From this man's calm eyes, Dongfang Tian Xuan could only see madness.
She could understand that the item that originally belonged to him was now in the hands of someone else. Not only would Dongfang Tian Chen feel uncomfortable in his heart, but in front of Bei Tang Mo and the rest, without an Earth-ranked Divine Weapon, he wouldn't be able to lift his head up high.
This was also the reason why Dongfang Tian Chen had always been a man of few words.
After they sat down, the group of people started to discuss the matters regarding the Ancient Mystic Realm. Among them, there were a few who hated Long Chen, and they would occasionally glance in Long Chen's direction. One of them was Bei Tang Mo.
His hatred for Long Chen was even more intense than Dongfang Tian Chen's. That was because Long Chen was the one who caused him to lose face, as well as Yang Lingqing. Not only that, every single time, Long Chen would snatch away the meat that was already in his mouth. Ever since he was young, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
The venom in the eyes of Bei Tang Mo and the rest was completely ignored by Long Chen. He continued to chat with Mo Xiaolang, and the two of them gradually became more familiar with each other. They almost had their arms around each other's shoulders.
"From what I see, they all seem to hate you to the bone," Mo Xiaolang said.
"Who asked me to be so charming, to have lured away all the people who like them," Long Chen said shamelessly.
At this moment, the sounds of quarreling suddenly drifted over. Long Chen frowned. It turned out that the youths at the two tables beside him had drunk too much, and a conflict had broken out. Right now, they were actually fighting in the middle of the restaurant. In an instant, the chickens were flying, and the dogs were jumping. Bowls and chopsticks were flying everywhere, and some of them were even smashed towards Long Chen.
Encountering such an unlucky situation, Long Chen didn't want to meddle in it. He was about to leave when unexpectedly, Bei Tang Mo also saw the situation below. His brows twitched, and he smashed the wine jar in his hands towards the quarreling below.
Pa.
With a loud explosion, the wine jar was smashed in the middle of the crowd. Under Bei Tang Mo's immense strength, the wine jar's fragments and wine flew everywhere. Instantly, a few people were injured, and screams of agony could be heard.
"What are you arguing about? This is the territory of the Lingwu family. Get out of here!"
Bei Tang Mo's eyes emitted a cold light, scaring the people who were arguing into silence. The entire Yuanling County was the Lingwu family's territory. Who dared to offend the Lingwu family?
Long Chen knew that Bei Tang Mo was making use of the quarrel between the people around Long Chen to give Long Chen a show of strength. At this moment, under Bei Tang Mo's deliberate control, the flying fragments flew towards Long Chen. If it wasn't for Long Chen's resistance, he would have been injured by these strong fragments.
Bei Tang Mo laughed coldly in his heart. He had done this very discreetly. If others were to pursue this matter, he could totally say that he didn't do it on purpose. However, he neglected Long Chen's current arrogance.
"Using such a despicable method to deal with me."
Long Chen laughed coldly. He didn't back down. Instead, under everyone's gaze, he grabbed a wooden table filled with dishes and bowls beside him and exerted force. That heavy table immediately flew into the air and smashed towards Bei Tang Mo's direction at lightning speed.
Dang, dang, dang.
Countless dishes and bowls fell to the ground. Instantly, food scraps filled the air, flying towards Bei Tang Mo and the rest.
For things like delicacies, once they were out of the plate, they were considered trash. At this moment, such a large amount of trash instantly enveloped them. Even if they were all extremely skilled, they were still in a sorry state. For a girl like Dongfang Tian Xuan, just a little bit of sauce on her clothes caused her to scream out in pain.
The originally elegant young masters and beautiful ladies were now in a complete mess like a nest of ants. With great difficulty, they managed to dodge the trash. Only then did they look at Long Chen in anger. Under Bei Tang Mo's lead, the group of people had already rushed downwards.
"Long Chen, what are you doing? Are you seeking death?"
Bei Tang Mo took the lead. Among the group, he was the angriest. But in truth, Dongfang Tian Chen, who was behind him, had a gloomy expression on his face. The killing intent in his heart was also extremely strong. At this moment, a cabbage was still stuck to his neck. It was a pity that he didn't notice it.
"Who's seeking death?"
Long Chen waved his hands nonchalantly. After that, he looked at Bei Tang Mo and said, "Are you trying to play your childish tricks in front of me? The wine jug you threw earlier was obviously meant for me, Long Chen. You toasted me, and I served you food. Isn't that a good thing? What's with your face? Why is it so red? Could it be that it's a monkey's butt?"
After saying that, Long Chen laughed out loud without the slightest scruple.
"Long Chen, don't go overboard with your words. Do you really think that we won't dare to make a move against you?" Dongfang Tian Xuan looked at Long Chen angrily.
"If you want to touch my big brother, you'll have to get past me first."
Mo Xiaolang hadn't said much before, but now he was standing beside Long Chen. Although his eyes were calm, when he attacked, he didn't hesitate at all.
