Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 656

Just as usual, Chu Tianxiong worked until very late at night in his study. He had just finished vetting a stack of documents half his height.

He gazed at the flickering candlelight in front of him. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Weng Bo gently opened the door and brought him a plate of exquisite-looking tarts and cupcakes. "Lord Chu, are you still thinking about Master Feng?"

Since a few days ago, he had been persuading Chu Tianxiong to visit Chu Feng, at least for the sake of Duo Duo.

He did not expect both father and son to be equally stubborn. What could have been a happy family reunion ended in disappointment.

Chu Tianxiong came to his senses and said, "Weng Bo, is it true that fathers always find it hard to communicate with their sons?"

"There's a saying in my hometown. 'Rivals in the past life, family in this life,'" Weng Bo said. "Master Feng is a reasonable boy. I'm sure you'll eventually get through to him. It's just a matter of time."

Chu Tianxiong did not reply. He ate a few cupcakes and began to read a proposal.

He picked up the cup of tea Weng Bo had prepared for him and took a sip without looking. Instead of the usual bitterness, he tasted a light floral sweetness in his mouth and throat. That immediately made him feel relaxed.

"This herbal tea is delicious, Weng Bo. Did you get it from some medicinal expert?" Chu Tianxiong was quite happy. Only a master practitioner could concoct such a recipe.

Weng Bo quickly took the letter from the soldier's hands. Chu Tianxiong opened the envelope and immediately frowned.

"Emergency missive from Xi Ye border command center: Xi Xia has repeatedly invaded our borders. In a skirmish yesterday, our forces suffered 17 deaths and 36 injuries. Xi Xia has also announced economic sanctions against Donghua."

"Looks like they really want war," Chu Tianxiong mumbled to himself while tapping the table with his knuckles. "Xi Xia and Donghua had been enemies for centuries. They have been preparing for retaliation since their last defeat. If it were up to them, I'm sure they would want to take over the entire country."

Weng Bo seemed unperturbed. "They're only a bunch of clowns. When Master Feng was in command of Xi Ye, they knew how to stay in their lane. Now that they're itching for a fight, they must be taught a lesson."
