Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 692 693: Long Ling'Er's Family Affairs

What's happening?

My Divine Dragon Tail Swing just vanished like that? I had been preparing it for five seconds!

"No more words to say now, huh?" Xiao Tianyu said seriously.

"This beauty keeps her promises. Wait for me for two years, and once I'm of age, I'll definitely marry you, hmph..."

"..." Xiao Tianyu looked at Long Ling'Er helplessly. Does this little girl have to be so serious? Marry me? Don't joke around, okay? So Xiao Tianyu said, "I'm heading out first!"

"Wait..."

"Is there something else?"

"Do you not want to marry me?"

"You're still young, you don't understand. You don't have to take it seriously!"

"No way!"

"..." Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu looked at Long Ling'Er strangely, "How about this, from now on, you can be my sister, is that okay?"

"Really?" Long Ling'Er jumped up, "No take-backs!"

"No take-backs!"

"Pinky promise!" Long Ling'Er said seriously, "For a hundred years, no changes!"

"..." Kids, just kids.

After the pinky promise, Long Ling'Er said to Xiao Tianyu, "I said before, after you beat me, you can choose any secret manual here!"

"Still choosing?" Xiao Tianyu was a bit confused, "I already said all of these are garbage!"

"Really!"

"Mm!" Xiao Tianyu nodded seriously.

"Then give me one!"

"..." Got tricked by this little girl again? Xiao Tianyu felt bewildered. He wanted to say, could we be a bit more honest and a bit less scheming?

But Long Ling'Er continued, "You said all the secret manuals here are garbage, so you must have something better, and now that I'm your sister, you have to give a meeting gift, right?"

Poof~

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu spat out old blood, looking at Long Ling'Er helplessly, while Long Ling'Er blinked her beautiful eyes, showing a trace of pride. Now Xiao Tianyu had no reason to refuse.

So Xiao Tianyu nodded, "Alright!"

As the voice fell, Xiao Tianyu's hand produced a Golden Ancient Page. There was no aura flowing from the ancient page, but it shone brightly, quite dazzling, and the ancient martial energy in the heavens and earth seemed to rush towards the Golden Ancient Page like crazy.

"What's this?" Long Ling'Er asked.

"A secret manual!" After saying this, Xiao Tianyu handed the Golden Ancient Page to Long Ling'Er, who took it, glanced at it, Nine Transformations of the Stars?

Indeed, the name of this secret manual is Nine Transformations of the Stars, consisting of nine forms, containing the great meaning of the dao between heaven and earth, obviously not of mortal grade, possibly even surpassing celestial level.

Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes flickered, "What level is this cultivation technique?"

"Supreme Level, I guess!"

Poof~

Upon hearing this, Long Ling'Er spat out old blood, her beautiful eyes glaring at Xiao Tianyu, "Brother Xiao, can we not brag?"

Supreme Level, Supreme Ultimate Realm cultivation technique, and it's so easy for you to get? And you're so generous to give it to me? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old? I'm already sixteen!

No wonder Long Ling'Er didn't believe it. Supreme Ultimate Realm experts in the Ancient Martial Realm are said to be legendary; no one has appeared until now. Therefore, Supreme Ultimate Realm cultivation techniques are exceedingly rare, even the Five Great Institutes may not be able to produce one.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Xiao Tianyu shrugged and continued, "When cultivating this technique, be sure to proceed step by step. Don't rush for success, understand?"

"Got it!" Long Ling'Er pouted, putting away the Golden Ancient Page, then grabbed Xiao Tianyu and continued, "Brother Xiao, come with me!"

"Where to?"

"To drink!"

"..." This... This little girl is only sixteen, and she's already drinking? So misbehaved.

As they walked out of the Library Pavilion, a few middle-aged men waiting outside followed. Long Ling'Er stopped in her tracks, her beautiful eyes glared at the guards, "Can you not follow me like this? In the Dragon Garden, could anything really happen to me?"

"Miss, sorry, the Long Family is in a very tense period now, we're forced to do this!" The leading middle-aged man bowed.

"This is Dragon Garden. Does Long Ao dare send people to capture me?" Long Ling'Er's eyes flashed with coldness, but the guards remained unmoved, standing there still, taking a step whenever she did.

"You guys are really annoying!" Long Ling'Er said displeased.

"Sorry, Miss, it's our duty!"

"Forget it!" Long Ling'Er waved her hand, pulled Xiao Tianyu and continued walking. Soon the two arrived at a pavilion. Long Ling'Er made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Xiao, sit!"

"Mm!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, sitting across from Long Ling'Er.

As for the guards who were protecting Long Ling'Er, they stood fifty meters away, quietly guarding. Long Ling'Er spoke to one of the middle-aged men, "Prepare me a few jars of fine wine!"

"How many jars?" Xiao Tianyu was taken aback.

Soon, a guard brought up three jars of fine wine, placed them on the table, and retreated respectfully. Xiao Tianyu looked at Long Ling'Er strangely, who opened all three jars and handed one to Xiao Tianyu.

"Brother Xiao, I toast you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu was a bit bewildered. He asked, "Don't we have any cups?"

"Do you have any masculine spirit?" Long Ling'Er gave Xiao Tianyu a sidelong glance, causing Xiao Tianyu to be speechless. He wanted to ask, does drinking directly from the jar show masculinity? This isn't an ancient martial arts drama, okay?

But in the next moment, Xiao Tianyu saw Long Ling'Er using both hands to raise the jar, gulping down the wine, leaving Xiao Tianyu utterly frustrated. How could a little girl be this good at drinking?

Is it really that Long Ling'Er can drink? Not really. Half a month ago, Long Ling'Er couldn't drink at all. But now due to the Long Family's changes, her dad being poisoned and lying on the bed, most of the family's power being controlled by Long Ao, and worrying about her parents' safety, she turned to drink to forget her sorrows.

Sure enough, after half a jar, Long Ling'Er's face was flushed, rather cute.

"Brother Xiao, drink!" Long Ling'Er raised her jar at Xiao Tianyu, but the jar was grabbed by Xiao Tianyu, "That's not how you drink wine; you're getting drunk!"

"I... I'm not drunk yet!" Long Ling'Er shook her cute little head and continued, "Drink!"

"Don't drink anymore!" Xiao Tianyu held the jar down, saying, "Learning to drink at such a young age isn't good, listen to me, don't drink!"

"I want to get drunk!" Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes sparkled, "When I'm drunk, I won't know anything!"

"You're so young, what do you understand?" Xiao Tianyu said rather speechlessly.

"I understand perfectly!"

Hiccup~

Long Ling'Er let out a hiccup, "Brother Xiao, have you ever experienced the pain of saying goodbye to your loved ones?"

"Have you experienced it?" Xiao Tianyu glanced at Long Ling'Er.

"Of course!" Long Ling'Er nodded her little head, saying, "I was once the young lady of the Long Family, pampered by my parents, willful and unrestrained. But after half a month, everything left me. Now my father is poisoned, lying on the bed; my mother is under house arrest. Most of the family's power is controlled by my cousin. The Long Family is in turbulent times, and I can't do anything for my parents, so I can only drink to forget my worries. Once my parents told me, as long as they're here, I don't need to cultivate, just be happy. But now... Brother Xiao, am I really useless?"
