Chapter 78

Long Tuxiao laughed heartily at Alán's words, and the fellow disciples of the Dragon Tiger Gate also burst into laughter.

A few newly admitted outer disciples of the Dragon Tiger Gate approached, looking at their senior brothers in confusion.

"Senior Brother, why are you all laughing?"

One of the disciples who had participated in the ambush on the Yin Xu Gate glanced at the new junior brother beside him: "Junior Brother, do you know who is the most untouchable person in the entire Qingzhou City?"

"Of course, it's the head of our Dragon Tiger Gate."

The junior brother answered without hesitation. In fact, most people in Qingzhou City thought the same.

The head of the Dragon Tiger Gate, Long Xing, was the top expert in Qingzhou City. Originally, there was also the head of the Yin Xu Gate, Yin Jueqing, who could match him.

However, after the battle at the Yin Xu Gate, the once mighty Yin Xu Gate crumbled, and the Danqi Sect and the Xiuzhi Sect also perished.

Although the Iron Scroll Sect benefited greatly from this incident, the biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly the Dragon Tiger Gate, the ultimate winner of this conflict.

Long Xing firmly held the top position, and no one could challenge him. The Dragon Tiger Gate was in high spirits, becoming the undisputed top sect in Qingzhou City.

Naturally, no one dared to provoke the Dragon Tiger Gate. In just a few days, several sects expressed their desire to join the Dragon Tiger Gate or form an alliance with them.

The new disciple thought that his answer should earn him some praise from his senior brother.

But to his surprise, Long Tuxiao laughed mockingly, and the other senior brothers also teased him.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"The head of the sect is indeed the top person in Qingzhou City, but when it comes to the most untouchable person, he ranks second to one."

"Hmm? Who is it? Could it be the escaped head of the Yin Xu Gate, Yin Jueqing? If it's him, that makes sense."

"Yin Jueqing is nothing. He was beaten and fled with his tail between his legs."

"Let me tell you the truth, this person is the 'Brother Bai Chen' mentioned by this little girl. If he finds out that his sister was humiliated and his brother was crippled, the consequences will be severe."

"Bai Chen? I've never heard of him."

Long Tuxiao snorted: "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of him, but now that you know, be careful. Bai Chen has a deep relationship with our Dragon Tiger Gate. Don't act recklessly like the Iron Scroll Sect, thinking that no one in Qingzhou City can control him."

The group of people didn't dare to delay. They checked Alán's injuries. Although she was injured in the throat, it was just a flesh wound and not serious.

However, Chen Youcai on the ground was seriously injured. They quickly provided first aid and then carried him back to the Dragon Tiger Gate.

Long Xing was instructing the early morning practice disciples when he saw Long Tuxiao and the other senior brothers return early. He immediately went forward to greet them.

"Disciple, why did you return so early? Did you recruit ten disciples?" Long Xing looked at the unfamiliar faces behind Long Tuxiao and counted them several times but didn't see ten people.

He then noticed the little girl in Long Tuxiao's arms and the person on the stretcher carried by the disciples behind him. This person was Chen Youcai, a hunter from the city who had some business dealings with the Dragon Tiger Gate, but they weren't that close.

"Who is this?"

"Master, please bring the best medicinal pills, and... and call the best doctors in the city, quickly..."

Long Xing had never seen Long Tuxiao act so rudely. Long Tuxiao was his most outstanding disciple, not only talented but also very experienced and tactful, and had never acted so improperly.

But now, he was treating two outsiders with such disregard for hierarchy, which clearly indicated that something serious had happened.

However, Long Xing was not the type to be bound by formalities. He immediately instructed the disciples to invite the best doctors in Qingzhou City.

"Disciple, what happened?"

"Greetings, Head of the Sect." The newly admitted disciples, seeing an opportunity to please Long Xing, quickly bowed: "This is what happened..."

"This is Bai Chen's sister." Long Tuxiao interrupted his junior brother, and Long Xing's face immediately changed.

