The newcomer's appearance was extremely similar to Su Yuji, making people think that Su Yuyao had returned. However, Long Chen could tell at a glance that she was Su Yuji. There was a big difference between Miss Ji and Miss Yao. Su Yuyao was unruly and sinister, but Su Yuji was quiet and elegant. Her temperament was calm and indifferent, making people intoxicated and fascinated.
Her fiery-red dress was like flames, shrouding her snow-white body. She walked on the wind and soon arrived in front of Long Chen.
Looking at the commotion below, she roughly knew what had happened. She smiled and said, "Yao-er has been here before."
Long Chen nodded.
Su Yuji said helplessly, "Yao-er has a bad temper. You must have been frightened. I came here today to inform you of something good. Let's talk in private."
To be honest, Long Chen felt that this Su Yuji was much more difficult to deal with than Miss Yao. He secretly wondered what good news she would bring. On the surface, he agreed and the two left the place, heading toward the place where they had talked during the day.
After they left, the martial artists of the Martial God Squad looked at each other in dismay.
The three commanders stood up with their injuries and looked in the direction of Long Chen with complicated expressions.
"Not only did he not kill us, but he also protected us …"
Jiang Yan was a little dazed.
"Commander, are you guys alright?"
Everyone rushed over and asked with concern.
"We're fine." Xiong Ba's voice was hoarse. What happened earlier had given him a huge shock.
"Commander, this Long Chen doesn't seem to be bad. Did he really kill our brothers?" The crowd below asked.
This question made the three commanders tremble.
Long Chen could be considered to have saved their lives this time. However, if they didn't push the blame to him, they would be exposed. If they knew about this, how could they lead the Martial God Squad in the future? However, if they concealed it, it would be framing Long Chen.
Faced with this question, Xiong Ba and the others were speechless.
"Maybe."
Xiong Ba casually replied and then changed the topic, "Say, Miss Ji is so good to Long Chen. What good news do you think she is talking about?"
"Could it be that Young City Lord Su Zhen has decided to let him go and not imprison him?"
Everyone felt that this was very likely, but Xiong Ba shook his head, declining to comment.
He understood in his heart that before Long Chen's value was fully displayed, Su Zhen would never let him leave.
… …
A pavilion in the mountains.
In the dark night, Su Yuji was like a ball of enchanting flames, blooming in front of Long Chen. Under the flames, her skin that was as smooth as milk, was flowing with light, and her exquisite and delicate body sat there, revealing her curves, full of infinite temptation.
Long Chen stood at the edge of the pavilion, his black clothes swaying in the mountain breeze. He went straight to the point and said, "Miss Ji, can you tell me now what the good news is? Could it be that Su Zhen has decided to let me go?"
He was one of the strongest experts in the Eternal God Realm.
The other party smiled and said, "You must be joking with me. Your talent far surpasses mine, my father will not let you go so easily."
Long Chen slowly nodded, his voice cold, and said, "Since that's the case, all the other good news is bad news to me."
Su Yuji giggled, she clasped her snow-white fingers and said, "I won't keep you in suspense. My good news is … my father wants to betroth Yao-er to you, what do you think? After all, you are a pair of quarrelsome lovers, no discord, no concord."
Long Chen was scared three steps back, but when he saw Su Yuji giggling like a moving flower, Long Chen realized that she was joking.
"No matter what, my sister is still beautiful, it's just that her temper is a bit bad. Is it that bad?" She asked casually after laughing.
"Miss Ji, let's get down to business." Long Chen was indeed scared by her joke.
Su Yuji said mysteriously, "The real good news is similar to what I said."
Similar.
What did that mean?
Could it not be Su Yuyao, but …
The person in front of him looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. Long Chen concluded that if she were to marry him, she would not be so calm.
Only then did Su Yuji say, "My father has already informed the majority of the Su family in the Ancient City of War God that he wants to take you as his godson. From today onwards, you will have the same status and identity as us, and you will also be treated extremely well. Your potential will also be fully excavated, and you will soon become a member of the Ancient City of War God. In the future, you will even become an expert and rule the world."
This news was too sudden for Long Chen.
It was not good news.
Perhaps to the people of the Ancient City of War God, this was an extremely good thing. It was something that everyone yearned for even in their dreams. To have a status comparable to Miss Ji, how awe-inspiring and glorious was that? It must be known that Su Yuji was the granddaughter of the Ancient City of War God's City Lord. In the entire Dragon God Domain, she could be considered a group of people with the most respected status. Countless people yearned and worshiped her.
