as soon as di long, yu xiaoyun, and the others left, long chen had felt that qu jianying’s gaze was a bit off, and so he had been on guard.
as soon as qu jianying’s arm had reached toward him, he had turned and dodged behind the patriarch, hiding.
“you little brat, you dare to dodge?!” raged qu jianying.
“alliance head, if there’s anything to say, we can talk about it properly. long chen is already grown up, and treating him like this is a bit unsuitable,” said the patriarch. since the patriarch was the only one whose cultivation base and seniority were high enough to say such things to qu jianying, he could only thicken his face.
“what? once he’s grown up, i can’t beat him? just because he obtained first place on the devil slaughter rankings, i can’t admonish him? you little scoundrel, i was in the midst of thinking how to reward you when you stirred up such trouble! he gave me that much trouble so quickly, why can’t i set him straight?!” raged qu jianying.
“this matter can’t be blamed on long chen. it was entirely those people who went too far. even the xuantian tower couldn’t bear it,” explained the patriarch hastily.
“don’t bring up such useless things. i’m more aware of di long and yu xiaoyun’s intentions than you are. i simply find this little scoundrel to be displeasing. so what if i want to vent?” qu jianying glared at long chen.
“alliance head, i worked so hard to get first place for you! how can you find me displeasing?” said long chen in an aggrieved manner.
“do you still not realize that these two matters are unrelated? you’re a typical case of a child who will start tearing out roof tiles if you aren’t disciplined every day. if i let you off so easily, sooner or later you’ll cause such trouble that even i won’t be able to handle it.” casting long chen a sideways glance, qu jianying added, “as for that woman, you should be careful. as soon as anyone catches solid proof, you will immediately become the enemy of the world. your enemies won’t let that opportunity go. when the time comes, even if i were to sacrifice my own life, i wouldn’t be able to protect you.”
qu jianying’s words gravely emphasized the danger. long chen’s argument clearly hadn’t tricked her, nor could it trick di long, yu xiaoyun, and the others.
the only reason yu xiaoyun and the others had left was because they had no solid proof, and with qu jianying and the xuantian dao sect fully supporting long chen, there was no way for them to use force against him.
just because they had left now didn’t mean that they had given up. it was the opposite. they would be keeping a close eye on him in the future, and if he slipped up, then the venomous viper that had been lying in wait for so long would strike, killing him in one bite. so qu jianying had to admonish him, or it would be too late if long chen were to act without thinking of the consequences.
however, even qu jianying did not ask the truth about yue xiaoqian. clearly, this topic was taboo even for her.
“i understand.” long chen knew that qu jianying was doing this for his own good.
the four of them sat down. long chen once more told the whole story of what had happened. although that matter had passed, long chen’s fury still ignited when he explained how someone from heavenly fate island had sabotaged them.
if they only viewed things from the perspective of a bystander, perhaps it would be better. however, if they tried to interfere with fate, the heavenly daos would immediately lock onto them.
that was why heavenly fate island didn’t have many true disciples. many of them died to heavenly tribulation because once you were locked onto by the heavenly daos, when the time for your tribulation came, your heavenly tribulation would turn into heavenly punishment.
countless experts longed to be able to know the future while not imagining the danger involved. each year, millions of disciples would enter heavenly fate island to cultivate, but the number that could become core disciples was less than one in ten thousand.
heavenly fate island didn’t even need trials to wash out their disciples. if they could survive their tribulations, then they could continue studying the way to peer into the heavens.
many disciples committed a taboo of the heavenly daos without even realizing it. when their tribulation transformed into heavenly punishment, they were turned to dust.
so training in heaven-peering arts was like standing on a raised pole above a thirty-thousand-meter cliff. whether you went left or right, if you went past a limit, you would fall.
an old monster like duan tianya definitely wouldn’t be so foolish as to personally do anything to long chen. most likely, he had used a large number of disciples to collect information about long chen from many different angles. that was the only possibility as to how he had made such a perfect scheme.
he might not be as affected, but all those people who obeyed his orders would definitely die when their tribulations came.
“however, if heavenly fate island wants to, can’t they reuse these people?” asked li tianxuan.
after all, they would die in any case. using them once meant they died, but using them ten times also meant that they died. why not use the same people over and over again?
“you’re overthinking it. they will only have one chance to do such large-scale calculations against long chen. such large movements will definitely draw the attention of the heavenly daos. the heavenly daos will protect themselves, screening the lines of fate from those people. duan tianya would have to use another batch of people, however, if he does that, ignoring whether or not he cares if there will be any disciples left to carry out heavenly fate island’s inheritance, he himself will not get off lightly. if he tries to undergo such a large movement again, with him in charge twice, the heavenly daos will lock onto him. although he’s at the netherpassage realm and has no hope of further advancements, the heavens have other ways to punish people. his longevity will shorten by hundreds or even thousands of times. do you think he would dare?” qu jianying smiled.
“so that’s the case.” li tianxuan and long chen understood now. no wonder qu jianying dared to say that they wouldn’t be able to pull off such a scheme again.
in truth, heavenly fate island was just a group of people that were full of tricks. but the heavenly daos were merciless, and if they interfered with the heavenly daos, they would invoke karma.
“however, even if heavenly fate island does not try to read your fate again, you can’t be careless. they have great influence, so be careful of them setting you up for something. in any case, just make sure not to give them anything they can use against you. you can leave the rest to me. as long as there’s no proof, you can mess around as much as you want. i’ll handle them,” said qu jianying.
long chen smiled. the feeling of having someone supporting him was truly good. however, some enmities had to be avenged personally. he had to give heavenly fate island a painful lesson.
“alright, let’s not talk about these things. aren’t you interested in the reward for this battle?” as soon as qu jianying said this, long chen’s eyes began to shine. money!