"Quickly... take her to the guest room and invite Master Ouyang from the city."

The newly admitted disciples were stunned. The head of the sect's change of expression was too quick.

"Disciple, what about him?"

"He was injured while protecting Bai Chen's sister."

Upon hearing that it was related to Bai Chen, Long Xing didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately had the person taken to the guest room for treatment and ordered the disciples to fetch healing medicinal pills.

Chen Youcai's injuries were serious but not particularly difficult to treat. The Dragon Tiger Gate had plenty of healing medicinal pills.

With the best doctor in Qingzhou City treating him, he regained consciousness after half an hour.

Chen Youcai felt a sharp pain in his chest and saw a woman busy in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he recognized her as the renowned doctor Ouyang Lianyi from Qingzhou City.

"Doctor Ouyang... Doctor Ouyang... Why are you here?" Chen Youcai was terrified, not because of his injuries, but because Ouyang Lianyi was treating him.

Ouyang Lianyi's medical skills were as famous as her fees. Her motto was that as long as the price was right, she could even bring the dead back to life.

Although Chen Youcai was well-off, if he sought treatment from Ouyang Lianyi, he would be bankrupt.

"Brother Chen, how are you feeling now?"

Long Xing had been standing by his side, looking at Chen Youcai with a gentle expression.

Seeing Long Xing standing there, Chen Youcai was even more terrified.

Who was Long Xing? He was the top person in Qingzhou City.

Now, the top person in Qingzhou City was standing by his side, and the top doctor in Qingzhou City was treating him. This scene was enough to scare even a healthy person into illness.

"Head... Head... Head of the Sect... Why are you here?"

Long Xing smiled warmly and patted Chen Youcai's shoulder: "Brother Chen, you're too polite. We have some acquaintance, and now that you've encountered misfortune, how can I stand by and do nothing?"

Chen Youcai racked his brain but couldn't figure out when he and Long Xing had become acquainted.

Looking at Long Xing's expression, Chen Youcai almost believed they were close friends.

"Brother Chen, I heard you also participated in the Dragon Tiger Gate's disciple recruitment today. If you don't mind, why don't you join our Dragon Tiger Gate?"

Chen Youcai's mind went blank. Was this a dream?

The head of the Dragon Tiger Gate was personally inviting him to join the Dragon Tiger Gate...

Ouyang Lianyi was even personally treating him. This was clearly a dream.

Long Xing comforted him again: "Brother Chen, focus on recovering first. We can discuss everything else after you're better."

Long Xing was a seasoned veteran, knowing how to balance toughness and gentleness. Chen Youcai, a novice in the martial world, couldn't resist such a gentle approach and was deeply moved by Long Xing and the Dragon Tiger Gate.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a disciple rushed in. Ouyang Lianyi, who had been quietly treating Chen Youcai, suddenly turned cold and icily said, "Get out."

Although Ouyang Lianyi's status wasn't as high as Long Xing's, she was a person of authority in Qingzhou City.

The disciple, scolded by Ouyang Lianyi, immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.

Long Xing frowned, glared at the disciple, and led the way out of the guest room: "What's the rush? Come with me and explain."

"Head of the Sect, Bai Chen has arrived."

"What? How did he come so quickly? Your senior brother should have returned tomorrow, right?"

"Not... Senior Brother hadn't even left the city when he met Bai Chen."

"Hmm? Did Bai Chen hear the news?" Long Xing muttered to himself and then turned to the disciple: "Lead the way."

When Long Xing arrived at the front hall, he saw Bai Chen sitting as a guest, with Long Tuxiao accompanying him.

Looking at Bai Chen's face, which was calm but with a hint of coldness, Long Xing wondered if he already knew what had happened.

Bai Chen stood up and greeted Long Xing with a bow: "Head of the Sect, I'm sorry for the disturbance."

"Bai Chen, you're mistaken. The Dragon Tiger Gate and you are not just acquaintances. Our doors are always open to you. You can come whenever you want. It's too polite to say you're disturbing us."

