Tonight was definitely his most resourceful night, and also his most awe-inspiring night. This was because he could make Bai Lan, who was terror-stricken by his name, speechless.
At this time, Bai Lan was still looking at the young man with a smile and didn't speak. After a while, when Situ Yu was still a little scared, he said: "Who is qualified to be my son-in-law, is it up to you, Situ Yu, to decide? Who do you think you are?"
Hearing this, Situ Yu was a little regretful.
Of course, Bai Lan didn't take Situ Yu seriously, but from now on, even if Long Chen could marry Bai Suxue, it was estimated that many people would despise his strength. This was Bai Lan's difficulty, because he didn't know how strong Long Chen was. The other side's provocation could only be dealt with by the young man himself. So, at this time, Bai Lan looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen knew that Situ Yu would let him make the decision.
Regarding Situ Yu's provocation, should Long Chen accept it or not.
At this time, Situ Yu gathered his courage and continued: "If some people are not sure of themselves, they can extend the time of this battle for a month, and work hard during this month, maybe they can really get lucky and improve a lot."
The 'some people' he was talking about, naturally, was Long Chen.
In fact, Long Chen wasn't afraid of provocation at all, his temper was very straightforward, this Situ Yu's face was cheap, Long Chen couldn't wait to beat him up, but the problem was that when he was fighting with Chen Yang, he used the two Great Emperor Seals, which consumed a lot of Zhen Yuan. Now, fighting with Situ Yu, it was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage.
After a month, Long Chen's Seven Glorious Star Body would have reached grand completion, at that time, it wouldn't be too late to beat this guy up. In front of everyone, Long Chen's eyes narrowed, he didn't show any weakness, he looked at Situ Yu and lightly said: "After a month, then after a month, I, Long Chen, will accept your challenge. If you want to challenge me, then just say it, don't talk so much nonsense, it will only make me look down on you."
Situ Yu's face darkened, but fortunately, Long Chen finally fell for it. Hearing Long Chen's words, Situ Yu was very happy in his heart, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "So, you actually agree? But, you are really brave, then after a month, let all the young people of our Devil Race see how strong you, Long Chen, are and whether you are qualified to marry Princess Su Xue. If you lose, I guess you won't have the face to marry Princess Su Xue, right?"
Situ Yu's words were even more cunning, he directly grasped Long Chen's weakness. If Long Chen really lost, under the contempt of the crowd, he might really be unable to bear the psychological pressure and marry Su Xue. This was Situ Yu's purpose. Previously, Bai Lan said that Long Chen was his son-in-law, so the inheritance of the Seven Glorious Star Lord belonged to the Devil Race. But if Long Chen wasn't his son-in-law, then wouldn't it mean that he could make a move on him?
This move was neither fearless nor ruthless.
Even the eight great elders had to admire Situ Yu at this moment. This matter could only be done by him, no one else was suitable, after all, no one else had the strength to fight against Long Chen.
Even Situ Yao secretly laughed.
Now, everyone was looking at Long Chen, waiting to see how Long Chen would answer. If he lost a month ago, would he still have the face to marry Bai Suxue?
Everyone thought that Long Chen would be conflicted and angry, but they guessed wrong. Long Chen didn't have any emotion at all. He looked at Situ Yu indifferently as if Situ Yu was an insignificant matter. He said indifferently: "As you wish, if I lose to you, I won't marry Bai Suxue and give the opportunity to you, Situ Yu."
"Very good, a gentleman's word is as good as a whip. Now, everyone can hear what you said, Long Chen."
Situ Yu was incomparably excited in his heart. Under the witness of everyone, he was already foolproof. After a month, all the glory would belong to him, Situ Yu.
This was the agreement between Long Chen and Situ Yu. If Long Chen lost, even Bai Lan wouldn't be able to say anything, and even Bai Lan couldn't do anything to Situ Yu.
At this moment, seeing that Long Chen actually agreed, while admiring Situ Yu's ability, everyone despised Long Chen.
"This Long Chen is too stupid, he was fooled by Situ Yu's provocation."
"The patriarch wants to protect this Long Chen, but he didn't expect that this Long Chen is an idiot, he actually agreed to Situ Yu's words, he is really a complete idiot."
"Just watch. In a month's time, this Long Chen will definitely be defeated by big brother Situ. When that happens, he'll be crying."
"Yeah, I think it's better to just give the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords to big brother Situ. After all, big brother Situ has wisdom, talent, and strength. He's the most suitable candidate for the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords. He's also the one who's truly worthy of Princess Suxue."
