Chapter 306 - 220 - 227

Chapter 220: "Brothers" Meet again

Long Yi raised his eyebrows, and curiously looking at Xiao Yi, he wondered why she was hesitating.

"Young Master, do you really want to keep that Li Qing beside you?" Xiao Yi asked, and some hesitation was flashing in her transparent eyes.

"What's the matter? Did you predict something?" Hearing Xiao Yi, Long Yi asked, understanding she had definitely sensed something.

The eyes of Xiao Yi flashed, then softly said: "This person has stubborn personality, and blood light is hidden within his body. I fear he might be detrimental for Young Master in the future."

"How can that be? From the time I saw him for the first time, I am absolutely sure that he isn't that kind of person, aren't you being oversensitive?" Long Yi said with a smile. He was confident that he wouldn't misjudge someone. Li Qing, this kind of person would die before betraying, and now that he had made up his mind, he wouldn't go back on his words.

Xiao Yi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she swallowed it back. She didn't predict Li Qing being detrimental to Long Yi, instead, later would become most faithful and true to Long Yi, but a number of unclear fragments made her mind very restless. But seeing Long Yi was so confident, she couldn't help but thought she really was being oversensitive.

"Let's return, I will pay attention to this hereafter." Long Yi smiled and patted the head of Xiao Yi, then turned around, walking towards the mansion of Ximen.

Xiao Yi was startled for a long while, then with her beautiful face suddenly turning red, she smiled beautifully, and then she followed after Long Yi. How long had it been since Long Yi had last touched her so familiarly? This casual gesture of Long Yi made her heart endlessly jump with joy, because from this she could associate many things.

"Young Master, that girl is following us the entire time." Xiao Yi caught up to Long Yi and said.

Long Yi just smiled. Without even turning his head, he had already sensed her.

"Ignore her, she should be looking for Li Qing. This kid is truly lucky in love." Long Yi smirked and said.

Reaching the entrance of Ximen mansion, they saw Barbarian Bull and Li Qing were standing at the entrance waiting for them. Barbarian Bull being a straightforward person had already forgotten about the conflict of just a moment ago. For Barbarian Bull, now that Li Qing had already become the subordinate of Long Yi, he was his friend, so Barbarian Bull kept on talking with Li Qing, and Li Qing also silently listen attentively. He was listening very carefully because in everything Barbarian Bull was talking about, Long Yi was the main protagonist.

"Hello, that, noble son, can you come over here?" When Long Yi was intending to enter, a voice came through from not far away.

Long Yi smiled in his heart. He truly hadn't expected that this young girl would unexpectedly dare to call him in front of people.

Several people turned around, and saw that young girl rescued by Li Qing in Wangjiang Building was courageously looking at Li Qing with a red face.

"Li Qing, she is calling you, how about you go there?" Long Yi smiled and said to Li Qing.

Having heard what was said, Li Qing, without the slightest bit of change in his expression, walked towards the young girl in large strides. Seeing this, this young girl revealed a happy smile, but her smile quickly froze, because after Li Qing walked to her front, he immediately turned around and returned.

Long Yi immediately didn't know whether to laugh or to cry and asked: "Li Qing, what the hell are you doing."

"Young Master ordered me to go over, so I went over there and return." The answer of Li Qing stunned Long Yi. It seems this fellow's heart was truly as cold as his appearance. Even such beauty was unable to arise his desire.

Long Yi waved his hand and called a guard, then pointing at that young girl with a pale face, he asked: "Do you know who that girl is?"

That guard immediately answered: "Replying to second Young Master, she is His Excellency Revenue Ministry's Penner Kong's only daughter, Kong Qi. She is somewhat famous in Soaring Dragon City."

Revenue Ministry's Penner was merely a rank four minor official. And in Soaring Dragon City, there were many big officials, so those who were not big officials were not famous here. Long Yi nodded his head understanding why he didn't have any impression of this girl in his memory. Looking at her, she was 15 or 16 in age, so two years ago, she was merely an unripe little apple. But after these two years, she began displaying a little bit of distinctive flavor.

Long Yi didn't pay any attention to her again, just turning around, he entered the mansion, locking out that brave little girl.

"Second brother, you finally came back. These two past years, your big brother missed you to death." Just when Long Yi entered the hall, a man dressed in golden armor walked over in large stride and said some compassionate words, but his eyes were not so friendly. This person was the big brother of Ximen Yu, Ximen Tian, was the deputy leader of Violent Dragon Empire's most elite legion, Violent Dragon Legion.

Long Yi smiled, and spreading out his arms, he hugged, but he unexpectedly felt the arms of Ximen Tian tightening around him as if an iron hoop.

"Second brother, don't think that just because you have returned, you will be able to snatch the seat of patriarch from me." Ximen Tian whispered in the ears of Long Yi.

"Before talking about snatching or not, neither you nor I have the final say in this matter, moreover, I am not interested in the seat of patriarch, but if our father is set on passing the seat to me, then that truly will be troublesome." Long Yi chuckled, and his body suddenly vibrated, then Ximen Tian suddenly felt tingling in both of his arms and he involuntarily loosened his hand.

Ximen Tian was surprised, and immediately afterwards, he flew into rage from shame, and looking at Long Yi, his killing intent rose.

"Father, father, hug." Just then, a child's voice suddenly resounded.

Long Yi turned around to look, and saw a tender little girl was staggering towards Ximen Tian with a beautiful young married woman walking behind her. Long Yi recognized her, she was his sister-in-law. And it seems when he was away from the home, she had given birth to a daughter.

The expression of Ximen Tian somewhat softened, and after he held this little girl in his arms, she kissed him.

"Sister-in-law, long time no see." Long Yi smiled and greeted this beautiful married woman.

"Brother-in-law, you have returned, your big brother would frequently talk about you." This beautiful married woman softly smiled.

Long Yi smirked, frequently talked about me? Perhaps, he was frequently cursing me to die early.

It obviously seems that the affection of Ximen Tian towards his daughter was not that deep, after holding for a bit, he again placed her down. As a matter of fact, this was not surprising, as he always wished to have a son to stabilize his position in Ximen clan, but after his wife finally got pregnant, she unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter, so he was greatly disappointed.

Then why didn't Ximen Tian go and marry many concubines to bear his child? This point made Long Yi extremely admire him, which was, his this big brother was rare descendant among the direct descendants of Ximen clan who had a special belief, and that belief was not marrying a second wife. And perhaps this was the only good part of Ximen Tian that was not inherited by Ximen Nu and Ximen Yu. And naturally, Long Yi also suspect that this really was not the case of this special belief of Ximen Tian, rather he was under the thumb of his wife, so he could only be obedient.

At that time, that little girl's dark and liquid big eyes curiously looked towards Long Yi.

And Long Yi being very fond of children, seeing his niece was looking at him, he made funny faces, making her giggle.

"Shuxian, quickly greet to uncle." This beautiful married woman said to her daughter with a smile.

"Uncle." Little Shuxian cutely called out.

Long Yi smiled and said: "Shuxian was it, come give uncle a hug."

Little Shuxian immediately rushed over and Long Yi picked her up, then played with her left and right. Now he especially liked his niece.

At that time, Nangong Xiangyun and her brother Nangong Nu came in. And seeing Long Yi was playing with Ximen Shuxian, Nangong Xiangyun immediately stepped forward, and snatching her from the bosom of Long Yi, she said to Little Shuxian: "Don't play with this uncle. He is a big bad fellow, come play with big sister."

But Little Shuxian however immediately cried out, she extended her small arms towards Ximen Yu and continuously called: "Uncle, I want uncle."

"Big sister will play with you. This uncle is a big bad fellow, how about big sister buy you a candy?" Nangong Xianyun ferociously glared at Long Yi, and began to coax Little Shuxian in her bosom.

"No, I want uncle." Little Shuxian burst out in tears. This made Nangong Xianyun alarmed and confused.

At this time, the sister-in-law of Long Yi took her daughter, and Little Shuxian also stopped crying, merely she constantly stretched her little hands towards Long Yi, wanting to hug him.

This beautiful married woman was helpless so she handed over her daughter to Long Yi and said: "Brother-in-law, it seems Little Shuxian is very fond of you."

"Humph, little child, I wonder if she mistakenly believed Ximen Yu is her...father." Nangong Xianyun muttered.

This murmur however immediately caused the complexion of Ximen Tian to turn green. And just when he wanted to act, he saw Dongfang Wan and Lady Nangong coming in, so he immediately stopped.

After that, Ximen Tian and his wife Liu Shi immediately greeted them respectfully.

"I heard Little Shuxian crying from far away, what happened?" Dongfang Wan faintly said.

Then Liu Shi immediately narrated the events of just a moment ago.

Dongfang Wan smiled and said: "Since childhood, Yu'er is very popular with females, but I have never thought that even little children are also so fond of him." It seemed she was rather proud of her son.

Lady Nangong agreed on the surface, but in her heart, she was disdainful. Your family's brat is popular with females from childhood, what a joke. If it was not for the agreement, then how can I be willing to let my daughter fall into a fiery pit? But now that the emperor has already opened his mouth, we have no way around this matter.

Little Shuxian seemed rather afraid of Dongfang Wan. After Dongfang Wan came, she quieted down and didn't even dare to look towards Dongfang Wan, her grandmother. She hid herself in the bosom of Long Yi in a well-behaved manner.

As a matter of fact, it was not like Dongfang Wan went out of her way to frighten this little girl every day, rather as a Miss of a traditional noble clan, her body naturally possessed powerful aura. Moreover, she was considerably partial towards her son, so she naturally was not kind towards Ximen Tian husband and wife. In her view, the wild ambition of Ximen Tian hindered her son, which was intolerable for her, so she naturally wasn't that fond of Little Shuxian too. And with the heart of little children being very sensitive, as well as their reaction being instinctive, Little Shuxian feared Dongfang Wan.

