DBWG Chapter 132 (2/2)
On the way, Beitang Mo did not speak a word. Only after they were almost there did he speak to Yang Lingqing, “Once we’re at the Beitang Family*, listen to everything I tell you to do, though I’m not worried since you seem obedient and not the type to cause trouble. If you have any questions, ask me.”(TL note: Beitang Family = Northern Black Tortoise)
“Alright, I understand.” Yang Lingqing nodded.
Yang Lingqing’s mind was blank, but Long Chen was very worried.
Yang Lingqing was merely at the Dragon Pulse Realm, but an exception had been made for her to enter the inner faction. There were sure to be many who were jealous of her, and even if she did not provoke anyone, there were definitely people finding excuses to provoke her. If she was not careful, she might even die without knowing what happened.
Holding Yang Lingqing’s hand, Long Chen could tell that she was actually nervous, but was not displaying it.
“Qing’er, remember this well. If there’s anyone who bullies you, tell me, no matter how strong they are. I’ll take care of them for you.”
While separating, Long Chen leant his head towards Yang Lingqing’s ear and exclaimed in a tone that could not be declined.
“I understand, but if I don’t do anything, n.o.body will bully me.”
Though Yang Lingqing was afraid, she tried her best to squeeze out a smile and waved her little fist at Long Chen, threatening him, “You need to take care of Sister Lingxi, or else I’ll hurt you.”
Long Chen had no choice but to nod, smiling wryly.
The two of them then truly separated. However, Beitang Mo seemed to have heard what Long Chen said to Yang Lingqing. He looked at Long Chen closely, “Seems like you’ve already submitted the application for the inner faction selection?”
Long Chen nodded.
Beitang Mo suddenly snickered, “Don’t be so naive. The enemies Lingqing will be taking on are going to be far from what you can handle. All you need to do is try harder so that it doesn’t reflect badly on Lingqing.”
Having said this, he flung his robes and left.
As Yang Lingqing left as well, she kept turning back to look at him occasionally. He suddenly realised that she would have to face a lot of matters alone in the future, and Long Chen couldn’t help but be concerned.
“I don’t know if it was the right decision for her to enter the Lingwu Family…”
Long Chen pondered over this matter. In order for Yang Lingqing not to be bullied in the Lingwu Family, he would need to get stronger.
“He said that I don’t have any qualifications to deal with the opponents that Lingqing will face? Hehe, just watch and see…”
Anyone who had intentions of causing trouble for Yang Lingqing had to be within the inner faction. Long Chen knew that in order to protect her, he first had to enter the inner faction.
“I wonder if I’ll have a chance in this inner faction selection…”
Long Chen’s gaze was filled with an unyielding stubbornness as he watched Yang Lingqing leave. Liu Lan took all this in and smiled sweetly, “So? Are you unconvinced?”
She was naturally referring to what Beitang Mo had said before he left.
“I won’t accept it for now. I’ll convince you in the future.”
Long Chen raised his head and stared straight at Liu Lan, spouting very big words.
“You’ve turned gutsy.”
Liu Lan shook her head, seeming to exclaim coquettishly.
Looking at this resolute young man, she felt slightly dazzled.
Noticing her eyes that had turned a little strange while staring at him, Long Chen was startled and laughed, “Why are you looking at me with such emotion? Are you planning to prey on young men?”
Having said this, Long Chen suddenly felt an icy-cold gaze on himself and turned. At a pavilion far away, a young man was staring at him without moving. Long Chen couldn’t tell who it was, nor did he care.
Liu Lan did not get mad at Long Chen’s teasing and instead, played along with him and placed her fair fingers that were like cogongra.s.s on his shoulder, “Of course I’m planning to eat you up. Would you let me?”
Long Chen suddenly went limp. He still found it difficult to tolerate such spicy words and immediately drew back, laughing in embarra.s.sment.
“Coward…”
She rolled her eyes at him and got serious, “What are your plans?”
“Of course, it’s to obtain the beast spirit of the Enchanted Purple Dragon. Time is of essence; I won’t talk to you anymore. Bye.”
Without saying anything more, Long Chen went past her and, uncaring of Liu Lan’s fury, proceeded forth.
“Liu Lan seems to be too enthusiastic towards me, especially in such a public area. What does she want?”
Recalling the man who had been staring at him from the pavilion, Long Chen felt something was off.
“I didn’t even take his girl. What’s his problem?”
