Xiao Chen stared at the person on the chair above with a look of surprise on his face.
"Why can't it be me?"
The person on the chair above slowly stood up. It was Mr. Long from Longmen Inn—Long Zhuifeng!
"I……"
Xiao Chen opened his mouth, yes, why can't it be him?
You know, he had doubted Mr. Long's identity many times. It should not be as simple as just guarding a Longmen Inn...perhaps, he would have other identities.
He even thought several times whether Mr. Long might be from the [Dragon Emperor].
After he went to Badi, he learned about the [Dragon King] system, with the Dragon Soul Palace at the top and eight heavenly dragons at the bottom... At that time, he was thinking, would Mr. Long be the dragon head of the East China branch?
After he came back, he went to the Longmen Inn and asked about everything, but was distracted by a few words from Mr. Long.
Then he thought about it, if Mr. Long is really the head of the dragon, some things are really not right.
So he didn't think about it anymore. Unexpectedly... Mr. Long appeared here.
"You are...Dragon Head?"
Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Long and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Why didn't you tell me before and kept it secret from me for so long?"
"Who told you that I am the head of a dragon?"
Mr. Long shook his head.
"Huh? You're not Dragon Head? Then why are you here?"
Xiao Chen opened his eyes wide, showing surprise.
"The dragon head is right next to you, you just didn't know it."
Mr. Long smiled.
"Next to me?"
After hearing what Mr. Long said, Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Bufan and Mr. Chen. Could one of them be the dragon head?
Soon, he ignored Old Man Chen. How could he be the leader of a dragon with such a dog-like temper?
"Hey, boy, what do you mean?"
Old man Chen noticed Xiao Chen's gaze and became a little unhappy.
"You are definitely not the Dragon Head...Mr. Nangong, are you the Dragon Head of East China?"
Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Bufan and asked.
"Um."
Nangong Bufan chuckled and nodded.
"..."
Xiao Chen was stunned, was it really him?
He looked up and down again at Nangong Bufan, who was dressed in Tsing Yi... In fact, Nangong Bufan was the head of a dragon, which was far from what he had imagined!
If nothing else, take a look at Badi's dragon head. The one named Li Ming is dressed in bright yellow robes and has extraordinary momentum, just like an ancient emperor!
But when he thought of the former dragon-headed wine master in Badi, he twitched his lips again, looking slovenly... It seemed that his temperament could not determine anything.
"Haha, that's a surprise, isn't it?"
Nangong Bufan looked at Xiao Chen and asked with a smile.
"Very surprised……"
Xiao Chen nodded, suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Mr. Long.
Nangong Bufan is the leader of the East China Dragon, what about Mr. Long?
Who is he?
"I've met the Dragon Lord!"
Before Mr. Long could speak, Nangong Bufan and Mr. Chen took a step forward, cupped their hands, and explained Mr. Long's identity.
What?
Dragon Lord?
Xiao Chen's eyes widened when he heard what the two said. He turned out to be the Dragon Lord?
Canthus~
Xiao Chen took a breath, Elder Long's identity really shocked him.
Dragon Lord, the current actual controller of [Dragon Emperor]!
[Dragon King] has three major commanders. The Dragon King is mysterious and abnormal, and the dragon sees its head but not its tail... The Dragon King cannot go out in seclusion and does not care about world affairs... Only the Dragon Lord is left outside, in charge of the huge [Dragon King]!
Even if he once made a random guess as to whether Mr. Long would be the Dragon Emperor... But that was just a guess!
At this time, he was still shocked when he learned the true identity of Mr. Long.
"You...are the Dragon Lord?"
Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Long and still couldn't believe it.
"Well, one of my identities is the Dragon Lord."
Mr. Long nodded and admitted.
Today he asked Nangong Bufan to bring Xiao Chen here just to admit his identity.
Otherwise, he wouldn't let Xiao Chen come over.
In his opinion, Xiao Chen has grown up very quickly and can already know some things.
In the past, Xiao Chen was more or less under their protection, but now that he has grown up, he doesn't need much protection from them anymore!
It's time to let him know some things, including his identity.
"One of the identities?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was stunned.
"What other identity do you have?"
"Mr. Long of Longmen Inn. When I travel around the world, I mostly use the identity of 'Mr. Long'."
Mr. Long said with a smile.
"..."
Xiao Chen was stunned. Is his identity also kept secret?
Suddenly, he thought of something.
The seventh uncle Xiao Lin mentioned something back then... Mr. Long was called the 'Dragon Lord'.
Xiao Chen just listened casually and thought it might be a title or something. For example, Xue Chunqiu was called the 'God of Swords', and Zhao Rulai was called the 'Ghost Buddha'. He didn't regard these two words as someone at all.
an identity.
Perhaps, most people in the ancient martial arts world do not associate the word 'Dragon Lord' with the Dragon King's Dragon Lord.
"I really didn't expect that you, the Dragon Lord...are the real Dragon Lord."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xiao Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Hahaha."
Mr. Long laughed.
"Stop standing around, come and sit!"
