Ye Chen, the young man who was rescued by Zhao Long, when he told his origins,
Seeing Zhao Long's unresponsive look, to be honest, he was very hurt.
But soon Zhu Tianhao screamed, which made him breathe a little easier. Finally, someone had heard of the name of their Ye family.
Zhu Tianhao was also surprised. He didn't expect that he and Zhao Long would randomly save someone.
He is actually a member of the Ye family in the imperial capital. Judging from his equipment, his status in the family is probably not low.
"Ye family? What Ye family?" Zhao Long, however, still looked confused.
With his past strength, he would naturally not pay attention to these regional forces.
With his current strength, he cannot come into contact with these forces.
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Zhu Tianhao was speechless and shouted loudly: "You pervert, don't you even know about the Qin family?
The Ye family is one of the three major families in Qin, and is much stronger than our Zhu family in terms of strength.
I've heard about it all, how come you don't know about it at all?
"One of the three major families in Qin?" Zhao Long opened his mouth in slight surprise.
To be honest, the origin of the young man in front of me is really scary.
But so what, he doesn't belong to this area, so naturally he won't care too much.
Ye Chen heard Zhu Tianhao's introduction, and to be honest, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
It's just that after Zhao Long found out, he still looked like he was neither salty nor indifferent, which almost drove him crazy.
After all, they saved him, Qin Feng couldn't be too dissatisfied, he smiled and patted Zhao Long on the shoulder.
"Thank you brothers for saving me. Without you today I would have been in danger."
Let me introduce myself, I am Ye Chen from the Ye family. I don’t know what to call you two? How about making friends if it’s convenient?”
Ye Chen comes from a big family, so when he sees a perverted strongman like Zhao Long, he naturally wants to win over him.
Although Zhu Tianhao is not as strong as him, he is better because of his youth, and he is also a target to win over.
"My name is Zhao Long, and his name is Zhu Tianhao." Zhao Long replied simply.
But after Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhao Long? Which Zhao Long?"
"Are there other Zhao Longs in this world?"
Zhao Long looked over suspiciously and began to wonder. Are there many people with the same name as him on the Continent of Swords?
"Uh?" These words made Ye Chen a little speechless, and he sorted out his thoughts.
Then he asked, "Is it Zhao Long who claims to challenge the entire Imperial Academy?"
If that's what you're talking about, it's indeed me. But there's some misunderstanding here.
I just have some personal grudges with two students, and I agreed to resolve them in three months.
I just didn't expect that they would say this. Zhao Long felt a little regretful when he recalled these things.
If I had known this, I would have killed Zhou Jianhua and the others.
After Ye Chen heard this, his surprised expression quickly disappeared.
But he still looked at Zhao Long in surprise: "I didn't expect you were really that Zhao Long."
Let me take the liberty to ask, what state of cultivation have you reached now?
"He has already reached the second level of Daojun!" Before Zhao Long could reply, Zhu Tianhao suddenly jumped out and said.
"Sword Master Second Heaven?" Ye Chen showed a shocked expression on his face again.
The one who was instantly killed by Zhao Long just now was a true swordsman with first-level cultivation, but such a swordsman had no room for resistance.
Zhao Long is really too young and looks younger than Zhu Tianhao next to him.
But at this young age, he has already reached the second level of Sword Lord.
By the way, when the rumors came out some time ago, I heard that Hai Tian was just a sword master from the ninth level.
It's only been a month, right? Has it already broken through to the second level of Dao Lord?
Ye Chen was speechless. He was twenty-five years old this year and had reached the peak of Sword Master.
His talent can be considered to be in the upper-middle range among his family. But compared with Zhao Long, it is completely far behind.
Not to mention Zhao Long, even Zhu Tianhao next to him is likely to surpass him in the future.
I'm afraid he can't win over such a person, thinking about this.
Ye Chen gave up on this idea in his heart. Instead of blindly wooing him, he might as well make friends.
When he thought of this, Ye Chen was worthy of being from a big family, and the smile returned to his face again.
"Brother Zhao Long, you are really amazing. Thank you very much for your help today."
"You're welcome, these are all easy tasks." Zhao Long smiled calmly.
"I wonder why Brother Ye appears here? There is still quite a distance between Xuecheng and the Imperial Capital, right?"
When Zhao Long said this, the smile on Ye Chen's face completely disappeared, replaced by a look of anger.
"These damn bastards didn't know where they got the news that I was coming to Snow City, and they actually sent people to stop me midway."
"Do you know who sent the man in black to ambush you?" Zhao Long asked doubtfully.
"Who else? The only one who dares to oppose us now is the Zhuge family, another one of the three major families."
I just didn’t expect that they would dare to directly send people to assassinate me, the heir!
Ye Chen was very angry. If Zhao Long hadn't appeared in time, he might have really committed suicide.
After hearing Ye Chen's words, Zhao Long suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Tianhao, who was standing next to him, saw Zhao Long's strange expression and couldn't help but come up to him and ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Zhao Long shook his head and looked at Ye Chen.
