Chapter 179: It’s hard to control yourself when meeting an old friend

When Chi Yanzi was removing the evil miasma from Maidong, Long Sheng was very anxious. He kept pacing outside the house, feeling very worried.

He always thought that Mai Dong provoked Huanhuan because of him, and was injured while protecting himself. In addition, he believed that Mai Dong and Long Qi admired each other, so he felt guilty and worried, and could no longer sit still.

Especially after meeting Long Qi and his group, this thought made him even more uneasy.

Although Long Qi had not recognized him yet, Long Sheng recognized him at a glance, just because his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his father’s, and he had two teardrop moles in the corner of his left eye.

When Long Qi was little, he was often held in his arms. Whenever people saw his seventh brother, they would praise him, saying that he was so handsome and would become a graceful young man in the future. Especially the two teardrop moles, one red and one brown, made him even more handsome.

Because Long Qi is the youngest in the Long family, everyone in the family dotes on him, and the servants all hold this little boy in their hearts.

But the Long family was murdered, and now only Qi Ge’er is left. In Long Sheng’s opinion, this is of vital importance for the expansion of the Long family. Qi Ge’er finally has a girl he likes, but he puts her in danger. Now her life and death are uncertain. How can he not feel guilty?

Xiaobai, who was also waiting outside, saw him like this. Although he didn’t understand why he was so anxious, he kindly tried to persuade him.

But this advice was of no use. Long Sheng, who was already nervous, poured out all his thoughts after hearing Xiao Bai’s comfort.

Long Sheng said this, but Xiaobai was stunned. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses. He had an expression of both laughter and tears, which made Long Sheng even more uneasy.

“You just said that Long Qi and Mai Dong were in love with each other?” Xiao Bai’s eyes were wide open with an exaggerated expression, as if he had heard a huge joke.

When Long Sheng saw him like this, he mistakenly thought that Xiaobai had just learned about “this matter”, which was why he looked surprised. He hurried forward to cover his mouth, and whispered to him to speak more quietly.

I think it’s because Seventh Brother is still young and has just experienced love, so he is shy and doesn’t want to make it public, so others don’t know about it. If I say it out loud and let him know, he will probably be embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Long Sheng repeatedly told Xiaobai not to say anything, but Xiaobai couldn’t help laughing, and his handsome face turned red. He was laughing all the time, but he didn’t know what to say.

After a long while, Xiao Bai finally recovered from his thoughts and said to Long Sheng: “This… I’m afraid you have misunderstood…”

Misunderstood? Misunderstood what?

Just when Long Sheng was about to ask, he saw Zhao Wuyang leading Long Qi and four others in from outside. As soon as Xin Yifang entered the hospital, she hurriedly asked Xiaobai about Maidong’s condition.

But although Lingxiang Chi Yanzi had been in the house for a long time, he could not hear any sound from the house. He thought that she must have put talismans on the house. When he asked him so, he really didn’t know what was going on inside.

Seeing Xiaobai shaking his head, Xinyi was filled with mixed feelings and hurried forward, but stopped suddenly when she raised her hand. Although Lingxiang looked careless and heartless on weekdays, she would never play with other people’s lives. Besides, she and Maidong were like sisters, so she would definitely do her best to treat him.

Since she had put a yellow talisman on the door, I thought it would be inconvenient to disturb her, but…

But I really can’t calm down in my heart.

When Long Qi saw Xin Yi like this, he stepped forward and supported his shoulders, comforting him: “You know the power of Lingxiang, and there is old man Chi Yanzi in the house, Maidong will be safe.”

Upon hearing this, Xinyi frowned, but after looking at Long Qi, she forced a smile.

Yes, it will be safe.

When Long Sheng saw this situation, he was puzzled.

It doesn’t look like the Seventh Brother likes Mai Dong, otherwise how could he be so calm? On the contrary, the child he was comforting looked so nervous, it seems that he is deeply in love with Mai Dong.

What a strange thing, he is confused.

Seeing Long Sheng’s puzzled and surprised expression, Xiao Bai almost laughed out loud. But Long Sheng was anxious and couldn’t help it anymore, so he walked forward.

“Seventh Brother…”

Long Qi’s chest stagnated. Although he hadn’t heard it for a long time, he clearly remembered that when he was a child, only his family would call him that. He looked back at Long Sheng blankly, but for a moment he couldn’t recognize who he was.

“What did you call me just now, Senior?”

