Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1797: Chapter 1790: Great Gains Come from Taking Risks

”Because of this matter, both your grandfather and I were furious, unable to suppress the killing intent in our hearts anymore, preparing to storm into Beijing. However, I am different from your grandfather; I only care about how well your mother is living, while your grandfather is the overlord of Jiangnan. Although someone sent experts to intercept him, he eventually fought his way to Beijing. But on my way to Beijing, I was stopped; the opponent sent numerous experts to intercept me, as rumors said I was your mother’s father. In that battle, I was ultimately outnumbered, although I killed many interceptors, I was poisoned myself...”

The old man paused here, then continued, ”After being poisoned, the first thing I thought was to venture with my dying body to Beijing, to uproot all the families in Beijing. But I was ultimately stopped by Ji Xingyun; he told me that if I rashly entered Beijing, not only wouldn’t I be able to avenge your mother, but I’d probably not escape death. Eventually, Ji Xingyun persuaded me; I’m not afraid of death, but I know I absolutely must not die. Moreover, if I were to die, it would truly be the end. I must strive to live; I must live to avenge your mother. Because of this belief and Ji Xingyun’s help, the poison within us was suppressed.”

”From that time on, I settled on Qin Island and secretly began to cultivate my own power, to investigate everything. I wanted to know exactly who caused my daughter’s death, and I wanted them all to pay a painful price. At the same time, over these twenty-plus years, I’ve constantly sought various opportunities to annihilate some families in Beijing related to your parents, leaving only the Yang and Tang families. One is a deeply rooted, old Beijing power, and the other has been operating in Shu for hundreds of years. Moving against them rashly wouldn’t only fail, but they’d thwart my efforts. So, I must endure, waiting for a chance to act.”

”More importantly, through my years of investigation, I also discovered something, which Tianxing, you must have learned from Ji Xingyun.”

The old man sighed softly, fixed his gaze on Lu Tianxing, and said solemnly, ”Those families that dared to ambush your father back then had the audacity because there was a hidden mastermind behind the scenes, which you must know. He is the Heavenly God.”

”Heavenly God?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s face flashed with a hint of confusion. According to Ji Xingyun, if the Long Family wanted to pass down their lineage, their lifespan wouldn’t be very long. It’s been over twenty years since his father’s death. If the Heavenly God really planned it, wouldn’t it mean the Long Family found a way to lift the curse?

Seeing the doubt in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, the old man slowly spoke, ”The Heavenly God is not one person but a code name. Every generation’s most outstanding talent in the Long Family is the Heavenly God, the future leader of the Long Family. Your father died at the hands of the previous generation’s Heavenly God, and now the person who has placed a bounty on Zhiqing’s life is the Long Family’s current generation’s Heavenly God.”

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Lu Tianxing’s eyes flashed with intense killing intent. New grudges and old feuds, it seems he must make a trip to Japan.

”Tianxing, do you also have the Four Symbols Ring?” The old man looked at Lu Tianxing and suddenly asked.

”Yes.”

Lu Tianxing gently nodded, ”I have two Four Symbols Rings.”

”Jiang....”

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing, sitting beside him, was about to call Elder Jiang, but realizing the old man’s identity, she immediately stopped and corrected herself, ”Grandpa, does this mean if we gather all four Four Symbols Rings, we can open the so-called Qi Refiner’s Grave? Is there really immortality power inside?”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s address, the old man’s face showed a slight smile; he nodded and said, ”As for whether there’s immortality power within the Qi Refiner’s Grave, I don’t know, but I’m sure it holds unimaginable power, capable of letting someone break through to the Earthly Immortal level.”

”Earthly Immortal? Grandpa, does this level truly exist?”

Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru were slightly stunned; staying with Lu Tianxing, they naturally knew the division of Martial Artist levels.

”I don’t know.”
