Chapter 4994: Then Ill Leave?
Long Tianrui... She was not just the number one expert of the Long clans junior generation; her status extended beyond that.
From the expression of the Long clan leader and the others, Long Chen could tell that her status was special. When she spoke, even the clan leaders were shocked. In particular, the Zhao clan leaders expression of fear was very obvious.
Hence, Long Chens response astonished everyone present. How dare he disregard Long Tianrui, even seeming to insult her?
On the other hand, the Zhao clan leader was delighted by Long Chens audacity. Knowing Long Tianrui, he anticipated she would retaliate immediately. Once she did, he believed no one could save Long Chen.
However, to everyones surprise, Long Tianrui didnt react with anger. She solemnly said, My head is very clear, and I am being very serious. I think highly of your potential, so if you agree to become my follower, then in three years, if I have not found a better partner, I will marry you and have your children.
Shaking his head, Long Chen asked, If your goal is only to have children, what about love? Without it, isnt it no different from breeding like animals?
Long Tianrui calmly replied, If not for the purpose of having children, would it be akin to two rogues playing around? It would purely be for physical and mental stimulation.
You... Long Chens jaw dropped as he stared at Long Tianrui, utterly dumbfounded. He couldnt recall ever being struck speechless like this all his life.
With great difficulty, he came up with a response. Even if it was to have children, it should be built on the foundation of love! Its not about whose potential is greater! What would be the point of marriage then?
Long Chen could only shake his head again and say, It looks like youve been sealed too long. Perhaps your mind hasnt fully woken up yet. I cannot accept your feelings. The Long clan has plenty of heavenly geniuses to choose from. You can pick any one of them. Why be hellbent on me?
Long Chen was amazed by Long Tianruis logic. It seemed that she was steadfast in her principles. Most importantly, her reasoning wasnt wrong, so Long Chen had no way to counter it.
Seeing that Long Chen still rejected her, Long Tianrui frowned. She couldnt understand him either. Whether in her era or this one, countless people would queue to follow her.
However, Long Chen kept refusing. Such a good thing was right in front of him, but he continued to reject it, which caused Long Tianrui to wonder.
We should get back to the important topic. However, let me first say that this isnt the place to insult and target other people, said the Heaven Overseer.
As he spoke, everyone turned their attention to the table of the four clan leaders. The Long clan leader solemnly said, Long Chen, the elite disciples of the four divine clans have gathered here to exchange pointers. This matter is top secret, and Im saying that... well, you are a dean of the High Firmament Academy, so I trust you have many affairs to handle...
Long Chen instantly realized that these old fogeys had no good intentions. The Heaven Overseers expression also changed; he clearly didn’t know what the clan leader was doing.
What do you mean? Are you telling me to scram? demanded Long Chen.
The Long clan leader replied, No, no! You misunderstand. We have no intention of driving you away. The meeting of the four divine clans is an internal secret. If it werent for your connection to the High Firmament Academy, naturally, you could stay. But you understand. If this were solely up to the Long clan, we wouldnt say such a thing, but there are also the Ye, Jiang, and Zhao clans. We have discussed it, and you can temporarily leave and come back when its over...
Long Tianrui frowned. The Long clan was clearly driving Long Chen away, not wanting him to participate in this competition.
The Heaven Overseer stood up. Clan leader...
Long Chen knew that the Heaven Overseer hadnt known of this plan. Was he about to challenge the clan leader? That wouldnt do. Long Chen had to grasp this chance.
Long Chen immediately slammed the table and stood up, looking filled with righteous indignation. He pointed at the Long clan leader and cursed him, Alright, so you want to take advantage of me while I dont have the Heaven Earth Cauldron, is that it?! I really never expected you
The Long clan leader immediately interrupted, What nonsense are you spouting?! We are merely asking if its convenient for you to leave for a while! We didnt say that you had to leave! Arent we discussing it nicely right now?
The Long clans experts expressions changed when they heard Long Chen mention the Heaven Earth Cauldron. They had not expected him to bring it up. Did he not know how dangerous this was?
The other three clans experts were equally startled. They looked from Long Chen to the Long clan leader, then to Long Qihua and the others, all shocked by the turn of events.
A tense silence filled the banquet hall. Long Chen quickly backtracked, acting as though he had misspoken. He said firmly, The blood of the Long clan runs through my veins, so I am a member of the clan. What right do you have to drive me away? If youre afraid of me participating and taking the rewards, fine, Ill just be a spectator. Why should I leave?
Overflowing with righteous indignation, Long Chen looked like he was trying to cover up his earlier slip of the tongue.
The Heaven Overseer felt the urge to throttle the clan leader. How could this dumbass bring up internal matters in front of everyone? Was he trying to use everyones presence to pressure Long Chen? To force him to concede? Which idiot came up with this plan?
The Heaven Overseers gaze swept over Long Qihua and the others. As expected, Long Yaoting didnt even dare to meet his eyes. Clearly, this plan originated from him.
Thats enough. Well discuss this matter again and provide you with a response later, said the Long clan leader helplessly.
Then I await your news! After saying that, Long Chen directly left. However, as soon as he stepped out the door, a wide grin spread across his face.
Before this, Long Chen had been uncertain about his next move, but the other side just had to send this opportunity right to him. After his departure, everyone else started to leave until only the four clan leaders remained.
The Jiang clan leader exchanged a glance with the others before addressing the Long clan leader, Well then. Let us discuss this matter of the Heaven Earth Cauldron!
