CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 188: THE ARROGANT CHEN XUAN

"Why is it him?"

Ye Yilan’s face suddenly changed. Why did Qi Lin suddenly come here?

Though surprised inside, she immediately plastered a smile on her face, hurriedly walked over, respectfully made a bow, and asked, "National Preceptor Qi suddenly arriving at Youlan Mansion, is there something you need Yilan to do?"

She indeed felt very apprehensive towards this man.

Though he looked like a feeble old man on the surface, his ruthlessness! Just look at those sect members.

"Haha!" Qi Lin smiled slightly. "I heard Chen Xuan is marrying your daughter today, so I specially came to offer my congratulations, shouldn’t I be welcomed?"

While speaking to Ye Yilan, his gaze was directed towards Chen Xuan.

Clearly, he came here today for him.

The beast riots in Great Xia Jingzhou have ended, but the other four provinces are still in turmoil.

Even with the current military strength, solving the beast problem would lead to dire consequences.

And Chen Xuan possesses the "Luohe" that restrains demon beasts!

It must be noted that the Imperial City cannot do without him.

But to resolve the beast riots sooner, he had to come.

"Uh~"

Ye Yilan slowly turned around, Xuan Er’s smile had already disappeared, returning to his usual indifferent demeanor.

Regarding Qi Lin, he wouldn’t show a friendly face.

If not for fear of this old man’s power, it would surely lead to a big fight.

As for his precious daughter, Ye Jincen looked puzzled.

He knew who Qi Lin was, the formidable National Preceptor of Great Xia, a person second only to the Emperor, unlikely to be here for her marriage at Youlan Mansion.

Not even her father Ye Yilan or Xuan Er have this qualification.

The only possible reason is—

His eyes turned to Chen Xuan.

At this moment, he frowned deeply, a trace of displeasure appearing in his eyes, clearly showing that he was quite unhappy with Qi Lin’s unexpected arrival.

"Today is my homecoming day. National Preceptor Qi comes to congratulate my newlywed, welcome! For other matters, let’s discuss after today!"

Not a single hint of politeness.

A smile doesn’t get hit?

But it depends on whose smile!

"Bold fellow, truly arrogant." Ye Yilan was shocked by his attitude. Qi Lin is the National Preceptor of Great Xia, the Emperor has been in seclusion for years, and it’s said that Qi Lin runs Great Xia now.

However, he wasn’t too worried, because this fellow now had the power to say such things.

"Of course, today is purely to offer congratulations, nothing else!"

Even though Chen Xuan spoke so bluntly, Qi Lin still maintained a smile, though displeased inside, waiting for other matters!

"Welcome!"

Chen Xuan tried his best to force a smile. For Qi Lin, achieving this was already quite difficult.

If not today’s date, then which day?

Old fox!

"National Preceptor Qi, please come in!"

The shrewd Ye Yilan quickly spoke, moving aside, allowing him to enter.

"Unexpected that my daughter’s marriage has alerted the National Preceptor, truly a crime, a crime!"

"Currently, Great Xia is in a turbulent time, you could’ve just sent someone. Why make a personal visit, making Yilan feel quite guilty."

Ye Yilan acted as if flattered and overwhelmed.

But Qi Lin didn’t say a word, merely nodded slightly, and walked straight to Chen Xuan.

However, he wasn’t embarrassed, for he clearly understood Qi Lin’s purpose, doing this only to lighten the atmosphere.

"A small token, congratulations!" Saying that he opened a red box, a dazzling golden light burst instantly, turning the entire hall into a golden hue.

Inside the box, four thumb-sized golden pills.

"This is...?"

Chen Xuan felt a familiar aura from these four pills.

"Dragon Spirit Pills!"

Xuan Er calmly spoke at this moment, his heart like turbulent waves, raising his gaze towards Qi Lin, unbelieving that he actually gifted four Dragon Spirit Pills.

It must be known, these pills are refined with the National Spirit of Great Xia.

Since Xia Yi’s ascension, there are likely only a dozen or so over these years.

The rarity of these Dragon Spirit Pills is evident, showing his urgency now.

"Yes, exactly Dragon Spirit Pills. I think these four Dragon Spirit Pills can represent Great Xia’s sincerity, right? Not sure if they can move you?"

Chen Xuan demanded sincerity, and he provided it!

Now let’s see if he can be touched!

"Divine Technique—Telepathy!"

Muttering internally, he wanted to see how powerful these Dragon Spirit Pills were, even Xuan Er’s face changed upon first glance.

Instantly, a faint blue glow appeared in his eyes.

"Roar—"

A subtle dragon roar suddenly sounded by the ear, and within the thumb-sized pill was an unexpected little golden dragon.

Circling inside the pill.

"This should be the National Spirit of Great Xia!"

Not only this, all the materials needed for the pills unexpectedly appeared in his mind.

"Is this Telepathy?"

Chen Xuan was utterly shocked, seeing through all the obstacles in the world, so this is what it means.

As for the pills, well, they’re alright!

"The pill is not bad! I’ll take it! I’ve seen your sincerity, but as for the rest, let’s talk about it tomorrow!"

"Alright!"

