Chapter 25 (2/2)

“You’re called Long Chen? I think I’ve heard of you . You seem to be pretty impressive these days?” suddenly said the Grand Xia’s crown prince Xia Changfeng .

“Hehe, I might be a bit impressive, but I pale compared to the people from your Grand Xia . ”

Long Chen pointed to the man lying on the ground . “With a magical beast pulling a carriage, he went wild throughout the streets, barreling left and right without regard for other people . Now that’s really impressive . For a dog to be so impressive, I really can’t imagine how impressive its master must be!”

Xia Changfeng’s expression immediately sunk . “Is this true?”

Long Chen coldly snorted, “Don’t ask me . Ask your dog . ”

“Lu Luo, did such a thing truly happen?” Xia Changfeng’s gaze turned ruthless, but he quickly pushed it down .

“Master, I was rus.h.i.+ng for time . Who knows why the lowly people here don’t know how to get out of the way? It isn’t my fault . ” The man with the long eyebrows had now recovered slightly, and he suppressed his pain to answer .

“Idiot, this isn’t the Grand Xia . No one here recognizes the imperial carriages! Take him away . ” Xia Changfeng’s face turned dark and he cursed . Two men wearing the Grand Xia’s clothes took the man way .

He then turned towards Chu Yang and apologized, “Changfeng was not strict enough . Once I return, I will definitely properly disciple them to brother Chu Yang’s satisfaction . ”

“Haha, brother Changfeng is too courteous . I just hope this small matter won’t affect the relations between our two nations,” hastily said Chu Yang .

“Brother Chu Yang worries too much . This matter will cease here . ” He then turned to Long Chen and said, “Many thanks to little brother for warning me of this danger . ”

Everyone stared blankly; no one expected the crown prince of the Grand Xia to actually say such words and apologize to Long Chen . A feeling of admiration arose for him; this Grand Xia prince truly had an extraordinary bearing .

If it weren’t for Long Chen’s powerful Spiritual Strength and perception, he might also think that way . But that killing intent Xia Changfeng had released towards him was not unnoticed or forgotten .

“Prince is too polite . For dogs to misbehave is common . You have to hold on to their leashes tightly, otherwise they’ll bite and claw others . ” Long Chen laughed and warned him cordially .

Hearing this, the scarred man’s expression darkened . Long Chen’s usage of the word dog included not only him, but also all the other imperial bodyguards .

But Xia Changfeng only smiled slightly as if he hadn’t understood his implicit meaning . “We just arrived at the capital but all we’ve heard about it what you’ve done . I actually originally thought brother Long was just an alchemist, but it seems everyone was wrong . You dual cultivate martial arts and pill refining . Such battle strength is truly admiring . You are definitely at the peak amongst your generation . ”

Long Chen only looked back at Xia Changfeng, momentarily not understanding what he meant by this . He only smiled slightly without offering a response .

“I wonder if brother Long would do me the honor of having a few drinks with me and brother Chu?” asked Xia Changfeng .

Although his smile was pleasant, Long Chen sensed that it was a smile to hide a poisonous fang, and he felt extremely uncomfortable with it .

“I’m sorry, but this little brother has drunk too much just now and can’t bear anymore . Otherwise I also wouldn’t have bothered with two dogs . This little one will take his leave . ”

Long Chen smiled and seemingly without noticing Xia Changfeng’s darkened expression or the scarred man’s dense killing intent, he brought Aman out .

Once Long Chen left, s.h.i.+ Feng and the others hastily apologized and ran, having experienced a great fright today .

…

“Master, why didn’t you let me kill that kid? Lu Luo’s lifeblood has been completely destroyed . That kid is too vicious . ”

At this time, the Grand Xia’s prince had already returned to his residence and the scarred man was speaking to him .

“That little kid is someone from the alchemist guild . Although he’s not from our country’s guild, if you killed him like that, I would have to hand you over to the guild for punishment . ”

“But that kid is completely wild . I just can’t swallow this anger . ” To be repeated cursed as a dog, no one would be able to bear it .

“If you want to kill him, you first have to come up with a plan . You have to make sure to have that person killed while being sure you’ll survive . ” Xia Changfeng shook his head .

“Then does master… you have a plan?” joyously asked the scarred man .

“Of course, otherwise would I act so kind to him? Every single person who ever gets to see me put on that face has died . ”

Xia Changfeng smiled a dark and profound smile . The scarred man couldn’t help but to s.h.i.+ver .

“Don’t forget our goal in coming here . He’s just a small matter . Let him live a few more days . The Phoenix Cry Empire’s largest festival, the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival, is about to arrive . At that time there will be a whole year of martial arts gathering . My praise today is not to be wasted . Hmph, once his popularity reaches its peak, challenge him at the Lantern Festival . At that time, would he be able to refuse?” Xia Changfeng leaned back into his chair, his eyes half closed and a cold smile on his mouth .

Only now did the scarred man realize what a vicious trick this was . At that time, countless people would be watching . Long Chen couldn’t refuse no matter how much he wanted to .

If he dared to refuse, he would drown in ridicule, especially since he was young and full of energy .

“However, be a bit more careful . As my imperial bodyguard, you can’t reveal too much strength . Don’t make me warn you again . ”

“Yes, don’t worry master . Over these years I have never revealed my true hidden strength,” hastily replied the scarred man .

Xia Changfeng nodded, looking out into the night sky . His pupils were the exact same as the curtain of night, unfathomable .
