Chen Ping wanted to destroy the Long Family and rescue his own mother, but it was likely a long and difficult journey ahead.
What's more, the Long family has a powerful presence and intricate network of connections in Kyoto. Even within the martial arts alliance, the Long family holds considerable influence. Therefore, if Chen Ping were to confront the Long family, he would essentially be going against the entire Kyoto martial arts world.
Five protectors left, and only Long Jingguo remained in the hall with several elders of the Long family. Long Xingxu didn't even dare to look up in front of these people; he had no right to!
"Master, if there is nothing else, I will go and prepare. "
”
Long Xingxu was thinking of leaving. It was too oppressive here.
"Don't leave yet!" Long Jingguo stopped Long Xingxu and continued, "Long Xingxu, what level of strength have you reached now?"
"Master, I've reached the strength of a third-rank martial artist. With more time to cultivate, after the trials end, I'm confident I can break through to the fourth rank."
”
Long Xingxu said with great confidence.
"Fourth-rank Martial Sovereign, that's pretty impressive. Not many your age can achieve this level of strength."
”
Long Jingguo praised Long Xingxu.
"Thank you for the praise, Master!" Long Xingxu beamed with pride.
It is known that Long Jingguo rarely praises people, and he even refrains from praising his own son, Long Xiao.
"Don't thank me yet. With your current abilities, could you capture Chen Ping alive if you met him?"
Long Jingguo asked a very pointed question.
Long Xingxu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Patriarch, I can't do it. Since Chen Ping could kill Watanabe Ichiro, his strength should be higher than mine."
”
Long Xingxu is very sincere and won't hide anything. His strength is indeed inferior to Chen Ping's.
"My biggest worry right now is that with your current strength, you'll suffer greatly during the trials and end up with nothing. You might even lose your life."

”
Long Jingguo said with worry etched on his face.
Long Xingxu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He knew that his chance to shine might be slipping away.
"Master, for the sake of the Dragon Clan, I am willing to give everything, even my life."
”
Long Xingxu began to swear to the heavens.
"Long Xingxu, you don't need to be so excited. I will arrange for you to participate in this trial. However, I have already asked Xiaoshouer to come back. The two of you will form a team to participate in the trial."
”
Looking at Long Xingxu like that, Long Jingguo comforted him.
Long Xingxu was taken aback, but he had no right to refuse. In the Long family, he was just a collateral branch. Although some servants called him Young Master Long, in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Long family, he was nothing.
However, Long Xingxu also secretly let out a sigh of relief. Although the protagonist of the trial had become Long Xiao, he could still follow as an attendant. What Long Xingxu needed now was an opportunity.
"Everything obeys the master's arrangements..."
Long Xingxu said respectfully, with not a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Well, go ahead and prepare well!"
Long Jingguo waved his hand.
Long Xingxu retreated, but at the moment he left, the servile expression on Long Xingxu's face disappeared, replaced by a cold and ruthless look. A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.
Long Xingxu, as the most talented among the younger generation, cultivated to the martial arts master realm with limited resources. He has been working hard all along, hoping that one day, he can make their lineage the masters of the Long family and no longer be looked down upon.
Now, he is even worse off than a servant. He lives in fear, carefully watching his every word so as not to offend Long Jingguo and be discarded.
How Long Jingguo came to be the head of his household, Long Xingxu knew very well. He knew that as long as he endured, that day would eventually come.
