Chapter 197: Dongfang Tianxuan
He entered without a word and immediately saw a crowd gathered in a circle and heard the sounds of cheering, so he rushed over.
Long Chen could faintly make out two people engaged in an intense battle at the center of the group. He could tell that there were two girls. One was obviously Yin Mengyao, but he couldnt recognize the other.
The other teenage girl was almost the same age as Yin Mengyao, and she was just as pretty. This girl was wearing a long, light-yellow dress that fluttered gracefully around her as they fought.
Yin Mengyao was cold, but her opponent was ice-cold and had deep arrogance in her eyes.
Upon closer inspection, Long Chen realized that the girl was at a much higher cultivation level than Yin Mengyao. This was more bullying than sparring.
Outer family members are useless. Sister Tianxuan is barely trying, yet shes already struggling.
Of course. The outer families work for us, so how good could they be?
The crowd discussed loudly with no reservations, pointing and critiquing the struggling Yin Mengyao.
Yin Mengyao was already tiring out under the pressure from her opponent, but her opponent had no intention of ending the duel, instead treating her as a practice target for all sorts of martial techniques.
Yin Mengyao was drenched in sweat, panting and exhausted. However, she was not the kind of person who would admit defeat so easily, so she held on. Youve been able to hold on for this long; looks like your Flowing Water Body has started to take shape. Not bad. Let me try this move instead. The girl raised her fist and punched Yin Mengyaos head effortlessly. If her pretty face was hit, she wouldve been disfigured.
Now that Long Chen was here, how could he let this happen?
He was about to move when there was a bout of hearty laughter. A person leaped at Yin Mengyao, grabbed her waist at lightning speed, and then retreated so she was out of range and away from danger.
It was a young man. He was handsome with fair skin and a tall nose, though the mischievous look in his eyes that made him look evil. Dongfang Tianxing, could you not be so nosey? The girl named Dongfang Tianxuan smirked coldly.
Alright, my dear cousin. Could you not make me look bad in front of this beautiful girl? Dongfang Tianxing quickly responded.
Judging by the excited look on his face, his target really suited his tastes. Dongfang Tianxuan knew what her cousin was like. Since Yin Mengyao was irrelevant to her and her opponent had been snatched away, she lost interest and turned to leave.
Yin Mengyao was suddenly in a strangers arms, and Dongfang Tianxings words made her very uncomfortable. Her face turned cold and she shoved him away! Let me go, jerk!
Are you calling me a jerk? Girl, youre so beautiful, and youve joined Eastern Azure Dragondoesnt it seem like we are fated to be together? Dongfang Tianxing was quick to react and grabbed Yin Mengyaos fair hand. He looked down arrogantly, staring at her in amusement.
Long Chen knew he was powerful, but it was unacceptable for him to tease Yin Mengyao under his watch. She was his stepsister, and he would never let anyone bully her! Fuck off! A sudden boom startled everyone, then they saw a teenager charging at Dongfang Tianxing, his fist flying at Dongfang Tianxings face!
Who are you?!
Dongfang Tianxings expression changed; he hadnt expected anyone to attack him here. He momentarily lost his gentlemanly demeanor and hurriedly let go of Yin Mengyao to move a few steps back and dodge Long Chens attack.
Long Chen caught Yin Mengyao and pulled her behind him. The others finally focused and regarded Long Chen with surprise.
Who is this dog? Dongfang Tianxing, whose gentlemanly image had been ruined, looked at Long Chen. The look of mischief in his eyes turned cold.
Whos the dog speaking to? shouted Long Chen fearlessly.
Dongfang Tianxings face darkened when he saw that the brat dared shout at himself. He exclaimed, To you!
Oh, the dog is speaking to me? Hehe, I see. Long Chen suddenly started laughing. This was a prank hed pulled many times since he was young, and it was equally fun each time.
The crowd didnt quite understand why he was laughing, but they soon figured it out. Their faces twitched.
Dongfang Tianxing had called him a dog, and when Long Chen had asked who the dog was speaking to, Dongfang Tianxing was angered and fell into his trap, his reply implying that he himself was the dog.
Die!
Dongfang Tianxings face darkened when he was played by Long Chen. He was about to attack when Long Chen warned coldly, Dongfang Tianxing, if I tell my stepfather that you bullied my sister You know my stepfathers temper. You touched his stepdaughter, which is equivalent to a slap to his face. Try it, if you dare!
