Chapter 9 – Precious TreasureTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
In the hall there were only two men. Yang family’s second son Yang Yuntian sat on the side, while in the center sat an immortal-like and dignified middle aged man.
This was Yang family founder’s eldest son, Long Chen’s first uncle Yang Qingxuan.
Long Chen stepped into the hall, and his gaze met Yang Qingxuan.
“This Yang Qingxuan seems to be good natured, but from his eyes there is a mysterious roving light. Obviously he is a very high level cultivation expert, higher by at least a level when compared to Yang Yuntian who is beside him.”
Long Chen had raised his cultivation level, so his insight had also increased.
Yang Qingxuan looked towards Long Chen and said:”You should be Yang Chen. Since young you have spent your time outside. I myself have only seen you several times, but I never thought that you have grown up so quickly.”
“Yang Qingxuan did not scold me from the moment I stepped in, looks like there is going to be a show.”
Long Chen thought to himself, his motto in life is that a man can submit or stand tall as is required. By keeping a contingency plan one will never be afraid of not making a comeback. And now he has. .h.i.t Yang Yuntian’s son, he is definitely in the wrong, so he just followed the rules and bowed towards the both of them, saying: “Your nephew…… Yang Chen pays his greetings to First Uncle & Second Uncle.”
He had already promised his father to change his surname, but right now he still did not have the strength to declare it open in front of the Yang Family, so he can only use this plan because it’s convenient.
“Indeed you have reached the third level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, but looking at your vitality, I think you must have learned a school of body enhancing technique. All these years you have been secretly working hard and by doing so you have such an achievement now. Catching up to Ling Qing and Ling Yue in the future is a highly possible thing.
Long Chen did not dare to disagree.
“This fellow did not mention anything about beating people up, and chatted with me like it was a normal conversation. But as for this Yang Yuntian, the way he looks at me one can tell that he wants to kill me.”
At this point, Yang Yuntian growled: “Big brother!”
Listening to Yang Yuntian’s reminder, Yang Qingxuan smiled and said: ”You are indeed a good seedling, but beating up your own family’s brothers, it just isn’t right. I even heard that you have dealt a critical blow……”
Long Chen hurriedly said: “First Uncle, during a fight, punches and kicks have no eyes. With my ability it’s simply impossible to control my attack strength at will. So when I hurt him earlier, it was actually not my intention to do so.”
Being interrupted by Long Chen, Yang Yuntian simply did not speak anymore. At this point Yang Yuntian coldly said: “It was not your intention? How come I have heard that you wanted to beat Yang Zhan to death? With such a vicious personality at such a young age, in the future it would be even worse. If today I do not give you a reminder, won’t you create an even larger mess in the future?”
Yang Yuntian stood up immediately and started walking towards Long Chen one step at time. A thick layer of cultivation started pressuring Long Chen’s body, almost crushing him to the floor.
Long Chen did not say a word, and silently endured.
He knew, if today Yang Yuntian wanted to kill him, it would only take but a single strike.
At this point, there came a woman’s voice from outside of the door.
“Second Brother, let me handle him, I will definitely account to you.
Only then did Long Chen heave a sigh of relief, but he still had some lingering fear.
He knew who the person behind him was, it was Yang Xueqing.
The way Yang Xueqing has treated him all these years was known to everyone. If Long Chen were to land into her hands, he will definitely not have a good time.
Yang Yuntian thinking of this point, laughingly said: “Third Sister do not hesitate to take him away. However between the younger generation, a fight is just a small issue so Third Sister can just show him the correct path and that’ll be fine.”
After saying this he left.
Yang Qingxuan saw that it had nothing much to do with himself anymore, so he also smiled and left. But before he left, he went beside Yang Xueqing’s ear and whispered: ”Not even five days, and he has actually skipped levels and learned [Falling Star Fist]. With his talent, father will definitely appreciate him so you had better play it by ear on this matter……”
Yang Xueqing was shocked for a few moments. After Yang Qingxuan left, only then did she walk to Long Chen’s side.
Long Chen had also heard Yang Qingxuan’s whispering from earlier. He was very curious about Yang Xueqing’s stunned expression, but unfortunately this woman was still wearing an icy look on her face.
“That’s right, today after beating Yang Zhan to this state, it’s still not enough for her to view me differently.”
Long Chen’s heart was still filled with determination, so he nonchalantly said: “To kill or to slaughter is entirely up to you, but if you are not killing me then hurry up and talk, I do not have so much time to stay here with no purpose.”
[TL Note: “To kill or to slaughter is entirely up to you” (idiom) = whatever you want to do to me just go ahead (even killing)]
Yang Xueqing frowned and said coldly: “With only such a small achievement, your tone of voice has changed quite a bit. It’s the same as that useless trash, a short lived genius. Only both father and son would think of themselves as an important figure, what a laughingstock!”
Long Chen’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent.
He could not endure it any longer.
“If there is nothing else I will take my leave.”
After saying this, he walked past Yang Xueqing, and as he arrived at the door, Yang Xueqing suddenly said: ”In one month’s time, I will marry the Bai Family’s third child Bai Zhanxiong. As for you, I do not wish for you to remain in Poplar Town for another day. If you remain then don’t blame me for not recognising our ties.”
Listening to that, Long Chen was not one bit surprised.
However no matter how resilient he had made himself to be, at this point in his heart he was in agony. There is no pair of mother and son under the sky, with such a scenario like this one from today.
Long Chen looked back at her and coldly said:”Don’t blame me when the time comes that I did not tell you, the elegant gentleman Bai Zhanxiong that he appears to be on the surface, is actually a rotten thing. I have once seen him use his own strength to forcefully kidnap a few girls under sixteen years of age, and then sell them to an unknown person……”
After saying this secret which he had kept inside him for all this time, Long Chen originally thought that she would appreciate it but he found Yang Xueqing’s gaze to be even colder. Once Long Chen had finished speaking, she immediately retaliated verbally by coldly saying: “Yang Chen, as you now have the ability to defeat Yang Zhan, it did make me look at you in a better light, I still thought from today onwards you can discard your bad habits and turn over a new leaf. I was happy for you from the bottom of my heart but you now have actually disappointed me greatly.”
“I know you do not wish for me to remarry, but you don’t have to resort to slandering Brother Bai’s reputation by creating such a laughable offence. Me and Brother Bai are childhood sweethearts. If not for your father, I would have long ago become his woman. Also my understanding of him is stronger than yours by tens of thousands of times. You wish to confuse me with your hilarious lie?”
