Chapter 132 - Weird Man
Long Chen felt refreshed upon finally returning to Baiyang Town. He felt a sense of superiority here.
He was now the strongest person in town—no one could stand up to him.
But I cannot stay here my entire life, or I will be stuck at my current cultivation level. Now that the Blood Saints have been dealt with, I should return to the Lingwu family to cultivate. Lingqing will also be there, so all the more reason for me to be there too. Not even Liu Yuan was willing to fight the Blood Saints for me; to think Beitang Mo would go to their headquarters directly. Beitang Mo was even generous enough to send Earthly Core Realm cultivators to protect the Yang family from danger. My family is safe for now.
Now that the Yang family was no longer in crisis and the Blood Saints had been eradicated, Long Chen could focus on the Lingwu family completely.
The Yang family quickly learned that Yang Lingqing would join the Lingwu family’s inner family. Everyone celebrated her achievements for an entire day and night.
Long Chen and Yang Lingqing were Baiyang Town’s most famous people.
Long Chen, who was once an useless bum that everyone hated, had transformed into a hero everyone adored. He was embarrassed by their praises.
Two days later, he and Yang Lingqing left Baiyang Town. Many people sent them off towards the direction of the Lingwu family.
“Lingqing, I will introduce you to someone very important to me later on.”
Both of them were riding on horseback along the road.
Long Chen had told her about the Black Scaled Dragon Horse, but she was not mad. She was even sad that it had inconvenienced him.
“Someone very important?”
Yang Lingqing was wondering exactly how important the person was to him.
They took a quick detour and entered a small forest. Long Chen looked around to see if anyone was nearby, while Yang Lingqing searched for the person in question.
“Is the person here? I don’t see them.”
Long Chen smiled and snapped his finger. “Xiao Xi, come out!
A hazy, white glow engulfed Long Chen’s ear stud, and a two-centimeter-tall lady appeared from it right in front of Yang Lingqing’s shocked eyes. The lady was the most beautiful person she had ever seen.
Yang Lingqing was stunned.
“What ... What is this?”
“Don’t be rude. This is your sister-in-law,” Long Chen said cheekily.
“Sister-in-law?”
Yang Lingqing was even more confused.
Ling Xi felt disgraced and spat at Long Chen before looking at Yang Lingqing seriously. “Sister Lingqing, my name is Ling Xi. Don’t listen to him, I’m not your sister-in-law.”
Yang Lingqing was still confused. “You guys ... Can someone explain to me what’s going on?”
Long Chen had to start from the beginning. He recounted how he met her and their adventures so far.
When she heard that Ling Xi had saved Long Chen numerous times, Yang Lingqing instantly accepted the girl as part of her family. Also, Ling Xi’s current predicament was very pitiful. Both of them soon became friendly and started talking to each other, ignoring Long Chen altogether.
Long Chen felt like a third wheel and was disgruntled.
It was Ling Xi’s suggestion to talk with Yang Lingqing. Since Yang Lingqing was the closest person to him, he had no objections. But now he was disgruntled after seeing how friendly they were.
“Sigh ... Why did I agree to this?”
They talked happily along the way and soon reached Yuanling City. There were already people waiting to receive Yang Lingqing. Ling Xi returned to Long Chen’s ear stud.
The one receiving Yang Lingqing was none other than Beitang Mo himself.
Due to Long Chen and Yang Lingqing’s relationship, even Liu Lan had accompanied him. Two famous people from the Lingwu family were gathered here, attracting many gazes.
“Look at them. Are they waiting to receive someone?”
Soon, Long Chen and Yang Lingqing appeared in front of them. The others finally knew who Beitang Mo was waiting for.
“Who are they? Beitang Mo and Liu Lan are waiting for them.”
“I don’t know. But one of them is at the Human Core Realm, while the other is at the Draconic Realm. They are considered weaklings here in Yuanling City.”
“Sigh ... The city is beautiful, but who knows how many geniuses have been buried underneath it?”
Amidst their envy and admiration, Long Chen and Yang Lingqing approached Beitang Mo. The latter said nothing and guided them to enter a beautiful carriage before departing for Lingwu City.
Beitang Mo said nothing until they were almost at the city. “Once you reach the Northern Black Tortoise family, you must do as I say. But since you look like an obedient girl, I don’t think you will cause any trouble. If you have any questions, you can just ask me.”
“Understood.” Yang Lingqing nodded.
Yang Lingqing might not have any questions, but Long Chen was filled with them.
Even though Yang Lingqing was at the Draconic Realm, she had been invited to the inner family through a special exception. Therefore, many people would envy her. Even if she did not cause any trouble, someone would be bound to find a reason to pick a fight with her. She could die if she wasn’t careful.
He held her hand and somehow felt that she was nervous too, but she did not want him to see it.
When it was time for them to separate, Long Chen whispered to Yang Lingqing, his voice filled with authority, “Qing’er, remember, if someone bullies you, no matter how strong they are, just tell me. I will whack them.”
“I know. But I won’t cause any trouble, so no one will bully me.”
Even though Yang Lingqing was afraid, she still forced a smile and playfully punched Long Chen. “You must take care of Sister Ling Xi, or I will whack you instead.”
Long Chen nodded and smiled bitterly.
They finally separated, but Beitang Mo clearly heard what Long Chen had said.
“I heard you’ve submitted an application to enter the qualifiers.”
Long Chen nodded.
Beitang Mo suddenly scoffed at him. “Don’t be naive. The enemies Lingqing will face in the future are not the kind of people you can go up against. You just need to work hard not to embarrass her.”
He then waved his sleeves and left.
Yang Lingqing left with him, but she turned around to look at Long Chen. Long Chen was still worried because Yang Lingqing would have to face so many things on her own now.
Was it right for me to ask her to join the Lingwu family?
Long Chen thought about it and decided he needed to get stronger. That way, no one would bully her.
Hehe, he said I can’t fight against the enemies she will make in the future. Just you wait ...
Long Chen understood what Beitang Mo meant. The only ones who would bully Yang Lingqing were the people of the inner family. If he wanted to protect her, he had to enter the inner family himself.
I hope I have a chance to enter the inner family this time ...
Long Chen eyes were filled with relentlessness and resolution, as well as love. Liu Lan saw everything and chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you not satisfied with that idea?”
She naturally meant what Beitang Mo had said before he left.
“I will make sure all of you submit to me next time.”
Long Chen raised his head and stared at Liu Lan. He dared to challenge her!
“Hmph! Looks like you became more brave.”
Liu Lan shook her head. It was clear she was still somewhat underestimating him.
Staring at Long Chen’s resolute eyes, she suddenly had a sense of confusion.
Seeing how Liu Lan was staring at him funny, Long Chen teased, “Why are you looking at me like that? Are you planning to rob the cradle with me?”
When he said that, Long Chen suddenly felt an icy gaze staring at him. He turned around and saw a young man staring at him from a pagoda. Long Chen didn’t know who he was.
Liu Lan was not angry from his teasing, but she complied instead. She placed her pale hand on his shoulder and chuckled. “Of course, would you like to follow me back?”
Long Chen’s skin tingled. He was still not used to such seduction and quickly stepped back.
“Coward ...”
Liu Lan rolled her eyes and became serious. “What do you plan to do next?”
“I need to go get the beast soul of the Violet Demonic Lizard. I’m rushing for time, so goodbye!”
Long Chen ran past her, ignoring her fuming gaze.
Why is she being so warm to me today, and in public? What’s her goal?
Long Chen recalled the man glaring at him from the top of the pagoda and felt that something was amiss.
I didn’t even flirt with his woman, nor do I know him. Why was he staring at me like that?
