Chapter 70 Little Snow

“I absolutely cannot . ” Chen Fei explained, “Just before I left to come here, your father ordered me that I absolutely, no matter what, had to stay here to protect his wife and son . Even in death . ”

Long Chen shook his head, “Although you are a late Blood Condensation expert, you are no longer able to protect me . The fact that you didn’t help me back when I was injured on the martial arena means that you are extremely apprehensive and will only act to help once I am facing death . But at that time, even if you did help, you wouldn’t be able to fix anything . Am I right?!”

Chen Fei was silent for a long while . That was because Long Chen’s words were absolutely true and he couldn’t refute them .

“Within the capital, the only person who could make you be so apprehensive should be Ying Hou, correct?” asked Long Chen .

Chen Fei sighed and nodded . “Correct . Your father warned over and over again not to let Ying Hou notice me, otherwise my life would be over . I’m not afraid of death, but I am afraid of betraying your father’s expectations . That’s why despite you being bullied so much, I could only continue to stay my hand . I truly am sorry . ”

“Does my father have enmity with Ying Hou?”

“Ying Hou’s finger was severed by your father,” laughed Chen Fei .

No wonder Ying Hou would target me . Father really is ferocious . But I won’t fall behind; my father severed a finger, while I made him lose all his money .

“When did you first come to the capital?” asked Long Chen .

“Three years ago . ”

“And how many experts on your level does my father have beside him?”

“There were originally seven, but one of them died after the many years of fighting, so there are only six now . ”

“What Heavenstage have you reached?”

“The ninth Heavenstage of Blood Condensation . But unfortunately I’ve never been able to break through the next barrier,” sighed Chen Fei . He was already thirty-seven years old . If he still wasn’t able to break through by the age of forty, it would essentially be impossible for him to do for the rest of his life .

Long Chen wasn’t that surprised . Although Chen Fei was extremely good at hiding his aura, Blood Qi had emerged from the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows . That was a clear sign of blood being condensed to its densest state .

In other words, Chen Fei had to be at the peak of Blood Condensation . Unfortunately, he was unable to break through the next barrier .

To break through the Blood Condensation realm to reach the Muscle Rebirth realm was extremely difficult . There were thousands of Blood Condensation experts in Phoenix Cry, but only three Muscle Rebirth experts . The two were separated by a huge chasm that caused everyone who stood in front of it to despair .

“Chen Fei, I’ll refine some pills tonight . Bring them to my father . ” Long Chen was almost talking to himself .

“Young master, this…”

Long Chen waved his hand, cutting him off . “Although your aura concealing techniques are exquisite, allowing you to hide from even Ying Hou’s senses, the entire Phoenix Cry capital is undergo intense undercurrents . That means that the entire empire will soon be flipped; whether you stay or not has no meaning . If my Long family truly did reach that end point where you would finally take action, do you really think you could manage to fight against that tide with just your strength?”

“I can bring you out alive,” said Chen Fei .

Long Chn’s face darkened . “And what about my mother?”

Chen Fei was immediately speechless . His aura concealing techniques were powerful, but he was actually even stronger when it came to his fleeing techniques . He was confident that even if Ying Hou was the opponent, he would still have an eighty percent chance of saving Long Chen .

But he really was unable to reply when it came his mother . He could at most bring along one extra person . In other words, his mother would have to be a sacrifice .

“Sorry young master, but these are my master’s orders . I must follow them,” Chen Fei shook his head .

Long Chen couldn’t help being both startled and furious . His father had actually decided to sacrifice his mother to save him in that situation . Perhaps that was because of his pampering of him, but he was completely unable to accept that .

Taking a deep breath, Long Chen suppressed his fury and coldly said, “Chen Fei, I’m not arguing with you . I am ordering you . Don’t end up hurting me and my mother just for some silly order . I’m going to the alchemist guild right now to get some medicinal ingredients . I’ll spend all night refining, and you will bring them to my father . Don’t even speak about saving me and my mother . If I wanted your life right now, it would be as effortless as blowing off dust . Right now I have the strength to temporarily protect the Long household . But events are rapidly turning, and I need my father’s help quickly . So now I’m giving you two options . Listen to me and return to my father’s side . Or die here . Without more of the antidote, the poison will still inevitably kill you . ”

Chen Fei’s expression became a mix of green and white . He could easily hear the fury within Long Chen’s words . He could almost see the image of Long Tianxiao within him . He was certain that if he really dared to disobey, Long Chen really would take his life .

He wasn’t afraid of death, but such a meaningless death truly would not be worth it . Anyways, this was a matter for the Long family . He could only bitterly smile and agree . Of course, inside he was extremely agonized . Just how was he supposed to face Long Tianxiao once he returned?

Long Chen went straight to the alchemist guild . Now that he had so much money from the auction, he no longer needed to worry about buying medicinal ingredients on credit . Coming to the guild now had definitely been a smart decision, as they had had all the medicinal ingredients he required .

Using Chen Fei as a guard, Long Chen directly started using his flame to warm the furnace . The pill he was refining this time was called the Breaking Barrier Pill .

It was an extremely ordinary second tier medicinal pill that could increase the chance of breaking through bottlenecks .

But the medicinal formula Long Chen was using had come from a Pill G.o.d’s memories . It used the same medicinal ingredients, but through merging them in different proportions, it created an entirely different effect .
