In the Dongfang Clan, the four pavilions were arranged in four corners. Long Chen had been to the other three pavilions, so he quickly figured out the general location of the Xuanyu Pavilion.
Because he was worried about Yin Mengyao's safety, the Long Chen walked a bit fast. Not long after, he saw the Xuanyu Pavilion in the distance. Compared to the other three pavilions, the Xuanyu Pavilion was a bit more exquisite.
Long Chen walked into the Xuanyu Pavilion without saying a word. As soon as he entered, he saw a group of people gathered together and cheering. Long Chen hurried over.
Surrounded by the crowd, Long Chen could vaguely see two people fighting. From afar, Long Chen only knew that there were two women. One of them was obviously Yin Mengyao, but the other one was unknown to Long Chen.
This was a young girl who was about the same age as Yin Mengyao. Her beauty was not inferior to Yin Mengyao at all. At this time, she was wearing a light yellow dress. During the battle, the dress fluttered like a colorful butterfly. It was very beautiful.
Yin Mengyao's appearance was cold, but this girl was cold. Her eyes hid a lot of arrogance.
Upon closer inspection, Long Chen realized that this woman's cultivation was much stronger than Yin Mengyao's. Rather than saying that the two of them were sparring, it would be more accurate to say that the woman was toying with Yin Mengyao.
"People from other clans are really useless. Sister Tianxuan just casually attacked and she was played around."
"That's natural. People from other clans all work for us. How could there be any decent experts?"
The people outside the arena were discussing without restraint and pointing fingers at Yin Mengyao's sorry figure.
At this time, Yin Mengyao was in danger under the opponent's threat. However, the opponent did not directly defeat her. Instead, she used her as a training target and tried out all kinds of combat skills.
At this time, Yin Mengyao was sweating profusely. She was a bit out of breath and her body was very tired. However, she was not someone who would easily admit defeat, so she persevered.
"Being able to persist until now, it seems that your Flowing Water Holy Physique has already begun to take shape. Not bad, try this move of mine."
As she spoke, she threw a light punch towards Yin Mengyao's head. If Yin Mengyao's beautiful face was hit, she would become an ugly monster.
Since Long Chen was here, how could he allow this to happen?
He was just about to attack when a wave of hearty laughter suddenly resounded, and then a figure pounced swiftly towards Yin Mengyao. The figure grabbed Yin Mengyao's waist like a bolt of lightning and protected her as they retreated, allowing her to escape from the woman's attack range and allowing Yin Mengyao to escape danger.
This was a young man who was extremely handsome. His skin was white and his nose bridge was straight. However, his eyes were smiling, making him look somewhat evil.
"I say, Little Sister Tianxuan, you've already tortured her for an hour. You should just let it go."
The man was still hugging Yin Mengyao's waist, enjoying the softness of Yin Mengyao's body as he smiled evilly.
"Dongfang Tianxing, are you going to meddle in other people's business?" The girl named Dongfang Tianxuan smirked coldly.
"Alright, my dear sister, please give me some face in front of this beauty. How about it?" Dongfang Tianxing said quickly.
Seeing his excited look, it seemed that this target was very much to his liking. Dongfang Tianxuan knew what kind of person this cousin of hers was. However, Yin Mengyao did not seem to be related to her. Now that her opponent had been snatched away by Dongfang Tianxing, she was no longer in the mood and turned to leave.
However, she was suddenly hugged by a stranger. Furthermore, Dongfang Tianxing's words made her feel very uncomfortable. Yin Mengyao's expression turned cold as she pushed Dongfang Tianxing away.
"Little thief, let go of me."
"Who are you calling a little thief? Little girl, you're really pretty, and you've even joined the Dongfang Clan. Look, we're so fated."
Dongfang Tianxing reacted quickly and grabbed Yin Mengyao's fair hands. He lowered his head and looked at Yin Mengyao with a faint smile.
Long Chen knew that Dongfang Tianxing was strong. However, he could not take liberties with Yin Mengyao right under his nose. No matter what, Yin Mengyao was still his adopted sister. No matter what, Long Chen would not allow anyone to bully her.
"Scram!"
Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out, startling the crowd. They then saw a young man dashing towards Dongfang Tianxing. Without saying anything, he threw a punch towards Dongfang Tianxing's face.
"Who?!"
Dongfang Tianxing's expression changed. He had not expected someone to attack him here. For a moment, he lost his elegant demeanor and let go of Yin Mengyao pathetically. He took a few steps back, and only then was he able to dodge Long Chen's attack.
Long Chen took the opportunity to catch Yin Mengyao, shielding her behind him. At this moment, the rest of the crowd finally reacted. They looked at Long Chen in astonishment.
"Which beast are you?!"
Looking at Long Chen, Dongfang Tianxing's demeanor was ruined. His initially evil eyes turned cold instantly.
"Beast, who are you insulting?!" Long Chen shouted at Dongfang Tianxing without the slightest bit of fear.
Seeing that this lad still dared to shout at him, Dongfang Tianxing's expression sank as he shouted coldly, "Beast, I'm insulting you!"
"So, it's a beast insulting me. Hehe, no wonder."
Long Chen suddenly burst out laughing. Ever since he was young, he had played this little trick countless times. However, it always worked.
Towards Long Chen's laughter, the crowd could not understand it. However, they soon figured out the reason behind it, causing their faces to twitch.
