside.”

“What about her?”

“She stays outside,” Heaven Dragon says and then adds, “It is the arrangement of the one inside.”

Gao Ge nods and doesn’t say anything more. Xia Lu also says to Heaven Dragon, “Lord Heaven Dragon, can I take a tour around?”

“Sure. Let me show you around.” Heaven Dragon laughs.

When they leave, Gao Ge reaches out his hand to grip the doorknob of the metal door and pushes open the door gently.

The interior of the room is different from the metallic feeling outside. The floor is made of wood. So are the desks and the chairs. If they are all made of metal, the room will look like a prison then.

An old man is sitting on a chair. Gao Ge has seen his photo before. In fact, when he was outside, he had guessed the identity of the man in here.

Yue Xincheng has met him. It is not a strange thing that he meets the man now.

“You are here?”

“Yes, I am.”

The old man waves at Gao Ge and says with a smile, “Good. You look quite handsome.”

Gao Ge laughs, “I feel the same way.”

The old man suddenly feels a bit uncomfortable.

He has never met such an immodest man before.

After Gao Ge sits down, the old man pours a cup of tea for him.

Gao Ge picks up the cup and asks, “Is it special supply tea?”

“It costs 100 yuan per kilogram.”

Gao Ge puts down the teacup.

He acts so decisively.

The old man is taken aback then.

He thinks about it and asks in a low voice, “Do you know who I am?”

“Heaven Dragon and the others didn’t tell me but I’ve guessed it. You are Lord Dragon King!” Gao Ge says smilingly.

“And you still…” Dragon King is a bit confused.

If Gao Ge didn’t know who he was, Gao Ge’s reaction would be understandable. However, since Gao Ge has known who he is and still acts so calmly, he feels quite surprised.

“What should I do then? Do I have to kowtow to you?” Gao Ge ventures to ask.

Dragon King nods his head and sits up straight, “Come on then.”

Gao Ge is lost for words.

Oh no! Here he meets a setback!
