"..." Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun opened his mouth, but was at a loss for words.
"You just focus on recovering, I'm heading out!" After saying this, Xiao Tianyu left the bedroom. As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Long Ling'Er and Lu Die'Er, making him pause: "Weren't you two going out to play?"
"We've already had our fun!" Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes flickered. In reality, they hadn't gone to play at all. With the Long Family in turmoil, how could Ling'Er have the mood to play? She asked, "What did my dad say to you?"
"Your dad said that after he kicks the bucket, I should take good care of you!" Xiao Tianyu showed a look as if he was telling the truth.
"You... you're cursing my dad, you bastard!"
"I didn't, though! That's what he himself said!"
"I don't believe it!" Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes glared at Xiao Tianyu, clearly thinking that this guy was cursing her dad. Her dad was about to be cured, how could he die?
"Believe it or not!" Xiao Tianyu shrugged.
"I'm going to ask my dad!" Long Ling'Er gave a girlish shout and rushed into the room, while Lu Die'Er approached Xiao Tianyu to ask, "Are you sure her dad said that?"
"Do I look like someone who would lie?"
"You do!"
"Alright then!" Xiao Tianyu nodded and started to walk away.
Click, click, click~
At this moment, Long Ling'Er gracefully stepped out of the bedroom, grabbed Xiao Tianyu's collar, and said, "You're coming in with me too!"
"Why?"
"Confrontation!"
Before Xiao Tianyu could nod, Long Ling'Er pulled him into the bedroom, leaving him with a blank expression: "Hey, hey~ my clothes aren't sturdy, be gentle, they'll tear if you pull harder, hey, hey~ the more I talk, the harder you pull, and seriously, your dad really did say that, I swear, I'm not lying..."
"I don't care!" Long Ling'Er tugged at Xiao Tianyu's collar as they quickly entered the bedroom. Lying on the bed, Long Xiaoyun looked at Long Ling'Er with a smile and said, "Ling'Er, you're back!"
"Dad!" Long Ling'Er called out.
"What is it?"
"Did you say that after you kick the bucket... uh, I mean, did you say that you want to leave me in this jerk's care?" Long Ling'Er cut straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun was dumbfounded. Did this guy really tell Ling'Er everything I said? Really despicable. Besides, if I wanted Ling'Er to know, why would I send her out?
Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyu spread his hands, showing a look of It's not my business; your daughter asked. I'm an honest guy who doesn't like to lie.
But Long Ling'Er seemed impatient and demanded, "Dad, say something!"
"I... I say what?"
"Say you won't kick the bucket!"
"I originally wasn't going to!"
"Then why did Brother Xiao say that after you kick the bucket, you'd leave me in his care?"
"That's all made up by your Brother Xiao, when did I ever say that, I didn't!" Long Xiaoyun acted dumb, wanting to ask Xiao Tianyu, what else did you tell Ling'Er?
You're screwing things up, aren't you?
"Brother Xiao, are you making this up?" Long Ling'Er was about to cry.
"No, everything I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, I have a recording here!"
Clang~
As soon as he said this, Long Xiaoyun almost fell off the bed. What the hell, this isn't just screwing someone over, it's screwing them big time. Mr. Xiao, old pal, what kind of vendetta do we have against each other that you even recorded it?
"Ah..." At this moment, Xiao Tianyu exclaimed, looking at Lu Die'Er, "Hey, crazy woman, why are you pinching me?"
"Can't you watch what you say? Ling'Er is still a child!"
"I was speaking truths!"
"Can't you make up a white lie?" Lu Die'Er glanced at Xiao Tianyu, thinking, since when did this guy become so honest, and when asked to be honest, you're not, and now you're spilling all truths when you're not supposed to, are you out of your mind?
"A white lie?" Xiao Tianyu asked.
"Yes!"
"I can't!"
"You..."
However, Xiao Tianyu interrupted, "But I can ensure the safety of the Long Family... Hey, beautiful, why are you pinching me again?"
"If you don't quit bragging, will you die?"
"I'm serious!"
"You're a Saint Heaven Realm powerhouse?" Lu Die'Er rolled her eyes, "Even a Saint Heaven Realm powerhouse can't necessarily resolve the Long Family's issues!"
"Saint Heaven Realm powerhouse?" Xiao Tianyu said solemnly, "That's just an ant. I can squash it with a flick!"
"And I suppose you're also telling me you're a big Immortal, right?" Lu Die'Er glared at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes, and Xiao Tianyu showed a look of mock terror, "You can even tell that?"
"I also know you're the Dean of Emperor Star Academy!"
"Yes!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.
"I also know Celestial Universe International is owned by your family!"
"You know that too?" Xiao Tianyu was dumbfounded, thinking, is this woman the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang? How does she know everything?
"Alright, you win!"
At this moment, Lu Die'Er was speechless. How could a man brag to this extent? Aren't you afraid that the cows in the sky might fall and crush you? And if you're this powerful, why haven't you gone to the heavens? Why don't you just say you're sworn brothers with the Celestial Emperor?
Looks like Ling'Er's words were spot on, this guy can do nothing but brag, but if you're going to brag, at least keep it believable, okay?
On the other side.
Long Xiaoyun was also dumbfounded: "Daughter, I promise I won't kick the bucket, okay!"
"Really?" Long Ling'Er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Really!"
"Pinky swear!"
"Okay!" Long Xiaoyun wore a look of helplessness, then glanced at Xiao Tianyu. He wanted to say, Mr. Xiao, I've really been screwed over by you. Could you really spout nonsense about something like this?
...
Six o'clock in the afternoon, at Celestial Universe International Hotel.
Currently, Celestial Universe International Hotel was heavily guarded, with over a hundred guards at the entrance, each oozing a powerful aura, clearly Earth Level Realm experts.
This was the biggest display of security in the history of Celestial Universe International Hotel in the Imperial Capital, and many passersby stopped to gaze at the hotel in confusion.
"Has something happened at Celestial Universe International Hotel?"
"Who would dare cause trouble at Celestial Universe International Hotel?"
"It doesn't look like trouble, it feels more like a birthday party!"
"Don't joke, who could have such a big display for a birthday party, mobilizing the entire Celestial Universe International Hotel?"
"..."
Those passersby couldn't help but speculate; several hundred Earth Level Realm bodyguards combining forces could form a strong regiment. Some even wondered if it could be the owner's birthday of Celestial Universe.
No matter whose birthday it was, for Celestial Universe to stage such a grand reception, it definitely involved someone extraordinary, with a background that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend.
Kidding aside, Celestial Universe International is the largest financial group in the Imperial Capital, with formidable resources. For someone to compel them to marshal such manpower and resources, just for a birthday, the individual's identity must be anything but ordinary.
