Chapter 175 – Call me Grandpa for Three Times The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via /n/ov/el/b/in.
Long Chen defeated Chu Yunxi, and Chu Tianxiong was forced to go back by Dongfang Xuanxiao. All these were truly dramatic. Everyone was watching in astonishment.
“It isn’t over yet?” Dongfang Yunxiao said. Everyone was a bit confused at the moment. Chu Yunxi was already holding the last breath, being no rival to Long Chen at all. Did they really have to wait for him to surrender?
Suddenly, they thought of the betting between Chu Yunxi and Long Chen. Whoever surrenders would become the grandson of the other person. Now that Chu Yunxi didn’t pass out, he didn’t lose yet.
Long Chen had a sudden inspiration. He seemed to know what Dongfang Xuanxiao asked him to do.
From the beginning, Dongfang Xuanxiao had always defending for Long Chen, although he had never mentioned that. Long Chen must be a fool if he ignored that.
“Well, with the protection from this guru, I will challenge the heaven for this time.” Long Chen rejoiced in his heart. He didn’t care about how Chu Tianxiong felt at all, because Dongfang Xuanxiao was protecting him, and he could do whatever he wanted.
Meanwhile, other seniors also discovered such subtle preference.
“Lord Xuanxiao is in favor of Long Chen?” Such idea popped up in many people’s minds, especially Jin Luan and Chu Tian Xiong, who had a strong feeling that Lord Xuanxiao wasn’t very in favor of Sheng’en or Chu Yunxi, instead, he defended for Long Chen for several times in the dark.
Chu Tianxiong and Jin Luan took a look at each other, bearing an ominous premonition.
In the meantime, Gu Batian had always been happy for Long Chen. At the moment he even cared for nothing and laughed out loud: “Good boy, do you remember your deal? Come and surrender now, so that your Grandpa Three could have one more brother!”
Hearing Gu Batian’s words, Chu Tianxiong turned his face sombre. He spoke with sullen eyes: “Gu Batian, what are you talking about?”
Gu Batian pouted, having no interest to care about him at all. Instead, he looked at Long Chen so much expectation. In the meantime, Long Chen had already stand beside Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi had just crawled up from the muds, being covered by dark sludge and rotten smell. On his face, his blood was mixed with the slurry. At the moment, he completely lost his previous image of a magnificent beau and became an ugly person.
“Grandson, just surrender quickly. It really stinks here, your grandpa wants to leave now.” Long Chen tapped Chu Yunxi’s shoulder for a few times and spoke to him with a smirk.
At the moment, Chu Yunxi could merely keep himself from falling into the marsh, how could he even have the strength to fight with Long Chen?
How miserable was he! His seniors and friends were all watching him! Chu Yunxi just wanted to kill himself on the spot!
Lifting up his head, he saw Long Chen’s teasing smile and victory gesture of a petty man. Chu Yunxi was angry at the beginning, but then he turned into fear.
Long Chen’s smile was no doubt a nightmare for him at the moment.
“Please spare me, Long Chen. Please do me a favor…” Chu Yunxi spoke with a hoarse and trembling voice.
“Being ruthless and sparing no one, this is your grandpa’s style, don’t you understand?” Long Chen didn’t seem like to stop.
“What do you want?”
Long Chen smiled and waved his hands: “What do I want? Now it’s time for you to fulfill our promise. Kneel down and call me grandpa for three times, that’s all.”
Hearing Long Chen’s words, Chu Tianxiong and the like in the Green Faction had reached the edge of fury. Long Chen was insulting Chu Yunxi and the Chu’s family, obviously! If what happened here went around, the reputation of the Chu’s family would be completely ruined.
“Long Chen, please do not flaunt for the temporary pleasure! Today you spare Yunxi’s life, so that I will spare your life in the future.” Though being unable to save Chu Yunxi, Chu Tianxiong still tried to threaten him by language, while standing from afar.
He was an expert who had achieved the advance mastery stage of Heaven Dan Realm, and leading an entire outside family with countless aces. Therefore, on the spot, anyone except for Dongfang Xuanxiao would show some respect for him.
But Long Chen didn’t.
“Is our senior threatening me? But such threat is a bit too weak to bring me down. I, Long Chen merely follow our rules and our deal, I didn’t step over the line. If I lost to him, I would surrender and call him grandpa for three times, too! How could he eat his words? Is this a habit of the Chu’s family?”
Long Chen was neither humble nor pushy, even turning a blind eye to Chu Tianxiong. At the moment, everyone had a complicated feeling.
On one hand, they were amazed by Long Chen’s boldness, on the other hand, they were worried that Long Chen might not be able to escape from the cunning fox, Chu Tianxiong’s palms!
“Lord Xuanxiao! Please do me a favor, Lord Xuanxiao, show some respect to our Green Faction!” At the moment, Chu Tianxiong’s blue veins were all standing out. He stopped talking to Long Chen, instead, he imposed some pressure directly on Dongfang Xuanxiao.
After all, the Green Faction was one of the nine outside families of the Lingwu Family and had contributed a lot to the Lingwu family. Chu Tianxiong hoped that Dongfang Xuanxiao could show due respect to them.
For this time, anyone from the inner faction would help Chu Tianxiong.
“Uncle Four, just let it go. Now we’re just wasting our time for nothing.” Dongfang Tianyu also took his courage to speak with Dongfang Xuanxiao, under Chu Yunyao’s instigation.
