Chapter Index

    Long Chen followed the sound and saw Tang Waner waving to him cordially in the crowd.

    Long Chen was stunned. It seemed that Tang Wan’er rarely looked kindly to him. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have never done so. This made him very uncomfortable.

    But when he saw Qing Yu next to Tang Wan’er, Long Chen immediately understood something. Even though he didn’t want to, he had to bite the bullet and go there.

    “Hello, Sister Qingyu.” Long Chen could only smile and greet Qingyu.

    Tang Wan’er said that what she fears most is this sister Qingyu. Qingyu is actually her maid, but she is very kind to her. She treats her as her own sister.

    But the only problem with this Qingyu is that she loves to nag too much, which can drive people crazy. So Tang Wan’er is both in love with and afraid of her.

    Originally, Qingyu was telling Tang Wan’er something. Suddenly Long Chen arrived. Tang Wan’er felt for the first time that Long Chen looked so cute and handsome, so she called him over.

    “Long Chen. I heard that you got into a fight with someone again. Are you okay?” Qing Yu couldn’t help but feel slightly annoyed when she saw Long Chen.

    She raised her hand gently and gently picked off a piece of grass clippings stained on Long Chen’s hair. Originally, Long Chen felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that this action was too intimate, so he wanted to step back.

    But there is no impurity in the eyes when looking at Qingyu. It is like pure lake water. It makes people feel more friendly.

    He helped Long Chen remove the grass clippings from his hair, and gently helped Long Chen tidy up his collar: “I heard from Wan’er that you are powerful in battle, but we are here to practice in the other courtyard.

    If you don’t encounter something too extreme, you should be patient if you can. After all, you are brave and fierce…”

    I don’t know why. Feeling Qingyu’s gentle movements, Long Chen suddenly thought of his mother. When she was young, she also used such gentle movements to help him tidy up his messy hair.

    He still remembered that at that time, his mother was very young and very beautiful, just like Sapphire now.

    But as he grew up day by day, his mother became older day by day. The past memories made me feel a little sour in my heart. I felt like tears were about to fall.

    At the same time, he could also feel Qingyu’s kindness and concern from the heart. No wonder Tang Waner, with her temperament, would always tolerate her. It was an emotion that could not be let go.

    Seeing Long Chen’s arrival, Tang Wan’er finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally relax for a while. However, Long Chen’s eyes were slightly red and he couldn’t help but be a little stunned.

    Guo Ran couldn’t help but feel funny when he saw that Long Chen, who was so arrogant just now and kicked a strong man to the ground, could act like a good boy and listen to a woman’s teachings.

    Although Long Chen was moved in his heart, it was a bit uncomfortable to be constantly being lectured. Suddenly he saw Guo Ran snickering from the side. He couldn’t help but get angry:

    “Guo Ran. Come here.”

    “Boss, what’s the matter?” Guo Ran quickly put away his smile and said seriously.

    Long Chen said to Qingyu: “Sister Qingyu, I think what you said is very reasonable. Every word is very thought-provoking. But I have a bad memory.

    Let me introduce you. This is my brother. He is a famous memory master. He never forgets what he has heard.

    So if you want to teach me some good advice, just tell him. He will sort it out and write it down in his notebook.

    This way, even if my sister is no longer around, I can still study the warnings she left and listen to her teachings all the time.”

    Guo Ran couldn’t help being dumbfounded when he heard this. Who am I provoking? Qingyu’s eyes lit up when she heard what Long Chen said:

    “I didn’t expect you to be so smart, Long Chen. This is a good way to get twice the result with half the effort. Your name is Guo Ran, right. Well, you have to remember clearly what I’m going to say next. It may be a bit long. If you can’t remember, you can tell me. I’ll say it again. Okay. Now let’s start with bravery and ruthlessness…” Qingyu pulled Guo Ran aside and began to really explain.

    Long Chen pretended that he couldn’t see Guo Ran’s resentful eyes. Who made you gloat about his misfortune? Let us brothers share the blessings and share the hardships.

    “Bad guy. Why are you so smart?” Tang Waner walked up to Long Chen. Her beautiful eyes were full of surprise.

    “When Sister Qingyu educates me again in the future, I can use this method. It’s really great.”

    When Long Chen saw Tang Wan’er staring at him, he couldn’t help but said, “I’m telling you. Don’t pay attention to me.”

    “Tch. Do I deserve to slap your attention?” Tang Wan’er said disdainfully with the corners of her mouth raised.

    Long Chen felt relieved now. He said seriously: “Have all the people been counted?”

    Tang Wan’er said with a slightly gloomy face: “We have counted. Most of them have arrived. However, a few people had accidents and died in the trial.”

    “How could that happen?” Long Chen said in shock.

    “In my team, there were two very talented applicants who were accidentally pushed into the water when they were crossing the river. As a result…” Tang Wan’er couldn’t help gritting her teeth when she said this.

    Long Chen understood it as soon as he heard it. I’m afraid it wasn’t an accident. It was intentional. He asked, “Who did it.”

    “Someone reported to me that it was Qi Xin’s men who did it. They were all crowded on a raft at that time, and most of them were on that raft.

