Chapter 43 – Dragon BreedTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA

From what Yang Yuntian understood about Long Chen’s personality, such as how he had dealt with the Bai Family, Yang Yuntian knew that Long Chen was the kind of person who sought vengeance for even the smallest grievances suffered.

This time, Yang Yuntian had almost caused his death. Afterwards, Founder Yang handed the final decision over to Long Chen and Yang Yuntian knew that his fate would be more or less tragic.

Yang Yuntian knew that a person like Long Chen would never let someone who wanted to take his life near his side.

However, Long Chen’s words had completely befuddled his expectations.

The other members of the Yang Family heaved a breath of relief after hearing Long Chen’s words. Yang Xueqing had happily smiled too, and sweetly looked at Long Chen.

The reason why Long Chen let Yang Yuntian off the hook was simple. Firstly, when Yang Zhan died, even though Long Chen didn’t expect him to commit suicide, he was still the primary cause for it. His actions had led to the death of Yang Yuntian’s son so it was normal for him to seek vengeance.

So, Long Chen did not think that Yang Yuntian’s behaviour today was that preposterous.

The second reason was because he was the father of Yang Lingqing. Right now, Long Chen had a good relationship with Yang Lingqing. He cared dearly for this cousin of his, so naturally he would not humiliate her father at this point in time.

As for the third and most important reason, it was that from today onwards, Yang Yuntian is no longer his match.

Raising his head and looking at Long Chen, Yang Yuntian was still in disbelief as he said: “Are you sure? You want to call it quits between us?”

Long Chen nodded his head and said: “I only hope that you keep your promise. I do not want to suffer at your hands as I continue living inside the Yang residence. Otherwise, I would be better off killing you.”

Looking at this youth and remembering his rapid and drastic changes, Yang Yuntian was still unable to believe what he saw.

Long Chen’s superior character had already exceeded his expectations, so he could only absentmindedly nod his head and say: “What I, Yang Yuntian, have agreed to do will definitely be done.”

Founder Yang watched this grandson with appreciation and also nodded in approval from deep within his heart. His heart was relieved, and only then did he say: “Alright, since this has already been settled, our entire Yang Family must stick closely together in the future and join forces to fight against the Bai Family. If someone from our family were to hinder this effort, I will be the first to punish him!”

After surveying his surroundings once more, Founder Yang sighed before he said: “I am a little tired. Today, everyone should head back to rest. For the next few days, no one should go out of the house at their whim without my orders. Do you understand?”

At Founder Yang’s orders, the group all nodded their heads and took their leave. However, Long Chen suddenly said: “Grandfather, wait a moment, I have something to say.”

He looked at Yang Xueqing when he said this, but Yang Xueqing was most likely extremely embarra.s.sed and remorseful tonight, as she had not raised her head at all.

Founder Yang said solemnly: “Chen Er, if you have something to say, we will all listen to it.”

“Grandfather, before Father died, he told me to change my surname to Long. I wish for everyone to call me Long Chen from now on. I hope Grandfather will let me fulfill Father’s last wishes.”

Long Chen’s words made everyone a little nervous, especially Yang Xueqing, and her body shuddered a little, but she still did not raise her head.

Long Chen had no strength nor had power in the past, so he could not declare about what Long Qinglan entrusted him. However, his strength had greatly increased after tonight’s matter and he knew it was time.

Founder Yang looked nervously at him. “Chen Er, are you saying that you want to leave the Yang Family? Are you blaming us for mistreating you?”

Long Chen shook his head and said: “I don’t have that idea, half of my blood still comes from the Yang Family and me being in the Yang Family will not change. I only wish to follow my father’s surname.”

On one hand, it was the dying wish of Long Qinglan, and there was also Long Chen’s persistence. Founder Yang naturally had no reason to decline as long as Long Chen was not leaving the Yang Family. He nodded his head and said: “If that is the wish of Long Qinglan, then please carry it out accordingly.”

After finally completing Long Qinglan’s dying wishes, Long Chen nodded his head elatedly. The rest of the family gradually bid their farewells to Founder Yang and trickled out, and Yang Qingxuan was the last person to leave the place. He turned his head back and said: “Father, you’re also tired today, so you should go and have a rest too. Tomorrow, you will still need to take over the mayoral rights. The Bai Family might cause a disturbance.”

Founder Yang shook his head and said: “Let me have some peace for a while and properly condition the state of my mind. Xuan Er, take your leave first.”

Yang Qingxuan could only grudgingly agree without a choice.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

After Long Chen bade his farewells, he continued walking. But after a while, he discovered that Yang Xueqing had scaled over the wall. Earlier, Founder Yang had instructed that no one was to leave the Yang residences without his permission and he never thought that this fellow, Yang Xueqing, would actually just ignore it.

The greatest reward that Long Chen had today was that he was able to make that woman look at him in a different light.

After being separated from her for sixteen years, Long Chen finally felt that blood was truly thicker than water. To him, this was extremely great news. Right now, Yang Xueqing had left the Yang Family. Long Chen was still rather concerned for her safety and followed her.

“Xiao Xi, where did you say she was going?”

“You scoundrel, I don’t want to speak with you!”

Long Chen suddenly felt cold sweat from his pores. Earlier he was afraid that she would strike and put her own life at risk, so he said some rather spiteful words though he never would have thought that this girl would still bear grudges. Long Chen could only coax her: “Be a good girl, earlier my mouth had spouted some nonsense. You just have to treat me as though I am a foolish donkey. Alright? Woof Woof Woof!”

Ling Xi snorted with laughter, and then pointed at him, saying: “That is a dog’s barking, idiot. A donkey makes this sound: Hee-Haw”
