Liu Lan couldn't take it anymore. The more she looked at this young man, the more she disliked him. She wanted to rush over and give him two tight slaps. She looked at Young Master Hong with disdain and snorted coldly, "Furthermore, the man I like is a man with an indomitable spirit, not a hedonistic son of a rich family who uses his father's power to swindle others. Even if he's strong, he's not good enough for me."
Liu Lan had been forced into a corner, which was why her words were so harsh. When Young Master Hong heard that he was called a wuss, his face turned green with anger. Young Master Hong smashed his chair and sat up, panting heavily as he pointed at Liu Lan and said, "You b * tch, you're just a broken flower. I treated you well, that's why I gave you face and came to ask for your hand in marriage. How dare you go against me? Good, very good, Old Ancestor Vermilion Bird, you didn't do well today. It seems like the relationship between the Hong Clan and the Lingwu family won't get better. Just you wait, in ten days, it won't be the betrothal gifts from the Burnt City, it'll be the experts from the Burnt City. B * tch, do you think you can escape from me? In less than ten days, you'll be lying under my crotch."
After he finished speaking, Young Master Hong glanced at the crowd with a smug look before storming off angrily.
The Old Ancestor Vermilion Bird and Liu Yuan were stunned. After the death of the two Old Ancestors, the Lingwu family was already on the verge of collapse. If the Hong Clan made a move against them now, the Lingwu family would be wiped out.
"Father, I'm sorry, I was wrong …" Liu Lan's heart was in agony. Because of her, she had harmed the entire family. The guilt in her heart was torturing her to the point of insanity. At this moment, she realized how helpless she was. Suddenly, a person appeared in her heart. She remembered the first time she saw him. She remembered that night at the Nine Demons Villa, when Long Chen pinned her down and punished her harshly, causing her to cry in pain. She couldn't even walk normally for a few days …
Nostalgia and infatuation appeared in her heart.
But she knew that everything would come to an end with his departure. Although she didn't do it on purpose, she could only make up for it by committing suicide. No matter what, she couldn't hand herself over to that coward.
Before she died, Liu Lan thought about many things. The deepest impression in her mind was of that proud and aloof youth. Liu Lan was filled with regret. If she could do it all over again, she would have chosen to dote on that youth instead of giving him so much pressure.
"Long Chen, I hope you no longer have any hatred for me in your heart. Back then, I was really too arrogant. I was really laughable. Only today did I realize that I was actually so insignificant that I couldn't even control my own life …"
As these thoughts surfaced in her heart, Liu Lan was already prepared to commit suicide. Right at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside. If Liu Lan didn't hear wrongly, this voice should have belonged to that Young Master Hong from before.
Then, Liu Lan's eyes widened. She saw that Young Master Hong, who had just left, was being dragged in by the collar by another youth. He was at the second level of the Heavenly River Tier, an expert comparable to Emperor Yuan back then. Yet, at this moment, he didn't have any strength left.
Pa.
Young Master Hong was thrown to the ground. He was shocked, but because he had a backer, he was unrestrained. He hurriedly scolded, "Brat, tell me your identity. You actually dared to make a move on me. My father is the City Lord of the Burnt City. He definitely won't let me off. I advise you to quickly kneel down and admit your guilt. Call me Grandfather three times, and I can reluctantly spare your life."
The person who had dragged Young Master Hong and thrown him to the ground was none other than Long Chen.
When they saw Long Chen's appearance clearly, the other three were stunned. However, Long Chen didn't look at them. After listening to Young Master Hong's words, he smiled calmly and stretched out his leg, stepping on Young Master Hong's crotch. With a pa, something exploded, and Young Master Hong immediately let out an earth-shattering scream. His body instantly curled up, and cold sweat broke out on his face. His face had completely turned the color of pig liver.
"Let me, Long Chen, call you Grandfather. Be good, call me Grandfather three times. Otherwise, I will step on you once every breath's time. Let's start now." Long Chen's tone was extremely calm, as though he was joking with Young Master Hong.
Young Master Hong screamed. Very quickly, a breath's time passed. Long Chen stomped down again, and with another pa, something seemed to have shattered. Young Master Hong's screams became even more painful, and his whole body was convulsing. At this moment, there were only two words left in his mind.
Long Chen and Grandfather.
"Grandfather, Grandfather … Ah, Grandfather."
In the midst of his painful screams, Young Master Hong finally called out 'Grandfather' three times. Only then did Long Chen stop his attacks, and with a stomp, he fainted. After Young Master Hong finally stopped screaming, Long Chen muttered to himself, "Someone like you, who will die without descendants, wants to call me Grandfather? What wishful thinking."
