Chapter 695 696: Don't Want to Drag You In
We must understand, in the Ancient Martial Realm, Supreme Level cultivation technique manuals are as rare as phoenix feathers. Even the Five Great Institutes may not possess one, yet Long Ling'Er is now cultivating one. Even if it's not a Supreme Level technique, it must at least be at the Saint Heaven Level.
If such a cultivation technique were to be leaked, it would inevitably cause bloodshed, and it might even lead to the downfall of the Long Family.
Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes flashed as she looked at Long Tianxiang with some confusion, but she still spoke, "Understood, Grand Uncle!"
"Hm!" Long Tianxiang nodded with satisfaction, his calloused right hand gently caressing Long Ling'Er's beautiful hair, and said, "There is one more thing you must remember!"
"What is it?" Long Ling'Er asked.
"Before you join the Emperor Star Academy, you must never reveal your cultivation technique in front of others. Even after you join the Emperor Star Academy, you must be cautious. Also, it's best not to cultivate this technique at night, as it's too easy to expose yourself. Even if you do cultivate it, make sure it's in your room, understand?"
Long Tianxiang was thinking for Long Ling'Er's sake. After all, when she was cultivating the technique just now, she was dazzlingly bright, with the starlight on her body shooting straight to the sky, easily exposing her and attracting the attention of those with ill intentions.
"Why is Grand Uncle being so cautious?" Long Ling'Er blinked her beautiful eyes, indicating she did not understand. She continued, "Is this technique very special?"
"Hm!" Long Tianxiang nodded and couldn't help but ask, "Did your brother Xiao say what level this technique is?"
"Yes!" Long Ling'Er pursed her lips and said, "He said it was Supreme Level, but he's just someone who likes to boast. I don't take his words seriously!"
What, Supreme Level?
Is it really Supreme Level?
Long Tianxiang's heart trembled, seemingly not hearing Long Ling'Er's latter words. Previously, he had guessed that this technique might be Supreme Level, but he wasn't sure. Now, hearing Long Ling'Er say this, a storm surged in his heart.
Whether Xiao Tianyu was boasting, Long Tianxiang knew well enough.
The brother Xiao that Long Ling'Er mentioned, who exactly is he? Could he be the Saint Child of one of the Institutes? Under the heavens, only the Saint Children of the Five Great Institutes would likely have access to such techniques. But why did he give this terrifying technique away so easily? Could it be that his family possesses many such techniques?
Long Tianxiang thought this, and it wasn't without reason, because Xiao Tianyu appeared to be only in his twenties on the surface, so he could only guess that Xiao Tianyu might be a Saint Child from an institute.
Regardless of Xiao Tianyu's identity, Long Tianxiang believed that having such a friend was a great fortune for Long Ling'Er.
Seeing Long Tianxiang in a daze, Ling'Er blinked her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Grand Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Long Tianxiang shook his head, giving a kindly smile to Long Ling'Er, "It's getting late, you should rest!"
"Alright!" Long Ling'Er nodded, showing a cute expression, "Goodnight, Grand Uncle, see you tomorrow!"
With that, Long Ling'Er left the scene. Long Tianxiang watched her leaving figure, a look of contemplation on his face, intending to probe more about Xiao Tianyu, but eventually decided against it.
If he upset Xiao Tianyu, it might affect his relationship with Long Ling'Er.
...
Early the next morning.
Bang bang bang~
Xiao Tianyu was woken up by the sound of knocking at the door early in the morning, leaving him with a helpless expression. Even without guessing, he knew it was Long Ling'Er, so he got up, washed up a bit, and then opened the door and walked out of the room.
"Lazybones!" Long Ling'Er, with her hands in her pockets, glanced at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes, looking very cute.
"What time is it?" Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Long Ling'Er. It was barely dawn. Seriously, even the old ladies doing Tai Chi on the street weren't up yet.
"I'm going home!" Suddenly, tears glistened in Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes, "So, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"
"Did something happen?" Xiao Tianyu asked.
"I just got a call this morning that my father's poisoning has worsened and he's in critical condition, so I have to hurry back. It might be that I will never see you, Brother Xiao, again. Oh, tonight, please send my regards to Sister-in-law. I can't attend Sister-in-law's birthday party..."
As she spoke, tears fell from Long Ling'Er's eyes.
Long Ling'Er continued, "Brother Xiao, may I hug you?"
"Sure!" Xiao Tianyu gave a gentle smile and embraced Long Ling'Er in his arms, Long Ling'Er murmured, "This feeling, is so nice!"
"If it feels good, then hold on a little longer!" Xiao Tianyu said.
"Hm!" Long Ling'Er nodded, closing her eyes, silently enjoying the feeling of being cherished.
Five minutes later, Long Ling'Er looked up, giving a sweet smile, "Alright, goodbye Brother Xiao!"
"Aren't you going to invite me over to your house?" Xiao Tianyu asked.
"No!" Long Ling'Er shook her head.
"Why?"
"I don't want to drag Brother Xiao into this!" With that, Long Ling'Er said to her bodyguard beside her, "Let's go!"
Turning around, tears glistened in Long Ling'Er's eyes again. She knew clearly that this farewell could mean never seeing Xiao Tianyu again, because she knew the current situation of the Long Family. Long Ao might not let her go, but she must return, as her parents are still there.
However, just after taking two steps, Long Ling'Er suddenly felt a large hand placed on her fragrant shoulder, turning around, she saw Xiao Tianyu giving her a gentle smile.
"Brother Xiao!"
"I'm not afraid of being a burden!" Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, "Maybe there's a way I can cure your father's poison, who knows!"
"Even if you have a way, I won't let you go!" Long Ling'Er said firmly.
She knew clearly that this journey might cost Xiao Tianyu his life, so she didn't want Xiao Tianyu to risk himself for her Long Family, even if Xiao Tianyu had some strength. After all, the opposition the Long Family faced now could very well be the Heaven Slayer Academy.
"Dragon!" At this moment, a voice from the Azure Dragon came, and Long Ling'Er turned her beautiful eyes, "Grand Uncle!"
"Hm!" Long Tianxiang nodded, his gaze falling on Xiao Tianyu, trying to see through him, but he discovered Xiao Tianyu seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious radiance.
The reason he couldn't see through Xiao Tianyu was down to two possibilities: either Xiao Tianyu's cultivation far surpassed Long Tianxiang's, or Xiao Tianyu had cultivated some secret technique, hence the obscurity.
Whether it was the former or the latter, he felt Xiao Tianyu was very mysterious, his identity and background possibly incredibly daunting.
Of course, Long Tianxiang also didn't believe Xiao Tianyu was the former, due to Xiao Tianyu's age being evident.
Subsequently, Long Tianxiang spoke to Xiao Tianyu, "Mr. Xiao, hello!"
Yesterday when he saw Xiao Tianyu, he didn't give it much thought, but today was different.
