Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Is Mu Can an Ordinary Person?Hearing Zhang Baobao’s words, Long Xingjian didn’t show the slightest hint of anger; instead, he smiled and lightly patted Zhang Baobao on the shoulder. "Young man, I must admit, you’ve got courage... But as a minor Martial Arts Sect, what abilities do you have to marry my daughter, Long Xingjian?" To Long Xingjian, Zhang Baobao’s disposition was not commendable, but his courage was somewhat interesting. The question caught Zhang Baobao off guard. After all, the Zhang Family had always kept behind the scenes in the Mortal World, inconspicuous in fame; even if he claimed his family name, Long Xingjian might still confusingly ask him which Zhang Family. Yet, at present, he had nothing else to convince Long Xingjian with. For the first time in his life, Zhang Baobao doubted the decision of his family to remain hidden; despite its strength, the Zhang Family’s reputation wasn’t something that could be used to pressure others. Seeing the troubled look on Zhang Baobao’s face, Long Xingjian patted him on the shoulder again. "I..." Zhang Baobao, who often left Long Yunyun speechless, now stammered, unable to say anything. He really wanted to boast loudly to Long Xingjian that the wealth of his Zhang Family rivalled that of nations and that he had a bodyguard of Martial Venerate Level by his side. But he simply couldn’t bring himself to say it. At this moment, Mu Can was the one who understood Zhang Baobao’s predicament the best, giving a helpless smile. "Uncle, it’s not right to say that," Mu Can slowly stepped forward and said. "Mu Can." Seeing Mu Can speak up, Long Yunyun looked at him worriedly. In her heart, Mu Can was so mysterious and strong; she was not willing to see any conflict between Mu Can and her father, as Mu Can could even instantly defeat a Martial King. Zhang Baobao, hearing Mu Can speak, looked at him gratefully. It was his first experience with such a loss of face. "And who might you be?" Long Xingjian asked displeasingly as he saw Mu Can stepping forward. Mu Can replied politely: "Uncle, my name is Mu Can, a friend of your daughter." "Friend? When did my daughter start making friends with ordinary people?" Long Xingjian bit down on the words ’ordinary people’ heavily. "Dad, Mu Can is no ordinary person; he is a Pill Master who can refine Enlightenment Pills," Long Yunyun hastily said. "So what if he can refine Enlightenment Pills? Though the Pill Masters capable of doing so are common in the Mortal World, they aren’t exactly rare either." Although he said this, Long Xingjian’s tone softened a bit, revealing the value of Mu Can’s status as a Pill Master. "Dad, I haven’t finished. Mu Can is also a Pill Master who can instantaneously kill a Martial King," Long Yunyun continued, seeing her father’s indifferent attitude. Long Xingjian glanced at Long Yunyun, thinking he had misheard. Looking at Mu Can, who seemed to be around twenty years old, it was impossible for him to possess the strength to kill a Martial King instantly; had he, Long Xingjian, been cultivating in vain all these years? "Impossible, he’s too young." The only thought in Long Xingjian’s mind was that Long Yunyun must have been deceived by Mu Can. Clearly, Mu Can seemed like an ordinary person, so how could he possibly have the power to kill a Martial King instantly? "If uncle doesn’t believe it, you can have someone try," Mu Can said, looking unfazed. Considering Long Xingjian’s current reaction, unless he saw Mu Can’s real strength, gaining the support of the Long Family to enter Jue Ming Valley wouldn’t be easy. If that’s the case, then Mu Can wouldn’t mind having a bout with Long Xingjian. Thinking this, Mu Can’s expression was one of eager anticipation. After all, I only intended to use your knowledge about Jue Ming Valley to rescue someone; I never wanted to become the son-in-law of the Long Family, so why fear offending you? To people like Long Xingjian, showing them one’s formidable strength was the best way to gain their regard. Mu Can chuckled to himself, eager to see how the Long Family would treat a Pill Master who could instantly kill powerful beings at the Martial King Level. Upon hearing Mu Can’s words, Long Xingjian was also slightly startled. This wasn’t what he had expected. Wasn’t Mu Can supposed to be a fraud? Why then did his face show a look full of eagerness to try, bold enough even to challenge a Martial King in battle? "Hehe, although I don’t know by what means you’ve deceived my daughter, today I shall see how long you can keep up your act," Long Xingjian said as he saw Mu Can, who appeared indifferent. Killing a Martial King Level fighter at the age of twenty was nothing short of a myth in the cultivation world. "Tian Yi." Long Xingjian called out softly, and a figure appeared before the crowd. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the hierarchy of the Long Family, four forces hold the reins of power, and among them, the Tian group is entirely composed of experts at the Martial King Level. "Tian Yi is here," said Tian Yi, who was dressed in black. He slightly bowed to Long Xingjian after revealing himself. "Test his skills for me, but make sure to go easy on him, lest others say the Long Family lacks the proper manners to treat a guest," Long Xingjian instructed Tian Yi. Long Xingjian himself wanted to test Mu Can, but being the father of Long Yunyun and an Elder in name, it seemed somewhat improper for him to make a move directly. On the other hand, Long Xingjian also secretly considered that even if there were one in a ten thousand chance Mu Can was a peerless expert, by not taking action himself, there would be no shame in losing to his daughter’s friend, a junior. "Uncle, before that, there is something I wish to ask of you," Mu Can said with a cupped fist salute. Impatiently glancing at Mu Can, Long Xingjian waved his hand in disgust, "Whatever it is, we can discuss it once you’ve defeated him. Don’t just ask for one thing, I’ll help you with a hundred." Upon hearing Mu Can’s words, Long Xingjian now fully regarded him as a petty swindler who had tricked Long Yunyun and was looking to reap some benefit, which made him increasingly repulsed. "Good. Since uncle has said this, then I am reassured," Mu Can said with a smile, despite noticing the impatience in Long Xingjian’s eyes. He was not at all afraid that Long Xingjian would later deny his words. As the head of the Long Family, he was a person of status and reputation, and certainly would want to save face. Handing off the little Blessing, who had somehow climbed onto his shoulder again, to his companion Xiao Bao. "Brother, go for it." Taking the little Blessing from him, Xiao Bao raised a small fist to Mu Can, cheering him on. "Rest assured," Mu Can said with a smile, patting Xiao Bao’s smooth little head. A powerful confidence emanated from Mu Can. To him, facing a mere Martial King was no issue at all. With a gesture inviting Tian Yi to proceed, Mu Can strode confidently toward the open space beside them. Watching Mu Can, Tian Yi smiled and followed at a leisurely pace. As the top member of the Long Family’s Tian group, Tian Yi aimed to advance to the Long Family’s Elder Council. In the Long Family, only those at the Martial Venerate Level could become members of the Elder Council, where they would gain access to the family’s best cultivation resources. "Go for it, Brother Can," although Zhang Baobao had never seen Mu Can in action, her understanding of him from their interactions over some time assured her that Mu Can wouldn’t behave so impulsively without confidence. This proved one thing: Mu Can truly had the power to instantly kill a Martial King.
