Chapter 7026 Path Guidance Tablet

Long Chen looked over to see a tall, elegant man with a fair complexion walking over.

Although he was doing his best to look calm, his gaze spoke clearly of the tension he was feeling. In fact, Long Chen could tell he was even a little angry. This handsome man was followed by a dozen or so young disciples. There were both men and women, and all of them radiated powerful auras.

Seeing Xie Wanyi walk into the Violet Abyss Treasure Pavilion with a man startled these disciples. Xie Wanyi was known as one of the best catches of the violet blood race; although she hadn’t been here for long, she was already classified as one of the Violet Abyss’s four divine daughters.

As for this man, his name was Luo Dongcheng. He was also on the Violet Abyss Golden Ranking; furthermore, he was ranked third. He had only just come here with a group of disciples, and coincidentally happened to run into Xie Wanyi and Long Chen.

Luo Dongcheng was Xie Wanyi’s earliest and most fervent suitor. In fact, the very moment that Xie Wanyi arrived in the Violet abyss, he had brazenly confessed his feelings for her.

At that time, Xie Wanyi had yet to take the divine staircase trial, and was not yet part of the Violet Abyss Golden Ranking. Obviously, this had nothing to do with her power; in Luo Dongcheng’s own words, it was simply love at first sight. In fact, he had even beaten up quite a few other people who tried to hit on Xie Wanyi. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

All in all, he had caused quite the fuss. In fact, even the Abyss Lord had called him over and viciously scolded him. Only then did things calm down. But although he no longer tried to beat up other suitors, Luo Dongcheng was still the most fervent among those pursuing Xie Wanyi.

As for Xie Wanyi, she expressed that she was focused on cultivation, and was not thinking about romance for the time being. Even so, she still had many suitors claiming their love.

Normally, Xie Wanyi deliberately maintained a certain distance from any man. But today, she was standing right by Long Chen’s side and smiling sweetly. The warmth in her gaze was something none of them had seen before.

Long Chen looked at Luo Dongcheng and couldn’t help but chuckle. Even without anyone explaining anything, he would have had to be a complete moron not to notice what was going on. “Oh? Is this your wannabe boyfriend or something?”

It was only to be expected. Xie Wanyi was an outstanding person. Anyone who wasn’t blind could see that. She was exceptionally talented, but also humble; she was beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. She could even be called a perfect woman, and marrying her would definitely be a major blessing.

Luo Dongcheng took a deep breath and did his best to stay calm. He looked at Long Chen. “Who are you?”

Suddenly, a hint of mischievousness flashed through Xie Wanyi’s eyes. She reached out and grabbed Long Chen’s elbow.

“Why don’t you guess?”

Luo Dongcheng’s head buzzed. Suddenly, he felt like the world was spinning around him, and almost collapsed.

“Senior apprentice-brother Dongcheng!”

The people beside him cried out and hastily caught him.

“You... I...”

Luo Dongcheng stuttered and pointed at Long Chen with a trembling hand.

“His aura is this weak and frail. What do you see in him? Is it all just because of his face?!”

Luo Dongcheng was almost crying. He, the great rank three heavenly genius of the Violet Abyss Golden Ranking, had no idea in what way he was inferior to this random person. After all, other than his face, Long Chen looked completely mediocre in all regards. Luo Dongcheng felt his heart shattering.

“Senior apprentice-brother Dongcheng, you only just finished your karmic luck blood merger. You can’t get too emotional!” a female disciple hastily warned him.

Luo Dongcheng took deep breaths one after the other. He looked as if he was about to eat Long Chen alive, shoes and all. In fact, he very much wanted to say some vicious words to him, but seeing Xie Wanyi beside him, he fell silent. He left with everyone, just like that.

Long Chen raised an eyebrow at the giggling Xie Wanyi. “I never knew you had a naughty side!”

“Hehe, it’s just a joke!” Xie Wanyi laughed. This rare moment from her felt exceptionally fun to her.

“If you like him, why do you tease him like this?” asked Long Chen curiously.

Xie Wanyi instantly turned red. “I... big brother, what are you saying?”

“Ha, do you think I was born yesterday? Others may not see the way you look at him, but you can’t hide it from me,” declared Long Chen.

Just who was Long Chen? He had been playing this game for a long time now, so how could he not tell that Luo Dongcheng’s feelings were reciprocated? With Xie Wanyi’s personality, if she had really disliked Luo Dongcheng, she would have treated him coldly and simply maintained distance from him. She definitely wouldn’t have teased him like this.

To his misfortune, Luo Dongcheng was still immature, and too thick-headed to even think of this. More importantly, Luo Dongcheng had sincere feelings for Xie Wanyi. It was obvious that his first impulse had been to threaten Long Chen, and even challenge him. But ultimately, he didn’t want to make Xie Wanyi feel bad, and so he gave up.

Long Chen really hadn’t expected Xie Wanyi to have a mischievous side. Why was she bullying such an innocent child? As expected, a woman’s heart was the greatest enigma. Even a good person could have an evil side.

“Look at how many women he has around him. What’s wrong with giving him a hard time? My future husband must be devoted to me alone. If he can’t do that, he has no chance!” declared Xie Wanyi as she pulled Long Chen forward.

Ah. I see. So that was the situation.

Xie Wanyi might be gentle-hearted, but she had her own principles she stood by.

Long Chen thought of Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and the others, and his heart ached. How could he not understand this? It was perfectly normal to think this way; most women thought the same. Furthermore, all of them stood head and shoulders above the masses, and any of them could have had any man they wanted. Yet even so, they never expressed their grievance to Long Chen. Even the most jealous one, Tang Wan-er, kept her bitterness inside.

He had no way to ever repay them for this.

Seeing Long Chen fall silent, Xie Wanyi immediately realized that she had misspoken. “Big brother, I wasn’t talking about you. You’re so outstanding, I’m sure that my sister-in-laws are all incredibly overjoyed to be with you!”

Long Chen rubbed Xie Wanyi’s head and smiled. “Come one, show me the foundation of Violet Abyss!”

Xie Wanyi blushed slightly. She could feel that Long Chen truly viewed her as his own little sister. No matter what kind of mistake she made, her big brother would not get angry with her. No matter what, this big brother would always protect her.

“Big brother, come with me! I’ll bring you somewhere nice!”

Xie Wanyi excitedly led the way, still holding Long Chen’s arm. They passed through an ancient gate and arrived at a wide plaza.

There was a massive stone tablet here, so tall that it seemed to reach the clouds. There were esoteric runes carved onto it, and those runes were constantly vibrating. Divine light occasionally descended from them. There were quite a few disciples around it, and none of them looked calm. Some of them seemed quite happy, while others were obviously disappointed.

“What is this?” asked Long Chen.

“This is the Sovereign Path Guidance Tablet. Hehe, I want to see what kind of guidance it will give you! Come on, let’s line up!”

“Heavens... it’s Fairy Wanyi!”

The moment Xie Wanyi appeared, she instantly caused a ruckus. But the moment they saw her holding the arm of a man, the onlookers immediately felt their hearts sink.
