Compared to the two, surely the identity of an alchemist held more weight.
After all, if the Long family were to lose a special envoy, they could simply send another one.
But where could they find another Rank 3 alchemist if one were to be lost?
Furthermore, the Long family had long issued a strict decree: any member of the Long family, upon encountering a respected alchemist of the Long family, must treat them with courtesy.
To do otherwise would be to betray the entire family!
"That's right, Elder Long. Long Hongyuan disregarded the law and attempted to forcibly marry our alchemist's fiancée."
"Tell me, should he be punished?"
As she spoke, Long Yuling stared directly at Elder Long and questioned him again.
After Long Yuling's words, Elder Long's expression shifted multiple times, and he instinctively looked at Long Hongyuan beside him.
Then, he glanced at Lin Chen, who stood calmly by. He instantly understood everything.
Although he hadn't accompanied these two on this trip, he had a general understanding of the Long family's strength.
The Long family headquarters had dispatched Long Hongyuan to Zhejiang province precisely to witness the new Rank 3 alchemist the Long family had recruited!
A Rank 3 alchemist in his twenties must have a powerful mentor behind him!
And how high would the alchemy skills of someone who could cultivate such an alchemist be?
Even if Lin Chen had no background or influence, his future growth as a Rank 3 alchemist was already astonishing.
A Rank 3 alchemist in his twenties, with proper development, would undoubtedly achieve at least Rank 5 in the future!
"Seventh Young Master, what exactly happened?"
After hearing Long Yuling's words, Elder Long immediately turned his head to look at Long Hongyuan.
He knew that Long Yuling, as the former heir of the Zhejiang Long family, would absolutely not dare to lie to him.
Since they dared to attack Long Hongyuan, then Long Hongyuan must have done something extremely excessive.
Otherwise, even if they had the courage of a leopard, they wouldn't have dared to beat a special envoy of the Long family like this!
"Elder Long, without asking for any details, he immediately attempted to forcibly marry Qiu Hanying, President Qiu."
"However, President Qiu is Lin Chen's fiancée."
"I believe Elder Long, you must know the name Lin Chen, right?"
At this moment, Long Yuling spoke with a cold smile, explaining to Elder Long.
Although Lin Chen was currently only a respected member of the Zhejiang Long family, his information had already been submitted to headquarters.
A Rank 3 alchemist, combined with the strength to single-handedly kill a powerful expert at the Half-step Nascent Soul stage.
Such a talent would be highly valued by any force.
Moreover, the Long family's influence had declined significantly, and they were precisely in need of experts like Lin Chen to join them!
Lin Chen had gained fame after the Southwest Grand Competition, and he was now a hot topic even in the capital.
"Yes, I have naturally heard of him."
"Could it be, this is Mr. Lin Chen?"
Indeed, after hearing Long Yuling's explanation, Elder Long's expression completely changed. He immediately turned to look at Lin Chen beside him and asked proactively.
He was very aware that news had been spreading throughout the entire Southwest recently.
Lin Chen, with his late Core Formation cultivation, had actually managed to kill Wu Quangui, who was at the Half-step Nascent Soul stage!
This truly surprised him.
As an expert at the Half-step Nascent Soul stage, he naturally knew the immense gap between Half-step Nascent Soul and Core Formation.
It was an insurmountable chasm!
In thousands of years, no one else had been able to achieve this!
Yet, Lin Chen had done it.
This made him feel astonished.
And most importantly, he had been inquiring about Lin Chen in Zhejiang province these past few days and had vaguely obtained some information.
It was rumored that Lin Chen had a very mysterious master behind him.
It was said that this master was currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Furthermore, since his master was also an alchemist, he was even more hesitant to offend both master and disciple!
If they were to lose such a powerful individual from the Long family because of a playboy like Long Hongyuan, it would undoubtedly be a great loss for the Long family!
"What? Long Yuling, Qiu Hanying is Lin Chen's fiancée?"
"How is that possible?"
However, upon hearing Long Yuling's words, Long Hongyuan's eyes widened involuntarily, his expression one of disbelief.
"What? Seventh Young Master, didn't you investigate her identity when you tried to take my sister?"
Long Yuling let out a cold snort, her expression filled with disdain.
She truly had no good feelings towards someone who only relied on their family's power to act arrogantly.
"Elder Long! I didn't know, I really didn't know Qiu Hanying was Lin Chen's fiancée!"
Seeing Long Yuling's demeanor, Long Hongyuan quickly turned to Elder Long.
He knew that he had definitely been set up by Long Yuling today.
He had been in Zhejiang for so many days, and Long Yuling must have known about his intention to take Qiu Hanying away.
If Long Yuling had told him about Qiu Hanying's relationship with Lin Chen, he would never have dared to lay a hand on Qiu Hanying, even with a hundred more lives!
Yet, in all these days, he had met Long Yuling several times.
She had never mentioned any information about Qiu Hanying.
This could only mean that Qiu Hanying and Long Yuling had deliberately concealed it from him!
"Entrapment, this is definitely entrapment!"
"Elder Long, you must do justice for me!"
"Regardless, I am currently a special envoy from the Long family headquarters in the capital. You can't just stand by and do nothing, can you?"
Long Hongyuan looked at Elder Long and pleaded.
He knew very well that Long Yuling had set such a large trap for him.
If she were to directly kill him, even if his father personally investigated the matter later, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Long Yuling.
Now, the only one who could save his life was likely Elder Long standing before him!
"Seventh Young Master, are you sure you didn't know before that this Qiu Hanying was Elder Lin's fiancée?"
Seeing a pampered young master like Long Hongyuan personally begging him for help, Elder Long let out a soft sigh and asked proactively.
As the saying goes, experience makes perfect. How could he not know that Long Hongyuan had been set up by Long Yuling?
It seemed this girl harbored a grudge and was avenging her father.
After all, as soon as Long Hongyuan arrived in Zhejiang, he had, without asking any questions, removed Long Yixian from his position as the Long family patriarch!