"Mother, is meal ready?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

"Yes, but wait until your father come to start the meal." Dongfang Wan said with a smile.

Not long after, Ximen Nu returned, and similarly, he also seemed to be not fond of this granddaughter Little Shuxian, could it be that he also regards men as superior to women? Long Yi thought in his heart, but shouldn't grandfather and grandchild be very close?

On the surface, it was an amiable and lovely meal, but in fact, it was not like that. Everyone was putting up a false mask.

After the meal, Lady Nangong together with her son and daughter left. Ximen Tian and his wife and daughter also returned back to their own courtyard.

"Yu'er, follow me to the study." Ximen Nu stood up and said solemnly.

Chapter 221: Ximen clan's secret teachings of ancestors

Long Yi followed Ximen Nu inside the study, then sat down opposite to him.

Ximen Nu fixedly stared at the handsome face of Long Yi which was the very image of himself. In those more than two years, he didn't know what Long Yi experienced and how many fortuitous encounters he encountered for today's achievement. After looking for a while, the eyes of Ximen Nu flashed with a hint of happiness and relief, his son had finally grown up. In those two years, when he read every little detail of those intelligence reports, he would feel relieved in his heart, as he had finally obtained the much need helping hand for the important matters of Ximen clan, as well as also a successor of Ximen clan.

Ximen Nu was lost in thought for some time, then looking at Long Yi reclining on the chair waiting for him to open his mouth, he slowly said: "All the matters you've experienced in these past two years, tell me in detail."

Long Yi shrugged his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Father, is your intelligence department vegetarian? Don't you already know all of my situations?"

"Dumb idiot, although intelligence department is powerful, they inevitably let some place slip by, for example, what happened in Huangmang Plains, why do you possess magic physique? Moreover not limited to one magic physique." Ximen Nu angrily said.

"This, it's very long, it wouldn't complete even if I speak until tomorrow." Long Yi said with a smile.

"Why are you being so long-winded?" Ximen Nu said.

"Father, I am doing this for your sake, if mother knew that you trapped me in the study, forbidding me to sleep, then I fear mother will not allow you to get into bed hereafter." Long Yi smirked and said.

"Smelly brat." Ximen Nu wanted to curse, but couldn't help laughing. And with his eyes flashing with affection, he suddenly recalled the days when he got along with his father i.e. Ximen Yu's grandfather. He was also a smelly brat in front of his father, only caring about laughing and joking without proper behavior.

"Father, you are quite handsome when you smile, you must have charmed quite a lot of girls before." Long Yi smirked and said.

A trace of complacent smiled appeared on the face of Ximen Nu, then standing up, he violently knocked the head of Long Yi and cursed: "Stupid brat, what nonsense are you speaking, quickly tell your matters."

Long Yi rubbed his head, as warmness began to seep into his heart, making him feel a real family warmth. He then no longer tried to change the topic, and began to briefly explain the number of matters. He talked about the Lost City of Huangmang Plain, and also talked about the feud of Ice Palace and Raging Flame Villa. And as for the improvement of his strength as well as the change in his physique, he didn't tell the truth, rather gave the same explanation he had used as an excuse to his women. He said a man that came from a mysterious continent called Asia took him as a disciple and taught him various kind of techniques as well as changed his physique.

Although he explained briefly, but it still took three hours. While explaining, he was so thirsty that he alone drank several kettles of tea.

"I have never thought that Yu'er, you unexpectedly got such chance, it seems Heaven is still blessing our Ximen clan. For you to be able to reach this realm, your father is truly gratified." Ximen Nu patted the shoulder of Long Yi, and said in satisfaction with a smile.

The eyes of Long Yi flashed, as he naturally understood the meaning of Ximen Nu's that sentence 'Heaven is still blessing our Ximen clan'. Merely he was somewhat down in his heart. Long clan had been in charge of Violent Dragon Empire for more than 500 years, and didn't appear to be that chaotic. And although Long Zhan, who was the emperor of this generation, was not praised as clear-sighted monarch, but also could be regarded as a great schemer, so in this state, wishing to overthrow Long clan was very difficult, as Long Zhan still hadn't lost the support of people.

At this moment, Ximen Nu stood up and began walking back and forth inside the room. Then stopping in front of Ximen Yu, he said solemnly: "Yu'er, you must have already heard some rumors about our Ximen clan and Long clan having open strife and veiled struggle, right?"

"Yes, father, are you really intending to overthrow Long clan and become the emperor?" Long Yi's complexion also got serious and asked.

"Humph, Violent Dragon Empire should basically belong to our Ximen clan, merely that despicable Long clan usurped the throne that belongs to our clan. Now your father is merely trying to recapture our things." Ximen Nu coldly snorted and said.

Long Yi was surprised in his heart and said: "What's going on here?"

Ximen Nu leaned over and slowly said: "More than 500 years ago, the patriarch of Long clan and the patriarch of our Ximen clan rebelled against the emperor of that time. The patriarch of Ximen clan of that generation was a man of great talent and bold vision, merely in an extremely short period of 10 years, he shook the entire country. At that time, Long clan was merely following behind our Ximen clan. Our ancestor and the patriarch of Long clan were brothers who had gone through thick and thin, but who would have thought that, this brother of his would resort to treachery. At that time, just before our ancestor was about to ascend the throne, he suddenly died, and seizing this chance when our Ximen clan was in a panic, the patriarch of Long clan took control of the entire armed forces catching us off guard, then obtained the country that should belong to our Ximen clan. After that, seizing back our country has always been our Ximen clan's secret instruction of ancestors." Ximen Nu solemnly said as his eyes emitted blazing hatred.

Long Yi was startled, he had never thought that Ximen clan and Long clan unexpectedly had such origin.

"Father, but now is not the right time at all, only when we are in conformity with the common aspirations of the people, the will of heaven will be with us. Although our Ximen clan is big and powerful, if we cannot obtain the common aspiration of the people, everything is just indulging in an empty talk." Long Yi said.

Ximen Nu looked at Long Yi and said after laughing: "Yu'er, you are really worthy of being the son of I, Ximen Nu. You directly pointed out the crux of the problem. Compared to your elder brother, you are much better. Correct, Long Zhan has not lost the common aspiration of the people, but when the entire continent is chaotic, your father will pour some oil and add timber in the fire, making some more disturbance. And as the common people are very sensitive in the chaos of war, an opportunity will absolutely appear."

"Besides, Long Zhan has already begun to make moves to deal with our Ximen clan, so we basically don't have any choice at all, otherwise that old fox Long Zhan would absolutely gnaw us until not even our bones are left." Ximen Nu added.

Long Yi nodded his head, a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and especially since Ximen clan and Long Yi had such origin. So thinking for a bit, it was obvious that the ancestor teachings of Long clan were to eradicate Ximen clan, after all, there was a tiger right beside them that could rise and attack suddenly at any time, as a result, they were unable to securely stay on the throne.

"Yu'er, in few days, father will give you an official position in the army, then you can go and practice with the subordinates you have brought. All of them are experts, and they are being trained from the lowest level. As long as the army is in our hands, everything will be possible." Ximen Nu said.

"Got it, father." Long Yi smiled strongly. Lead army? With his family background, using the back door to hold the leadership position was the matter of great satisfaction.

At this time, Ximen Nu waved his hand in the empty air, then Long Yi sensed slight fluctuation beside him, and a shadow slowly appeared in the study.

"Skynet One pays respect to the patriarch and Young Master." The figure of this shadow was unclear as if he was enveloped with a layer of black smoke, and the voice was also neither masculine nor feminine.

"One, assign second team and third team of Skynet to Yu'er, they will be responsible for gathering intelligence that Yu'er desires." Ximen Nu commanded.

"One heeds the command of the patriarch." The shadow answered, then began to dissipate until this shadow disappeared.

Long Yi was endlessly amazed in his heart. The skill of this Skynet One was truly unfathomable, he unexpectedly was unable to track the aura of this Skynet One.

"Skynet is the underground intelligence department of our Ximen clan, only patriarch and the successor of patriarch have the authority to know their existence. Yu'er, do you understand your father's expectation?" Ximen Nu looked at Long Yi with affection.

Long Yi made a wry smile and said: "Father, I am not interested in this patriarch seat." He had returned only because he was too bored. But if this goes on like this, then wouldn't he be forced to become the emperor, if Ximen clan really overthrow Long clan? But he truly didn't want to be one.

Ximen Nu coldly snorted and scolded: "You good for nothing son, could it be that you want your father to pass down the patriarch seat to your big brother? Although your big brother is talented and is also quite a schemer, however he always lacked a thing that someone of high position should have, that is the domineering air, the domineering air that looks down upon all the living creatures under the heaven."

Long Yi rolled his eyes, then smirking, he said: "Father, I will be the successor for the time being, in any case, you are not that old to retire early, and when you retire, I guess your grandson will be sufficiently old enough, and at that time, you can let your grandson inherit, wouldn't that be better?"

Ximen Nu looked at his son and sighed, he was very satisfied with his this son, merely one dissatisfaction was, this son of his didn't crave for power, instead, yearn for free and unfettered life just like drifting clouds and wild storks.

"You, this...stupid brat, your big brother is plotting actively to have the patriarch seat, but here you are disdaining it as beneath contempt, I truly don't know what to say." Ximen Nu helplessly said.

"Father, you are not that old, at that time, letting your great-grandson inherit your seat also shouldn't be a big problem." Long Yi said with a smile.

"Less nonsense, tomorrow, there is a banquet held by the emperor in the imperial palace, so there will be many personages present there, father will introduce them to you." Ximen Nu said.

Long Yi nodded his head and said: "Got it, if there is nothing else, then I am leaving first to sleep."

Ximen Nu waved his hand, and sitting down in the chair, he began to look over the official documents on the desk.

Long Yi pushed open the door, and walked outside. There Barbarian Bull, Xiao Yi as well as Li Qing were waiting for him. And seeing he had returned, they revealed a smile.

