Chapter 360

“You know Feng Xiao-zi?” Lu Fanger was startled .

“Of course . I made some inquiries,” replied Long Chen .

“Who did you ask?”

“Senior apprentice-brother Qi . ”

“You ended up running into him? Ah! Did you end up killing him?”

Long Chen hurriedly shook his head . “How could a kindhearted person like me so easily take a life? No matter what, he is from the same sect as sister Fang-er . How could I have the heart to kill him?”

Not only did I not kill him, I also gave him an unforgettable experience . Hehe, two naked men in close quarters like that, who knows what kind of story will unfold . If the two end up igniting a spark of pa.s.sion in that s.p.a.ce, then that would at least be a bit interesting .

However, Long Chen had already broken their limbs . Because of his special methods, and because they didn’t have any medicinal pills, it would require at least three months for them to recover .

He had also fed them special medicinal pills . If they tried to open their mouths, then the vibration of their vocal cords would cause their qi and blood to flow in reverse . In less than a two hours, their bodies would explode .

He had already warned them about that, and they were also experts who were capable of sensing the truth . They definitely wouldn’t dare yell for others to come save them . They could only obediently wait there .

Long Chen was planning on going back to properly sort them out once his matters were finished . That was because he felt that killing those two dregs so easily would be too regretful .

“Then that really is unfortunate . Why wouldn’t you kill such a revolting fellow? I feel like vomiting whenever I look at him,” said Lu Fang-er regretfully .

“Does he have enmity with you?”

“It can’t be said to be enmity . It’s just that he’s a loyal lapdog of Feng Xiao-zi . He’s always been monitoring my and Meng Qi’s actions .

“Long Chen, back when Meng Qi went to break off her engagement to you, she lied when she said she was resentful towards her parents’ orders . In truth, she wanted to help your Long family .

“Ever since she joined the Wind Spirit Pavilion, the pavilion master took extra care for her due to her talent . He took her in as an apprentice and went all out to raise her . Furthermore, the pavilion master’s son, Feng Xiao-zi, also possesses an incredibly rare talent . His soul root has reached the high Earth cla.s.s . His soul root is even slightly stronger than Meng Qi’s soul root . ”

Long Chen knew this so-called soul root was just a way to evaluate the talent of soul cultivators . It was an evaluation based on the purest soul energy within their mind-sea .

Back in Phoenix Cry, grandmaster Yun Qi had personally appraised Long Chen, but the testing instrument had been extremely crude, and Long Chen had also hidden his skills . Back then, grandmaster Yun Qi had thought that Long Chen’s soul apt.i.tude had reached the Xuan cla.s.s .

However, as for what level his soul had truly reached, Long Chen didn’t know, as he had never had a chance to test it .

Lu Fang-er continued, “So Feng Xiao-zi and Meng Qi are the strongest members of their generation in our Wind Spirit Pavilion, and they’ve been called… cough, well, they’re the ones our Wind Spirit Pavilion goes all-out to groom .

“One day, the pavilion master got drunk and told Meng Qi that he hoped for her and Feng Xiao-zi to become partners once they reached the Xiantian realm .

“Meng Qi replied that she wasn’t planning on becoming partners with anyone, which was the first time she had ever refused her master’s wishes . The pavilion master was displeased to say the least . Although he never displayed it, Meng Qi could clearly sense it . Later, Feng Xiao-zi repeatedly came to express his goodwill to her, but he was refused by Meng Qi every time .

“After being nagged for so long, Meng Qi finally said she was already engaged and hoped for them to drop the matter .

“But who would have thought, Feng Xiao-zi didn’t give up, and instead stealthily sent people to Meng Qi’s family to investigate that engagement .

“One day, Meng Qi heard that there was someone secretly reporting on every single one of your movements within Phoenix Cry . In fact, Feng Xiao-zi was even planning on secretly eliminating you, along with your entire Long family, all so that Meng Qi would no longer have an excuse to refuse him . ”

“That b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Long Chen couldn’t hold back any longer, and dense killing intent surged out of him, instantly chilling the air .

Lu Fang-er sighed . “I didn’t know about this back then . Meng Qi only told me the whole story afterwards .

“She said she was truly sorry towards you, feeling as if she had deeply wounded you . However, she couldn’t tell you her own difficulties for fear of implicating your entire Long family .

“The fact that you actually straightforwardly handed over the marriage contract, and instead of blaming her, you actually consoled her, taking pity on her, made Meng Qi cry several times after she returned .

“Later, when I brought back that medicinal pill you gave her, she didn’t hesitate at all to consume it .

“When I asked her why she would just directly consume it without investigating what it was first, why she wasn’t afraid of the results, do you know what she said? She said she trusted you completely . ”

Now Long Chen truly felt ashamed of himself . He had never dreamed that there were so many secrets revolving around why Meng Qi had withdrawn from their engagement .

Previously, he had been greatly impacted by Meng Qi’s beauty, infatuated with her immortal, fairy-like temperament, and adored that perfect charm of hers . But it seemed he had forgotten that no matter how beautiful the woman, she still needed to be cherished .
