Chapter 1740 - 1681: Dragon Gate Base
Song Xiaodong went to Australia, the Dark Night Sect is completely unaware, but here at Dragon Gate, everyone is on edge.
They all feel that Song Xiaodong's decision is too impulsive. If anything goes wrong, Song Xiaodong might get trapped by the Dark Night Sect, with their setup, it's a situation of no return for Song Xiaodong.
When Song Xiaodong boarded the plane back home, he sent a message to Dragon Gate, and only then did everyone at Dragon Gate breathe a long sigh of relief.
Song Xiaodong returned to Minghe, and the first step was to head to the temporary base of Dragon Gate.
Lin Feng and Cao Jianlong, the two elders, were waiting here.
"Young Master, you've finally returned." Despite Lin Feng's status as a general, at this moment, he showed an expression of relief.
Song Xiaodong said with a smile: "I made the two elders worried."
Cao Jianlong said with a stern face: "In the future, I don't want to see you act so impulsively again, you are the root of Dragon Gate, the core of Dragon Gate. If you encounter any issues, our Dragon Gate will be hard to revive."
Song Xiaodong said apologetically: "I know, but this time, apart from going myself, there was really no other good way, so I had no choice but to go."
"How did it go?" Lin Feng immediately asked.
Song Xiaodong said: "I've met Qingluan and told her about her identity."
"How did she respond?" Cao Jianlong asked excitedly.
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said: "She has agreed to contact me soon and then help me open the Dragon Gate Base."
Cao Jianlong and Lin Feng both breathed a sigh of relief, they did not question whether Qingluan's words were true.
Because before Song Xiaodong left, to convince them, he had detailed the relationship between him and Qingluan.
The two showed strong joy on their faces, Cao Jianlong clutched his chest and said: "Finally, we can return to Dragon Gate, which is our real home."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Yes, we have waited for more than twenty years for this day, now I can hardly wait."
"I still don't know what's inside Dragon Gate." Song Xiaodong seemed casual, but his gaze swept over the two.
Cao Jianlong laughed heartily and said: "Young Sect Master, the things inside Dragon Gate are definitely the best in the world, only when you get there can you see for yourself, nothing we say can fully capture the greatness of our Dragon Gate."
Lin Feng also nodded and said: "Indeed, Young Sect Master, that's the place where you were born, it's a pity you were too young to remember."
After a brief conversation, Cao Jianlong left, Lin Feng was about to leave too, but Song Xiaodong called him back.
Seeing Song Xiaodong close the door, with a solemn expression on his face, Lin Feng said: "Young Sect Master, is there something important?"
Song Xiaodong sat down in front of Lin Feng, stared into his eyes, and slowly said: "Elder Lin, I have a question in my mind."
"Young Sect Master, please go ahead." Lin Feng met Song Xiaodong's gaze.
"What is the ideal and goal of our Dragon Gate?"
Lin Feng's smile slowly spread on his face and he said: "What does the Young Sect Master think?"
Song Xiaodong said: "This is something I've never understood, if it's for money and profit, then our Dragon Gate already has more than enough. If for power, we also have plenty, these things cannot bring such cohesion to a sect, so there has to be a goal that goes beyond money and profit for people like you to keep striving for Dragon Gate."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "The Young Sect Master is correct, this is like a religion, without a core ideology, it's hard to unite so many people. Our Dragon Gate's core belief is quite special, and you might say it doesn't belong to the things of reality."
"Oh? Specifically what?" Song Xiaodong asked.
Lin Feng laughed again and said: "Young Sect Master, I'm not deliberately keeping you in suspense, but telling you now is not beneficial. Once you open the Dragon Gate Base, everything will become clear."
Song Xiaodong furrowed his brow and said: "I think my mental endurance shouldn't be weak, even if Elder Lin tells me now, I won't act rashly."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Young Sect Master, I understand that, but the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader have instructed that you need to explore and understand it yourself. If we tell you now, it will affect your growth."
Song Xiaodong's face darkened and said: "That's a reason I really can't argue against."
Lin Feng seriously nodded and said: "Young Sect Master, don't be impatient, I believe, once you understand the core belief of our Dragon Gate, you'll see that our Dragon Gate's vision is far beyond average religions."
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then what can I say, just wait then, but... don't we need to prepare anything in advance?"
Lin Feng immediately said: "Indeed, preparations need to be thorough, and firstly, we absolutely cannot let the Dark Night Sect know we are going to open the Dragon Gate Base, or they will definitely try to stop us from the outside."
Song Xiaodong said: "The Dark Night Sect is indeed a threat, what I want to know is, apart from me and the five princesses, do we need anyone else to open the Dragon Gate Base?"
