"That may not necessarily be the case."
Gu Xiu’s words left Ye Yilan quite surprised.
This notorious figure who had once slaughtered millions, unexpectedly said sothing like this.
"Surprised?"
Gu Xiu, seeing his confused look, gave a faint smile.
"Don’t think the rebel army is that simple. So of those sects have been around for thousands of years. If it were really that simple, would Xia Yi have spent over twenty years without completely eradicating them?"
In fact, if it weren’t for leveraging the national fortune of Great Xia back then, who knows who would have died in the end!
However, he did admire Xia Yi in his heart. Just ascending the throne, when things were still unstable, he dared to eradicate all the sects of Great Xia. Just for this, the forr emperor wasn’t his match.
After all, the forr emperor had thought about this issue too. Those major sects were too powerful, posing a great threat to Great Xia, and he had discussed it with him.
But ultimately, he felt the risk was too great and gave up the idea.
"So, you an that although many from those sects seed to have died back then, actually, their elite core didn’t suffer much loss?"
Previously, Xuan Er had ntioned to him about encountering sect experts while wandering the Nine Provinces, but he hadn’t paid much attention, as having a few slip through the cracks was normal.
But listening to him now, it seems... perhaps the entire effort to eradicate the sects by His Majesty wasn’t as effective as supposed.
"That’s not it either. Quite a few did die, and besides, didn’t they seize a lot of resources? Overall, it wasn’t a loss, right?"
However....
The events of the past also led to the current situation, considered a cycle of cause and effect.
So, whether eradicating the sects back then was good or bad, Gu Xiu couldn’t definitively say.
Maybe Xia Yi’s perspective was simply different.
Murran,
Xuan Er’s figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
"t Elder Gu."
Xuan Er slightly bowed his body, holding great respect in his heart for this elder.
If it hadn’t been for his words back then, just relying on Ye Yilan’s plea, Xia Yi wouldn’t have spared him.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Seeing Xuan Er, Gu Xiu applauded and said, "Martial Cultivation First Grade, Spirit Cultivation First Grade! Indeed a once-in-a-century genius of the Divine Movent Sect."
"Elder’s praise is undeserved,"
He, Xuan Er, was indeed a genius, but compared to Gu Xiu, he still fell short, and this he understood clearly.
"Alright, I shall take my leave. I’m rely passing by this ti, just to see you guys. There are still many ssy matters waiting for to handle at the front line."
While speaking, Gu Xiu stood up.
At this ti, Xuan Er spoke, "Does Elder need my assistance?"
Of course, he said this not because he worried that Gu Xiu would be defeated by the rebel army, but simply to repay the favor of the past.
"Indeed, does Lord want to go as well?"
Ye Yilan hurriedly asked.
"No need, besides, don’t you have a disciple on the front line? Also..." he looked at Ye Yilan, "isn’t your daughter there too!"
"I’m off!"
As soon as these words fell, Gu Xiu began to dissolve, and in a blink, he vanished from the hall.
...
Great Xia Camp.
At this mont, Chen Xuan and Ji Keren sat opposite each other.
Five small dishes were neatly laid on the small table.
Ji Keren slowly stood up, personally pouring him a cup of wine, then pouring herself one. She raised her glass and said, "Thank you, little brother, for saving that day. Today, these small dishes are prepared by your sister personally. Although they’re just ordinary wild foods, it’s a token of your sister’s heart. I hope you don’t mind it."
"Elder sister drinks first as a sign of respect! Thank you."
She slightly tilted her head back, revealing her fair and slender neck. Coupled with the snug purple robe enveloping her curves, it was elegant yet charming.
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
After Ji Keren finished her drink, she inverted her glass.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan also picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp!
He said with a smile, "Elder sister, you’re quite courteous. After all, I’m the younger brother, and this little thing is what I should do."
"But sister doesn’t think this is a small matter."
Speaking, Ji Keren filled his cup again, and personally placed so food into his bowl.
Her service was extrely attentive.
Making Chen Xuan feel a bit embarrassed, he quickly said, "Sister Ji, I can handle it myself."
"Is little brother displeased?"
Ji Keren said with a coy sulking tone, looking at him with dissatisfaction.
Uh....
"Then, I’ll leave it to sister."
Since that was the case, he didn’t hold back. Besides, having such a beauty personally attend to him was indeed pleasant.
...
Inside the tent, Ye Jincen opened her eyes.
Today, no matter what, she couldn’t calm her mind to cultivate, instead feeling restless inside.
Absentmindedly looking at the spot where Chen Xuan usually sat, now empty.
Her heart felt a sense of emptiness.
It was the first ti she had felt like this.
"Tap tap tap...."
At this mont, footsteps ca from outside; she didn’t need to sense them to know Chen Xuan was back.
However, as the footsteps grew nearer, Ye Jincen’s heart suddenly raced.
Until sensing he was at the tent’s entrance, she forcibly closed her eyes.
With a blush on his face, Chen Xuan entered the tent, and upon seeing Ye Jincen cultivating as usual, he didn’t think much of it and went directly to his usual spot and sat down.
