Chapter 428 - 413: Picking Up a Big Star

Chapter 428: Chapter 413: Picking Up a Big Star

"Why is this not possible?"

Long Chen pulled out the Dragon God Sword, trailing a string of blood.

Bang.

The Sword Master knelt on the ground, his eyes still filled with confusion and unwillingness.

He couldn’t understand why he had lost to Li Xiu.

He didn’t understand why after a hundred years of cultivation, he wasn’t as good as Li Xiu.

Overwhelmed by unwillingness, rage boiled up in his heart. He vomited blood again, and his life force started fading rapidly.

"Do you know why you lost?"

Long Chen asked.

"Why?"

The Sword Master’s voice was deep.

He was struggling hard not to completely fall down.

Long Chen calmly said, "Actually, the gap in our combat strength isn’t that wide. You’re much older, yet you couldn’t stabilize your mindset. That’s a crucial reason you lost this duel. Of course, in the end, it’s also because I am strong enough to shatter your composure. I won fair and square, no problems there, right?"

As Long Chen’s words fell, the Sword Master’s eyes closed for good, and he collapsed onto the ground.

With the Sword Master’s fall, Long Chen’s hanging worries were also completely resolved.

With his death, Great Xia would embrace a long period of peace, no longer troubled by Cultivators or Ancient Martial Practitioners within.

Great Xia Mansion could use this time to greatly develop and firmly control the situation.

Xia Ling and others came out of the control room and approached Long Chen.

"What should we do with this body?"

Xia Ling asked.

"Send someone to find a nice place to bury him respectfully. No matter what, he managed to cultivate to this level; he’s somewhat of a figure."

Long Chen spoke softly.

"Alright, I’ll take care of it."

Xia Ling immediately arranged for someone to carry out Long Chen’s orders.

"Xia Ling, I’m about to let those seventeen people come out of seclusion and establish strongholds throughout Great Xia. We at Great Xia Mansion need to seize the opportunity to rise explosively, creating overwhelming momentum. This will deter the Cultivators and Martial Artists of Great Xia from causing trouble, ensuring true peace for Great Xia. From then on, we just need to guard our borders to prevent foreign Cultivators from entering."

Long Chen smiled.

"Okay."

Xia Ling nodded vigorously, looking at Long Chen with admiration.

In the following two months, the seventeen people trained by Long Chen rushed to various locations and established branches of Great Xia Mansion, which quickly grew and developed, forming a huge network monitoring different locations.

Since then, Great Xia Mansion had completely risen in Great Xia.

Long Chen also began to relax, spending his days either cultivating or joyfully playing with Xia Ling and the others.

But today, Xia Ling and the others were busy, and Long Chen was left with nothing to do, somewhat tired of his idle days.

Lying on a chair, Long Chen closed his eyes and couldn’t help but think of Li Yuechan.

He hadn’t seen Li Yuechan for months and didn’t know how she was faring.

During this period, Long Chen had also tried to send messages to Li Yuechan, but they were like stones sinking into the sea, with no response at all.

Long Chen had already made plans to visit Emperor City sometime soon.

Ding...

As Long Chen was pondering, his cellphone suddenly rang.

He answered the call, "Yu’er, what’s up? Do you miss me? Hey, then come back, and we can play a game."

"Hey, stop messing around; I’m busy. Can you help me pick someone up at the airport? Are you free?"

Xuanyuan Yu’er asked.

"Yeah, who?"

"She’s landing at three in the afternoon, just wait for her at the arrival gate, she..."

"Yu’er, come here a minute, there’s an urgent matter here," at that moment, Long Chen heard Xia Ling’s voice.

"Coming, coming."

Xuanyuan Yu’er hung up the phone directly.

Long Chen gave a wry smile, she hung up without even telling him her name, that was hardly giving face.

But Long Chen decided to help Xuanyuan Yu’er anyway.

At three in the afternoon, Long Chen headed to the airport, and upon his arrival, he saw that it was already past three ten.

He hurried to the pickup area, looking around, unsure of who he was supposed to meet, feeling somewhat perplexed for a moment.

After taking a deep breath, Long Chen decided to go for it and shouted, "I’m here on behalf of Xuanyuan Yu’er for a pick-up. Anyone who is a friend of Xuanyuan Yu’er, come out; I’m right here."

After shouting, Long Chen pretended not to notice the astonished looks from the people around him.

Just as Long Chen was enduring the awkwardness, a beautiful girl with flowing long hair, dragging her suitcase, approached him.

Long Chen glanced at the girl and asked with a smile, "Is it you?"

"No, it isn’t," she replied.

"Not you? Then why did you come over?"

"Handsome, you really are interesting, hehe. Can we add each other on WeChat?" The girl blinked her big eyes.

"This..."

"Sorry, the person he’s waiting for is me."

Just then, a tall and curvaceous woman with excellent demeanor came over.

She had her hair in a ponytail, complexion fair as jade, and wore sunglasses.

The girl turned to look and instantly froze, "You... you’re Qi Xin?"

"Shh, go on."

Qi Xin whispered softly.

"Okay... okay, sorry to disturb."

The girl hastily left.

Long Chen stared at the newcomer, feeling she was very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

"You don’t remember me?"

Qi Xin removed her sunglasses and stared at Long Chen with sparkling, mesmerizing eyes.

"Sorry, you seem familiar, but I can’t recall," Long Chen said with a wry smile.

"Hmph, you actually forgot me, you’re incredible, really incredible."

Qi Xin scoffed.

"Just give me a hint and I’ll remember."

Long Chen spoke slowly.

"Car accident."

Qi Xin said two words.

"I remember now," Long Chen slapped his forehead and said, "It’s you, the big star, Yu’er’s idol, how did you end up with her?"

"Tsk, what do you mean ’ended up with her’? We’ve been best friends for a while now, met more than ten times. Let me tell you quietly, I know a lot about your affairs. I didn’t expect it would be you picking me up, exactly what I wanted."

Qi Xin pursed her lips gently.

"You’re not thinking anything about me, are you?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"I... I wanted to thank you for saving my life, that’s why I came to Qianzhou," Qi Xin replied.

"How do you plan to thank me?"

"I thought about it, and you’re not lacking food, money, or anything, but there is one thing you lack."

Qi Xin stared at Long Chen.

"What would that be?" Long Chen asked, curious.

"You lack a big star darling calling you ’hubby’ every day," Qi Xin smirked.

"Cough, you really have a sense of humor. Let’s get out of here."

Long Chen chuckled dryly.

"Let’s go."

Qi Xin stepped forward, hooking her arm through Long Chen’s.

Long Chen was astonished, feeling a bit unnatural.

Because their relationship wasn’t close enough for such familiarity.

He instantly sidestepped a bit, trying to maintain some distance from Qi Xin.

But Qi Xin wouldn’t let go, matching his sidestep with her own.

"Hey, why are you dodging? I’m not going to eat you. I’m taking half a month’s vacation, and I plan to stick to you every day to repay you for saving my life, hmph, don’t think you can escape," Qi Xin said playfully.

Long Chen was caught between laughter and tears, "You’re a big star, sought after far and wide, could find any kind of man you want, why fixate on one man?"

"I just like this big ’chrysanthemum’ of yours, I’m not interested in others."
