Chapter 48 The Story of Yun Qi
BANG!
Xia Changfeng slammed his hand onto a table, completely shattering it . Xia Changfeng’s expression was extremely malevolent now as he ground his teeth .
“Long Chen, Long Chen, if I don’t tear your body into a thousand pieces then I won’t be Xia Changfeng!”
The lantern festival had been a complete and utter failure for him . He had lost a powerful subordinate in Huang Chang, making him incessantly furious .
It had turned out completely different from what he had planned . Not only had he failed to kill Long Chen, he had lost Huang Chang and Wei Cang had had to hand over his precious beast flame .
This compet.i.tion’s greatest winner had actually been Long Chen . How could that possibly not make him angry? His lungs were about to burst from anger .
Within the same room as him was a young man in his twenties . Acting as if he didn’t even notice Xia Changfeng’s anger, he leisurely drank a cup of tea to the side .
Xia Changfeng’s anger had been mostly vented after breaking the table and he gradually calmed down . He respectfully said to that person, “Brother Luo, Long Chen is too overbearing . I hope that brother Luo can help me relieve some of my anger . ”
That white-robed man who had been called brother Luo lightly put down his cup and indifferently said, “Changfeng, you really have disappointed me . Just a woman has caused you to lose your calm . That Long Chen is just an ant . You have to remember why we’ve come to Phoenix Cry this time . If such a small trivial matter ends up delaying the major event, neither of us are capable of receiving the punishment . Do you understand?”
After saying this, his face sunk and he seemed completely displeased with Xia Changfeng’s performance .
Being reminded about their goal in coming here, sweat rolled down Xia Changfeng’s forehead .
“Many thanks brother Luo for the reminder . Changfeng understands his wrong . ” Xia Changfeng hastily bowed .
Seeing Xia Changfeng act like this, the white robed man smiled slightly . “Before we accomplish that matter, waiting patiently is the most important thing . Must you squabble over temporarily losses and wins? Moreover we’ve already prepared for this many years . That third princess will still be yours . Think about it; seeing that kid Long Chen work bitterly for a long time just to still fail at the end, isn’t that the most refres.h.i.+ng?”
Xia Changfeng’s eyes brightened and his anger was immediately relieved . “It really is brother Luo who’s vision is far reaching . I am ashamed . ”
“You mixed up your priorities . Although to tell the truth, that Chu Yao really is as beautiful as a G.o.ddess and irresistible . Chu Yao’s maidenhood will be yours, but once you obtain that beautiful woman, can you let your big brother also have a taste?” The white robed man looked at Xia Changfeng and smiled .
Xia Changfeng’s expression changed slightly, but he immediately covered it up and did his absolute best to be indifferent as he smiled, “Changfeng doesn’t really care about such a beauty . Once the matter is over, brother Luo will of course have his share . ”
“Changfeng, you aren’t feeling unwell inside, are you?” The white robed man lifted up his teacup and blew on it .
“How could that be possible? Brother Luo is from the sect and this little brother is still hoping to have brother Luo’s guidance in the future,” hastily said Xia Changfeng .
“Good, that is how a man should act . Take what comes magnanimously, otherwise how will you ever accomplish big things? Don’t worry, as long as this matter is handled properly, you will definitely be able to become an outer disciple . ”
“Then many thanks brother Luo . ” Xia Changfeng was ecstatic at that . That unhappiness he had felt just now vanished into smoke .
The white robed man nodded . “But you must handle this matter with utmost care . If even the slightest whiff of it comes out, not only will the benefits fly away, the punishment we’ll get is not something either of us can survive . ”
“Don’t worry brother Luo, I’ve been extremely focused on it and will definitely handle it properly . ” Xia Changfeng patted his chest .
“Then that’s good . My ident.i.ty can’t be found out, so only when it is absolutely essential can you call me out . You have to proceed with the plan faster and set up everything as early as possible . The less movements you make the better, and it would be best for it to be handled without the need for any blood . ”
“Most of the plan has already been set in order . The entire Phoenix Cry Empire is basically within our control . There’s just one big problem: Zhenyuan Hou Long Tianxiao . Zhenyuan Hou still won’t surrender and is unmoved by force or persuasion . It really is a headache . He controls almost a third of the forces within the empire, and if we can’t resolve this problem, it might have an effect on our plan,” said Xia Changfeng .
“Long Tianxiao? Long Chen? How are they related?”
“They’re father and son . ”
“Idiot, he’s Zhenhuan Hou’s son? Then just treat him as a kind of trump card, a trump card that controls Zhenyuan Hou! And you actually wanted to kill him?” The white robed man abruptly became furious .
Xia Changfeng was at a loss . He also knew Long Chen was a kind of trump card, but he was unable to bear his flirtation with Chu Yao .
“You almost ruined things! Don’t touch Long Chen for now . Go find all the information about him and his family for me . ”
“Yes . ”
Xia Changfeng left . Once he left, the white-robed man coldly spit out, “What an idiot . ”
…
When Long Chen once more arrived at the alchemist guild, the alchemists who originally were unfamiliar with him all respectfully bowed to him .
Long Chen’s display of alchemy yesterday had already become common knowledge within the capital . Despite his opponent essentially cheating, he still managed a complete victory, causing people awe .
