Chapter 2142: Winning Zhao Hai Over

The Long Clans birthday banquet still went on. But now, people cant sit still, especially Lu Fang. He never thought that Chen Feng would be lucky enough to find the seal and dine in the main hall. This meant that Chen Feng was about to soar!

However, Chen Feng wasnt in the mood to deal with Lu Fang right now. Now that he was sitting in the main hall, it was destined that his status would soar far above Lu Fangs. What kind of people could eat in the main hall? All of them were the core disciples and influential members of the clan. With Chen Feng sitting alongside these people, his future development certainly wouldnt be small.

There were plenty of people who didnt know what to eat at the birthday banquet, this included Chen Feng. He was very happy. He could see how much the Clan Head valued the seal. The Clan Heads reaction was better than what Chen Feng imagined. His status in the Long Clan definitely wouldnt be low in the future.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai was very calm. From the moment Long Tian got in touch with him, he knew that he would be able to join the Long Clan. Even if there was no birthday banquet, he could still join. Long Tian would make sure that it happened.

The birthday banquet didnt last long. After eating, Chen Feng and Zhao Hai wanted to leave, but they were stopped. Long Zhan arranged a place for them to live in the mansion. This arrangement caused the eyes of other people to turn red in envy. Staying in the mansion meant that the two of them held value to the clan.

Zhao Hai and Chen Feng were arranged to live in a small courtyard. The courtyard was relatively decorated. It could house about 20 people. It was specially used by the Long Clan to entertain important guests. Now, the courtyard was given to Zhao Hai and Chen Feng.

After doing a simple cleanup of the courtyard, the two sat by the stone table. Chen Feng took a sip of his tea and let out a sigh. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, Little Hai, I really want to thank you. If it werent for you, I wouldnt be where I am today. From what I can see, my status in the Long Clan wouldnt be low in the future. This doesnt only apply to me, my Chen Clan would also benefit.

Chen Feng wasnt a young person. He was 50 years old. Although people in the True Spirit Realm could live up to 200 to 300 years even if they didnt cultivate, people still married at the age of 20 to 30. By the time they reach the age of 200, they would have formed a small clan.

In Fact, Chen Feng was born in such a clan. However, n.o.body in the clan had cultivation talent. Their clan can only be regarded as ordinary. A clan like Chen Fengs could be seen everywhere in the True Spirit Realm. Stunning characters might appear in such a clan, but generations would pa.s.s before such a person appears.

Ever since Chen Feng joined the Long Clan, his clan benefited a lot. If Chen Fengs status improves, then his clan would also get benefits. Now that Chen Feng was about to ascend in status, who knows what heights the Chen Clan could reach.

In the True Spirit Realm, everyone attached great importance to their clans. Chen Feng was the same. Because of this, he was very grateful to Zhao Hai for finding the seal.

Hearing Chen Feng, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, Theres no need to be too polite. I also did it for myself. Shopkeeper Chen, you shouldnt forget your promise. You have to help the Blackwood Group. Even if I join the Long Clan, I wont be a Shopkeeper Like You. The Blackwood Group would have to depend on you.

Chen Feng nodded, Rest a.s.sured, I wont forget the Blackwood Group. After all, without the Blackwood Group, I wouldnt have met you. Then it would be impossible for me to get my hands on the seal.

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, You dont have to think about this matter all the time. Well have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future if I join the Long Clan.

Chen Feng nodded. Then at this time, footsteps could be heard outside the door. Then a voice was heard, The Clan Head wants to see Chen Feng. Chen Feng immediately stood up and complied.

As soon as Chen Feng left, the door of the courtyard was pushed open from the outside. Zhao Hai turned his head and saw Long Tian outside. Zhao Hai couldnt help but stare, Old Master, why did you come here?

Long Tian laughed and said, Why wouldnt I come here? This is the Long Clan; I can go wherever I want. Kid, youre really good. I didnt expect that you would be the one who would find the seal. I already mentioned your name to my Eldest Brother so you can join the Long Clan. However, its not easy to get my Eldest Brothers attention. After all, youre still quite weak.

Additionally, youre a member of the Tyrant Blade Sect. Although the relations.h.i.+p between the Tyrant Blade Sect and the Long Clan is average, its not enough to move my Eldest Brother. But now, you have done him a great favor. Getting the seal back is one of his wishes. Now that Eldest Brother owes you a favor, your status in the Long Clan definitely wouldnt be low. Its also good for me since I like your temperament. Hahaha. Dont worry, Ill cover your back once you join the Long Clan.

Hearing Long Tian, Zhao Hai couldnt help but stare. Then he looked at Long Tian and said, Old Master, did you call the Clan Head Eldest Brother? Then what does that make you?

Long Tian laughed, My father and Eldest Brothers father are blood brothers. I was born right after him. Because of this, other people call me Second Grandfather. Moreover, in the entire Long Clan, my relations.h.i.+p with Eldest Brother is the best.

As Long Tian was talking, a voice was heard from outside, The Clan Head wants to see Zhao Hai.

Long Tian laughed, Go and tell Eldest Brother that this kid is drinking with me. Ill take him to see Eldest Brother tomorrow.

The person outside was stunned for a moment. But when he recognized the voice, he immediately said, Yes, Second Grandfather. Second Grandfather, do you want wine and food to be delivered to you?

Lon Tian smiled and said, Good kid. Youre really from the clan. Go and bring them here. The man outside complied and then left.

This small exchange showed Zhao Hai what kind of status Long Tian held in the Long Clan. This old man dared to decline the Clan Heads words. This was a man who could walk sideways in the Long Clan.

Actually, what Zhao Hai didnt know was that Long Tians status in the Long Clan was very special. He was a close brother to Long Zhan and was also Long Zhans biggest supporter. Most importantly, Long Tian wasnt blinded by status and power. He held almost no control over the true power of the clan. He was like a shadow following behind Long Zhan. He was the Clan Heads most trusted person.

