C169 (2/2)

Long Yan looked at Long Yi with disdain and slightly withdrew his gaze. Long Yi was also stunned as he looked at Xiao Sha's expression. That look was definitely not from the fool Long Yan, but who else could it be if the scarred man in front of him wasn't Long Yan? He was truly stupefied.

”Fourth Prince? You... ”Hua'er, he …” Even Bu Batian, who was standing to the side, was stunned. Everyone knew that Long Yan was a fool, and he, Bu Batian, had always thought so. He just didn't expect to see it again today … How could there be a fool? Was this the aura of a domineering young man? It was just that … This was not in line with reality! Weird, why does it feel like everything related to Bu Jinghua has become especially bizarre?

Bu Batian looked at Bu Jinghua with doubt in his eyes, hoping to get a definite answer from him.

”En!” She also knew that since Long Yan dared to appear here and hug her like this, speaking to her like this, he had already decided to remove his disguise as a fool. Although she was not sure why he made such a decision, she knew that it would take a lot of courage for him to make such a decision.

”Grandfather, that's right, it's me, Long Yan …” Hua'er, can you trust that you can hand it to me in the future? ” Long Yan let go of Bu Jinghua and tightly held onto his hand, standing straight in front of Bu Batian, and asked with exceptional sincerity.

”You …” He never thought that his grandson-in-law would not only be a fool, but also someone with such a sense of responsibility. More importantly, it seemed that the relationship between him and Hua'er had developed to a level that even he, an old man, could not compare to!

Looking at his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Bu Batian felt a burst of excitement and gratification.

”Hmm, I'll leave Hua Er in your hands from now on!” Bu Batian tightly held onto their hands as he firmly announced.

The people watching this scene on stage were all stunned for a moment. Very few people had seen Long Yan, and there were quite a number of people who had never seen him before. However, there were also a few who had seen him before.

”So, this is the Fourth Prince, Long Yan!” ”Scar, there's really a scar on his face, it's the Fourth Prince, Long Yan!”

”Fourth Prince? Wasn't the Fourth Prince a fool? Why do I feel like I'm not stupid at all? It's so strange! ”

”Idiot? ”How could that be? Aside from being a little sloppy, this person seems more shrewd than anyone else, how could he be a fool?”

”Fourth Prince, Long Yan …” He's no fool at all! ”

”The fourth prince isn't an idiot …”

The discussions grew louder and louder, and the conclusions were becoming more and more focused.

”Long Yan, it's really you!” Long Yi, who was on the stage, finally believed his words. ”So you're not an idiot. You're just pretending …” This was the conclusion he came to. He stared at Long Yan with shining eyes, not wanting to admit that he wasn't a fool at all. In the past, he had always treated him as one … So it turned out that he was the fool who was played around by others!

”Hmph, I wasn't stupid in my life. I just became stupid when I met some shocks. Now that I've met another even greater blow, I won't be stupid then. I don't want to be stupid either …” Long Yan looked at Bu Jinghua lovingly, smiled lightly, and struck him even harder. He said Bu Jinghua, and Bu Jinghua was able to read from that pair of eyes: So, it was because of her that he ”didn't want to be foolish”!

A sweet feeling surged up within Bu Jinghua's heart and spread throughout his body. It was so sweet, so sweet. The feeling of happiness that came from that sweet feeling was something that he had never felt before!

So, this was the so-called happiness brought by love. Indeed, it was intoxicating!

”You …” Faced with Long Yan's casual explanation, Long Yi also didn't have any room to question him. He had indeed heard of this before, and many people present had heard of it. This kind of explanation also perfectly exempted Long Yan from the crime of deliberately cheating the Emperor, making it impossible for the Emperor to investigate this matter.

”Today, let me replace her and your challenge. How about it?” Long Yan protected Bu Jinghua behind him. He took a step forward and coldly stared at Long Yi. Since he was going to tear off his disguise, then there was no need to hide his strength. After all, he didn't want Bu Jinghua to be harmed.

”You …” Long Yi gritted his teeth in hatred in the face of such arrogant words from Long Yan. He had never thought that the fool that he had treated like dirt would dare to confront him in such an arrogant manner.

”Why are you doing this? Even if you are not stupid now, you are still not a match for second brother, and besides, you are not worthy of being a fool! ” On the side, Long Lie finally cleared up the situation. He stretched his neck to protect the dignity of Long Yi. He didn't want to let Long Yi, who he had always been following, be humiliated by a fool like that.

”Hmph, it is not up to you two to decide whether we are worthy or not. It is more important to compete!” In the face of such insults, Long Yan simply smiled indifferently in response, completely displaying his royal demeanor.

He stared at Long Yi, who did not know how to respond, with a pair of deep yet sharp eyes. He slightly raised his brows and provoked him, ”Besides, she is my woman now. Protecting her is my responsibility!” He looked at Bu Jinghua and instantly became exquisite and gentle.

Bu Jinghua looked up and returned the gaze with the same gentleness. It turned out that the frosty and frosty Bu Jinghua still had such a gentle side to him. However, the person he was facing was indeed another man … Long Yi felt quite upset when he saw this scene. This woman, who had once chased him into a coma, had now changed just because of a man who was inferior to her!

The hateful thing was that the man who was inferior to him was now bravely challenging him! Just as Long Yi was thinking angrily, Bu Jinghua stepped forward and resolutely said, ”This is my written challenge, I alone can complete it. You, stand obediently to the side, do you understand?”

This was also a result that Long Yan had long predicted. However, he really didn't want her to be injured, and even though her internal force had increased, she was still far from being comparable to Long Yi. If they were to really fight, she would definitely be injured!

”But you …” Long Yan wanted to make his final rebuttal, but before he could finish his sentence, Bu Jinghua had already made up his mind, ”You should understand me, right?” With a rhetorical question, Long Yan swallowed back everything he was going to say. That's right, he understood her. She was a woman that tried to be brave but still tried to be strong. He knew this very well.

Thus, she must complete today's duel on her own!

This was the woman he liked! He was the only one!