"Your coming to Xuecheng is very confidential. Generally speaking, it is difficult for the Zhuge family to know and they would send people to ambush you in advance."
If you say that, then the problem lies with your Ye family.
"You mean there is a traitor?" Ye Chen was not a fool. After Zhao Long reminded him, he immediately understood.
Zhao Long smiled slightly, stopped talking, took Zhu Tianhao and planned to leave.
These battles between big families are not suitable for him, and he does not intend to participate in them.
The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more he felt that what Zhao Long said made sense.
When he raised his head again to ask for advice, he saw that Zhao Long and Zhu Tianhao had already left.
He hurriedly followed: "Brother Zhao Long, wait!"
The shouts from behind made Zhao Long and Zhu Tianhao stop.
When Ye Chen ran over, Zhao Long asked in confusion: "Why, do you have anything else to do?"
"Brother Zhao Long, are you going to the imperial capital? We happen to be on the same road."
Ye Chen is determined to make friends with Zhao Long, regardless of whether Zhao Long is as arrogant as rumored.
But the strength he showed just now was enough for him to make friends.
What's more, he still doesn't know who the family traitor is.
What if the opponent knows that the assassination failed and sends experts again?
He definitely can't handle it alone, but with Zhao Long and Zhu Tianhao, I believe the other party will not take action easily again.
Zhao Long thought for a moment and immediately understood what Ye Chen meant, shook his head and smiled.
Brother Ye Chen, we are not going to the Imperial Capital now. We still want to gain some strength through experience outside.
You also know the trouble I'm causing now. So...?
"So we are going to the Imperial Capital!" Before Zhao Long could finish his words, Zhu Tianhao next to him shouted first.
Zhao Long glared at Zhu Tianhao fiercely. Couldn't this guy see that he wanted to refuse? Why did he take the initiative to join in?
Moreover, if he goes there, he is likely to fall into the maelstrom of family fighting, which he doesn't like.
Zhu Tianhao naturally saw the look in Zhao Long's eyes and said nonchalantly.
"You're here to get some experience. Doesn't going to the imperial capital mean you're getting some experience?"
What's more, the Imperial Academy is in the Imperial Capital, so we need to get the information in advance.
"Yes, there are many ways to increase strength, and they are not just limited to the wild."
Ye Chen also persuaded and said, not to mention that you saved me, I must thank you on behalf of our Ye family.
If you just leave like this, "I'm afraid I will always be in debt to you, and it will be difficult for me to practice in the future."
As the three major families in the Qin Kingdom, the Ye family naturally has no shortage of experts.
Ye Chen has long heard about the cultivation of state of mind, and his words are quite reasonable.
It's just that Zhao Long is a little repelled by the imperial capital. He naturally likes to run to secluded places.
I don't like big cities that are too busy.
If he hadn't gone to the Imperial Academy to settle that matter, he probably wouldn't have entered the Imperial Capital at all.
Seeing that Zhao Long was still hesitating, Zhu Tianhao persuaded again: "We have been out for such a long time."
"If you haven't even been to the Imperial Capital, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if others ask you in the future?"
"Okay, okay, go ahead and go. But let me make it clear in advance that we are just going to Ye's house as guests and don't care about anything else."
Zhao Long couldn't resist Zhu Tianhao, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed, but he still got vaccinated.
Seeing that Zhao Long agreed, Ye Chen was overjoyed and immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are the most distinguished guest of our Ye family, I will definitely welcome you well."
Helpless, Zhao Long and Zhu Tianhao had no choice but to follow Ye Chen directly to the Imperial Capital without wandering around the snow city too much.
Just as the three of them were on their way, the two men in black who failed in their assassination also returned to their master.
Kneeling on one knee, he reported the failure.
"You are saying that two teenagers suddenly rushed out, interrupted you, and killed the third child instantly?"
The leader also wore black clothes and covered his head with a black cloth, leaving only his two eyes exposed.
"Yes, sir, it's not that we are incompetent, it's just that the other party is too powerful.
Especially the younger boy, we couldn't see through each other's strength at all.
I'm afraid the other party is at least above the second level of the Sword King!" One of the men in black replied with a wry smile.
"Teenage Sword King Second Heaven, you have to have a limit when it comes to joking!"
The leader was angry. This was an opportunity they finally got. When Ye Chen left the imperial capital alone, who would have thought that the mission failed!
What's more, the situation reported by the two subordinates who escaped was really exaggerated.
Not to mention the teenage Sword King Second Heaven, even the teenage Sword Lord Second Heaven is pretty good.
Besides, they were three sword kings at the first level, and they were so frightened by two teenagers that they ran away. How unbecoming was this?
"Failed people are not qualified to live in this world. You all should die like Lao San!"
The leader in black showed a fierce look in his eyes, shouted coldly, and suddenly two golden lights flew out from the gaps between his fingers,
It shot directly through the chests of the two men in black kneeling on the ground.
They didn't even have time to struggle, and fell to the ground without any breath of life.
The black-clothed leader who killed two people didn't seem to feel any discomfort and stared at the sky in the distance.
