Chapter 760 – Seven Star Body

She previously hated Long Chen because she did not believe in his abilities and was afraid that he would worsen Suyan’s problem. Now that Long Chen had proven his worth, he had won her recognition. In her heart, he had an additional shroud of mystery, while Situ Yu became the talentless one.

Situ Yu had worked hard to build a positive impression of himself, but it had all gone to ruins.

“It’s fine. I know you were just concerned about Yan’er.” Long Chen was not a stingy person and naturally did not want to argue with Suxue. He wanted to cultivate the Seven Star Body, so if he fought with her, how would he be able to ask Bai Lan for protection?

Long Chen had figured out Bai Lan’s cultivation level. Lei Ji was at the First Heavenly Martial Stage, while Bai Lan was a rare Second Heavenly Martial Stage master. This was in addition to the Divine Demon Lord’s inheritance, solidifying Bai Lan as the strongest of all the masters in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.

Long Chen and Bai Lan both had intentions to build a relationship with each other, and now that Long Chen had helped save Suyan’s life, it further improved their relationship despite no words being exchanged.

“Yan’er, go play with your older sister. I want to talk to Long Chen for a while.” After comforting Suyan for a while, Bai Lan told the sisters to leave. They were very obedient and quickly excused themselves. Only Long Chen and the two clan leaders remained.

“Thank you so much for today, Long Chen. Have a seat.” Within the pavilion, Bai Lan gestured for Long Chen to sit. After he sat, he eyed Long Chen and said, “Entering the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage with help from the Martial God Tombstone was fast, right?”

Long Chen had long known that Bai Lan knew about his trump cards, including the Martial God Tombstone. That was why he was not surprised and said, “Indeed, the Martial God Tombstone is an amazing treasure. I do not need to worry about my safety in Heavenly Wood City now. Thank you, Clan Leader, for providing me with a safe cultivation environment.

Bai Lan smiled and said, “Safe or not, that depends on yourself. Although I am the clan leader, I cannot micromanage everything. As the Demon clan’s leader, if I take an outsider’s side, people will think that my interests lie elsewhere. Do you agree?”

Bai Lan was an old fox through and through. From his words, Long Chen knew that he was talking about Situ Yu, and was indirectly telling him that if Long Chen and Situ Yu fought, he would be put in a difficult situation due to his position. That was why he wanted Long Chen to do his best to avoid conflict with Situ Yu. Even if there was conflict, it would be best if Long Chen did not attack first, as doing so would give them a reason to oust him.

“Don’t worry, Clan Leader. I understand.” Long Chen nodded.

“That’s good.” Bai Lan smiled approvingly. In his eyes, Long Chen was indeed a smart and likable junior.

After observing Long Chen for a while, he suddenly said, “I think you have already successfully cultivated the Big Dipper Step. And now you’ve just reached the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. Don’t be in a hurry to increase your cultivation level; you should rest for a while. There should be a technique called Seven Star Body in the Seven Star Manual. I’m guessing that’s the reason why you came to Heavenly Wood City?”

Bai Lan had easily listed out all of Long Chen’s trump cards.

If Little Cat had not warned Long Chen, he would have been terrified. However, since he had expected it, he said calmly, “It is indeed as you said. I want to go to the peak of this giant tree to experience celestial Qi!”

Long Chen’s reaction shocked both Bai Lan and Lei Ji. They thought Long Chen would be shocked, but he was unexpectedly calm.

Bai Lan and Lei Ji looked at each other and smiled in exasperation. Bai Lan said, “We thought you didn’t know that we had seen through your trump cards. I didn’t expect you to know. That’s good; now we can speak freely. However, I would like to ask you this—you’re working alone, yet you’re carrying such important treasures with you. Aren’t you afraid that we will snatch your treasures and kill you? These treasures are huge temptations to us. Even with your warp technique, you can’t escape a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator’s domain.”

Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators controlled the energy of the world and could form their own domains around themselves. Long Chen would find it difficult to escape even with his Blood Warp, unless he also had his own domain to withstand his opponent’s domain.

“You wouldn’t do that, would you, Clan Leader Bai?” Long Chen redirected his question instead of answering.

Bai Lan laughed heartily and said, “Whatever. I’m not going to tease you. My darling daughter’s life is in your hands too. There are at least ninety days left, and I can’t touch you during this time. However, I couldn\'t bear for such a good thing to walk away right before my eyes.” After a pause, Bai Lan suddenly said, “Hey, kid, what do you think of my daughter?”

Long Chen froze, not understanding why he had suddenly asked that. “Yan’er is adorable and energetic. She’s a good girl.”

“Damn you! I’m not talking about Yan’er. Yan’er is only fourteen; you can dream on! I’m talking about Xue’er. Bai Suxue.”

Long Chen was even more confused. “Suxue is naturally intelligent and very beautiful. She’s your daughter too, so I’m sure she is incomparable to the rest.”

“That’s good. When you cultivate the Seven Star Body, let Xue’er accompany you. She’s fairly powerful, so she can assist you if you meet danger.”

Long Chen thought for a while and felt like he and Suxue had not really clicked. Plus, he did not like other people watching him cultivate. If Bai Lan had agreed to protect him, he could basically do whatever he wanted in Heavenly Wood City anyway. With that thought, he declined the offer. “Princess Xue and I aren’t really familiar with each other, and I don’t think she will have the patience to accompany me for such a long time either. I think I’ll have to pass this time.”

When Bai Lan heard him say that, he did not force it. He chuckled and said, “All in all, I still want to thank you for today. You may stay in Heavenly Wood City as long as you like. I’m leaving now.”

Then he and Lei Ji flung their sleeves and left. They were probably off to play chess and drink tea. Long Chen thought it was strange for these two old men to spend so much time together every day. Didn’t they find it weird?

Then again, he spent a lot of time every day with Xiaolang too.

“Wu Guangyu, it’s almost time for you to die.” Long Chen gave a faint smile.

***

After Long Chen left Suyan’s small courtyard, a shadow in a dark corner far away scurried off. The shadow wove through the wooden houses and quickly arrived in another elegant yard. He did not knock and directly jumped over the wall.

“Brother Situ!” The shadow was a teenager with dark skin. He was muscular, making him seem like a black panther, and he looked a little younger than Situ Yu.

When the door opened, Situ Yu emerged with a dark expression. When he saw the teenager, he smirked and said, “Chen Xu, do you have news?”

“Brother Situ, the person you wanted me to watch has left the courtyard. Based on the direction he is heading, he is going higher up in Heavenly Wood City. I’m guessing he’s heading to the peak of this tree. But why is he going there?”

Situ Yu chuckled coldly. “Who cares what he’s going to do? He humiliated me just now, then he started sneaking around mysteriously. If he’s doing something bad, then I can catch and kill him. But if he’s just bored and going up there to hang around, I’ll go there to teach him a lesson. No one has ever humiliated me like this before!”

“Brother Situ, you’re right. That brat is a little annoying, and he’s so close with the two beautiful princesses too. He’s just looking for trouble,” Chen Xu said respectfully.

Situ Yu nodded. He went back into the house and then changed into a full-black outfit. He said to Chen Xu, “Chen Xu, I see you as my brother. That’s why I sent you to follow that brat. No matter what happens tonight, you must not tell a soul.”
