ong Sword. It was clear that he was very interested in the sword.Chen Ping saw that Xiahou Dun was very fond of the Dragon Slaying Sword, and suddenly had a plan. He retracted his momentum, and his wh...On the way back on the ship, Long Wu and Chen Ping stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze blowing on their faces.

"Being so high-profile in representing the Hufa Pavilion in this competition is risky. You're exposing yourself too quickly. I think the Long family has already noticed you, and they might know that you are the person they are looking for"

Long Wu asked Chen Ping.

Chen Ping shook his head: "I don't know either, but I should have met that Long Jingguo!"

"What" Long Wu was startled. "Did Long Jingguo look for you"

"During the competition, he was under the stage. Even though he wore a hat and a mask, I could feel it was him..."

Chen Ping said calmly.

Long Wu frowned slightly: "Damn it, since you can feel him, he must also be able to sense your aura and bloodline. He should be confirming your identity now, and the Long family might very well know who you are."

Long Wu's face was full of worry. Although Chen Ping was very strong now, he still couldn't compare to the entire Long family. If Long Jingguo knew Chen Ping's identity and sent people to deal with him, Chen Ping would have no ability to resist.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, meet the soldiers with soldiers and the water with earth."

At this point, Chen Ping had accepted the situation. Things had progressed to this stage, and he could only keep moving forward while observing what happened next.

"That's all there is to it, though. You now belong to the Hufa Pavilion. While it may not be as powerful as other factions, it is officially sanctioned. If you manage to gain favor with the higher-ups, perhaps even the Long family wouldn't dare to touch you!"

Long Wu analyzed.

Chen Ping nodded, he also thought so. Under his current strength, if he wanted to get rid of the pursuit of so many sects and families, he could only temporarily rely on the imperial court.

However, the power of Hufa Ge is still too small. Although Zhao Wujī is the head of Hufa Ge, he doesn't have much power. Those sects and aristocratic families look down on Hufa Ge.

To gain favor with the imperial court, Chen Ping needed to network with influential figures. Relying solely on Zhao Wuji would likely not be enough to introduce him to powerful individuals.

At this moment, Chen Ping suddenly remembered a person, Chang Yu Jun. When Chen Ping first came to Kyoto, he helped treat his son's illness. Perhaps he could use Chang Yu Jun's connections to get closer to the upper class and temporarily rely on the imperial court's power to make these clans and families temporarily give up pursuing him.

"Long Shu, now that you've given all your kung fu to Yuxi and Ling'er, what are you going to do next"

Chen Ping asked.

"What else can we do Find a place to hide, and live a peaceful life for the rest of our lives…"

Looking into the distance, Long Wu's eyes seemed to hold a hint of unwillingness, but more so a sense of resignation.

Have you thought about where you want to go Why not come to Hongcheng I have a house there, and I know a lot of people. It's a peaceful place to live, and I can take care of you in your old age...

Long Wu became like this all for Chen Ping, and Chen Ping felt very guilty in his heart.

"Alright, I'll just live a peaceful life in that small city of Hongcheng."

Long Wu nodded, which made Chen Ping very happy. He had been worried that Long Wu wouldn't want to go.

Soon, the ship docked. It was not yet dark. Seeing the ship return suddenly, everyone waiting on shore for the result was a little surprised.

Nobody expected the ship to return so quickly. The race was scheduled for three days, and it would have been great if they could return after three days, but it had only been a day, and the ship had already returned. No one knew what had happened.

Zhao Wujie and Anna hurried over, wanting to see what happened and why they returned so quickly.

When Zhao Wuji and Anna saw Chen Ping and Andrew disembark safely, they finally let out a breath of relief.

But the island nation's leader, who was also waiting at the dock, didn't see Watanabe Ichiro and his men disembark for a long time. The expression on his face instantly turned extremely grim.ructed that the artifact had to be personally handed over to the master himself.
