Sky-cracking Rider

Having someone send a message, when the Chen Family Disciple arrived, Chen Haiqing said, "Old Lin, over the past twenty years, you've always been elusive like a dragon seen but not its tail. We old friends rarely see you, and you, the 'Lord of the Sky,' have been too low-key. Those who don't know might even think you've entered the coffin, and in a few more years, people might forget you."

The nickname "Lord of the Sky" originated from Chen Haiqing and the other old friends, encapsulating two meanings.

One refers to the ruler of the skies, where the earliest Sky Knights and Crystal Jets had deep connections with Lin Mo.

The other refers to Cangqiong Star, seen as the common lord of all forces on the planet, the man behind Queen Slan, and his relationship with the Dragon Clan.

Lin Mo was not at all upset; instead, he smiled and said, "Haha, the bird that sticks out gets shot, one must stay low-key. Though peace has reigned for a long time, one cannot be careless. A low-profile me holds the situation better than a high-profile me."

"You old fox, the older you get, the craftier your thoughts become, completely lacking the youthful vigor when you would just start fighting at the slightest disagreement. That was truly thrilling."

Chen Haiqing pointed at Lin Mo and shook his head smiling.

More than thirty years had passed, things changed, and they were no longer the young men filled with daring and vigor. Less impulsive, more stable, less assertive, more calculating, barely recognizable.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

"Dad!"

Five young men arrived before Chen Haiqing and Lin Mo.

One of them had that same little bird on his shoulder which had greedily absorbed the pure Light Elements in the light rain just before.

"Boys, let me introduce..."

Chen Haiqing started, but was interrupted by the youngsters.

"Hey, Uncle Lin!"

"Great to see you, Uncle Lin Mo!"

"Uncle Lin, what brings you here?"

Given the relationship between Chen Haiqing and Lin Mo, it was rare for the disciples of Chen Family Gate not to know Lin Family's past generation's head, the last Dragon Knight, Lin Mo.

But really seeing this uncle was hard; big shots are always like that, always the last to arrive, the first to leave, never staying long.

"This is my cousin Chen Shi, the eldest of Chen Haishang's family, 26 years old, got married last year. Next to him is their Second Brother, Chen Fei, the Pure Light Sparrow belongs to him. Next is my second cousin's eldest son, Chen Guang..."

As Chen Haiqing was introducing the current generation of Chen Family Disciple youths to his old friend Lin Mo, Chen Fei standing amidst the four brothers couldn't help but widen his eyes.

System: Ding! Slay the Dragon Knight Lin Mo (Mo Lin), receive Energy Points 9999999!

Crap!

Dog System, you really dare to dream!!!

The person in front of me is the "Lord of the Sky"!

Blink and I could be obliterated by such an ultimate character, what grounds do I have to slay him?

Even if I were sick of living, I couldn't pick this kind of death!

Dog System, show yourself! Who gave you the confidence, no, the gall!

But 9999999, let me count, seven nines, nearly ten million Energy Points, probably enough to sweep through the Dog System's Skill Shop, achieving personal Skill freedom, huh?

Emmm...Genuine Fragrance!

But I dare not, truly dare not!

Not to mention the relationship between Lin Mo and the Chen Family, where does one get the approval for acting against an elder, it's downright unfilial.

"Hmm, very good, all of you are future young talents!"

After listening to Chen Haiqing's introduction, Lin Mo nodded, then said, "Sorry guys, I must be going!"

"Ah? What? You just got here, how, how can you be leaving already?"

Chen Haiqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

This sudden statement from the old friend really caught him off guard.

"Can't help it, a special situation!"

Lin Mo spoke words within words; if everyone is astute, they should be able to catch something.

Chen Haiqing, looking very serious and concerned, tentatively asked, "Could it be... is it already very serious?"

He could not imagine what kind of huge problem could make his old friend Lin Mo so wary; it was definitely not about not giving face but rather a kind of well-intended protection, clearly not wanting to drag the Chen family into trouble.

Even the "Lord of the Sky" had reservations, perhaps the Chen Family Gate might not be able to hold up.

"Hahaha, don't worry, it hasn't come to that yet. I'm just, uh, taking precautions, just in case, brother. Take care of yourself."

