Chapter 13: Celebration
On the night of the fourth day, the Longjia Chamber
Even though it's almost late at night, it's brightly lit.
Long Tianhua and the three elders of the Long family, as well as some high-ranking people of the Long family, all gathered here, but the only difference was that Long Ling was also among them.
"Ling'er, the family has been busy these days, and I haven't put up a celebration banquet for you, I happen to be free today, and all the high-ranking people in the family are here, so I should celebrate you today." Long Tianhua said to Long Ling with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Long Ling also said to the people in the hall: "You are all my elders, you can already look up to me, I don't dare to take this credit, you elders have every opportunity to govern the Long family so brilliantly, this credit should belong to the elders." Long Ling Long Ling said to the people present that were extremely inconsistent with his age, but these words were said in the hearts of the high-ranking people of the Long family who were present.
"The third young master laughed, if it weren't for you, the current Wang family and the Mu family might still dare to suppress us. At that moment, the Great Elder said to Long Ling, what he said was not bad, in the past, the Long family, Although the Wang family and the Mu family are both three major families, the Wang family and the Mu family have been here for more time than the Long family after all, and their relationship network is also stronger than the Long family, so their two families often suppress some of the Long family's business, and the Long family has no choice, after all, the two major families are not so easy to offend, but since Long Ling defeated Wang Tiezhu, the Wang family and the Mu family have also converged a lot in the past two days, and some small forces in Juye City also intend to show favor to the Long family, and some forces even offer to cooperate with them, presumably the reputation and strength of the Long family will also be stronger, thinking of this, the Great Elder was also polite to Long Ling's wordsγ
"yes, yes. At this time, some other high-ranking members of the Long family were also easy-going.
In their hearts, they no longer dared to treat the seemingly fourteen-year-old boy in front of them as a child, and this respectful attitude almost treated him as the next head of the family.
Feeling the different attitudes of these people towards him in the past, how could he not know that it was the strength he showed a few days ago that convinced them, if he was still the same as before, let alone let these guys be so polite, I am afraid that he would not even say a word to Long Ling.
Long Tianhua also didn't want all the people to be entangled in this issue all the time, so he immediately asked Long Ling: "Ling'er, how did you recover your physique, why haven't I heard you mention it." Long Tianhua was very concerned about this problem, he didn't know how Long Ling could fix this physical problem that even he couldn't do.
Hearing this, everyone in the Long family council hall pricked up their ears, they also wanted to know how Long Ling recovered his physique, but because of Long Ling's identity, they didn't dare to ask, and when they heard Long Tianhua take the lead in asking this question, they were all staring at the young man in front of them, waiting for his answer.
Long Ling had long expected that Long Tianhua would ask this question after he showed his strength, so he had already made up the answer, so naturally he would not confess to Chen Lao.
"My father remembers that I went into the back mountain forest more than a month ago. β
"Of course I remember, does it have something to do with your recovery of your physique and that time when you entered the Houshan Forest?" Long Tianhua asked at Long Ling.
"On that occasion, after I entered the forest in the back mountains, I got lost and was hungry in the afternoon, so I ate a few green fruits. β
"Green fruit?" Long Tianhua also guessed in his heart what this green fruit was.
"After eating these green fruits, I found that my body was cold and hot for a while, and it took a full hour for this condition to disappear, and when I returned to normal, I found that my constitution had also recovered, and the reason why I didn't tell my father was to surprise my father and ask him not to blame. Long Ling then explained.
Listening to Long Ling's explanation, Long Tianhua also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but when he saw Long Ling's eyes, he didn't want to lie, so he had to think that his son had picked up a treasure. Then he said, "How can my father blame you? and you have surprised my father this time." β
"Third Young Master, did you really recover your physique more than a month ago?" the Second Elder asked Long Ling, his face full of horror.
"That's right, it's the physique that was repaired just over a month ago. β
As soon as Long Ling's words fell, there was a deathly silence in the entire council hall, and everyone opened their mouths wide and stared at the young man in front of them.
Long Tianhua also thought of something, and looked at his son in front of him with a shocked expression. He didn't expect that Long Ling would be able to cultivate to a third-order qi in more than a month, this kind of cultivation speed was unheard of for them, if the other party was still human, then his cultivation speed could only be described as terrifying. It seems that the Long family has obtained the treasure this time, and it is only a matter of time before the Long family becomes stronger.
When the rest of the Long family looked at Long Ling again, their eyes were also full of awe, if what Long Ling said was true, then his future achievements would definitely not be low.
Looking at these awe-inspiring gazes from the heart, Long Ling also felt in his heart that strength was respected in this world again.
Long Tianhua felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart at this time, the son who had worried him the most in the past had become his pride today, according to Long Ling's cultivation speed, as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to dominate one side.
Long Tianhua didn't think that his son would spend his life in such a small city in the future, so he immediately said to Long Ling: "Are you interested in participating in the 'Battle of the Heavenly City'?"
"Battle of the Heavenly City?" Long Ling heard this name for the first time, so he had a question in his heart.
Hearing Long Tianhua mention the "Battle of Heavenly City", the hearts of everyone present also flashed with a solemn look, obviously they had heard of this name, and from their expressions, it could be seen that they had a kind of awe from the bottom of their hearts.
"The Battle of Amagi is a competition held in Amagi for teenagers. I don't think you'll be familiar with the name Amagi. β
Long Ling is naturally no stranger to the place of Heavenly City, Heavenly City may not be a big city in this world, but it is definitely the largest city in this area of Long Ling, and it is obviously not comparable to a small city like Juye City.
When it comes to regions, it is natural to talk about the division of regions in this world, there are a total of eight regions in this world, and the area where Long Ling is located belongs to the sixth region, and the higher the ranking, the larger the area, the stronger the strength, and each region has the most powerful city, and the strongest city in the sixth region where Long Ling is located is Tiancheng. The city is like its name, and the celestial city is like the sky, giving people a sense of admiration. Naturally, it is not comparable to Juye City.
"Father wants me to participate in the 'Battle of the Heavenly City'?" Long Ling asked suspiciously.
"Yes, that's what I mean, with the strength you have shown now and this amazing cultivation talent, I guess you won't be nesting in this small city in the future, now that you're almost fifteen years old, you should go and explore the world. Long Tianhua said to Long Ling, "If you can achieve a good ranking in the 'Battle of the Heavenly City', then it will be a fortune for both you and the Long family." β
"Father, do you know how long it will be until the 'Battle of the Heavenly City'?" Long Ling's heart was also full of yearning for the 'Battle of the Heavenly City' at this time.
"There are two years and three months to go, and you have to be under the age of 18 to qualify. β
"Okay, father, I will definitely go to Amagi to participate in the 'Battle of Amagi'. β
Looking at Long Ling's resolute gaze, Long Tianhua also smiled with satisfaction, and said to Long Ling: "It's late now, you can go back and rest." β
Long Ling also said goodbye and left the hall.
When Long Ling left, the Great Elder said to Long Tianhua: "Did the family master really let the Third Young Master participate in the 'Battle of the Heavenly City', although the Third Young Master's cultivation talent was terrifying, but after all, he relied on the power of that immortal fruit. And I remember that the champion of the last 'Battle of Heavenly City' more than seven years ago was a third-order qi master. β
"If you don't let him go out to practice, how can he be worthy of the Long family's great responsibility in the future?" Long Tianhua said to the people in the hall, and there was also a trace of expectation in his heart.
"Yes," everyone said in unison to Long Tianhua.
