seeing long chen’s sudden change in expression, fang chang, chai liehuo, and the others became curious. what was long chen doing? were those two names really so shocking?
but all of them guessed that long chen was taking this chance to do some boot-licking. most likely, he would praise their names for being imposing and amazing.
“long san, what’s wrong?” asked fang chang.
what good names! no, excellent names! long chen’s head rapidly worked. he definitely had to give these two names a good title.
“cough, when i encountered those people from the huo family, one of them shouted a slogan,” said long chen.
“what slogan could cause you to be this shocked? and what does this slogan have to do with our names?” asked fang chang.
“i remember it was this: screw chai liehuo, damn fang chang, pill yang prefecture’s sole master is huo wufang.” long chen frowned, trying to remember the exact phrase.[1]
hearing this, chai liehuo and fang chang turned green. everyone was silent.
“maybe i misheard? the voice from the huo family’s man wasn’t very clear. maybe i did hear wrong. back then, i was extremely curious. what idiot would make up such a garbage slogan? it doesn’t rhyme, and it doesn’t flow off the tongue. but now hearing your names, it kind of seems...” long chen suddenly shut his mouth.
“this huo wufang is getting more and more arrogant! hmph, if only long chen had killed him back then!” shouted chai liehuo hatefully.
hearing that, long chen almost jumped. they knew his name? how?
“everyone can continue eating. chai liehuo, long san, and i are going next door to drink some tea.” the three of them found a private room. an attendant came to pour them tea.
“i, fang chang, don’t have many strong points. when i handle things, i just do what i like to do. in the same way, i make friends based on my personal preference.
“you can also tell that i treat you differently than the others. they are subordinates i coaxed over. both sides benefit. they care about my fang family’s position and the resources we can offer them, while my fang family cares about their talent. pulling them in strengthens our power. it could be said to be just cooperation.
“but you are different. in my opinion, anyone skilled in face-slapping is a straightforward man who doesn’t like to conceal his true self. furthermore... your face-slapping divine ability is something i truly admire.
“most importantly, the fact that you could teach me its divine essence without even knowing who i was, without seeking fame or profit, makes me think of you as a friend.
“however, now i find you’re actually a genius alchemist. that is extremely unexpected, but i hope this change in your status won’t affect our relationship,” said fang chang.
“brother fang, the kindness you’ve given me is something i’m well aware of. the reason i’ve joined you isn’t because i care about your fang family’s strength, but because i admire your character,” said long chen.
“good, that’s the most trustworthy way. let’s use our tea as wine, and toast.” chai liehuo clapped. long san’s character was truly rare.
“don’t worry, i understand. although i haven’t had any contact with the huo family, i can tell they aren’t anything good from the vile actions of their subordinates,” said long chen.
“that’s right. from top to bottom, the huo family is all trash. the heavens really have been blind to allow the huo family to have so many talented alchemists,” said fang chang.
“what? does the huo family have a lot of talented people?” asked long chen.
“it’s not that. it’s just that they’re absolutely shameless. whenever they run into any talented alchemists, they will secretly bring them into their family and raise them. they’ll change that person’s surname to huo, turning them into a member of the huo family.
“once they mature, if they’re sent to pill valley, they’ll naturally say that they’re from the huo family’s main bloodline, and so it will make the huo family seem very innately talented. in truth, they’re just shameless to the peak,” raged chai liehuo.
he clearly looked down on such actions. but the world was like this. there were many shameless people who relied on their shamelessness to succeed.
“the huo family’s people really are degenerates. they actually intentionally had their subordinates insult you two. how can that be allowed? although they might not be spreading their slogan yet, i trust that it won’t be long before it circulates everywhere throughout the city. even the kids on the streets will be singing it. it’s too despicable! plus, that last phrase, doesn’t it mean that in the future, there will only be the huo family? too arrogant!” cried long chen through clenched teeth.
although this slogan was something long chen had made up, he trusted the two of them wouldn’t go investigate it. furthermore, all long chen had said was that he thought he had heard someone mutter it. he hadn’t said who.
“hmph, it seems the huo family wants to use this chance to reverse the tides and regain all the losses they have suffered recently. i want to see just what game they’re planning this time,” sneered fang chang.
“brother fang, don’t worry. i’ll definitely help you handle the huo family. it’s not just for you, but for me, for righteousness! we have to get rid of these despicable people!”
within long chen’s solemn oath, the only sincere part was that it really was for him.
“good brother! i won’t say any meaningless polite words. this time, let’s have a proper fight with the huo family!” fang chang patted long chen’s shoulder.
the reason he had explained all this was to make long chen feel like he treated him as a trustworthy aide. he had even been planning on displaying more power to give long chen enough confidence.
but long chen only listened to half of his planned speech. all he managed to say was how powerful the huo family was, but it seemed long chen wasn’t intimidated. without hesitation, he stood by his side to fight with the huo family. fang chang was incredibly moved.
even chai liehuo felt envy for fang chang’s luck. he had picked up such a treasure through a random stroll, and this treasure was so devoted to him.
“don’t worry, long san. my fang family and the chai family are allied. the chai family is in charge of everything required for alchemy. as long as you have enough talent, we can definitely turn you into a generation’s alchemy prodigy. we’ll give the huo family a vicious punch,” said fang chang confidently.
“a punch might be strong, but i feel like a slap would be the most satisfying.” long chen laughed sinisterly.
“hahaha, yes, yes! a slap in the face would be the best! then we’ll get to see them stamp with fury, hahaha!” laughed fang chang.
long chen also laughed with him, filled with delight. things were progressing even more smoothly than he had anticipated.
“that’s right, you said something about huo wufang almost dying to long chen? what happened there?” long chen asked. he wanted to know about huo wufang’s situation.
