Chapter 362: Chapter 352: Entering Guizhou at Undying Mountain

Xia Ling hadn’t expected her martial prowess to be so formidable.

She even wondered if Long Si was deliberately letting her win.

Therefore, Xia Ling couldn’t help but say, "Big Brother Long Si, don’t feel obligated to go easy on me just because I’m your sister-in-law. It’s an exaggeration to think I have the strength to send you flying in one move."

On hearing this, Long Si bitterly laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I really didn’t let you win. You are truly much stronger than me."

"Really?"

Xia Ling frowned. "Then let’s spar a few more moves to test it."

"No, no, no, I admit defeat."

Long Si quickly waved his hands.

In just one move, Long Si had already determined that he was indeed no match for Xia Ling.

Seeing Xia Ling’s disbelief, Long Chen immediately smiled and said, "Long Si really can’t beat you. It seems you’ve been working hard recently, well done."

Long Chen patted Xia Ling’s shoulder.

Upon hearing Long Chen’s words, Xia Ling finally broke into a smile and said, "It’s not just me who’s been working hard, they have all been diligent too."

"I’ll have a match with you."

Long’er suddenly stepped forward, staring at Xia Ling.

"Okay."

Xia Ling didn’t refuse.

Long Chen felt a jolt in his heart and quickly intervened, "There’s no need for you two to compete. We have a lot to do. Xia Ling, go see if there’s anything else needed in the mansion. Since you’re more familiar with Qianzhou, you might have to put in a bit more effort."

"Alright then."

Xia Ling’s heart was clear as a mirror.

She could see that Long’er’s relationship with Long Chen was the same as her own.

The difference was, this Long’er harbored some hostility towards her.

Or perhaps, she seemed eager to test Xia Ling’s abilities.

She didn’t mind exchanging a few moves with Long’er, regardless of winning or losing.

But since Long Chen objected, Xia Ling had to let it go.

Long’er also didn’t insist on competing with Xia Ling and remained silent.

After Xia Ling went off to bus herself, Long Chen said, "Starting from today, our Heavenly Net department must immediately spring into action. Our information-gathering scope should not be limited to Qianzhou, but should extend throughout Great Xia and even the whole world. We prohibit Western cultivators from entering Great Xia and forbid any cultivator from causing trouble within its borders. Once discovered, they will be dealt with without mercy.

In short, the Great Xia Mansion is now the law enforcement agency of Great Xia’s cultivation world. Does everyone understand?"

"This is thrilling; I’ve completely understood it."

"Long Brother, we have a great responsibility."

"I like it."

Everyone was somewhat excited.

"Now that everyone understands, Long’er, you’ll arrange the specifics. The Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow four groups, each group should select a leader. Remember, Heavenly Net and the four groups must cooperate with each other. Only then can we truly have a thorough understanding of the cultivation world of Great Xia," said Long Chen with a smile.

"Understood."

Long’er nodded lightly.

"Good, then everyone should rest for today and start work formally tomorrow morning," Long Chen said.

...

That night, around nine o’clock.

At home, Long Chen received a call from Long’er.

"There is a suspicious person who has entered Qianzhou."

Long’er’s voice was extremely serious.

"Who is it?" Long Chen asked.

"It’s not clear yet, but they’re very suspicious. We can be sure it’s a cultivator," said Long’er.

"Send someone to intercept them and have them register at Great Xia Mansion. Also, in the future, if any suspicious individuals are found, they must be stopped at the city gates first. If they don’t register, they are not allowed to enter the city," Long Chen instructed.

"Yes, I’ll take care of it right away."

Long’er ended the call, swift and decisive.

This had become Long’er’s approach to work since he started a high-demanding job.

"What’s happened? Is there trouble at the Great Xia Mansion?"

Xia Ling asked anxiously.

"Some suspicious characters have entered Qianzhou," Long Chen said.

Xia Ling was shocked and immediately said, "It’s not the Hall Master from the Heavenly God Temple, is it?"

"I don’t know," replied Long Chen. "We should have the results soon after our Heavenly Net and the War Department conduct their investigation."

"Should we go and take a look?" Xia Ling asked.

"No rush," Long Chen said. "Let’s wait."

"Alright then," Xia Ling said helplessly.

"Xia Ling, there’s something off about you. Great Xia Mansion is your husband’s responsibility. If you run off to the Great Xia Mansion, does it mean you’re planning to neglect our Dragon Shadow?" Zhao Churan asked Xia Ling.

"Of course, I’ll take care of it," said Xia Ling. "Besides, I have a better idea."

"What? Let’s hear it," Long Chen looked at Xia Ling.

"We Dragon Shadow are so powerful, we could totally set up a massive big data system and integrate it with the Heavenly Net of the Great Xia Mansion. This way, we can expose those lurking in the dark, making it much easier to find anyone we want. If it weren’t for the presence of the Great Xia Mansion, we wouldn’t dare do this, but with it, I think we can pull off this big data system," Xia Ling explained.

"That involves more complex issues; I’ll ask Ancestor Xia," Long Chen said.

Zhao Churan and others were rendered speechless.

Long Chen was someone who could communicate with Ancestor Xia at any moment.

Having such a man right before them made them feel somewhat surreal.

Long Chen had been on the phone for a good while before the conversation ended, and he came over to Xia Ling with a smile, "Ancestor Xia said it’s doable. He will get in touch with the relevant departments. If Dragon Shadow Group builds the big data surveillance system, the authorities will cooperate, and whatever data you need, you’ll be able to get."

"That’s great; with this, the Heavenly Net system of the Great Xia Mansion will be even more formidable," Xia Ling said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, you’re too amazing. Such a big issue resolved with just one phone call," Li Yuexin looked at Long Chen with admiration.

Long Chen glanced at Li Yuexin and suddenly recalled an incident in the kitchen when Li Yuexin had crouched down sneakily to do something for him.

For a moment, Long Chen involuntarily looked at Li Yuexin’s small, cherry lips.

Li Yuexin was taken aback for a moment, then bloomed like a flower in delight.

Long Chen quickly shifted his gaze away and said, "It’s nothing impressive, just part of the job. By the way, I’m planning to train you all into unrivaled masters, to be our ultimate trump card. What do you think about that?"

"I think we’re already pretty strong. If you include Xiaowu and Xuan’er, if we team up against you, you might not be able to beat us," Yuechan said with a playful smile.

"Really? That confident?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Hmph, we are very powerful," Xiaowu retorted proudly.

"Brother Long Chen, you might really not be able to beat us. Recently, Sister Xia Ling and the others have made leaps and bounds in their cultivation; it’s almost freakish how fast they’re improving," Zhuge Xuan also said with a smile.

"Is that so? Well, no time like the present. Why don’t you all come at me together, and let’s see how your cultivation really stacks up," Long Chen suggested.

"It’s not appropriate here; we wouldn’t want to damage the furniture. Let’s go to the rooftop," Xia Ling suggested.

"Sounds good," Long Chen stood up, preparing to go to the rooftop.

But just then, his phone rang; it was a call from Long’er.

"Hush," Long Chen motioned for everyone to be quiet, then answered the call, "Long’er, did you find out?"

"There’s been a conflict, a fight broke out. The other party claims to be from Undying Mountain, extremely arrogant. Two of Long Si’s men have died, and now they’re on their way back," Long’er said gravely.

Hearing this, Long Chen’s expression immediately turned icy, "I’ll be right there."
