Long Chen followed the sound and saw Tang Waner waving to him cordially in the crowd.
Long Chen was stunned. It seemed that Tang Wan'er rarely looked kindly to him. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have never done so. This made him very uncomfortable.
But when he saw Qing Yu next to Tang Wan'er, Long Chen immediately understood something. Even though he didn't want to, he had to go through it.
"Hello, Sister Qingyu," Long Chen could only smile and greet Qingyu.
Tang Wan'er said that what she fears most is this sister Qingyu. Qingyu is actually her maid, but she is very kind to her and treats her as her own sister.
But the only problem with this Qingyu is that she likes to nag too much, which can drive people crazy, so Tang Wan'er is both in love with and afraid of her.
Originally, Qingyu was telling Tang Wan'er something, but suddenly Long Chen arrived. Tang Wan'er felt for the first time that Long Chen looked so cute and handsome, so she called him over.
"Long Chen, I heard that you got into a fight with someone again. Are you okay?" Qing Yu couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed after seeing Long Chen.
The jade hand gently lifted up and gently picked off a piece of grass clippings stained on Long Chen's hair. Originally, Long Chen felt a little uncomfortable and felt that this action was too intimate, so he wanted to step back.
However, there is no impurity in the eyes when looking at Qingyu, just like pure lake water, which makes people feel more friendly.
He helped Long Chen remove the grass clippings from his hair, and gently helped Long Chen tidy up his collar: "Although Wan'er said that you are powerful in combat, we are here to practice in the other courtyard.
If you don't encounter something too extreme, you should be patient if you can, after all, you are brave enough to fight..."
I don't know why, but feeling Qing Yu's gentle movements, Long Chen suddenly thought of his mother. When he was young, she also used such gentle movements to help him tidy up his messy hair.
He still remembered that at that time, his mother was very young and very beautiful, just like Qingyu now.
However, as he grew up day by day, his mother became older day by day, and when he was reminded of the past, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and felt like tears were coming to his eyes.
At the same time, he could also feel Qingyu's kindness and care from the heart. No wonder Tang Waner, with her temperament, would always tolerate her. It was an emotion that could not be let go.
Seeing Long Chen's arrival, Tang Waner finally breathed a sigh of relief and could finally relax. However, Long Chen's eyes were slightly red and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Guo Ran couldn't help but feel funny when he saw that Long Chen, who was so arrogant just now and kicked a strong man to the ground, would listen to a woman's teachings like a good boy.
Although Long Chen was moved in his heart, it was a bit uncomfortable to be educated constantly. Suddenly he saw Guo Ran snickering from the side and couldn't help but get angry:
"Guo Ran, come here"
"Boss, what's the matter?" Guo Ran quickly put away his smile and said seriously.
Long Chen said to Qingyu: "Sister Qingyu, I think what you said is very reasonable, every word is very thought-provoking, but I have a bad memory.
Let me introduce to you, this is my brother. He is a famous memory expert, but he never forgets what he has heard.
So if you want to teach me some good advice, just tell him and he will sort it out and write it down in his notebook.
In this way, even if my sister is no longer around, I can still study the warnings she left behind and listen to her teachings all the time."
Guo Ran couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this. Who am I provoking? When Qingyu heard what Long Chen said, his eyes lit up:
"I didn't expect you to be so smart, Long Chen. This is a good way to get twice the result with half the effort. Your name is Guo Ran, right? Well, you have to remember clearly what I'm going to say next. It might be a bit long. If you can't remember it, you can
Tell me, and I'll say it again, okay, let's start with being brave and ruthless..." Qingyu pulled Guo Ran aside and started the real explanation.
Long Chen pretended that he couldn't see Guo Ran's resentful eyes. Who made you gloat about his misfortune? Let us brothers share the blessings and share the hardships.
"Bad guy, why are you so smart?" Tang Wan'er walked up to Long Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
"When Sister Qingyu educates me again in the future, I can use this method. It's really great."
When Long Chen saw Tang Wan'er staring at him, he couldn't help but said: "I'm telling you, don't pay my attention."
"Tch, do I deserve to slap your attention?" Tang Wan'er raised the corners of her mouth and said disdainfully.
Long Chen felt relieved now and said seriously: "Have all the people been counted?"
Tang Wan'er said with a slightly gloomy face: "After counting, most of them have arrived, but a few people had accidents and died during the trial."
"How could that happen?" Long Chen said in shock.
"In my team, there were two very talented applicants who were accidentally pushed into the water when they were crossing the river. As a result..." Tang Wan'er couldn't help gritting her teeth when she said this.
Long Chen understood as soon as he heard it. I'm afraid it wasn't an accident, it was intentional, and asked: "Who did it?"
"Someone reported to me that it was Qi Xin's men who did it. At that time, they were all crowded on a raft, and most of them were on that raft.
