Chapter 179 Heaven Earth Faction

The both of them were completely silent for a while, the atmosphere between them captivating as well as tense . Tang Wan-er’s heart pounded . How come this scoundrel was so talkative normally but was silent now?

“You… why aren’t you talking?” Tang Wan-er finally found the courage to break the silence . But she didn’t have the courage to turn back to face him .

“I’m still thinking,” said Long Chen . But as soon as he said he regretted it, wis.h.i.+ng to give himself a slap on the face .

“You…” Tang Wan-er glared at him, her tears slowly flowing . She thought Long Chen was mocking her .

“No, I have no intention of laughing at you . Everyone has some bitterness suppressed in their hearts . But at the very least you had a complete childhood,” quietly said Long Chen .

She saw that when he said that, there was a bit of sadness within his eyes, as well as a feeling of being lost . That caused her heart to shake .

This kind of emotion rarely ever surfaced on Long Chen’s face . Tang Wan-er wiped away her tears and asked, “Long Chen, can I hear about your past?”

“Nope . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“Tch, petty . I told you about me, so you have to tell me!” demanded Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen rolled his eyes . “It’s not like I asked you to tell me . ”

“Even so! Since you heard it, you must tell me about yourself too!” She stood in front of Long Chen, her posture saying that she wouldn’t let him leave before telling her .

Long Chen smiled slightly and his heart warmed inside . “Thank you . ”

Tang Wan-er’s heart pounded faster when she saw Long Chen looking at her so gently . Not daring to meet his gaze, she asked, “Why are you thanking me?”

“Thank you for treating me as a friend . You’re asking this to understand me more . Fine . I also had a couple friends by my side . However I had to abandon them . ”

Long Chen’s quiet voice was heavy . s.h.i.+ Feng, fatty Yu, s.h.i.+ Hou, and all the other’s images surfaced in his mind . Perhaps he would never be able to have another chance at another great feast and drunkfest like what they had had before he had left .

“Why did you have to abandon them?” curiously asked Tang Wan-er .

“Let’s chat while walking . ”

Long Chen and Tang Wan-er slowly strolled as he quietly told her about his youth . “You had a complete childhood, but I only had half a childhood…”

He told her about everything from his childhood . Perhaps he had repressed his emotions for too long and finally needed to release them . He told her about how he had been constantly bullied, how he had narrowly escaped from death several times, telling her everything, only keeping the Pill G.o.d memories secret .

Tang Wan-er had never imagined Long Chen had experienced so much misery and pain . No wonder she always felt his intelligence was far greater than others .

That had been forced . If Long Chen hadn’t gained that intelligence that surpa.s.sed others, he would have already died under someone else’s schemes .

Compared to Long Chen, she had had an absolutely delightful youth . As Long Chen told her about his own misfortune, she couldn’t help feeling ashamed .

It was as if an emperor was complaining to beggar about how his meat didn’t taste good and wasn’t refined enough for him .

“Long Chen, don’t you feel wronged to have to experience so much?” asked Tang Wan-er .

“Of course I feel wronged . But I haven’t found a suitable shoulder to cry on . ” Long Chen glanced at Tang Wan-er’s shoulder .

She jumped, hastily taking a step back, guardedly saying, “Don’t mess around . ”

“How is that messing around? Didn’t you cry while hugging me just now? Now it should be switched around . ”

Tang Wan-er’s face immediately turned red . She evasively said, “That’s not the same . I’m a woman . ”

Long Chen mumbled, “Petty,” before finding a clean boulder to sit on . Looking in to the distance, who knew what he was thinking of .

Seeing Long Chen didn’t forcibly complain about it, Tang Wan-er relaxed . She also sat next to Long Chen .

“Now that you’ve joined the monastery, what are your plans?” she asked .

“Eat plenty, drink plenty, play plenty, and become a completely new and improved scoundrel,” laughed Long Chen .

“Ugh, I’m serious here!” Tang Wan-er rebuked . “It’s just like you said: our peaceful comfort is only temporary . A cruel compet.i.tion is about to start again . ”

“What kind of compet.i.tion?” asked Long Chen .

“It’s still unknown . For each generation they have a somewhat different compet.i.tion . But it will always be very intense . We should make our own preparations . Otherwise if we can’t grab enough resources, our factions’ strength will fall far behind the other factions,” worriedly said Tang Wan-er

“No way right? With us two here, it can be said that we are the strongest of all five factions . How could we fall behind?” asked Long Chen .

Tang Wan-er explained, “Although I don’t know why you are so strong, I can guess it definitely has to do with your cultivation technique .
