Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight spilled in. Li Tiandao opened his eyes, feeling half of his body slightly numb from the weight on him. Looking at the gorgeous woman who was sleeping soundly, almost entirely draped on him, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Her long, burgundy hair exuded sexiness, her delicate features were alluring, and her soft, delicate skin seemed to be dripping with moisture. Who could imagine that this was the most cold-hearted woman in the world of mercenaries?

Shui Linglong was currently laying in a man's bed, in such a manner, no less.

Li Tiandao gazed tenderly at his woman, gently caressing her hair and then slowly sliding his hand downwards. Shui Linglong's eyelashes fluttered, and with a smack, she slapped his hand away, letting out a soft chuckle.

Li Tiandao also chuckled and said, "I just saw an ant on you, wanted to shake it off for you."

Shui Linglong moved her leg from Li Tiandao, raised a finger, lightly touching Li Tiandao's lips with her fingertip.

Her enchanting eyes, full of laziness and allure, let out an enticing chuckle. Her voice seduced all the way to the bone, "The boss of one of the world's top three organizations can also tell lies. Brother Dao, aren't you ashamed?"

Li Tiandao gently hugged Shui Linglong, giving her a naughty smile, "Brother Dao has a distinctive trait - in front of his woman, he never knows what being shy means."

Just then, the cellphone on the bedside table unexpectedly rang. Li Tiandao picked it up and crawled back under the covers. Shui Linglong also squeezed into the blanket, curling up next to Li Tiandao, resting on his arm.

Li Tiandao glanced at the number displayed on the incoming call. His expression suddenly became very strange. Unable to curb her curiosity, Shui Linglong took a peek and asked, "Old head? Who's this old head?"

Li Tiandao replied with a bitter smile, "It's my master."

Shui Linglong's mouth formed an "O", then urged him, "Why not answer it quickly?"

Although Shui Linglong had heard Li Tiandao mention his master before, he never elaborated, and she never asked if he didn't share.

But that didn't stop her curiosity about this. After all, Li Tiandao was the top man on the Dragon List, the architect behind one of the world's most terrifying groups, the 'Royal Guardsmen', and one of the two most veiled princelings of China, Tiandao, Young Master Li - all these were his aliases.

What kind of a man was able to cultivate such a radiant individual?

Li Tiandao continued to smile bitterly, "This master of mine, he adopted me when I was eight years old and taught me kung fu. At the age of eighteen, he kicked me out and told me, 'A man should make his own way in the world!' It's been four years since then. In these four years, he has only called me twice on his own initiative, and it was never good news."

Seeing the hurt expression on the face of this king of the mercenary world, Shui Linglong couldn't help but satisfy her curiosity, "What happened those two times?"

"The first time, he saw the British princess on TV, wearing a sexy outfit that revealed her black underwear."

Shui Linglong couldn't help but laugh, "Your master liked the see-through outfit?"

"No, he was interested in the black underwear the princess was wearing. He pressured me into stealing it for him. As for the second time, let's not talk about that. I hope it won't be anything troublesome this time."

Li Tiandao picked up the phone. The moment he did, a very displeased roar came from the other side, "You stinking boy, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Li Tiandao quickly moved the phone away from his ear for a moment then brought it back, grumbling, "Master, we should not fear failure, but cherish every opportunity for success. I'm sure it won't be good news."

The old man laughed awkwardly with uncertainty, "Actually, I kinda missed you, my precious disciple. As you know, you are my only disciple. Who else would I call if not you?"

A wave of melancholy suddenly surged in Li Tiandao. The old man continued, "On one hand, I am concerned about how you are now, whether you are eating well, whether you are warm, whether there are any girls around you. When will you bring a chubby kid back to me? On the other hand, there is actually something I want you to help me with."

Sigh, I knew all that concern was just empty talk. Master, you have tricked me twice before, making me steal women's underwear. Can you stoop any lower! This time you can forget about deceiving me. The US is about to go to war with Isis, the Asian Economic Forum is about to start, and the European Beauty Pageant is also about to take place. I am very busy recently and don't have time. Hello, hello, can you hear me? Where did you go?"

The old man's tone suddenly became very low, no longer the same lighthearted teasing as before, with an inexplicable emotion hidden within, "I found my son."

Li Tiandao's hand holding the phone began to tremble. The old man had found his long-lost biological son. In theory, Li Tiandao should have been happy for him.

