Chapter 2259 - 2259 2249 Let's Take a Trip

2259: Chapter 2249: Let’s Take a Trip 2259: Chapter 2249: Let’s Take a Trip Although Wang Lei did not think highly of his younger brother, after all, he was his own blood.

Wang Lei was certainly aware of all the domineering antics done under his name, but he never interfered.

However, today someone had the audacity to challenge his authority and took action against the Wang Camp, even crippling his brother’s limbs, which was a slight against Wang Lei’s face.

The lackey dared not hide anything and recounted the events as they happened.

Naturally, he didn’t dare to exaggerate for fear of discrepancies being discovered, which would be his problem.

He was just a follower of the Wang Camp, and no one would protect him.

“Such a person exists?”

The door of the room creaked open, and a handsome youth emerged slowly from within, his originally fine face marred by a pair of fox-like eyes, which somewhat detracted from his overall appearance.

The man before him was Wang Lei, but the lackey didn’t dare to lift his head to glimpse at Wang Lei, merely bowing his head.

“It’s not only Young Master Wang who was beaten, but Elder Ling was also given a thrashing by that person.”

“Oh?”

An interested expression crossed Wang Lei’s face.

He knew of Ling Wuqing’s strength, not the strongest, but certainly not weak.

The lackey said that he couldn’t even withstand two moves from Long Yan, this fired up Wang Lei’s interest.

“Pass down my order, keep this matter confidential.

When the time comes to pay tribute to the sect, I will personally seek retribution for my brother and Ling Wuqing.”

Wang Lei thought it over; as someone very skilled in power maneuvers, he knew his brother already had a bad reputation in the whole Saint Que, coupled with the beating of Ling Wuqing, if he took it upon himself to reclaim face, it might attract criticism, clearly a disadvantageous position.

However, all sects that join Saint Que must undergo a formality, which is paying tribute to the sect.

It’s an experience every Saint Que sect must go through.

According to the rules of Saint Que, it’s acceptable to take action during the tribute-paying ceremony.

So, Wang Lei planned to make his move then, knowing that no one would fault him as it was considered normal.

Meanwhile, Long Yan was still unaware that he had already become the target of Wang Lei.

After beating Ling Wuqing, he foresaw that the Sky Clan might seek retaliation.

His thoughts were simple: to confront soldiers with generals and to counter the flooding waters with earth.

“Let whatever tricks they have come, and I will deal with them then.”

“Brother Long, these two days I’ve been away, no one has caused any trouble, have they?”

Chu Bei took a sip from his drink and asked, as it was usually his strong presence that dominated the area.

There had been some matters to attend to, so he left for two days.

Hearing about the provocation from the Wang Camp from Long Yan, Chu Bei showed a helpless bitter smile; this was not the first time.

Before, thanks to his own strength, the Wang Camp had retreated once.

He did not expect that during his absence, they would come to bother Li Ruowei.

As for Ling Wuqing, Chu Bei knew of him, but today was the first appearance.

“Junior Sister Li, I’m truly sorry for these unexpected incidents.”

Hearing Chu Bei’s apologetic tone, Li Ruowei merely responded with a faint ‘hmm’.

Apart from when by Long Yan’s side, her innate temperament was not one of coldness towards Chu Bei.

Chu Bei, obviously accustomed to this form of dialogue, said no more.

However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed towards the doorway with noisy footsteps.

“Who is Long Yan?”

A clearly leading man stood at the doorway; he was the Captain of the entire Saint Que Security Team, a representative figure within the Saint Que Gang.

This organization consisted of a few delegates from the power-holding sects within Saint Que and was, in essence, the true holder of authority in Saint Que.

This man was a representative of the Sky Clan, named Tian Luo.

While Wang Lei did not personally seek to regain face for his brother, that did not mean he would allow Long Yan to live comfortably.

Hence, he contacted the Captain within the Saint Que Security Team, belonging to the Sky Clan, seeking to make trouble for Long Yan under the pretext of combat.

“What’s the matter?”

Chu Bei, recognizing who these men were, stepped forward and asked.

After listening to Lia Ruowei’s explanations in private, Long Yan had a rough understanding of Saint Que’s structure, and at the same time, a cold smile played on his lips.

It seemed like after dealing with the Wang Camp, there was truly no end to the troubles that followed.

“I’m not looking for you, get out of the way.”

As a representative of the Sky Clan participating in the Security Team, Tian Luo also possessed considerable strength.

Chu Bei had clearly not expected Tian Luo to suddenly strike, causing him to stagger back several steps.

This shove was infused with full True Qi, rampaging through Chu Bei’s body, causing him discomfort as he hurriedly circulated his own power to neutralize the invading True Qi.

“I am Long Yan, so what?”

Long Yan placed his hand on Chu Bei’s shoulder, as Long Yan’s True Qi penetrated into Chu Bei’s body, helping him to smooth out the rampaging True Qi.

Under the assistance of the Crimson True Qi, Chu Bei’s complexion greatly improved.

These people were clearly here to provoke a fight.

Ever since he beat the Wang Camp, it seems like all sorts of demons and monsters can’t sit still.

Tian Luo had an arrogant look on his face, looking down at Long Yan through his nostrils.

Accustomed to his own way, Tian Luo never imagined someone daring to stand up against him.

“Come with me.

Don’t you know that private fighting is not allowed within Saint Que?”

Long Yan helplessly spread his hands — you can’t expect us to just sit back and do nothing when provoked.

Upon hearing Long Yan’s words, Tian Luo’s eyes bulged, seemingly incredulous that someone would dare to talk back to him.

It looks like he’s a calf without fear of a tiger.

“Cut the crap, just come with us!”

After speaking, Tian Luo attempted to shove Long Yan, as he had shoved Chu Bei, but Long Yan was not someone so easily pushed around.

The Crimson True Qi around his body converged on his chest.

When Tian Luo’s palm struck Long Yan’s chest, Tian Luo himself was sent flying backward.

The bystanders were all shocked.

What kind of move was that?

They strike Long Yan and then they are the ones flying back?

Is this some new form of scam?

“You…”

Tian Luo on the ground struggled to finish his sentence for half a day, unsure of what to say.

Should he claim violent resistance?

But it was himself who struck the other person, no matter how you put it, it just doesn’t make sense.

“Take him away, take him away.”

Tian Luo was utterly frustrated.

What kind of freak was this Long Yan?

Chu Bei and Li Ruowei quickly stepped forward to intervene, but Long Yan stopped them both.

“It’s fine.

It would be easy for them to get me in, and perhaps after a while, they’ll be begging me to come out.”

“Hmph, acting as if you’re someone important?”

Tian Luo, upon hearing Long Yan’s words, said disdainfully.

He’s just an ordinary disciple, once inside, isn’t he at my mercy?

Tian Luo had already decided on what pretext to use to deal with Long Yan.

In response to Tian Luo’s words, Long Yan simply smiled, while instructing Chu Bei and Li Ruowei to take good care of Feng Tianlu, and to help him when he wants something.

Seeing both of them nod, Long Yan then turned to look at Tian Luo.

“Captain Tian, shall we go?”

This was the first time Tian Luo had seen someone so willing to go; scratching the back of his head like a puzzled monk, he could only touch the back of his head and agree to go.