At that time, the raft suddenly cracked, people panicked, and several people immediately fell into the river, including those two people," Tang Wan'er said.
"Is this a malicious killing, and other hospitals don't care?" Long Chen couldn't help but frown, without even thinking about it, this was definitely a conspiracy.
"It's useless. There were seven people who fell into the water at that time, and one of them was Qi Xin's subordinate. Even if we knew they did it intentionally, there is no evidence.
Moreover, someone on their side also died, so they have absolute reason to say it was an accident, and even other hospitals can't do anything about it." Tang Wan'er sighed and said helplessly.
"Those two people are very powerful, even stronger than the Zhao Wu you killed before. I didn't expect them to be so ruthless." Tang Wan'er's beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn red as she said this, obviously unable to accept this fact.
Perhaps in Tang Wan'er's eyes, this was just a game, but for a game, two people lost their lives, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"You have to slowly learn to accept the cruel reality. These competitions in other courtyards are nothing. Only if you live in the secular world will you understand what real cruelty is.
When your loved one falls in front of you, that kind of powerlessness, that kind of pain, that kind of torture, that's called cruelty.
This is unimaginable for you, the children of aristocratic families who live in a honeypot, so you should accept the reality, because it will become more and more cruel in the future, unless you quit practicing." Long Chen said.
After experiencing the ghosts of the human heart and several life-and-death battles, Long Chen has long seen through the nature of cultivation. The reality is so cruel. If you want to live with dignity, you need to have matching strength.
Otherwise, no matter whether he is a peddler or a pawn, or an emperor or general, he is still in control. As the son of a prince, Long Chen is already a high-ranking existence in the eyes of the common people. At least he has enough food and clothing, and does not have to worry about where his next meal will be.
But what about the reality? Aren't they forced into desperation? If it weren't for the Dan Emperor's soul, if it weren't for the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Art, the current Long family would have been destroyed long ago and became part of someone else's conspiracy.
Chu Yaogui was an imperial princess, but she was manipulated and doomed to a tragic fate. If it weren't for Long Chen, she would have died long ago.
So in Long Chen's eyes, what kind of life you want, you need to match what kind of strength, otherwise you can either choose to live a humble life or choose to die happily, there is no third way.
"I feel like I harmed them. If I hadn't pulled them into my camp..." Tang Wan'er said with some annoyance.
"Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven. It's not that you harmed them, it's that their lives are not tough enough.
Cultivation is a path of no return. Once you embark on it, there is no chance to look back. If you shake your Taoist heart, it will not take long for you to follow in their footsteps." Long Chen looked at Tang Wan'er very seriously.
road.
Because of the death of two capable subordinates, she became confused about her practice, which was very detrimental to her, so Long Chen was not allowed to wake her up.
Tang Wan'er couldn't help being startled. Long Chen's words woke her up like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.
"Thank you Long Chen, I was the one who got the best of you." Tang Wan'er looked at Long Chen and said with some gratitude.
As a monster-level strongman and the number one genius in her family, the strong men in her family have long warned her that she must keep her Taoist heart clear, but she has unknowingly shaken her Taoist heart.
If Long Chen hadn't reminded her, this hidden danger would have probably spread. Although it may not have formed an inner demon, it would definitely have had an impact on her practice.
Long Chen smiled slightly, looked at Tang Wan'er, blinked and said: "You're welcome, just remember that, you understand."
Long Chen wanted to say that he would marry him, but there was someone nearby. Although the two of them spoke in a low voice, it would be bad if someone heard them.
Tang Wan'er's original guilty mood disappeared immediately, and she looked at Long Chen with an angry face: "Asshole, do you want to die?"
Long Chen couldn't help but smile: "You are relatively normal at this time."
Tang Wan'er looked at Long Chen and couldn't help but feel angry, funny, and at the same time a little touched.
Long Chen was diverting his attention, and he succeeded. The moment he became angry, her mood returned.
"Long Chen, sometimes I don't understand what's going on in your mind. It seems like you know a lot," Tang Wan'er said curiously.
"It's not like it seems, but I really know a lot. I understand the sky above, the earth below, and the air between heaven and earth." Long Chen shook his head and said seriously.
Seeing Long Chen's appearance, even though she knew that Long Chen was deliberately being funny, Tang Wan'er couldn't help but giggle. When she saw someone nearby casting a surprised look, she quickly stopped her laughter.
Tang Waner scolded: "You are so thick-skinned. By the way, Long Chen, do you have any ideals?"
"Of course, what if it comes true?" Long Chen said seriously.
"Then what is your ideal?" Tang Wan'er asked hurriedly.
"My ideal is... Hehe, I feel a little embarrassed," Long Chen said shyly.
"Tch, with your shame, tell me what you are embarrassed about," Tang Wan'er said expectantly.
"Then I'm telling you, you have to stand firm. My ideal is to be a big bastard," Long Chen said word for word.
