Chapter 160 Long Chen’s Grand Dream
Long Chen saw Tang Wan-er beckoning to him cordially from the crowd .
That made him pause for a moment . It didn’t seem as if Tang Wan-er had even been that nice to him before…
But then he saw that Qing Yu was beside her and he immediately understood . Even though he didn’t want to, he still braced himself for it as he walked over .
“Sister Qing Yu, h.e.l.lo . ” Long Chen had no choice but to smile nicely to Qing Yu .
Tang Wan-er had already told him that the person she was most afraid of would have to be this sister Qing Yu of hers . Although Qing Yu was her maid, she didn’t treat her that way . Instead, she considered her as own little sister .
But Qing Yu’s sole fault was that she always wanted to nag, to the point of driving people crazy . So Tang Wan-er both loved and feared her .
Qing Yu had been chatting with Tang Wan-er when Long Chen had arrived . Long Chen had looked so adorable and handsome that she had called him over .
“Long Chen, I heard you fought with someone else . Are you alright?” Qing Yu asked somewhat annoyed .
She gently removed a piece of stray gra.s.s from his hair . His first reaction was that he wasn’t using to someone being that intimate with him and he wanted to take a step back .
But seeing that there wasn’t even the slightest impurity within Qing Yu’s eyes, he suddenly felt much closer to her . Those eyes were just like a clear pool of water .
After taking out that stray strand, she then tidied up his collar . “Although Wan-er told me you are powerful, we came to the monastery to cultivate .
“If you don’t run into anything too excessive, it’d be better to just endure it . After all, it’s not good to be too vicious and…”
He didn’t know why, but Qing Yu’s gentle actions caused him to think of his mother . When he was little, she would also use these gentle movements to tidy him up .
He still remembered at that time his mother was still very young and extremely beautiful, just like Qing Yu .
But as he grew up, his mother grew older . Thinking of the past, his heart soured slightly and he felt he was about to tear up .
At the same time he could also sense that Qing Yu’s heart was extremely kind and caring . It was no wonder someone with Tang Wan-er’s temperament would still put up with her . That kind of feeling was something impossible to give up .
Tang Wan-er finally let out a breath of relief . At least she was no longer the only target of Qing Yu’s scolding . But looking at Long Chen’s eyes which had reddened slightly, she was startled .
As for Guo Ran, when he saw Long Chen who had gone from a mighty expert who had sent someone flying with a single kick to being almost an obedient little child listening to a woman’s instructions, he laughed .
Although Long Chen’s heart was moved, being continuously scolded by someone really wasn’t fun . Seeing Guo Ran laughing into his sleeve, he had a sudden inspiration .
“Guo Ran, get over here . ”
“What do you need boss?” Guo Ran hastily put away his smile .
Long Chen said to Qing Yu, “Sister Qing Yu, I feel like what you said makes a lot of sense . Each of your words are pearls of wisdom that give me food for thought . But my memory isn’t very good .
“Let me introduce you: this is my brother Guo Ran . He is someone famous for his amazing memory . He’ll never forget anything he hears .
“So please tell all the your gems of wisdom for me to him . He’ll organize it all and record it in a book for me .
“That way even if sister isn’t by my side, I can study the wisdom sister has left for me . ”
Guo Ran turned wooden as he listened . But as for Qing Yu, her eyes brightened .
“I really hadn’t imagined you were so clever Long Chen! This an excellent idea! You’re Guo Ran, right? Ok, then good . You must remember what I’m about to say word for word . It might be a bit long, so if you can’t remember it all, just say something and I’ll repeat it for you . Ok, so let’s start from how it’s not good to be too vicious and…” Qing Yu pulled Guo Ran to the side and began to lecture him .
Long Chen acted as if he didn’t see Guo Ran’s resentful gaze . Who asked that fellow to laugh at his misery? Brothers should work through blessings and disasters together .
“Rascal, when did you get so smart?” Tang Wan-er walked up to Long Chen, delight and and surprise in her beautiful eyes .
“In the future, I can use this method whenever sister Qing Yu wants to educate me . It really is excellent . ” Seeing Tang Wan-er was still staring at him, he said, “Hey, don’t get any ideas about hitting me . ”
“Tch, do you think you’re worth me thinking about?” disdainfully said Tang Wan-er .
That relieved Long Chen quite a bit . Getting serious, he asked, “Has everyone gathered?”
Tang Wan-er’s expression became slightly gloomy . “They’ve all mostly gathered . But some people died out of my expectations during the trial . ”
“How?” asked Long Chen .
“Within my faction were two extremely talented registrants . But when they were crossing the river, there was an accident and they ended up drowning…” Tang Wan-er clenched her teeth angrily .
Long Chen immediately understood that that was probably no accident, but on purpose . “Who did it?”