"Boss, this kid, Li Qing said that each and every one of the women of their Moxi clan is as beautiful as an angel. No wonder he didn't even look at that little girl outside." Barbarian Bull said to Long Yi, while spitting saliva.

Long Yi used his sleeve to block his face, and scolded in jest: "Be careful while speaking, you are actually spitting out your saliva, moreover, does your bullhead understand beauty? Besides, did Li Qing really said that?"

Barbarian Bull scratched his head and said smiling stupidly: "It's the truth, if you don't believe, then you can ask little sister Xiao Yi."

"But I didn't hear." Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"How come you didn't hear that? When I asked Li Qing whether he was dissatisfied with that girl, he nodded his head. And when I asked whether the women of his clan were very beautiful or not, he nodded his head again. After that, I asked him whether he has someone he liked or not, but he didn't answer, isn't that agreeing by default? Boss, I, this old bull didn't lie to you." Barbarian Bull said while spraying a mouthful of saliva.

Long Yi just kicked Barbarian Bull and scolded in jest: "Barbarian Bull, when did you become so meddlesome, return back to sleep."

At that time, Long Yi noticed the expression of Li Qing was somewhat not right, and his ice-cold expression had unexpectedly become gentle. Moreover, with a complex look, his eyes unintentionally revealed a little bit of struggle, yearning and trace of pain.

Chapter 222: Shadow reappear

Seeing such expression of Li Qing, he understood in his heart, that this grim man, in fact, was not so grim like his outward appearance, he also has love, sorrow and probably a very torturous path of feelings.

Long Yi patted the shoulder of Li Qing in consolation, he himself had also experienced many rights and wrongs of feeling, but he was very lucky as all the women he loved also loved him. Compared to other people, Long Yi suddenly felt that he was blessed. Although there were some sorrows, but having sorrows and satisfaction every now and then, isn't this how life moves?

Li Qing gratefully looked at Long Yi, then his expression became grim again, as if that expression of just now was merely an illusion. Because the difference between those two expressions was as different as black and white, it truly was too difficult to imagine that Li Qing could also make such expression.

Long Yi returned to his luxurious courtyard, then entering into his room, he jumped onto that unusually wide bed. And at that time, Long Yi noticed that this bed unexpectedly was exactly the same as the bed inside his space ring. It seems Dongfang Wan was afraid of Long Yi being unable to sleep if she changed the bed.

After lying for a little while, he entered the luxurious bathroom on the back of his bedroom, then immersed himself in a warm bath.

While Long Yi comfortably lied on the warm pool, water vapor became dense inside the bathroom. And under the illumination of the dim light of the magic lamp, this bathroom appeared hazy, giving people a kind of unreal feeling. Every now and then, Long Yi frequently felt he was half-awake and half-asleep, and he was unable to figure out whether this was a reality or this in itself was a dream. He often felt that he was re-experiencing certain matters he had experienced before, or was experiencing the entire life of people of different space and different plane over and over again. This was just like he was watching a looped movie, moreover, he was the protagonist of that movie. He kept repeating his life.

"Boy, why are you being overly sentimental like women?" Just then, a cold voice resounded inside the sea of consciousness of Long Yi.

Long Yi was startled awake, and only then he realized that the owner of this voice hadn't appeared within his body for many days, then he said: "Brother, don't you know eavesdropping other people's worry is very shameless behavior?"

"Heh heh heh, who wants to know these trivial matters, it was you who forcibly shove it to me, letting me know it." The shadow laughed and said. That laughing sound was very sharp as if two hard things were scraped with each other, making other people grind their teeth.

The entire body of Long Yi trembled and said: "Brother, stop laughing, if you laugh anymore, then I will lose consciousness."

"You don't know how to appreciate, it's such a marvelous voice, but you are actually saying it's unpleasant to hear." The shadow also seemed to be infected by Long Yi, unconsciously, the speaking tone of this shadow was similar to the speaking tone of Long Yi.

"That's enough, you disappeared for so long as if steam, so I thought that you have died." Long Yi said with a smile.

"I died? If there is only last life remaining in this world, then that is definitely me." The shadow proudly said.

"He he, keep on bragging, do you think I don't know that you were injured by that old dragon, and you recovered somewhat only after recuperating for so long." Long Yi smiled and refuted.

The shadow instantly became silent, and spoke after a long time: "If it was not for saving you, you smelly brat, then would I have suffered such damage?"

"I know, you are amazing, you saved my life. There will come a day when I will repay you." Long Yi knew that what shadow had said was the truth. This shadow really had saved his life, so he was grateful to him.

"Heh heh, how will you repay me?" The speaking tone of the shadow appeared happy.

"Wait until my undead magic reached Magic God realm, then I will definitely help you find the most handsome body and resurrect you." Long Yi said with a smile. This was his true feeling. But the problem was, he didn't know how long it would take him to reach that realm.

"In fact, if you want to repay me then that is not difficult, just shoot down Light God when you met him, then eat him after roasting." The shadow said.

"Wow, I say, brother, you are too disgusting, actually asking me to eat a bird-men, how about this, I will shoot him down, then give him to you as a male pet?" Long Yi said with a smile.

"Male pet?" The shadow muttered, then suddenly laughed again. That laughter that could make people pass out nearly made Long Yi unable to breathe.

"Good, this however is something you have said." The shadow stopped laughing and said.

Long Yi rolled his eyes, could it be that this shadow has a mental disorder? Light God not existing is one thing, but even if he really exists, how could I be his opponent? However, this shadow seemed to have taken my words seriously.

Long Yi muttered in his heart, then standing up, he got out from the pool. And he suddenly felt a warm feeling was moving about in his body, which finally stopped at his standing erect little brother. Thinking for a bit, he knew that this definitely was that shadow inside his sea of consciousness peeping at his body.

"How is it? Don't I have rich asset?" Long Yi smirked and said.

"It's as small as an earthworm, truly embarrassing. Now I don't feel like talking to you, bye." After the shadow spoke, the shadow disappeared from his sea of consciousness.

"Jealous, this fellow is definitely jealous." Long Yi thought in bad mood. He actually said his that place that was naturally endowed was like an earthworm, he is definitely jealous. And thinking about it, with him not having a substance, he was no different from a eunuch, so his heart was naturally imbalanced.

Long Yi leisurely walked out of the bathroom. This was his first night after returning, but he was not sleepy. He just opened the window, then lying on the bed, he watched the silver moon in the sky. Involuntarily, he recalled the first woman he had encountered after he left Soaring Dragon City, who naturally was Si Bi. He recalled her face with blood red birthmark and also her dazzling eyes. It had already been more than two years since they had parted, he wondered if she still remembers him? Did that woman who had run away from him at that time for the sake of love still loves him or not?

Long Yi was unable to forget this woman who was his first love since he arrived in this world. In these days, in the continent, there were too few rumors about the saintess Si Bi, this made Long Yi not have any means to obtain her news.

Just then, Long Yi suddenly recalled that Ximen Nu had just assigned the second and third team of Skynet to him. Since that was the case, couldn't he use them to look for the whereabouts of Si Bi?

Skynet were everywhere, Long Yi was very clear about this, so looking for a girl might not be particularly difficult. Merely if Ximen Nu knew that his first command was to look for a woman, then what kind of expression would he make? It might be very splendid. Long Yi thought in his heart.

After thinking over this problem, the mood of Long Yi suddenly became relaxed, then sitting cross-legged on the bed, he began to meditate.

At the same time, Nangong Xiangyun was also having a sleepless night. On the one hand, she was greatly surprised by Long Yi. This good-for-nothing in her eyes had suddenly changed into a great expert. And she, who had the worse first impression of Long Yi, was unable to accept this change. And on the other hand, Emperor had opened his golden mouth fixing her wedding day. Now there was only a month left for her to marry a fellow whom she hated. This was something she was even more unable to accept.

Without thinking, in the mind of Nangong Xiangyun, Long Yi who was showing a bad smile appeared continuously. She also recalled that feeling of dizziness when she had touched his that disgusting thing, and she also recalled the circumstance of him holding her little hand and walking. The more she tried to control, the more those scene appeared in her mind.

"Bastard Ximen Yu, I hate you to death." Nangong Xiangyun covered her head with the quilt and shouted.

Early in the next morning, Nangong Xiangyun with her hairs loosely hanging down, and dark circles under her eyes arrived at the dining room, making Lady Nangong flabbergasted.

"Third big sister, did you go to steal last night?"Nangong Nu exclaimed.

"Shut your mouth, nobody will regard you as a mute." Nangong Xiangyun glared at her brother in bad mood.

Nangong Nu stuck out his tongue, and suddenly muttered: "Perhaps I should go look for the brother-in-law to control you, so as to avoid being bullied by you."

Nangong Xiangyun jumped up as if a cat whose tail was trampled, then violently knocking the head of Nangong Nu, she ferociously said: "Don't mention that bastard, and don't call him brother-in-law, otherwise I will beat you."

Nangong Nu shrunk back, and looking at his violent big sister, he rubbed his head feeling wronged, then ducked behind Lady Nangong.

"Xiangyun, what are you doing, why are you showing such big temper without cause or reason?" Lady Nangong reprimanded.

Nangong Xiangyun just picked up the chopsticks, then began eating the food from the bowl with feeling indignant expression on her face.

"Mother, I don't want to marry that bastard Ximen Yu, you heard me right, I don't want to marry him." Nangong Xiangyun suddenly roared towards Lady Nangong, and began to shed tears.

Lady Nangong was startled, the temper of this girl was too big, and her temperament was also as stubborn as a bull from her childhood. And since she became sensible, she had never cried. Even at that time when she was young, because she was discontented with her father's decision of her marriage, she ran to Ximen clan and made a big scene which resulted in her father ruthlessly beating her, at that time, she simply bit her lip and didn't even groaned, but now she was actually crying.

