”Greetings, Little Lord. I am Long Xiang!” When the middle-aged man bowed with one knee down, Mu Chen was stunned. He had been wary of him and had been preparing for a fight. Luo Li, Luo Tianshen, and the rest were shocked. Apparently, they were also stunned by the sudden change. They were not expecting the middle-aged man, who had looked fierce earlier, to act in such a way. Moreover, judging from his respectful demeanor, he did not seem to be faking it, but rather, it was sincere.

Luo Li and the rest looked at each other with questions in their eyes. They did not understand what kind of stand this middle-aged man was taking.

Mu Chen was stunned for a while before he regained his senses. However, he did not lower his guard. He stared at the middle-aged man named Long Xiang and said, ”Are you from the Ancient Budur Clan?”

”Yes!” Long Xiang nodded.

”Then you should know what kind of attitude the Budur Ancient Clan has toward me.” Mu Chen gave a faint smile, but his eyes were looking sharply at Long Xiang. ”The people from the Ancient Budur Clan would not treat me like this.”

Long Xiang nodded again with honestly in regards to Mu Chen's doubts. He said, ”Yes, I came from the Ancient Budur Clan, but if it were not for my Lord, I would be dead bones by now. I'm indebted to my Lord. In my heart, my Lord is superior to the Ancient Budur Clan.”

Mu Chen blinked. ”Who is your Lord?”

Long Xiang smiled and said, ”She's your mother, Qing Yanjing.”

Mu Chen stared hard at Long Xiang. He did not see any evasion in the latter's eyes. Moreover, when he spoke the name ”Qing Yanjing,” Mu Chen could sense the respect from the bottom of his heart.

After a moment of silence, his doubt slowly disappeared, and he lowered his guard. Given how those ancient clans like the Ancient Budur Clan worked, they might not resort to using this method just to cheat him. They were formidable clans. As such, it would be more useful to send an authentic Complete Earthly Sovereign or even a Heavenly Sovereign.

Hence, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Long Xiang up from the ground. He smiled. ”Please get up, Brother Long Xiang. If you don't mind, just call me Mu Chen. I'm not fit to be called 'Little Lord.'”

Long Xiang shook his head. ”Your mother is my Lord. Naturally, you're my Little Lord.” He spoke with stubbornness. Apparently, he would not change the way he addressed Mu Chen.

Mu Chen could not help but scratch his head. All these years, he had been working on his own. Although his mother was from the Ancient Budur Clan, and she was an authentic Spiritual Array Ancestral Master, he had never received any special prestige and resources. Hence, he had gotten used to being an ordinary person. He felt extremely uncomfortable when a Sovereign who was a half step to Complete Earthly Sovereign addressed him as ”Little Lord” with respect.

However, Mu Chen did not comment any further when he saw Long Xiang's stubborn eyes. ”Don't mind my previous words, Brother Long Xiang.” In the beginning, when he thought Long Xiang had been sent by the Ancient Budur Clan, he had not been polite to him.

Long Xiang smiled. He said with some consolation, ”Little Lord is indeed the child of my Lord. Not only are you gifted, but most importantly, you reached your current level without Lord's help. That is really not easy.”

This came from the bottom of his heart. At such a young age, Mu Chen's achievements were extremely astonishing. Not only was he the Child of the Continent from the Western Kingdom Continent, but he had also made it to Upper Earthly Sovereign. As mighty as Long Xiang could be, he did not think he had a chance of defeating Mu Chen, even though he was just an Upper Earthly Sovereign. That was the most daunting thing.

”If Little Lord were to grow up and make use of the resources in the Ancient Budur Clan, I think you would make one of the best candidates for the next clan leader. You are not any weaker than the other Little Lord, Xuan Luo.” Long Xiang let out a sigh.

Mu Chen gave a nonchalant smile. He did not feel pity at all. All these years, he was used to being independent. As such, he had no interest in the substantial resources possessed by the Ancient Budur Clan.

”Brother Long Xiang, how is my mother doing now?” Even though Mu Chen was not interested in the resources, he was very concerned with regards to his mother's situation. Previously, he had no connection with the Ancient Budur Clan. He could get details now, since his mother's subordinate had shown up.
