Chapter 72 -72 Long Chen’s Decision

After finishing, Ye Zhen looked at Long Chen with an expectant face.

He hoped Long Chen would agree. If Long Chen joined the Dragon Palace, their power would receive a mighty increase.

Moreover, Long Chen’s medical skills were exactly what the Dragon Palace urgently needed.

Seeing Long Chen considering, Ye Zhen said in a serious tone, “Mr. Long, if you are worried about financial matters, the treatment offered by the Dragon Palace is not low.

First, the Dragon Palace can let you pick villas at will in various parts of Great Xia.

Second, a guaranteed monthly salary of five million, with various bonuses available, how to obtain those, once you’ve joined the Dragon Palace, will be made known to you.

Third, a change of identity will allow you to move freely throughout Great Xia, and no one except for the Dragon Palace will dare to touch you.”

“Is the Dragon Palace the place that controls the martial fate of Great Xia?”

asked Long Chen.

Ye Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn’t help but clap his hands, “Mr. Long is indeed extremely intelligent. Your understanding is also correct, but the Dragon Palace only serves Great Xia, to protect our home and country.”

“Please give me three days to consider this, Mr. Ye. After all, this is no small matter,” said Long Chen.

“Alright, I will come back here to find you in three days, hoping that by then, Mr. Long will have made up his mind,” replied Ye Zhen.

“Okay.”

Long Chen nodded.

“Oh, and Mr. Long,” Ye Zhen added, “I will say one more thing, our Hall Master’s cultivation is unfathomable. If you could become his closed-door disciple, perhaps you would avoid many detours and step into a new world.”

With that, Ye Zhen took his leave.

Long Chen closed his eyes in deep thought, heavily conflicted.

This was indeed a rare opportunity for him.

He did not know whether or not he should agree.

“What are you thinking about?”

Zhao Churan came down from the second floor, nestling in Long Chen’s arms.

“Churan, what if I went to a mysterious place for further training and didn’t come back or contact you for three months? Would you and Yuechan agree?” asked Long Chen.

“I don’t know if Li Yuechan would agree, but I definitely would,” Zhao Churan said. “Life is so long, three months is just a blink of an eye. It will pass quickly.

Though I would feel heavy-hearted, if there’s an opportunity for progress, you must seize it. Of course, if it were for three years, that I definitely wouldn’t agree to,” said Zhao Churan.

“I really need to think about this.”

Long Chen gave a bitter smile.

Zhao Churan looked at Long Chen, already understanding the implied meaning of his words.

“If you want to go, just go. Don’t have any concerns. I’ll wait for you obediently,” she giggled, “and I certainly won’t find any other men. Aside from you, no one else catches my eye.”

Zhao Churan said with a light laugh.

“Is that so? Then I will have to check thoroughly,” he said.

“Aiya, you’re being annoying, stop it, hehehe.”

…

The next morning, Long Chen and Zhao Churan each went to work.

Long Chen called Li Yuechan to tell her he had returned.

What Long Chen didn’t expect was that Li Yuechan swiftly arrived at the clinic.

At that moment, Long Chen was treating someone and could not attend to Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan, clearly dressed with care, did not disturb Long Chen further and quietly sat to one side.

Two hours later, Long Chen finally finished and let out a long sigh of relief.

“Jiang Tong, continue to schedule the remaining patients for tomorrow, have them all come together,” said Long Chen.

“There are still five left. Are you sure you want to call all of them at once, Brother Long?” asked Jiang Tong carefully.

“Yes, call them all together,” replied Long Chen.

“Alright.”

Jiang Tong made a note of the order.

Long Chen then walked over to Li Yuechan and led her up to the third floor.

Li Yuechan looked at Long Chen and couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you seem so weighed down with thoughts?”

“I indeed have something to discuss with you. Let’s talk inside the room,” said Long Chen.

In a moment, the two entered the bedroom.

“Go on,”

said Li Yuechan, looking at Long Chen.

