Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 59

"He’s going to Brawl Forest?" The faces of the disciples changed dramatically. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Tang Le’s Realm Combat Power was unquestionably the strongest in Bing Institute. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been qualified to live in the first room. However, what people feared the most was his constitution: a Poison Physique that could turn geniuses into cripples! Therefore, it wasn’t just that no one could beat Tang Le in terms of martial strength. Even those who could wouldn’t dare to fight him. After all, a slight mishap could lead to being harmed by his Poison Physique!

As he handed the Human Martial Beads to Tang Le, Huang Xu glanced at him and asked meaningfully, "You haven’t been to Brawl Forest in half a year, have you? Is it because of Long Chen? I heard you tried to set him up last night but failed. Now you suddenly decide to go to Brawl Forest today... Are you trying to regain face?"

The disciples exchanged looks. If Tang Le was only going to Brawl Forest to regain face, they just needed to stay far away from him and avoid provoking him.

"Steward Huang, you’ve misunderstood," Tang Le explained hurriedly. "I had no intention of setting up Long Chen last night, and I still don’t. I’m going to Brawl Forest for two reasons: one, to stretch my legs, and two, to strive for a promotion. I don’t want to be expelled from the Sect."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "If Long Chen were to die in Brawl Forest, the Sect would blame me based solely on your speculation. Please, Steward Huang, spare this disciple. Don’t make such wild accusations."

"Is that so?" Huang Xu asked with a cold smile. "When did I ever say you wanted to kill him? Are you not aware that sect rules forbid killing fellow sect members?"

Tang Le’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he mentally cursed Huang Xu’s entire lineage.

Who in the entire Martial Ancestor didn’t know that Huang Xu had repeatedly set up and killed his fellow sect members? He was always meticulous, leaving no loose ends, so no one could ever produce evidence to punish him.

Therefore, based on what Huang Xu had just said, if Long Chen were to really die, the Sect would undoubtedly hold Tang Le responsible! Ultimately, Tang Le was on guard against Huang Xu, afraid the steward would find a way to kill Long Chen and then frame him for the crime.

"I will not be going to Brawl Forest," Tang Le said, clasping his fists. He then took out his Storage Bag to return the Human Martial Beads.

According to sect rules, disciples unwilling to go to Brawl Forest were ineligible to receive Human Martial Beads. The Sect would not waste cultivation resources on the idle and useless. Thus, Tang Le, who had originally planned to test Long Chen and teach him a lesson, had no choice but to abandon the idea.

"You think you can come and go as you please?" Huang Xu’s eyes grew cold. "Is everything up to you?"

Hearing this, Tang Le’s eyelids twitched even more violently. He fought the urge to slap Huang Xu across the face several times.

Just then, Chen Yao sent him a voice transmission. "Go. Protect Long Chen for me, and I will protect you."

Despite this, Tang Le couldn’t feel happy. Huang Xu was a steward and the former Second Senior Brother of the Human Institute, with Realm Combat Power second only to Chen Yao’s. Still, things had come to this. Having Chen Yao’s guarantee was better than having nothing at all.

"I’ll do my best," Tang Le replied, feeling utterly helpless. He had wanted to teach Long Chen a lesson, but now he had to protect him instead. This was all Huang Xu’s fault!

Huang Xu, I swear I’ll slap you to death one of these days! Tang Le fumed internally.

"Esteemed Heads of the Court, we can depart now," Huang Xu said with a playful smile, turning to lead the way.

Chen Yao’s brow furrowed. "We? You’re going to Brawl Forest too?"

"Of course. This time, I am responsible for the disciples’ safety to prevent any incidents of fellow sect members killing each other," Huang Xu said, waving a hand dismissively without looking back.

Chen Yao’s heart sank, and she instinctively clenched her fists.

"Be careful," Chen Yao said in a final voice transmission. "I’m going to find my father now and get his permission to enter Brawl Forest. I’ll help Huang Xu take charge of the disciples’ safety."

With that, Chen Yao hurriedly departed.

As the daughter of the Grand Elder of the Human Court, Chen Yao could naturally exercise special privileges unavailable to other stewards, much like Huang Xu.

I’m really making her worry. Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

Xia Duoduo chimed in, "For this mere Martial Ancestor to have a disciple like you, Young Master, is its greatest fortune! It’s only right that she looks out for you!"

Long Chen glanced at Huang Xu walking ahead, feeling utterly helpless. I hope Chen Yao’s fears are unfounded. Why would he hold such enmity after we’ve only just met? Is Huang Xu really planning to harm me? Then there’s Tang Le and all the other disciples from Bing Institute... they are all my opponents. Well, I’ll just have to subdue the strong ones first and deal with the rest later.

A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.
