Chapter 199 - a.s.sa.s.sination at Beitang"s house
At daybreak on the second day, Long Chen was already prepared to head to Beitang family with Dongfang Xuanxiao.In this operation, Dongfang Xuanxiao had already said that no matter how excessive Long Chen was, he would support him.
Long Chen also understood in his heart that Dongfang Xuanxiao was really too good to him. This made him very apologetic, but he was not a shy person, this was a big matter for Yang Lingqing, if he did not handle it well, it might destroy Yang Lingqing"s entire life, so even if it caused Dongfang Xuanxiao a lot of trouble, Long Chen would still have to go to the Beitang family and use stronger methods.
Within the Inner Race, the distance between the Dongfang family and the Beitang family wasn"t very far. Soon enough, Long Chen and Yue Shan arrived at the Beitang family.Not far from the door, a Beitang family clansman saw the two of them and hurriedly went in to inform them.
After a while, a middle-aged man who was around the same age as Dongfang Xuanfeng walked out enthusiastically, and said in a clear voice: "Brother Xuan Xiao actually came to visit my Beitang family, you are a rare guest, a rare guest! "Please come in!"
Long Chen squinted his eyes. This person looked very similar to Beitang Ink, he should be Beitang Ink"s father, the current head of Beitang family — — Bei Tangming.To be able to become the main person in charge, his strength must be his Great Perfection of the Heavenly Core, and like Dongfang Xuanxiao, his fighting strength was much higher than the nine grand elders of the other clans.
Under Bei Tangming"s lead, the two of them arrived at a dark green great hall.
A few people sat down, and Long Chen was right beside Dongfang Xuanxiao. He looked around, then looked at Bei Tangming, and felt a little apprehensive. After all, the people around him were much stronger than him. Any one of them could easily kill him, and for Long Chen to settle Yang Lingqing"s problem in such a group of people, the difficulty could be imagined.
"Who is this little genius?" Noticing Long Chen"s gaze, Bei Tangming got someone to pour tea and ask happily."This is my foster son, Long Chen. He just pa.s.sed the Inner Race selection not long ago, I believe Brother Beitang should have heard of him?" Dongfang Xuanxiao asked indifferently.
"Of course, the name Long Chen has echoed like thunder in my ears in the past few days. I heard that he defeated the brat known as the The number one genius of the other races, and his strength is only at the early stage of the Earth Core Stage? "
"That"s true, but to be honest, Long Chen and Brother Beitang have some other connections." Dongfang Xuanxiao stared straight at Bei Tangming. He didn"t have any expression, so he couldn"t really tell what he was thinking.
"I know that, a few days ago I took an adopted daughter, her name is Yang Lingqing, she has a rare Profound Yin Body, I heard that she is Long Chen"s cousin! I will have someone call Yang Lingqing over right now and let you brothers meet her. " On the surface, Bei Tangming had a smile on his face, but seeing that Long Chen and his expression was a little strange, he had a bad premonition.
After that, some people already started to call out to Yang Lingqing, but Bei Tangming was extremely interested in Long Chen. When chatting with Dongfang Xuanxiao, they would frequently bring up topics related to him, and in the end, they would even ask about him."This old fox is really difficult to deal with." Long Chen"s expression was in line with Bei Tangming"s words, but his heart was actually extremely cold. "Xiao Qing is a weak girl, under the pressure of this old fox, how can she resist?"
Thus, he had to settle this matter.
Just then, Yang Lingqing walked into the hall full of vigor and vitality. At first glance, she saw Long Chen, but her eyes were filled with surprise and worry, she had just seen Long Chen yesterday, why was Long Chen here today?"Qing`er, Mo"er, come sit over here."
Bei Tangming smiled and greeted the two who had just entered.
Behind Yang Lingqing, the cold-faced Beitang Mo was right behind her. Just as he entered the hall, his eyes fell on Long Chen. His eyes showed surprise.
The first time he met Long Chen was when he was still a Underground City of the Church of Red Blood. At that time, Long Chen was only at the Large Success of her Mortal Core, but he had already killed those who had just entered the Earth Core Stage. And now that Long Chen had entered the Earth Core Stage, I heard that he had defeated the extremely powerful Golden Saint En at the small success stage of the Earth Core Stage, and entered the Inner Race?
This caused Beitang Mo to have a whole new level of respect for the unremarkable brat from back then.
Under Bei Tangming"s guidance, Yang Lingqing and Beitang Mo each obediently sat down, full of thoughts.
However, Long Chen"s heart was once again filled with anger, that was because he saw that Yang Lingqing"s eyes were red and swollen, which meant that she had been crying.
Thinking about how much psychological pain his little sister had suffered, Long Chen felt as though a knife was cutting through his heart. At the same time, his ruthlessness grew bit by bit.
"Why are you siblings so distant from each other? Haha, there"s no need to care about our two elders, let"s have a good chat! " Bei Tangming laughed and said, he picked up the teacup on the table and lightly sipped.
"Senior Beitang, I heard that Beitang Mo wanted to marry Ling Qing, so she has already sent a betrothal gift to my family?" While Bei Tangming was still drinking his tea, Long Chen suddenly looked at him and said with a slightly cold voice.
