Chapter 109: Prince Kang Defects
Old Man Lan looked at the old woman in red robe and then at Chen Xian, his eyes showing shock and loss.
Good boy, you have caught up with the woman that I haven’t even tried to catch up with yet.
Chen Xian gave Old Man Lan a look in return.
Damn, how old am I, how could I have any relationship with this old woman!
Chen Xian stammered.
"Wife" Old Man Lan heard this and wiped his face with one hand in grief. Seeing this, Chen Xian hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, did you recognize the wrong person?"
The old woman asked questions continuously.
"Is your name Dongri?"
"Um"
"Are you from a small mountain village outside the Nanyan Monster Forest?"
"Um"
"There was a fat guy and a little girl named Lilith who came to school with you."
Chen Xian's eyes turned cold. This man had investigated him and wanted to threaten him with Fatty and Lilith.
"What do you want to do by investigating me?"
The old woman snorted coldly, "Investigate you? I'm not interested. Just don't forget the people who risked their lives to save you in the Scarlet Flame Tiger Canyon."
Chen Xian was stunned.
Red Flame Tiger Canyon?
Liu Yan?
"What is your relationship with Teacher Liu Yan?" Chen Xian's expression softened a little.
The old woman turned her head away without saying anything.
Upon seeing this, Old Man Lan understood and hurriedly explained.
"My friend, this is Teacher Liu Yan's master, and also Lilith's great master."
Chen Xian was surprised. This old woman’s identity was not simple.
When I was in college, I heard about a legendary fire magician who had a weird personality and a bad temper, but was very powerful and was called the Legend of the Fire Rose, or simply the Fire Rose.
"It turns out to be Senior Fire Rose. I was rude just now."
"All men are bad." The old woman glanced at Chen Xian, then glared at the old man Lan next to her.
Just as he was about to leave after saying that, he suddenly saw a dozen guards coming towards him, holding crystal stones emitting various colors of light.
"This, this is a 7th-level fire magic crystal, a 7th-level water magic crystal..."
The old woman changed her previous cold and arrogant expression, and now read out the name of the crystal with a dull face.
Old Man Lan was not much better off. He looked at the three or four seventh-level water magic crystals among the guards, opened his mouth wide, and quietly put away his staff inlaid with a sixth-level advanced magic crystal.
Chen Xian's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly ran over to put the magic crystal into the ring, saying, "Senior, you must have seen it wrong. These are ordinary magic crystals. How can they be level 7?"
The old woman stretched out her hand, and a fire magic crystal that Chen Xian had not had time to put away was sucked into her hand.
"Do you think that the two of us legends are so old and dim that we can't recognize the seventh-level magic crystal?"
After Chen Xian took the magic crystal from the guard, he came over and reached out to take the last fire magic crystal from the old woman's hand.
The old woman dodged his hand directly, and Chen Xian looked at her in some surprise.
"Senior, you won't take my things, right? These are all kept for me by my master, the Saint of Light."
"Humph, don't use the Saint of Light to pressure me. This is for my disciple, so that she won't be cheated by others and suffer a big loss. If you want it, just go to her directly."
After saying this, the old woman turned into a red light and disappeared into the night sky.
"Your apprentice was cheated and used my things as compensation?" Chen Xian looked at Old Man Lan with a strange expression, "Vice Dean, the teachers in the academy stole the students' things. This is all I have. You have to take care of this matter!"
More than a dozen seventh-level magic crystals and three water magic crystals. I, an old man who has reached the level of legend, don’t even have seventh-level magic crystals. And you only have this little belongings. Do you know how to chat?
"This is your private matter. I have no right to interfere. Didn't Elder Yan just say that you can go find Teacher Liu Yan and ask for it yourself?"
Chen Xian stopped talking and looked straight at Old Man Lan.
The latter felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, "Why are you staring at me? I didn't take the things."
"I didn't say you took it, but your old mistress took my things, you are in the wrong, and you haven't left yet."
"I'm not leaving because the old dean told me to stay here for a while to ensure the safety of the manor."
"You're really not trying to make amends for your old mistress's behavior?"
"No"
"Oh, so it really is your old mistress. Old man, you have quite a strong taste."
"you……"
……
The next morning, everyone had breakfast.
Good and Fatty went to help clean up the damaged buildings in the manor.
Lan'er had consumed too much energy last night, so Chen Xian asked her to go back to her room and continue soaking in the wooden barrel to recover.
Long Qingqing and Ruisi went to the secret room to count the supplies.
"Sir, we have sorted out the damage to the manor last night." Bupas looked at the young man whom he admired so much. The other man was standing at the window and motioned for him to continue.
"The two explosions last night caused serious damage to the buildings, especially the last one, which was accompanied by the explosion of the magic crystal energy cannon. All the buildings in the front yard below collapsed, and the vegetation was burned and withered. One-third of the top of the castle collapsed, and more than half of the two side yards were also damaged. Only the backyard is still intact."
After hearing the report, Chen Xian felt heartbroken. Lan'er's hydrogen inferno bomb was too powerful, but the explosion did not distinguish between friend and foe. It would be better to set it off in local areas in the future.
"Okay, the pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers will be doubled as I said yesterday. I'll have the accountant contact you tomorrow."
Bupas left the castle with tears of gratitude.
Chen Xian spent the entire morning at the gate, chatting with the guards.
He was waiting. Such a big thing happened yesterday, and it happened near the capital. There would definitely be people from the official side coming, and Master Wen Dou would also come today.
By the way, if Wen Dou, the newly promoted Wind and Thunder Legend, was here last night, those assassins would have been easily dealt with.
What Chen Xian didn't expect was that the first person to arrive would be General Long Xinglong.
"Wasn't the old general ordered to supervise the iron ore smelting work? How come he has time to come to me?"
Long Xing led Chen Xian away from the guard post and walked in the front yard that looked like a ruin, his face solemn.
"Your Majesty asked me to come, and I thought he was making a fuss about nothing. I didn't expect that last night was so tragic. There may not be many people left in my 300-man brigade."
At this time, Bupas, who was directing the troops in the front yard, came over, saluted Long, and spoke loudly with some pride.
"General, we lost 76 people last night, and 106 men in black were killed, including 4 at level 70, 36 at level 6, and three at level who escaped after being hit by the magic crystal cannon."
"How is that possible? With 300 of you, most of whom are veterans of level 3 and 4, how can you fight against such a powerful force? Not to mention that you only lost one-third of your troops, even if your entire army was annihilated, you can't win."
When Bupas was questioned by Long Xing, he did not feel guilty at all and reported in detail the strangeness of Chen Xian's confusing formation last night, the help of the two magical beasts, Lan'er's super magic, and the final arrangement of the magic crystal cannon.
After listening to this, Long Xing couldn't help but look at Chen Xian deeply, and then gave instructions to Bupas.
"For the soldiers who were lost, pensions will be paid according to the national war standards."
"General, Lord Dongri has doubled the amount. We are counting the money and will distribute it tomorrow after checking with the accountant."
Long Xing was stunned and patted Chen Xian on the shoulder, "This is the second time I like you so much."
The second time? When was the first time? It seemed like the old general didn't like him.
Long Xing didn't know what Chen Xian was thinking and continued to give orders to Bupas.
"Go back and transfer another 300 people to help repair the manor. Make sure the safety of everyone in the manor is ensured."
Chen Xian watched Bupas leave and asked Long Xing in confusion, "Old General, after what happened yesterday, there shouldn't be any more danger, right?"
Long Xing looked around the damaged courtyard and sighed. "Prince Kang has defected."
