Chapter 426

“What a rare guest . Who would have thought that sister Hua Biluo would come to see me here?”

There were two people in a tent . In front of Long Chen was a a slender woman in a purple dress .

This woman was precisely the second monastery’s number one expert, Hua Biluo . Long Chen was surprised to see her now . Meng Qi and the others had intentionally vacated the tent, leaving just the two of them .

Hua Biluo smiled . “To rudely turn up unsolicited, please forgive me brother Long . ”

“Please, sit . ” Long Chen waved his hand . There was a table and two seats in the tent that Guo Ran had prepared . “Sister Biluo, I’m quite the boorish man, so please don’t blame me for not knowing etiquette . ”

Hua Biluo gently brushed forward her dress and sat down . Her movements were very graceful and relaxed .

There was a certain kind of air around Hua Biluo that made her seem very poised and graceful, one that would instinctively make a person feel relaxed . But Long Chen disliked it .

That was a kind of n.o.ble mannerism . It could be considered an accomplishment in the secular world . But in the cultivation world, this kind of artificial mannerism could be described with a single word: posturing .

Long Chen knew that Hua Biluo wasn’t doing this deliberately . This was something innate to her, and if his guess wasn’t wrong, her origins were definitely not simple .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen is courteous . Men should be open and candid, living free and unfettered . To tell the truth, I greatly admire you . ” Hua Biluo smiled gracefully, a smile that could deeply move a person .

It could be said that Hua Biluo was exceptionally beautiful . There were few men who wouldn’t like her . That pride in her bones would especially cause a man to feel a strong longing .

It was just like a horse . The more prideful a horse was, the greater the desire you would feel to subdue it .

“Sister Biluo overpraises me . Since you like to be direct, then I also won’t bother with etiquette . Why have you come to find me?” asked Long Chen .

Hua Biluo was slightly surprised by how direct Long Chen was . He had skipped over all those polite manners, getting to the main point without even pouring a cup of tea for her .

However, she quickly reacted and smiled, “Yes, the reason I came here was to form an alliance with you . ”

Hua Biluo was very intelligent, and after this short of an exchange, she could already tell Long Chen’s character . Knowing he didn’t like beating around the bush, she also got right to the point .

“What kind of alliance? You want to handle Han Tianyu together?”

“Yes . I’m sure you’re aware that the first monastery has been targeting you since you entered the secret realm . They set up layers of traps, constantly raising your infamy . That Yin Wushuang is especially repulsive, even placing her target on the ones beside you when she couldn’t handle you . That kind of person is the sc.u.m of the Righteous path . Unfortunately, this junior sister is not strong enough on her own to handle the first monastery, and could only watch as brother Long had to suffer injustice . ”

Seeing her apologetic expression, Long Chen smiled slightly . “Sister Biluo, neither of us are stupid . Since you want to collaborate, shouldn’t you bring out some sincerity?

“Yes, the first monastery was targeting me . I trust that your second monastery definitely knows the whole story .

“But the reason you just watched instead of doing anything was to see just how many trump cards I have, and whether or not I would be worth pulling to your side .

“Only once I revealed enough power to move you did you begin to take sides and protest against my injustice . ”

“ . . . ” Having her thoughts seen through by Long Chen, Hua Biluo’s expression changed slightly . His words were really too direct, and she found herself put on the spot .

“Sister Biluo, I don’t have any other intentions by saying these things . I just want to tell you that if we want to form an alliance, we both need to be sincere . We can’t conceal things from each other, or when we face our enemies together, we’ll be suspicious of each other . If we’re just scheming against each other, there’s no point to it,” said Long Chen .

“I really do have to blush with shame about that matter . ” Hua Biluo’s face did redden slightly . Long Chen had been entirely correct .

Even before the secret realm opened, it was impossible for the first monastery’s covert actions to slip past the attention of the second monastery . Which monastery didn’t have a few spies?

If the first monastery could bribe other sects’ Elders and disciples, then the second monastery could do the same . So they had learned everything that had happened . Furthermore, for something as big as Luo Bing bringing her thirty-sixth monastery’s disciples to grandly punish the 108th monastery, only to be defeated miserably, it was impossible to slip past the second monastery’s ears .

So Hua Biluo was one hundred percent clear on the matter between Long Chen and the first monastery . That was always why she had purposely smiled at Long Chen at the beginning when all the monasteries had gathered .

One reason was to leave behind an impression as a foundation for this alliance . But the other reason was to provoke Han Tianyu . She never paid any attention to Han Tianyu, acting as if she didn’t even see him . So when she expressed such a smile to Long Chen, she succeeded in arousing Han Tianyu’s discontent .
