Hearing this, Leng Yu frowned. He could tell that although Master Long spoke modestly, he was very confident in his son. It seemed that he was determined to get this Young Master Long.

Long Yongcheng humbly said to Long Changyun:

"Dad, Cheng'er said long ago that participation in the martial arts conference depends on one's ability. Please don't mention my identity to others, lest someone think you are secretly providing me with convenience."

"Prince Yu is not an outsider. Cheng'er is worrying too much."

After saying this, Long Changyun turned to look at Leng Yu, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Prince Yu, am I right?"

"That's natural."

There was a hint of caution between Leng Yu's brows.

It seems that this martial arts conference is not as simple as he imagined, and it is not possible to win the position of martial arts leader just by relying on high martial arts skills.

After bidding farewell to Long Changyun and Long Yongcheng, Leng Yu took Luo Lan's hand and walked out of the village, whispering:

"Lan'er, do you think there's something else behind Manor Master Long's words? He informed me in advance that Long Yongcheng would be attending the martial arts conference. He was warning me in advance."

"It's possible. Long Changyun's status in the martial arts world cannot be underestimated. He opens his mouth and everyone gives him some face. Even more so, who dares to confront him head-on? So I also feel that this martial arts conference, while open and fair on the surface, must have some hidden secrets."

Leng Yu tightened his grip, held her hand tighter, and replied softly:

"That's fine. We're here to accomplish what we set out to do. As for having Xiao Lingzi and the others participate in the competition, let's just treat it as a bit of fun! By the way, I met a few people from the martial arts world this morning. They were all quite ambiguous, and it seems Wu Hong has already contacted them."

"Wu Hong? He's so fast?"

"He arrived half a day earlier than us. This half day was enough time for him to meet many people. And according to Xiao Tanzi and the others' investigation, he has been in close contact with Long Changsheng, the second owner of Longwu Villa, since he came to Quancheng. So I suspect that it was this second owner who introduced him to these people in the martial arts world."

Luo Lan's eyes trembled slightly, his crystal eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:

"In that case, we have to be on guard against this Manor Master Long Er."

Leng Yu's expression was somewhat solemn. He breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the arena built not far from Longwu Villa, lowering his eyebrows and saying:

"We have to guard not only against this Long Erzhuangji, but also the owner of Longzhuang. Look, the people on the ring are just decorations. Their punches are weak, and the two people on the stage are fighting back and forth without a clear winner. It's like they are deliberately delaying time."

"What do you mean? Were these people arranged in advance by Manor Master Long?"

Leng Yu's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he shook his head and said:

"I don't know, let's go for a walk on the street!"

After saying that, they walked around the ring and headed towards the main street.

Quancheng should be considered a larger city west of the capital. The economy here is relatively prosperous and there are many people. Perhaps because some underworld activities are often held here, most of the inns and restaurants here are overcrowded.

"Husband, there's a teahouse up ahead, let's go sit for a while!"

"good."

Leng Yu raised his head and looked at the teahouse with a larger facade, took her hand and walked towards that direction.

When the waiter saw a customer coming in, he hurried over on tiptoe.

"Everyone, please come in. There's a vacant seat."

Looking in the direction the waiter pointed, I saw an empty table near the window, and the rest of the seats were full.

After Leng Yu and Luo Lan walked over, they motioned A Cai, A Hong, Xiao Lingzi and the twins to sit down as well. They ordered six cups of Longjing tea and chatted while sipping the tea.

At this time, the conversation between several people at the neighboring table caught their attention.

"Brother, this trip has been in vain. We even lost all our money."

"You're not at a loss, I'm giving you ten taels of silver!"

"Ten taels of silver? It's not even enough for the round trip, and we're going to have to spend money on food and drinks along the way."

"Well, just be content. I didn't beat you up and throw you out. Drink up quickly so you can get going again."

Listening to the voices of these people, Leng Yu winked at Xiao Lingzi. After he nodded, he slowly walked over to those people and asked with a bow:

"Are you brothers also here to participate in the martial arts conference?"

The people who were talking looked up at him and waved their hands at him:

"Go away, we don't have time for you."

Xiao Lingzi said in a flattering manner:

"To be honest, brothers, we are here to participate in the martial arts conference. We are new here and don't know much about this place. Seeing that you are all chivalrous people, we wanted to ask you a few questions. Have you competed or not?"

After hearing what Xiao Lingzi said, one of them waved his hand and said:

"Little brother, go to Changhai Hutong in the west of the city to collect the silver, and then go back as soon as possible. Don't waste time here."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi continued to ask in confusion,

"Why is this? You come to the martial arts conference, but you don't fight in the arena, just to collect the money and go home? I don't understand, brothers, please tell me something."

After saying this, he waved his hand to the waiter and said:

"Waiter, I'll pay for these brothers' tea. Bring me another pot of good tea."

Seeing Xiao Lingzi paying the bill, one of them made room for him and waved to Xiao Lingzi, saying:

"Brother, we are leaving now. You just arrived, so let us give you some advice."

Xiao Lingzi nodded heavily, "Thank you very much, brothers. After we finish our tea, I will treat you to a drink at the restaurant before we continue our journey."

Hearing this, those people were stunned at first, and then they all clasped their fists to Xiao Lingzi in surprise.

"Brother, judging by your attire, you're no ordinary person. To be honest, we brothers walked all the way here. We walked for a whole month. We wanted to take advantage of this martial arts conference to show off and prove that our years in the martial arts world were not in vain. But who would have thought..."

"Stop it, stop it."

Just as Xiao Lingzi was listening attentively, he was interrupted by another person in a low voice.

They all looked towards the door and saw several people wearing clothes with the word "dragon" printed on the back walking into the teahouse.

The man who had just spoken quickly straightened his expression and whispered to Xiao Lingzi:

"Don't mess with me. I'll tell you more later."

Xiao Lingzi frowned and nodded, "Okay, let's go to the restaurant later and sit down. I'll treat you brothers to a drink."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to those people and sat down in front of Leng Yu again.

Leng Yu also saw the person who just came in, wearing Long family clothes, so he whispered to Xiao Lingzi:

"You and the twins take them to the restaurant. We'll go to Changhai Hutong and meet up here at 5 p.m."

"No, Your Highness. We are not with you. What if you and the princess are in danger?"

"It's okay. We're just going to inquire about it. It'll be fine. I won't reveal my identity. Besides, Zhang Yuan and the other two are gathering information in the city. We might run into them soon."