“If I were to leave for three months to train in a place I cannot tell you about, would you agree?” Long Chen asked softly.

“What do you mean?” Li Yuechan immediately became anxious. “What kind of place can’t you tell me about?”

“Do you still remember the last time Li Yueyue was taken to the KTV by Gu Tai?” Long Chen said, “That time, I actually killed someone, but afterwards, I didn’t run into any trouble at all. Do you know why?”

“No… I don’t know.”

Li Yuechan was taken aback.

“It’s because there was a mysterious power that helped me suppress it, and now, they want me to join them.”

“Long Chen, you absolutely can’t join any dark forces. I don’t want you to become that kind of person,” Li Yuechan’s face turned pale.

“Thinking too much.” Long Chen smiled, “They are all righteous people serving Great Xia. They want me to join them too, and it’s definitely not about doing anything illegal or disorderly.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Only three months?”

“Mhm.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s normal to keep things confidential wherever you go. What are you thinking?” Li Yuechan sat back down, staring at Long Chen.

“I’m not sure yet,” Long Chen sighed.

“What’s there to think about? Look at you, you’re obviously very tempted. Go, and when you return, we can remarry,” Li Yuechan said softly.

“Yuechan…”

“Ah, don’t say cheesy stuff, okay? It’s just three months, not three years; no need to worry.”

Li Yuechan gave Long Chen a sidelong glance.

“Why do you talk like Zhao Churan?”

“Eh? I got it, you came back last night, didn’t you? Last night, were you on Zhao Churan’s bed?”

“Cough cough, no,” Long Chen hastily denied.

He couldn’t admit it even if it killed him!

“Hehe, good lord, some people have been lost in joy since that thing, and you just wait,” Li Yuechan gritted her teeth.

To say she wasn’t jealous would be a lie.

“Yuechan.”

Long Chen took Li Yuechan’s hand gently, “Be good, stop it.”

“Hmph, you’re now more in love with her than with me, and it hurts,” Li Yuechan’s eyes brimmed with tears.

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I’ll make it up to you in the future,” Long Chen comforted softly.

“You said it, you have to make it up to me.”

“Deal, pinky promise.”

“Childish.”

They smiled at each other.

And at that moment, Long Chen made up his mind.

Since the opportunity had come knocking, why not give it a try?

Long Chen was very curious about the mysterious energy within him.

Maybe by going to Dragon Palace, he could find the correct way to use the mysterious energy more perfectly.

He could also learn authentic Martial Arts and acquire various knowledge he had not yet come into contact with.

The chance to become stronger was something Long Chen really didn’t want to miss.

After a while, Long Chen took Li Yuechan back to the Li Family.

Li Yuechan wanted Long Chen to stay, but he did not agree because he was worried about Zhao Churan’s safety and wanted to pick her up from work personally.

On his way to pick up Zhao Churan, Long Chen called Long Xue’er, whom he hadn’t contacted for a long time.

“Brother, finally thought to call your sister? Miss me?”

Long Xue’er sounded very happy.

“Mhm, I’ve missed you,” Long Chen said softly.

“Hehe, such a bad brother, only now remembering you have a sister.”

“Xue’er, how have you been out there?” Long Chen asked quietly.

As he spoke, he was filled with emotion.

He had originally thought his sister was picked up and raised by their grandfather, and so Long Chen had always been especially caring towards Long Xue’er, but he never imagined that he himself wasn’t actually his grandfather’s biological grandson.

“Brother, there are some things I want to say to you in person, things that are unclear over the phone. I’ve been pondering about it. Whenever you call me, that’s when I’ll come back to see you. How about this, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“You silly girl, you really are clever and mischievous. Then come back tomorrow, brother wants to see you too, I also have things to tell you,” Long Chen said with a laugh.

“Hehe, okay then. Oh, by the way, how are things with sister-in-law?”

“Let’s talk about it when we see each other tomorrow. Hanging up now.”
