"Think about it, if the agents of Atlantis were really as worthless as you say, they wouldn’t have such a reputation in the world."
Hearing Song Xiangdong’s words, Scar showed a slight perplexity on his face. Scar had indeed thought about this before. After all, Atlantis agents were renowned worldwide, but the performance of these agents in front of them was idiotic.
"Maybe it’s because you are too excellent."
After saying this, Song Xiangdong burst into laughter, instantly breaking the previously somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
"Anyway, since you all are planning to take action, make sure you win. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to us. I guaranteed it to those old men."
Hearing Song Xiangdong go to such lengths, Scar naturally didn’t hesitate at all. Even though Song Xiangdong couldn’t see it, Scar still snapped a sharp salute.
After hanging up the phone, Scar turned around and saw his brothers with cold smiles on their faces.
"The director has ordered that since these guys have been exhausting themselves following us around, let’s let them have a good rest this time!"
Scar’s tone was calm, yet it sent chills down the spine. Those who Scar brought to Atlantis were his hardcore subordinates, who naturally understood Scar’s temper well.
Sure enough, upon hearing Scar’s words, their lips curled into cold smiles.
"Let’s make sure they never wake up!"
"He really won’t wake up, will he?"
At around four or five o’clock the next afternoon, it was probably the nth time Song Xiangdong had come to find Lin Beichen. But the only response from Fu Daoyi was that Lin Beichen fell asleep while reading and hadn’t woken up yet.
According to the orders from the elders, Song Xiangdong was to personally bring Lin Beichen back to the Imperial Capital, and if Lin Beichen had any needs, Song Xiangdong had to meet them to the best of his ability.
In other words, if Lin Beichen didn’t wake up, Song Xiangdong wouldn’t have any way to return to the Imperial Capital, as there were many matters waiting for him at the Security Bureau.
"What can I do? Maybe the kid is dream roaming."
Fu Daoyi shrugged with a helpless expression, and the term "dream roaming" irritated Song Xiangdong directly.
Of course, this was just a term used within the Daoist Sect, referring to people who can travel the world in their dreams to enhance their enlightenment. However, such people are as rare as phoenix feathers, and even if they appeared, they would only be considered to have a rich imagination.
But in the Daoist Sect records, there was once a Celestial Master who dream roamed for half a year. What was even more unbelievable was that this was not the longest recorded dream roaming time within the Daoist Sect.
"I suggest you be kinder!"
Song Xiangdong turned his head towards Fu Daoyi, gritted his teeth, and said each word with emphasis.
At this time, Lin Beichen didn’t know that his extended sleep almost started a fight between Song Xiangdong and Fu Daoyi.
After what happened yesterday and after reading for so long, Lin Beichen’s enlightenment had improved significantly. Both his physical and spiritual powers were severely drained.
For this reason, Lin Beichen wouldn’t wake up until his body fully recovered from physical and spiritual exhaustion.
An anxious Song Xiangdong sighed continuously. In the end, having no other option, he had someone bring a recliner and lay down in the courtyard outside Lin Beichen’s room, ensuring that he knew the moment Lin Beichen stepped out.
Normally, Song Xiangdong would rush into Lin Beichen’s room without hesitation, but now he considered many things and eventually chose to wait in the courtyard.
However, what Song Xiangdong didn’t know was that by choosing to wait in the courtyard, he missed many things. If he had rushed into the room, he would have seen Lin Beichen’s body constantly changing colors.
It wasn’t because Lin Beichen was poisoned or due to any supernatural reaction. It was simply because the elements within his body were alternately repairing his fatigue.
After what seemed like a long time, Lin Beichen slowly opened his eyes. Hunger radiated from his stomach, eventually spreading to his entire body.
Such a feeling made Lin Beichen very uncomfortable. However, he didn’t say much, just got up, intending to go to the cafeteria to get some food.
When Lin Beichen entered the courtyard, he saw Song Xiangdong asleep on the recliner. Seeing this scene, Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly, roughly guessing why Song Xiangdong was lying there.
"You’re finally awake!"
Song Xiangdong, ever the elite he once was in the army, even after being in a high position at the Security Bureau for so long, hadn’t lost his basic reflexes. The moment Lin Beichen stepped into the courtyard, he opened his eyes.
"Yes, I just woke up and I’m a bit hungry."
Lin Beichen’s face was full of grievance.
Although he did all this for Dragon Country and the higher-ups, when he opened his eyes, he didn’t see any food at the door. In Lin Beichen’s memory, if the protagonist in the movies slept in the room, there would always be food waiting at the door.
"You brat still know hunger. I’m hungrier than you!"
Song Xiangdong, in a bad mood, slapped Lin Beichen on the head and grabbed him, pulling him towards the cafeteria.
Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Fu Daoyi knew it must be Lin Beichen waking up!
Following the sound, Fu Daoyi indeed saw Song Xiangdong pulling Lin Beichen, the two of them striding toward the cafeteria.
Seeing this scene, Fu Daoyi felt secretly delighted. This was exactly how the Daoist Sect records described the awakening from a dream roam.
"This kid is truly fated with our Daoist Sect!"
Fu Daoyi exclaimed involuntarily, then slapped the Daoist next to him on the head.
"What are you standing here for? Go get the master chef and ask him to make something good for Lin Meichen!"
Although Fu Daoyi had never experienced a dream roam, he could guess that such sleep must consume a lot of energy. Otherwise, Lin Beichen wouldn’t be in such a hurry to go to the cafeteria.
The master chef Fu Daoyi mentioned was a renowned chef at Dragon Tiger Mountain. Not only was his Daoist skill profound, but his culinary skills were also impeccable. Even Song Xiangdong had been refused a taste of his cooking by Fu Daoyi.
Perhaps due to Fu Daoyi’s special instructions, the master chef cooked very quickly this time. Lin Beichen took a simple bite and let out a contented sigh, then began devouring the food.
After taking the first bite, Song Xiangdong also revealed a pleasing smile, but quickly showed an angry expression.
"Fu Daoyi, that bastard, really doesn’t respect me!"
While speaking, Song Xiangdong didn’t forget to slam the table hard, leaving Lin Beichen confused.
The food was clearly very tasty, but Song Xiangdong said Fu Daoyi didn’t respect him. Could it be that there were even better dishes at Dragon Tiger Mountain?
But now, Lin Beichen could hardly pay attention to this. In his eyes, there was nothing more important than eating to replenish his energy.
"You damned rascal dared to come. Didn’t you say the master chef was in seclusion earlier! Now tell me who cooked this!"
Seeing Fu Daoyi enter, Song Xiangdong grabbed a dish and moved towards him. Witnessing this, Lin Beichen finally understood why Song Xiangdong had been so angry earlier.
"Indeed, the master chef was in seclusion, but just as Lin Beichen woke up, the master chef also came out of seclusion. Isn’t that a coincidence?"
