Chapter 776 - 774: Request for Reinforcements
In the Chu Family Mansion of Capital City.
"Damn it, they even dared to touch our Black Alliance people, they must have guts made of bear and leopard!" Xue Kong cursed loudly upon hearing the news.
"Master Xue, please calm down. I don’t think this matter is so simple. After all, Zhenzi is a Yellow Dao six-star expert and also a professional assassin. Even a Yellow Dao seven-star person might not be able to kill her. Now, three people have been taken out all at once. I think there must be something fishy here." Chu Jiangnan analyzed.
"Oh?"
Xue Kong frowned upon hearing this. Master Chu’s analysis made sense. To take out these three people simultaneously, even he was not confident. Who else in South Sea City could have this capability?
Initially, he suspected it was done by Chen Tianlong, but on reflection, Chen Tianlong is just a student in South Sea City. Making him kill three such experts seems impossible.
Besides, with the three working together, Chen Tianlong is not their match.
"Got it. You need to have someone investigate this thoroughly for me." Xue Kong instructed.
"Master Xue, this..."
"What’s the matter?" Xue Kong was taken aback and asked.
"A few days ago, my son Chu Jingyun was severely injured by someone. I heard it was done by that kid Chen Tianlong. And now, in the Chu family, besides those elders, there aren’t many experts available. Could you apply to the Black Alliance for some assistance?"
"Damn, am I not enough?" Xue Kong rolled his eyes at Chu Jiangnan and cursed.
"Ahaha, Master Xue, you are the leader. How can you act casually? Besides, you are injured yourself." Chu Jiangnan was shocked and quickly explained.
"Alright, I will call the boss and ask." Xue Kong was actually reluctant to request people from the Red-eyed Eagle, especially since he had messed up the Earth Emperor’s matter not long ago and hadn’t figured out how to explain it to the gang leader.
Returning to his room, Xue Kong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he dialed another person’s number.
"Xiaoting, it’s me, Xue Kong!" Xue Kong spoke respectfully.
After all, Lin Xiaoting was a favorite around the Red-eyed Eagle. Although her strength might not match his, she was like a bosom friend to the gang leader. Being women, they dealt with matters easily, always sticking together, so their relationship was naturally deep.
"Oh, Master Xue, just speak out if you have something to say." Lin Xiaoting originally didn’t have a good impression of Xue Kong, but his way of handling things always reminded her of someone, that person being Chen Tianlong.
These two people really resembled each other, except Xue Kong was a bit more ruthless and cold, unlike the lively Chen Tianlong. Thinking about it now even made Lin Xiaoting smile and miss him a bit.
"Well, it’s like this, the people we sent to South Sea City have been killed. Can you provide me some support?" Xue Kong said somewhat embarrassingly.
"Oh, you need to request permission from the gang leader. I can’t make that decision." Lin Xiaoting was taken aback, not knowing what Xue Kong was up to, actually daring not to speak directly to the gang leader.
"It’s just... I messed up the Earth Emperor’s matter before, and I feel embarrassed to speak to the chief. Sister Xiaoting, you do have the power to dispatch troops. Lend me a couple?" Xue Kong pleaded.
"Oh well, just this once, never again. Two days later, I’ll send the Zhang brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei, down there. Remember to treat them well; these two have quite the bad temper." Lin Xiaoting said and didn’t want to speak much with Xue Kong. She said, "Alright, once they are sent over, I’ll give you a call."
"Hehe, thank you, Xiaoting." Xue Kong laughed slyly.
This laughter instantly reminded Lin Xiaoting of that guy, Chen Tianlong. It turns out Xue Kong’s smile was even more like Chen Tianlong’s.
"Okay... okay, I’m hanging up now." Lin Xiaoting momentarily lost her focus. She didn’t even realize why she kept thinking about that boy, almost like she was bewitched.
The Black Alliance has a total of ten top disciples, with Xue Kong ranking seventh. The other six house chiefs are generally experts above Profound Dao, making the Black Alliance so strong.
