“long chen, did you do this on purpose?!” long chen had just squeezed his way to the front of the crowd when lu tianhua roared furiously at him.
all the young experts from pill valley that had come with him were lying on the ground, their faces beaten and bruised. one of them had even lost both his legs.
guo ran and the others seemed embarrassed when they saw long chen. guo ran said, “boss, they provoked us first by insulting you over and over.”
“nonsense, we didn’t do anything like that!” those pill valley’s disciples were terrified to see long chen. if they admitted they had said bad things about him, they might lose their lives.
although their master was standing right beside them, he wasn’t able to give them a feeling of safety. two of them had already been killed by long chen right in front of him.
“didn’t you just say that the dragonblood legion is a pack of barbarians who have yet to become civilized? boss is the leader of the dragonblood legion, and by insulting the entire dragonblood legion, how are you not insulting boss?” said guo ran.
hearing this, then looking at the disciples on the ground, long chen could guess what had happened.
guo ran was never good at being peaceful. if he didn’t act like a poser for a day, he wouldn’t be able to calm down. moreover, these disciples from pill valley were all incredibly arrogant and they looked down on others. it was very likely for a conflict to erupt between the former and the latter.
as for whether that conflict was started by pill valley’s disciples or whether guo ran had intentionally baited them, that was a bit harder to say.
however, guo ran was definitely a wicked character. having dared to beat them to this state, he definitely hadn’t left any evidence for them to say that he had started things.
“long chen, if you don’t give me an explanation today, i will end you!” roared lu tianhua. on this trip to the eastern wasteland, he had not only lost two of his disciples and been unable to get revenge, but his remaining disciples had also been beaten black and blue. he had completely lost all his face.
“don’t point at me with your finger.” long chen frowned.
“you!” lu tianhua was enraged. but thinking of long chen’s temperament, he put away his hand, saying, “long chen, you must give me an explanation!”
li changfeng didn’t have a good opportunity to interject here. he couldn’t help but sigh inside. the previous trouble long chen had caused had just been settled through negotiations, and he had just been about to send the three of them away when they encountered lu tianhua’s disciples that were beaten into this state. he had a headache now.
he had lost two of his beloved apprentices instead of gaining what he had wanted, causing him to lose all his face. however, he was also helpless to do anything about it. that rage had been brewing this entire time.
then when he walked out and saw that the rest of his disciples had been beaten so badly, well, anyone would find it unbearable. but now that long chen was scolding guo ran and the others, his expression became a bit better.
lu tianhua knew to get going while the getting was good. he was just about to have li changfeng state their punishment, which would be no more than a single cane, but long chen’s next words made him almost pass out.
“guo ran, you’ve got a big brain. but why can’t you remember anything useful? you think with your current ability, you can become a spendthrift? do you remember how hard we had to work for just a few points in the 108th monastery? tch, you threw out dozens of gold coins in one go? how generous! do you know how hard we have to work to get that much money? i always tell you to be frugal. money is always the most important thing for any power! guo ran, although you’re my best brother, you’ve committed an unforgivable mistake. don’t blame me for being merciless.” long chen clenched his teeth.
“no, boss, please! please, give me another chance!” a horrified expression crept over guo ran’s face, and he knelt on the ground next to long chen, holding his leg, wailing.
everyone was startled. what was long chen about to do? to cause guo ran to be so terrified, was he going to kill him? or was he going to expel him from the dragonblood legion?
the others didn’t understand, but the dragonblood legion did. all of them knew what was happening, and meng qi sighed deeply, shaking her head. on the other hand, tang wan-er was stifling her laughter.
“i’ve decided.” long chen hardened his heart.
“boss, no! i’m begging you, on account of how long we’ve been together, how much loyalty i’ve shown you, please don’t! look, i’ll take back the money right now! here, i’ll give it all to you. please boss, just pretend this never happened!” guo ran picked up all the gold coins and offered them to long chen with both hands raised, pitifully staring at him.
looking at the tears in guo ran’s eyes and how pitiful he looked, everyone felt emotional.
as for long chen, he almost kicked him away in fury. it was just a play, so was there any need to act so over the top? he almost coughed up blood from watching.
long chen didn’t dare to look at him as this bastard’s expression was too powerful. he was afraid he’d laugh. looking into the distance, he indifferently shook his head. “rules are rules. no one can change them, including myself. so i have to do this.”
everyone held their breath.
long chen grabbed guo ran’s neck, shouting, “i’m going to garnish one year of your salary! don’t you like showing off? don’t you like being generous with your money? well, for the next year, don’t even think of getting a single copper coin from me!”
as his words resounded throughout the plaza, everyone turned into stone statues.
