Long Tianrui is the top expert among the younger generation of the Long family, but her identity seems to be more than just the top expert among the younger generation.
From the fearful expressions of the Long family patriarch and others, it was clear that her status was extremely special. As soon as she spoke, the other clan leaders looked shocked, while the Zhao family patriarch's face showed no anger, only fear.
However, Long Chen's response shocked everyone present once again. Long Chen actually dared to completely ignore Long Tianrui, and it was even more humiliating.
When Long Chen said this, the Zhao family patriarch's face immediately showed a look of schadenfreude. In his guess, Long Tianrui would act immediately, and if she did, no one would be able to save Long Chen.
However, to everyone's surprise, Long Tianrui showed no sign of anger. Instead, she said very seriously, "
My mind is very clear, and I am very serious. I have great faith in your potential. If you agree to be my attendant, and within three years I haven't found a better partner, I will marry you and have children."
"Is dating with the goal of marriage and having children still called love? So how is it different from mating between animals? Long Chen shook his head and said.
Long Tianrui wasn't angry, still expressionless: "If you're not dating with the intention of marriage and having children, how is that any different from being a pervert?" Purely for physical stimulation and spiritual possession. "
I ..."
Long Chen's mouth dropped open, staring at Long Tianrui in disbelief. It seemed that since his debut, this was the first time he had been left speechless in a verbal battle.
After much effort, Long Chen changed the subject and said, "Then marriage and having children should also be based on love, right?" Instead of having children with whoever has the strongest potential, then what's the point of marriage? "
In the world of cultivation, the strong rule. If you don't marry with the strong, the children born will only become stepping stones for others, climbing over walls or ladders, or even reduced to food. So what's the point of marriage?" Just like chickens, does laying eggs mean others can eat them? Long Tianrui retorted.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "It seems you've been sealed away for too long. Maybe your mind hasn't woken up yet. I can't accept your views on love. Now that the Long family is full of prodigies, you can pick any one you want. Can you not go head-to-head with me?" Long
Chen was also impressed by Long Tianrui. This guy seemed to stick to a stubborn principle—unshakable. Most importantly, what she said seemed reasonable, and Long Chen had no choice.
Seeing Long Chen still refusing, Long Tianrui couldn't help but frown. She couldn't understand it either—whether in her own era or now, she didn't know how many people were willing to be her followers.
But this Long Chen was the opposite. Such a good opportunity came his way, yet he kept refusing it, which overturned her understanding.
"Let's get to the point. But let me say in advance: speak your mind, don't make any insinuations, and don't deliberately target anyone." Lord Tiansi spoke.
As soon as he spoke, everyone couldn't help but look at the table where the four clan leaders were. The Long family patriarch said seriously, "
Long Chen, the elite disciples of our four great families are having an internal sparring here. This kind of matter is an internal secret. What I mean is... Hmm, as the head of Lingxiao Academy, you must have a lot to worry about... Long
Chen immediately understood that this group of old fellows had ulterior motives. Lord Tiansi's expression changed when he heard the clan leader's words. Clearly, he had no idea what the clan leader was up to.
"What do you mean? Then should I leave? Long Chen looked at the Long family patriarch and said.
The Long family patriarch hurriedly said, "No, no, no, you've misunderstood. We have no intention of driving you away, because the drill by the four great families is an internal secret."
If you didn't have connections with Lingxiao Academy, you could naturally stay here. You know that—if this was just a matter for our Long family, there'd be nothing to say.
However, this is a grand event jointly held by the four great families—Long, Ye, Jiang, and Zhao—so after discussion, you can take a break for a while. Once it's over, you can ... anytime."
At that moment, Long Tianrui frowned. The Long family was trying to drive Long Chen away and prevent him from attending this four-clan gathering.
Lord Tiansi suddenly stood up: "Clan Leader..."
Long Chen knew that Lord Tiansi definitely didn't know about this. He was about to go against the clan leader, but that wouldn't do. Such a great opportunity—he had to seize it.
"Smack!"
Long Chen slammed the table, stood up, and looked furious. Pointing at the Long family patriarch, he cursed loudly:
"Well, are you trying to seize my Qiankun Cauldron and not return it?" I really didn't expect ..."
As soon as Long Chen spoke, the Long family patriarch's face changed dramatically. He shouted loudly, "
What nonsense are you spouting? We're just saying it's convenient for you to step aside, not that you must leave. Isn't this just negotiating? "
When Long Chen uttered the words "Qiankun Cauldron," the faces of the Long family's experts changed drastically. They never expected Long Chen to dare to reveal the matter of the Qiankun Cauldron. This was a death sentence for the sake of exposure. Had this kid gone mad?
The powerful figures of the three great families also wore expressions of shock. They looked at Long Chen, then at the Long family patriarch, and then at Long Qihua and the others, who had panicked but forced themselves to stay calm. Their hearts skipped a beat.
For a moment, no one in the room spoke. Long Chen hurriedly pretended to say something wrong and hurriedly said,
"I have Long family blood running in my veins, and I'm a member of the Long family. Why can't you let me stay here?"
If you're afraid I'll join the fight and take the reward, that's fine—I'll just watch from the sidelines. Why are you driving me away? Long
Chen spoke with righteous indignation and passion, but the way he tried to cover it up was so obvious that even a fool could see he was deliberately covering up his earlier slip of the tongue.
Lord Tiansi looked at the clan leader, who was visibly frustrated. He wished he could strangle this fool. How could such a thing be said publicly? Was he trying to pressure Long Chen through everyone? Forcing Long Chen to give in? How dumb must it take to come up with such a plan?
Lord Tiansi's gaze swept over Long Qihua and the others. Sure enough, Long Yaoting didn't dare meet his eyes. Clearly, this idea was very likely his idea.
"Forget it, let's discuss this matter a bit more. I'll give you an answer later." The Long family patriarch said helplessly.
"Then I'll wait for your news!" After Long Chen finished speaking, he left with a cold face. As soon as he stepped outside, his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
Previously, Long Chen had racked his brains about what to do, but the other side handed him the opportunity directly. After Long Chen left, the others gradually dispersed, until only the four great family patriarchs remained.
After exchanging a glance with the other family heads, the Jiang family head looked at the Long family head.
"How about we talk about the Qiankun Cauldron instead?"
