Even though he was in the Late-Stage Xuan Rank, he still felt like he was about to burst.
If he hadn’t improved his Spirit Cultivator level, the consequence... bang! A loud noise.
Exploded!
"Cultivate!"
...
"Husband has been in seclusion longer than usual this ti."
Luan Ying sat in the grass, plucking petals from a flower, yet her gaze was on the room where Chen Xuan was cultivating.
"Is Third Lady missing father?"
Xiaoqi descended from the sky on a golden dragon, sitting beside her.
At nearly three years old, he was already like a little adult.
"What does a little brat like you know! Did you study well today?"
Luan Ying glared at him, as the boy grew older, he beca more mischievous.
"Of course, I studied well. The teacher even praised for being smart!"
Xiaoqi proudly lifted his head.
"Your cultivation speed has slowed down quite a bit!"
After all this ti, he was still at the Early-Stage Immortal Grade. Given his talent, there could be only one explanation, he’s been slacking off!
"It’s okay..."
Xiaoqi forced a smile but looked a bit fearful in Luan Ying’s eyes.
Despite their mothers’ usual doting, they were extrely strict when it ca to cultivation and studying.
"Break through the realm within a month, or when your father cos out of seclusion, he’ll definitely give you a beating."
"Ah..."
Xiaoqi’s smile disappeared instantly, and he hung his head.
He lowered his head, unhappily pulling at the grass, looking aggrieved, "Cultivation is so tiring, I want to play...."
"Don’t try that trick, if you don’t want a beating, cultivate properly."
Luan Ying glanced at him and said calmly.
This boy had beco quite the actor. At first, she would soften her heart, but as it happened more, she finally understood.
Besides, before going into seclusion, Chen Xuan specifically instructed them not to soften their hearts.
If he doesn’t listen, give him a spanking.
A childhood without a spanking is incomplete.
"Got it, Third Lady."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Xiaoqi could only sigh helplessly.
"Why isn’t it working?"
"Books didn’t say it like this!"
He raised his head, looking at the blue sky, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
...
Three Judicial Departnts, main hall.
Ye Jinghong sat at the top, his gaze falling on the white-robed middle-aged man seated below.
"I didn’t expect it to be you this ti."
Today, Great Yu finally sent soone to set up an Array.
The person was none other than his friend, Shen Xuan, a Daoist Rank Spirit Cultivator.
"There’s no choice, this Array requires a Daoist Rank to arrange, you know there aren’t many Daoist Ranks, and they all have to oversee different areas. I... happened to return to the Imperial City recently, and this task fell on ."
Shen Xuan shrugged, showing a helpless expression, appearing as if he really didn’t want to take on this task.
"Heh!"
Ye Jinghong chuckled lightly.
Does he not know what kind of person Shen Xuan is? He wouldn’t do anything without benefit, and there are few Daoist Ranks in Great Yu.
Each one is a treasure.
If he didn’t want to, he could find countless reasons.
Once when he was needed to oversee an area, he acted injured to avoid going.
In the end, even the Three Dukes had no choice.
Had to replace him.
After all, what use is sending an injured waste?
He often did these things, but his Spirit Cultivation talent was absurdly strong. He’s only a century old and already at the Daoist Rank.
This validates the saying: with strength and talent, one can do as they please.
Ye Jinghong envied Shen Xuan greatly.
"What are you laughing at, I’ve co to your turf now, better treat well."
Instantly, Ye Jinghong’s face turned grim.
Because Shen Xuan’s hobbies are few, only indulging in eating, drinking, won, and gambling.
He insisted on the best food and was extrely picky; if he wasn’t satisfied, he wouldn’t eat it.
Wine too, it must be the best.
Gambling... in a small place like Moran City, he likely wasn’t interested.
As for won... the most important item, they had to be beauties, top-notch ones. He was extrely domineering about this, wanting any he fancied, regardless of whether they were taken or not.
He had offended quite a few people for this.
But... because of the Shen Family and his own talent, even those whose won were taken by him could only swallow their grievances.
Of course, he wasn’t stupid. Even when taking, he conducted thorough investigations first.
So far, he hadn’t provoked any major figures.
"Got it!"
"You’ve just arrived in Moran City, I’ll handle everything. You set up the Array quickly."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan imdiately beca displeased.
"Are you trying to drive away?"
"Where’s your conscience?"
"Back in the Imperial City, I was the one who taught you the ropes."
"Now that I’m finally on your turf, you want to work before enjoying myself? I refuse!"
The more he spoke, the more agitated he beca, finally flicking his sleeve and glaring at him.
"Don’t like it, get lost, it’s not like I asked you to co."
Ye Jinghong wasn’t accommodating him, glaring back.
This guy’s a troublemaker, the sooner he leaves, the more at peace he’ll be.
"Bah!"
"The more you want gone, the more I won’t leave. I’m telling you, if you don’t serve well, I definitely won’t leave Molan Mansion!"
"And the Array, I won’t set it up either."
With that, he tilted his head, simply ignoring him.
"Screw your uncle."
Ye Jinghong couldn’t hold it any longer and cursed out loud.
"You know who my uncle is, are you sure you want to curse him?"
At this point, Shen Xuan turned his head, looking at him with a sly smile.
"Uh—"
A single sentence shut Ye Jinghong up.
Because his uncle was none other than the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guard, a truly powerful figure in the Imperial City.
More importantly... extrely strong.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing him choke, Shen Xuan laughed heartily.
The Shen Family was among the top five families in the Imperial City. To put it bluntly, none of his relatives was soone Ye Jinghong could insult.
"Alright, alright, I won’t cause you trouble."
"I promise!"
"Now you can be at ease."
He knew his own disposition well.
He also understood what his friend worried about.
"Really?"
Ye Jinghong was sowhat skeptical of his words.
"Yes, really!"
"But... the prerequisite is to treat well!"
