The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Long Chen’s words had barely left his lips when they provoked rolls of eyes.

"You bastard, what kind of way is that to talk?"

Li Yuechan ground her teeth in anger.

Zhao Churan bit her lip, her eyes rimmed with redness as she said, "Long Chen, you can’t talk to us this way, it makes us very sad."

"That’s right, Long Chen, don’t be like this." Xia Ling said seriously, "Don’t keep saying things like that. We’re all your people, all of us women are risking our lives to think of ways to protect our Dragon Shadow. How can you so easily say you want to leave?"

Seeing the fluctuation in the emotions of the three women, Long Chen also realized that there was something wrong with what he had said.

"Sorry, I didn’t consider your feelings just now, it was my fault."

Long Chen gave a bitter smile.

Xia Ling took a deep breath and said, "We don’t want you to apologize, after all, we are a family. We just hope that we can discuss whatever matters behind closed doors, but no matter what, you can’t just abandon any of us. I believe you’re not that kind of man."

As she spoke these words, there was a hint of sadness in Xia Ling’s eyes.

Because Xia Ling thought, if Long Chen hadn’t lost his memory, then she wouldn’t have needed to say all this at all.

Without memory loss, Long Chen would never have said such things about leaving or staying.

He would be wholly focused on thinking of ways to protect them! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

But Xia Ling wouldn’t speak about this.

Still, Long Chen could guess as much.

After taking a deep breath, Long Chen said in a deep voice, "I will recover my memory as quickly as possible."

Having said that, Long Chen stood up and left the Dragon Shadow Group building for the time being.

Long Chen was very clear in his heart that without recovering his memory, there would always seem to be an invisible barrier between him and Xia Ling and the others.

That barrier would always appear at critical moments, making Long Chen extremely uncomfortable.

Outside, on the streets, the autumn wind whistled, the drizzle was continuous, and the weather had become quite cool, with many passersby already wearing coats.

Long Chen walked on the street with a slightly furrowed brow, pondering how exactly he should fully recover his memory.

...

On the other side, Zhao Kai rushed back to the Heavenly God Temple branch in a hurry to find his superior, Xu Fu.

Xu Fu only glanced at Zhao Kai before noticing that Zhao Kai’s cultivation had completely vanished.

In that instant, Xu Fu had some guesses.

But Xu Fu still held a sliver of hope as he asked, "What’s the situation?"

Zhao Kai hung his head, and with a bitter tone, said, "Lord Xu, I am very sorry, we failed. That kid named Long Chen is tough to deal with. He killed the Elder who accompanied me and also disabled my cultivation. I see that Long Chen has no intention of having a friendly dialogue with us, but rather seems to want to start a war with us directly."

"Useless."

Xu Fu was furious.

Yet Xu Fu’s voice was not loud, for fear of being heard by the ’Young Master’ in the office.

"Lord Xu, it truly wasn’t our negligence, that Long Chen is stubborn, showing absolutely no interest in our cultivation techniques and magic techniques, and he resorted to fighting at the first disagreement. We were simply no match for him."

Zhao Kai hastily explained.

Xu Fu took a deep breath and said, "Get out of here for now. I need to think about how to explain this to the Young Master."

"Yes, yes, Lord Xu, I’ll leave right away."

Zhao Kai said, hurrying out.

"Wait a moment."

At that time, a young man appeared.

This young man was the helmsman of the Heavenly God Temple’s branch in Qianzhou.

He was the biological son of the Hall Master of the Heavenly God Temple, not the true Young Master of Heavenly God Temple, commonly called the Third Young Master.

However, subordinates like Xu Fu, in order to curry favor with him, often addressed him as Young Master.

The young man’s arrival instantly scared Zhao Kai’s face white: "I greet you, Young Master."

"Young Master?" The young man laughed: "To think that I could become the Young Master with you fools under me is the real wonder. Right, Elder Xu Fu?"

Hearing this, Xu Fu also felt a sudden chill in his heart and hurriedly bowed to apologize: "Young Master, it is my negligence. Please punish me as you see fit."

"First, get rid of your subordinate who has already become useless. If I don’t see him, I won’t be troubled," the young man said indifferently.

"Yes."

Xu Fu immediately took action.

Poor Zhao Kai didn’t even have the chance to cry out before he met his end right there on the spot.

After the deed was done, Xu Fu immediately said: "Young Master, rest assured, no matter what means I must employ, I will do everything within my power to obtain Dragon Shadow Group’s Elixir Formula. I am willing to make a military pledge that if..."

"Enough. Don’t bother making any military pledges to me. Even if you take action yourself, you won’t be able to handle that Long Chen. It seems now only by my personal intervention will this work," the young man slowly said.

Hearing this, Xu Fu was overjoyed: "Young Master, if you personally take action, it is almost certain to succeed."

"That’s not necessarily so. Go yourself to find that Long something or other. Do not threaten him, do not resort to violence, and especially do not mention the matters concerning the deceased Gao Qiu and Zhao Kai. Try to convey good intentions and arrange a meeting for me. Tomorrow at noon, I will see him."

"Young Master, for the sake of those Elixir Formulas, we’ve already lost three powerful warriors. If we fail again, what should we do?" Xu Fu said solemnly.

"Are you doubting my capabilities?" the young man asked, smiling yet not smiling as he stared at Xu Fu.

Startled, Xu Fu quickly waved his hands: "No, no. Young Master, what I mean to say is that Long Chen is not easily persuaded. If we don’t resort to force, it may be very difficult to succeed."

"You are mistaken," the young man said. "Every person has weaknesses. Find the weakness, and you can easily deal with them. Don’t worry about these things for now. Just go and arrange the meeting. If he agrees to meet, tell him the place is Orchid Square at six o’clock in the morning."

"As you command."

Xu Fu bowed and left promptly.

About an hour later, Long Chen received a call from Xia Ling.

Xia Ling informed Long Chen that someone from the Heavenly God Temple had come to the company again.

"Hold on, I’m coming back right away."

Without hesitation, Long Chen took only a few minutes to rush back to the company and met with the recently arrived Xu Fu.

Seeing Long Chen, Xu Fu was surprised.

This young man in front of him looked even younger than the Third Young Master.

Yet this young Long Chen created the behemoth Dragon Shadow Group single-handedly, and in terms of combat power, he could easily kill Gao Qiu, suppress Zhao Kai, and even cut down the Elder with considerable cultivation. This showed how terrifying and formidable Long Chen’s potential and power were, not to be underestimated.

After Xu Fu collected himself, he smiled and said relaxedly: "You must be Mr. Long, right? Mr. Long, the Third Young Master of the Heavenly God Temple would like to meet with you tomorrow morning to discuss some matters. May I ask if Mr. Long would honor us with his presence?"

"Is your face that big?" Long Chen smiled: "Also, are you certain you’re not here to seek revenge for those who died from your Heavenly God Temple?"

"This..." Xu Fu’s expression stiffened, but then he quickly said: "The Third Young Master has said that those who died lacked manners and truly deserved death, so he really doesn’t mind at all."
