"Smack!"
Chen Xuan slapped Ji Keren’s shapely bottom hard.
And shalessly gave it a squeeze.
Instantly, Ji Keren was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.
In broad daylight, she never expected him to make such an embarrassing move.
Feeling the burning sensation on her rear, her cheeks flushed red.
But feeling it still wasn’t enough, Chen Xuan chuckled evilly and threatened, "You should be thankful that the wine’s effects are a bit slow, otherwise... hehe!"
As he said this, he looked her up and down, this little fra... tsk tsk... still a Spirit Cultivator.
Based on his ferocity last night, she would’ve definitely been ruined.
"You..."
Ji Keren was truly dumbfounded, feeling as if she didn’t recognize Chen Xuan anymore, was this still the humble and gentle younger brother?
Truly shaless!
"? What about ! Hurry up, we’ll deal with this later!"
With that, he directly grabbed her delicate hand, heading towards the command tent.
Ji Keren wanted to break free, but as a Spirit Cultivator, she was no match for Chen Xuan, ultimately having to go along with him.
But as for Chen Xuan, he felt even more convinced in his heart.
This woman has an interest in him.
Otherwise, what decent woman invites you to dinner, drinking that kind of wine?
In hindsight, he shouldn’t have left in such a hurry; he could’ve taken action by force, oh no! It should’ve been a mutual consent.
However, just as they were nearing the command tent, Chen Xuan released Ji Keren’s hand.
Whew—
One could visibly see her breathe a sigh of relief.
Though his back was to her, the corners of Chen Xuan’s mouth turned up slightly.
Subsequently, the two entered the tent one after the other.
At this mont, there were at least thirty people inside the tent, each a prominent figure who could shake any place with a re stomp.
But now, they all stood there obediently.
Even brothers Bai Ze and Bai Qi were standing at the very front.
However, the command seat at the top was empty.
After greeting a few people from the four commanderies, Chen Xuan walked over to Feng Zheng’s side.
As for Ji Keren, she had also returned to normal but walked over to Chen Xuan’s side as well.
"Not here yet?"
Chen Xuan nudged Feng Zheng with his elbow and whispered.
But he just shook his head without speaking, though Ye Jincen turned and glanced at him but imdiately looked away upon seeing Ji Keren!
"Sick in the head!"
Chen Xuan cursed inwardly, others spoiled her, but he wouldn’t stand for such nonsense.
Just then, a shadowy figure appeared at the top.
"Here!"
Chen Xuan’s eyes sharpened; he was eager to see what "Tu Baiwan" was like.
As ti passed, the blurred figure grew more substantial.
"How can it be? It’s him!"
At this mont, Chen Xuan was stunned, his mouth agape in shock.
He had actually t Gu Xiu.
This was the middle-aged man in a white robe he encountered at the back mountain of Shuanggang Village, who taught him the palm-sucking technique.
Gu Xiu slowly sat down, his gaze sweeping over the crowd; upon seeing Chen Xuan, he noticeably paused before quickly returning to normal.
So that’s it!
He had sensed a familiar presence in the camp, unexpectedly it was this kid.
He initially thought it was so old acquaintance he was curious about; apparently, it was the palm-sucking technique he sensed.
"Bai Ze!"
Gu Xiu looked at him and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Yes, Marshal Gu! All the experts above the Third Grade in the camp are here," Bai Ze replied very respectfully.
"Life is truly unpredictable, like a sausage wrapped in another,"
reflecting on Bai Ze’s deanor, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Once a commander of an army, in such a short ti, he had lost his command seat and was now reduced to such subservience.
"Hmm!"
Gu Xiu nodded, then looked at the crowd again.
Wearing a faint smile, he slowly began, "Many of you may not know who I am, so let introduce myself: I am the Champion Marquis appointed by the forr emperor. To say that I have extraordinary achievents is no exaggeration. There are so many that I can’t rember them all, given my old age."
"However..."
Pausing there, the smile vanished, replaced by a piercing gaze that no one dared to et directly.
"The only thing I rember is having slaughtered a nation once!"
"Not many! Just a million!"
Hearing this, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts—a million! That’s not much!
Looking at Gu Xiu, their eyes were instantly filled with fear.
Even though Chen Xuan had known this, hearing it spoken so casually on the spot made his heart tremble slightly.
Gu Xiu’s gaze swept over the crowd, their fearful eyes reignited that passion within him.
"So I dislike people questioning my military orders. For those who do, I will not hesitate to erase them, regardless of who you are or what your background is! Rember that, and don’t say I, Gu Xiu, am cruel!"
"Yes, Marshal Gu!"
At this mont, everyone bowed respectfully and responded.
Even the people from the four commanderies were very respectful at this point; regarding Bai Ze, they were indifferent as long as they could muddle through.
But as for Gu Xiu!
They couldn’t, and didn’t dare!
Many elders in their families were once his subordinates, so they couldn’t!
And they knew his ruthlessness, so they didn’t dare!
"Hmm!" Gu Xiu nodded in satisfaction and then began to issue military orders.