Qi Lin knew from his expression that he was definitely satisfied, but little did he know, Chen Xuan was surprised not because of the Dragon Spirit Pill but because of Telepathy.

The red box flew automatically to Chen Xuan’s hand, but he immediately handed it to Ye Jincen.

"Then there’s no need to see you off!"

Having received the item and not talking further, of course, Qi Lin should leave.

After he left, Ye Yilan finally dared to speak, "You kid, you really have guts! In today’s Great Xia, you’re the first to hang Qi Lin out to dry! Even His Majesty wouldn’t do that."

"He needs something from me, isn’t that a normal thing?"

Chen Xuan shrugged, not feeling at all that what he did was inappropriate.

This is the confidence that strength brings him; it’s that simple.

"Are you saying he wants to invite you to eliminate the demon beasts in the other four provinces?" Ye Yilan finally understood.

"Of course, otherwise why would he lower his face to seek me out?"

"Moreover, he mentioned it the day before in Jingzhou, even using the people of the four provinces to persuade me. It’s ridiculous!" At this moment, Chen Xuan’s eyes were full of disdain.

"If it were really for the people of the four provinces, Xia Yi should have taken action! This Great Xia’s surname is Xia, not Chen!"

"You kid, don’t talk nonsense! His Majesty’s strength is unfathomable, don’t think just because you’re at Five Layers of Purity, you can act recklessly."

Ye Yilan was also scared into a cold sweat by his boldness.

Truly daring to say anything.

Great Xia is not Great Zhou, and His Majesty is not comparable to that young lad.

"Alright, you’re too talkative!" Xuan Er naturally wanted to protect Chen Xuan, especially since he was still young and had the strength of Five Layers of Purity now.

Being a bit arrogant didn’t feel improper to him.

Young people, doing some outrageous things, as long as it’s not too excessive, is quite normal.

But then he asked, "Are you planning to take action?"

"Of course, I need ’Luohe,’ so I definitely have to take action, but he must give me benefits!"

Things need to be done, benefits need to be gained! Both are indispensable!

"Aren’t these four Dragon Spirit Pills enough?" Ye Yilan was dumbfounded. Hearing him, he still wanted more benefits?

"Aren’t these his wedding gifts to me? Of course, they don’t count."

Chen Xuan had a matter-of-fact look.

Looking at Ye Yilan, he shook his head. Really, this kid is so greedy, his appetite is too large.

These are Dragon Spirit Pills!

But still reminded him, "Watch it, don’t get too greedy! His Majesty is very strong, though it’s not clear how many Layers of Purity, but definitely stronger than you. Even Qi Lin isn’t weaker than you, right?"

His meaning was simple, just don’t push it too far.

If you really ask for too much and anger him, even if he has Telepathy, the result won’t be good.

"His Martial Cultivation should be around Four Layers of Purity, Spirit Cultivation Tier Four of the Divine Soul!"

Just as Qi Lin left, he glanced with Telepathy and knew his real strength.

One can’t deny, Telepathy is truly strong.

With this Divine Technique, anyone in front of him is almost like being naked.

"Double Tier Four, huh!"

Xuan Er muttered, a trace of fear flickering in his eyes.

That old guy is really strong!

Especially Spirit Cultivation, Tier Four of the Divine Soul, not much weaker than Five Layers of Purity, and Spirit Cultivation is harder to progress than Martial Cultivation in the later stages.

Just like him, Spirit Cultivation was once Tier One, but still at Tier One of the Divine Soul, while Martial Cultivation has already reached Purity Three Layers.

"Since he’s so powerful, why doesn’t he go and eliminate the demon beasts himself?"

Ye Jincen asked puzzled.

She doesn’t know much about Martial Cultivation, but Tier Four of the Divine Soul in Spirit Cultivation is genuinely terrifying.

"Haha! The four provinces are so vast, how could he possibly kill all those demon beasts alone? And he doesn’t have Divine Footsteps, more importantly, he can’t leave the Imperial City for too long, His Majesty is in seclusion, he has to hold the fort in the Imperial City."

Ye Yilan laughed as he explained.

"That’s right, without Divine Footsteps, he dreams of killing those demon beasts quickly!"

Chen Xuan looked disdainful.

As his strength grew, his understanding of this Divine Technique deepened, realizing how powerful it is.

One could say, unless one can kill him instantly without letting him react at all.

So even those stronger than him aren’t feared.

In the entire Nine Provinces, the only ones who could make him apprehensive are Xia Yi, and possibly Zhou Zheng in the future, but not yet.

These two Emperors could suppress space with National Spirit. He couldn’t escape.

"Have you noticed, this kid is becoming more and more like you in your youth, so unruly!" At this time, Ye Yilan turned to Xuan Er.

"Not at all! He’s stronger!"

Though he was wild and arrogant in his youth, he didn’t have this level of strength.

Arrogance without strength is just foolishness!

Whereas Chen Xuan is putting on airs!

There’s a big difference between the two.

"Alright, let’s not talk about it, these Dragon Spirit Pills still have some effect on you, but probably can’t break through to Six Layers of Purity!" Xuan Er picked up one, studied it closely, and sniffed it.

No doubt the most potent pills of Great Xia! Just sniffing it stirred the spiritual power in him.
