Chapter 2282 They addressed each other as brothers, feeling like they had known each other for a lon

In terms of pure strength, Rong Che only needed to release a wisp of his aura to kill Lin Changsheng. Nevertheless, Rong Che dared not underestimate Lin Changsheng in the slightest, treating him as an equal and showing him the utmost respect.

"Please take a seat."

Lin Changsheng pointed to the empty seat in front of him, a smile playing on his lips.

After sitting down, Chen Qingyuan got straight to the point: "From today onwards, Senior Rong will be the guardian elder of my Qing Sect."

Since there was a third person present, Chen Qingyuan had to give Rong Che some face and address him as a senior rather than an old mudfish.

"This is a great honor for the Azure Sect."

Upon hearing this topic, Lin Changsheng immediately stood up and bowed.

"Sect Master, you flatter me."

Rong Che quickly returned the greeting.

If Chen Qingyuan weren't here, Rong Che could have accepted the greeting openly. But now, Rong Che is behaving rather docilely, as if he weren't some invincible figure who could sweep across the world, but rather an ordinary person.

"You can discuss the specifics regarding the Protector of the Clan's Guest Elders later."

Chen Qingyuan was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.

"You two can continue your conversation. I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Anyway, Rong Che passed the test at Tingdao Mountain, so there's no need to worry about his character. Chen Qingyuan had other important matters to attend to, so he wouldn't stay for tea.

"Alright, I will treat Senior Rong well and will not neglect him in the slightest."

Lin Changsheng said solemnly.

"I hope that Senior Rong and Senior Brother can get along well and avoid any conflicts."

Chen Qingyuan smiled slightly at Rong Che, but beneath that smile lay a hint of warning.

On the surface, Chen Qingyuan showed great respect for Rong Che.

Regardless of the circumstances, Rong Che is a genuine emperor, and his reputation must not be tarnished; it should be carefully maintained.

However, Chen Qingyuan wouldn't be so polite behind the scenes. He secretly transmitted his voice, serious and earnest: "My senior brother is the master of the Qing Sect. No matter what, you should maintain the most basic respect. If there is any friction, do not get angry. Otherwise, I will be very unhappy."

Hearing Chen Qingyuan's blunt threat, Rong Che felt slightly helpless and replied telepathically, "I know."

Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know my place?

Since Rong Che had decided to become a guest elder of the Qing Sect, he had naturally made mental preparations. He could have privileges, but he absolutely could not be above the sect leader.

It's not that Chen Qingyuan is being long-winded, but rather that it's necessary to prevent problems before they arise. If Rong Che suddenly loses his mind and does something irrational, Lin Changsheng won't be able to control him, which will only cause more trouble.

To ensure Lin Changsheng's safety, Chen Qingyuan had prepared a protective jade pendant for him several years ago.

This item was meticulously crafted by Chen Qingyuan, incorporating numerous precious stones and materials, and also engraved with several extraordinary profound runes. It's no exaggeration to say that withstanding several ordinary Emperor-level attacks would be no difficult task.

Having explained everything, Chen Qingyuan no longer worried about what would happen next. He got up and left the place, heading straight for his Wonderful Treasure Land.

Inside the elegant hall, Lin Changsheng poured two cups of tea and said respectfully, "From now on, I will address the Emperor as Senior Rong. Is that alright?"

"Sect Master, there's no need to be so polite. We can treat each other as equals."

Rong Che's words were not just polite talk; they came from the heart.

Look how polite our sect leader is, knowing how to respect his elders, unlike Chen Qingyuan who went too far.

"You are both the progenitor of the dragon race and a ruler of a generation. It would be very inappropriate for me to address you as an equal."

Although Lin Changsheng was facing an ancient emperor, he remained composed and showed no fear. He smiled and spoke calmly.

"If the sect leader thinks highly of me, we can address each other as brothers from now on. I am a few years older than you, so you can just call me Brother Rong. Of course, if the sect leader doesn't think highly of me, then we'll leave it at that."

Rong Che was completely serious, showing no sign of joking.

"This..." Lin Changsheng and Rong Che looked at each other, and after confirming that the other's expression was serious and not joking, Lin Changsheng hesitated for a few breaths before saying, "Since you have said so, I will shamelessly call you Brother Rong from now on."

Rong Che's serious expression vanished abruptly, and he smiled, "That's right."

"Brother Rong, let me toast you."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Changsheng took out a glass of wine, stood up, and offered a toast.

"Brother, there's no need for such formalities."

Rong Che did not remain seated; instead, he stood up and returned the toast with a glass of wine.

The two exchanged a smile and sat back down in their original seats.

Since they addressed each other as brothers, their relationship was no longer distant and quickly became closer.

After a few drinks, they began to discuss the details of the Protectorate Guest Elders.

Rong Che didn't seem to care much about this: "I'll leave it all to my brother."

After chatting for a while, the matters concerning the guest advisor were settled, and Rong Che was very satisfied, without feeling any awkwardness.

Under normal circumstances, the Qingzong should arrange a grand ceremony to announce to the world and demonstrate the immense power of the newly promoted Guardian Elder.

However, Rong Che didn't want to be too high-profile, so he had to give up.

We won't announce it to the public yet; we'll wait until the time is right.

The strange phenomenon Rong Che just caused was purely an emotional outburst. His body hasn't fully recovered yet, and in this unprecedented chaotic world, it's best to keep a low profile, otherwise he might attract unnecessary trouble.

The two then talked about other things, becoming increasingly familiar with each other and finding they shared similar interests, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Since he intends to stay in the Azure Sect, Rong Che can't afford to put on airs. Building a good relationship with Lin Changsheng is not a bad thing.

In addition, Rong Che fantasized about a possibility: if he became sworn brothers with Lin Changsheng, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of Chen Qingyuan in the future?

Being on good terms with Lin Changsheng would not only allow him to live comfortably in the Qingzong sect, but also give him a legitimate and secure seniority advantage over Chen Qingyuan, making it a win-win situation.

"Brother, could you tell me more about the history and development of our Green Sect?"

Rong Che wanted to learn more about it.

"Of course, the Azure Sect was established 300,000 years ago..."

Lin Changsheng readily agreed to the request and explained in detail.

Before they knew it, they were talking about Chen Qingyuan's past.

The topic of Chen Qingyuan was naturally brought up by Rong Che, who was quite curious about it.

"When my junior brother was young, his soul had not yet recovered, and he was very mischievous, jumping around all day."

Looking back, Lin Changsheng's eyes rippled with emotion, his expression changed slightly, and he was filled with many feelings.

"Please explain in detail!"

As they chatted about Chen Qingyuan's gossip and past, Rong Che's interest soared, and his deep eyes flashed with a sharp light, full of anticipation.

"Okay, let's talk slowly."

This isn't a secret anyway, so Lin Changsheng has no reason to hide it.

……

A blessed land, shrouded in ethereal mist.

An Xiruo stood waiting on the cliff edge of the elegant residence.

call--

A gentle breeze stirred, and Chen Qingyuan, stepping on the dreamlike, picturesque mist, walked straight to An Xiruo, his gaze warm and his face smiling.

"Has it been dealt with?"

Looking at the newcomer, An Xiruo displayed a gentle and beautiful expression.

Chen Qingyuan: "Mm."

An Xiruo: "Shall we set off now?"
