Chapter 326: Old Master’s Entrustment 2

"Old friends?" Madame Ren was taken aback, wondering why Leng Xuan, the bodyguard, seemed to have such grand connections. Was he only serving as Xue Jiu’s bodyguard because of someone else’s influence? Just as she was about to speak, her husband, Ling Ao, touched her arm a few times, signaling for her to stop talking. Although she felt somewhat aggrieved, she didn’t want to make it difficult for her husband by putting him between her and her father, so she held back her words and shook her head, not asking any further questions.

The Old Master looked back at Madame Ren. After all, they were family, and as his mood settled down, his tone became gentler. "Fang Hua, I know what’s on your mind. No matter what, you’re concerned for Xue Jiu’s sake, but as a grandfather who’s watched her grow up from a young age, my affection for her isn’t any less than yours. So, you don’t have to worry too much. I absolutely trust Leng Xuan’s character. Although he and Xue Jiu live in the same villa, I heard he’s just staying in a guest room on the first floor, while Xue Jiu lives on the second floor, and recently Xiao Jie has been staying with her too."

Madame Ren cracked a slight smile and said, "Dad, my concern has turned into confusion. I hope you won’t take it to heart. However, what exactly is Leng Xuan’s background, and why do you trust him so much? Of course, if you don’t want to say, I won’t insist. I’m just asking out of curiosity, with no other intention."

The Old Master pondered for a moment and then asked, "Ling Ao, do you still remember your Uncle Long?"

Ling Ao was somewhat puzzled by why the Old Master would suddenly bring up this question. He paused and then chuckled, "Dad, are you talking about Uncle Long Qingyun? Of course I remember him. Why would you suddenly mention Uncle Long?" As he said this, he suddenly recalled the Old Master’s words that ’Leng Xuan stayed by Xue Jiu’s side entirely because of an old friend’s face.’ Could it be... that Leng Xuan stayed because of Uncle Long?

At this thought, Ling Ao’s expression suddenly changed. He was well aware of Long Qingyun’s identity. The Ling Corporation’s success today owed much to Uncle Long’s help.

But what exactly was the relationship between Leng Xuan and Uncle Long? Ling Ao was very curious!

"He’s your Uncle Long’s prized disciple!" the Old Master revealed without waiting for Ling Ao to voice his doubts.

Ling Ao’s expression shifted slightly. His Uncle Long was, without doubt, the world’s number one assassin. Although he had retired, he had joined a national organization and became the leader of the Dark Sword Organization. Over the years, he had trained numerous exceptional assassins for the country. Could it be that Leng Xuan was one of these assassins trained by him?

However, Ling Ao quickly thought of another question. If Leng Xuan was Uncle Long’s disciple, why did the Old Master say he himself didn’t dare to offend him? Considering the close relationship between the Old Master and Uncle Long, closer than blood brothers, offending just a disciple of Uncle Long didn’t seem like such a big deal, did it?

About this, Ling Ao couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he thought, so he couldn’t help asking, "Dad, why do you say you don’t dare to offend Leng Xuan?"

The Old Master frowned slightly and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Before joining Dark Sword, Leng Xuan had another master. The skill of this master is so high that even ten Uncle Longs together wouldn’t be his match. Now do you understand what I mean?" (Busy day today, three more Chapters to be updated later)
