"Heh, I, Qiu Hanying, am not one to break my word. You don't need to remind me!"
Hearing Long Hongda's threat, Qiu Hanying snorted coldly.
How could she not understand the meaning behind his words? Wasn't he just threatening her not to think of escaping?
At this point, she wouldn't be so foolish.
Given the Long family's status and position in the Long Country, even if she truly escaped Zhejiang Province.
As long as the Long family gave an order, no matter how far she fled, she would be captured and brought back immediately!
"Alright, if that's the case, then President Qiu, please do as you please."
After both sides had settled, Long Hongyuan smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
As Long Hongyuan spoke, Long Hongda moved aside, voluntarily allowing Qiu Hanying to leave.
After Qiu Hanying left, Long Wenhua immediately came to Long Hongyuan's side, looking puzzled.
"Seventh Young Master, what if she runs away?"
"Isn't she just a woman? Can't you just take her? Why go through all this trouble?"
At this moment, Long Wenhua was truly baffled. He couldn't understand why Long Hongyuan would agree to Qiu Hanying's request.
Everyone in this private room was no fool. Almost everyone knew that Qiu Hanying was just stalling for time.
Before, when he met the Long Hongyuan brothers in the neighboring province, they each had a young model in their arms, without caring if the other party agreed.
How come with this Qiu Hanying, he suddenly had to act like a gentleman?
"Hmph, what do you know?"
"This woman is different from other women!"
Long Hongyuan snorted coldly, his expression full of disdain.
He knew Qiu Hanying was stalling, but he was also confident that no matter what she tried to do, he could handle it with his own methods.
A woman like this was like a wild horse. Once tamed, she would be eternally loyal to her master.
She was completely different from those starlets and young models. Her aura fascinated Long Hongyuan!
To win the heart of such a woman would undoubtedly be one of life's greatest joys!
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, yes, Seventh Young Master is right."
"It's just chasing a girl. With your charm, you'll definitely conquer her in the end!"
Hearing Long Hongyuan's words, Long Wenhua, though scoffing inwardly, outwardly feigned agreement.
To Long Wenhua, an unwilling peach might not be sweet, but it quenched thirst!
Before, he had always thought that these women who didn't cultivate were just ordinary mortals, not worth mentioning.
But he had to admit that Qiu Hanying was indeed a rare beauty!
The ethereal aura she possessed was something many women who had cultivated lacked.
No wonder this pampered young master was captivated by her and agreed to such a peculiar request!
"Alright, alright, enough with the flattery. Come, let's drink and eat!"
Looking at the closed private room door, Long Hongyuan was full of confidence.
Although he knew Long Wenhua was flattering him, he was also confident that Qiu Hanying would eventually become his woman!
...
At the same time, after Qiu Hanying escaped the private room, she quickly found an empty spot and took out her phone to call Lin Chen.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
The busy tone on the phone made Qiu Hanying's heart sink.
But she had known Lin Chen for quite some time, and she had encountered such situations before.
According to Lin Chen himself, he couldn't get a signal when he was in seclusion.
"Forget it. I hope you, this troublemaker, can return in time."
Unable to get through on the phone, Qiu Hanying felt helpless.
If other families bullied her, she could seek help from the Long family.
But now, the one bullying her was precisely this Long family!
Besides waiting for Lin Chen to return, she truly had no other options!
However, Lin Chen was still in seclusion within the Nine Dragon Ring and was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
His previous battle with Wu Quangui had caused the meridians in his body to operate at full speed, completely breaking through the barrier.
After a full month of cultivation in the Nine Dragon Ring, Lin Chen finally slowly opened his eyes, his seclusion ended.
"Phew, although I didn't break through my cultivation during this seclusion, the circulation of spiritual energy in my meridians has become smoother."
"My strength should also be considerably stronger than before!"
Feeling the immense spiritual energy within his body, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Originally, he could have used this realization to elevate his cultivation to the late stage of Core Formation.
But Lin Chen knew better. As the saying goes, a ten-thousand-foot tower is built from the ground up. If the foundation isn't solid, no matter how high the cultivation, it will always be superficial.
Wu Quangui, a powerful cultivator at the Half-step Nascent Soul stage, had ultimately fallen to the combined efforts of him and Zhang Ying.
This wasn't because he and Zhang Ying were too powerful, but rather because Wu Quangui himself hadn't laid a solid foundation!
His entire Half-step Nascent Soul cultivation was built upon heavenly treasures, while his actual combat skills were virtually nonexistent.
Because of this, during the battle with him, even though he had life-saving treasures in his storage bag, he didn't use them due to underestimation.
Such a mistake must never happen to him!
It was for this reason that Lin Chen had diligently suppressed his cultivation and hadn't broken through.
"Oh, Lin Chen, you're finally out of seclusion!"
Seeing Lin Chen emerge, Zhang Ying immediately stepped forward, her expression full of joy.
"Yes, let's go. We should head back to Zhejiang Province too!"
Seeing his senior sister, Lin Chen nodded, his face also filled with joy.
The Southwest Grand Competition had indeed yielded him immense gains.
Coupled with the annihilation of the entire Liu family's elite forces, upon returning to Zhejiang Province, the Long family and Ru Shuang Group would surely develop even better!
"Okay, Yu Ling also called to urge us."
"However, it seems some things have happened in Zhejiang Province, and they are urging us to return."
Zhang Ying nodded and said to Lin Chen.
"What? Something happened in Zhejiang Province? And Yu Ling is urging us to go back?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen's brows furrowed.
He understood Long Yu Ling's personality. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, she wouldn't have called Zhang Ying.
He was in seclusion in the Nine Dragon Ring, so his phone had no signal.
Long Yu Ling must have been unable to contact him, but the situation was extremely urgent, so she had no choice but to call Zhang Ying!
"Yes, she also said that she wants you to be high-profile when you return."
"Also, absolutely do not forgive others."
"But I don't know what those words really mean."
Zhang Ying shrugged, looking helpless.
The words Long Yu Ling asked her to relay were indeed very strange, making it impossible to understand.
