Douluo: Wuhun Magic Harp, summoning ancient beasts

Chapter 198 The Road to Revenge

Ye Lingling walked in this desolate mansion, her heart filled with sadness.

She recalled the happy times she spent here as a child, and the laughter seemed still echoing in her ears.

However, all this is now a thing of the past, leaving only this desolate mansion.

Long Chen and Ye Lingling had the same feeling.

He also grew up in this yard and has feelings for everything here.

Ye Lingling sighed softly:
"I never thought our home would become like this."

Long Chen gently held Ye Lingling's hand and gave her silent comfort:

"Lingling, if it weren't for me, the Ye Mansion wouldn't have become so desolate. But it won't always be like this. I will let it return to its former warm home."

Ye Lingling shook her head slightly.

"Brother Chen, this has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault. Without you, my mother and I would never have been able to escape the shackles of the fate of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Master, and my father would not have achieved what he has today. It was you who changed our destiny. As long as we are together, anywhere can be home."

Long Chen smiled with relief.

"Let's go inside and take a look."

"Ah."

The two of them went inside the house and looked around.

After a moment, he walked out of the gate of Ye Mansion with reluctance to leave.

I had just taken a few steps when I heard hurried footsteps.

Then, a group of soldiers appeared.

They surrounded Long Chen and Ye Lingling.

The leader shouted loudly:
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the sealed Ye Mansion!"

Long Chen grinned and said disdainfully:
"This is our home. I can come and go as I please. Who dares to stop me?"

After hearing this, those people couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"You are Long Chen?"

These soldiers had never seen Long Chen, but they had already heard of his glorious battle record and the fact that he had devoured many soul masters, including some Soul Douluo-level masters.

Long Chen did not answer that person's words, but said coldly:

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Long Chen's words penetrated the air like ice, and every word carried unquestionable power.

He did not move, but an invisible pressure emanated from his body, causing the soldiers around him to feel a palpitation involuntarily.

The soldiers looked at each other and saw fear and anxiety in each other's eyes.

They were just following orders, but they didn't expect to meet Long Chen.

The leader swallowed his saliva and tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled involuntarily:

"We were just ordered to guard the Ye Mansion, and we have no other intentions."

Long Chen snorted coldly.

“Tell old man Xue Ye that the Ye Mansion is not a place he can arbitrarily ban! You guys take good care of it. One day, I will come back.”

"Yes"

The soldiers stepped back one after another, making way for him, their eyes full of awe.

Long Chen took Ye Lingling's hand and strode through them.

The two came to the street.

"Brother Chen, where are we going now?"

"Go to Guang'antang."

"Guang'antang? I haven't been to the clinic where you studied medicine."

"Yeah. I haven't seen you for a few years. I wonder how Manager Liu and the others are doing."

Long Chen brought Ye Lingling and soon arrived at the gate of Guang'an Hall.

However, the scene before them made them both stunned.

The original simple signboard no longer exists, replaced by a brand new, shiny plaque.

There was an unfamiliar name engraved on the plaque, but it was still a medical clinic.

All signs indicate that the clinic has changed owners and has only recently undergone a large-scale renovation. Long Chen frowned slightly, with a bad premonition in his heart.

"Brother Chen, has Guang'an Hall changed its name?"

"It seems the owner has changed. Let's go in and ask."

The two of them walked into the clinic's door.

Long Chen looked around quickly.

The furnishings in the clinic were very different from what I remembered.

However, the familiar scent of medicine still lingers in the air, bringing back memories of the past.

Just as Long Chen was looking around, a young man in waiter's clothes walked out from behind the counter.

Long Chen took a closer look and found that although the appearance had changed, the sense of intimacy remained.

The man was Xiaoliu, whom he knew, who was only two or three years older than him.

When he studied medicine here, Xiaoliu was also here.

"Brother Xiao Liu!"

Xiao Liu was stunned, and looked at the imposing young man in front of him in confusion. He obviously could not immediately connect him with the Long Chen in his memory.

After all, when Long Chen studied medicine here, he was still a young boy and looked no different from an ordinary person.

"you are?"

Long Chen smiled slightly and introduced himself:

"I'm Xiaochen, Longchen, don't you remember me?"

When Xiaoliu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he took a step back suddenly, obviously shocked by Long Chen's current reputation.

Rumors about Long Chen have long been rife in Tiandou City. He is regarded as an evil soul master with powerful devouring abilities.

"Xiaochen? Are you really Xiaochen?"

There was a complex emotion in Xiaoliu's voice, a mixture of fear and joy of reunion after a long separation.

"It's me, Brother Xiaoliu. Don't be afraid, I just wanted to come back to see you. By the way, has the person here been replaced? Where is Manager Liu?"

Xiao Liu stared at Long Chen, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Xiaochen, I believe you are not the person the rumors say you are. Shopkeeper Liu... unfortunately passed away in a fire three months ago, and Guang'antang was also burned down by the fire. Now a new boss has taken over and reopened it."

When Long Chen heard this, his heart sank.

When he was studying medicine in Guang'antang, Manager Liu treated him well and taught him a lot of knowledge about detoxification.

Long ago, he realized that he might cause trouble to Manager Liu in the future, so he deliberately kept his distance from him and did not reveal to outsiders that he was studying medicine in Guang'antang.

This sudden sadness made Long Chen speechless for a moment.

He guessed that Manager Liu might have died because of him.

After a moment of silence, Long Chen asked:
"Brother Xiaoliu, has anyone come to ask about me in the past two years?"

Xiao Liu thought about it and nodded:
"A year ago, two people came here, one old and one young, and they seemed to be soul masters. They asked Manager Liu a lot of questions about you."

"Do you still remember what they looked like?"

"Yeah, remember."

Then, Xiaoliu described the appearance of the two people.

Long Chen and Ye Lingling looked at each other and already had some guesses in their minds.

According to Xiaoliu's description, those two people were most likely Yu Luomian and Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Afterwards, Long Chen took Ye Lingling away.

On the way, Long Chen remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother Chen, are you thinking about Manager Liu?"

"Hmm. It seems that he didn't die in an accident, but in arson."

"You suspect Yu Luomian and Yu Tianheng?"

Long Chen nodded slightly.

"It could be them. Judging from the time, the fire in Guang'an Hall happened just after Tang Hao's death and before Tang San and his party came to Sunset Forest. It could also be Tang San's doing. However, Yu Luomian and Yu Tianheng came to find me, so they must be involved in this matter!"

There was murderous intent in Long Chen's words, and the flame of revenge ignited in his heart.
