"How is it? Do you feel a sense of boiling?"
Beside him, Zhuge Potian asked with a smile in his eyes.
"Hmm... a little bit."
"Hahaha... no worries, go back and cultivate well to digest it, I’m sure you can advance further. At that ti, you’ll be closer to reaching Third Grade. These are for you, they’re of no use to anyway, I’m giving them to you!"
While speaking, he took out five items and handed them along with the jade plate.
"Ah... this, many thanks from your subordinate."
Chen Xuan hesitated for a mont before receiving them, not forgetting to express his gratitude.
After all, he had promised Qin Gang and Liu He, and he only had seven left for himself, with so family mbers needing them.
"Hehe, consider this your reward, you’ve worked hard during this period."
Zhuge Potian could be considered a good leader.
At least he was considerate to him.
"Chen Xuan, is it the second ti we’ve t?" At this mont, Feng Zheng suddenly spoke.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly stood up, "Greetings, Chief Steward."
"Sit, sit, the Mansion Master has said it, today is the sa for everyone!" Feng Zheng motioned him to sit.
"Oh, so Chief Steward Feng has t this boy before, huh? How is it, my judgnt is not bad, right? He once alone caught and killed the Flower Thief, his strength is indeed quite good, I don’t think it will take long before he reaches Third Grade! Then the strength of the Divine Capture Bureau will increase significantly!"
Zhuge Potian was quite proud.
"Hmm, not bad, your judgnt is indeed good!" Feng Zheng smiled and gave Chen Xuan a aningful glance, then looked at Zhuge Potian.
Uh....
Chen Xuan felt both awkward and amused.
Amusing, of course, because of Zhuge Potian. He was already at Third Grade before, and now he’s even Second Grade, yet he foolishly thought he was Fifth Grade!
If he finds out about this in the future, he’ll probably want to crawl into a hole.
It’s so embarrassing.
As for the awkwardness, it was to maintain a low profile at that ti, hiding so strength.
Feng Zheng’s look said it all, but fortunately, he didn’t point it out.
And at this mont, a song and dance ended.
Ye Yilan stood up, and seeing this, the crowd also got up one after another but was stopped by him, "No need to be formal, this ti of the Youlan Association, as everyone knows, is for my daughter Ye Jincen’s 18th birthday, so as a father, I should also be worried about her marriage."
"Therefore, during this Youlan Association, I also want her to et the young talents of my Youlan Mansion!"
"Of course, the most important thing is her own opinion."
"As her father, I’m just here to set a threshold, and there are so conditions."
At this point, Ye Yilan paused, his gaze swept around.
At this mont, the young talents present imdiately straightened their backs, displaying a look of dignified confidence, hoping to catch Ye Yilan’s eye.
Of course, except for Chen Xuan, he wasn’t considering marrying into Youlan Mansion.
"First, 20 years old or younger, she doesn’t like it if they’re too old!"
"Second, Martial Dao talent, at least Fifth Grade! This is the minimum, and before turning 25, one must reach Fourth Grade! Otherwise, you can’t protect my daughter!"
"Third, of course, it’s about character!"
"Just these three points, not that demanding! Anyone who ets these criteria, the doors of my Youlan Mansion are always open for you!"
After announcing these three requirents, the people who were full of dignity just a mont ago instantly beca dispirited.
Even their elders beside them were unhappy, feeling they were being played.
These demands...
Say it earlier! Then they wouldn’t have brought their juniors, it’s simply embarrassing.
There’s no one in the entire Youlan Mansion who ets such conditions.
It’s simply.... nonsense!
These requirents.... aren’t high?
The rest is okay, but at least Fifth Grade now, which seems not difficult, but to be under 20, let alone reaching Fourth Grade under 25.
Even Chen Xuan couldn’t help feeling sowhat sorry for these ’talents’ of Youlan Mansion!
Ye Yilan’s face still carried a smile at this mont, but his heart was rather helpless.
He knew these demands were high, of course.
But there was no choice, it’s his beloved daughter’s requirent.
Even saying she wouldn’t lower it for life, even if she remained unmarried.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree, and of course, it’s not just that!
Being a father.... is really tough.
"Brother Ye, how about letting the young lady accompany to the Imperial City?"
The one who spoke was Yun Wen, dressed in a brown luxurious robe, one of the three Grand Commanders of the Imperial Army, and a friend of Ye Yilan.
He ca to Youlan Mansion for official business, but also because he fancied Ye Jincen.
His youngest son, although not eting the requirents, once in the Imperial City, everything could be negotiated.
"Brother Yun, I can’t bear it, I have only one daughter and I surely want her by my side, so she can take care of when I’m older!"
Ye Yilan certainly saw through his intentions and imdiately refused.
....
The entire Youlan Association seed lively, but to Chen Xuan, it was sowhat awkward.
These people ca with full expectations, but after Ye Yilan laid out the three conditions, if it weren’t for the Mansion Master’s face, they would probably have left right away.
However, for him, he had good food and drink, and acquired quite a few Immortal Spirit Dates.
A big profit.
As the Youlan Association concluded, a maid ca up to him, gently saying, "Lord Xuan, Miss Su Yun will stay in the mansion tonight, tomorrow the lady will send soone to escort her back."
"Alright, I’ll co to pick her up tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, I will inform Miss Su Yun."
....