The gang leader, Red-eyed Eagle, is even more formidable. Her actual strength is unknown to anyone, but it’s heard that over a decade ago, she was already at a Tunnel seven-star strength.
The most crucial part is that the Red-eyed Eagle has a unique cultivation technique, the Golden Shield Divine Skill.
Zhenzi previously used only the first level of this Golden Shield Divine Skill, and it has a total of four levels. The Red-eyed Eagle is undoubtedly at the Great Perfection stage. No matter what, Chen Tianlong’s silver needles couldn’t break through her defense.
That’s why the Eight Great Sects submitted back then, bowing to the Black Alliance.
Lin Xiaoting gazed out the window and murmured, "Silly boy, I hope you’re doing well the next time I see you."
"Achoo!"
At the entrance of the South Sea No.1 Middle School boys’ dormitory, Chen Tianlong sneezed unexpectedly just after having his meal.
"Dude, boss, are you catching a cold?" Zhao Lei looked at Chen Tianlong and asked.
"Damn, you jinx, just because I sneezed, you think I’m catching a cold? Can’t it be that some beauty is thinking of me?" Chen Tianlong rolled his eyes at Zhao Lei.
"Haha, quite possible! Boss, you are loved by all, must be some beauty secretly having a crush on you." Zhao Lei quickly laughed.
"Go, go, go, stop talking nonsense. If Mengting hears it, she’ll rip your mouth off." After saying this, Chen Tianlong picked up the pace, planning to return and take a shower. Tonight, he intended to take Wu Mengting out shopping, making up for the neglect he had shown her in recent days.
On Saturday night, everyone went out to have fun. Yang Fan and Zhao Lei had also invited their girlfriends for an outing, mentioning they might not return to the dormitory that night. Chen Tianlong chuckled faintly; it seemed everyone’s romantic relationship was reaching a boiling point, needing further development.
Thinking about this got Chen Tianlong a bit excited.
He and Wu Mengting should probably move forward in their relationship too.
Around seven in the evening, Chen Tianlong waited at the girls’ dormitory entrance. Shortly, a beautiful figure came out from the girls’ dormitory, and it was unmistakably Wu Mengting.
Tonight, Wu Mengting looked particularly special, wearing a white short dress with a pair of purple high heels.
What caught Chen Tianlong’s eye the most was Wu Mengting’s long legs encased in sexy, semi-transparent black stockings, creating a feeling of burning desire just by looking at them.
Apparently, Wu Mengting wore light makeup this time. Seeing her slightly red lips, Chen Tianlong felt an urge to kiss her right away. But this was still school, and even on weekends, people might pass by, making it inappropriate to act.
"Chen Tianlong, what are you looking at?" Wu Mengting asked knowingly. She already knew that when she looked in the dormitory mirror, she was startled by her beauty. She never imagined that a bit of makeup would make her so pretty.
"Looking at you!" Chen Tianlong expressed his affection unreservedly.
"Oh, you’re annoying. What’s there to look at?" Wu Mengting, happy inside, still appeared shy on the surface, grabbing Chen Tianlong’s hand and starting to walk outside.
This feeling, Chen Tianlong enjoyed greatly. Since leaving Lotus Village, it’s been half a year. During this half-year, he genuinely sensed the meaning of life, a feeling he had never experienced in Lotus Village.
Seeing the happy Wu Mengting beside him, Chen Tianlong smiled contentedly.
"Darling, tonight... can we not go back?" After getting into the car, Chen Tianlong asked somewhat bashfully.
Although they were a couple, asking this question still worried Chen Tianlong. He feared Wu Mengting might refuse, that she might think he wasn’t a good man.
"Of course, we can." Wu Mengting’s face blushed as she replied, without turning back to look at Chen Tianlong, feeling extremely shy. After all, Chen Tianlong’s words instantly made her recall what might follow.