Lady Nangong stepped forward, then hugging her daughter, she sighed: "Mother understand your grievance, but the emperor has already opened his mouth, so we are unable to change this marriage. Could it be that you want your father to have a tough time because of defying the imperial decree."

"But…but your daughter really don't want to marry him." Nangong Xiangyun took a deep breath and said. She naturally was very clear about this, merely she wanted to let it out, that's all.

Nangong Nu peeped from behind the table and said: "Third big sister, I feel that brother-in-law is very good. He is so handsome and his skill is also high now. Before, didn't you dislike brother-in-law because he was useless? But now he is more powerful compared to you, so why are you still dissatisfied?"

Nangong Xiangyun glared at her younger brother, but she was somewhat perplexed in her heart, yes, now he was so powerful, but why was she still resisting like this? Oh, that's right, that was because of the moral standing of Ximen Yu, he defiled many girls, and once he was so recklessly lustful that he raped princess Long Ling'er, so even if he became so powerful, was he any different from a scum?

No, whatever happens, I will use all my strength to stop this marriage. Ximen Yu, you bastard, why on earth did you return when you were having fun outside, making me rejoice too soon. And here I was thinking, that marriage agreement was finally canceled. Why did you suddenly appear in my happy life, turning it upside down? Nangong Xiangyun hatefully shouted in her heart.

Chapter 223: 18 Successive Slashes

Long Yi laid on the lawn of his courtyard with a long green grass on his mouth. On one side, he was humming a popular tune without name, and on the other side, he was swinging his leg, letting that warm sunlight warm up his body. Xiao Yi was quietly sitting beside him, holding her head, unknowingly thinking something. And Barbarian Bull was sitting a little farther away, repeatedly wiping his Greenstone Rule, and as for Li Qing, he seemed to have some kind of stimulation yesterday, so he unexpectedly was in seclusion cultivation today.

Ah, Long Yi suddenly shouted, breaking this quiet atmosphere, then suddenly sitting up, he stretched out his body.

"Let's go to look at the training ground." Long Yi stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

Training ground was in the most west side of Soaring Dragon City, and Violent Dragon Legion was stationed there for training. And Tyrant Bear's Tyrannical Bear Mercenary Group was also arranged to stay there for the time being.

Long Yi arrived at the entrance of the military camp, then looking around, he nodded his head in satisfaction. The defense of this military camp was very strict, sentry posts and hidden lookouts were arranged very ingeniously and rationally, moreover, those dazzling weapons of the guards were emitting a burst of stern air.

Long Yi without demur, led Barbarian Bull and Xiao Yi towards inside. But seeing this, those guards pulled out their weapons, and a leader of guards ran over and said: "Second Young Master Ximen, let me go and inform first, please wait a moment here."

"Inform the fart, since you know who I am, you still dare to stop me, are you fed up with your life?" Long Yi frowned, then glaring, he pushed away this guard leader.

This guard leader gritted his teeth, obviously was very angry, but he endured, then spreading open his arms, he again stopped Long Yi and said: "Second Young Master Ximen, don't make it hard for this little one to do the job, this is an important military camp, without permission, this little one absolutely doesn't dare to let anyone enter."

"Do you know what are the consequences of offending me?" Long Yi smiled wickedly and said.

"Military orders are as unmovable as mountains, even in death, this little absolutely cannot defy military orders." This guard leader knew the means of the Second Young Master Ximen. Offend him and death was simply a petty thing, but only his death might not calm down Second Young Master Ximen, and might implicate his family. But he was an orphan from childhood, so he didn't fear the retaliation of Second Young Master Ximen. As a result, he just proudly raised his head and look Long Yi face to face.

Long Yi took out a huge sword from his space ring, then placed it on the neck of this guard leader. Seeing this, the guards behind suddenly became somewhat chaotic and everyone angrily glared at Long Yi, but all didn't dare to speak their mind.

This guard leader was strong-willed, although he was rather scared, but he didn't utter a word, just raised his head and closed his eyes.

"Hahaha, good, you have guts, what is your name?" Long Yi retracted his sword and laughed. Then patting the shoulder of this guard leader, he asked.

This guard leader opened his eyes, and seeing the expression of Long Yi, he knew that he had escaped the disaster today, and he hurriedly said: "This little one is the squad leader of the second squadron of Violent Dragon Legion's third battalion, Nie Xiaoshan."

"Nie Xiaoshan. Good, I remember you, now go and inform." Long Yi smiled and said. Violent Dragon Legion really had the well-deserved reputation, its military disciple is so strict and its combat capability is also not weak. This squad leader called Nie Xiaoshan isn't bad, from where did they dig him out?

A little while later, Nie Xiaoshan returned and commanded other guards to let Long Yi and others pass through.

Long Yi and others went in. After entering, they saw a row of stone houses, and frequently patrolling fully armed group of soldiers. And they could hear the sounds of soldiers training coming from a distant point. This mighty and majestic voices made Long Yi excited in his heart.

Long Yi caught a group of soldiers and asked about the location of Tyrannical Bear Mercenary Group, then walked away.

From far away, Long Yi saw the campsite of Tyrannical Bear Mercenary Group was surrounded by soldiers and a bustling sound of coming from that location. The heart of Long Yi throbbed and he thought that Tyrant Bear and others had a conflict with the soldiers here.

And after approaching a little, Long Yi discovered that the fact was not like he had thought. The eyes of these on-looking soldiers were emitting green light, and while drooling, they had a lewd expression on their face.

Long Yi looked over, and discovered that Tyrant Bear was leading Tyrannical Bear Mercenary Group to train in a formation. And at that time, Long Yi knew why the training ground of Tyrannical Bear Mercenary Group had so many on-looking soldiers. That was naturally because of women ah, there were women fighters and also women magicians, moreover, their looks were somewhat not bad. These young kids that were being held inside the military camp to train every day naturally had excessive yang qi, and looking at them now, all of them looked just like male animals. And to see these women training inside the military camp, immediately upon finishing their training, they ran over with a brazen-face.

It seems he needs to find a way to settle the physical needs of these soldiers ah. Long Yi laughed up his sleeves as he thought in his heart.

"All of these damnable kids, why are you all standing here? Quickly roll out." A violent shout suddenly resounded, then these known as Violent Dragon Empire's most elite soldiers immediately dispersed.

Long Yi slightly turned, and saw a group of soldiers in a suit of armor from head to toe. He knew they were the pickets inside the army and their strength was very strong. From general to lower level soldiers, whoever saw them, they wouldn't dare to show temper in front of them.

Just then, the leader of that group was also looking towards Long Yi with a familiar disdain gaze. Suddenly, the pupils of Long Yi shrunk, he recalled that this person was the same person who had freed him from Forbidden Heaven Prison at that time. And that disdain gaze of him at that time was something he could never forget.

Tyrant Bear also saw Long Yi, then giving the order to stop training, he led several hundred people, walking over to Long Yi.

"Subordinate Tyrant Bear greets Young Master." Tyrant Bear bowed and said.

"We greet Young Master." Several hundred people behind him also greeted him in respect.

Long Yi waved his hand and then said with a smile: "You all can continue, I came here to greet my old friend."

After saying that, Long Yi walked over to those pickets, then standing in front of that leader, he said with a smile: "We can count as old friends, right?"

The eyes of that leader flashed with a hint of surprise, then coldly snorting, he turned around and walked away, clearly didn't want or he disdained to speak even a word with Long Yi.

Long Yi frowned, then walking forward, he reached out his hand to pat his shoulder.

That leader was dressed in heavy armor, but he was quite agile. He instantly dodged the hand of Long Yi, then he slashed with a blade flashing with pallid light towards the hand of Long Yi. His speed was incomparably fast, and his attack wasn't sloppy. If this was a battlefield, then this person could be a highly efficient killing machine.

But Long Yi didn't retract his hand, rather move his finger forward as fast as lightning towards the blade. Then with a clang sound, the slashing blade collided with the hand of Long Yi.

The body of this pricket leader shook, and he was forced to take two steps back, feeling his blade holding hand endlessly numb, and his hand also began trembling slightly. Only at this moment, he squarely faced this youth before him. This good-for-nothing silkpants of two years ago now unexpectedly was able to force him to retreat with one move of his bare hand. Although when attacking he didn't use all of his strength, but this still utterly shocked him.

"Surprised? How about a match?" Long Yi said with a smile.

The eyes of pricket leader turned solemn, then with the blade in his hand, he assumed a fighting stance. This action of his showed his answer.

The rest of prickets and soldiers quickly dispersed, and paid attention to the circumstance here. Seeing Second Young Master Ximen challenging this pricket leader, they got excited to watch the battle. Although the martial arts competition was a common sight in the army, but this level of confrontation was very rare.

Under the close attention of everyone, Long Yi and pricket leader stayed still for few seconds, then with a low roar, leader pricket launched the attack. His blade emitted a trace of faint blue douqi with a smear of blood red. And the bloody killing intent suddenly caused people to feel cold to their bones spread out.

"Phoenix Douqi?" Long Yi was startled in his heart. The douqi used by this pricket leader and Phoenix Douqi was very similar, but it appeared a level higher than Phoenix Douqi, and especially that bloody qi, it was so dense that it almost suffocate people.

Long Yi dodged as if wind, dazzling people. All the attacks of pricket leader failed to land on Long Yi, and was not even able to touch the cloth of Long Yi.

But the attacks of that pricket leader became more and more vigorous, and Long Yi however became more and more surprised. The adaptability of this fellow was truly amazing, he was unexpectedly able to pick out the regular pattern of the footwork of Long Yi, and quite a few time nearly landed a hit on Long Yi.

After observing for a little while, Long Yi was sure that the douqi of this pricket leader and Phoenix Douqi possessed some kind of relation. He recalled that Phoenix Douqi was originated thousands of years ago in Flame Mountain Villa, so could it be that this pricket leader was also the descendant of Flame Mountain Villa?

