Within the Lingxiao Academy grounds, there is a sacred place called Crane Ming Valley, which was once the residence of the Seven-Colored Crane Clan.
Later, for some unknown reason, the Seven-Colored Immortal Crane clan found another place to rest within Lingxiao Academy.
This place has become a sacred place within Lingxiao Academy, specially for powerful geniuses to undergo tribulations. Because it contains the auspicious aura of the Seven-Colored Immortal Crane, even heavenly tribulations are affected by the auspicious energy, turning from violent to gentle.
Therefore, undergoing tribulation here is both safe and effective. This treasure land is also a place envied by countless sects across the Nine Provinces.
However, to maintain the auspicious aura of the Seven-Colored Immortal Crane Land, one must be a sufficiently powerful prodigy to be qualified to undergo the tribulation here.
Because if anyone were injured or even perished here, it would severely damage the auspicious energy of the area, and the consequences would be extremely serious.
So to undergo tribulation here, even a powerhouse like Bai Shishi must pass a test and assessment. Only after passing can one undergo tribulation here.
Some rules at Lingxiao Academy are very peculiar. They don't have high demands on the weak, but the stronger the students, the harsher the demands. For example, Bai Shishi has no privileges at all; all conditions must be fought for herself.
When Long Chen and Qin Feng arrived at Heming Valley, countless disciples from Lingxiao Academy were already in position. Seeing Long Chen, their eyes lit up.
Today, Long Chen was surprisingly not wearing his tattered, faded robe, but instead a brand-new one.
The robe was jet black, fluttering in the wind, mysterious and domineering. Long Chen was already handsome, and now, wearing this new outfit, he looked even more elegant and handsome, standing out from the crowd, his whole demeanor radiant.
"Third Brother, your new outfit looks amazing." Seeing Long Chen arrive, Mu Qingyun couldn't help but praise him. It must be said, at this moment, Long Chen was absolutely lethal to any woman.
Today, Long Chen's gaze was completely different from usual. In the past, deep in his eyes there was always a trace of inexplicable sadness, but today, that sadness was gone. He looked like the rising sun, full of vitality and warmth.
"Haha, is it just that the clothes look good?" Long Chen laughed heartily. Putting on the new clothes Meng Qi had made for him, he was as excited as a child. When others praised him, he felt incredibly proud.
"Third Brother is already good-looking, and he looks even better in new clothes." Zhong Ling giggled.
"Hehe, you really know how to talk. Just wait, when Third Brother gets rich, he'll be richly rewarded." Long Chen chuckled, the smug look on his face so obvious.
"Thank you, Third Brother. You're the most handsome." Zhong Ling was quite good at flattering her.
"Unfortunately, all the money earned from the Jiuzhou Conference has been lost. Just wait, your third brother will still have money. If you stick with him, you'll definitely get something to eat." Long Chen said with a smile.
For the rewards of this Jiuzhou Conference, Long Chen had nothing but two dragon scales; everything else was distributed among the participants.
The disciples of the War God Hall gave up the competition because of Long Chen's words. Although they didn't have the ability to compete, Long Chen knew they must have felt wronged inside.
Such a frustrated collective surrender was a humiliation for them; they would rather risk a fight than disgrace the War God Hall.
Therefore, most of the immortal crystals Long Chen obtained were distributed among them, and he did not allow them to refuse. This generous gesture completely won the respect of the disciples of the War God Hall.
Long Chen is not only unparalleled in combat power, loyal and righteous, fearless in the face of death, but also treats money like dirt, generous and bold. Such a hero is truly worthy of anyone's sworn admiration.
"Hi!"
Long Chen stood at the edge of Crane Ming Valley, saw Bai Shishi inside, and waved to greet her.
But Bai Shishi just glanced at him and ignored him, leaving Long Chen feeling awkward and muttering:
"Damn, a warm face turns into a cold ... Buttocks. "
If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death." Bai Shishi was instantly furious.
"Shishi, watch your mood."
Only then did Long Chen notice that Bai Shishi's mother was also there in the crowd. She shouted at Bai Shishi.
After hearing this, Bai Shishi glared fiercely at Long Chen, her expression turning cold again, no longer sparing him a glance.
"Sorry, senior, I didn't see you." Long Chen hurriedly bowed to Bai Shishi's mother.
"Yeah, when you put on new clothes, your eyes start to look up to the sky. We old folks don't flatter or flatter us—we don't even glance at you." Bai Shishi's mother looked at Long Chen with a teasing smile.
Long Chen immediately felt awkward. His previously spirited demeanor seemed a bit exaggerated, so he quickly forced a smile and said,
"Senior, you must be joking. How are you old? When the two of us stood together, people would think we were siblings."
"Long Chen, shut up." Bai Shishi's brows shot up. Long Chen was clearly taking advantage of her, making him a generation above her.
Bai Shishi's mother was speechless, shook her head, and formed a hand seal. A light screen appeared in the void, enveloping Bai Shishi. This way, Bai Shishi couldn't see her surroundings or hear their voices.
"This kid's willpower is still too weak; he can't even control his emotions. After all, he rarely suffers losses." Bai Shishi's mother couldn't help but sigh.
Long Chen felt a bit embarrassed. She was speaking to Bai Shishi, and it seemed to carry a hidden meaning, because Long Chen was even less able to control his emotions, and he was the type who only suffered losses without learning his lessons.
But Long Chen had no choice. He understood, but couldn't do it. Right now, in a great mood, the dark power within the Purgatory Eye would be hidden. But once he got angry, the dark power was like oil poured on the flames—the more he pressed, the more it burned intensely. He had no way out—no one to vent his frustrations.
Seeing Long Chen's strange expression, Bai Shishi's mother smiled: "I never said anything about you, why are you wearing that face?" "
Heh, after carefully pondering the wise words of the elders, I found every word to be precious and thought-provoking, confirming my own actions. I am deeply ashamed." Long Chen said modestly.
"He really is a smooth talker. No wonder he has so many close female friends. Times have changed, and young girls these days don't like honest people anymore." Bai Shishi's mother sighed.
"You mean I'm not being honest?" Long Chen said with a mix of amusement and helplessness.
"You have so many close female friends—can you still be considered an honest person?" Bai Shishi's mother asked in return.
"Then the Hall Master, didn't you never stick to the same path to the end? As long as they haven't been consistent from beginning to end, two or twenty thousand is just a matter of quantity; essentially, there's not much difference, right? Long Chen shrugged and said.
"Are you angry, child?" Bai Shishi's mother looked at Long Chen and smiled.
"Not at all, I wouldn't dare, but I hope you won't casually question others' feelings." Long Chen said calmly, but his expression was clearly a bit unpleasant.
In this world, nothing is absolute. Staying faithful to the end doesn't necessarily mean true love. Having a crowd of women doesn't necessarily mean being promiscuous. Whether shoes fit well is only known to the feet. If it were anyone else, Long Chen would have turned hostile long ago. But since she was Bai Shishi's mother, Long Chen could only suppress his anger.
Bai ShiShi's mother was so amused by Long Chen's words that she couldn't help but laugh, "
Alright, I'll stop joking with you. You really are exactly the same—such a quick temper and stubborn personality...
Forget it, let's not talk about it. Everyone has their own destiny, so I won't worry about you anymore. But there's one thing you must remember: when you cross the Four Extremes Tribulation, you'll face all kinds of inner demons. If you can't stay rational, when the Four Extremes choose later, it could ruin your entire life. Eventually
, Bai Shishi's mother's smile gradually faded, becoming serious, no longer joking at all.