"The four commanderies will lead the army to a kiloter outside Celestial Water Commandery and seal off the four city gates for !"
"Since the rebel army has a Turtle Array, let it be a turtle then."
"Yes, Marshal Gu!"
Hongtu, Jiang Ke, Ghost Crane, and Ou Yezi responded in unison.
"The two of you go with the four commanderies and be ready to support each city gate at any ti."
Gu Xiu looked at the Bai Ze brothers.
"Yes, Marshal Gu!"
The two imdiately accepted the order.
"Alright, you all go, Spirit Cultivators stay behind!"
The Martial Cultivators present began to leave the tent one after another.
Feng Zheng was also preparing to leave, but when he saw Chen Xuan standing still, he hurriedly signaled him, urging him to leave quickly.
At this mont, Chen Xuan was also conflicted about whether to stay or go.
Ye Jincen and Ji Keren were the only ones who knew he was a Spirit Cultivator.
He didn’t know if Gu Xiu had noticed.
Just as he decided to leave first and took a step,
Gu Xiu spoke up, "Where are you going, you brat? Aren’t you a Spirit Cultivator? Stay here!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan quickly withdrew his step and obediently stood still.
anwhile, Bai Ze, who had already reached the entrance of the tent, turned back to look at him, frowning.
He didn’t expect that Chen Xuan was also a Spirit Cultivator.
Could he really be just as monstrous as Xuan Er!
But then he withdrew his gaze and left the tent.
A mont later, only Chen Xuan, Ye Jincen, Ji Keren, and Gu Xiu were left in the tent.
"Ye Jincen!"
Gu Xiu looked at her, a smile appearing on his face once more, "So young and already a Tier Three Spirit Cultivator, Xiaoyezi is quite lucky."
"Xiaoyezi! Haha!"
Chen Xuan didn’t expect that the dignified Mansion Master Youlan was now called Xiaoyezi.
If he weren’t afraid, he would have laughed out loud at this mont.
"Greetings, Lord Gu Xiu!"
Ye Jincen bowed in salute, displaying extre respect.
"Father often ntions you, my lord. Without your guidance, he says he wouldn’t have had the chance to beco Second Grade!"
"Hahaha...."
Gu Xiu chuckled lightly, "That boy, still as talkative as when he was just a youngster."
But what Ye Yilan said wasn’t wrong; if it weren’t for Gu Xiu’s guidance back then, he might not have achieved what he has now.
He then turned his gaze to Ji Keren.
Before he could speak, Ji Keren smiled and saluted, "Keren, greetings to Grandpa Gu!"
"Alright, your father was my old subordinate, and I held you when you were born, no need for the formality."
"Also, you’re not young anymore, it’s ti to find soone."
"Grandpa Gu!" Ji Keren was filled with bashfulness, being urged to marry in public, only Gu Xiu could do it; if it were her father, she’d have turned hostile instantly.
"Hahaha.... Alright, alright, Grandpa is just concerned about you!"
These two were the descendants of his subordinates back in the day, and being familiar acquaintances, his mood improved considerably.
If it weren’t for the irresistible conditions offered by Xia Yi, he wouldn’t want to take up this absurd position as Marshal Gu.
Yet Chen Xuan felt strange hearing Ji Keren call him Grandpa Gu, as Gu Xiu looked like he was only in his thirties; it felt too theatrical.
"But the one who surprises the most is you, kid."
At this mont, Gu Xiu looked at Chen Xuan, sizing him up. He didn’t expect that the little hunter from years ago had now beco a Third Grade expert and a Tier Four Spirit Cultivator.
It truly surprised him.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Chen Xuan bowed respectfully, "Thank you, my lord, for bestowing the Palm of Absorption that year, from which I benefited greatly."
"Hmm?"
Ji Keren exclaid softly, "Grandpa Gu, you know each other?"
Even Ye Jincen felt surprised; she didn’t expect that Gu Xiu actually knew Chen Xuan.
"Back then he was just a little hunter and I took a liking to the White Spirit Fox in his hands, so I compensated him."
Gu Xiu spoke slowly, at the first mont he saw Chen Xuan, he thought he was seeing things.
At this mont, Chen Xuan was drenched in sweat, recalling the past, feeling like an idiot for asking sothing from a man who had slaughtered millions, truly digging his own grave!
"But I feel your Palm of Absorption seems a bit different?"
Being a dual First Grade, Gu Xiu had a very keen sense, let alone that the Palm of Absorption was his own creation.
After a slight sense, he felt sothing unusual.
"Yes, my lord, I had so insights and made so modifications to the Palm of Absorption."
"Oh?"
Gu Xiu dragged the word, imdiately showing interest, even though he casually created the Palm of Absorption, but at the ti, he was also a First Grade Spirit Cultivator.
This kid, just a re Tier Four Spirit Cultivator, could actually alter it on his foundation.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe it; it was just too unbelievable.
"Let see!"
Gu Xiu spoke, and of course, Chen Xuan dared not refuse, so he imdiately perford the Eight Directions of the Nether Realm! However, he controlled the range, intentionally avoiding the two won.
