Chapter 620: The Strongest of the Younger Generation
Dragon Group base.
"I say, Junior Sister, you've only shrunk in stature a little, there's no need to lose your temper like this, is there?" Long Jingtian looked at Meng Juan, who had a dark expression in front of him, and said with some helplessness.
"That's right, Senior Sister Meng, these past few days, I really haven't been able to take it anymore," Situ, who was on the side, also said with a sallow complexion.
"What is it? It's just accompanying me to get familiar with the power I recovered, why has your complexion become so bitter? Situ, are you a bit weak?" Meng Juan glanced at Situ and asked in a somewhat stiff tone.
"My heart's desire for a broad bosom, my heart's desire for long legs—they've all disappeared! That brat, next time we meet, I must give him a good thrashing!" At the same time, Meng Juan was screaming frantically in her heart.
"No, no, Sister Meng Juan, don't you know how strong your current strength is?" Situ asked.
"I am, very strong now?" Meng Juan couldn't help but recall the battle situation at the Peak Martial Duel earlier.
Those powerhouses whose strength was usually not inferior to her own were almost all forcefully suppressed by her when facing her. At first, she thought it was because of the Pill Lingyun gave her, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Situ is right. Among us few people now, the only one who can trade blows with you is Laogui. It's a pity that Laogui is currently in seclusion and cannot spar with you," Long Jingtian said.
"Not quite, Old Long. Even Laogui would have a hard time taking advantage of Meng Juan," Situ suddenly interjected.
"Hmm?" Long Jingtian looked at Situ with some confusion.
"Old Long, don't forget, Laogui's cultivation technique leans toward the yin and soft, while what Meng Juan uses is the most yang and rigid technique. Plus her constitution of the most yin and soft, do you think Laogui can get any benefit in front of her?" Situ said.
"Seems like that makes sense, too," Long Jingtian said somewhat sheepishly.
"By the way, Old Long, what do you think about that Hao Family that just popped up?" Situ changed the subject, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "Looking at past documents, this is not a family that is easy to deal with."
"What else can we do? Just let it be. If they really dare to do something that defies the world, those energetic little guys in the Dragon Group won't let go of this opportunity to stretch their muscles," Long Jingtian said.
"Recently, the peripheral members of the Hao Family in the secular world have also been restless, not knowing what they are investigating," Situ said.
"We don't need to worry about this for now, just keep a close watch. They haven't done anything out of line yet, so it's not easy for us to make a move," Long Jingtian said.
"I understand," Situ nodded.
Inside the Villa, Lingyun looked at the distant sky; on the table in front of him lay an invitation.
"Lingyun, this is an invitation from the Yan Family in the south. In a few days, it will be their ancestor's centenary birthday, and they sincerely invite you to attend," Chen Jing said.
"The southern Yan Family? I remember I don't seem to have any relationship with them, so why would this invitation be sent to me?" Lingyun asked with some confusion.
"Uh, Lingyun, don't you know? You are now the strongest of the younger generation in all of Huaxia," a smile appeared on Chen Jing's face.
"The strongest of the younger generation? When did I get such a title?" Lingyun's head was full of question marks. "Also, who spread this title of mine?"
"As for that, it was naturally Long Lao!" Su Wanyue walked in from outside, and in her hand, she held an invitation identical to the one on the table.
"Long Jingtian? What is this old man up to again? And how did this title come about? Didn't anyone object?"
A bunch of black lines appeared on Lingyun's head; he felt that Long Jingtian was just making trouble for no reason. With such a title, he didn't know how many people would be eyeing him, and there would definitely be a pile of troublesome matters. This was absolutely something Lingyun did not want to see. It seems Long Jingtian has become inflated during this period; he must find a time to give him a good thrashing.
"Achoo—" Long Jingtian, who was in the Dragon Group base, sneezed violently.
"I say, Old Long, with your current strength, how can you still sneeze? Is someone thinking of you?" Watching Long Jingtian rubbing his nose, Situ couldn't help but tease.
"What do you mean someone is thinking of me? I think someone is holding a grudge against me," Long Jingtian said while rubbing his nose.
"Maybe it's Lingyun. You put the title of 'strongest of the younger generation' on his head without his consent. Given that brat's personality, he must have definitely marked you down in his heart," Situ said unceremoniously. "I'll say it first, if that brat comes to beat you up, I won't help you."
"Cough, cough, isn't there still Junior Sister?" Long Jingtian said with a guilty conscience. "And isn't there still Junior Sister?"
"Solve the trouble you created yourself; I have no interest in going up against that monstrous brat!" Meng Juan rolled her eyes at Long Jingtian and said.
"As for that, there really weren't many voices of opposition. Don't forget, Ye Xi was one of the strongest in this Peak Martial Duel. And she is your disciple; she has never denied the claim that you are weaker than her, so this title of 'strongest of the younger generation' naturally fell onto your head," Su Wanyue said.
"This girl, she has also learned to put me on the fire to roast!" Lingyun rubbed his forehead helplessly. "Long Jingtian is really using me as a target!"
"Target or not, the fact that you, Lingyun, are the strongest of the younger generation is beyond doubt, isn't it?"
"Cough, cough, can I still be counted as the younger generation?" Lingyun gave a light cough and said.
"Isn't that so? I remember when I was little, Master always emphasized very seriously in front of me that you are a handsome guy who is forever eighteen!" Luo Yexi jumped in from outside the door and said with a grin. "Only eighteen, isn't that young, Master?"
"Asking for a beating!" Lingyun's figure twisted, and he instantly appeared in front of Luo Yexi, knocking a knuckle directly onto her forehead.
"Ooh, it hurts—" Luo Yexi covered her forehead, looking at Lingyun with teary eyes.
"Ye Xi, has anyone told you that this kind of 'acting cute' setting doesn't suit you at all!" Looking at Luo Yexi's appearance, Lingyun said with a helpless face.
"Hee hee!" Luo Yexi stuck her tongue out at Lingyun, then stood up straight.
"By the way, Master, do you have this?" Luo Yexi flipped her hand, and a bright red, gold-inlaid invitation appeared in her hand.
"It seems we all received invitations from the Yan Family!" Busujima Saeko stepped into the room, and in her hand, she held an invitation as well.
"It is said that everyone who performed outstandingly in the Hidden Dragon Assembly and the Peak Martial Duel, whether of the younger generation or the older generation, almost all received an invitation from the Yan Family," Su Wanyue said.
"Almost everyone who performed outstandingly received an invitation? This is interesting. Are you all going?" Lingyun toyed with the invitation in his hand and asked.
"Since we don't have anything to do right now, let's go and see. Let's see what kind of medicine this Yan Family is selling in their gourd!"