“Stop.” Dongfang Xuanxiao remained a calm face, yet turned to Chu Tianxiong and spoke word by word: “Are you giving me some pressure?”
“I dare not!” Chu Tianxiong said.
“Listen, this is the selective trial of the inner faction. I, Dongfang Xuanxiao am in charge of this. I do whatever I want. Since they had made the rules, we should follow them. If you say one more word, please get out from here.”
Dongfang Xuanxiao’s words completely shut Chu Tianxiong’s mouth up.
“You!”
On the edge of bursting into anger, Chu Tianxiong thought of Xuanxiao’s powerful background and abundant capability, so he could merely hold it back and swallowed his words.
By this token, Dongfang Xuanxiao had showed evident preference towards Long Chen. Everyone was speculating in the dark, how Long Chen could earn Dongfang Xuanxiao’s favor.
“Lord Xuanxiao has always had an unpredictable character, so different from other inner faction members. We can never see through his mind…”
With the backup from Xuanxiao, Long Chen became fearless.
“But why does he value me so much?” Long Chen wasn’t a fool, of course he could sense Dongfang Xuanxiao’s preference on him – at this moment, he even got angry at a senior of an outside family for Long Chen’s sake.
Turning around and looking at this somewhat horrible but majestic man, Long Chen couldn’t see a clue.
“For this time, I need to find out a super powerful star here and hold him tight. Xuanxiao? Well, then it’s you!”
Long Chen felt extremely relaxed when thinking of this.
He reached out and dragged up Chu Yunxi’s collar, picking him up and putting up an amiable smile, saying: “Little grandson, are you going to surrender now?”
Chu Yunxi was trembling all the time. He just wanted to escape from Long Chen’s demonic talons. However, his self-dignity kept telling him that he could never surrender.
“Long Chen, I’m wrong… I’m no rival to you, please spare me…” That was already the limit for Chu Yunxi at the moment.
“Exactly, I’ve been waiting for the chance to spare your life. Call me grandpa now. If you surrender to me, all this will end now.” Long Chen spoke to him in an enigmatical manner. At this moment, he became the focus of the audiences.
“No!” Chu Yunxi shook his head forthrightly. He turned to look at Chu Tianxiong, begging for help with his eyes, however, his head was moved back by Long Chen immediately.
“Don’t look at Grandpa Three. He’s old and useless now. You can ask me to be your good grandpa, I will protect you in the future and beat whoever dares to touch you. What do you think?”
Seeing how presumptuous Long Chen was, the Chu’s family was utterly flustered and exasperated. However, they couldn’t do anything because Dongfang Xuanxiao was supporting Long Chen.
Chu Yunxi stopped talking, while Long Chen clicked his tongue: “Well, it seems that you have a stubborn temper, little boy. How about that, I’m going to strip your clothes off now, one by one. I think you will surrender to me before you get naked, right?”
“Son of bitch!” Chu Yunyao burst into tears out of anger. How dare Long Chen strip Chu Yunxi’s clothes off! If that was the case, how could Chu Yunxi face the crowd anymore?
“What a ruthless guy!” Gu Batian gave him a thumb.
As for other females whoever standing for Long Chen, like Yin Mengyao and Liu Lan were secretly calling him a rogue, but worrying about him at the same time. After all, he was insulting the family of a Green Faction senior.
“Long Chen…” Chu Tianxiong’s fists were clenched tightly. If Jin Luan who was standing aside hadn’t stopped him, he might have already taken an action.
At the moment, Long Chen really put his hands on Chu Yunxi’s clothes, smiling: “You better be hurry. I don’t want to be misunderstood that I have a different sexual orientation. But you truly have a white skin and a handsome look!”
Though Long Chen was smiling while speaking, the magic power in his words were still shocking Chu Yunxi.
Imagining that he might show up his naked body in front of so many people, Chu Yunxi eventually couldn’t hold his mental line of defense anymore. As Chu Tianxiong wasn’t able to save him, he could only save himself. It was embarrassing, but it was better than being stripped off.
“Long Chen, Long Chen, I surrender, I surrender!”
Chu Yunxi fell into panic, even making a posture of kneeling down in the slush.
“Well, I can forgive your not being convenient to kneel down. My good grandson, could you call me grandpa for three times?”
“Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!”
Chu Yunxi quickly finished the three words while suppressing his emotions. He was almost bursting into tears, because he could feel that Chu Tianxion was already utterly disappointed by him.
“Good boy.” Long Chen suddenly spitted out such words before everyone could react. He reached out and threw Chu Yunxi towards Chu Tianxiong’s direction.
For Chu Yunxi, his misfortune had been more than enough for the day.
Chu Yunxi was caught by Chu Tianxiong. However, he was seriously injured and in need of a good rest.
Chu Tianxiong also lost all his faces and couldn’t stay here anymore. They both took a malicious glance at Long Chen, and then left the Cave of Life and Death without looking back.
Dongfang Xuanxiao didn’t even pay attention to them. He looked at Long Chen for a few times, suggesting that he should come back, and then said: “Long Chen versus Chu Yunxi, Long Chen wins. Now we have only 4 people left for the selective trial of the inner faction. They are Jin Sheng’en, Yin Mengyao, Gu Cheng and Long Chen. Now we’ll change to another place for the second round of combat.”
Two contestants of the final selective trial of the inner faction would be decided among these four people.
According to the rules, Yin Mengyao was supposed to battle with Jin Sheng’en, while Long Chen would confront with Gu Cheng.