Against Mo Xiaolang, even with the Xuanwu Divine Axe, Bei Tang Mo didn't have much confidence. The others didn't have much confidence either. They knew that Mo Xiaolang was old friends with Long Chen, and it was Long Chen who had rescued him from the Star Fiend Prison. It was normal for Mo Xiaolang to treat him with sincerity now.
"Could it be that no matter what, we really can't touch that damned Long Chen?"
Dongfang Tian Xuan felt helpless in her heart. She had never thought that as the people with the highest status in Yuan Ling County, they would be suppressed by a pair of brothers.
"Tian Xuan, I want to …" Right at this moment, Dongfang Tian Chen took a step forward and stood next to Bei Tang Mo. Long Chen's unscrupulous words and arrogant smile were something he couldn't stand, and he wanted to teach Long Chen a lesson.
"Big brother, hold it in for now." Dongfang Tian Xuan was worried.
"This Long Chen has just broken through to the Heavenly Core realm, and he can barely defeat you. If not for his teacher, if not for Mo Xiaolang, the only reason he could live until now is because he is someone who relies on others to survive. If we are stepped on by such a despicable man, where is our pride? Let me ask you, if you don't attack now, where is the pride of the Lingwu family?"
At the end of his speech, Dongfang Tian Chen almost roared out.
This roar had caused all the anger in his chest to explode. Only now did everyone realize that Dongfang Tian Chen, who had been silent all this time, was actually the one who hated Long Chen the most.
His words of "where is our pride" had given every single Lingwu family young man a huge boost of motivation. Even Nan Gong Huang and Ximen Xiaodie looked at each other, then they stood in front of the group and prepared to attack.
There were five Early Heavenly Core warriors, and three powerful warriors who had just broken through to the Heavenly Core realm. It would be difficult for them to defeat Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang.
"Brothers and sisters, Tian Chen is right, we are the proud Lingwu family, we are the rulers of Yuan Ling County, we can't let these two dogs climb over our heads and show off their strength!" Seeing Dongfang Tian Chen being so hot-blooded, Bei Tang Mo was excited as well.
Looking at their stupid and angry faces, Long Chen was speechless. What Long Chen was really afraid of now were those Late Heavenly Core warriors from the Lingwu family, not them.
"Big brother, let's do it!" Mo Xiaolang, who was standing next to Long Chen, asked.
"If the enemy moves, I'll beat him up. If the enemy doesn't move, we won't move either. There's still a long way to go, and as long as one's martial arts is strong enough, there will be plenty of opportunities to beat someone up," Long Chen said.
This huge conflict had caused everyone in the restaurant to shrink into a corner, especially those who had quarreled and caused the conflict between the two sides. Right now, they were trembling in fear.
Among these people, there were a few who were capable enough to guess the identities of the two sides. Dongfang Tian Chen and his men had a great reputation in Yuan Ling City, but Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang didn't have much of a reputation. But after today, their reputations would definitely spread far and wide.
Who would dare openly fight against the top geniuses of the Lingwu family when there were only two of them?
"Which force are these two young men from? Looking at their courage, I think they are pretty strong."
"Who knows? We'll know when we see them. Maybe they are just two hotheads. They don't look like they are from the Morning Light Business League or the Beast Soul Palace. I think they are from some small forces that don't know what's good for them."
Such discussions could be heard incessantly.
Long Chen was prepared. If his opponents really couldn't control themselves, he wouldn't mind warming up before the battle in the ancient ruins.
Right at this moment, all the young men and women from the Lingwu family were filled with righteous indignation. They looked at each other and were about to strike. But right at this moment, a sharp shout came from the door.
"Stop!"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Dongfang Xuanyu.
She walked into the restaurant with a cold expression and looked at both sides. She obviously hated Long Chen, so she quickly stood beside the younger generation of the Lingwu family.
When this woman came, Long Chen knew that today's fight wouldn't happen.
"What's going on?" Dongfang Xuanyu turned around and asked.
"Auntie, Long Chen humiliated us. His words were too much, so …" With regards to Long Chen's words, Dongfang Xuanyu, who had always been high and mighty, couldn't bear it. When she thought of the torment Dongfang Tian Chen had gone through, she couldn't help but want to strike and give Long Chen two tight slaps.
Dongfang Tian Chen was once her goal.
"Humiliation."
Dongfang Xuanyu couldn't take it anymore. She looked at the children of the Lingwu family with heartache. In fact, she also wanted to strike, but she was the only elder. She should be rational and not ruin her father's plans. So she gritted her teeth and prepared to stop the fight.
However, this didn't mean that she would let Long Chen off so easily.
Dongfang Xuanyu suddenly came back to her senses. She stared coldly at Long Chen and said, "Little bastard, you're getting more and more arrogant. Don't you know that there's a limit to your arrogance? If you act like this, you'll definitely die a horrible death in the future."
"What does that have to do with you, the Great Eastern Beauty?"
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to argue with this damned woman. Under the angry gazes of the group of people, he directly told Mo Xiaolang to leave and left.
"Long Chen, you …"
Being ignored just like that, Dongfang Xuanyu was infuriated. She turned around and saw the younger generation of her family vomiting blood. She finally made a decision in her heart.
"Even if I die, I want you dead."