When Dongfang Tianxing insulted him as a beast, Long Chen asked in return, "Beast, who are you insulting?!" Dongfang Tianxing was provoked, and was immediately tricked by Long Chen into saying that Dongfang Tianxing was a beast.
"You're courting death."
Being toyed with by Long Chen, Dongfang Tianxing's expression instantly darkened. Just as he was about to make a move, Long Chen coldly said, "Dongfang Tianxing, if I tell my foster father about you harassing my Big Sister Mengyao, you know my foster father's personality. Touching his foster daughter is equivalent to slapping his face. If you have the guts, you can try."
After hearing Long Chen's words, Dongfang Tianxing thought of Dongfang Xuanxiao, and his expression sank. Dongfang Xuanxiao's personality was unfathomable. If he knew that he had bullied Long Chen and Yin Mengyao, his Fourth Uncle would definitely give him a good beating.
Dongfang Tianxing's mother was Dongfang Xuanyu. He knew that even his mother couldn't do anything to Dongfang Xuanxiao, and could only rely on his Eldest Uncle's prestige. Therefore, even though he wanted to teach Long Chen a lesson, he stopped.
"You're that Long Chen." Dongfang Tianxing coldly stared at him.
"I'll never change my name or surname," Long Chen said.
After learning that he was Long Chen, who had performed the best in the inner tribe selection, the crowd sized him up. No one else had the guts to go against Dongfang Tianxing.
At this moment, the young girl, Dongfang Tianxuan, was also looking at Long Chen.
Initially, she didn't care much about this young man. However, after seeing how he dared to carry Dongfang Tianxing on his shoulders and force him to stop, Dongfang Tianxuan couldn't help but admire his courage.
However, how could Dongfang Tianxing reduce the anger in his heart?
It was impossible for Dongfang Tianxing to swallow his anger. He rolled his eyes and said with a cold smile, "You dare to insult me? It seems like your strength is quite extraordinary. I wonder if you dare to fight me in the Arena of Life and Death?"
There was a Arena of Life and Death in the outer tribe, and so did the inner tribe. In the Arena of Life and Death, as long as both parties agreed to it, they could have a real battle, with life and death disregarded.
But, although this was the case, most of the participants didn't have to fight to the death. After all, they were all from the same tribe, so there was no need for them to have a deep grudge.
"I'm not interested in the Arena of Life and Death. I've just broken through to the Earth Core realm, and you're already a Heavenly Core warrior. Don't you think it's funny and embarrassing to fight me in the Arena of Life and Death?" Long Chen teased.
"Quibbling?"
A mocking smile emerged on Dongfang Tianxing's face. "You don't even dare to accept a challenge? Long Chen, are you a man? I don't think you're a man, otherwise, why wouldn't you have the guts to fight me?"
Dongfang Tianxing's words caused the crowd to burst into laughter. Since Long Chen dared to offend Dongfang Tianxing, and at the same time, he didn't have the guts to accept the challenge.
At first, when Dongfang Tianxing saw how tough Long Chen was, she thought he was a tough guy. That's why she was interested in him. But, when she saw Long Chen didn't have the guts to accept the challenge, she immediately lost her interest.
Right at this moment, Long Chen's expression didn't change at all. He didn't get angry, instead, he laughed and said, "If I accept the challenge, not only will I not have the guts, I'll also lose my brain. As for whether I'm a man or not, I'll have to prove it in bed. So, do you have any good girls that you want to recommend to me? As long as they look good enough, I won't reject you, haha."
"You!" Dongfang Tianxing was once again defeated in the battle of words.
"If you don't have the guts to accept the challenge, then you're a coward! Looking for an excuse to avoid the challenge, Long Chen, you're a coward among the cowards!"
Long Chen didn't want to waste any more time with Dongfang Tianxing. He held Yin Mengyao's hand, and without another word, they left the Profound Rain Pavilion under the gazes of the crowd.
During the entire process, Yin Mengyao was scared out of her wits by Long Chen. She thought that Long Chen would be beaten up by Dongfang Tianxing, but Long Chen used the pressure from Xuan Xiao to defuse the situation.
This made Yin Mengyao feel admiration for her younger brother.
"Although Long Chen's talent in cultivation is slightly lower than Xiao Lang's, his willpower and wisdom are much stronger than that silly child Xiao Lang."
Looking at Long Chen, Yin Mengyao was a little dazed. Compared to the first time they met, Long Chen seemed to have grown a lot stronger.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Profound Rain Pavilion, they happened to bump into Dongfang Tianyu who was walking in. Long Chen and Dongfang Tianyu looked at each other, and fierce sparks flew between the two of them.
However, Long Chen didn't dare to stay here any longer, and quickly left.
After Long Chen left, Dongfang Tianyu arrived. Seeing the atmosphere, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly moved in front of Dongfang Tianxing and said, "Brother Tianxing, how was it? The Yin Mengyao that I recommended to you is to your liking, right?"
Dongfang Tianxing's gaze turned gloomy, "She is, but she's Fourth Uncle's adopted daughter, so it's not easy to make a move on her."
Dongfang Tianyu suddenly had an idea, and pulled Dongfang Tianxing to the side, "Fourth Uncle is indeed difficult to deal with, but you don't have to make a move on him. Now that the two of them are in the clan, we have plenty of opportunities."
Dongfang Tianxing's eyes lit up, "Little Brother Yu, you have quite a lot of ideas. I still want to kill Long Chen, what ideas do you have?"
"Long Chen." Dongfang Tianyu smiled, "When we fight for the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd, I will kill him."
