Chapter 158: Chapter 157 Invitation

Chen Xuan had just arrived at the Divine Capture Bureau not long when Ye Yilan sent someone saying he was to go to the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Squeak… Squeak…”

The carriage moved along the street, making a piercing noise.

’Why is Old Ye looking for me?’

When he returned from Celestial Water Commandery, he had already said that he wasn’t going to do the Deputy Director role at the Divine Capture Bureau, but Ye Yilan disagreed.

The reason was that Zhuge Potian was injured, and the Divine Capture Bureau needed a master to hold the fort.

So he had to do it!

After some time, they would drop the “Deputy” from his title.

Chen Xuan was immediately displeased; did he cherish the Director role? Too troublesome!

Finally, they reached a compromise: once Zhuge Potian recovered, he could resign.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Lao Huang’s voice drifted in.

“Master Chen, we have arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“Mm!”

Replying softly, he stepped out of the carriage.

“Still somewhat not used to entering through the main gate.”

Muttering a bit, he greeted the guards at the entrance and walked inside.

He still preferred using Divine Footwork – convenient and fast.

But last time, Ye Yilan had sternly warned him again that without special circumstances, if he dared to appear directly in the City Lord’s Mansion, he’d be finished.

Although Chen Xuan was not afraid of him now, out of respect for him as the Mansion Master of Youlan Mansion and Xuan Er’s brother, he naturally agreed.

After entering the City Lord’s Mansion, he walked straight to the familiar hall.

Just at that moment, Feng Zheng came face to face with him.

Chen Xuan greeted him with a smile, “Ah Feng, long time no see, where are you headed?”

Feng Zheng found him truly bothersome.

This kid’s respect for him decreased as his strength increased, and now he kept saying “Ah Feng”!

He had told him many times, but he acted like he didn’t hear.

Truly exhausting!

“The City Lord is not in the hall, follow me!” He didn’t even want to waste an extra word with him.

“Oh!”

Chen Xuan nodded, not really caring about it, and continued to tease him, “Ah Feng, what’s wrong? Now that the battle is finally over, shouldn’t you be a bit happier? Why aren’t you smiling?”

Feigning a look of great confusion.

Seeing his mischievous expression, Feng Zheng really wanted to strangle him alive.

But considering this kid is a Spirit and Martial Dual Cultivator, neither aspect weaker than his, the impulse quickly faded.

He didn’t engage with him along the way, pretending he didn’t hear anything Chen Xuan said.

And when Chen Xuan noticed he wasn’t responding, he found it boring and began to admire the scenery of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Feng Zheng, walking ahead, had a slight smile at the corner of his mouth; the best way to deal with this kid was to completely ignore him, let him talk to himself like a fool.

With this thought, his originally gloomy mood improved quite a bit.

They wandered around for half an hour, and seeing Feng Zheng still not planning to stop, Chen Xuan couldn’t hold back any longer, “Ah Feng, how much longer? Why don’t you just tell me where it is? I’d go directly!”

The City Lord’s Mansion prohibited flying, a rule set by Ye Yilan.

He certainly didn’t dare to break it, but Chen Xuan didn’t care now. To him, it was simply a waste of time.

With this free time, he might as well cultivate.

“Why rush? We’re almost there.” Feng Zheng turned around and glared at him.

Then he ignored him again.

“Damn!”

Chen Xuan didn’t hold back and cursed aloud.

In the end, they reached a lake before Feng Zheng stopped, pointing ahead, “We’re here, the Mansion Master and Lord Two are fishing on the island in the middle of the lake, go on your own!”

Indeed, Ye Yilan really knew how to enjoy life.

He actually built the City Lord’s Mansion beside a lake.

“Should’ve said so earlier! Wasting time!”

Then, he directly flew towards the island in the middle of the lake.

“Hahaha…” After Chen Xuan left, Feng Zheng laughed heartily, feeling truly pleased to see Chen Xuan like that.

“Keep calling me Ah Feng all the time!”

Actually, Ye Yilan had intended for him to tell Chen Xuan to wait by the lake behind the City Lord’s Mansion, but he deliberately took him around as a little revenge.

“Ah Feng! You know nothing of a third-grade Spirit Cultivator, talking bad about me so close by.”

Suddenly, Chen Xuan’s voice floated over from a distance.

But Feng Zheng still pretended not to hear and quickly left the place.

“Playing with me, huh? Let’s see how I mess with you next time!”

Cursing out loud, but then quickly calming down, he gently landed on the island, where the two of them were quietly fishing together.

“Truly leisurely!”

He sighed inwardly and then respectfully called out, “Greetings, Master, greetings Lord Mansion Master.”

“Sit down!”

Xuan Er pointed to a stone stool next to him and said lightly.

“Yes!”

Chen Xuan nodded and slowly sat down, asking, “Master, what do you need from me this time?”

“The rebel army is establishing a nation! Setting its capital in Yonghe Commandery, Yan Province, in two months!”

“At that time, they will offer sacrifices to the heavens. To widen their influence, they’ve invited many experts to observe, and I received an invitation yesterday,”

Xuan Er said.