Everyone began to discuss.
Bai Lan didn't mind hearing this. He sized up Long Chen and asked with interest, "Are you really confident?"
Long Chen said, "I'm not confident, but if I don't agree, would I still be Long Chen?"
These words couldn't be considered arrogance. Bai Lan saw a tenacious undying spirit in this youth. He suddenly felt a bit dazed. He felt that with this kind of temperament, he would definitely do some shocking things in the future. Perhaps he, Bai Lan, would even be rewarded for helping Long Chen today.
"Not bad," Bai Lan praised him.
Bai Lan gave him a very direct praise. After saying this, he turned to the crowd and said, "That's all for today. You can all go back for me."
That's right, after Situ Yu's promise, today's matter had come to an end. Under Bai Lan's orders, everyone left one after another. As they left, they discussed what had happened today. What they talked about the most was the battle in a month's time.
Unknowingly, everyone began to look forward to the battle in a month's time. What would happen in a month's time?
At that time, who would the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords belong to?
"Hmph, let the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords stay in the hands of Long Chen for a while longer," countless people muttered in their hearts.
After they left, only the two chiefs, Long Chen, and Suxue Soyeon were left.
Lei Ji didn't say anything from beginning to end. He looked at Long Chen and said, "If you work hard for the next month, I think Situ Yu might really be able to break through to the ninth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. If that's the case, it'll be a little troublesome."
"Yeah, why should we accept this challenge?" said Suxue worriedly.
Lei Ji shook his head and said, "Little girl, you don't understand. For a man, this challenge has to be accepted. Alright, have a good time with your family. As an outsider, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Lei Ji didn't stay any longer and directly left. After he left, the four people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Bai Lan suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, don't be so gloomy. I was just casually talking about the marriage. Whether or not you two want to get married is your own business. You can continue chatting, I'm leaving …"
After saying that, Bai Lan was about to leave, but halfway through, he suddenly turned his head and said, "In the future, when you go up there to cultivate, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on you. You just need to focus on cultivating and quickly refine the Seven Brilliance Star Body. Got it."
"Got it. Thank you, chief."
A look of gratitude appeared in Long Chen's eyes. To tell the truth, this Bai Lan was truly good to him. Moreover, Long Chen really liked Bai Lan's personality. She was straightforward, not bothering about trifles, and so on. Long Chen had always been a person who would take revenge for enmity and repay kindness for kindness. Now that Bai Lan was treating him so well, he would definitely repay her kindness in the future.
After a while, Bai Lan finally left, leaving behind Long Chen and the two sisters. In the dark and windy night, the three were a bit embarrassed. Soyeon was the first to say, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, she quickened her pace and ran to her courtyard.
Only now did Long Chen realize that Su Yan seemed to be a bit sad. He looked at Su Xue, and Su Xue glared at him and said, "I told you long ago to keep a distance between me and my sister. Now that she is sad, you can do as you see fit … If my sister's mood is always bad, you don't need me to be nice to you."
After saying that, she also left, leaving Long Chen alone.
Long Chen suddenly felt a headache coming on. Women were really troublesome things. He still wanted to study the Seven Brilliance Star Body, but now it seemed that he had to deal with this little girl, Soyeon.
Entering the wooden house, Long Chen gently knocked on the door and said, "Yan 'er, can you open the door?"
After a while, Soyeon opened the door with her eyes red and swollen. She didn't dare to look at Long Chen's eyes.
Long Chen sighed. He also didn't have the heart to hurt this little girl. Matters of the heart couldn't be forced. If Long Chen didn't make it clear to her, then it would only make her sad. Therefore, Long Chen directly pulled her into the room.
"Big Brother, what are you doing …" Soyeon was a bit stunned. Long Chen broke into her boudoir like this. Wasn't this a man and a woman alone in a room?
But, he was her sister's …
"Big Brother, you should go out." Thinking of this, Soyeon quickly said.
Seeing this little girl's nervous appearance, Long Chen helplessly smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Sit down, I'll tell you a story. Do you want to hear it?"
Soyeon was stunned. She quickly nodded like a chick pecking rice and said, "Okay."
Long Chen pursed his lips. He pondered for a while. Then, he slowly told Soyeon about his and Lingxi's matters. Just treat it as a memory. Long Chen didn't know why he inexplicably said it. In fact, there was no need to say it to a little girl. It was more because in the process of saying it, he had a very carefree feeling. He had accumulated a lot of resentment and unwillingness in his heart. At this time, he vented it all out. After he finished speaking, Long Chen's eyes were already a bit red and swollen.