When he heard Long Chens warning, Dongfang Tianxing thought of Dongfang Xuanxiao and frowned. Dongfang Xuanxiaos personality was hard to grasp. If he found out that he had bullied Long Chen and Yin Mengyao, his Fourth Uncle would pay him a visit to beat him up!
Dongfang Tianxings mother was Dongfang Xuanyu. He knew that even his mother couldnt control Dongfang Xuanxiao, having to rely on his Eldest Uncles status instead. That was why he stopped, even though he initially wanted to teach Long Chen a lesson.
Youre that Long Chen? he spat at Long Chen coldly.
In the flesh, said Long Chen.
When the crowd learned that he was the person who had performed the best in the inner family qualifiers, they eyed Long Chen. He was very bold to fight Dongfang Tianxing.
The teenage girl, Dongfang Tianxuan, was also looking at him.
She hadnt initially paid him any attention, but he dared confront Dongfang Tianxing directly, even intimidating him so he wouldnt attack. His boldness impressed her.
But how would Dongfang Tianxing vent the anger in his heart?
He would never swallow his anger just like that. He had an idea. You must be quite powerful If youre brave enough to humiliate me like this. I wonder, do you dare come to the Mortal Arena with me? He smirked coldly.
Just like the outer family, the inner family also had a Mortal Arena. As long as both sides agreed to fight there, they could fight a true duel there and no one would be responsible for any deaths!
Despite that rule, most duels did not end in death. Everyone was part of the Lingwu family after all, and it was unnecessary to bear such deep enmity.
The Mortal Arena? Im not interested. Ive only just attained the Earthly Core Realm, and youre at the Heavenly Core Realm. Dont you think its embarrassing for you to challenge me to a duel? mused Long Chen.
Are you talking back? The corner of Dongfang Tianxings lips curved up in contempt. Youre too scared to accept a challenge. Long Chen, are you even a man? I dont think you are. Why dont you have the guts for it?
The crowd laughed at Dongfang Tianxings questions. It was indeed embarrassing that Long Chen dared insult him but didnt dare accept his challenge.
When Dongfang Tianxuan saw Long Chens aggressive behavior, she initially thought he was a macho man, and he had piqued her interest. But when she saw that he didnt dare accept the challenge, she lost interest.
Long Chens expression did not change. Instead of raging, he smiled. If I agreed, not only would I be cowardly, Id also be brainless. As for whether I am a man, we can only prove that in bed. Why? Do you know any good maiden youd recommend for me to test out? As long as she looks decent, I will not refuse. Haha!
You! Dongfang Tianxing lost once again in a battle of wit. Youre a coward because you dare not take the challenge, finding excuses to get out of it. Long Chen, youre the coward of the cowards!
Long Chen didnt want to continue wasting time. Without a word, he grabbed Yin Mengyaos hand and left the Xuanyu Pavilion before the gazes of the crowd.
Yin Mengyao was startled by Long Chens behavior, and terrified because she thought he would be beaten up by Dongfang Tianxing. Yet he had miraculously neutralized the situation by borrowing Xuanxiaos name.
She was quite impressed by her little stepbrother. Although Long Chen isnt as talented as Xiaolang in terms of cultivation, hes much better in terms of determination and wisdom.
Yin Mengyao was left in a daze. Long Chen seemed to have become much more powerful than when they first met.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Xuanyu Pavilion, they coincidentally ran into Dongfang Tianyu, who was making his way in. Long Chen and him locked eyes, and the flames of violence burned.
But Long Chen dared not linger, and he left hurriedly.
After Long Chen left, Dongfang Tianyu noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly approached Dongfang Tianxing to ask, Brother Tianxing? How was she? The girl I recommended, Yin Mengyao, suits your taste, right?
Dongfang Tianxings eyes were dark. Shes delicious! But shes Fourth Uncles stepdaughter, so I can\'t do anything.
Dongfang Tianyu had an idea and pulled Tianxing aside. Fourth Uncle is indeed difficult to deal with, but you cant act openly. Now that both of them are in the inner family, we will have many opportunities to make a move!
Dongfang Tianxing perked up and said, Brother Yu, you always come up with good ideas. I want to kill Long Chen; do you have a way?
Long Chen? Dongfang Tianyu grinned. I will kill him during the Azure Dragon Halberd tournament.
