Chapter 231: Fate
No one in their right mind would ever expect that he would do something so shameful in public.
All Long Chen wanted to do was to punish the haughty girl in Yin Mengyaos stead. Since Dongfang Tianxuan had tried to shame Yin Mengyao in the past, he was doing it to take revenge for Yin Mengyao.
Pervert Dongfang Tianxuan pointed at him, her face flushed red from embarrassment. She didnt know what to do to Long Chen. Her heart was filled with murderous intent when he did that to her, but she couldnt do anything.
Long Chen chuckled and turned around, ignoring her completely. He looked at the Patriarch. Ive defeated both of them. Im sure you agree that Im strong enough to enter the ruins, right?
The family members looked at the Patriarch. Even though they didnt want it, a promise was a promise. Long Chen had won, and they could not go back on their word.
The Patriarch gritted his teeth. Will you promise me that you will cooperate with everyone else within the ancient ruins to obtain the inheritance?
Of course. I would be an idiot to not go all out to obtain such a treasure. Long Chen smiled.
Dont forget what youve promised! In one month, the Ninth Prince from the Biyang Imperial Capital will come to Yuanling City. The ancient ruins will be opened up then!
Thank you, Patriarch. Long Chen laughed and was about to return when he suddenly saw Dongfang Tianxuan staring at him.
Did she fall for me? Long Chen was secretly surprised.
Long Chen, you will die for your actions today Dongfang Tianxuan whispered.
Long Chen realized he was just thinking too much.
He approached her without a care. Whether I die or not, we have yet to find out, but your body has been branded by me. You cant get into another relationship until I say so.
Despicable. Dongfang Tianxuan knew Long Chen was just taunting her, but she did not have the power to fight back.
Oh, where is Yin Mengyao? How is she doing? Part of the reason Long Chen had returned to the Eastern Azure Dragon family was to check on her.
Her? Mo Xiaolang probably took her back to the Silver family, Dongfang Tianxuan answered truthfully.
Mo Xiaolang returned to the Lingwu family? Long Chen was under the assumption that Mo Xiaolang had escaped.
He wanted to enter the ancient ruins, just like you.
Based on what Dongfang Tianxuan said, Long Chen knew that both Mo Xiaolang and Yin Mengyao were fine, so he sighed in relief.
Baiyang Town should be fine. With the threat of Li Xuanji lurking around, the Lingwu family will still protect the town. Yin Mengyao has returned to the Silver family, so she would be safe. Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ming should be starting their lives all over again somewhere, this time together.
The only problem he had now was Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi, I will make sure you survive. Long Chen swore to himself and then made his way over to the Silver family. He had never thought that Mo Xiaolang would greet him the moment he arrived.
Brother, you are alive! Mo Xiaolang was excited.
I heard that you brought a mysterious girl to the Black Tortoise Pavilion and shook things up before disappearing. I never thought you would survive after falling down into the abyss of the Star Devil Prison! Mo Xiaolang was extremely joyous to see Long Chen alive.
As your elder brother, I have to be much more monstrous than you. An insignificant place like the Star Devil Prison could never kill me! Long Chen chuckled.
Other than Ling Xi, everything else had more or less been settled.
Mo XIaolang was happy from the bottom of his heart to see that Long Chen was alive and had become much stronger. Mo Xiaolang had decided to treat Long Chen as his brother the moment Long Chen risked his life to enter the Azure Dragon Star to rescue him from that desolate place.
If their meeting in Baiyang Town was a coincidence, then their current situation was nothing less of fate.
I just caught wind that you returned to the Lingwu family and was about to go greet you. Did the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch try to kill you? Mo Xiaolang was worried.
You think he would dare to do so?
He didn't? Mo Xiaolang was shocked. He recalled how their group had almost died at the Star Devil Prison due to the Patriarch. How had Long Chen entered the Eastern Azure Dragon family on his own and emerged unscathed?
Do you remember the mysterious woman that followed me to the Black Tortoise Pavilion? The Patriarch fears her, so he will not do anything to me. Also, I defeated Dongfang Tianxuan to enter the ancient ruins. Xiaolang, I heard that you wanted to enter the ancient ruins too?
Dongfang Tianxuan? I heard that she was at the mid Heavenly Core Realm. Brother, did you really defeat someone at the mid Heavenly Core Realm? And you are going to the ancient ruins too? Mo Xiaolang was shocked at the news.
Ive reached the Heavenly Core Realm.
