"Using these two words in the capacity of Chief Eunuch... to put it bluntly, there’s sothing to ask."
Faced with his analysis, Chen Xuan pondered for a mont, then slowly nodded his head.
"I wonder what it could be?"
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
Moreover, if Liu Sheng were to ask, he really couldn’t refuse, considering the many tis he’d helped him before, not to ntion delivering the winged dragon beast. For that alone, as long as it didn’t touch on matters of principle, he couldn’t possibly say no.
"Alright, you’ll know when the ti cos."
He was carefree about it and decided not to dwell on what he couldn’t figure out.
Then he turned to Qin Ke, "Co on, it’s just ti for a al; accompany your master for a few drinks."
"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."
He knew Chen Xuan’s character, never one for empty pleasantries, and if he didn’t go, Chen Xuan would actually be upset.
...
Night!
Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Xuan was unusually fierce, which truly exhausted Lan ng’Er.
In the end, helplessly, she resolved it herself.
Rubbing her sowhat sore jaw, Lan ng’Er glared at him.
It almost killed her.
Just now, her throat almost got blocked; she really almost couldn’t catch her breath.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"It’s alright."
He was indeed satisfied, but that was more about her attitude and intentions.
As for feeling full?... Of course, he wasn’t; usually, it was several won taking turns, how could she possibly handle him alone!
"Hmph!"
Lan ng’Er wrinkled her delicate nose in dissatisfaction.
"Very satisfied. Now, are you satisfied?"
Chen Xuan slapped her perky hip.
"Ouch..."
Lan ng’Er looked at him seductively; there was a burning sensation there, his hand was neither gentle nor light.
"Hahaha..."
Chen Xuanyuan laughed heartily, then tightened his arm around her, "I, as your husband, will head to the Imperial City tomorrow."
"Are you going alone?"
....
The next day!
In the space rift, Chen Xuan watched Xiaoqi sweating profusely, laughing with a lack of propriety.
Last night, when Lan ng’Er asked him, he thought of bringing Xiaoqi along.
Consider it a chance for him to see the world.
But along the way, it was truly comfortable for him to make Xiaoqi use his divine footwork to carry him and still withstand the pressure of the space rift.
Not much... just a few steps, not even ten thousand miles, and he ended up like this.
"I can’t take it anymore!"
Xiaoqi cried out, truly unable to bear it.
"Bang!"
The two erged from the space rift.
"Huff huff huff..."
Xiaoqi gasped for air; even though he was in the Dao Realm, with strength comparable to the second rank, carrying Chen Xuan while using his divine footwork was imnsely stressful for him.
"Dad..."
Once he caught his breath a bit, he looked up at Chen Xuan, his little face full of dissatisfaction.
"Didn’t your teacher always say that when you need to use your knowledge, you find you don’t have enough? Think about it: achieving a Realm Breakthrough Dao Realm is nothing to get so arrogant about."
"Even when cultivating, you’re absent-minded."
Chen Xuan said sternly, admonishing him.
"I... I...."
Xiaoqi grew anxious, wanting to argue back, but when he saw Chen Xuan’s stern gaze, he was startled, pursing his lips and not daring to say another word.
He knew that Dad was truly angry.
"I was wrong!"
Xiaoqi slightly raised his head, looking at Chen Xuan with fear.
"And what was your mistake?"
Clearly, Chen Xuan wasn’t planning to let him off easily.
Saying a thousand words wouldn’t be as aningful as recognizing his mistake himself.
"Xiaoqi was too arrogant."
His voice was as soft as a mosquito; although he knew he was wrong, he still wanted to save face.
"As long as you know."
Chen Xuan couldn’t bear to reprimand him any further, so he took his hand and stepped into the space rift.
"Watch carefully, learn well."
"Divine footwork isn’t used like that."
In the infinite space, Chen Xuan said lightly.
"Yes!"
Xiaoqi quickly replied, attentively observing.
Compared to him, Chen Xuan’s divine footwork was more subtle, and the pressure he endured was significantly less.
This wasn’t about strength but entirely about insight into the divine footwork. Xiaoqi was lacking in this aspect.
...
At sunset.
A large and small figure arrived at the East Gate of the Imperial City.
After showing their identity token, the two smoothly entered the Imperial City and then hired a carriage to head to the Ritual Departnt.
Inside the carriage.
Xiaoqi had his eyes closed tightly; that day, he had gained much insight and was now digesting it.
Gradually, a weak spatial fluctuation emanated from his body.
Noticing this, Chen Xuan waved his hand, imdiately concealing the fluctuation.
However, he looked at Xiaoqi with comfort in his eyes; his talent was indeed astonishing, but he was too young, with a temperant that lacked maturity.
"I should find him a good teacher for proper guidance."
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
Both he and the other few won had pampered Xiaoqi too much, and even when he slacked off, they couldn’t bear to reprimand him.
This had also led to him slackening off as soon as he made so progress.
"Who should I find?"
Chen Xuan rubbed his forehead; this was really troubling him.
Yao’Er would be the most suitable.
But she didn’t have ti!
While he was lost in thought, the carriage ca to a stop.
"Mister, we’re at the Ritual Departnt."
"Hmm!" Chen Xuan said plainly.
Then he patted Xiaoqi, "Wake up."
He slowly opened his eyes, "Dad, we’re here, right?"
"Hmm!"
"Get off the carriage; shortly we’ll be eting a very powerful elder, so be polite."
"Got it, Dad."
The two got off the carriage one after the other. After Chen Xuan paid the silver, he held Xiaoqi’s hand and told the guard at the Ritual Departnt, "Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion, here to see Chief Eunuch Liu, please announce us."
"Lord Xuan King, please enter; the Chief Eunuch has already given instructions."
"Hmm—"
Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, suddenly feeling that this visit might not be so straightforward after all, especially since even such a small matter had been arranged in advance.