Bei Tangming and Beitang Mo did not feel anything when they heard those words, but Yang Lingqing trembled. In her eyes, it was as if something extremely painful had been exposed, causing her to look at Long Chen with a helpless expression.
"Haha, Long Chen, I was just about to talk to you about this. My Mo"er and Qing"er have agreed to a grand wedding on the seventh day of the next month!" After saying that, he looked at Yang Lingqing with a reproachful gaze, "Qing`er, you"re really too much. Why did you forget about your brother when you were busy notifying the clan?"
"I … I forgot." Yang Lingqing"s heart was in a complete mess at the moment, especially when she saw that Long Chen"s eyes were getting colder and colder.
At this time, other than Dongfang Xuanxiao, everyone was shocked that with a smack, Long Chen had smashed the table beside him. With a whoos.h.i.+ng sound, he stood up and looked coldly at Bei Tangming.
"Long Chen, what are you doing?" Beitang frowned and said coldly.Here, Long Chen was not targeting the Beitang Mo, but Bei Tangming. Under Bei Tangming"s surprised gaze, he coldly said. What a perfect match! Is it that you used your power and strength to pressure my sister and force her to marry your son?! "
Long Chen"s sudden actions which did not follow common sense had caused both Bei Tangming and Beitang Mo to be unable to react, while Yang Lingqing was even more shocked. The longer he stayed in the Inner Race, the more she knew how powerful the Inner Race people were.
"Nonsense!" Bei Tangming"s gaze immediately darkened, and he immediately looked towards Dongfang Xuanxiao. If not for Dongfang Xuanxiao, Long Chen was an ant that he could kill with a slap. He simply did not have the qualifications to clamor in front of him.
When Bei Tangming saw that Dongfang Xuanxiao did not have any expression at all and still lowered his head to drink his tea, he knew that Dongfang Xuanxiao had tacitly allowed him to do so!
"Is there something wrong with Xuan Xiao"s head? Not giving me any face is really too infuriating! " In Bei Tangming"s heart, the anger was also gradually growing!
To him, for a brat to actually dare question him in the hall, it was a huge insult to him, and Dongfang Xuanxiao actually accepted it tacitly. This kind of insult, made Bei Tangming"s gaze when looking at Long Chen, instantly fill with killing intent!"Why am I blabbering? Ling Qing, come here!" Long Chen did not have any intention to retreat, and continued to look at Bei Tangming coldly.
Yang Lingqing"s mind was blank, she only felt that Long Chen"s performance was too shocking. When Long Chen shouted her name at this time, she subconsciously moved closer to Long Chen!
"Ling Qing, what are you doing?" Behind her, Beitang Mo"s cold voice made Yang Lingqing tremble in fear as she stopped in her tracks."Trust me, come over here. Big brother will guarantee your safety." While Yang Lingqing was at a loss, Long Chen looked at him seriously. He said something that made Yang Lingqing feel safe.
Since early on, after Long Chen had saved her a few times, she had developed a blind reliance on him. Thus, this time, she clenched her teeth, and under the Beitang"s dark and cold gaze, she walked next to Long Chen!"What should I do?" Yang Lingqing"s eyes were filled with tears.
"I"m confident. Don"t look down on me. Just do as I say. It"s fine." Long Chen reached out and wrapped his arm around Yang Lingqing"s shoulder, but Long Chen discovered that she had lost weight. That"s right, since she came to the incredibly depressing place of the Spirit Martial Realm, why was she, a mere weakling, not weak at all?
No elder brother could allow his sister to be bullied by others as she wished! Long Chen should have already known that Ling Qing was not well, but after she entered the Inner Race, she was delayed because of other things, so she did not come immediately to take care of her.
"Yes." Yang Lingqing nodded with tears in her eyes. If Long Chen hadn"t given her too much confidence and protection, she definitely wouldn"t have stood on Long Chen"s side at such a critical juncture."Qing`er, what are you doing?" Have you forgotten what I"ve told you? " At this time, Bei Tangming"s face was gloomy, his words revealed killing intent.
"Don"t scare my sister, Senior Beitang, you have lived for so long, don"t you know the principle of not taking any action? Ling Qing"s heart was unwilling. As her foster father, it"s fine if you don"t take good care of her, but what right do you have to marry your son? " Long Chen was neither servile nor overbearing, and was t.i.t for tat with Bei Tangming.In fact, entering the Inner Race, being forced to marry the young generation of the Inner Race was already a custom of the Lingwu Family. However, Long Chen did not believe that he would be bound by this convention. Could it be that he was going to marry a woman from the Dongfang family because of the orders of his elders? At least, Long Chen was very resistant to it.
Being questioned by Long Chen, Bei Tangming lost face. At this time, he could not hold back anymore, and erupted with a strong burst of Qi. He looked at Dongfang Xuanxiao coldly and bellowed: "Dongfang Xuanxiao, what do you mean! Speak! If you don"t like me, Bei Tangming, then don"t take a junior and yell at me. If you have the guts, then tell me directly! "