After saying that, he turned his head, smiled at the Vermillion Bird Ancestor, and said, "Vermillion Bird Ancestor, long time no see. How have you been?"
The Vermillion Bird Ancestor was already stunned. Her teeth chattered, and she stared at Long Chen with wide eyes, unable to say a single word. This was too unworthy of her status as an Ancestor.
Long Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, and his face darkened. He said to the Vermillion Bird Ancestor, "Send this kid back to Burnt City, and tell his father that if anyone from his family dares to take a step into Yuanling City within a hundred years, I can guarantee that the Burnt City Hong Family will no longer exist in this world. Tell him that these words were said by me, Long Chen."
Long Chen's tone was calm, but it contained irresistible power.
"Do you understand?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes … yes." The Vermillion Bird Ancestor quickly reacted.
"Get lost."
"Yes."
In front of Long Chen, a cultivator at the second level of the Heavenly River Tier was as helpless as a child. The Long Chen who had killed Lin Zichen, who was at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, was undoubtedly the one in front of her. When she thought that Long Chen could kill her with a wave of his hand, the Vermillion Bird Ancestor's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly picked up Young Master Hong, who was already dead, and hurriedly fled.
At this moment, only Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were left in the Qingyang Hall. Liu Yuan was sandwiched between the two of them, and felt extremely awkward. He hurriedly said, "You guys chat, I'll leave first."
After saying this, he also hurriedly fled. At this moment, his heart was filled with raging waves. He knew all of Long Chen's deeds by heart, and he had long since become numb to Long Chen's terrifying growth. He should have long known that Long Chen would return one day, and this time, his return had directly resolved a huge crisis for Liu Lan.
Only now did Long Chen look at Liu Lan with a smug expression. He was confident that his performance just now would definitely cause this woman to shed tears of gratitude. He looked at Liu Lan with a smug expression, and was immediately stunned. This was because he discovered that Liu Lan was currently looking at him coldly, and there was actually killing intent in her eyes.
"Long Chen, if your actions just now spread out, do you know whether I will never be able to get married?" Liu Lan said through gritted teeth.
Towards this fellow, she truly loved and hated him, she was ashamed and angry. Long Chen was always like this, a casual action of his could incite all of her emotions.
Long Chen didn't think of this, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. It wasn't easy for someone to come to propose marriage, but in the end, Long Chen directly cut off his line of descendants. In the future, if anyone dared to have any ideas about Liu Lan, their first reaction would definitely be to cover their crotch first.
"We're all friends, and it's only right and proper for a friend to do anything for a friend. Just now, I saw that he actually spoke rudely to you, so I slightly taught him a lesson. But, I came all the way here to see you, and you're giving me such an expression." Every time Long Chen saw her, he had an urge to tease her.
"Are you sure that you came all the way here to see me?" Liu Lan directly cut to the chase with Long Chen's words.
"That's not it …" Long Chen smiled embarrassedly.
"You can leave." Liu Lan suddenly lowered her head, and suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" She suddenly said this, causing Long Chen to be startled.
"I don't need you to pity me, really. Thank you for just now, but from now on, we have nothing to do with each other, so there's no need to say anything. You can leave." Liu Lan clenched her teeth, and decisively said.
Long Chen fell silent, and it could be seen that right now, Liu Lan was also struggling in her heart. Long Chen knew what she was thinking, she had her own pride, and in the past, she was high and mighty in front of Long Chen, but now, she could only be described as pitiful. She didn't want her pitiful side to be exposed in front of Long Chen, because she realized that she really cared about this man.
After coming back, from Long Chen's gaze, Liu Lan knew that he had grown up a lot, and was already qualified to be called a man.
"Go, from today onwards, don't appear again, I beg you …" Liu Lan said, and tears almost flowed out of her eyes.
Long Chen sighed, and said, "Actually, today I came to say goodbye to you. After all, we've known each other for a while, and can be considered very good friends. This time, I'm going to leave Cangyang Country, and I might never come back. This is the last time I'll see you, and you're going to chase me away just like that?"
Liu Lan wanted him to leave, but it was only a moment of anger. When she heard Long Chen suddenly say this, she suddenly realized that her mind was blank.
From today onwards, they would never meet again.
Such an important place in her heart, wanting to give up on it wasn't that easy.
For a moment, the two of them were silent.
"Didn't you want to fight the Sword Emperor?"
"I already killed him."
"… …"
There was another period of silence.
After a long time, Liu Lan sighed, and said, "Let's go back to Green Willow Residence. You're right, no matter what, we're friends. Since you're going to leave, let me properly receive you. I still want to know what happened to you during this period of time."
Returning to Green Willow Residence.