"Um."
Xiao Chen also recovered from the shock. When he looked at Mr. Long in front of him... he didn't feel too strange.
Therefore, he did not feel too alienated by Mr. Long's new identity, and sat on the chair next to him as usual.
"Boy, that's the seat of the eight dragon heads."
Old man Chen said to Xiao Chen.
"Um?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and counted, weren't they just eight chairs?
However, he didn't care much.
"Isn't the chair just for people to sit on? I can't sit down even if they're not here?"
"..."
Old Man Chen was speechless.
"Haha, okay, everyone, sit down."
Elder Long smiled and looked at the injuries on Old Chen's face.
"Old Chen, were you beaten?"
"Well, this kid... is too strong!"
Old Man Chen and Mr. Long were old acquaintances, and they were quite casual. They nodded and sat next to them.
"Grandpa Long."
Nangong Ling looked at Mr. Long and greeted him respectfully.
"Girl Ling, hehe, sit down too."
Mr. Long looked at Nangong Ling, then at Xiao Chen, with a bigger smile on his face.
"Yes, Grandpa Long."
Nangong Ling nodded and sat next to him.
"..."
Xiao Chen felt a little depressed when he saw this scene... Damn it, everyone here knows each other, is he the only fool?
Even Nangong Ling knew the identity of Mr. Long, but he was kept in the dark.
These old guys... are so abominable, so mysterious all day long!
It’s just an identity, there’s nothing you can’t say!
"Xiao Chen, actually... I don't mean to hide all this from you, but I think it might be better not to tell you."
Elder Long seemed to have guessed what Xiao Chen was thinking. He looked at him and said slowly.
"Ever since you came to Longhai, you have stirred up a storm... Everything was originally under control, including your visit to me! But later, something happened that was beyond my expectation and I couldn't change."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and asked curiously.
"My senior brother is here to help you..."
Elder Long felt a little helpless when he mentioned this matter now.
He never thought that his senior brother Nie Jingfeng would become brothers with Xiao Chen... Forget it, he even gave the alliance leader order to Xiao Chen!
"Well, this is...fate."
Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Long and said with a smile.
"fate……"
Mr. Long twitched his lips, he knew how Xiao Chen deceived his senior brother back then.
However, senior brother still did Xiao Chen’s trick!
"My eldest brother also knows that one day I will be awesome...so we cherish each other."
Xiao Chen said again.
"okay."
Mr. Long couldn't stand listening anymore.
"I can't be the master of my senior brother's affairs...but the alliance leader's order is in your hands, so don't use it indiscriminately."
"Yeah, I know, I haven't used it either."
Xiao Chen nodded, then felt helpless.
"Actually, it's useless. No one recognizes the 'Leader's Order' now."
"It will be useful."
Mr. Long took a deep look at Xiao Chen. In troubled times, an 'alliance leader' must be needed, and now that troubled times are about to begin, the alliance leader's order will be even more useful!
However, he did not plan to tell Xiao Chen now so as not to put too much pressure on him.
But when he thought about it again, would this kid be under pressure?
Probably not!
"Will it be useful?"
Xiao Chen noticed Mr. Long's gaze, his heart moved, and then he thought of something... Mr. Long must know that No. 1 wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance by himself, right?
With his identity as 'Long Lao', he can't get along with No. 1, but his identity as 'Dragon Lord' is enough!
Here... what roles do they play?
And my old fortune teller...
Thinking of the old fortune teller, Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Long and couldn't help but ask: "Old Long, let me ask you something. Is the old fortune teller the Dragon Emperor?"
"no."
Mr. Long shook his head.
"Then...is it the Dragon King?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"No."
Mr. Long continued to shake his head.
"Then what is he?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"He is an old fortune teller."
Mr. Long smiled.
"Don't think too much. It's your turn to know. You will know naturally... Look, when the time comes, won't I appear in front of you?"
"Then why did you appear in front of me?"
Xiao Chen was helpless, dealing with these old guys was really tiring.
"You can leave the Dragon Emperor. What you are going to do next is indeed not suitable for the Dragon Emperor's shadow... Although the Dragon Emperor is said to be the guardian of the country, in recent years, it is indeed more inclined to the imperial court to check and balance the ancient times.
Martial Arts World! They all have a bit of fear towards the Dragon Emperor, the sects, families and various forces in the ancient martial arts world."
Mr. Long looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"No. 1 originally planned to ask the authorities and the Dragon King's power to help you, but I rejected it... In the short term, they can be suppressed, but the more powerful the suppression, the stronger the outbreak may be one day.
"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart moved. Mr. Long was indeed involved in this matter, and... awesome, he could deny No. 1's plan!
"If you are removed from the Dragon Emperor, you should do whatever you want... The Dragon Emperor will not give you any help, do you understand?"
Mr. Long said seriously.
"This is also the last test that the old fortune teller and I will give you. If you pass, then you can truly take on the big responsibility!"
"Take on a big responsibility?"
Xiao Chen was startled, and then his eyes lit up slightly.
"What big task?"
