Chapter 217

“Senior brother Long Chen, three days ago, one of senior brother Song Mingyuan’s people was working when he saw three law enforcers carrying a large object back to the monastery,” reported that disciple .

“Could he tell that it was Little Snow?” frantically asked Long Chen .

He shook his head . “That disciple said it was covered in layers of clothing and he was unable to see what was inside . But based on the shape, it was similar to the body of Little Snow that you described .

“Furthermore, that disciple said those three law enforcers were somewhat out of sorts . There were even bloodstains on them . They should have just experienced a great fight . ”

Long Chen’s heart pounded . Then that really was likely to be Little Snow . But he still didn’t know just who had done it .

The monastery had over a hundred law enforcers covering a dozen areas . They weren’t always in the same place . He would need to investigate this more .

“What happened to Little Snow?” asked Wilde .

“He was captured by others . ” Long Chen ground his teeth .

“Who dared bully Little Snow! Wilde will crush them with a single club!” Wilde was furious .

At this time, Ling Hao walked in . Ling Hao was the only male amongst the Heaven Earth Faction’s inner disciples, and his cultivation base was pretty good .

“Senior brother Long, a disciple requests to see you from outside . He says he had something important to report . ” Ling Hao saluted .

“Let him in,” hastily said Long Chen .

At this time, a somewhat thin man walked in . When Long Chen saw that man he did feel he was a bit familiar, but he didn’t recognize him .

“Zhao Qian greets senior brother Long Chen . ” He directly cupped his fists to him . “Many thanks for senior brother Long Chen’s life-saving help back then . ”

Long Chen was confused for a moment, then he thought of it . “You are…”

“Yes, it’s me . If it weren’t for brother Long helping, Zhao Qian would already be buried with the fishes,” gratefully said Zhao Qian .

Long Chen finally remembered this person from back in the trial region . There had been a fierce river that had blocked there path .

Ye Zhiqiu had used her ice energy to cross over gracefully like a fairy .

One person had tried borrowing her leftover ice to cross as well, but that ice energy hadn’t lasted for long before dropping him into the river, causing the Tigermouth Fishes to attack him .

Back then Long Chen had thrown out a stick to pull him back, saving his life .

“Senior brother Long Chen, a couple days ago I joined Qi Xin’s faction . I had to secretly come here,” said Zhao Qian .

When Long Chen had defeated Gu Yang, he had also beat Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin black and bruised . Later they were then almost beat to death by the crowd .

After recovering, Qi Xin returned to his faction and his temper exploded on his people . That flagbearer disciple was directly beaten unconscious by him .

Qi Xin had then cursed everyone, and quite a few people had been expelled from his faction . Zhao Qian had borrowed that opportunity to join his faction .

“Senior brother Long Chen, I, Zhao Qian, owe you my life . My coming here is tantamount to betraying them, so I also won’t return to Qi Xin’s faction .

“I came here to tell you that four nights ago, Qi Xin got completely drunk and said he would take revenge on, letting you taste pain .

“Later I then heard the next day he personally went to find some law enforcers . I don’t know whether that has anything to do with your mount,” explained Zhao Qian .

Everyone in the monastery already knew that amongst the new disciples, Long Chen was the only one with a third rank mount .

Before the trial had even begun, Qi Xin had wanted to humiliate Long Chen, but had been defeated by Little Snow . And now Long Chen learned Qi Xin had raved about getting revenge and had gone to see the law enforcers .

The very next day, Little Snow had disappeared . Everything pointed to Qi Xin .

“Senior brother Long Chen, I only know so much . Junior will take his leave now . ” Zhao Qian cupped his fists and prepared to leave .

“Don’t go back . In the future, you’ll be a member of our Heaven Earth Faction . ” Long Chen patted Zhao Qian’s shoulder .

Zhao Qian was startled, looking at him with disbelief . “Senior brother Long Chen, didn’t you say you hated traitors the most? I…”

“First you must distinguish between right and wrong, remembering kindness and enmity . If you know you made a wrong choice, don’t stupidly stay on that rotten path forever . You aren’t a traitor . Ling Hao, set Zhao Qian up . He’ll be one of our brothers from now on . ” Long Chen turned to Ling Hao .

Ling Hao nodded and also patted Zhao Qian’s shoulder, smiling, “Brother, let’s go . I’ll go get you a dwelling . ”

Zhao Qian was incredibly moved, never imagining Long Chen would take him in . Warm tears appeared in his eyes . “I…”

Ling Hao cut him off . “Come on, don’t be like a woman…”

But as soon as he said that his expression changed . He turned to see Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu staring at him expressionlessly .

Ling Hao knew he had misspoke . Sweat rolled down his face, but he also had no explanation . He hastily pulled Zhao Qian out .

“Long Chen, what should we do?” asked Tang Wan-er .

“What possible choices are there? If they want to scheme against me, that’s fine, but if they dare scheme against my friends, I definitely won’t let them off . ” Long Chen’s gaze was as sharp as sword .

“But we have no proof . ” Tang Wan-er knew they couldn’t go to the upper levels of the monastery with just Zhao Qian’s little testimony and some coincidences .

“Looking for proof isn’t my style . Let’s go visit that mountain . ” Long Chen’s expression was icily sinister .