"That woman’s wine is truly strong."
Chen Xuan felt dizzy; he was at the peak of Third Grade now.
Unexpectedly, he still felt tipsy.
Then, he slowly began to practice the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique when suddenly, sothing felt off.
"Thump thump thump...."
His heart suddenly started to race rapidly.
"What is this....?"
At this mont, he was no longer the little hunter he once was. The Third Grade Organ Refinent ant condensing the heart, which was the final step to transcend the mortal flesh.
These days, the organ refinent was already 95% complete.
Looking at the situation now, is it about to be finished?
He thought to himself, with his strength he could actually feel intoxicated, it seed Ji Keren’s wine was indeed the most potent of tonics.
Directly increasing the progress of his organ refinent by 5%.
About an hour later, the intoxication faded, and Chen Xuan’s complexion returned to normal.
Murran opened his eyes.
"System!"
Instantly, a glittering golden panel appeared before his eyes.
[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Third Grade (Perfect), Spirit Cultivator: Fourth Rank]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Integration (36100/100000))]
"As expected!"
He thought to himself.
The Third Grade was perfected, and not only that, even the progress of the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Integration) had increased by several thousand.
"What on earth did this woman put in her wine, it’s so ferocious!"
At this mont, he suddenly lowered his head.
His brother raised the flag, making him uncomfortable.
Originally, he didn’t plan to return to Youlan Mansion today, but given the situation now, he had no choice but to go back.
"I’m going back for a bit."
Without waiting for Ye Jincen to speak, he imdiately used Divine Movent to leave the tent, rushing ho like a madman.
It wasn’t that he was in a hurry, but the dicine was too strong, making him uncomfortable.
...
Upon seeing the late-night return of Chen Xuan, the won were, of course, pleasantly surprised.
After all, with the ongoing battles at the front line, his visits ho were becoming increasingly infrequent.
But they never would have thought that tonight, Chen Xuan seed like stockpiled goods for decades, seeing won for the first ti, and his gaze seed to devour them.
The result... was obvious.
Routed!
Even so, Chen Xuan still looked unsatisfied.
Until he left the Chen Mansion.
On the bed, the won still had lingering fear.
And Su Yun even spoke, "Sister, should we find a few more for Brother Xuan, we can’t take it."
Yue Nan: "Yes!"
Liu Rushi: "We do need to find a few more!"
Su Wanqiu: "Then let’s do it, so our sisters can have it a little easier!"
At this mont, for the first ti, the four won finally huddled together for warmth.
...
In the Great Xia Camp.
Chen Xuan suddenly appeared in Ye Jincen’s tent.
"Hmph!"
A random cold snort, that starry gaze still staring at him, but the face remained icy.
Uh...
What’s the aning of this?
Chen Xuan was becoming more and more unable to understand this woman, he didn’t offend her, why give him an attitude!
But he wasn’t the type to curry favor uninvited, so he sat cross-legged and started cultivating on his own.
Just like that, after about three hours.
Feng Zheng entered, his expression serious, "Gu Xiu has arrived, and now all experts above Third Grade in the army are to head to the command tent!"
"Finally here!"
Chen Xuan stopped cultivating, and he was quite curious about what kind of person could slaughter a million people, so ruthless!
Simply inhumane.
At this ti, Ye Jincen was the first to leave the tent, avoiding looking at him.
"Why does this woman seem to be sulking!"
Chen Xuan muttered in his heart.
But Feng Zheng looked at him and laughed heh-heh.
"Ah Feng, don’t be like that. Our village’s Da Huang smiles just like you!"
"Who is Da Huang?"
"The Village Guardian of our village, the brain is fine, just that he’s a bit silly."
"You..."
Feng Zheng was furious, hinting that he’s a fool.
"Hmph...."
A cold snort in his heart, not sure who’s the fool!
"Let’s go, don’t be unhappy being called stupid, and quickly go, aren’t you afraid of angering this massacre of a million, afraid of....." Making a neck-slashing gesture at him.
"Scram scram scram scram....."
Feng Zheng cursed, then left him and headed to the command tent.
"You know about this and yet you were slow."
At this ti, a crisp and tingling voice ca from behind, and even without sensing, Chen Xuan knew it was Ji Keren.
Turning his body, looking at her still in a purple robe, he glared at her fiercely, "It’s your doing!"
"Hehe...."
Ji Keren wasn’t angry, instead, she giggled, bending over in laughter.
Chen Xuan was really worried that her fullness would fall off.
"Hmph...." Ji Keren seeing him like this, didn’t say a word, deliberately straightened her narrow waist, walked over with small steps, gave him a charming glance, "Your little brother is really thankless, sister put several nearly thousand-year-old elixirs in that wine, it was hard for sister to get, not thanking is one thing, but this.... sister is not happy!"
Ji Keren feigned a very aggrieved expression.
A look like if you don’t apologize, she’ll cry for you.
But he greatly underestimated Chen Xuan’s is face.