Long Yi also began to counterattack, he took out a huge sword, then used Violent Dragon Douqi. Violent Dragon against Phoenix, who was strong and who was weak?

The result was already destined, Long Yi didn't even need to use other skill, only relying on his Great Swords Master strength, pricket leader who was only Swords Master was absolutely not his opponent.

The deep blue dragon-shaped sword qi roared towards the pricket leader. Then the violent qi forced onlookers to repeatedly retreat.

But to the surprise of Long Yi, this pricket leader wasn't blown away like he had thought. Although was somewhat in tough straits, but still survived.

Long Yi raised his eyebrows, then a smiled which seemed to have profound meaning. Then with dark blue sword light, he said: "Look at my Violent Dragon 18 Successive Slashes."

Long Yi began to brandish his huge sword, and slashed 18 times in the empty air in the different postures, then a deep blue dragon suddenly formed in the air. After that, as fast as lightning, it charged towards pricket leader. All the onlookers were shocked simultaneously, this was the legendary Violent Dragon 18 Successive Slashes. The move that terror-stricken enemies in those years unexpectedly appeared once again. Violent Dragon 18 Successive Slashes was not a move that could be used by all Great Swords Master, they had to have extreme control over their douqi to use this move. And in Ximen clan, only the previous patriarch i.e. grandfather of Ximen Yu was able to use this move.

With a bang sound, picket leader was send flying and again fell to the ground with a bang. And only after a good while, he struggled to stand up. And after he had just stood up, that helmet that revealed only his eyes suddenly cracked, then disintegrated. This moment, everyone was silent, and it seemed even wind stopped its movement.

Chapter 224: Scheme

Seeing the appearance of picket leader after the helmet disintegrated, Long Yi was startled.

Completely barren bald head, long and narrow red phoenix eyes, bushy brows, moreover that slanted scar from a knife cut on his face, all of them were very familiar, truly were very familiar. Long Yi mumbled in his heart. Then suddenly as if lightning struck his mind, the complexion of Long Yi instantly changed. This appearance resembled with someone whom he knew in his previous incarnation.

"You won, Second Young Master Ximen." Picket leader also stared at Long Yi for a long time in a daze, then slowly said. This kid truly surprised him greatly, in this extremely short period of time of two years or so, from Intermediate Fighter, he reached Great Swords Master realm which countless people couldn't reach throughout their life. This kind of progressing speed was simply abnormal.

Long Yi also came back to his senses, then walking to the front of picket leader, he lightly said with a smile: "Just now, if you had used your full power, then you should have withstood my Violent Dragon 18 Successive Slashes."

"What does Second Young Master Ximen mean?" Picket leader slightly trembled but maintaining his composure, he asked a question in reply.

"What do I mean, do I need to make it clear? If I guessed correctly, then you should be at least Great Swords Master, as for why you are hiding your strength, I have no interest in it." Long Yi smiled and said in a voice which only they two could hear.

The eyes of picket leader flashed, then looking at this seemingly careless youth in front of him, he sighed: "Second Young Master Ximen, you've really changed, becoming unfathomable. Now I really doubt whether you are real Ximen Yu or not."

Long Yi smiled triumphantly. From his words, it was obvious that he had admitted Long Yi was right. In other words, he was concealing his strength when fighting with Long Yi.

"Heh heh, don't worship me too much, I merely encountered somewhat peculiar opportunity, that's all. By the way, I still don't know how to address you, brother."

"I am Chou Fu, leader of the first squadron of Violent Dragon legion's picket battalion." Chou Fu said.

"Chou Fu? This type of mentality is no good." Long Yi smirked and said. [T.L: Chou=hate, Fu=again/repeatedly, but the 'Fu' used by Long Yi meant rich/wealth]

"It's Fu of Huifu (regain), not Fu of Fuyoude (wealthy)." Chou Fu somewhat awkwardly said.

"Chou Fu, Chuo Fu, if this is reversed, then isn't that revenge (fuchou)? Really is a good name." Long Yi smiled and patted the shoulder of Chou Fu.

The eyes of Chou Fu flashed with somewhat strange light, then looking to another side, he no longer spoke.

"This younger brother has a question, seeing your douqi, it appeared rather similar to the Phoenix Douqi of Phoenix clan, could it be..."

"There is not even the slightest bit of connection between my clan and phoenix clan." Before Long Yi could finish speaking, Chou Fu interrupted him.

Answering so quickly, it smells fishy. Long Yi thought in his heart.

"I still have military affairs that need to be dealt with, so I am leaving first." Chou Fu turned around and left.

Long Yi became lost in thought looking at the disappearing back view of Chou Fu.

After that, the on-looking soldiers also dispersed gradually, then the battle between Second Young Master Ximen and Chuo Fu instantly spread throughout the military camp. And then, the image of Second Young Master Ximen inside the military camp completely changed. In a sense, Violent Dragon Legion could be regarded as the private army of Ximen clan. They take the grain from the state, but didn't pledge loyalty to Emperor Long Zhan. And here Long Yi used Violent Dragon 18 Successive Slashed which was considered as a legend within Violent Dragon Legion to defeat Chuo Fu, seeing this kind of strength, how could the soldiers not admire him?

Long Yi led Xiao Yi and Barbarian Bull to the campsite of Tyrannical Bear Mercenary Group, then called out Tyrant Bear and his two vice leader for discussion.

Long Yi sat on the seat of honor. Xiao Yi stood behind him while massaging his shoulders, and she would often serve him tea. He was seriously enjoying this treatment to the extreme.

"Now that you have entered the military camp, you all can be regarded as soldiers, so comparing your previous training with real military training, it would be far harder. I will lay out your training plan in two days. You all need to train harder as well as also need to train in an effective manner." Long Yi slowly opened his mouth, and showed a smile that made people restless.

"Young Master, will we enter the battlefield in the future?" Tyrant Bear excitedly asked staring at Long Yi.

"Want to enter the battlefield? You will have plenty of opportunity in the future, but I fear you will have to kill until your hands go limp with exhaustion at that time." Long Yi smirked and said.

"Hands go limp with exhaustion? I, Tyrant Bear, the more I kill, the stronger I become, so no matter how many I have to kill, I will keep on killing until blood flows like a river." Tyrant Bear patted his chest and said emitting dense bloody aura from his body.

Long Yi frowned, how come he hadn't sensed this kind of bloody aura from him before? Was this actually a good thing or bad thing?

"You all, order all the people under your leadership to train properly, and after some days, I will come and lead this army. Hereafter, don't joke around." Long Yi hit the table and said.

And at that time, Long Zhan had just finished the morning court and was gloomily waking back and forth inside his imperial study. Suddenly, he stopped, then slammed the desk, and that that desk silently disintegrated into powder. After that, he ferociously said: "Ximen clan, Dongfang clan and Nangong clan, there will come a day when I will uproot you all, and slaughter your entire clan."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be so angry, let them temporarily be complacent for a little while, and when the time comes, Your Majesty can level all of them to the ground." A feminine voice resounded within the room, then a faint shadow became visible in one corner of this study.

"Military Advisor, I truly cannot swallow this anymore. Ximen Nu, that old fox is increasingly looking down on me. Today, before I agree, he made Ximen Yu, that brat the deputy general without my permission and asked me to assign 15000 cavalry soldiers to him, really outrageous." Long Zhan angrily kicked the chair, breaking it into pieces.

"Your Majesty, no need to be angry, isn't this a good opportunity, he wants cavalry, then we will give it to him including our secret spies. Then we can monitor and control every action of Ximen Yu at any time, wouldn't this be better?" That shadow called Military Advisor faintly said.

"Military Advisor, Ximen Yu that brat is already no longer that ignorant and incompetent silkpants of two years ago, it wouldn't go as smoothly as we think. If I had known that he would become like this earlier, then I would have made a prompt decision and take his dog life at that time, then today, he wouldn't have become a variable." Long Zhan sighed.

"We can try to control him, but if we can't control him, then we will use those spies to kill him instead. Even if his strength rose, there inevitably be the time when he will become careless." Military Advisor sinisterly said.

"There is only this way left, I will arrange this matter as quickly as possible." Long Zhan nodded his head and said. Suddenly, his eyes landed on that pile of scraps, and from there, he picked up a fragment of painting. It was a painting of a little girl who looked as if an angel, was precisely his treasured daughter, Long Ling'er.

Long Zhan intricately looking at the painting of her daughter, she truly looked just like her mother, merely why? Why did you fall in love with the people of Ximen clan? Could it be that you also want to forsake me? Long Zhan thought in agony in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, little princess has always been intelligent, moreover she is soft outside but hard inside. Her action might be enduring humiliation in order to carry out an important mission, and in the final moment, give Ximen Yu a fatal blow. Just think, how can someone fall in love with the man that defiled her?" Seeing the expression of Long Zhan that looked as if roundworm was inside his stomach, Military Advisor understood what he was thinking.

"Ai, I hope so." Long Zhan sighed. He indistinctly felt that that was not the case.

"Military Advisor, now the circumstance is already not optimistic. Three major clans have already formed an alliance, should we dispatch our dark pieces or not?" Long Zhan shook off the thoughts that vexed him and asked that shadow.

"Jie jie jie, now is the time, the time is right, geographical and social conditions are favorable, indeed, we should move those dark pieces." Military Advisor strangely laughed and said.

After that, Long Zhan turned around, then lifting a piece of a curtain of a wall, he revealed a military map hanging on the wall. This map consisted the detail distribution of military troops as well as a number of hidden routes of the military.

Violent Dragon Empire altogether had three million soldiers, and directly under his control was merely 800,000. Among them, 200,000 were imperial guards and the remaining 600,000 were Divine Eagle Legion and Fierce Tiger Legion. Ximen clan controlled Violent Dragon Legion's 300,000, and the number of their private soldiers were unknown, currently estimated to be more than 100,000. The soldiers controlled by Nangong clan and Dongfang clan could be added up to roughly 200,000. And the remaining soldiers were dispersed to various regions as well as under the leadership of various generals.

