Chapter 1718: Duan Tianya

As soon as Di Long, Yu Xiaoyun, and the others left, Long Chen had felt that Qu Jianying’s gaze was a bit off, and so he had been on guard .

As soon as Qu Jianying’s arm had reached toward him, he had turned and dodged behind the patriarch, hiding .

“You little brat, you dare to dodge?!” raged Qu Jianying .

“Alliance head, if there’s anything to say, we can talk about it properly . Long Chen is already grown up, and treating him like this is a bit unsuitable,” said the patriarch . Since the patriarch was the only one whose cultivation base and seniority were high enough to say such things to Qu Jianying, he could only thicken his face .

“What? Once he’s grown up, I can’t beat him? Just because he obtained first place on the Devil Slaughter Rankings, I can’t admonish him? You little scoundrel, I was in the midst of thinking how to reward you when you stirred up such trouble! He gave me that much trouble so quickly, why can’t I set him straight?!” raged Qu Jianying .

“This matter can’t be blamed on Long Chen . It was entirely those people who went too far . Even the Xuantian Tower couldn’t bear it,” explained the patriarch hastily .

“Don’t bring up such useless things . I’m more aware of Di Long and Yu Xiaoyun’s intentions than you are . I simply find this little scoundrel to be displeasing . So what if I want to vent?” Qu Jianying glared at Long Chen .

“Alliance head, I worked so hard to get first place for you! How can you find me displeasing?” said Long Chen in an aggrieved manner .

“Do you still not realize that these two matters are unrelated? You’re a typical case of a child who will start tearing out roof tiles if you aren’t disciplined every day . If I let you off so easily, sooner or later you’ll cause such trouble that even I won’t be able to handle it . ” Casting Long Chen a sideways glance, Qu Jianying added, “As for that woman, you should be careful . As soon as anyone catches solid proof, you will immediately become the enemy of the world . Your enemies won’t let that opportunity go . When the time comes, even if I were to sacrifice my own life, I wouldn’t be able to protect you . ”

Qu Jianying’s words gravely emphasized the danger . Long Chen’s argument clearly hadn’t tricked her, nor could it trick Di Long, Yu Xiaoyun, and the others .

The only reason Yu Xiaoyun and the others had left was because they had no solid proof, and with Qu Jianying and the Xuantian Dao Sect fully supporting Long Chen, there was no way for them to use force against him .

Just because they had left now didn’t mean that they had given up . It was the opposite . They would be keeping a close eye on him in the future, and if he slipped up, then the venomous viper that had been lying in wait for so long would strike, killing him in one bite . So Qu Jianying had to admonish him, or it would be too late if Long Chen were to act without thinking of the consequences .

However, even Qu Jianying did not ask the truth about Yue Xiaoqian . Clearly, this topic was taboo even for her .

“I understand . ” Long Chen knew that Qu Jianying was doing this for his own good .

The four of them sat down . Long Chen once more told the whole story of what had happened . Although that matter had pa.s.sed, Long Chen’s fury still ignited when he explained how someone from Heavenly Fate Island had sabotaged them .

“Alliance head, I don’t understand . Why would Heavenly Fate Island do so much to target Long Chen? That’s not their usual style,” asked Li Tianxuan .

“Because the old master of Heavenly Fate Island went into seclusion eight hundred years ago, and during this time Duan Tianya is in charge of Heavenly Fate Island . You know Duan Tianya’s relations.h.i.+p with Xuan Jizi, correct?” said Qu Jianying .

Li Tianxuan was startled . “You mean the rumors are true? Xuan Jizi is Duan Tianya’s secret b.a.s.t.a.r.d child?”

“It’s most likely true . Otherwise, considering how Xuan Jizi harmed others in the past, then according to Heavenly Fate Island’s rules, he’d have been executed . The fact that he was only expelled and even managed to establish the grand Heavenly Fate Pavilion in the Grand Han definitely has Duan Tianya’s shadow behind it . Then Xuan Jizi suddenly vanished, while that matter of ‘Long San’ suddenly appeared in Pill Valley right while Xuan Jizi was there . Even without the ability to read fate, I know this matter was done by Long Chen . Duan Tianya has hundreds of ways to determine the true cause of Xuan Jizi’s death . Long Chen, tell me, am I correct?” Qu Jianying looked at Long Chen .

“Cough, actually, it wasn’t done by just me . I did it with the Pill Fairy . If we were splitting the merit, she would be the main culprit,” said Long Chen awkwardly .

He really hadn’t known that Xuan Jizi had such a background . He guessed that the Pill Fairy also hadn’t known . It must be a secret only the senior generation knew .

After a moment’s hesitation, Long Chen finally decided to ask . He greatly longed to know the secret of the original devil race and why they had become enemies with the entire world . “Alliance head, when it comes the original-”

“This isn’t a question you should ask . It’s taboo . It would be best if you never mentioned it . ”