But there was an inexplicable discomfort in his heart. Since he was eight years old, Li Tiandao had been adopted by the old man, dependent on each other for survival. He had long regarded the old man as his only family in the world. Now, the old man had found his real son, and there was a faint sense of loss in Li Tiandao.

This sense of loss was fleeting, though. Li Tiandao quickly expressed his joy for the old man, "Master, congratulations on finding your family. But why don't you sound happy? Shouldn't finding a lost family member be a reason to be happy?"

"They both are no longer alive."

Li Tiandao was stunned, "Gone? What do you mean?"

"They, the husband and wife, died in a car accident a few years ago. Now, they left behind two daughters, a son, and an apartment."

Li Tiandao was taken aback. He never expected that the old man had been waiting for all these years, only to receive such sorrowful news. It's heart-wrenching!

Li Tiandao was wondering how to console the old man, he hesitated and then voiced, "Old man…"

"It's okay, there's no need to comfort me. I've seen my fair share of life and death in my life. After a few good drinks and in a few years, we father and son will meet in another world. Right now, I just can't let go of the children they left behind, my grandchildren."

"You can go and find them."

"Do I deserve to?"

"But you're their grandfather!"

"You don’t understand." The old man sighed, "I let them down. If I hadn't been so stubborn twenty years ago... Tiandao, there's something I would like to ask of you."

Li Tiandao replied solemnly, "Go ahead."

"I want you to go to Sanjiang City and look after these children for me."

Li Tiandao was stunned, "I’ll go and look after the children for you?"

"Yes, the eldest sister's name is Su Xiaoyan, the second one is Su Xiaomei, and the youngest, a boy, is called Su Chao. Since my poor son and his wife died in a car accident, Xiaoyan has been working outside to support her siblings' education. Her younger brother, Su Chao, is in high school and the second sister, Xiaomei, is studying at the local Zijinghua University."

"The boy can be a bit rebellious, it doesn't matter much. But what I’m worried about now is Xiaomei, the second one. She has a rebellious nature. Even though she listens to her elder sister very much, but her sister is rarely at home, thus no one can discipline her."

"After inquiring, I found out that she often skips classes, and even often goes to places like KTVs and discos at night. She even goes car racing with some unsavory characters. If she continues to be naughty like this, she’s bound to go astray someday."

Li Tiandao broke out in a cold sweat. There really are such rebellious young girls in the world.

"So, I want you to help me find a way to guide her onto the right path. Of course, you can also send one of your trustworthy subordinates over there. Hehe, there's not a single easy one in this Royal Guard you’ve put together. Their sister is going out again and won't be coming home for a while. She plans to rent out a room in their apartment, I've already rented it for you. You or someone else you delegate can move in directly. But remember, don't mention me."

Shui Linglong quietly climbed down from Li Tiandao, put on her pajamas, got out of bed, and turned on the computer.

Li Tiandao smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, you really do act first and report later!"

"You refuse?"

"I agree. I'll go myself. Who makes her your beloved granddaughter?" Li Tiandao paused for a moment, then continued, "But, old man, how should I control your naughty granddaughter with what identity? Why would she listen to me?"

"I’ve thought about it for you. Currently, there’s a vacancy for a class teacher in Xiaomei's class. With your current influence, it’s a piece of cake to become a class teacher, right? Don't blame me for not reminding you, those little girls in the school, each of them is tender and pretty. By then, as the class teacher, you will be qualified to restrain her both at school and home."

In Li Tiandao's mind, countless beautiful scenes of schoolgirls wearing uniforms fluttered, he said seriously, "I’m not the type who would hurt our country's flowers. Alright, I got it. I’ll let you know when everything is settled."

After hanging up the call, Shui Linglong, who was messing with the computer, turned her head to look at Li Tiandao and smiled, "Brother Dao, I've already booked your flight to Sanjiang City tomorrow morning. You can return home tomorrow."

"You knew I would agree?"

Shui Linglong got up, crawled back onto the bed, her exquisite body lied on top of Li Tiandao, her eyes filled with laughter, she said softly, "Of course, because I am your woman. After you go back to the country, remember to be safe. I will have our people keep your return a secret. Also, on the end of our contacts in the Sanjiang City Department of Education, they can help you get in at the Zijinghua University. Be sure to remember safety."

Li Tiandao kissed Shui Linglong's mouth as the best reward for this woman who has always followed and deeply loves herself.
