Chapter 4993: Long Tianruis Betrothal Gift
There were six tables in the banquet hall. At the main table, four people were seated, three unfamiliar to Long Chen. However, he saw the Long clan leader among them, so the other three were likely the leaders of the Zhao, Jiang, and Ye clans.
The next four tables were occupied by the top experts of various clans, all emanating heaven vein fluctuations. The Long clans three Heavenly Saints were among them. Unlike the other tables, which each had eight people, the Long clans table had only three. Including the Heaven Overseer with his Earth Saint cultivation base, the Long clans power clearly seemed weaker.
The final table had four people. Long Chen recognized two of them: Jiang Wuwang and Long Tianrui. However, the other two were glaring at Long Chen with sharp, killing-intent-filled gazes, making no effort to conceal their hostility.
The moment Long Chen walked in, everyones gaze shifted to him. Even the chit-chat ceased abruptly, and the atmosphere became a bit tense.
The Heaven Overseer quickly said, Everyone, let me introduce you. This is
From the main table, an elder laughed and interrupted, Theres no need for introductions. Who doesnt know of the High Firmament Academys youngest dean in history? My Jiang clans Feng Fei has been praising him non-stop. To tell the truth, quite a few people were skeptical of her praise. But when Dean Long Chen slaughtered powerful experts upon entering the Sovereign Emperor Heaven, especially forcing back the Celestial race, he successfully showed off his talents and might!
Long Chen hadnt expected the Jiang clans leader to be so friendly toward him. He wondered how much of this friendliness was genuine and how much was calculated, influenced by Feng Feis warning and the leaders intelligence.
Yes, he truly is amazing. We personally saw Dean Long Chen slaughter experts of the Long clan. That might, that domineeringness, hehe, it truly was something to behold, said a white-haired old man, chuckling.
Though the old mans words were praising Long Chen, his expression was one of haughty derision. He was clearly trying to worsen the relationship between Long Chen and the Long clan. As a result, the expressions of the Long clans experts darkened.
So you should be the Zhao clans leader, right? asked Long Chen.
Thats right. Your vision is quite sharp, replied the Zhao clan leader indifferently.
No, my vision is just so-so. Your height just makes it all too obvious, remarked Long Chen.
Now, it was the Zhao clans turn to feel insulted. Amongst the four divine clans, the Zhao clans people were notably shorter. It was a sensitive point for them, and using this matter to mock them was considered a grave taboo.
The Zhao clan leader hadnt expected Long Chen to be so brazen as to directly insult him. With a dark expression, he asked, Are you looking down on me?
If you were any shorter, instead of looking down on you, I wouldnt even be able to see you, responded Long Chen.
To the side, Long Qianxue hastily covered her mouth, but she was too slow. A chuckle escaped her despite her efforts.
Despite warning herself to remain serious and not to laugh, no matter how amusing it was, Long Qianxue hadnt expected Long Chen to use this kind of low blow. The atmosphere instantly grew uncomfortably tense, and inwardly, Long Qianxue cursed him.
The Zhao clan leaders expression sank even more, and he coldly turned to the Long clan leader. Is this how you raise your Long clans disciples?
Long Chen responded directly, Bullying juniors, insulting your hostsZhao clans teachings really arent bad.
Although the Long clan leader didnt like Long Chen, the Zhao clan leader had just insulted the entire Long clan. So, Long Chens counterattack caused the Long clan leader to see him in a new light.
Long Chen, mind your status. Do you think you have the right to judge a clan leader? shouted one of the two men beside Jiang Wuwang.
This person was Zhao Qingtian, the Zhao clans top genius, and he was renowned even in ancient times.
In an instant, Long Chens anger flared. If he didnt have a right to judge the clan leader, then what gave that old bastard the right to judge him?
However, they underestimated Long Chens evil nature. Long Chen glanced at Zhao Qingtian and then the Zhao clan leader. After looking back and forth several times, Long Chen gestured that Zhao Qingtian and the Zhao clan leaders heads barely reached his chest. Nodding in comprehension, he sneered, Ah, I see, no wonder youre helping him so obediently! So youre dogs of the same family!
You are courting death! Zhao Qingtian sprang to his feet, ready to attack regardless of the circumstances, but Jiang Wuwang grabbed him.
Youngsters shouldnt be so temperamental. A minor disagreement is quite normal. Theres no need to escalate things like this, advised Jiang Wuwang. Although he didnt have a favorable impression of Long Chen, to fight in this setting was completely unacceptable.
The Heaven Overseer looked visibly angry. In fact, he was angrier than anyone present. These people had asked him to invite Long Chen, knowing full well that Long Chen wouldnt be swayed by anyone elses request.
But now that Long Chen was here, they were intentionally insulting him. Wasnt this also a slap in the Heaven Overseers face? His voice turned cold as he addressed the Zhao clan leader, Zhao clan leader, what do you think youre doing?
The Zhao clan leader appeared somewhat fearful in front of the Heaven Overseer. He hastily explained, Long Chen lacks proper upbringing. Im merely teaching him a lesson. Heaven Overseer, please dont mind me.
Lacks proper upbringing? Long Chens anger soared. Initially, he had thought of merely flipping a table and going, but now he would make them pay dearly.
Did they call him over just to insult him? If they wanted to play games, then Long Chen was ready to play them to death.
Pondering what games to play, Long Chen calmly sat down right beside Long Tianrui. Unexpectedly, Long Tianrui looked at him and said, If you are willing to be my companion, I can use his head as a betrothal gift to you.
In an instant, Zhao Qingtians anger flared, while the others present were left in shock. What was Long Tianrui saying? How could she casually propose something so outrageous?
Ignoring the reactions around her, Long Tianrui kept her gaze fixed on Long Chen, awaiting his response. She didnt seem to be joking at all.
If there were levels of insults, then this would be the rudest. Zhao Qingtian was livid. How could his head be proposed as a betrothal gift?
The atmosphere instantly grew tense, with all eyes fixed on Long Chens table. Yet, Long Chens response defied everyones expectations.
Are you sure you dont have something wrong with your brain?
