When Long Xihe saw Lord Tiansi, although he pretended to be calm, there was still a trace of fear deep in his eyes, because from Lord Tiansi's stern face, he sensed something was wrong.
Previously, he tried to use a bit of cleverness to push Long Chen into the fire pit, but Long Chen saw through and mocked him. Lord Tiansi saw all of this clearly.
Now that the Lord of Heaven had arrived, he immediately felt his scalp tingle, as if he had been brought into the judgment hall.
"Xihe, you've really let me down." Lord Tiansi glanced at Long Xihe and sighed.
Long Xihe trembled all over. From that sigh, he understood that Lord Tiansi had seen through his little schemes clearly.
Long Xihe trembled all over, dropped to his knees with a thud, and was about to speak when Lord Tiansi shook his head and said,
"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?" Take your people back. The opportunity was given to you, but you didn't seize it. You can't blame others. "
Long Xihe's face turned ashen upon hearing this. Only now did he understand why the higher-ups had sent him to find Long Chen—this was a test, and he ....
Long Xihe missed the greatest opportunity of his life. Now, not only did he miss the chance, but after returning, he could no longer keep his position as an elder, and his former glory would never return.
Long Xihe could only lower his head and leave with the others. His figure was filled with loneliness, like an old man on the verge of death, silently walking toward his grave.
Long Chen watched Long Xihe's back, but felt no pity. Such a person was not worthy of sympathy, because he never sympathized with others.
"Whoosh!"
After driving Long Xihe away, Lord Tiansi waved his hand, sending a golden token flying toward Long Chen. Long Chen was stunned and instinctively reached out to catch it.
"Smack"—
The token was only palm-sized, extremely heavy in the hand. The cold touch and vast fluctuations were enough to prove that this token was extraordinary.
On the token, the character "司" (司) was engraved, surrounded by densely packed runes, seemingly containing some kind of formation.
"This is my identity badge. With it, you can freely enter and exit all the Long family's territories. If you need assistance, you can mobilize all the Long family's teams.
Our Long family has our own bases in the major ancient cities of Emperor Heaven. If we need anything, we can use a token to enter all the Long family's treasuries. "Lord Tiansi said.
"This ..."
When Lord Si threw out this token, even the Dragon family experts around him were left speechless.
That was the identity token of Lord Tiansi. Holding this token was as if the Lord of Heaven had personally arrived. The power of this token was terrifying. To just hand it over to Long Chen like that was just too much.
"Senior, you're too kind. I'm ...."
Long Chen was also surprised, but he didn't really want to accept the Long family's kindness. After all, he hadn't decided yet whether to go to the Long family. He didn't want to be favored, and besides, because of Long Xihe, he didn't really like the Long family.
"Take it. Even if you don't return to the Long family, you are still a member of our Long family, with our bloodline flowing in your veins.
Your father and his subordinates are all at the Long family. You can't never stop visiting the Long family. Having it makes things much easier—at least you won't be troubled by some annoying little ghosts. When you come, just return the token to me." "Lord Tiansi said.
After Lord Tiansi finished speaking, he didn't give Long Chen a chance to refuse. He cupped his hands to Bai Letian, a simple bow, and then left with his people.
"What do you mean? Is he trying to bribe you because you're strong, boss? At
this moment, Guo Ran and the others approached Long Chen. Looking at the golden token in Long Chen's hand, Guo Ran couldn't help but sneer coldly.
"It's not too late to mend the pen after the sheep are lost. This Lord of the Celestial Department isn't annoying, but who cares? We'll deal with it later." Long Chen looked at the token and put it away.
This Lord of the Celestial Division left a good impression on him. This person gave Long Chen the impression of being upright and selfless, quite wise, decisive and decisive, and earning a favorable impression.
Although Long Chen knew that Lord Tiansi's token might be bribing him, the gesture was truly impressive. From the expressions of the people around Lord Tiansi, you could tell how important the token was.
"Grandpa..."
At this moment, Bai Xiaole and Bai Shishi approached Bai Letian. This time, they didn't address the dean as they did in the academy, since this wasn't inside the academy, so they changed their address.
"Good children, you grow up so fast. From now on, you'll be the backbone of the academy." Bai Letian looked at Bai Xiaole and Bai Shishi, his eyes full of satisfaction. Their growth rate had far exceeded his expectations.
Especially Bai Xiaole, who had almost completely transformed. He had grown from a coward who only knew how to cry into a super strong fighter capable of handling everything on his own. As his grandfather, he was very happy.
"Father, why didn't you make the first move?" Bai Zhantang complained a little. Such a great opportunity to establish authority was stolen by Long Chen's father. He was a bit annoyed, even though it was his future in-law.
"Because Long Chen's father had something important, and I, an old man, was very idle, so naturally I came out a bit later." Bai Letian said with a smile.
"You saw my father before?" Long Chen said, both surprised and delighted.
Bai Letian nodded and said, "Not only did we meet him, we even talked for a bit. Originally, your father was planning to go on a killing spree today."
But those hidden enemies did not show themselves. Because they had urgent matters to attend to, they could no longer wait, so after a brief meeting, they left. "
Hidden enemies?" Everyone was startled.
Bai Letian nodded and said, "The celestial clan is as cunning as a fox, but I never expected that this time, someone would set me up. I was the first to stick out, while others couldn't hide away." "
You mean ...," Long Chen suddenly understood.
"That's right, the forces behind those guys you slain during the heavenly tribulation. Some of them are not at all weaker than the Celestial Clan.
Unfortunately, they hide in the shadows and refuse to show themselves. The words your father left behind were actually meant for them.
After your father left, those guys all dispersed. At first, I thought I didn't need to act, but that Celestial Tribe guy didn't want me to come for nothing, so he gave me a chance to show his face. Bai Letian said with a smile.
Only then did Long Chen suddenly understand. So his father's words were meant for those people. Once his father left, those people disappeared as well. It seemed they didn't dare to go against his father's will and attack him.
Thinking of this, Long Chen felt a trace of sympathy for the Celestial Tribe for the first time. This guy was truly unlucky—used by others as a probing tool, and by Bai Letian and Long Zhantian as tools to establish his power.
"Children, welcome to Emperor Heaven. Next, come to our Lingxiao Academy for a while!"
Bai Letian made a welcoming gesture, then drew his sword and sliced through the void, creating a portal.
Long Chen and the others surged into the portal together. When Bai Letian also entered, the portal closed and the world returned to normalThe previous calm.
