Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1797: Chapter 1790: Great Gains Come from Taking Risks

”Because of this matter, both your grandfather and I were furious, unable to suppress the killing intent in our hearts anymore, preparing to storm into Beijing. However, I am different from your grandfather; I only care about how well your mother is living, while your grandfather is the overlord of Jiangnan. Although someone sent experts to intercept him, he eventually fought his way to Beijing. But on my way to Beijing, I was stopped; the opponent sent numerous experts to intercept me, as rumors said I was your mother’s father. In that battle, I was ultimately outnumbered, although I killed many interceptors, I was poisoned myself...”

The old man paused here, then continued, ”After being poisoned, the first thing I thought was to venture with my dying body to Beijing, to uproot all the families in Beijing. But I was ultimately stopped by Ji Xingyun; he told me that if I rashly entered Beijing, not only wouldn’t I be able to avenge your mother, but I’d probably not escape death. Eventually, Ji Xingyun persuaded me; I’m not afraid of death, but I know I absolutely must not die. Moreover, if I were to die, it would truly be the end. I must strive to live; I must live to avenge your mother. Because of this belief and Ji Xingyun’s help, the poison within us was suppressed.”

”From that time on, I settled on Qin Island and secretly began to cultivate my own power, to investigate everything. I wanted to know exactly who caused my daughter’s death, and I wanted them all to pay a painful price. At the same time, over these twenty-plus years, I’ve constantly sought various opportunities to annihilate some families in Beijing related to your parents, leaving only the Yang and Tang families. One is a deeply rooted, old Beijing power, and the other has been operating in Shu for hundreds of years. Moving against them rashly wouldn’t only fail, but they’d thwart my efforts. So, I must endure, waiting for a chance to act.”

”More importantly, through my years of investigation, I also discovered something, which Tianxing, you must have learned from Ji Xingyun.”

The old man sighed softly, fixed his gaze on Lu Tianxing, and said solemnly, ”Those families that dared to ambush your father back then had the audacity because there was a hidden mastermind behind the scenes, which you must know. He is the Heavenly God.”

”Heavenly God?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s face flashed with a hint of confusion. According to Ji Xingyun, if the Long Family wanted to pass down their lineage, their lifespan wouldn’t be very long. It’s been over twenty years since his father’s death. If the Heavenly God really planned it, wouldn’t it mean the Long Family found a way to lift the curse?

Seeing the doubt in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, the old man slowly spoke, ”The Heavenly God is not one person but a code name. Every generation’s most outstanding talent in the Long Family is the Heavenly God, the future leader of the Long Family. Your father died at the hands of the previous generation’s Heavenly God, and now the person who has placed a bounty on Zhiqing’s life is the Long Family’s current generation’s Heavenly God.”

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Lu Tianxing’s eyes flashed with intense killing intent. New grudges and old feuds, it seems he must make a trip to Japan.

”Tianxing, do you also have the Four Symbols Ring?” The old man looked at Lu Tianxing and suddenly asked.

”Yes.”

Lu Tianxing gently nodded, ”I have two Four Symbols Rings.”

”Jiang....”

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing, sitting beside him, was about to call Elder Jiang, but realizing the old man’s identity, she immediately stopped and corrected herself, ”Grandpa, does this mean if we gather all four Four Symbols Rings, we can open the so-called Qi Refiner’s Grave? Is there really immortality power inside?”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s address, the old man’s face showed a slight smile; he nodded and said, ”As for whether there’s immortality power within the Qi Refiner’s Grave, I don’t know, but I’m sure it holds unimaginable power, capable of letting someone break through to the Earthly Immortal level.”

”Earthly Immortal? Grandpa, does this level truly exist?”

Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru were slightly stunned; staying with Lu Tianxing, they naturally knew the division of Martial Artist levels.

”I don’t know.”

The old man gently shook his head, ”It’s said that only a handful have reached this level, like Zhang Sanfeng and Dharma. But whether it’s true, no one knows for sure.”

Here, as if remembering something, the old man suddenly lifted his head to look at Lu Tianxing, ”Tianxing, keep the Four Symbols Ring safe for now. Right, Tianxing, if you later want to avenge the Yang and Tang families, don’t act rashly. At least until you’ve reached the Late Stage of Mythical, absolutely do not set foot in Shu. Do you understand?”

”Grandpa, I know what to do; I won’t act rashly.”

Lu Tianxing solemnly nodded. Right now, he doesn’t have the complete assurance to deal with the Tang Family. Taking action rashly, entering Shu, would mean certain death.

”Good, understanding this principle is good.”

The old man slightly nodded; he truly worried that speaking of these past events would tempt Lu Tianxing to rush at the Tang and Yang families, to fight them to the death. Lu Tianxing’s strength is strong now, but compared to the Yang and Tang families, it’s still somewhat lacking.

”Tianxing, I’ve heard you didn’t kill Sun Yaoyang this time?” The old man looked at Lu Tianxing and spoke again.

”Yes!”

Lu Tianxing nodded, saying, ”This time I came to Qin Island, it would likely attract a lot of attention, and someone might want to plot against me. Sun Yaoyang came to me a few days ago, supposedly to buy time, giving the Sun Family a chance to breathe. So I simply turned their trick against them, gave Sun Yaoyang seven days to consider. Then Sun Yaoyang will surely not sit idly by, and will definitely find ways to deal with me. I can also use this opportunity to draw out those plotting against me, and take them down in one fell swoop. Even if I can’t find the mastermind, killing a few of their experts will surely make them heartbroken.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, the old man frowned and said, ”What you’re doing is somewhat risky.”

”Grandpa, only with risk comes great reward.”

Lu Tianxing slightly smiled and said, ”Moreover, isn’t Cangwu here? Could it be, Grandpa, you think the experts you’ve personally trained can’t handle this danger?”

Startled, hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, the old man was slightly stunned, then began laughing heartily, ”You’re right, a disciple trained by Jiang Liufeng can’t possibly fail to wipe out a group of ants; killing them is as easy as turning a hand.”