Lin Mo raised his hand and then threw a punch at his old buddy Chen Haiqing's chest.

"Cough, cough, are you trying to kill me?! Cough cough, that was a hard punch."

Chen Haiqing's old face turned red, he was gasping for breath, having been hit quite hard.

"Haha, I went a bit too hard. Sorry, sorry. I'll let the Pure Light Sparrow perform a Light Healing Technique on you later. That's the Pure Light Sparrow's special skill. Haiqing, we'll chat some other time."

Lin Mo showed a remorseful expression. He had just turned around when he saw the bride Chen Meizhi and groom Tang Xingzhong approaching, followed by a group of excited and thrilled bridesmaids and groomsmen.

"Uncle Lin, please have a drink before you go!"

"Uncle, please have a drink!"

The couple had been paying attention to their old father Chen Haiqing and Lin Mo, even putting aside greeting other guests for the moment.

Lin Mo nodded vigorously, smiling as he said, "Alright, alright, I definitely must have this celebratory drink. Even if I'm leaving, I'll drink it before I go."

The newlywed couple brought the drinks and proposed a toast first.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

"Good, good kids!"

Lin Mo downed the drink in one gulp, returned the glass, and strode away.

Moments later, a silver light soared into the sky from the manor's entrance, and the man and dragon vanished again, as if they had never been there.

"Brother Fei, use your special ability to heal my dad well; I'm going ahead!"

Chen Haiqing's younger son, Chen Shan, patted Chen Fei's shoulder, not forgetting to keep pressing his point before he dashed off.

Only Wood System ability users had healing abilities; Light-Based Ability Users didn't have access to Light Healing Spells like Light System Casters.

Although they were all ability users, special abilities, magic, and Battle Qi still had many differences.

The other brothers left in succession. After all, the wedding was not yet over, and there were still many tasks that needed their help.

Chen Fei said to the little bird on his shoulder, 'Xiao Jiu, give uncle two Light Healing Techniques.'

What kind of ridiculous ability, being able to command a bird?

"Jiu!"

The little bird immediately responded, flapping its small wings to fly onto Chen Haiqing's broad shoulder. The little guy was naturally fearless, not shy around people at all.

From its tiny beak, a point of light was emitted, quickly expanding to the size of a ping-pong ball. Nodding its head lightly, the light orb fell and directly entered Chen Haiqing's chest.

However, Chen Haiqing's attention was not focused on the Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu and the Light Healing Technique. Instead, he sized up Chen Fei and suddenly said, "Xiao Fei, don't worry about the Merman Brothers Consortium. Hanna Gagar is a good person and will be a fine boss. You can learn a lot from her in the coming years."

"Huh?!"

Chen Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This statement from his uncle carried too much information. He had been, had been keeping an eye on him all this time.

"Hahahaha, you are a disciple of the Chen Family, and I am your uncle, how could I possibly know nothing? Your father is soft on the outside but tough on the inside, a very stubborn person, although he wouldn't admit it. The five million Star Yuan I prepared for your family ended up not being needed. Well done, Xiao Fei."

Admiration filled Chen Haiqing's eyes.

Seeing Chen Fei speechless with shock, he continued, "My flight call sign when I was young was 'Three Yellow Chickens', and yours is 'Rookie'. We've always been relatives, haven't we? If I hadn't been busy managing National Defense Star, I probably would have become the first generation of Sky Knights."

After speaking, his face showed a wistful expression, reminiscing about the glorious past. Unfortunately, he was no longer young and could only place his hopes on the younger generation.

It so happened that his fourth cousin inexplicably became a pilot, which both surprised and pleased Chen Haiqing.

Chicken is a bird, and Rookie is a bird, whether it's call signs or real-life blood relations, they really were relatives.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

Chen Fei suddenly recalled.

The truce by Merman Brothers Consortium came a bit too neatly.

In front of National Defense Star Aerospace Company, the fourth largest manufacturer and developer of combat aircraft on Blue Star, many military contractors appeared like giants, an industry giant ranked eighth, yet Merman Brothers Consortium was far from comparable.

Not to speak of the Merman Brothers Consortium, even the industry No.1 had to follow the lead of National Defense Star.

Only the Blue Star United Defense Committee was on equal footing with National Defense Star.
