Chapter 501: 501

“Sorry, but I don’t want to . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“Long Chen, perhaps you just don’t know how strong my Shui family is . Let me tell you-” Being refused by Long Chen, Shui Wuhen didn’t get the slightest bit angry . On the contrary, she smiled slightly .

“Monastery head, or perhaps I should call you big sister as that will make us seem closer, I don’t want to join your Shui family because I don’t want to be drawn into your Shui family’s games .

“Perhaps you asked me for my benefit, as I can grow up better within the Shui family . At the same time, the Shui family will gain a powerful helper, a mutually beneficial agreement .

“But considering how large your Shui family must be, is it possible everyone is united? There’s no inner struggle? If someone targeted me, what would I do?

“If you were the Shui family head, then perhaps I might choose to join, because I can sense you truly do care about and trust me .

“But you aren’t the family head . Then what if one day the Shui family decides that for profit, they have to sacrifice me? What would you do then?” asked Long Chen .

When Shui Wuhen first heard Long Call her big sister, she almost laughed . But seeing how solemn he was, emotion tugged at her heart . She now understood a bit of Long Chen’s temperament . Since he had called her big sister, then he truly did think of her as a big sister .

In all her years, this was the first time some treated her so genuinely . Even in her family, there was no one who had had such trust in her .

But the rest of his words caused her heart to s.h.i.+ver . Large families were heartless, just like how sects were heartless . In front of profit, everything else was so insignificant .

Furthermore, with Long Chen’s temperament, if she brought him into her family, then although he might bring some benefits, he would very likely bring trouble with him .

After bringing profit, her family would smile happily towards him, but as soon as he caused trouble, if that trouble exceeded the profit, her family would not hesitate to abandon him . Let alone Long Chen, they wouldn’t hesitate to abandon her as well .

For Long Chen to join the Shui family, there were two likely conclusions: one, Long Chen would die under the Shui family’s scheming, or two, Long Chen would live, while the Shui family…

Thinking of that, Shui Wuhen became covered in cold sweat . She recalled what Ling Yun-zi had said before leaving . That had been a warning as well .

“I understand . I won’t force you to join . In addition, thank you for that appellation . I feel like I’m suddenly much younger,” laughed Shui Wuhen .

Seeing she wasn’t displeased, Long Chen relaxed a great deal . If this matter had caused Shui Wuhen displeasure, then Long Chen would have had no choice but to bring his people to leave the monastery .

Currently, Long Chen was surrounded by enemies on all sides . If he had been alone, he wouldn’t be afraid . But he had others with him . The Dragonblood Legion had just been formed, and had yet to mature . If they were struck now, it would be a fatal blow .

Although Shui Wuhen was in a high position and also used profound schemes, Long Chen felt that she was actually very kind inside, someone worthy of him trusting .

“Hehe, I should be the one saying thanks . With a big sister like you, then wouldn’t I be able to slap whichever sect leader I wanted?” Long Chen smiled mischievously .

“You dare? Let me tell you, don’t even think of using my name to run amok . Otherwise, I’ll still put you in your place,” warned Shui Wuhen .

“I was just joking . Do you think I’m that kind of person?” said Long Chen awkwardly .

Shui Wuhen silently looked at Long Chen, but that gaze clearly said: Yes, I do .

After talking to him for a while, Shui Wuhen now felt closer to Long Chen than before, and she was more casual .

“The Huo family is trying to make it hard on my supermonastery . All our medicinal pills are purchased from the Pill Tower . But a few days ago, I received word that when my subordinates when to purchase medicinal pills, the Pill Tower said they were low on stock and could only sell us a limited amount .

“Hmph, those despicable little people, they want to play this game with me? Are they trying to give me a demonstration of their power? In any case, my supermonastery has quite a few savings . As long as they don’t completely cut us off, we can still endure for a while,” sneered Shui Wuhen .

“Tch, a bunch of counterfeiters also dare be so arrogant? Truly courting death . ” Long Chen also sneered .

“Counterfeiters?”

“Big sister, you probably don’t know this, but the Bone Tempering Pills sold by the Pill Tower have had something done to them to halve their medicinal effect . However, it’s impossible to tell from the outside, and since all the Bone Tempering Pills on the market are monopolized by the Pill Tower and others don’t have the medicinal formula to refine their own, no one knows this secret,” explained Long Chen .

“Is that true?!”

“How refres.h.i.+ng, would I dare trick big sister? Well since you don’t believe me, I’ll refine a furnace of pills for you to see . ”

He directly took out a pill furnace and refined pills in front of Shui Wuhen . His technique was extremely skillful, and he refined very quickly . In just an incense stick’s worth of time, the furnace lid opened, and pill fragrance floated out .
