Chapter 290 You Are Really Difficult To Serve (Fifth Update)

Chapter 290: You're Really Difficult to Serve (Fifth Update)

Dongfang Changqing didn't know how dangerous the Dragon Transformation Palace was. In his opinion, even if he was discovered, it would only be a bit embarrassing.

Long Yi wouldn't dare to kill him. Even if he really discovered some incredible secret, with Chengguang protecting him, he had nothing to fear.

He instigated Zhang Chi to meet with Long Yi just to divert Long Yi's attention and allow himself to conduct a thorough investigation.

However, Dongfang Changqing didn't expect Zhang Chi to act so quickly. Shortly after they separated, he and Long Yan arrived at the Dragon Transformation Palace.

The place where the foreign guests resided was not far from the sect, just a short walk away.

Zhang Chi had been to the Dragon Transformation Palace before, so the guards recognized him.

But this was the first time he came with Long Yan.

Long Yan's expression carried a hint of shyness as she lagged half a step behind Zhang Chi.

There's a saying that a married woman follows her husband. Although Long Yan had a higher cultivation level and was older than Zhang Chi, she was more vulnerable when they were together.

She was used to considering Zhang Chi's feelings first in everything, so naturally, it became like this.

However, she didn't feel embarrassed at all for being a bit vulnerable in front of Zhang Chi. Even a fierce female dragon would become gentle in front of the man she admired.

But as they walked, Long Yan couldn't withstand the gazes of the Dragon Transformation Palace disciples.

Gradually, she lowered her head and walked closely beside Zhang Chi.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi suddenly stopped, and she bumped into him.

"Why did you stop?"

"This is my first time here, so shouldn't you lead the way?"

Upon hearing Zhang Chi's retort, Long Yan blushed instantly.

She knew she had done something foolish and quickly walked ahead to lead the way. She hurriedly walked, but Zhang Chi unexpectedly grabbed her right hand.

"Slow down, I can't keep up with you."

Long Yan: "!"

Zhang Chi was actually holding her hand!

But they had already decided to get married, so holding hands was reasonable, right?

However, Long Yan's heartbeat accelerated significantly.

She didn't feel any discomfort; instead, her mood became excited.

Her nervousness also dissipated a lot. Even though people were staring at her, her shyness carried a hint of pride.

This feeling was like parading around with her precious treasure, wanting to be envied by others but also fearing their covetousness.

Joy and nervousness coexisted, causing her heartbeat to remain elevated.

"Is this love?"

Long Yan was certain that it must be.

Without a doubt, she didn't know when she developed such deep feelings for Zhang Chi.

Finally, they arrived at the Golden Dragon Hall.

From the reception Zhang Chi received at the Golden Dragon Hall, it was evident that Long Yi held him in high regard.

The Dragon Transformation Palace had five main halls. The Golden Dragon Hall was where Long Yi conducted his affairs and the true center of power in the Dragon Transformation Palace.

The Purple Dragon Hall was where the Soul Lamps were enshrined, ranking second in status and serving as the base for the Purple Dragon Guards.

The Palace Master conducted affairs in the White Dragon Hall, while the Law Enforcement Hall was in the Red Dragon Hall. The Black Dragon Hall housed the external armed forces.

The Golden Dragon Hall held the highest position and was where the most important receptions took place.

And the Golden Dragon Hall is controlled by the Long family. Long Yi's actions are also a way of showing Zhang Chi that he considers him as part of the family.

For today's meeting, Zhang Chi did not make an appointment in advance. He just mentioned it to Long Yan, who then passed the message to Long Yi, and then he came over.

The process was very casual, lacking many formalities, which made them feel closer to each other.

When Zhang Chi saw Long Yi in the Golden Dragon Hall, he respectfully called out, "Uncle Long."

Seeing others being close, Zhang Chi didn't feel the need to be formal.

Seeing Zhang Chi and Long Yan holding hands, Long Yi's face also showed a smile.

Only then did Long Yan realize that she had been holding Zhang Chi's hand all this time, and she felt embarrassed.

Long Yi just laughed heartily and said, "Seeing how well you get along, I can rest assured. At least, Yan'er's future is not ruined because of me. While she takes on her own responsibilities, she can also be with the person she likes."

"Father..."

Upon hearing this teasing remark, Long Yan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

When she first learned that she had to quickly find a partner and have a child for the sake of the family's inheritance, although she quickly accepted it, she still had some resentment in her heart.

She is a person, not a tool.

But all the resentment disappeared at this moment.

Father had really considered her well, but he had always carried too much on his shoulders—the rise and fall of the Dragon Transformation Palace, the inheritance of the Long family—all of it rested on Long Yi's shoulders.

Father didn't not want to protect her, but he had reached a point where he couldn't hold on anymore.

At this moment, Long Yan fully understood.

Zhang Chi saw this and secretly sighed in his heart. Long Yan was really too naive and easy to deceive.

With such innocence, he could deceive her into having ten children.

"You are so sure that you can't get along with him? Clearly, it's a scene of fatherly love and filial piety. Hearing you say that, it feels strange."

Gu Youyou actively interacted with Zhang Chi, not disturbing the warm scene between father and daughter. She watched the show while Zhang Chi explained, saying, "To judge whether a person is a friend or a foe, you have to listen to their words, observe their actions, and consider their interests.

If a person's words and actions are inconsistent with their interests, it can only mean that they are pretending, because a person cannot go against their own interests."

Gu Youyou still didn't understand and said, "You don't have any conflicting interests with him!"

"Just talking about the surface, Long Yi wants the Dragon Transformation Palace to continue smoothly. So, he should cultivate Long Yan to be a qualified leader, someone who prioritizes the interests of the Long family and the Dragon Transformation Palace. How could he love another man?

Long Yi is definitely not someone driven by emotions, yet he allows me and Long Yan to be harmonious. This in itself speaks volumes.

I'm just a small trash at the Foundation Building Stage, with no strength or background, yet he treats me so well. Isn't there something to think about behind all this?"

Gu Youyou: "..."

When others treat you poorly, you should silently say in your heart, "Don't bully the poor young man."

When others treat you well, you suspect their ulterior motives. You're really difficult to please.

Gu Youyou was speechless and didn't comment further.

At this moment, Long Yi also looked at Zhang Chi. His time was precious, so he went straight to the main topic.

"Yan'er should have already told you about the changes in the Spark Plan. After you two get married, you can set off. Time is running out, and there's no time for a grand wedding.

But you can still invite some friends to witness your union. The disciples of the Sword Sect can also come over and stay here for a while.

If the situation changes, they can also seek refuge."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Zhang Chi readily agreed. No matter what Long Yi's intentions were, he would just go along with whatever he said.

While Zhang Chi and Long Yi were having a pleasant conversation, Dongfang Changqing intruded into the Dragon Transformation Palace...

ps: Challenge completed.