Seeing him turn around and respond to him, Long Sheng’s eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were sparkling: “Seventh brother, it’s me, I’m Uncle Sheng!”

After hearing this, Long Qi just frowned and looked at Long Sheng. He didn’t move for a long time. But after a while, he saw tears in his eyes and his face was still tearful.

He recognized the person in front of him. He was the one who often carried him to the market to play when he was a child…

“Uncle Sheng!”

Long Qi hurried forward and grabbed Long Sheng’s arm.

“Uncle Sheng! Is it really you?!”

He was not quite sure how to recognize him. In his impression, Uncle Sheng was a young man in the prime of his life, but the man in front of him, although he had similar features, looked very weathered.

Hearing Long Qi calling him like this, Long Sheng’s heart surged, and tears fell down. He quickly responded: “It’s me! Brother Qi! It’s me! It’s your Uncle Sheng!”

Long Qi also had tears on his face and hugged Long Sheng in front of him.

“I thought I was the only one left in the Long family! I was the only one left!”

Long Qi felt a mixture of sadness and joy. He was happy that he could actually meet his family in his lifetime, but he was sad because he had no idea what Long Sheng had been through over the years to have such a young man full of vigor and vitality turned into such an old man with wrinkles all over his face!
The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, which made everyone around them feel sad. But Banxia looked puzzled and confused – what happened to these two people suddenly?
This is not surprising. Everyone present, except her, knows something about Long Qi’s past. Seeing this situation, they can guess a general idea.

Just when Banxia was puzzled, she heard a creaking sound, and Maidong’s door opened. Lingxiang and Chi Yanzi came out of the house. Chi Yanzi looked exhausted and was lying on Lingxiang. Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to help him and took him from Lingxiang.

Xinyi naturally wanted to ask about Maidong’s health, but when she saw Chi Yanzi like this, she couldn’t ask for a while. Lingxiang knew that he was anxious, so she forced herself to be strong and said to him with a smile:

“Thanks to Senior Brother Chi Yanzi’s great efforts in saving Maidong, he is now fine.”

Although the words were spoken lightly, seeing the two people’s appearance, Xinyi knew that it must be extremely dangerous. Even though she wanted to go into the house to see Maidong, she resisted the urge and helped Chi Yanzi to the next room to rest.

… “So that’s how it is…” Lingxiang suddenly realized.

No wonder Long Sheng’s swordsmanship looked so familiar, it turned out to be the Long Family Sword Manual. But he didn’t expect that there were four parts of the Long Family Sword Manual, and Long Qi had only practiced two of them, and they were the two parts that were disrupted by Long Sheng.

What was even more unexpected was that the person who entrusted the sword manual to Master Fuyin was actually Long Sheng!

Long Qi was also surprised. No wonder he felt that the sword manual was incoherent when he was practicing it, as if there was a fault in the middle. No matter how he practiced, he couldn’t get the point. It turned out that what he practiced was only the second and fourth parts of the Long family’s inherited swordsmanship.

Not to mention whether it would be a problem if one practiced the first part or not, the fact that there was a gap between the two sword techniques naturally made it impossible to connect them.

These four sword manuals were passed down by the ancestors of the Long family. They are the first “Dragon Chasing Sword Technique”, the second “Dragon Entangling Sword Technique”, the third “Dragon Slaying Sword Technique”, and the fourth “Dragon Controlling Sword Technique”.

The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword was originally meant to be practiced with the Long family’s inherited sword manual in order to achieve unity with the sword spirit and the sword man. The four Long family sword manuals were supposed to be kept in the secret room of the Long family’s house, but because the brothers in the family wanted to practice the second part and the head of the family wanted to comprehend the fourth part, the two books were taken out and placed outside.

It was because of this that when the demons massacred the Long family, Long Sheng was only able to take out two or four of the troops.

The Long family’s secret room was full of traps, and only the Long family’s patriarch knew how to get through. The two sword manuals were placed there, which was actually very safe.

The reason why An Wen was mentioned was because the Long family, as a family of demon hunters at that time, had a great reputation in the demon-hunting world. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, so naturally it would attract the jealousy of some people with ulterior motives.

The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss had long been psychic and could recognize the bloodline of the Long family. It was well known at the time that only people from the Long family could use it, so the first things to be affected were the four sword manuals.

Although these four sword manuals can only exert their power when used together with the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, just like what Long Sheng did before, if practiced properly, even an ordinary sword can have great power to exorcise demons.

only……

“I remember that you escaped with Brother Wu at that time, Brother Qi. Why are you the only one left now?”

