Chapter 1026 - 1025: Some Doubts
Chen Tianlong looked at his own strength and felt a wave of joy; he truly hadn’t expected that after a trip to Ice City, his power would surge so dramatically, even he was a bit incredulous.
However, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered a question: how was the Demonic Qi on his body removed?
Hadn’t Master Wufa said that he only had a slim chance? Strictly speaking, wouldn’t it take a long time to slowly clear it all away? How did he recover completely in just a few days?
With these questions in mind, Chen Tianlong slowly drifted into sleep, and in his dreams, he once again saw a mysterious figure. Judging from the silhouette, it was definitely a beautiful woman, yet she didn’t turn around.
Around nine o’clock the next morning, two cars departed from the Liu Family. In the first car sat Hua Wucan and Madman Li, two prominent figures. They were, of course, on their way to Tianshu Manor.
On the passenger boat heading to the Black Alliance, sat two familiar figures: the brothers Hao Shuai and Hao Jian.
"Brother, it’s been a year already; why don’t we return to South Sea City and elevate our Hao Family? With the Black Alliance’s help now, revitalizing the Xu Hao Family shouldn’t be difficult." Hao Jian asked in confusion.
Hao Shuai smiled faintly, "Brother, you don’t understand. You’re a fugitive. Until your sentence is served, you can’t go back. Besides, reviving the Xu Family holds no meaning for me now. We must look further ahead. Just one Xu Family, can it compare to the Black Alliance?"
"Brother, you mean you’re planning to join the Black Alliance?" Hao Jian finally heard it.
Hao Shuai waved his hand dismissively and smiled mischievously, "It’s not joining, but taking over."
"What? You mean monopolizing the Black Alliance?" Hao Jian was shocked, always thinking his brother had a big appetite, but this was way too ambitious: "But brother, the Black Alliance is powerful, and Thunder Tiger and the Red-eyed Eagle are fierce people; you can’t beat them."
"It’s true I can’t beat them, but the eight great sects of Huaxia can, especially the Celestial Pill Sect." Hao Shuai wickedly smiled and said, "A few days ago, I returned from Ice City and immediately visited the Celestial Pill Sect. Do you know who I met?"
"Who?" Hao Jian asked curiously, as his brother’s words intrigued him.
"Chen Hai, he turned out to be the senior disciple of the Celestial Pill Sect, Chen Hai! Do you know who Chen Hai is?" Hao Shuai spoke with excitement; he never thought fate would turn in his favor.
"Chen Hai? You mean the Chen Hai we used to play with as kids?"
"Yes, him. We never knew what connection father had with the Celestial Pill Sect, but he brought Chen Hai to our home for over three months. Do you remember when the three of us knelt and became sworn brothers? Haha."
Hao Shuai found it exhilarating to think back when they were only seven years old, and the child they played with was now the senior disciple of Huaxia’s largest sect; he truly never expected it.
"Wow, I remember! Chen Hai was so fun, and when we became sworn brothers, we promised to be brothers for life." Hao Jian was immediately excited hearing his brother talk about meeting an old friend.
"Yes, fortunately Shi Xiaohong gave me a token that let me enter the Celestial Pill Sect directly, or I wouldn’t have met Chen Hai. I actually have to thank Chen Tianlong for injuring the Celestial Pill Sect members, which made Shi Xiaohong give me such an important token." Hao Shuai said.
"Haha, brother, we’re about to strike gold." Hao Jian was extremely happy, believing with the Celestial Pill Sect’s help, what worry was there about not defeating the Black Alliance?
Hao Shuai smiled and continued, "In a few days, you’ll see experts from the eight great sects of Huaxia gathering in Japan’s Black Alliance City. I’ve already used the Celestial Pill Sect’s reputation to widely issue the Celestial Pill Order, summoning the eight sects to gather on July 25th at Black Alliance City, and then they’ll follow my commands to attack the Black Alliance headquarters together."
"Oh my God, brother, is this true?" Hao Jian was overwhelmed with excitement, though he was a member of the Black Alliance, he held no status there. If things went as his brother said, the two of them could end up ruling the Black Alliance.
"However, we need to sway one person." Hao Shuai suddenly switched the topic.
Hao Jian was puzzled, "Who, brother?"
"The second-in-command of the Black Alliance, Thunder Tiger. Thunder Tiger is from the Fire Domain Qilin Tribe. I’ve visited them many times, but the doors remained closed as if something had happened. After extensive inquiry, I found out the Qilin Tribe has been severely weakened. That means Thunder Tiger has lost his backing. If we tell him the Celestial Pill Sect will take him in, he’ll certainly work hard for us." Hao Shuai analyzed.
"Wow, brother, you’re incredible; I’ll follow your lead no matter what." Hao Jian remained, as ever, without opinion, following orders.
Hao Shuai nodded. He liked people like that—obedient to commands.
South Sea City.
Chen Tianlong lay in bed until ten o’clock without getting up, but then he heard a knock at the door and hurriedly shouted, "Who is it?"
"Wushuang!" Lin Wushuang’s voice echoed from outside. Chen Tianlong was momentarily stunned, then reacted; of course, she was his girlfriend, how could he not open the door?
He ran over wearing only shorts and opened the door.
Lin Wushuang assumed Chen Tianlong got up to practice; without thinking much, she headed upstairs to call him for breakfast.
She wanted to do things seamlessly to make Chen Tianlong completely forget about Wu Mengting, so she wasn’t sure if Wu Mengting used to do this often, and started making breakfast.
At that moment, Lin Wushuang was stunned to find Chen Tianlong coming to the door without fully dressed. Her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly covered her eyes.
"Chen Tianlong, what are you doing? You’re not wearing clothes!" Lin Wushuang stomped her foot angrily and scolded him.
"Come on, you’re my girlfriend; are you afraid of seeing me like this? Are we a couple or not?" Chen Tianlong was suddenly doubtful; in his memory, it seemed he had never confessed to Lin Wushuang. If it weren’t for people saying there was a confession on the mountaintop, he wouldn’t have believed it.
After all, that part of the memory was a bit fuzzy, leaving him unsure.
Lin Wushuang was startled, almost letting Chen Tianlong see through the deceit. She quickly explained, "No, who said couples can act like this? I... I don’t like seeing boys like this."
"Oh? You don’t like seeing other boys like this, or you don’t like seeing me like this? If it’s me, then we’re such a lame couple. Other people kiss, hug, and even do that." Chen Tianlong pointed out.
Knowing that she couldn’t out-talk Chen Tianlong, Lin Wushuang shut the door and walked inside.
"Who said... we can’t kiss and hug." To prevent Chen Tianlong from getting suspicious, Lin Wushuang walked over and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips, then quickly retracted.