Even Mo Xiaolang was taken aback by what he had just heard. It took him a long time to react and sigh at the news. You are much more of a monstrous genius than me. It took me half a year to advance from the initial Heavenly Core Realm to the mid Heavenly Core Realm, and now youve caught up to me. Looks like you will surpass me soon.
Nonsense. The path of cultivation gets increasingly difficult in the latter stages. Theres no way I will breeze through it, Long Chen said plainly.
Mo Xiaolang was a little bit surprised to see how mature Long Chen was.
When they met for the first time in Baiyang Town, Long Chen was nothing but a useless bum. But now he had become his sworn brother, someone who was mature and rational, who would kill people without hesitation to protect his family.
Xiaolang, you are my brother now. We will enter the ruins in a month and fight together. I want to see if theres anyone who can beat us when we work together that day. Long Chen patted Mo Xiaolangs shoulder and looked at the passionate youth. Long Chen suddenly felt like his future was grand.
Mo Xiaolang scratched his head and said in an unnatural way, Yes! We are sworn brothers!
Mo Xiaolang had thought that things were progressing too fast. The time between meeting each other and becoming sworn brothers was too short, but he still felt like it was natural. He swore to himself that he would fight to the death with Long Chen the moment he remembered how Long Chen had risked everything to rescue him.
Lets go grab something to eat. We should also have some wine together, shouldnt we? Long Chen had familiarized himself with the streets at a young age, so he knew what he had to do to call himself a sworn brother to Mo Xiaolang.
It was the real deal this time.
Mo Xiaolang was a bit bashful, so he just listened to Long Chens suggestion despite being much more powerful.
Long Chen was very happy about taking Mo Xiaolang as his sworn brother. Even though Mo Xiaolang was a genius, he was not snobbish. In fact, Long Chen looked more like the bad guy compared to Mo Xiaolang.
Shit, why is his smile so innocent? It feels like Im kidnapping a child rather than taking him for a drink.
While walking on the streets, Long Chen asked Mo Xiaolang about Yin Mengyao. Once he knew that Yin Mengyao was living happily with the Silver family, he let go of the stone in his heart. All he needed to do was cultivate and become an Immortal Guard after obtaining the inheritance.
But Long Chen had new worries after learning that Mo Xiaolang was entering the ruins too. Still, he had a bit of time to think about it.
Once out of Lingwu City, they headed to the Eastern Ling District and found a restaurant to eat in. He entered with Mo Xiaolang, and everyone recognized them as the prodigies of the Lingwu family. The restaurant treated them with utmost respect and found them a spot near the window. The establishment was decorated with a timeless yet elegant theme.
Both of them needed a bit of time before they could talk comfortably, as the time they had spent together before this was quite short.
Once they ordered, Long Chens behavior returned back to when he was a bum drinking in different bars. Even though there were only two of them, the atmosphere was lively. Mo Xiaolang kept laughing and Long Chen kept talking. They finally got close after eating and drinking together.
Wait, Xiaolang, why do you want to go to the ancient ruins? Long Chen asked after finally remembering the question.
I actually wanted to escape after you gave us the chance to do so, but the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch promised me that I could keep the Heavenly Wolf Dagger if I did one thing for him. Mo Xiaolang was a bit tipsy after drinking, his pale face flushed.
You mean he wants you to enter the ruins too?
Yeah. He probably wouldnt have asked me to do so if I had not reached the late Heavenly Core Realm. Ive heard rumors that the Dawn Trading Alliance and the Beast Soul Palace will be sending geniuses at the late Heavenly Core Realm. The Lingwu family doesnt have any youths at the late Heavenly Core Realm, so the Patriarchs have been anxious. To be honest, it was out of their expectations for the Dawn Trading Alliance and the Beast Soul Palace to have youths at the late Heavenly Core Realm. Before this, they only had youths at the initial Heavenly Core Realm, so none of them could compete against the Lingwu family.
Oh. I see. Long Chen nodded. He needed to obtain the inheritance and become an Immortal Guard, so the ruins had been occupying his thoughts. He had been feeling slightly anxious ever since he heard that Mo Xiaolang would enter the ruins, but it seemed there was no need to. As long as one of them obtained the inheritance, they would complete the mission given to them by the Lingwu family.
Brother, do you want the inheritance? Mo Xiaolang was tipsy but not stupid.
Yes, I need it. Its important to me.
Oh, in that case, I will just give it to you. Im stronger than you after all.