    At that time, the raft suddenly cracked, and people panicked. Immediately, several people fell into the river, including those two people,” Tang Wan’er said.

    “This is a malicious killing. Other hospitals don’t care.” Long Chen couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t even think about it. This was definitely a conspiracy.

    “It’s useless. There were seven people who fell into the water at that time, and one was Qi Xin’s subordinate. Even if we knew they did it on purpose, there is no evidence.

    Moreover, someone on their side also died. This way they have absolute reason to say it was an accident. Even other hospitals can’t do anything about it.” Tang Wan’er sighed and said helplessly.

    “Those two people are very powerful. They are even stronger than the Zhao Wu you killed before. I didn’t expect them to be so ruthless.” Tang Wan’er’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but turn red when she said this. Obviously she couldn’t accept this fact.

    Perhaps in Tang Wan’er’s eyes, this was just a game. But for a game, two people lost their lives, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

    “You have to slowly learn to accept the cruel reality. These competitions in other courtyards are nothing. Only if you live in the secular world will you understand what real cruelty is.

    When your loved one falls in front of you, that kind of powerlessness, that kind of pain, that kind of torture, that’s called cruelty.

    This is unimaginable for you, the children of aristocratic families who live in a honeypot. So you should accept the reality, because it will become more and more cruel in the future, unless you quit practicing.” Long Chen said.

    For those who have experienced the human heart and ghosts and several life-and-death battles, Long Chen has long seen through the nature of cultivation. The reality is so cruel. If you want to live with dignity, you need to have matching strength.

    Otherwise, no matter whether he is a trafficker or a pawn, or an emperor or general, he is still in control. As the son of a prince, Long Chen is already a high-ranking existence in the eyes of the common people. At least he has enough food and clothing, and does not have to worry about the next meal.

    But what about the reality? They were not forced into desperation. If it weren’t for the Dan Emperor’s soul, if it weren’t for it, the Long family would have been destroyed long ago and became part of someone else’s conspiracy.

    Chu Yaogui was the princess of the empire. However, she was manipulated and doomed to a tragic fate. If it weren’t for Long Chen, she would have died long ago.

    So in Long Chen’s eyes, what kind of life you need, you need to match what kind of strength. Otherwise, you can either choose to live a humble life or choose to die happily. There is no third way.

    “I feel like I harmed them. If I hadn’t pulled them into my camp…” Tang Wan’er said with some annoyance.

    “Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. It’s not that you harmed them. It’s that their lives are not tough enough.

    Cultivation is a road of no return. Once you step on it, there is no chance to look back. If you shake your Taoist heart, it won’t take long for you to follow in their footsteps.” Long Chen looked at Tang Wan’er and said very seriously.

    Because of the death of two capable subordinates, she became confused about her practice. This was very detrimental to her, so Long Chen was not allowed to wake her up.

    Tang Wan’er couldn’t help being startled. Long Chen’s words were like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, waking her up.

    “Thank you Long Chen. I was the one who took the blame.” Tang Waner looked at Long Chen and said with some gratitude.

    As a monster-level powerhouse and the number one genius in her family, the strong men in her family have long warned her that she must keep her Taoist heart clear. She actually unknowingly shook her Taoist heart.

    If Long Chen hadn’t reminded her, this hidden danger would probably have spread. Although it may not lead to inner demons, it would definitely have an impact on her practice.

    Long Chen smiled slightly, looked at Tang Wan’er, blinked his eyes and said, “You’re welcome. Just remember that. You understand.”

    Long Chen wanted to say that he would marry him, but there was someone nearby. Although the two of them spoke in a low voice, it would be bad if someone heard them.

    Tang Wan’er’s original guilty mood disappeared immediately. She looked at Long Chen with an angry face: “Asshole. Do you want to die?”

    Long Chen couldn’t help but smile: “You are more normal at this time.”

    Tang Wan’er looked at Long Chen. She couldn’t help but feel angry and funny. At the same time, she felt a little touched.

    Long Chen was diverting his attention. And he succeeded. The moment he became angry, her mood returned.

    “Long Chen, sometimes I don’t understand. What is in your mind? It seems like you know a lot,” Tang Wan’er said curiously.

    “It’s not like. But I really know a lot. I understand the sky above, the earth below, and the air between heaven and earth.” Long Chen shook his head and said seriously.

    Seeing Long Chen’s appearance, even though she knew that Long Chen was deliberately being funny, Tang Wan’er couldn’t help but giggle. When she saw someone nearby casting a surprised look, she quickly stopped laughing.

    Tang Waner scolded: “You are so thick-skinned. By the way, Long Chen, do you have any ideals?”

    “Of course. What if it comes true?” Long Chen said seriously.

    “Then what is your ideal?” Tang Wan’er asked hurriedly.

    “My ideal is…hehe. I feel a little embarrassed,” Long Chen said shyly.

    “Tch. Just because of your shame, tell me what you are embarrassed about.” Tang Wan’er said expectantly.

    “Then I’ll say it. You have to stand firm. My ideal is to be a… big… bastard.” Long Chen said word for word.