Looking at the military power under his direct control, Long Zhan knew that he still had a very big advantage against Ximen clan, but the problem was, if Ximen clan plot a rebellion, then the initial battle will happen only in Soaring Dragon City and at that time, his superior force basically couldn't come out. He basically couldn't recall all the military forces from the entire empire to Soaring Dragon City to avoid this civil war, otherwise, the foreign powers would swallow up the Violent Dragon Empire.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Long clan is the direct descent of Violent Dragon Empire, and is in line with the public will, so as long as Your Majesty don't lose the support of the people, Ximen Nu will not dare to act rashly. Your Majesty, now you only need to divide and demoralize them from inside." Military Advisor indifferently said, then laughed strangely again as if that speaker and the laughing person were two different people.

Long Zhan was obviously accustomed to this kind of behavior of Military Advisor, so without being surprise, he asked: "Other than moving dark pieces, is there other means, Military Advisor?"

"Jie jie jie, although the return of Ximen Yu increased the variable, but it in fact also brought us an unexpected benefit." Military Advisor strangely laughed and said.

"Oh, and what is that benefit?" Long Zhan asked eagerly.

"Everybody knows that Ximen Nu has always been partial to Ximen Yu, presumably even Ximen Tian absolutely knows this. But Ximen Tian is a man with wild ambition, and he is bent on obtaining the patriarch seat of Ximen clan, so as long as we incite him a bit, the brothers will harm themselves. Wouldn't that be convenient?" Military Advisor said and laughed.

The eyes of Long Zhan shone, then clapping his hand, he laughed and said: "This plan is very wonderful, it'd be best if both sides suffer, and at that time Ximen clan will be in chaos, then it will be much easier to make our move."

Military Advisor strangely laughed, then his shadow began to slowly disperse. And at the last moment, before he disappeared, he thought aloud: "If you can make one side change the sides, then that would be even better."

Long Zhan began to ponder, then the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, finally he laughed wildly, but his eyes were not smiling, instead were flashing with ruthlessness, appeared very strange.

Chapter 225: Intruder, Liu Qing's love injury

Long Yi stayed inside the military camp from morning to dusk, and was able to personally experience the taste of the food prepared in a large canteen cauldron. Because the training of soldiers in Violent Dragon Legion was very strenuous, the meal was also pretty good with the right proportion of meat and vegetable. And after the meal, there furthermore were fruits to gnaw. Of course, Long Yi wasn't picky eater, so he enjoyed these the meal and felt that they were delicious.

Dusk was thickening, and the glittering sun was struggling on the western horizon, as if it was unwilling to sink in. At this time, Long Yi walked out of the military camp. Now he had a general understanding of Violent Dragon Legion. Although Violent Dragon Legion was known as the most elite legion of Violent Dragon Empire, he had some reservation in his heart before, but now he couldn't help but admit that this legion was absolutely strong and tough elite legion, and especially its Bloody Cavalry Regiment, it fully deserves to be called elites among the elites.

In the previous life, Long Yi had some basic understanding of cavalry, but in reality, he however had never come into contact with cavalry, because at that time, cavalries had already died out long ago. But this afternoon, in the military camp, he was able to see the battle drill of Bloody Cavalry Regiment. That bloody aura filling the entire sky and covering the land, earth-shaking momentum when they attacked and that earth-shaking roar, seeing all these, the appearance of Long Yi could be described with two words, that was too shocked.

Cavalry, in this kind of cold weapon era, was absolutely irreplaceable existences. They could easily tear apart the defense of enemy, and these thousands upon thousands of men and horses would go to and fro as if wind. Naturally, when the two armies fought, there definitely should be a defensive measure to deal with cavalry, such as the long-range attack of magicians.

Long Yi was thinking while walking, and unconsciously had already reached Ximen mansion.

Just when he stepped into the hall, Long Yi saw Dongfang Wan was chatting with a familiar spirited old man with grey hair.

"Yu'er, still not paying respect to your grandfather." Seeing Long Yi come, Dongfang Wan said with a smile.

Long Yi instantly recalled who this person was, he was the current patriarch of Dongfang clan, Dongfang Qimeng, i.e. maternal grandfather of Ximen Yu, and of course, he had already changed into his maternal grandfather now.

"Yu'er greets grandfather. Grandfather is getting younger and younger." Long Yi walked over to the front of Dongfang Qiming and said with a smile. There wasn't the slightest bit of unnaturalness on his appearance. In the memory of Long Yi, Ximen Yu was extremely doted by Dongfang Qiming, but Ximen Yu however had never shown any respect towards him.

"Is that so? This dumb idiot, he is becoming a sweet talker." Dongfang Qiming laughed out loud and stood up, then patted the shoulders of Long Yi with his big hands. And the strength behind this patting entered inside the body of Long Yi.

Long Yi just smiled, and AoTianJue that was protecting his body instinctively countered this power.

Dongfang Qiming hands became numb due to this counter of Long Yi, but he wasn't angry, instead became very happy. He smiled and said: "Good, good, when your mother told me that you have progressed greatly, I didn't believe it. But now, I can't not believe. Tell me honestly, which realm are you now?"

Long Yi waved his hand in the empty air, and few dark blue douqi appeared in the air, and immediately disappeared without a trace again. But the fruit placed on the table however was neatly sliced into four pieces.

Dongfang Qiming blankly looked at Long Yi for a long time, then muttered: "You are actually Great Swords Master. You dumb idiot, how old are you?"

"Grandfather, are you satisfied with my realm?" Long Yi smirked and said. Great Swords Master could be regarded as nothing, if he told him that he still was Mage of several elements, then will he lose consciousness?

"Satisfied, very satisfied, I say, how could I, Dongfang Qiming's grandson be a big good-for-nothing?" Dongfang Qiming said being very excited.

Long Yi just smiled hollowly while muttering in his heart. Your that grandson is truly a uncompromisingly big good-for-nothing, and now, he has already vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Yu'er, come to your grandfather house, your cousin has just returned, and she is always talking about you." Dongfang Qiming rubbed his white beard on his lower jaw and said with a smile.

"Cousin? Who is it?" Long Yi was dumbfounded, he truly was unable to recall who this cousin was.

"Kexin, daughter of your uncle. When you were small, you heroically saved her once, and from that time, Kexin always says that if it isn't you then she will not marry." Dongfang Wan said with a smile.

"Dongfang Kexin, Saintess of Light Church? Didn't she go with the Pope of Light Church from her childhood? When did I see her?" Long Yi asked in surprise. There was no such story in his memory.

"That had happened when you two were very young, so you might have forgotten about it. At that time, Kexin had yet to go away with the Pope of Light Church." Dongfang Wan said.

Long Yi crooked his head and tried to recall. After listening to Dongfang Wan, he seemed to recall vaguely, but he was unable to make out anything.

"It's okay even if you are unable to recall, wait until you see Kexin, perhaps you might recall at that time. Now Kexin has become as beautiful as an angel, I'm afraid you stupid boy will instantly be infatuated with her." Dongfang Wan smiled and said.

I will be infatuated, what a joke! Which one among the women beside me isn't devastatingly beautiful? Moreover, beauty isn't the most important thing. Long Yi thought in his heart, but on the surface, he just smiled without uttering a single word.

The sky quickly darkened, and after eating the meal, Dongfang Qiming left. But before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Long Yi to come over to Dongfang mansion.

Long Yi returned to his courtyard, and saw Li Qing was standing in the courtyard as if a statue, looking up towards the sky.

"Barbarian Bull, Xiao Yi, go to rest." Long Yi instructed the two who were closing following after him.

"Yes, Young Master." Both of them answered, then went to their respective room.

As for Long Yi, he jumped to the roof, then pointing beside him, he said to Li Qing: "Li Qing, come and sit here. This place was comfortable to see the stars."

Li Qing also jumped onto the roof and sat beside Long Yi.

"Is there something weighing your mind?" Long Yi faintly asked.

Li Qing was startled but answered: "Yes, Young Master."

"Is it bitterness of love?" Long Yi raised his eyebrows and asked. In the eyes of Li Qing, he could see grief.

Li Qing silently nodded his head.

Looking at the Lin Qing's that grim appearance watching the silver moon hanging in the sky, and also sensing that infatuated aura hanging on his body, Long Yi could understand what was going on even using his belly button. And after a while, he said: "You don't have to say, let me guess, it should be like this. There was a cool man who dearly loved a woman. He was not good at expressing his feeling, so he chose to stay beside her and silently protect her, dreaming one day she will understand his feelings. But things turned out contrary to his wishes, he basically wasn't in her heart, moreover one day, that cool man discovered that there was another man in the heart of the girl he had loved dearly. So feeling pain and heartbroken, he ran far away from there."

Li Qing looked at Long Yi with wide eyes, and with a shocked expression, he hesitatingly said: "Young Master, how do you know?"

Long Yi smirked and said: "It is written in your eyes, I merely read it out."

Li Qing naturally knew that Long Yi was joking. He thought that Long Yi seemed to have guessed seeing the expression that showed unintentionally in his eyes. Even so, he greatly admired Long Yi.

"Tell me, is that girl very beautiful?" Long Yi hit Li Qing and asked with a smile.

The grim handsome face of Li Qing became red and he said: "Yes, very beautiful, there is no girl in the world that could compare to her."

Long Yi placed his arm on the shoulder of Li Qing and said with a smile: "A devoted man like you is so rare, that girl truly cannot tell good from bad, unexpectedly she didn't see you."

Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "I am not good enough to be worthy of her."

"Who says you aren't worthy of her, I will say now, You, Li Qing is worthy of any woman in this world. The only crucial point is the fate which brings people together, nothing else. Encountering is predetermined by fate, but letting it slip by is a different matter, as long as you make great effort to win over, what is there to regret?" Long Yi loudly said. He never thought that, in this world, there was anyone unworthy of someone, in front of love, everyone was equal.