Bai Chen forced a smile, and Long Xing glanced at Long Tuxiao, who shook his head slightly.

Long Tuxiao was also puzzled. How did Bai Chen know what happened in the city before he even left?

However, he didn't mention it on the way back, seeing that Bai Chen was in a bad mood.

"This time, I'm disturbing the Head of the Sect because I have a request."

"Please, speak freely."

"My brother and sister came to Qingzhou City yesterday, and I happened to be away. I missed them. I hope the Head of the Sect can help me find them. They should have arrived in Qingzhou City yesterday and should be staying at an inn."

So he doesn't know yet. Then why is he acting like this?

Long Tuxiao and Long Xing both thought that he must have encountered something unpleasant on the way.

Long Xing feigned surprise: "Bai Chen's sister, is her name Alán?"

Bai Chen was taken aback and looked at Long Xing with surprise: "So the Head of the Sect has met my sister. Where is she now? Please, Head of the Sect, show me the way."

Long Tuxiao lowered his eyebrows, his face showing a mix of sorrow and anger.

Bai Chen couldn't help but worry. Seeing the expressions of Long Tuxiao and Long Xing, it seemed that something serious had happened.

"Did something happen?"

Long Xing said solemnly: "Bai Chen, please follow me."

Bai Chen quickly stood up and followed Long Xing.

Soon, guided by Long Xing, Bai Chen heard Alán's sobs.

Bai Chen pushed open the door and saw Alán with a bandage on her throat, her face tear-streaked, and a female disciple of the Dragon Tiger Gate comforting her.

But when Alán saw Bai Chen, her tears flowed like a mountain flood, uncontrollable.

"Brother Bai Chen." Alán flew into Bai Chen's arms, crying loudly.

Bai Chen quickly held Alán, his already grim face turning even darker, but he maintained a bit of composure: "Alán, where is your brother?"

"Brother was taken away by the bad guys." Alán sobbed, her tears streaming down her face, wiping her eyes and nose.

Seeing Bai Chen's expression, Long Tuxiao knew the effect was enough. He still looked guilty: "This is all my fault. If I had known that Alán and that young man were Bai Chen's siblings, this wouldn't have happened."

The female disciple beside him also cooperated: "How could those people be so cruel to such a young child?"

Long Tuxiao and Long Xing suddenly felt a burning sensation and saw that Bai Chen's hand, holding Alán, was faintly glowing with fire.

"Alán, don't cry. What exactly happened?"

Alán's voice was hoarse from crying, and she couldn't explain clearly. Bai Chen turned to ask Long Tuxiao.

Long Tuxiao, with a guilty expression, recounted the events, adding a bit of embellishment, and blamed everything on the Iron Scroll Sect.

Alán, sobbing, added to the story, and Bai Chen's face turned icy, his eyes filled with a killing intent.

"By the way, how is the friend who protected Alán?"

Long Xing sighed: "That brother Chen was seriously injured, almost damaging his heart meridian. Fortunately, I stabilized his condition with healing medicinal pills. He's alive, but still in a critical condition."

"Thank you, Head of the Sect. Thank you, Brother Long, for your help. Can you take me to see that brother?"

Long Tuxiao glanced at Long Xing and nodded slightly. Long Xing hesitated: "Alright, but that brother Chen is still seriously injured and his condition is unstable. It's best not to disturb him."

"No problem. I'm good at treating injuries. As long as he's still alive, it's fine." Bai Chen said confidently.

"Your skills, I trust. However, the Iron Scroll Sect, when I sent people to demand the release of your brother, they kept delaying, unwilling to release him."

Bai Chen's smile was cold: "I'll go and get him myself. No need to trouble the Head of the Sect."

"Then, Bai Chen, you should hurry. Your brother injured several people from the Iron Scroll Sect, and they might harm him."

Bai Chen comforted Alán and coldly said: "He deserves it!"
