chapter 2386 the probing of the deputy elder

long chen hadn’t expected the deputy elder to suddenly ask him such a question. it was incomprehensible, feeling to be both a random and a serious question.

“in my heart, the most important thing is my family,” said long chen.

“oh? and what is this family of yours?” asked the deputy elder.

“my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters,” said long chen.

“then if there was a conflict between them, and you could only stand on one side, how would you choose?” the deputy elder finally turned to look at long chen.

“such a thing cannot occur.”

“why not? things are always changing. who can guarantee what might happen in the future? if they end up fighting like water and fire, how would you choose?” asked the deputy elder once more with a smile.

long chen also smiled. “it is impossible. even if anything might happen in the future, our hearts won’t change. my family is tied to me. as long as i don’t die, those ties will not be destroyed. that is why i am sure that such a conflict will not occur, because i am me.”

“hahaha, a nice phrase. you are you. those words are truly arrogant. i remember someone else who said such things, but regretfully...” the deputy elder sighed.

long chen’s heart started pounding hard. he asked, “regretfully what? did that person end up in a bad place?”

the deputy elder shook his head. “we’ve gone off topic. it’s just that you really give off a similar feeling to him. we should get back to reality. this time, you did very well. however, your moves... can you not be more... aboveboard?”

the deputy elder looked at long chen with a mixed expression. his original goal was for long chen to display superior strategy and tactics to prove that he was capable of leading an army. however, long chen had instead used little tricks to con someone. that wasn’t honorable. a victory was a victory, but it would definitely be denounced by others. it wouldn’t be able to convince them of his skills.

long chen shook his head. “my father taught me that the battlefield is not for games. all techniques and tricks are allowed as long as they lead to victory. to win with the fewest sacrifices is the true way of a commander. those who sacrifice their people are second rate. true experts have a group of brothers around them to share their victory. they aren’t aloof people who enjoy the glory won from their brothers’ blood. those people are trash.”

the deputy elder was moved. “your father’s words are quite correct.”

long chen’s expression instantly sank. what was going on? was the long family going back on their word?

“don’t misunderstand. the dragonblood legion will still be allowed in,” said the deputy elder hastily.

“then what changed?”

“originally, just creating a path to the star field divine world was very difficult. however, perhaps it is because of the dark era coming, but the spatial walls have started to weaken. it was much easier to create the connection this time. we have found that we no longer need to limit the number of people entering. that is why i must apologize to you,” said the deputy elder.

originally, the plan was that a single sect or power could have at most five hundred spots to enter the star field divine world. that was why people had been jealous that the entire dragonblood legion could enter.

that matter had caused quite the fuss even within the divine families. several meetings had been held, with the ye family in particular opposing this plan.

however, now there was no need to limit people. this accident caught them off guard. for the long family, it meant that asking long chen to guard against the yin yang world on his own for three days had been for nothing. even if he hadn’t, he still would have gotten the award that they had promised him.

that truly felt like a scam, but this was something that they hadn’t expected. hence, long chen could only helplessly accept. “fine, i’ll just treat it as the heavens playing a joke on me.”

“it really is a bad joke. but no one could have predicted this. since this matter was started by the long family, we are going to give you a crystal card with three hundred thousand points on it. you can go to the treasury to buy what you want. it can count as a bit of compensation.” the deputy elder handed long chen a crystal card.

“it was an accident. how could i accept?” although that was what came out of long chen’s mouth, the crystal card had entered his pocket.

three hundred thousand points. that was a shocking amount. it just so happened that long chen was interested in what the divine families had.

“you can go now. the star field divine world has its own dangers. you’ll definitely find things that can help you in the treasury,” said the deputy elder.

long chen nodded and left. one of the long family’s disciples guided him, and he entered a transportation formation.

after the transportation formation activated and he walked out, he just so happened to see a group of people walking by. seeing one of them, with almost no hesitation at all, long chen raised his hand and slapped him.

“did i say you could not wear a hat?”
