Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 170 - The Warning.



"If I don\'t kill that damn monk and drag his dead body on the streets today, then my family name won\'t Be Long." Long Zheng\'s expression was quite unsightly at this moment. He couldn\'t believe a little monk dared to make a fool out of him in front of his own subordinates.

To make matters worst, he didn\'t realize that he was caught in an illusion even when he got home and explained everything to his father which made him looked as though he was crazy.

Showing such weakness in front of his father and the guards were very aggravating, and he was ashamed of it all. Even though he came from the side branch of the family, he still had to uphold the dignity of the family wherever he went. Being ridiculed in such a manner by a little Monk enraged him.

"Shut up you unfilial son. What were my instructions to you? Didn\'t tell you to politely ask the monk to pay me a visit instead of ordering him around like he was one of your servants." In the study room, Long Meng slammed the table, exploding with rage as he was looking at his stupid son who still hasn\'t understood the situation he put himself in.

Just Like his son, Long Meng was a member of the side branch of the Long Familly. However, due to his hard work, talent, and intelligence, he was able to get the recognition of the family and was appointed as one of the five captains of the Blue Dragon City Guard.

Even though he was responsible for the poorest and the most populated region of the city, it was still a lucrative job that came with many benefits. Putting him in this position also showed that the family valued him and recognized his hard work even though he came from the side branch.

Seeing how his father still berated him even after he already knew how that damn monk had humiliated him and made a fool out of him, Long Zheng felt aggrieved as he indignantly said." Father, didn\'t you hear everything I told you! I am the victim here. Why do you care about that damn monk so much? Isn\'t he a fake monk that\'s scamming people for money while pretending to have divine power. Yet, he\'s so daring to make a fool out of a member of the Long Familly."

"Didn\'t I tell you to shut up! It seems like all these years training you were in vain. Looks like you\'ve had too smooth of a life under my protection, as such you become arrogant and spoiled. You can\'t even think straight or see clearly. Do you really think that the Monk was just making a fool out of you?" Answered Long Meng with an agitated tone as he was pointing his finger at Long Zheng.

"What do you mean father?" Asked Long Zheng with a puzzled expression on his face.

Long Meng snorted as he said." The illusions he showed you were nothing but a warning. The Monk was trying to show you our future and our fate if we continue to intimidate him or force him against his will. Also, the reason he didn\'t kill you or even injure you was because he didn\'t want to go to war against the Long Family. However, it wasn\'t because he was afraid, but for something else."

"That Monk isn\'t as simple as you think. According to some information I was able to acquire from the elders in the main branch, even the Sun God Palace has its eyes on him. Yet, they haven\'t made a move yet. Why do you think is that?"

"Whether he is a real monk or a fake, we still can\'t confirm that because the Buddhist Sect had long declined and disappeared 2000 years ago. As for his healing abilities, they are as real and genuine as you and me."

Upon hearing these words, Long Zheng was momentarily stunned and dumbfounded. He had never imagined that weak looking monk had caught the attention of even a behemoth like the Sun God Palace. Not only that, but he also didn\'t realize that the monk\'s action would have such a profound meaning.

At this moment, Long Zheng was silent and in his mind, the images of his guards getting their heads exploded like a bunch of inflated balloons appeared in his head. His limbs went numb just by remembering this scene as cold sweat started dripping from his forehead.

"Well, it seems like I\'ll have to make a trip over there myself. I just hope the Monk doesn\'t hold a grudge and still give me a helping hand." Whispered Long Meng as he was looking out of the window with a melancholic look on his face.

...

Two hours have gone by since Long Zheng and his guards have left, and Ling Chen was still sitting in the same position. However he wasn\'t meditating, his eyes were wide open while he was deep in thought.

As he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a light footstep sounded from behind him. Followed which a gentle voice filled with concern sounded. "Father Monk, why are you sitting there this early in the morning by yourself. Aren\'t you cold?"

Upon hearing that voice, Ling Chen gently smiled as he turned around. Not too far from him was a very beautiful little girl with a pair of large blue eyes and long dark hair.

This little girl was none other than Mei. At this moment, she looked completely different from five days ago. Ever since Ling Chen had taken her in, she became more lively and joyful. Her body didn\'t look thin and weak anymore, she was much fitter now to the point where she was getting a little fat.

During these five days, Ling Chen had fed her well and never let her go to sleep hungry. Aside from that, Ling Chen had brought a lot of nice clothes and gave everything she wanted. As for her mother, she was getting better. Every day, he used his light true qi energy to nourish her body and patched her fractured soul.

Maybe it was because Ling Chen had saved the little girl from her harsh life and gave her everything she could ever dream of as well as taking care of her mother, the adorable little girl had developed a unique relationship with Ling Chen to the extent where he called him Father Monk instead of Sir Monk.

In the little girl\'s heart, Ling Chen had already taken on an immensely important position. He was like the father she never had.

Without hesitation, Ling Chen got up from his mediative stance and carried the little girl into his embrace as he said with a teasing smile on his face." Little Mei, it seems like you are getting a little fat."

Upon hearing Ling Chen\'s words, little Mei\'s face couldn\'t help but turn red as she indignantly said. "Y… you are bullying me again Father Monk."

"Hahaha! I was just joking with you little Mei, don\'t be sad." Quickly answered Ling Chen as he was looking at the helpless and bashful face of Little Mei.

"Ok, there\'s no more provision left in the house. It\'s time to go outside and do some shopping for my little Mei." He added with a slight happy smile on his face.

Just like little Mei, In Ling Chen\'s heart, she had also taken on an immensely important position. She was like one of his children. It\'s already been three years since he last saw his children, and there was a void in his heart because of that. However, the presence of little Mei was able to somehow fill that void a little.