The eyes of Li Qing shone, immediately afterwards, they dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "It's too late, at the very beginning, if I had... Now she had already fallen in love with someone else, it's already too late."

Long Yi patted the shoulder of Li Qing and said with a smile: "As long as the person whom you love is happy, that's enough. Wasn't your original intention was also to make the girl you love happy? Now that someone else is able to give her happiness, you can just silently bless her."

Li Qing became silent in surprise, and after a long time, he raised his head, and with a relaxed expression, he said feeling grateful: "Thank you, Young Master, yes, as long as she is happy, isn't that enough? Is there any reason for only me to be the person beside her if she is happy?"

Long Yi smiled, he somewhat admired Li Qing. Those words were merely hot air, if the woman he loved was with another man, then he feared he might go insane.

Just then, a trace of faint dark energy fluctuation streak across them, and Long Yi alertly raised his head. Believing in his sharp senses comparable to the wild beast, he knew that that dark energy fluctuation of just now was absolutely not his misconception.

Could it be that it is the people of Dark Church? I fear they have some hidden motives to move like this.

"Is there something wrong, Young Master?" Seeing Long Yi suddenly got alert, Li Qing asked.

"Perhaps, you stay here, I will look around." After speaking, Long Yi jumped and disappeared into the thin air.

Long Yi continuously flashed in the sky of Ximen mansion. He spread open his left palm, and used that blood colored skull mark to detect that faint dark aura. He absolutely didn't think that this intruder was a commonplace expert. This intruder was able to avoid nets above and snares blew of Ximen mansion without alerting anyone, form this he could see that his strength has definitely reached the acme of perfection.

Chapter 226: Sister-in-law has a problem?

When Long Yi tried to sense that trace of dark aura with all his strength, that aura vanished without a trace as if a stone dropped into the sea.

"Strange, can it be that it was just my misconception." Long Yi muttered. This moment, he was inside the courtyard of his big brother Ximen Tian.

And just then, the blood-colored skull mark in his hand slightly vibrated, pointing straight towards the courtyard of Ximen Tian.

The eyes of Long Yi flashed, then retracting his aura, he quietly landed under the eaves. Sensing the dark aura appearing inside the courtyard of Ximen Tian, he was unable not let his imagination run wild. Very quickly, he bypassed the study and arrived beside Ximen Tian's husband and wife's bedroom, then the vibration of the blood skull mark became a little stronger. Suddenly, Long Yi bumped into a layer of obstruction, and the blood colored skull mark suddenly flashed with red light as if it was stimulated. Seeing this, Long Yi knew that this was bad, so he immediately rushed inside. But just after he opened the door, he heard a scream, then sweet-smelling tender body bumped against him.

Long Yi caught this tender body, and at the same time, saw a shadow sinking into darkness. After that, he no longer sensed that trace of dark aura.

"Mother, mother, where are you?" Little Shuxian seemed to be startled awake and began to cry loudly.

Long Yi immediately illuminate the magic lamp, and saw his sister-in-law Liu Shi in only extremely thin underwear in his bosom, moreover, in the state of utter confusion, she revealed more than half of her snow-white breast. Now her face was pale, and a trace of blood was flowing out of her mouth.

This moment, the entire Ximen mansion was startled awake. The guards holding the weapons rushed into the courtyard, and Ximen Tian also appeared at the entrance of his bedroom. And seeing Long Yi, his complexion became ghastly pale, and his eyes revealed fury.

"You beast, you covert even your sister-in-law, I will kill you today." Ximen Tian was about to attack carrying his huge sword.

"Big brother, you are misunderstanding." Long Yi frowned and began to suspect in his heart that this was a trap against him from the very beginning.

"I saw with my own eyes, so where's the misunderstanding, don't talk nonsense and give me your life." Ximen Tian lost his mind, and as if he had gone insane, he attacked Long Yi, and a light blue sword qi cut tables, chairs and wardrobe into four-five pieces.

Long Yi tossed away sister-in-law Liu Shi towards Little Shuxian who was so afraid that she was dumbfounded, then instantly, his big hand caught the hand of Ximen Tian that was holding the sword, making him unable to move.

And as for the guards outside, seeing two brothers were fighting, they didn't dare to enter, rather stopped inside the courtyard. And seeing Long Yi coming out from the room of his sister-in-law just now in the dead of night, they simultaneously thought that Long Yi had evil plans towards his sister-in-law, so he came here in the middle of the night to steal the fragrance, resulting in this current situation.

Just when Ximen Tian was glaring at Long Yi with extremely big eyes, Ximen Nu and Dongfang Wan rushed over. Then Ximen Nu shouted on the spot: "All of you, stop."

Long Yi loosened his hand and retreated to one side, Ximen Tian threw the sword on the ground, then pointing towards Long Yi, he angrily said: "Father, this worse than a beast bastard actually used force towards his own sister-in-law, moreover, he also hurt her."

Looking over to Liu Shi with a trace of blood on her mouth who was currently covered in a quilt, Ximen Nu turned his head towards Long Yi and asked in a lowered voice: "Yu'er, explain me, what the hell is going on here?"

"Father, I was just looking at the moon from the roof of my courtyard, and at that time, I saw a shadow secretly coming in, so I stealthily followed it, and the end result was, that shadow entered the room of big brother….."

"What a nonsense, Ximen mansion is tightly guarded, how could outsider secretly enter as they please?" Not waiting for Long Yi to finish speaking, Ximen Tian interrupted.

"Big brother, didn't you arrange many hidden lookouts outside your courtyard? But I was still able to come in." Long Yi leisurely said.

"Yu'er, continue." Ximen Nu's complexion changed slightly.

"That shadow had laid out an unusual hidden barrier outside the room. I ran into it and was discovered, so I rushed in, only to see sister-in-law being thrown out. Then that shadow disappeared in the thin air." Long Yi said,

"Father, this is obviously a lie. How could a person disappear in a thin air? Clearly, second brother is lying." Ximen Tian clearly didn't believe the words of Long Yi.

Dongfang Wan walked over to the bedside, and ignoring Little Shuxian who didn't dare to cry even though she was afraid, she coldly said towards Liu Shi: "You say, are the words of Yu'er true or not, if there is even half a lie, then I will not spare you."

Liu Shi who was shedding tears with her head lowered, answer: "I also don't know what's going on here, at that time, when I was sleeping, I was slapped all of a sudden, then was thrown out. After that someone caught me. And after the light was illuminated, I saw the person who caught me was brother-in-law."

"Well, that said, Yu'er is speaking the truth." Dongfang Wan revealed a smile and said.

Ximen Tian coldly snorted and said: "If that shadow could really disappear in the thin air just like second brother had stated, then how did he sense the whereabouts of that shadow?"

Ximen Nu and Dongfang Wan looked towards Long Yi, hoping he could explain clearly.

"Very simple, because when he was moving, his body emitted a trace of faint dark aura, and unfortunately for them, I happen to be very sensitive towards dark aura, so I sensed him." Long Yi shrugged his shoulder.

"Dark aura? Could it be that he is from Dark Church? Why did he sneak into the room of Tian'er? Could it be that he wanted to assassinate Tian'er?" The complexion of Ximen Nu changed and speak out his conjecture.

Ximen Tian nevertheless was bent on opposing Long Yi, and he said: "Second brother, you say, there are many experts within Ximen mansion, but none of them sensed any dark aura, but why was it only you who sensed it?"

Long Yi rolled his eyes, this big brother of his seemed to be intentionally making it difficult for him. His figure flashed, and suddenly disappearing into the thin air, he had silently appeared before Ximen Tian and was holding his throat in an instant, then he coldly said: "Because of my strength, is that explanation enough for you, my dear big brother?"

Then ice-cold bloody killing intent suddenly seeped into the bones of Ximen Tian, causing the fine hairs all over his body to instantly stand erect, and even his bold seemed to be frozen.

In an instant, Long Yi retracted his killing intent, then retreating, he again showed a leisurely smile.

And as for Ximen Tian, he took a deep breath, as the killing intent of Long Yi had made him unable to breathe. Because he wasn't in the military camp, he didn't know the matter of Long Yi using Violent Dragon 18 Successive Slashes to defeat Chou Fu. And he simply didn't dare to believe that this Ximen Yu who was only Intermediate Fighter two years ago now had such terrifying strength. And at this moment, he felt that, in front of Long Yi, he was merely an ant, and Long Yi could crush him to pieces as easily as blowing dust.

Immediately after Long Yi returned to his courtyard, Barbarian Bull and Xiao Yi who was similarly startled awake hurriedly asked him about what had happened.

And Long Yi explained the matter that had happened just a moment ago, then asked: "Xiao Yi, Li Qing, what do you think about this matter?" As for Barbarian Bull, he couldn't count on this blockhead.

Xiao Yi and Li Qing pondered, while Barbarian Bull was scratching his ox horn, standing at one side.

"Perhaps that shadow had come to assassinate Ximen Tian, but he was not there. And at that time, he noticed Young Master, so he threw asleep Liu Hong to escape." Li Qing said. His words were similar to the speculation of Ximen Nu.

Xiao Yi with closed eyes shook her head and said: "That shouldn't be the case, if his aim was assassination, then why did that shadow laid out an alerting barrier? Assassination should be done quickly, and after success, quickly retreat. For him to lay down the barrier, I have two possibilities."

"Oh, what are those two possibilities?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

"First, the shadow covert the beauty of Liu Shi, so he wanted to soil her. Second, Liu Shi has a problem, she is colluding with the shadow to conspire something." Xiao Yi slowly said.

Long Yi nodded his head, this analysis of Xiao Yi and his thoughts were similar.

"If I have to guess then I think the first possibility is very less likely, but the probability of latter is relatively big." Xiao Yi continued.

Long Yi smiled and patting the head of Xiao Yi, he said: "Really smart, I also think so, merely this sister-in-law can also be counted as the offspring of a good family. I also didn't sense any douqi or magic fluctuation from her body, moreover, if she really has a problem, then why did she come to Ximen clan?"