Chen Xuan left the City Lord’s Mansion together with Zhuge Potian, just as Chen Xuan was about to get onto the carriage to return, Zhuge Potian called him.
He invited Chen Xuan onto his carriage.
Feeling a bit curious, Chen Xuan walked over and boarded his carriage.
Inside, the two sat opposite each other.
"Lord, do you have any instructions?" Chen Xuan asked.
"How is it? Do you think the Mansion Master is being a bit outrageous?"
Zhuge Potian didn’t answer him, and instead asked.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xuan, though puzzled, nodded slightly. Such demands were beyond any qualifier within Youlan Mansion.
But Ye Yilan certainly must be aware of this.
Then why....
"The original requirents surely weren’t this high. Do you think Lord Mansion Master is foolish? It’s just..." He lowered his voice, "because soone from the Imperial City has taken a fancy to Ye Jincen, so I guess the Mansion Master raised the conditions temporarily."
"Soone from the Imperial City!"
Hearing him say this, it made sense.
"Yes, and to tell you another piece of news, Ye Jincen is a Spirit Cultivator with very high talent!"
"Spirit Cultivator?"
Chen Xuan feigned a surprised look.
But he had already guessed it in his heart; that glance on the day at Blue Moon Lake had revealed, though he didn’t know her exact Tier in Spirit Cultivation, it was definitely not low.
"How about it, surprised?"
Zhuge Potian asked proudly.
"Indeed! And Lord Mansion Master is also a Second-Grade Expert, no wonder soone from the Imperial City has their eyes on her."
"Of course, not only that, there is soone even stronger than Lord Mansion Master!"
The sches of these people were quite loud.
Back then Lord Mansion Master left the Imperial City to co to Youlan Mansion, just wanting to stay away from the Imperial City and live a relaxed life. Now these people are still thinking of marrying Ye Jincen; it doesn’t matter whether she agrees, even the Mansion Master wouldn’t agree.
The waters of the Imperial City are too deep and too murky.
"However, what you just said isn’t right, what do you an by saying there’s no one qualified in Youlan Mansion."
Zhuge Potian suddenly changed the topic, looking at him with a smile.
"My lord, you can’t an , can you?"
"Smart, unless it’s , of course, if the Mansion Master can relax the age requirent, I would be quite willing."
Zhuge Potian shalessly said.
"To be honest, my lord, I already have four won at ho, so I don’t have such thoughts."
Chen Xuan didn’t want to beco a son-in-law, but he couldn’t say it straight to his face, so he could only shift it to the won at ho.
"Foolish!"
"You are so outstanding, what’s wrong with having a few won? Lord Mansion Master has far more won than you, even I have over a dozen! You need to know that she is the Mansion Master’s daughter, different. If the Mansion Master was willing, I could divorce all my won right now!"
In his eyes, won were also divided into grades.
Ye Jincen, in his eyes, was the highest grade kind.
...
Chen Xuan didn’t let Zhuge Potian send him back to the mansion, he just got off the carriage a bit closer.
"Sigh!"
He sighed softly.
It seems today’s talk with Zhuge Potian was aiming for this.
He wanted him to beco the Mansion Master’s son-in-law.
"Is this considered an investnt?"
He shook his head, smiled slightly, and then walked towards his ho.
Suddenly,
Chen Xuan stopped in his tracks, alertly scanning his surroundings.
"Who... co out!"
He shouted, just feeling a slight spiritual power.
Could it be the Rebel Army? For the sake of Celestial Master Long?
"Your alertness is quite good." A voice ca from the distance, and monts later, a figure slowly appeared before Chen Xuan.
"This....."
Wasn’t he the white-robed middle-aged man from the Youlan Association?
"My lord, I wonder what business you have with ?"
Chen Xuan clasped his hands respectfully and said.
Knowing that he sat below Ye Yilan, clearly indicating his strength.
"Martial Dao Third-Grade, Spirit Cultivation Tier Seven! Haven’t seen a Spirit and Martial Dual Cultivator in a long ti." Xuan Er was a bit surprised at this mont, unexpectedly finding out he was also a Spirit Cultivator, truly extraordinary!
It seems he really obtained so sect’s inheritance.
"What?"
At once, Chen Xuan’s whole body hair stood on end, having his cultivation seen through with just a glance, and he even knew he was a Spirit Cultivator.
It was definitely Second Grade!
Because after reaching Third Grade, he concealed his aura, and at the sa level, one couldn’t see through his cultivation, just like how Feng Zheng didn’t show any surprise upon seeing him earlier.
If they could see his Third-Grade cultivation, their reaction would definitely not be like that.
"However..."
He reached out a finger, lightly tapped, a blue light shot out from the finger, but it wasn’t towards Chen Xuan, instead towards the air.
Murran!
An imnse pressure descended from the air, pressing heavily onto Chen Xuan.
"My lord!"
Chen Xuan roared, the golden blood within him surged like a roaring river. At the sa ti, the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique operated fully.
But even so, under this pressure, not only was he forced to bend over, even his knees started trembling.
In re monts, beads of sweat poured down.
"Oh, you can still endure, then... this!"
Xuan Er pointed a finger lightly again, instantly intensifying the blue light once more.
With a "bang," Chen Xuan was half-pressed into the ground.
At this mont, he felt sowhat desperate.
"Speak, where did you get your cultivation technique, including the spirit cultivation one?"