’Yan Province, huh?’

Chen Xuan thought to himself, last time Primordial Thunder said the Great Lord was going to Yan Province.

But now this world felt like a storm was brewing, and he was only at the second grade, barely able to protect himself. To protect those around him, he at least needed the first grade!

So now he just wants to stay at Youlan Mansion and cultivate slowly.

But what does Xuan Er mean by this?

So he asked, “What does Master mean?”

“Worship the heavens, and when the time comes, it…” He pointed to the sky, “it will bestow blessings, which will greatly benefit Martial Artists!”

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I’m asking if you’re going?”

So that’s what it is.

But for him, he doesn’t really care about any heavenly blessings. He’s not relying on that for his cultivation, but… Master is in Yan Province…

Chen Xuan remained silent.

But Xuan Er wasn’t in a hurry to push him.

Instead, Ye Yilan next to him spoke up, “It’s very rare to encounter something like worshiping the heavens. According to records from when Great Xia was founded, many people successfully broke through to the first grade after receiving blessings from the heavens, so this is a rare opportunity.”

Even though he said that,

Chen Xuan, to be honest, still wasn’t very willing.

So he said, “Isn’t there still two months? I’ll think it over.”

“Mm!”

Xuan Er nodded slightly.

After Chen Xuan left, Ye Yilan asked, a bit puzzled, “Such a good opportunity, and you let him decide? I really don’t understand you!”

Xuan Er glanced at him and said lightly, “You don’t understand the world of geniuses. These are just the icing on the cake. It’s just like me. Didn’t I still manage to become first grade on my own? You don’t understand!”

“Get lost!”

Infuriated, Ye Yilan threw the fishing rod into the lake. Damn it, he’s really had enough.

Is it because they have talent that they can do whatever they want!

But Xuan Er didn’t seem to plan on letting him off. He continued to provoke, “You can go too. Though you’re a bit older, after receiving blessings from the heavens, it’s possible you might break through to the first grade! Unless you’re afraid of dying!”

“Old Xuan!” Ye Yilan suddenly became calm, but the next moment he roared, “Get lost!”

With that, he left the island without looking back.

He really couldn’t stay there for even a moment longer, if he went, wouldn’t that be looking to die!

He’s the Mansion Master of Youlan Mansion, the master of a mansion in Great Xia. Unless he wanted to defect, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare even if beaten to death.

“This teacher and disciple pair are getting more and more outrageous.”

He muttered under his breath.

And after Jin Cen returned from the front lines, she often sat there in a daze alone. At first, he thought she was thinking about something, but later realized something was off; it happened frequently.

After asking Feng Zheng, he learned that maybe his precious daughter had a good impression of that rascal Chen Xuan.

It’s really troubling him to death.

He’s only got this one precious daughter, and because of what happened back then, he’s always felt guilty towards her and her mother. So in his heart, he just hopes she can be happy every day.

This kid, what’s his intention? Does he have any interest in Jin Cen!

His precious daughter is so beautiful and talented, just a bit cold.

“Sigh!”

He let out a long, deep sigh. If it doesn’t work, he’ll have to swallow his pride and matchmake them.

Being a good father is really hard!·

…

Leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Chen Xuan was in a state of dilemma on the carriage.

To go or not to go?

Even if he goes, he can’t go alone; he definitely has to bring a few women along.

After all, he can’t bear to part with the daily skill points.

But bringing everyone along would be too troublesome.

After a long time, Chen Xuan patted his face and shook his head,

“Forget it, forget it, let’s talk about it later.”

He couldn’t come to a conclusion, so he decided to let things take their course.

Three days passed in a blink.

Except for a visit to the Divine Capture Bureau before, he stayed at the Chen Mansion to cultivate.

In the side room.

Looking at the panel in front of him.

…

[Divine Techniques: Evolution (Mastered), Divine Footwork (Progression (9900/60000)]

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Second Grade (Consciousness Sea (36%)), Spirit Cultivator: Third Tier]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Consummate Realm), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Fourth Layer (3010/64000)), Cloud Soaring Technique (Progression (0/4000)]

[Skill Points: 59365]

…

About a month left until the next evolution of the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique.

During this time, he needs to focus on accumulating skill points, to upgrade directly once the evolution succeeds.

Based on past experience, it roughly requires around 200,000 skill points.

“Too slow!”

Even if the evolution is successful at this speed.

“Looks like I need to upgrade this Cloud Soaring Technique.”

Su Yun is only at the sixth grade now, hasn’t made much progress for a long time, and her aptitude is average. It seems he still needs to upgrade the Cloud Soaring Technique and teach her well.

“Only 4000 points!”

Upgrade! Do it! Get it done!

Moreover, afterwards Chen Xuan thickened his face to get a lot of Immortal Spirit Dates and some cultivation-accelerating elixirs from Ye Yilan.

This time he was extremely generous.

Should say he met all requests, which made Chen Xuan very surprised.

However, he didn’t care too much; since he was given, he took them all and fed them to Su Yun.

Finally, after half a month,

with this kind of force-feeding help, Su Yun reached the fifth grade!
