Chapter 2264 - 2264 2254 Cooperation

2264: Chapter 2254: Cooperation 2264: Chapter 2254: Cooperation “Brother Long’s strength is indeed incomparable to ours.”

Upon hearing Wang Lei’s words, Long Yan cracked a slight smile.

The contest just now hadn’t truly determined a winner—after all, they were in the Main Hall and had to show some restraint.

But seeing Wang Lei’s impatient look, it seemed he could barely wait.

“I’m sorry.”

Luo Pin flicked the long hair by her ear and apologized to Long Yan.

Her intelligence allowed her to see that the feud was between Seven-Star Hall and Sky Clan, but she didn’t expect to be used as an excuse.

Sky Clan really was…

At that thought, a cold light flashed in Luo Pin’s eyes.

Sky Clan really didn’t know their own limits, did they think they were the Strong Ones just because they were known as the First Sect of Saint Que?

“It’s fine.

Even without you, they would have found a reason to trouble me.”

Luo Pin, seeing Long Yan’s indifferent expression, couldn’t help but feel flustered.

What did he mean by ‘even without you, they would have found trouble with them’?

Could this man even hold a conversation properly?

If Luo Pin went out to apologize, the person she apologized to might as well be beaten to death, but her charm never worked on Long Yan.

Everyone had a weakness, and although Luo Pin was a woman, her competitive spirit was even stronger than that of men.

“Can’t you be a little gentler to people?”

Luo Pin showed a pitiable look, which made the men around her hold their breath, nearly all of them wanting to embrace Luo Pin and comfort her.

However, this trick was nothing out of the ordinary for Long Yan.

After all, having known each other for so long, he was aware that the woman beside him was the type to swallow men whole without batting an eye.

He simply responded dispassionately.

“This is as gentle as I get.”

After hearing Long Yan’s remark, the surrounding men all felt an urge to throttle Long Yan.

Listen to this, this isn’t how you speak to a lady!

With your nonchalant demeanor, you look at Luo Pin as if she were just another man.

Hearing this, Luo Pin had the impulse to give Long Yan a good thrashing, but her good upbringing held her back.

Instead, she pinched Long Yan’s thigh fiercely from below.

Caught off guard with the sudden ambush on his thigh, pain furrowed Long Yan’s brows.

What was this woman up to?

With that thought, Long Yan even reached out to touch Luo Pin’s forehead.

This action delighted Luo Pin, thinking that ruining her image as the Saintess wasn’t in vain.

Even a blockhead like Long Yan was showing some affection, who would have anticipated that Long Yan was merely checking her temperature.

“You’re not feverish, so why are you talking nonsense?”

Luo Pin didn’t bother with Long Yan, her anger rising rapidly.

This man really knew nothing of romance.

She pondered how she might make this man in front of her realize a thing or two.

“Hahaha, Brother Long, you really are…”

Chu Bei and Sun Ling next to them were laughing so hard they were bending over.

This just left Long Yan, like a monk puzzled by a riddle, wondering what the two were laughing about.

Seeing Long Yan’s perplexed look, Luo Pin sighed to herself; she was always the center of attention wherever she went, but in Long Yan’s eyes, she always seemed to be just air.

Recalling her own thoughts from before, Luo Pin couldn’t help but blush.

Sitting next to Chu Bei, Li Ruowei couldn’t help but giggle at the conversation between Long Yan and Luo Pin.

However, she became more cautious about Luo Pin and, comparing her own looks with Luo Pin’s, a boundless fighting spirit surged within her.

“This war between women must not be lost.”

Seeing the merry laughter here, Wang Lei couldn’t help feeling annoyed.

He knew perfectly well that he would make a move against the Seven-Star Hall, yet Long Yan seemed to be overly calm.

It appeared that he, as the Chief Disciple of the number one sect, was still being underestimated.

Wang Lei suppressed the anger in his heart.

Qin Lin’s simple defeat served as a warning bell for Wang Lei.

Although Long Yan’s surprise attack played a big part, it was undeniable that Long Yan was a formidable opponent.

However, as far as he was concerned, the position of Chief Disciple wasn’t something one could just casually occupy; it was something he had achieved step by step on his own.

“Long Yan, Seven-Star Hall, just you wait.”

Long Yan felt the gaze of Wang Lei and his eyes also surged with the will to fight.

Today was like a high-stakes gamble; the winner takes all, and the loser loses everything.

Long Yan had never lost in this regard before.

“Are you confident?”

Luo Pin, seeing the electric light flickering in the eyes of Long Yan and Wang Lei, quietly asked Long Yan.

“Of course not, he is the young First Person of Saint Que, not a cabbage.”

Although his words lacked confidence, Long Yan didn’t actually feel like he would lose.

He had already reached the level of Condensed Domain, but he assumed that Wang Lei wasn’t far behind.

However, he didn’t know to what extent Wang Lei had condensed his domain.

“As far as I know, Wang Lei’s domain has already been fully condensed.

But when it comes to combat skills, you are stronger than him.”

Luo Pin’s onion-white fingers gently tapped on the table.

As far as the intelligence network of the Shengdao Alliance was concerned, a mere Saint Que sect was not an issue at all.

However, Luo Pin’s words did raise Long Yan’s vigilance.

It seemed that Wang Lei and his younger brother were not the same; Wang Lei truly was a worthy opponent.

Seeing Long Yan’s combative expression, Luo Pin knew she couldn’t stop him.

However, from the information she held about Long Yan, his journey so far had all been due to his relentless spirit.

Although they had not seen each other for some time, whenever they met again after each separation, Long Yan always brought surprises.

A mere Wang Lei would certainly not be a stumbling block for him.

“However, I will need your help with the matters afterwards.”

After contemplating for a moment, Long Yan spoke.

The Seven-Star Hall’s foundation was still unstable now.

Having a partner in cooperation might stabilize their position considerably, especially since the Shengdao Alliance was the second-largest sect in the Holy Domain, just behind the Sky Clan.

Of course, the Sky Clan’s claim to being the first was only because the Shengdao Alliance was not willing to make a move.

If it came to a real fight, the Sky Clan would certainly not be the match of the Shengdao Alliance.

“Oh?”

Looking at Luo Pin’s puzzled expression, Long Yan slowly shared his thoughts.

Strictly speaking, the main strength of the Shengdao Alliance lay within the Sacred Continent.

Despite its impressive capital, there were always inconveniences in making moves.

Long Yan wanted the Seven-Star Hall to become the alliance’s front sect—a mutually beneficial partnership that would neither cause gossip nor compromise, ensuring both parties got what they wanted.

“You mean to make the Seven-Star Hall into a puppet gang for the Shengdao Alliance?”

“No, no, no, certainly not.”

Hearing Luo Pin’s words, Long Yan shook his head and then continued.

Rather than a puppet relationship, Long Yan valued a mutually beneficial one.

The Seven-Star Hall had just entered the Saint Que, and their position was not very stable.

The Shengdao Alliance was an established union.

Although its formidable strength deterred anyone from provoking it, there would still be some shortsighted individuals who might choose to provoke them.

The people from the Shengdao Alliance would provide financial support, and the Seven-Star Hall would provide human resources.
