Chapter 23 (2/2)

Looking at the icy cold expression of Yang Xueqing, the crowd did not dare go near her. Walking out of the cultivator’s market, she actually saw Yang Lingqing standing there waiting for her, so after giving her another look, she blandly asked: “Where is he?”

Yang Lingqing started to get nervous and said: “Chen……Big brother as he walked out earlier, he saw someone so he told me to go back first, and then he chased after him. So I don’t know either……”

“Chasing someone?”

Yang Xueqing was stunned, and then she sneered: “It was just an excuse. He was just afraid of me scolding him, and actually used this little kiddy method. The Long family trickery is indeed first rate……”

Yang Lingqing bit her lips, not saying a word.

She did actually see Long Chen chasing after someone. When that person had seen them, the man had even escaped immediately, but now according to Yang Xueqing it had been just a lie……

She wanted to argue back, but thinking of the relationship between Long Chen and Yang Xueqing, it was more sensible not to say anything.

After walking for a few steps, Yang Xueqing suddenly asked: “Xiao Qing Er, can you tell me about today’s matter?”

Hearing this Yang Lingqing thought she had a chance to justify Long Chen’s actions so she honestly told Yang Xueqing everything that had just happened. She expected Yang Xueqing who had an icy cold expression before to faintly praise Long Chen now. But instead after Yang Xueqing finished listening, her face was still expressionless as she said: “Oh? Being able to defeat two cultivators in the sixth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, huh? Even so, if he had to fight against a seventh level of the Dragon Pulse Realm cultivator, wouldn’t he be powerless to fight back?”

Yang Lingqing watched as Yang Xueqing’s silhouette walked away, she then pouted her lips. Now she suddenly understood why earlier Long Chen in front of Bai Shiji, did not want to retreat even half a step, not even under that immense pressure……

After dashing through a few streets, Long Chen abruptly grabbed the nape of the man who was running in front of him and shattered the knife that the man had tried to use in a sneak attack against him. He then slammed him towards a latrine, where a stench had immediately infiltrated the air. Long Chen’s enormous strength had pushed the man to the wall. The man had a face filled with fear, not being able to even move an inch.

Earlier when Long Chen walked out of the cultivator’s market, he had brushed shoulders with this guy, and saw that he was carrying a knife.

At first Long Chen did not think much of it, but he suddenly remembered that the people who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him had also used a knife like this, and they were also in the second level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. The figure in front of him was similar to those people, so he tried to feel out the guy. He never thought that once he would start to chase him, this guy because of his guilty conscience, would turn around and run. Only at this point did Long Chen confirm that this guy was indeed the a.s.sa.s.sin that escaped.

After chasing for a short period of time, Long Chen managed to corner the guy in this place. He growled softly: “I will not speak any rubbish with you, tell me who solicited my murder, if not, die.”

Long Chen suddenly had become so strong, so this murderer had long ago given up hope. But after hearing that he actually had a chance to reverse the situation, he hurriedly said: “If I say it, can you not kill me then?”

Long Chen nodded his head saying: “But you must leave Poplar Town.”

This was in line with the a.s.sa.s.sin’s thoughts, so he blandly stated: “Very simple, Bai family, Bai Zhanxiong.”

Long Chen had two surprises, one was that this guy had actually plainly stated out the truth, and the second was that his answer was Bai Zhanxiong.

“He only wants to marry my mother, so why would he risk killing me just like that?”

Long Chen could not figure it out no matter how he tried.

At this point the murderer said: “I have not deceived you, earlier when I told you, it was because I also harbour hatred towards him. He agreed to let my daughter go after I succeeded, but now she has already been killed by him! I have merely remained in Poplar Town until now to find a chance to seek revenge!”

Long Chen looked at this man who had bloodshot eyes while speaking of Bai Zhanxiong. He felt that he wasn’t lying, and right now the actual culprit that solicited his murder was not that important anymore. If it was Bai Zhanxiong, then it’s just right, because Long Chen had wanted to deal with him either way.

Releasing his hands, Long Chen looked at him and laughed: “You wanted to claim my life, and today you have ended up in my hands, but I have already promised not to kill you, so just go ahead and eat this pile of s.h.i.t!”

After saying this, before the murderer could react, Long Chen had already pushed him into the pile of s.h.i.t. The dirty water splashed around and the sound of plop could be heard. Long Chen hurriedly avoided and thought: “So close, lucky I was fast enough……”

The sun had begun to set in the west.

“Xiao Xi, lets go to the Big Barren Mountain.”

Lingxi was stumped, and asked: “Why? Are you afraid of your mother beating you? You don’t need to be afraid, as long as I have refined this Dream Spirit Gra.s.s, I can protect you. I won’t let that woman hurt you any longer.”

Long Chen smiled and said: “What does a girl like you know, I am not afraid of her, but there are many people in the Yang residence. So if you are going to refine the Dream Spirit Gra.s.s and check and see what secrets there are in the [Seal of the Dragons], it will be rather inconvenient in the Yang family residence.

“So this was the case, then let’s go, finally there is something yummy to eat……”

Lingxi’s voice although feeble, had a hint of joy and happiness in it.

“To eat?”

“……”

“En! You don’t know, but after I became like this, I’ve never had anything to eat since then. Earlier I found myself some spirit medicine, and the flavour wasn’t bad……”

Long Chen after hearing this girl talking about it happily, actually felt bad on the inside. Not being able to eat and only being able to use spirit medicine to recreate the flavour of food, to a girl who had been brought up in fortune, he knew how difficult that was.

“Xiao Xi……”

“En?”

“There will come a day, when I will let you be able to eat really well.”

“Really? I am a voracious eater, so if you want to feed me it’s not gonna be easy. I am a big eater, this Dream Spirit Gra.s.s is not even enough as a bite for me, so you must work harder!”

“Yes! Your servant accepts your orders!”
