311. There is no meaning

After a year of Long Chen and Hai Mingyue's disappearance, the continent was shocked by the news that Long Chen had recovered and survived death, causing many reactions from various forces. Some were silent and unconcerned, some were slightly smiling thinking Long Chen was lucky. Some were more angry and hated the news.

It was the four ancient families, the Long family to be precise. The one who was now really upset about receiving the news was also the ancestor who had once threatened the various forces not to help Long Chen heal.

"Damn it! What should I do now?" Thought the Long ancestor with a gloomy face. In front of him were two ancestors who were around his age, both of whom looked gloomy as well and couldn't think of a way to deal with Long Chen's situation.

"Anyway, he's recovered but his strength has completely decreased. According to the news he is now only in the earth realm, definitely not a threat and a problem for us." One of the ancestors spoke up reminding his brother not to think too much about Long Chen's problem. After all, without power Long Chen wouldn't be able to stand as he once did in this world.

"You're right, why should I bother about that boy now? The troublesome thing is the relationship between the sky sect and the sea empire. This is what we should think about." Regarding Long Chen's recovery, it was purely intentional on Qin Yang's part to make the people who were initially unwilling to help them realize that they weren't really needed by the Celestial Sect.

Instead, they let go of those who needed support from the Celestial Sect. It caused a tremendous effect, and moreover the sea empire and the celestial sect established a relationship that had already been spread to the public. Because of that many sects below the first level became confused after all they had initially refused to help the celestial sect. Even some middle-tier pavilions were unwilling to sell their treasures to the sky sect. Now that the Long family was also experiencing the same thing, they were heavily criticized by the other three ancient families for tarnishing the good name of the four ancient families.

"Damn! What now? What are we all supposed to do? Our name has gotten worse since suppressing the various forces below." Long Heian was angry at all the news about his family. Inside the hall, no one answered or reversed Long Heian's words, they were also confused by the current situation.

"Although some other sects are doing the same thing as us, but we are more obvious to the sky sects and people's eyes. Now... ah!" This was something that was completely out of his expectation. He did not expect that the person he regarded as an outcast child would be so troublesome.

"Although that child is still alive, but he has lost his former glory. And according to the information we got, he's only in the earth realm. So, there's no need to worry unnecessarily." The grand elder of the Long family seriously spoke in the hall. The only risk they were at now was from carelessly using their strength. And as for other things, no one cared, of course Long Chen's problem was enough to make a stir in the middle continent but not to that extent.

"You're right. Well, I'm also quite relieved that the kid isn't as genius as before."

"Right grandpa, this way he won't be so arrogant in front of us." Long Hu'er had been looking forward to this day, the day when she could no longer be bullied by Long Chen when they met.

"Hahaha, right. Although he is alive but he is now completely useless. Even if he recovers, it's impossible for him to reach the level he used to be." Long Heian looked quite happy about it all. Although Long Chen had survived but what, his strength was no longer as extraordinary as it used to be.

"Alright, this is all fine too. Now we will discuss the matter of the tournament in two years. Are all our youngsters ready?"

"According to my analysis, it won't be a problem for our young generation to rank in the top ten." The great Elder's answer earned a favorable response from the others. Only, Long Ju'er was really unhappy with Long Hu'er's remarks as well as her father. Of course she couldn't be like Long Hu'er, because after all she was here alone. Obviously if she fought back there wouldn't be any victory at all.

"Good! My granddaughter Hu'er, you must do everything well. Make our family proud, son." Long Heian looked at Long Hu'er with affection and praise. That clearly meant that no matter who his granddaughter was, he would always support her as a grandfather. This was something Long Chen and even Long Chen's father had never gotten.

"He really never changes. Why is dad always like this? Does he really have no heart?" Long Ju'er thought with a sad look.
