Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Join Forces to Kill Him

"Yes, Father!"

Upon hearing Long Qianqiu’s words, Long Teng was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

As long as Long Qianqiu was still willing to give him a chance to wash away the shame, then there was still room for maneuver. In his eyes, Qin Chuan was already a dead man.

Soon, he returned to his residence with Long Jieming.

"Slap!"

Once they reached the residence, Long Teng raised his hand and delivered a heavy slap to Long Jieming’s face, immediately leaving a swollen red handprint.

Holding back his fury, Long Teng stared at Long Jieming and asked, "Do you know why I hit you?"

Long Jieming fell to his knees with a "thud," his face full of panic as he said, "Dad, I know I was wrong. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t believed that bitch Murong Mingyue’s words, you wouldn’t have nearly lost the heir position."

He had guessed that it was all a trap set up by Qin Chuan and Murong Mingyue, a play put on deliberately to lure him into their scheme, leading him to purchase ten Fei Dan elixirs for an exorbitant price.

"Slap!"

Little did he know, Long Teng slapped his face again, glaring at Long Jieming as he scolded, "Do you really think that’s the reason I hit you?"

Long Jieming was taken aback. Wasn’t it?

Long Teng angrily said, "How could I have such a foolish son? If you weren’t my son, I would have been tempted to slap you to death, you useless thing."

"I hit you not because you were tricked but because you completely fell apart during a crisis. With this behavior, how are you going to take over my position as the heir in the future?"

"Do you really think your grandfather is angry just because we were tricked out of six hundred million?"

Long Jieming looked stunned. He’d thought that was indeed the case, but it seemed he was mistaken.

Long Teng continued, "The Long family can afford to lose six hundred million, but because I am your grandfather’s son and you are his grandson, the fact that we were swindled out of six hundred million has indeed made him very angry. That is because many people are eyeing my position."

"If I can’t wash away this shame, your grandfather won’t be able to protect us anymore. Then, I would have no choice but to give up the heir position, and if I lose the heir position, our lineage would be completely finished. Do you understand?"

"If we had put up a fight, your grandfather wouldn’t be so passive. He was giving us another chance under tremendous pressure just now, but you, the worthless one, panicked and lost your wits in front of everyone."

"Do you know what others are saying about you behind your back? They say you’re a failure, and they’re not afraid of you becoming the heir at all. Because even if I defy all opinions and make you the Long Family Heir in the future, once I step down, they have ways to get rid of you. Understand?"

"The main reason your grandfather is angry is that we were swindled out of six hundred million, but also because of his disappointment in me, and in you, especially your reaction, which disappointed him even more."

Long Teng’s words struck Long Jieming like a thunderbolt, leaving him completely stunned.

Before, he only knew that his father was the heir to the Long family and that he too would one day assume that position, but he had never considered that even if he took that position, it wouldn’t be secure.

"Dad, I know I was wrong."

Long Jieming was immediately filled with shame, reflecting on all the foolish things he had done in the past. He suddenly felt regretful, wishing he had learned more about how to become a qualified future family heir.

This incident was also a wake-up call for him.

Seeing Long Jieming’s remorseful expression, Long Teng’s anger dissipated in an instant. He sighed and looked at Long Jieming with a complex expression, saying, "The way you turned out today is largely my fault, too. I protected you too well before, to the point where you’ve never really experienced any hardship."

"Enough," Qin Chuan sighed, "there’s no point fretting over what has passed. What we need to consider now is how to cleanse our dishonor."

As he saw the worried expression on Long Teng’s face, Long Jieming asked in confusion, "Dad, can’t we just go to Cloud Summit Heaven and kill that bastard to end it all? What are you still worried about?"

Long Teng looked at Long Jieming with disappointment and suddenly asked, "Do you know why no one voiced any opposition when your grandfather offered me a chance to redeem our family’s honor?"

Long Jieming blurted out, "Grandpa is the Family Head. Even if they had objections, who would dare raise them?"

The look of disappointment on Long Teng’s face deepened. Seeing this, Long Jieming panicked. Had he said something wrong again?

"Dad, am I oversimplifying things?" Long Jieming murmured softly.

Long Teng was completely disheartened but still said, "Although we were swindled out of six hundred million, your legs did heal after taking his elixirs, which is enough to show that the kid does have some abilities."

"Besides, he lives in one of Yandu’s top ten villas, the Cloud Summit Heaven Villa, which belongs to Ye Tiancheng of the Ye Family. What does it say about the kid that he can live in Ye Tiancheng’s villa?"

Long Jieming looked stunned, finally realizing that Qin Chuan was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Originally, he thought that simply killing Qin Chuan would wash away the disgrace, but now, that task seemed like a hot potato.

"As far as I know, this kid has a complicated relationship with Murong Mingyue, and his ties with Lu Yanwu of the Lu Family are also unclear. If he were ordinary, would he be in contact with so many people from the Nine Gates of Yandu?"

"Moreover, he has a mysterious young woman by his side with King Realm Cultivation, and let’s not forget, this woman publicly killed Liu Jun of the Liu Family. Yet, she is still alive to this day. Is that normal?"

"There’s also a rumor that Liu Hanwen, father of Liu Jun, has already taken people to Cloud Summit Heaven Villa and returned without success."

Long Jieming was dumbfounded. He knew nothing of what Long Teng had just said, and he hadn’t investigated Qin Chuan more deeply.

"Do you still think it’s easy to kill him?" Long Teng asked.

Long Jieming shook his head without saying a word.

Only at this moment did he realize how foolish he had been. If he hadn’t been born into the Long Family, if he didn’t have a father like Long Teng, and a grandfather, the Family Head Long Qianqiu, he was nothing.

Long Teng said with a heavy face, "If I’m not mistaken, that woman by Qin Chuan’s side is none other than a true King Realm Cultivation powerhouse. With her there, trying to kill Qin Chuan is as hard as scaling the heavens!"

"To kill Qin Chuan, we need at least a King Realm Mid-stage power by our side, but we simply have no right to command such high-level forces."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the silent Long Jieming and asked, "If this task were given to you, what would you do?"

Long Jieming was startled at first but quickly regained his composure, realizing his father was testing him.

His brain whirred into action. Long Teng was in no rush, giving his son ample time to think.

At the same time, he, too, was contemplating how to maximize benefits.

Long Jieming suddenly said, "Dad, you also mentioned that without a King Realm Mid-stage power, there’s almost no chance of killing Qin Chuan. Therefore, our only option is to seek external help."

Long Teng’s eyes lit up, feeling somewhat gratified, and he asked, "External help?"

Long Jieming nodded, "I think there are two choices. First, we could spend money to hire a King Realm Mid-stage assassin to kill Qin Chuan; second, we could ally with Qin Chuan’s enemies to take him down together."

"But hiring a King Realm Mid-stage assassin would certainly cost a huge amount. We’ve already been deceived out of six hundred million by Qin Chuan. To ask the family for more money to hire a hitman, even if Grandpa agrees, others might not."

"So it seems we only have one choice now—that is to join forces with Qin Chuan’s enemies to kill him!"