Whoever married her would basically reach the heavens in a single bound.
Long Chen's treatment was different. Su Zhen wanted to nurture him as his own son. This meant that Long Chen was like a sparrow that flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix. Overnight, his status would undergo a heaven and earth change. There would be countless people envious of Long Chen's treatment, and it would make countless people envious and crazy.
In the entire Ancient City of War God, the Su family had close to ten thousand people, but the true direct descendants numbered less than a hundred. Long Chen could be considered to have entered the direct descendants.
If he became Su Zhen's godson, his status would be above the Su family's branch family.
To anyone in the Ancient City of War God, this was an extremely good thing.
However, Long Chen frowned deeply. He had always been against the Ancient City of War God, and he hated the cage Su Zhen had set up even more. He wanted to leave this place immediately. How could he follow Su Zhen's idea and be used by him to become a capable general in his family, and even fight for him in the future?
Long Chen was unwilling to be someone else's son. Even if there were great benefits, he would not agree. Back then, he had only recognized Dongfang Xuanxiao. Dongfang Xuanxiao was indeed weak to him, but Long Chen did admire him, but Su Zhen could not.
Therefore, he flatly refused, "I can't agree to this. I'm used to freedom. I don't want to enter the Ancient City of War God, nor do I want to be his godson. Just tell him what I want. This is not good news for me, it's bad news."
Long Chen instantly turned hostile. He took a few steps back and walked out of the pavilion. He did not want to say another word to Su Yuji. In the blink of an eye, Su Yuji was already in front of Long Chen.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yuji was already in front of him. She looked at Long Chen with an incomprehensible gaze, and anxiously explained, "Long Chen, why would you have such a reaction? You have to think clearly about what it means to be my father's adopted son, to be a superior person in a noble place, to be looked up to by others. My father thinks highly of you, and will do his best to nurture you, and his efforts will not be any weaker than his three children. This is a treatment that everyone envies, and even though you were brought back from captivity, and even though you have enmity with Yao'er, these are just small matters. You are a man, so how can you care about these small matters? Yao'er is just a child, and I can see that my father really thinks highly of you.
You don't have any other intentions. "When Long Chen saw him stop him, he did indeed think for a moment. Su Zhen indeed seemed to love talent, or perhaps he really thought highly of him, but his intuition told him that the other party's regard was not a good thing. What Su Zhen naturally wanted was for Long Chen to treat the Ancient City of War God as his home, to swear his life to protect him, as well as his children. It was just that Long Chen did not have the slightest sense of belonging in his heart.
His personality was free, and he had never been forced to have a sense of belonging.
So he shook his head and said, "I really can't do it. I'm sorry, I like freedom. What you've given me is not what I want."
But so what? You have no background, no one to protect you. So what if you are an ultimate mystical dragon? We are just kind enough to give you a backer. If you reject us because of Yao'er, then can I think that you are a short-sighted, petty, and cowardly man? "Su Yuji was stunned. She was a little sullen. She finally calmed down with great difficulty, but her expression became somewhat cold. She said word by word," I am quite clear about your current situation. Super Mystical Dragon, besides you, there is only one person in the entire Martial God Ancient City. But so what?
"You're wrong. I just don't want to be someone else's son." Long Chen interrupted him.
Su Yuji was extremely speechless. Seeing how determined Long Chen was, she said, "Since that's the case … then I'll speak the truth. I'm just here to inform you. My father was the first to announce this matter, so almost everyone in the Su Family knows you and is interested in you."
Long Chen didn't expect it to be like this. He sneered and said, "So, for the sake of Su Zhen's face, I don't have the right to refuse. He's high and mighty. With just a word from him, I've already been recognized by your Su Family as his adopted son, right?"
Su Yuji nodded and said, "You're right. It's true that you're conflicted now, but in the future, you'll understand that my father is a person who doesn't put on airs. You don't even need to call him adopted father, because most of the time, he only stays in his study and won't appear even once in a few years. He's just giving you an identity that no one dares to touch. I hope you can understand his painstaking efforts. Otherwise, with so many of Yao 'er's friends, they'll find trouble with you one by one, and you'll never have peace."
Painstaking efforts.
Long Chen wasn't a child. He wasn't so easily deceived by the other party.
But he understood that if the other party were to force him on this matter, with his meager strength, how could he resist?
"Damn it."
Long Chen's heart was burning with rage, but his eyes were calm as he looked at the other party.