"Young Master, does your sister-in-law usually involve herself in the affairs of Ximen clan?" Li Qing asked.

Long Yi shook his head and said: "Ximen clan has always been patriarchal, and women are just concerned with family affairs, they cannot intervene in the matters of the clan."

"So that means, she absolutely cannot affect the important matters of Ximen clan?" Li Qing asked again.

"That is not necessarily the case, as long as she can lead Young Master's big brother Ximen Tian by the nose, can't she influence in the important matters of Ximen clan? And in the future, if Ximen Tian became patriarch, then wouldn't Ximen clan be under the control of her hand?" Xiao Yi said.

Thinking about this probability, the complexion of Long Yi couldn't help but changed a little. Why was Ximen Tian insisting on not taking concubine? Could it be that he was really being controlled by Liu Shi? Could it be that Liu Shi was a chess piece of emperor placed inside Ximen clan, intending to control Ximen clan?

Liu Shi, don't let me obtain the evidence, otherwise, I will make you experience death is better than life. Cold killing intent flashed in the eyes of Long Yi.

Early in the next morning, in the dining room, Liu Shi expressed her thanks to Long Yi: "Thank you for yesterday, brother-in-law, if it was not for brother-in-law rushing in, I don't know what would have happened."

Long Yi also maintain his composure and said few perfunctory words. When a person began to suspect another people, all the action of that another person appeared hypocritical, and also appeared to be scheming. This moment, Long Yi was having this kind of feeling towards his sister-in-law Liu Shi.

After he ate the breakfast, Dongfang Wan urged him to visit Dongfang clan to see his cousin Dongfang Kexin. But at that time, they suddenly received the report that Nangong clan's Third Miss Nangong Xiangyun had come looking for the Second Young Master Ximen.

"Mother, now you say, where should I go?" Long Yi smiled and asked Dongfang Wan.

Dongfang Wan thought for a little bit, and said: "How about you go to your grandfather house together with Nangong Xiangyun?"

"Mother, aren't you being a little too greedy?" Long Yi made a wry smile and said.

Dongfang Wan smiled and said: "Then you decide, mother cannot control you any longer. As long as you can give me this daughter-in-law its fine, otherwise see how I will teach you a lesson."

Chapter 227: Nangong Xiangyun's conditions

Long Yi made a bitter face, in his heart, he would rather go to meet that said to be as beautiful as an angel, moreover, had never forgotten him, little cousin. Nangong Xiangyun looking for him at this time was definitely for nothing good, so he was unwilling to face her that sour face which appeared as if he owed her ten million amethyst coins.

But unwilling was unwilling, and as Her Excellency mother had already commanded, he had no choice but to go and see that girl.

Coming to the hall, Nangong Xiangyun's attire greatly surprised Long Yi. Now her head was full of small braids, and her ears were full of dazzling ear ornaments. Today she didn't wear the skirt of wise and virtuous women of last time, rather wore red and black swordswomen outfit. And finally, with a proud and untamed expression on her face, she looked just like a bad girl of his previous life. But to be honest, compared to the stereotyped attire of all Miss nowadays, current Nangong Xiangyun appeared very unique.

"Yo, where did this wild girl come from?" Long Yi smirked and walked over, but his eyes were continuously scanning the curvy body of Nangong Xiangyun.

Nangong Xiangyun snorted, then glaring at Long Yi, she said: "You are the wild monkey, hairless wild monkey."

"I am hairless? How do you know? Can it be that you peeped me when I was bathing? Or, is your hair as dense as a forest? How about we make a comparison?" Long Yi smirked and said, but his eyes were ambiguously staring at the place between the legs of Nangong Xiangyun. Like that, even an idiot would understand the meaning of his vague words.

Nangong Xiangyun became so angry that her entire body trembled. Now she discovered that looking for this fellow was very unwise matter, even before they exchanged few words, her lungs were already about to burst with rage.

"You damned pervert, why don't you drop dead?" Nangong Xiangyun got flustered, then angrily cursed in shame.

"I also want to drop dead very much, but Yama, that old bastard fears that if I come there, then I will snatch his Boss position, so how can he bring me there? Heh heh, besides, if I die, wouldn't you become a widow?" Long Yi loved seeing Nangong Xiangyun getting angry. For him, this was a way to pass his time.

Nangong Xiangyun took deep breathe, to calm herself down. She truly wanted to pull out her sword, and cut off his tongue, then kicking him to the ground, beat the crap out of him. But she knew that she could only imagine this, as she clearly understood that she was not his opponent.

"I am not in the mood to argue with you for the sake of arguing, it justs a waste of my saliva. Today, I came here to discuss something with you." Nangong Xiangyun gnashed her teeth and said. She was already doing her best to forcibly calm her mind.

"Discuss? There are many people here, how about we go to my room, then sitting on the bed, we can leisurely discuss. Such atmosphere should be comparatively…mhm, relaxed." Long Yi sat on the sofa, and leisurely sipping the tea, he said to Nangong Xiangyun with a smile.

"You…shameless." Nangong Xiangyun who had just calmed down flared up again. Talking with this fellow had reduced no less than ten years of her life.

"Toothless? How can that be? My teeth are very good. Still white and shining, moreover there are no dental cavities." Long Yi opened his mouth showing his two rows of shiny teeth. [T.L: In Chinese, shameless is Wúchǐ (无耻), and toothless/no tooth is also Wú chǐ (无齿)]

"Ximen Yu, you big jerk, rotten egg." Nangong Xiangyun simply went insane, then pouncing onto Long Yi, she ferociously bit the shoulder of Long Yi. She truly had lost her reasoning due to anger.

Long Yi was stunned seeing Nangong Xiangyun biting and scratching after pouncing onto him. Did he make this girl so angry that she went insane?

"Yu'er, what's going on? Eh…you….." Hearing the noise inside the hall, Dongfang Wan rushed in, and immediately upon coming in, she was instantly dumfounded seeing Nangong Xiangyun pushing down Long Yi.

Hearing the voice of Dongfang Wan, Nangong Xiangyun sobered up a little, then turning her head, she saw the blank expression of Dangfang Wan, and again turning back her head, she saw Long Yi close at hand, finally understanding the action of herself and Long Yi was very ambiguous. She immediately screamed, then jumping down from Long Yi, she urgently said to Dongfang Wan: "Auntie, that is not the case, you are misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Auntie isn't misunderstanding, you two can continue." Dongfang Wan walked out with all smiles. And very quickly, someone closed the door of the hall.

Nangong Xiangyun and Long Yi looked at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere became rather strange.

"Little girl, you say, in this sort of environment, if we did nothing, then wouldn't that be a waste?" Long Yi smirked and broke the silence with a bad smile, while lecherously staring at Nangong Xiangyun.

"Drop dead." Nangong Xiangyun gnashed her teeth and spat out these two words from her pink lips, then urgently rushed out from the hall.

Long Yi shrugged his shoulders, and also walked out, wanting to go to Dongfang clan to see how beautiful that cousin of his was.

But just after he walked out of the hall, he saw Nangong Xiangyun was standing under a tree and now was thinking something while glaring at him.

"Well, little girl, quickly spit it out, I'm busy." Long Yi smiled and said to Nangong Xiangyun.

Nangong Xiangyun looked all around, and saw not a soul in sight. All the servants had already been sent away by Dongfang Wan naturally to make things convenient for them to act.

After that, Nangong Xiangyun lightly called out to Long Yi: "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Long Yi smiled, he roughly knew what Nangong Xiangyun wanted to discuss with him, it definitely has something to do with their engagement.

"If it is about breaking off the engagement, then it is useless to talk with me, you can look for your father and ask him to talk with the emperor." Before Nangong Xiangyun opened her mouth, Long Yi said with a smile.

"I am looking for you not to break off our engagement, I considered about it yesterday and come to the conclusion that since emperor has already opened his mouth, there is no turning away from this marriage." Nangong Xiangyun stroke the ear ornaments of her right ear and said calmly.

Long Yi raised his eyebrows, the words of Nangong Xiangyun rather surprised Long Yi.

"Then today you come to look me for..." Long Yi curiously asked.

"Let us get married." Nangong Xiangyun suddenly smiled and said.

Eh..., Long Yi was stunned. For no reason, this little girl who was so resistant yesterday was suddenly smiling and agreeing to marry today, this is a scheme, definitely a scheme.

Seeing the stunned appearance of Long Yi, Nangong Xiangyun seemed to be rather proud of herself. Then smiling, she said: "But, I want to discuss the matters of getting married to you."

"What's there to discuss about the matter of getting married, isn't it convening a ceremony, then entering the bridal chamber?" Long Yi said with a smile.

The complexion of Nangong Xiangyun immediately changed, and she snorted in a foul mood: "What I want to discuss with you today is, I can marry you, but I have conditions."

Long Yi smirked and said: "I'm listening."

"First, we will only convene a ceremony, but there will not be a bridal chamber. Second, don't interfere with the other's private life. Third…"

"Wait a minute, you seemed to be considering yourself too highly. If you don't marry, then forget it, but if you marry, then you have to fulfill your duty as a wife." Long Yi interrupted the words of Nangong Xiangyun and said. In fact, he was originally also thinking like that, but seeing Nangong Xiangyun's expression as if she was suffering a great injustice and was making a great sacrifice to marry him, he was unhappy in his heart.

"You, do you think I wish to marry you, you pig's head? If it was not for my family, I would have already run away long ago." Nangong Xiangyun angrily said.

Long Yi curled up his lips and indifferently said: "That is your problem. Now I still have something else to do, be at your convenience." Finished speaking, Long Yi turned around, and walked away. In fact, if Nangong Xiangyun had said properly, then he would have no objection, as in the first place, there was no man and woman sentiment between them, moreover, they had no favorable impression of each other.
