Chapter 145: Big Brother, your body is no good

At the foot of the mountain.

Chen Clan.

Long Ming anxiously waited for her husband to return; this time was different from before, her husband had gone to undergo the tribulation.

The sound of thunder rang out, heard throughout Longshe Cheng; the terrifying pressure of that lightning made Long Ming wait a long time, but her husband did not return. The tribulation had long passed, yet there was not a word.

Her son had no news either, and her husband was the same; she grew even more anxious.

Chen Churan and Chen Chusheng were also at home keeping their mother company; they had received the news and returned early to protect her, and also to ease her anxious feelings, the two repeatedly held her back, not letting her go out.

"Mother, don't worry about Father; Second Brother will handle it, with Second Brother here you needn't worry."

"That's right, Younger Brother will watch over Father; Father will be fine, you just stay at home and relax."

The two simply would not let Mother go out, for Father had ordered it beforehand; Mother must not be allowed to leave the house.

Outside is chaotic; this tribulation can draw many people, the outskirts of Longshe Cheng are not absolutely safe, many are eyeing the Chen Clan—members of the Yin Gui Sect, demonic beasts, and many humans lurking in the dark, as well as folks from small clans, all watching them.

Once they notice any sign, they will act immediately, and Long Ming is likely to become their target; many disciples of the Chen Clan have retracted, just in case, and before leaving, Chen Yuan had made all preparations, guarding against those little rats.

"The tribulation has long passed, yet your father has not a word—what if he..."

Long Ming feared, what if her husband died—wouldn't that be...?

She did not want her husband to die, nor did she want to see... that scene.

Chen Churan comforted: "Mother, my mother, don't think like that; trust Second Brother, trust Father, Father is so strong, he'll surely be fine."

"Exactly, Mother, a mere tribulation couldn't possibly strike Father down."

If Chen Chusheng didn't speak, it would be fine, but once he spoke, it made Long Ming even more nervous.

What she feared was nothing more than her husband failing to survive the tribulation, resulting in his death and disappearance.

That image is certainly not what she wanted to see.

Chen Churan gave her elder brother a white-eyed look, bringing up the very topic that should not be mentioned.

"Mother, don't listen to Elder Brother; he's talking nonsense, Father won't come to harm."

Long Ming grew even more worried, she went to the doorway and kept looking outside, waiting for Chen Yuan to return.

Chen Churan glared hatefully at her elder brother, "It's all your doing; if Mother runs out, you'll be in trouble."

Chen Chusheng shrank his head, not daring to speak, he accompanied Mother in looking outward.

Keeping watch.

For a long time.

A figure walked back, entering the main gate of the Chen Clan.

The moment Long Ming saw Chen Yuan, she flew out, moving so fast that in the blink of an eye she was before him.

The two embraced.

Chen Churan and Chen Chusheng acted a bit slower; seeing this, they both let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time their faces flushed a little.

Especially Chen Churan, seeing Mother so uninhibited while they were still present, just embracing like that was too…

"Husband, I thought you wouldn't come back."

"How could that be? I promised you, I'll surely not go back on my word—look, I've returned safe and sound."

Chen Yuan lifted his wife and kissed her cheek.

This wife is so endearing.

Long Ming's face flushed red; she signaled her husband to mind the influence, as their son and daughter were still watching nearby.

Chen Yuan paid them no heed, kissing his wife's other cheek, then her lips.

This made Long Ming's face redden even more.

"They're watching; put me down."

"All right."

Chen Yuan set his wife down, then said to his eldest son: "Chusheng, you did well."

"Churan too."

Chen Chusheng and Chen Churan breathed a sigh of relief; seeing their father return, their worries vanished.

"Father, did you successfully form your Golden Core?"

"Mm."

Chen Churan congratulated: "Congratulations Father, congratulations Father, congratulations Father on your Advancement."

After forming the Golden Core, one becomes a true cultivator.

A lifespan of five hundred years—nothing mortals can compare to.

"Congratulations Father," Chen Chusheng added, sucking up; now that Father has formed his Golden Core, who in Longshe Cheng would dare not obey?

The Chen Clan is truly going to rise; from now on, he can walk arrogantly within Longshe Cheng.

All right, he had been walking arrogantly before as well.

Together they returned to the hall; Chen Yuan took the upper seat, his wife sat beside him, the two children sat below, Chen Yuan glanced at his son and daughter, very pleased.

"Churan, these days stay home and keep your mother company."

"But what about my master?"

Chen Yuan raised his hand: "Your master is on Longshe Mountain and won't be back so quickly; Mother misses you, so we've decided this way."

Chen Churan still wanted to say something, but seeing her father's gaze, she could only nod.

Next, Chen Yuan turned his gaze to his eldest son, his eyes narrowing.

This change made Chen Chusheng very afraid; Father wouldn't be going to attack him, would he?

"Chusheng, what realm are you at now?"

Chen Chusheng respectfully replied: "Reporting to Father, I am at the Second Level of Qi Transformation."

"Second Heaven, this fast!"

Chen Chusheng was very pleased, glanced at his younger sister, feeling smug.

Do you see? Your elder brother's cultivation talent is not inferior to, I have advanced again.

Qi Transformation Second Heaven, cultivation not bad, improved a lot compared to before, this rate of improvement is indeed not bad.

Compared to those faction's disciples, it's not bad either.

But it's not enough; after condensing the elixir, Chen Yuan realized his eldest son's cultivation was a bit lacking; as the future head of the Chen Clan, how could this cultivation do?

At least one needs to reach the True Gang Realm; moreover, this time being worked over by the younger son made him understand the importance of foundations and also the importance of the younger son; this eldest son needs to be properly reformed, otherwise, if reformed later, it would be too late.

The eldest son is inferior in all aspects; if he really condenses the elixir, he might end up as the lowest grade.

Chusheng, go train at Longshe Shan now.

Huh?

Chen Chusheng widened his eyes, looking doubtfully at his father.

What are you staring at? Go now; for a period of time in the future, you will live at Longshe Shan, and you can only come down the mountain when your younger brother lets you.

Father, don't, my child...

"Hmm?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, staring at his eldest son.

Chen Chuyang had the words on the tip of his tongue but couldn't say them; he immediately stopped speaking.

He turned and left.

He tried to ridicule several times, but still couldn't say it.

Long Ming also approved of her husband's approach; this eldest son needs to be properly educated, his cultivation is too lacking.

As for the younger daughter, everything is fine; she also misses her daughter.

Chu Ran, come here to Mother.

Mother and daughter need to have a good talk; as for Chen Yuan, watching his wife and daughter leave, he wanted to show off but couldn't say it; this wife understood his thoughts and had prepared a response in advance.

Can only slowly show off to my wife tonight.

Chen Yuan muttered in his heart.

On the other side.

Longshe Shan, Chen Chusheng again arrived at the familiar place; he didn't want to come, but his father's gaze already told him that if he didn't come, he would bear the consequences.

Don't look at his father usually smiling; once he takes action, it's really terrifying.

Younger brother, I'm here.
