“quick, quick! give me one of your seats!” mo nian jumped. if long chen didn’t give him one of the ten spots, he wouldn’t even be able to watch the fight.
long chen and mo nian hastily took out their tablets, but then they only stared at their tablets.
“how are you supposed to do it?”
“quick, find lu ziqiong!”
lu ziqiong had previously given them her seats, but mo nian and long chen didn’t know how to do it.
seeing the two of them rushing over, lu ziqiong jumped. in truth, she had wanted to remind long chen a while ago, but with the two of them in seclusion, she didn’t want to disturb them.
it was only when time was running out that she forced herself to remind the feather spirit race about long chen's upcoming martial fight. as for yu tong and yu fei, they had completely forgotten about it until lu ziqiong brought it up, causing them to panic and almost cry.
to ensure the seats weren’t wasted, lu ziqiong quickly reserved spots for herself, mo nian, yu tong, yu fei, and lu ziyu, leaving five seats still available.
“senior, do you want to come?” asked long chen as he looked at the race leader.
the race leader hesitated. “it has been a long time since i’ve left the sacred mountain. if i’m going to go out, it would be nice to take a breather. can i have the rest of the seats?”
“of course. no problem,” replied long chen directly.
after all, those seats would be wasted if no one used them, and long chen didn’t know anyone else in devil fall city. giving them to lu chengfeng and the others? long chen would rather the seats be wasted.
once noble, refined, and approachable, she now exuded a heroic aura, a sacredness untouchable by blasphemy, and a certain aloof arrogance that kept people at a distance.
the race leader explained, “devil fall city might seem peaceful on the surface, but there are dark undercurrents at play. danger lurks around every corner. the four noble families have lusted after the city lord’s position for a long time. to make things worse, the city lord, xing wujiang, has no heir. rumor has it that an incident occurred during his attempt to ascend to a higher realm, leading to his lineage's demise. as a result, the four noble families can no longer sit still. the violet palace sect’s gao jianli and the iron blood gate’s cao guofeng were the first to start stirring the pot. however, the yellow spring pavilion and heaven heart hall are also not willing to fall behind. they have repeatedly tried to test xing wujiang’s stance. the fight for his position might erupt at any moment. if the wind blows a single straw, that might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. thus, we must be cautious.”
hearing this, long chen was moved. the race leader didn’t wish long chen to become a pawn in this fight, especially not a sacrificial pawn lost in the struggle between these five major factions.
“long chen, you don’t have to go through with this... i don’t want you to be used by others. i...” said lu ziqiong firmly as she bit her lip, startling long chen and the others. lu ziyu just looked at her blankly, not understanding the meaning behind those words. however, she vaguely had a bad feeling.
long chen looked at her ashamed expression and interrupted her, smiling. “thank you for your worries. but please don’t keep going.”
lu ziqiong couldn’t hold herself back. “the truth is...”
long chen placed a hand on her shoulder. “i know, so thank you for your worries. however, in this world, man’s plans cannot beat the plans of the heavens, and the plan of the heavens cannot beat me. i don’t care about other people’s schemes. to live with dignity in this lawless world, i will walk my own path, and anyone who gets in my way will be crushed beneath my feet. that is my dao. so whether it is in an open or hidden scheme, it’s not an issue for me.”
feeling the warmth from long chen’s hand and hearing his sincere words, lu ziqiong teared up. “i’m sorry...”
reflecting back, she recalled the time of his clash with the iron blood gate's disciples that she had been instructed to intervene. afterward, she was tasked with extending an invitation to long chen's group. following this, she hadn't received any further instructions, which now struck her as odd.
now, with the race leader's revelations to long chen, lu ziqiong realized that she too had been manipulated as part of a larger scheme. if she were to cause long chen’s death, she would never be able to feel at peace anymore.
“you have nothing to be sorry about. we’re friends, right?” asked long chen.
“that’s right, we’re all friends. whatever trouble you encounter in the future, you can come to find the two of us,” continued mo nian as he patted his chest, feeling a burst of compassion upon seeing lu ziqiong’s pitiful appearance.
just then, the starry clouds appeared in front of them, and they descended upon the star cloud martial stage once more. however, some people blocked their way this time.
