Along the way, he saw other sects' mansions lavishly decorated and luxurious, but what stood before Long Chen and the others was nothing but ruins.
An ancient building, only three stories tall, had fallen into disrepair and dilapidated over the years, covered in cobwebs and dust. The slightly ajar gate was labeled: "Lingxiao Academy Reception Desk."
Seeing this scene, even Bai Shishi's mother was furious. Although the living quarters at Lingxiao Academy were very simple in previous years, it was never this bad—it was practically meant for beggars.
Luo Bing and the others couldn't help but feel annoyed. This was too much—Silvermoon City was so prosperous, yet they were being allowed to live in a place like this.
Instead, Long Chen smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't really matter. It's just a place to stay. We'll leave after the conference, and we're not staying here permanently."
Everyone started cleaning together. As they spoke, Long Chen took out some tools and started cleaning. Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and the others quickly joined in to help.
"Third Brother, you don't need to do anything, I'll do it." Mu Qingyun reached out to take the tools from Long Chen and started cleaning.
Actually, cleaning is very simple, but no one can bear the humiliation. While they were cleaning, many powerful figures passed by, pointed fingers and whispered as they did, and some even mocked them outright.
Long Chen was dressed like a beggar, making a place like this most suitable. Long Chen glanced at the man and couldn't help but laugh—he was actually wearing the uniform of a Jiuhua Sect disciple.
The Jiuhua delegation arrived at the academy, each arrogant and arrogant, but Long Chen beaten them up and drove them away. Unexpectedly, they encountered disciples of the Jiuhua Sect here.
As the Jiuhua Sect disciple mocked him, more and more people gathered to watch the spectacle, just like watching a monkey show.
"Hey, isn't this the arrogant Third Master Long standing at the city gate? To actually live in such a ruined place—heh, that really suits your temperament. "
A bunch of clowns who don't know their place, now behave, huh? Don't you know what kind of person you are?" Still arrogant? Long
Chen was arrogant and overbearing at the city gate. Many people recognized his face, especially since he was wearing a patched black robe that made him easier to recognize. For a moment, seeing Long Chen like this, they immediately kicked him when he was down, mocking him coldly.
"Damn it... Bai
Xiaole was furious and was about to rush over to beat them up, but Long Chen grabbed him. Long Chen couldn't help but laugh and said,
"Kid, you have to remember, the greater the humiliation you can endure to deserve the greater honor."
True arrogance isn't for others; true pride is disdainful of others' opinions, even if criticized by thousands, yet still doing things your own way.
Just a bunch of small fry—a single fart can kill a whole group, or a pee can drown an entire row. Why bother with them? If a beast provokes a dragon, the dragon gets angry and strikes it down.
But have you ever seen a giant dragon chase after a group of ants because it was provoked by a group of ants? "
No."
Bai Xiaole nodded, but the kid was a bit slow to react. After answering, he understood and burst out laughing, instantly dissolving his frustration.
"Bastard, who are you calling an ant?"
"You're the ant. Only ants would live in ruins like this."
"At a time like this, what right do you have to be so arrogant? Putting on a brave face? This
time, it was the onlookers' turn to be furious, cursing loudly, each one with a flushed face and a thick neck.
Long Chen put his arm around Bai Xiaole's shoulder and pointed at those people, saying, "See that?" When they curse, it means they are angry.
They were angry, but lacked any real ability, so they didn't dare to make a move. With nowhere to vent their anger, all they could do was spit on them.
I just like how they look at me and dislike me, but can't take me down, feeling like they're steaming from all their holes. "
Hehe, boss, I like it too."
Bai Xiaole grinned and took out two chairs: "Boss, have a seat. We'll take our time to enjoy their expressions." Long
Chen and Bai Xiaole sat in front of the house, crossing their legs, watching a group of people spit at them, yet looking completely at ease, which made Luo Bing and the others laugh.
"These two guys really are a pair of lively treasures." Even Bai Shishi's mother couldn't help but smile when she looked at the two.
Bai Shishi's mother looked at Bai Shishi. Although Bai Shishi didn't look at Long Chen, her expression was strange, clearly holding it in, trying not to laugh.
With so many people working together, the house was quickly packed. After all, everyone has their own starry space. Even without a house, the materials in hand can instantly build a house.
However, inside Silvermoon City, no one could sleep outdoors anymore, nor could they summon war chariots or flying boats as resting tools, so they could only stay in houses.
Long Chen and Bai Xiaole were grinning at those who were cursing. Those insults were so angry their throats were smoking, because just a few replies from Long Chen would make them furious.
In the end, the crowd cursed hoarsely, but in the end, they reluctantly dispersed. Long Chen and Bai Xiaole returned triumphantly like generals who had just won a battle. Today was the most exciting day of Bai Xiaole's life.
The house is very large, and after cleaning and decorating, it's still very comfortable—each person can't even fit a single room.
Bai Shishi's mother arranged everyone and left, not saying what she was going to do, just reminding everyone not to wander.
However, just as Bai Shishi's mother left, Long Chen also left. Likewise, he reminded everyone not to wander around.
Long Chen left his residence and took the teleportation array five times in a row, arriving at the busiest street of Silvermoon City. The place was filled with powerful figures, and the entire street was bustling with people.
Long Chen walked along the street, weaving through the crowd, constantly glancing around. Soon, his eyes lit up and he saw a tall building.
"Huayun Trading Company"
was a branch of Huayun Trading Company in Silvermoon City. Long Chen obtained the jade token, which bore a map of Silvermoon City, so it was easy to find.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?"
Long Chen had just entered the building and hadn't seen what was inside when a polite young girl approached.
"The brilliance of the God of Wealth shines upon the world. With the art of business, I do great good deeds. May there be no more hunger or illness in the world..." Long Chen said, gazing at the woman and chanting.
This was a recitation poem that Zheng Wenlong had taught Long Chen. When Zheng Wenlong taught him, he said it had special significance. Long Chen thought Zheng wanted to recruit him into the group and become a follower of the God of Wealth, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Now that Long Chen recited this recitation, the woman's eyes lit up: "So we are both followers of the God of Wealth. May I ask if you need help?" "
Yes, I need help, and I really need it." Long Chen smiled. He hadn't expected to get involved with Huayun Trading Company so easily. He had a feeling that his path to soaring was about to begin.
