Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Walking out of Chen Xiaojun's quiet courtyard, Chen Cong looked at Chen Yu leisurely, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of amusement in his voice: "You just talked endlessly, and asked Xiaojun to make a decision. You are not really going to take a risk, are you?"

"Xiaoyi is indeed the best candidate, but she is in a coma and cannot absorb it on her own. The risks are unpredictable."

"Compared to the risk-free Wangchuan Qiushuilu, if something really goes wrong with Yin Yang Liangshenghua, a genius on par with Xiaojun, if something happens to her, how can we explain to Guan Qingteng's family?"

"What's more, there is a god behind us whose whereabouts are uncertain and whose attitude is hard to understand."

Chen Yu rolled his eyes slightly, seeming to be somewhat disdainful of Chen Cong's worries, "How could I be so careless? When the time comes, we can do this and that..."

He leaned close to Chen Cong, whispered softly, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

After hearing this, Chen Cong suddenly realized something. He immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "You are indeed cunning and smart! I admire you!"

Chen Yu was unmoved. He glanced at Chen Cong and said calmly, "Put away your face, it's too fake."

Chen Cong smiled faintly, and the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became heavy and a little subtle.

Chen Cong then asked, "Xiaojun's Yuchang Sword has been unsealed and evolved, and his spirit ring has also broken through the ten thousand year mark. What are your plans next?"

Chen Yu frowned slightly and said, "This is indeed a tricky question. How strong is Xiao Jun now?"

Chen Cong pondered for a moment and said, "His normal combat power is already at the level of a Soul Sect. If he uses his ultimate move, he can rival the combat power of a Soul King, and can even fight a few moves head-on with a Soul Emperor."

He didn't continue talking, and didn't mention fighting desperately, because that was meaningless.

Chen Yu took over the conversation: "This strength may be considered good in the academy, but if he wants to walk in the world of soul masters, he is indeed a little lacking. Let him grow under our noses for the time being, and we will see in two years."

Chen Cong nodded and complained, "What about the Fighting Spirit Academy? Old guy Xue Tianming comes to the village every year. His little thoughts are written all over his face."

Chen Yu sighed and said, "I am also worried about this."

"There are many people in Douhun City, and it's a mixed bag. Xiaojun has awakened his ten thousand year spirit ring again, so I am a little worried."

"Besides, we are thousands of miles away from Douhun City and out of reach. Even if Xiyuan is there, it will be difficult to take care of it."

Chen Cong also frowned: "Yes, with Xiao Jun's current strength, it will be difficult for him to protect himself in a place like Douhun City. He is still young and has not experienced the dangers of the soul master world. Moreover, if another assassin appears, I am afraid..."

The two looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Chen Yu sighed softly, "However, in a few years, Xiao Jun will be stronger and we will have more manpower. Let nature take its course."

Then a hint of coldness flashed across Chen Yu's eyes: "As for those assassins..., Bu Ren Lou, they actually dared to attack our direct lineage, hehe!"

Chen Cong looked at him and said calmly, "What are you going to do? They've already run away."

Chen Yu glanced at him and smiled, "If you can escape from the priest, can you also escape from the temple?"

........................

Two days later, on the tenth day of July, the warm sun shone obliquely, with dappled light and shadows.

Cheng Yun and Xia Ying walked briskly to the hall of Chen Mansion and reported the results of the investigation into the assassination to Chen Yu and Chen Cong.

Chen Xiaojun sat quietly aside and listened to the report.

Cheng Yun looked solemn. She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Master Yu, Master Cong, after three days of investigation and analysis, we have basically locked down the mastermind behind the murder."

Chen Cong raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He swept his sharp eyes across Cheng Yun's face and asked in a deep voice, "Is it the Tianlang Sect?"

"That's right." Cheng Yun nodded, secretly sighing that Master Cong is Master Cong, with an extremely high IQ.

Chen Cong raised his lips in a cold smile, "Very good."

Chen Yu was more concerned about the cause and effect of the incident. He asked, "Why them? Why?!"

Cheng Yun smoothed her hair and explained, "We used the method of elimination in this analysis."

"First of all, this assassination attempt was obviously aimed at the young master personally. If there was hostility towards our Chen family, the target would not be limited to Young Master Xiaojun alone, while the other young masters and young ladies would be safe and sound."

She paused, looked around, and seeing that everyone was listening attentively, she continued, "Secondly, the young master is young, and the buyers who have such a deep hatred for him that they would hire a large number of high-end killers are actually very narrow."

She went on to analyze, "Since the young master was born, he has only made three truly eye-catching moves: the small beast tide in Hanhai City, Ji Liu's engagement party, and this time's wheel race at Chang'an College."

"However, the incident at Chang'an College can be ruled out because there was not enough time to arrange an assassination plan."

Cheng Yun moved as she spoke, her gestures rising and falling with her words, "The next thing to eliminate is the Scarlet Church."

"Although the young master played a certain role in the two major events of the Scarlet Church, it was far less than the decisive influence of Master Cong."

"If it was really the Scarlet Church that took action, their primary target should be Master Cong, not the Young Master; or they could use the Young Master as bait to mobilize Master Cong and attack together."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if their target is only the Young Master, given their style of doing things, they will definitely send out Titled Douluo-level masters to intercept Master Cong."

"But the fact is that Master Cong did not encounter any interception on his way to help the young master."

Finally, she paused and whispered, "Besides, given the style of the Scarlet Church, they would not choose to hire the Unkind Building to cover up their tracks."

"Besides, the whole city is looking for them now, so they have stopped their efforts. If they want to take action, they will have plenty of opportunities in the future, so they won't be in a hurry."

Her words were logical and clear, worthy of being the person in charge of intelligence. Everyone nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Chen Yu nodded with a deep look in his eyes, "Continue."

Cheng Yun's brows relaxed, and he continued to analyze thoughtfully: "So, since it wasn't a pre-emptive siege, the only reasonable explanation left is revenge."

Chen Xiaojun was stunned. He didn't expect this reason. "Revenge?"

He was a little worried in his heart. He had no enemies except the Scarlet Church, and the Swordfish Tribe was even less likely to be his enemy as they had all been recruited.

Cheng Yun continued, "Master, do you remember the day we swept up the Ghost Wolf Gang, the Red Sand Gang, and the Wandering Dragon Gang?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded, and then paused involuntarily, as if he was recalling the scene of that day.

Cheng Yun continued to explain, "A few days ago, the young master led the people in the mansion to sweep across the southwest gangs in Chang'an City to expand the medicinal materials market. Ah Ying and I were there at the time."

"It is possible that some of the destroyed gangs or the forces behind them harbored resentment, which led to this series of revenge."
