this angry roar shook all their eardrums. long chen and mo nian put down their wine jugs. looking out the window, they saw dozens of experts on the road outside, blocking the entrance to the restaurant.

the crowded street was silent as people fled into the distance, afraid of being implicated.

these bystanders all saw that these experts’ expressions were extremely gloomy. the person roaring was the giant eagle stronghold’s master, a peak xiantian expert, luo yingxiong.

“what’s going on? was luo zhongsheng killed?”

“no way! who would kill the future inheritor of the giant eagle stronghold?”

“long chen? why does that name sound familiar? what’s going on?”

countless people were hiding in the distance, stealthily watching the aggressive luo yingxiong. they were filled with shock.

many people had seen mo gate’s junior master enter this restaurant with a group of other people. now that luo yingxiong was blocking the restaurant, it seemed today’s matter would be extremely big.

right now, rumors were drifting about qingzhou city that mo gate had offended some major figure and was declining. the three great powers of qing prefecture were being supported by someone and were beginning to devour mo gate’s territory.

right now, mo gate and those three powers were filled with hostility towards each other. now that luo yingxiong had come here with killing intent, it seemed great waves were about to arise within qing prefecture.

“who is that person? it seems he’s calling me?” long chen was already slightly drunk now.

“he’s the giant eagle stronghold’s master, luo zhongsheng’s father, luo yingxiong,” explained mu xue worriedly. it was obvious luo yingxiong had come to get revenge for his son.

“luo yingxiong? this name really is shameless[1]. no wonder he gave birth to such a shameless son. so it was hereditary.” long chen curled his lip, feeling this name to be extremely untrue.

“luo yingxiong, don’t make such a racket in front of my restaurant. you’ll affect my business!” shouted mo nian.

the muxue mercenary unit’s members’ expressions became odd. did this restaurant have any business to affect?

however, they did have to admire their courage. that was a peak xiantian expert, the level of qing prefecture’s top sect leaders. yet, they managed to treat him like a disobedient dog.

“mo nian, this matter has nothing to do with you! it’d be best for you to not interfere, as your mo gate is no longer the old mo gate! be careful of the day your mo gate collapses,” luo yingxiong shouted back at mo nian. “today, i came to find long chen to get revenge for my son. this matter has nothing to do with your mo gate, so if you dare interfere, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

mo nian was furious. how was this matter unrelated to mo gate? they were the ones that had targeted mo gate, not wanting him to be able to obtain the hidden ground spider’s core.

he was about to say something when long chen stopped him. “how come i feel like you like to fight with words all the time? if everything could be solved by talking reasonably, what would be the point of cultivating?”

mo nian agreed with him. even if he said that this was all because the giant eagle stronghold was targeting mo gate, there was no proof. what could he do?

“sigh, this child. mo nian’s guts are still too small. he needs more tempering.”

in a private room within the restaurant across the street, a tall elder was sitting in his chair, sighing with disappointment.

“there are two reasons i can’t hand mo gate to you. you are strong, and you’ve already touched the sea expansion barrier in just forty-seven years. you might reach half-step sea expansion at any moment. that’s enough to count you as a peak genius.

“the main reason is because you still are not domineering enough. domineeringness isn’t something you display on the outside, but something you keep in your heart. it refers to how you handle things.

“the other reason is that you aren’t smart enough. do you know why i let mo gate just endure all this silently?” asked mo yi.

“to give pressure to mo nian so he can rise?” asked mo yunshan.

“that’s why i said you aren’t smart enough. people who are unable to see an opportunity within danger are unsuitable to be a leader.

“our current situation is an opportunity for mo gate. after countless years, most people have already forgotten that the mo family was once an ancient family.

“after being away from the ancient family alliance for so long, people assume we’ve already completely declined and have placed their intentions on our mo gate.

“hmph, this time i’m intentionally acting weak so that those idiots start to get confident. when the opportunity comes, we’ll completely eradicate all of those people targeting us, using the most direct method to tell those idiots that it hasn’t reached the point where they can target us.

“even in the ancient era, when there were tens of thousands of noble families, our mo gate was still always in the top hundred. we weren’t an existence others could place their intentions on.

“the reason the pill tower is giving a blow to us isn’t because of the conflict in the jiuli secret realm. that is just their pretense. the pill tower has definitely received some kind of benefit from someone for them to act this way,” said mo yi.

“you’re saying there’s an ancient family targeting us? who? tell me and i’ll kill them.” mo yunshan clenched his teeth. so this had actually been part of a huge scheme.

“this is another reason i can’t hand mo gate to you. it’s because you can’t control your temper, so it’s difficult for you to accomplish anything big.” mo yi looked at mo yunshan with a bit of disappointment.

“you’re right. child admits his failings.” mo yunshan’s heart trembled.

“there are still many things for you to learn. just take it one step at a time. let’s just watch and see how these two children handle this scene,” said mo yi.

right now, mo nian was still choking on what long chen had just said. but the reality was just like that. if talking reason could solve everything, everyone would just sit down and talk. how could there still be so many conflicts? how could there be a righteous and corrupt path?

“then what should we do?” asked mo nian.

“really? you, the grand junior master of mo gate, have people come to your front door hurling abuses, and you’re asking me what to do?

“just who is the boss of qing prefecture? it’s your mo gate. your position already determines what you have to do. if your opponent wants to force you, then just kill them with a single slap.

“have you ever seen an elephant trample an ant and then apologize to it, saying it wasn’t on purpose?

“have you ever seen a dragon pierce through the clouds and then ask some small birds if it could borrow their space?

“just how much have you drunk for you to become this stupid? when people want to target you, you’re just going to endure it because you have no evidence?” raged long chen.

“but even if we were to fight, don’t we need a reason first?” asked mo nian.

“fine, you want a reason? let me give you one.”

long chen pointed at the sky. “today, the weather’s not bad.”
