Chapter 96: It’s Him

Chen Yi smiled, stood up, and walked towards the two.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan subtly glanced at Shen Xu.

At the same time, he casually took his wife’s hand, ready to escape at a moment’s notice.

However, Chen Yi didn’t attack.

Instead, he looked at Zhen Yuan with a curious expression.

"It’s you." He stated and nodded as if to affirm his guess.

"What does this..." Zhen Yuan started but frowned without completing the sentence.

From a young age, Zhen Yuan noticed he couldn’t refer to other cultivators as ’senior’ or such words that put him in a lower or equal position to others.

Because of this, it was often difficult to address the people he encountered.

At this time, it was appropriate to refer to the black-clothed man as a ’senior’ but Zhen Yuan couldn’t say it.

’How troublesome.’ He thought.

"What does this fellow Taoist mean?" Zhen Yuan finally said.

’Fellow Daoist?’ Chen Yi was surprised and his eyes subconsciously narrowed.

’He probably can’t see my cultivation realm but he should be able to feel I am stronger than him. Why does he call me a fellow Taoist?’

[Brother Yuan, has this person figured it out? How?] Shen Xu secretly transmitted.

[Can he see your cultivation level.]

[He can’t.] Zhen Yuan confidently answered and soon continued.

[Maybe I did something to give myself away.]

[Don’t admit it. Let’s struggle for a while longer.]

[Good.]

"Elder..." Shen Xu started, realised he didn’t know the person’s name, but continued anyway.

"Is there something about my husband?" Shen Xu asked.

"He is the person who threatened young master Jiang." Chen Yi stated, his eyes narrowed into slits.

However, Shen Xu didn’t abandon his role.

When he heard the person’s words, a shocked look appeared on his face.

A moment later, he looked at Dongfang Jing and then turned to Zhen Yuan.

Soon after, the double burst into laugher and looked at Chen Yi with mirth-filled eyes.

"My brother Yuan is only an early-stage foundation establishment realm cultivator. How can he threaten a peak-stage golden core realm cultivator? Also, why would he threaten the academy dean?"

Seeing this performance, Zhen Yuan was full of praise.

’My Xiaoxu is so dedicated and talented.’ He thought.

Unfortunately, Chen Yi didn’t eat this set and Dongfang Jing believed in his guard.

"Chen Yi, what’s going on?" Dongfang Jing asked and Chen Yi pointed at Zhen Yuan.

"He is the person you are looking."

When he heard this, Dongfang Jing stared at Zhen Yuan with an incredulous look.

"Him? Are you sure?"

"It’s him."

[Why is he so sure?] Shen Xu couldn’t help but panic.

[It’s strange.] Zhen Yuan frowned.

He originally thought he subconsciously did something to arouse the opponent’s suspicion.

However, Zhen Yuan couldn’t think of what he did.

Most importantly, the other person was too confident which was a little unreasonable.

’Did I accidentally leak my aura?’ Zhen Yuan wondered but soon dismissed that idea.

He had been on guard since he saw the black-clothed man.

As a result, he kept a tight rein on himself and was unusually vigilant.

[Brother Yuan, what should we do?]

[Don’t panic.] Zhen Yuan said and soon continued.

[We will act separately if something goes wrong. You will enter the space and I will teleport out of here. When I arrive at a safe place, I will enter the space and take you out.]

[No.] Shen Xu immediately refused the plan.

[Xiaoxu...] Zhen Yuan called but Shen Xu interrupted him.

[I have a better plan.] The double said.

[What plan?]

[If something goes wrong, you will be responsible for blocking attacks and I will be responsible for activating a teleportation formation disk. What do you think?]

[I...]

[It’s decided then.] Shen Xu said and secretly removed a palm-sized teleportation formation disk from his space ring.

Unfortunately, Chen Yi’s cultivation was several realms higher than Shen Xu’s.

Although the double didn’t make any big movements, Chen Yi noticed.

However, he didn’t say anything but instead looked at Dongfang Jing.

"Your name is..." Donfang Jing started, looking at Zhen Yuan.

"Zhen Yuan." Zhen Yuan answered.

"Student Zhen Yuan, what is your cultivation level?" Dongfang Jing asked but Zhen Yuan didn’t answer.

Instead, he sighed, titled his head and looked at the academy dean.

"Does the academy dean want to take revenge?" He asked.

When Dongfang Jing heard this, his eyes widened and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

’Is it really him?’ He wondered.

’How come?’

There were pills and talismans that could disguise bone age in the Tianxuan continent.

However, such resources were not available in the Canglan continent.

Considering that, Zhen Yuan’s current bone age was his true bone age!

But how was that possible?

How could the Canglan continent produce such a talent?

Not only was the seventeen-year-old a golden core realm cultivator, but he was also a level three talisman master and inscription master.

’Was the world always so abnormal?’ He wondered but soon regained his composure.

"Is student Zhen Yuan associated with any big families or forces?" Dongfang Jing unexpectedly asked.

When they heard this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were momentarily disoriented.

[Does he want to know if someone will avenge us if we die?] Shen Xu wondered with a confused expression.

[I don’t think it’s that.] Zhen Yuan said.

After all, the black-clothed cultivator didn’t need to be afraid of anyone in the Canglan continent.

[Wait...] Shen Xu was suddenly enlightened.

[What’s the matter?]

[Remember what Song Wancheng said? Maybe Dongfang Jing wants you to join his Dongfang family. This is a recruitment.]

[It’s possible but...] Zhen Yuan was not convinced.

After all, Dongfang Jing didn’t know his identity when he invited Shen Xu.

Although the academy dean may now want to recruit him, this was not his original purpose.

[We can’t join the ill-fated Dongfang family.] Shen Xu urgently reminded.

[I know. Don’t worry.] Zhen Yuan smiled but his expression soon turned solemn.

A moment later, he turned to Dongfang Jing and spoke.
