Chapter 5736: Luo Yanfeng
As the voice sounded, a large group of disciples dressed in elegant attire walked over. Every one of them was at the Heavenly Saint level of the Thirteen Veins, emanating a powerful Purple Blood energy that exerted tremendous pressure.
When they approached, the enthusiasm of the Luo family disciples seemed to be doused by a bucket of cold water. The fire of their previous enthusiasm instantly extinguished, and they stood there trembling.
Long Chen observed that there were over a hundred people in this group, part of the students he had encountered during his lessons at the square. Speaking among them was a tall and thin man with notably large eyes that seemed to protrude a little, resembling goldfish eyes. His chin was long, resembling a shovel.
His appearance was far from impressive, but his demeanor was dripping with arrogance. Upon seeing Long Chen, he openly taunted him without reservation. Initially, Long Chen felt a bit annoyed by his words, but looking at his appearance, he thought better of it. Who would bother arguing with someone who seemed intellectually challenged?
"Sheng Hui, stop spouting nonsense. This is a descendant of Elder Zichuan's lineage and will also be your brother in the future. Keep your foul mouth in check," an elder from the Luo family stepped forward, coldly reprimanding the man.
Evidently, this guy named Sheng Hui was notorious among the Luo family disciples for his sharp tongue and unlikeable personality. If it weren't for his astonishing talent and boundless potential, he would have been beaten up eight times a day just for his trash-talking mouth.
"Tsk, so it's from that lineage. No wonder these bunch of losers are so excited. Seems like it's a case of country bumpkins meeting their fellow countrymen, eyes brimming with tears. As for me, Sheng Hui, I don't have such 'brothers'. After all, my 'brothers' won't waste our provisions." The man named Sheng Hui shrugged and muttered.
Being one of the top Heavenly prodigies in the Luo family, he was used to being arrogant. More importantly, among the intense competition between the major families within the Purple Blood lineage, if he changed his surname and joined an opposing faction, the Luo family would lose a top-tier prodigy. After all, changing surnames within the Purple Blood lineage wasn't unheard of. Thus, this guy had no qualms and the senior members of the Luo family couldn't do much about him.
"Ha ha ha..."
As Sheng Hui mocked Long Chen and the others, the Luo family disciples accompanying him burst into laughter. However, upon hearing the term "eating free meals," the faces of the Luo family disciples around Long Chen turned unpleasant, yet none of them refuted it.
Seeing this, Luo Yingchen sternly interrupted, "Shut up! Long Chen is..."
Sheng Hui cut Luo Yingchen off, "Let it be, Grandpa Yingchen. I'm not interested in hearing his name. They're just loafing around in the Purple Blood lineage, consuming the Luo family's resources. That has nothing to do with me. But even when you're eating a free meal, you should do it with some dignity. Celebrating so openly, isn't it a bit excessive? Even beggars know to hide in a corner when they're given food and eat it quietly. Who would stand at someone's doorstep shouting and making a fuss?"
Luo Yingchen became furious. This young man had actually grown so arrogant, disrespecting even him, the head of the Luo family. He was ready to teach this guy a lesson, even if it meant kicking him out. Otherwise, he would be driven to his wit's end.
However, before he could take action, Long Chen spoke up, "Let it go, he's just a child. No need to stoop to his level."
This remark caused Sheng Hui's expression to change abruptly. Long Chen's tone was truly audacious.
"Your face looks nice!" After speaking to Luo Yingchen, Long Chen immediately turned to Sheng Hui and said.
Clearly, Sheng Hui didn't understand the intention behind Long Chen's words and assumed he was trying to flatter him. He sneered, "Flattery won't work. I'll say it again, when you're eating a free meal, stay out of the way and eat quietly. Don't smack your lips."
"Did you notice that your face is the same size as my hand?" Long Chen continued, extending his hand.
Long Zhantian sighed quietly to himself. He didn't try to stop Long Chen; after all, that was his son. He couldn't keep letting Long Chen be mistreated.
"Sheng Hui, your mouth really reeks. Did you find a place with no one around and secretly eat shit?" Just then, a burly figure, as broad-shouldered and thick-backed as an iron tower, emerged. He came along with a group of people.
As the burly man appeared, a trace of apprehension flashed in Sheng Hui's eyes. However, he still maintained his defiance, "I'm giving some freeloaders a piece of my mind. What's it to you, Yanfeng? Why are you sticking your nose in?"
"Eating free meals? Your whole family, from the previous generations to your generation, is there not a single generation that lived off the efforts of others? Are you all unparalleled geniuses? If everyone who lives off others should die, what about you, Luo Shenghui? What's your situation? Have you eaten too much shit that it's filled your brain?" The burly man known as Yanfeng crossed his arms over his chest, a cold smile on his face.
"You..." Luo Shenghui seethed with anger.
*Clap, clap, clap...*
Applause broke out, and surprisingly, it was Long Chen who started clapping. While applauding, he also gave a thumbs-up, "Bravo!"
It had to be said that Yanfeng's words were indeed splendid, and he was speaking the truth. Any family, after enduring countless generations, would produce a genius only after several generations. After a few more generations, that genius might even turn into mediocrity. The fluctuations were unpredictable.
No one could guarantee that the next generation would surpass the current one, but at the same time, no one could claim that the next generation would be worse.
Yanfeng had a broad perspective. In essence, even if they were living off others, so what? Could anyone guarantee that there wouldn't be unparalleled geniuses among their descendants?
"Brother, no need to worry. Coming to the Luo family is like coming home. As for what some people say, you can simply dismiss it as nonsense," Yanfeng spoke, walking up to Long Chen and patting his shoulder.
As he continued speaking, his gaze shifted to Luo Shenghui. The latter was gnashing his teeth in anger, yet he didn't dare to erupt because Yanfeng was the top young expert of the Luo family and a leader figure. Although he was also among the top prodigies, he couldn't shake Yanfeng's status.
With Yanfeng showing a protective stance towards Long Chen, Luo Shenghui could only suppress his anger for the moment. He snorted coldly and left with his group.
Seeing Yanfeng's arrival, Luo Yingchen couldn't help shaking his head, "This guy is becoming more and more excessive."
Luo Yanfeng sneered, "Isn't it because of your indulgence? I've wanted to teach him a lesson for a while now. The Luo family has a bit more to gain with him, but not much to lose without him."
Clearly, Luo Yanfeng had long held a dislike for Long Chen. However, Luo Yingchen had always been considering the bigger picture, believing that this guy was just a child and a bit of rebelliousness was normal.
But unexpectedly, this guy had gone beyond simple rebelliousness and had actually become swollen-headed. He no longer respected even the older generation of strong experts like them.
"Yanfeng, your timing is perfect. Take Long Chen for testing. Remember, adhere to the standards and don't leave any loose ends!" Luo Yingchen said.
"Sure, leave it to me. Brother Long Chen, let's go!" Luo Yanfeng enthusiastically draped his arm around Long Chen's shoulder and, surrounded by a group of young disciples, led Long Chen away.
"Zhan Tian, with Yanfeng around, you don't need to worry about Long Chen," one of the elders reassured with a smile, noticing the worried expression on Long Zhantian's face.
"Am I worried about Long Chen? I'm worried about the disciples of your Purple Blood lineage!" Long Zhantian let out a sigh in his heart.
