Chapter 1133: Chapter 1132: Long Family’s Senior Management Chapter 1133: Chapter 1132: Long Family’s Senior Management “I lost,” Long Zhiming’s voice resounded, carrying a hint of bitterness, and some relief.

The Kylin battle attire restrained, Fang Lin’s slightly pale face appeared, showing no joy in victory.

“Mr. Long has been generous,” Fang Lin said with a bow, showing great respect to the other party.

Long Zhiming shook his head, “Since we parted at the Wuji Battle Temple, Lord Fang has changed beyond recognition; I need to work even harder.”

Most of the Long family present wore expressions of regret and loss; Long Zhiming’s defeat to Fang Lin was a blow to them.

Even for Mr. Long Jiu and a few other Long family powerhouses, regret was evident on their faces.

After all, Long Zhiming was the most talented in Martial Arts among the younger generation of the Long family, always receiving great emphasis and cultivation from the family. Yet now, he had lost to Fang Lin in Martial Arts, which was somewhat difficult to accept.

But Mr. Long Jiu and the others were slightly better off because they knew that Fang Lin was no weakling, possessing the strength to defeat one of the Pill Alliance’s Nine Guards; it was already extremely difficult for Long Zhiming to defeat Fang Lin, and even in defeat, there was no disgrace.

Still, it was their family’s talent who had lost, and it was inevitably a bit hard to bear.

As for Fang Lin himself, although he had defeated Long Zhiming, it was by a narrow margin; Long Zhiming’s strength was formidable, and had it not been for the Sacred Qi absorbed and the power of the Sacred Tree within him, the outcome of this battle might not have been so clear.

Of course, this was just a friendly match, not a battle to the death; if it were a battle to the death, defeating Long Zhiming would have been an entirely different level of difficulty for Fang Lin.

“A splendid match, Lord Fang truly is an unparalleled Talent in Alchemy and Martial Arts in our Pill Alliance,” Mr. Long Jiu spoke.

Fang Lin clasped his hands: “The Talent of the Long family is indeed as renowned, earning my profound admiration.”

Although Fang Lin won against Long Zhiming, this demeanor also made the Long family members rather fond of Fang Lin.

If Fang Lin had been smug and arrogant after defeating Long Zhiming, then the Long family members would have been displeased with him.

Long Zhixin stood not far away, watching Fang Lin, her eyes shimmering with unusual light.

She had been curious about Fang Lin for a long time, and today, whether it was in Alchemy Tao or Martial Arts, she could not fault him at all.

Within her family, some advocated for Fang Lin to marry into the family. At first, Long Zhixin was resistant; after all, she didn’t even know what Fang Lin was like, so how could she easily decide on a matter of a lifetime?

But today, Long Zhixin was quite satisfied with Fang Lin, even somewhat looking forward to the prospect of becoming a couple with him; it would indeed be a beautiful story.

As she thought about these things, a blush involuntarily colored Long Zhixin’s face, making her unable to look directly at Fang Lin.

Of course, the matter of marrying into the family had not yet been brought up to Fang Lin by the Long family, so they were completely unaware of his stance.

But in Long Zhixin’s opinion, given her conditions, Fang Lin would probably agree to this marriage if he were wise.

After the match, the sky had already darkened considerably; Mr. Long Jiu arranged a separate mansion for Fang Lin to stay and rest in, while the two elders from the North Town Hall each had a room to themselves.

Under Long Zhixin’s guidance, Fang Lin arrived inside the mansion.

“The Long family is really too polite; this mansion is too big for one person,” Fang Lin said with a laugh as he looked at the quite spacious mansion.

Long Zhixin did not stay long, indeed, considering they were alone together, and even if Fang Lin might marry into their Long family, it would not be appropriate to appear overly familiar at this time.

That night, many high-ranking members of the Long family gathered together to discuss matters regarding Fang Lin, which included the possibility of him marrying into the Long family.

“Fang Lin is skilled in both Alchemy and Martial Arts; this young man has a promising future, and this matter is worth considering,” Mr. Long Jiu said, then looked towards the other high-ranking members of the Long Family.

“I also think that the act of marrying into our family would bring many benefits to the Long Family.”

“Moreover, with Elder Tiankui supporting Fang Lin, once our families are joined through marriage, the position of the Long Family within the Pill Alliance will be as stable as Mount Tai.”

“But by doing this, we fear we might end up standing against Elder Tiangang.”

“Heh, so what about Elder Tiangang? Our Long Family’s strength has never been one to cower before any Elder. Besides, Elder Tiankui’s influence now surpasses that of Elder Tiangang; naturally, we should choose the stronger side.”

“Even if we don’t consider Elder Tiankui’s influence, Fang Lin’s own value is enough reason for our Long Family to draw him in.”

“Zhixin, that girl, seems quite pleased with Fang Lin as well.”

“That’s good, my biggest concern was that Zhixin might resist this matter, but it seems Fang Lin’s performance has satisfied her.”

…

Many of the Long Family’s top brass spoke up, most of them strongly in favor of bringing Fang Lin into the Long Family through marriage, even though a few expressed concerns, they did not attract much attention.

“Tomorrow, I will subtly probe to see if he is interested in marrying into the Long Family. If he is, then it will be even easier to handle,” Mr. Long Jiu said, tentatively settling the matter.

“Old Nine, there’s another issue that needs to be discussed with everyone,” said an old man sitting next to Mr. Long Jiu.

This was Mr. Long Jiu’s own brother, among the older generation in the Long Family, he was ranked eighth, thus he was Mr. Long Jiu’s elder brother.

Compared to Mr. Long Jiu, Mr. Long Ba looked not as aged, his spirit was vibrant, exuding an air of authority.

Mr. Long Jiu nodded, glanced over the many high-level officials of the Long Family present, and said in a deep voice, “The Sealed Demon Land is about to face a major issue.”

As soon as the words “Sealed Demon Land” were uttered, the expressions of the Long Family’s top officials drastically changed.

“What? How could that be?”

“The Formation of the Sealed Demon Land is supposed to be unbreakable!”

“Where did this information come from? Could someone be spreading rumors deliberately?”

…

The many high-ranking officials of the Long Family spoke up, their emotions visibly agitated, even the most composed individuals were unable to maintain their calm.

“It is still too early to determine if the news is true or false, but the message came from Elder Tiankui, so the credibility should be decent,” Mr. Long Jiu said.

Hearing that the news came from Elder Tiankui, the top officials of the Long Family all fell silent, then showed faces filled with worry.

“That demon, back then, was jointly subdued and thrown into Fall Demon Cliff by our Long Family and other Alchemy Tao noble families; it has been a thousand years, that demon should be dead already!” one of the Long Family’s top officials said incredulously.

“Currently, only our Long Family knows of this situation; other Alchemy Tao noble families are not aware. Should we inform them?” someone suggested.

Mr. Long Jiu looked at his elder brother, who gave a slight nod.

“We have already sent people to investigate Fall Demon Cliff. If there really has been a change there, we must inform the other Alchemy Tao noble families,” Mr. Long Jiu said.
