chapter 160 long chen's grand dream

translator: borntobe

long chen saw tang wan-er beckoning to him cordially from the crowd.

that made him pause for a moment. it didn’t seem as if tang wan-er had even been that nice to him before...

but then he saw that qing yu was beside her and he immediately understood. even though he didn’t want to, he still braced himself for it as he walked over.

“sister qing yu, hello.” long chen had no choice but to smile nicely to qing yu.

tang wan-er had already told him that the person she was most afraid of would have to be this sister qing yu of hers. although qing yu was her maid, she didn’t treat her that way. instead, she considered her as her own little sister.

but qing yu’s sole fault was that she always wanted to nag, to the point of driving people crazy. so tang wan-er both loved and feared her.

qing yu had been chatting with tang wan-er when long chen had arrived. long chen had looked so adorable and handsome that she had called him over.

“long chen, i heard you fought with someone else. are you alright?” qing yu asked somewhat annoyed.

she gently removed a piece of stray grass from his hair. his first reaction was that he wasn’t used to someone being that intimate with him and he wanted to take a step back.

but seeing that there wasn’t even the slightest impurity within qing yu’s eyes, he suddenly felt much closer to her. those eyes were just like a clear pool of water.

after taking out that stray strand, she then tidied up his collar. “although wan-er told me you are powerful, we came to the monastery to cultivate.

“if you don’t run into anything too excessive, it’d be better to just endure it. after all, it’s not good to be too vicious and...”

he didn’t know why, but qing yu’s gentle actions caused him to think of his mother. when he was little, she would also use these gentle movements to tidy him up.

he still remembered at that time his mother was still very young and extremely beautiful, just like qing yu.

but as he grew up, his mother grew older. thinking of the past, his heart soured slightly and he felt he was about to tear up.

at the same time he could also sense that qing yu’s heart was extremely kind and caring. it was no wonder someone with tang wan-er’s temperament would still put up with her. that kind of feeling was something impossible to give up.

tang wan-er finally let out a breath of relief. at least she was no longer the only target of qing yu’s scolding. but looking at long chen’s eyes which had reddened slightly, she was startled.

as for guo ran, when he saw long chen who had gone from a mighty expert who had sent someone flying with a single kick to being almost an obedient little child listening to a woman’s instructions, he laughed.

although long chen’s heart was moved, being continuously scolded by someone really wasn’t fun. seeing guo ran laughing into his sleeve, he had a sudden inspiration.

“guo ran, get over here.”

“what do you need boss?” guo ran hastily put away his smile.

long chen said to qing yu, “sister qing yu, i feel like what you said makes a lot of sense. each of your words are pearls of wisdom that give me food for thought. but my memory isn’t very good.

“let me introduce you: this is my brother guo ran. he is someone famous for his amazing memory. he’ll never forget anything he hears.

then there was chu yao. she had been born with the status of an empire’s princess. but she had been plotted against, foreordained to have a miserable fate. without long chen, she probably would have already killed herself.

so, in long chen’s opinion, in order to live properly, you needed a powerful strength. otherwise, you could choose to live a miserable life surviving off scraps, or you could choose to release yourself in death. there was not another option.

“i feel like i harmed them. if i hadn’t pulled them into my faction...”

“life and death are ordained by the heavens. you didn’t harm them; the only thing that can be said is that they were unlucky.

“cultivation is a path of no retreat. once you step onto this path, there’s no chance for you to look back. if your dao-heart ends up wavering, you will also follow along behind them not long from now,” long chen solemnly warned tang wan-er.

if she ended up lost on her cultivation path because two of her capable subordinates had died, that would definitely be not worth it. so long chen gave her a warning.

tang wan-er shook. long chen’s words were like an alarm, awakening her with a start.

“thank you long chen. i was just chasing my own tail.” tang wan-er gratefully thanked him.

as a monster-class expert and the number one genius of her family, her family’s experts had long since repeatedly warned her that she must maintain a bright dao-heart. unconsciously, her dao-heart had already begun to waver now.

if it weren’t for long chen’s reminder, that kind of hidden danger might really end up blowing up. although it might not have necessarily formed a heart-devil, it would definitely have affected her future cultivation.

long chen smiled slightly. he winked, “what are you so courteous for? just remember it all. you understand?” long chen had actually been about to repeat what he had said about her giving him her heart, but there were too many people around. although they were extremely quiet, it wouldn’t be good for others to overhear that.

tang wan-er’s shame immediately flew away. “scoundrel, do you want to die?!”

long chen laughed, “only this side of you is a bit more normal.”

tang wan-er found that both irritating and funny. she was also a bit moved.

long chen had wanted to divert her thoughts, and he had succeeded. the moment she had become indignant, she had woken from her stupor.

“sometimes i really can’t understand just what is in that head of yours. somehow you seem to understand many things,” curiously said tang wan-er.

“not seem to; i really do understand many things. i understand the heavens, i understand the earth, and i understand everything in between.” long chen shook his head, deadly serious.

seeing long chen like this, she didn’t know whether he was purposely acting eccentric or not. she laughed, but seeing how many people glancing over in surprise, she quickly stopped.

she rebuked, “your skin really is thick. right, long chen, do you have any dreams for your future?”

“of course i have a dream! after all, what if i manage to achieve it one day?” seriously said long chen.

“then what is your dream?” curiously asked tang wan-er.

“my dream is... hehe, i feel like it's a bit embarrassing to say,” he bashfully said.

“tch, with your thick skin, is there anything that is embarrassing to you? quickly tell me.” tang wan-er was filled with anticipation.

“then i’ll tell you. don’t get too shocked. my dream is to become one - big - scoundrel.”