Long Sheng was very puzzled. The mansion was in great chaos at the time. He was surrounded by only two children, the fifth and seventh children of the Long family. Thinking that if he could save one, he would save one; if he could save a pair, he would save a pair, so he quietly sent the two of them out through the dog hole.

After some simple arrangements, he originally wanted to go back to rescue the sixth brother of the Long family, but he met the head of the Long family who was holding two sword manuals.

At that time, the head of the family repeatedly warned him to keep the two sword manuals well, so he was forced to return to the dog hole. But when he went to look for them again, the two children were nowhere to be seen.

When Long Qi heard this, his face was full of pain and he frowned. It was a long time before he spoke.

It turned out that Long Sheng had placed the two children in a depression in the bushes. Naturally, the two of them stayed there quietly at first, but at that time, some demon soldiers came out, so Brother Wu took little Long Qi and fled away. Later, in order to protect Long Qi, he placed Long Qi in a mountain cave, and ran out himself to lead the demon soldiers away.

“I saw with my own eyes those monsters killing Brother Wu, and I…” Long Qi’s face was full of tears, with an expression of extreme pain.

Because he was afraid, weak and incompetent, he could only watch as a group of demon soldiers brutally ravaged Brother Wu. However, little Brother Wu did not even utter a single cry, just to protect Xiao Longqi.

“I waited there for a long time until there was no sound. I didn’t dare to go out. I could only watch Brother Wu’s corpse… I…”

Having said this, Long Qi could no longer control himself. At this moment, he felt a hint of coolness on his hand, which brought his thoughts back.

It turned out to be Lingxiang, and she was now holding Long Qi’s hand.

This was the first time she had seen Long Qi like this. Although she was heartbroken, her expression was extremely calm.

Perhaps it was Lingxiang’s calmness that made Long Qi’s heart slowly calm down. However, he frowned and held Lingxiang’s hand with his backhand.

Why are her hands so cold…

Lingxiang’s hands were not like those of the ladies from wealthy families. Although small, they were a little rough.

This was the feeling he had during one of the few times he held her hand, but he did not think her hands were ugly; instead, he was extremely happy.

Her hands seemed to be the most magical magic in the world, which could make his heart beat fast and at the same time calm him down.

But Lingxiang now did not rush out like before, but just let him hold her hand like this, with a normal expression on her face.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Long Sheng finally understood why Xiao Bai looked so strange at that time. It turned out that he was wrong, but…

But isn’t she Seventh Brother’s master?

Although they seem to be a good match in age, they are master and disciple after all. With this kind of relationship, what’s the point of doing it under the moon and in front of flowers?

This is against the moral code and etiquette!

Just when Long Sheng felt something was wrong, Long Qi suddenly asked Lingxiang about Maidong.

“Why are you and Mai Dong running out instead of staying in Yuanqing Sect?”

Lingxiang wanted to pull her hand back, but Long Qi held it tightly. She could only sigh and say, “It was because that little girl was thinking about love and wanted to go find Xinyi that she sneaked down the mountain. I just came out to find her.”

Long Qi stared at Ling Xiang for a long while, and then he smiled mischievously and said, “Do you think I’ve only known you for a few days? Even if Mai Dong had ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare to go down the mountain secretly. I’d rather believe that you were the one who fanned the flames and made her decide to go down the mountain. Besides, if she went down the mountain secretly, how would she know where Xin Yi was?”

Lingxiang was surprised to hear that, Long Qi was very stupid before, whenever he encountered any problems, he could just find an excuse to get away with it. Now, after only being down the mountain for training for a short time, he has become so smart?
She looked up at Long Qi, but was stunned when she saw the sparkle in his eyes – Long Qi today seemed different from before. When they first met, Long Qi was still open-minded, but his eyes were dark, as if lifeless. When did he become so energetic?

Looking at Ling Xiang who was in a trance in front of him, Long Qi’s eyes were full of smiles. He felt that Ling Xiang was more and more beautiful, and he was even happier. No matter her little calculations, or her teasing, or her absent-minded look in front of him, they all made him intoxicated and obsessed, unable to extricate himself.

if not…

If Uncle Sheng wasn’t here right now, he wouldn’t be able to help himself…

No matter what his Lingxiang wants to do or what plans she has, he will definitely go with her without hesitation!

Long Sheng, who was standing by, seemed to be unaware of this. He just stared at Long Qi and Ling Xiang intently, but he was struggling with the relationship between the two…