This didnt mean that Long Tian didnt hold any responsibilities in the clan. One of the responsibilities he held was education. No mistake, Long Tians job was to educate the younger generations of the clan. It can be said that most of the outstanding talents of the clan were taught by Long Tian. And these talents held the greatest respect towards Long Tian. This gave Long Tian a huge but invisible power over the Long Clan. Fortunately, Long Tian never used this power. He continued to educate the children of the clan. It was also a job that he enjoyed doing.

Because of Long Tians actions, his position in the Long Clan was far from normal. Whenever Long Zhan mentions his Younger Brother, he couldnt help but smile bitterly. Long Tian had every opportunity to obtain more power, but he didnt do it. He continued to teach children every day. Then he would drink wine and eat good food. He lived a carefree life. Even Long Zhan was envious of his life.

Long Zhan was currently in his study. When he heard the person he tasked to call Zhao Hai over say that Long Tian was drinking with Zhao Hai, Long Zhan couldnt help but smile bitterly. He waved his hand and said, Alright, leave them alone. Its rare for a person to catch that guys eyes.

At this time, Long Tian was already drinking wine with Zhao Hai. When Chen Feng returned to the courtyard and saw this, he immediately turned around and left.

It hasnt been long since Chen Feng entered the Long Clan, so he has limited understanding regarding the core members of the clan. Naturally, he was completely unaware of the status of the mysterious Second Grandfather. But appearing in the mansion was already enough to show his status. Being a shopkeeper, Chen Feng was good at reading the air. Long Tian didnt care about him, so he would only annoy the old man if he stayed.

Fortunately, Chen Feng didnt see Long Tian rejecting Long Zhans summons. Otherwise, Chen Feng would have gone crazy. It was known that Long Zhan held absolute power in the Long Clan. n.o.body dared to challenge his authority. In the same way, n.o.body would ignore his words. If Chen Feng saw Long Tian nonchalantly brus.h.i.+ng the Clan Heads words, Chen Feng would have turned white in fear.

When Long Tian saw that Chen Feng left, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, Kid, have you thought about what position you want after joining the Long Clan?

Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled bitterly and said, I really havent thought about it. I hope you dont laugh, but I think I can handle any position you arrange for me.

Hearing Zhao Hai, Long Tian couldnt help but stare. Then his expression changed, his tone turned serious as he said, Kid, you talk big. Are you sure about what you said?

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, I know a lot of things. So far, I havent encountered something that I cant do.

Hearing this, Long Tian was stunned. Although he hadnt been in contact with Zhao Hai for a long time, he knew that Zhao Hai wasnt an irresponsible person. He carried his words with his pride. This was also the reason why Long Tian was confused. Zhao Hai was an ascendant. Moreover, from his appearance, he was quite young. How could he possibly know a lot of things?

Long Tian couldnt help but look at Zhao Hai and said, Do you know how to concoct medicine?

Zhao Hai nodded, I know. But because of my current strength, I cant make high level medicine.

Long Tian nodded, How about refining weapons?

Zhao Hai nodded, I know. But like with pills, I cant make high level artifacts with my strength.

Long Tian smiled bitterly. He was somewhat convinced of Zhao Hais words. But because of Zhao Hais strength, there were a lot of things he couldnt do.

Long Tian thought for a moment before he said, Alright, you can still focus on the Tyrant Blade Sect. After all, you cant ignore your sect. In the Long Clan, you can be a teacher and teach the children. At the same time, I can ask the Clan Head to permit you to browse the clans martial arts records. Naturally, you have to teach the children what you learned. If you cant teach well, then Ill take your privileges back.

Zhao Hai stared. He didnt expect Long Tian to make such a decision. He could actually study the martial arts records of the Long Clan. Ordinary clans treat their manuals with strict security. This even included their basic manuals. Basic manuals showed a small hint of a clans strength. Long Tians action was very unexpected. Zhao Hai having access to the clans martial arts records was equal to knowing the Long Clans foundation. If Zhao Hai leaked its contents, it would be a disaster for the clan. Zhao Hai doesnt understand why Long Tian trusted him too much.

Zhao Hai had these thoughts because he doesnt know much about the Long Clan. If he knew, he wouldnt have thought of such things. The Long Clans strength wasnt as simple as what it showed on the surface. Otherwise, the Yin Yang Elders wouldnt have immediately agreed to Zhao Hai joining the clan. Although Zhao Hai was a now crucial disciple of the sect, the Yin Yang Elders knew that Zhao Hai joining the Long Clan wouldnt have a bad effect on the Tyrant Blade Sect. In fact, it might even benefit the sect.

With the strength of the Long Clan, anyone who got their manuals through illegal methods would be struck down. Otherwise, the Long Clan wouldnt have existed for so many years.

Long Tian dared to let Zhao Hai study the manuals of the clan because he didnt see Zhao Hai as a threat. If Zhao Hai leaked the manuals of the Long Clan, the clan has the means to clean him up. Naturally, Long Tian believed that Zhao Hai wouldnt do this. Even if Zhao Hai wanted to do it, the Yin Yang Elders would stop him immediately. Because of this, Long Tian was able to make this decision.

More importantly, Long Tian could see that Zhao Hai was a genius. Such a special talent needed special methods to recruit. Long Tian also used this privilege because he knew that Zhao Hai was the disciple of the Yin Yang Elders. It was impossible to move Zhao Hais heart using ordinary things. It was also difficult for Zhao Hai to refuse this privilege. There was no such thing as a cultivator who didnt want to improve their martial arts. Long Tian was also aware that the Long Clans martial arts was much stronger than the Tyrant Blade Sects.
