Chapter 659: Chapter 418 Send Off

The Sacred Heavenly Instrument, it can sense the locations of the Saint Heirs and Saintesses through the Celestial Fates Divine Soul, a type of spiritual artifact.

During normal times, it was used to prevent the unexpected disappearances of the Saint Heirs and Saintesses, ensuring their safety as they traveled the world.

But when the time came for the ceremony for the newly anointed Pavilion Master to take place, the Sacred Heavenly Instrument became a lethal tool to send the other Saint Heirs and Saintesses to the heavenly sacrifice.

After practicing the Yantian Art, hardly any of these Saint Heirs and Saintesses were easy to deal with. Even though the selection of the new Pavilion Master would be announced at the very last moment, there were still occasions when a Saintess or Saint Heir would flee before the successor was officially inaugurated, eluding the Pavilion Master’s deduction through the Yantian Art.

After all, no one wants to die.

And at such times, the capacity of the Sacred Heavenly Instrument to lock onto their positions became the harbinger of doom.

Flashes of information about the Sacred Heavenly Instrument crossed Xu Yuan’s mind, and his eyes revealed a hint of solemnity.

What does the presence of the Sacred Heavenly Instrument in this place mean?

To find Tianyan?

Xu Yuan thought this was unlikely.

After all, as the envoy dispatched by the Jiatiange to the Dayan Dynasty, Tianyan’s whereabouts might be unknown to others, but the high echelons of the Jiatiange would surely have a grasp on it.

Moreover,

Tianyan had once told him,

that the transfer of her Celestial Fates Divine Soul to him had been approved by her master.

Combining the two, a somewhat ridiculous notion flashed through his mind instantly.

To assassinate him...

A strange look peaked in Xu Yuan’s eyes.

Had Jiatiange gone mad?

At this critical juncture, they wanted to assassinate him?

The current situation in the entire world was like a powder keg. At present, Jiatiange had only just emerged; the various powers atop the vast territory of Dayan had no time to bother with them.

If they suddenly came to assassinate him now, wouldn’t that be like jumping into the powder keg?

Amid the myriad of doubts in his mind, Xu Yuan suddenly realized something.

Jiatiange didn’t know he could detect the Sacred Heavenly Instrument.

With this thought, his line of reasoning became crystal clear.

Having put himself in their shoes for a moment, Xu Yuan’s mind instantly constructed a plan regarding Jiatiange.

For Jiatiange to assassinate him at this moment would be all gain and no loss.

Firstly, the dark beginnings of the grand catastrophe that engulfed the world would be erased.

Secondly, the heir of the Prime Minister’s Mansion would disappear.

Thirdly, under the pretext of falsely accusing and framing, with Li Zhaoyuan as a "shining example," given the current situation, the Prime Minister’s Mansion would inevitably point the finger at the Imperial Family—they could only point at them.

Fourthly...

Xu Yuan looked again at the young girl by his side.

If he were gone, the Saintess Tianyan’s affection for him might naturally fade with time...

However, it was a pity that Jiatiange’s entire scheme had been unraveled by him from the very start.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan silently manipulated his spiritual vision to wrap around that strand of Energy Mechanism that descended from the heavens...

And the moment he made contact,

a shattering ’crack’ resounded within his spiritual perception.

The person manipulating the Sacred Heavenly Instrument withdrew.

Having done this, under Tianyan’s questioning gaze, Xu Yuan slowly seated himself back at the tea table and poured himself a drink without saying a word.

The cultivation level of the person controlling the Sacred Heavenly Instrument must be at least at the level of Transcendent Mortal Cultivation, and up from there,

if they’re using a cleaver to kill a chicken, it might even mean that other powerhouses have come along.

Xu Yuan had previously considered pretending ignorance, using this opportunity to deal Jiatiange a heavy blow.

He could use the Tianxun Crystal Orb from the Imperial Capital to call people here, slaughtering these powerhouses of Jiatiange on the spot, which would somewhat cripple Jiatiange.

But after some thought, Xu Yuan still abandoned this idea.

Sipping the fragrant tea in the porcelain cup, feeling the sweetness and slight bitterness spreading on his taste buds, he sighed softly.

To annihilate these powerhouses in a satisfying act of revenge would be thrilling, but he couldn’t do it.

As the sole recognized heir within the Prime Minister’s Mansion, every action he took affected the lives and deaths of many.

If he did so, the Prime Minister’s Mansion would be irreversibly at odds with Jiatiange.

Given the current situation in the Dayan court, although the Prime Minister’s Mansion was powerful, so were the Imperial Family and the Sects. It was best not to push Jiatiange, who were currently neutral, to the enemy’s side.

The best choice was to make them reconsider and retreat.

"Xu Yuan... what’s wrong?"

A cautious voice came from his side.

Xu Yuan looked back.

Unbeknownst to him, Tianyan had quietly approached, her beautiful golden pupils shimmering with concern as they fixed on him.

A warmth spread through his heart, but Xu Yuan immediately felt a flash of complexity within.

If Lou Ji found out about this, Tianyan would most likely be treated directly as a hostage.

Position...

His fist clenched slightly, and Xu Yuan chuckled:

"I’m in a bit of a bad mood."

"Why?" asked Tianyan.

Xu Yuan chuckled again, reaching out to hook the girl’s delicate shoulder, his hand gently caressing her fair neck.

Different from the wrapped chest princess’s tight and delicate touch, Tianyan might be flat-chested but her body was as soft as cotton.

"Because you rejected me."

"....."

Tianyan blinked her beautiful eyes, then immediately realized what he was referring to, her face flushing with an enticing red as she spat out:

"Pah, we’re talking serious matters here, what was going on with you just now?"

"I am talking about serious matters."

Xu Yuan watched the girl he had drawn into his arms with a smile, feeling her slender and soft body, his fingertips sliding down her neck and continuing below the straps of her elaborate dress.

The man’s breath and the touch of his fingertips caused Tianyan, seated on a meditation cushion, to unconsciously press her legs together, her steady breathing gradually becoming more rapid:

"That.. That’s because you... you said you only remembered part of it, if.. if you....."

"Why must you cling to the feelings from the illusionary realm?"

Xu Yuan’s voice was soft, his fingertips sneaking silently into the tied knot at the girl’s neckline, grazing her skin smooth as jade and continuing downward: "Why don’t we create some new memories, isn’t that good?"

At this point,

Xu Yuan paused to chuckle, asking gently:

"Or is it that you don’t have the confidence to make me fall for you again?"

In his gentle gaze, Tianyan felt her heart racing, and his hand that had ventured down her collar caused her blush to spread instantly to her earlobes.

Biting her lip, Tianyan still chose to grab his wrist, took a deep breath, and steadied her trembling voice:

"Don’t coax me with those words, you... you just want my body."

His hand stalled, Xu Yuan chuckled and teased:

"We’re already like an old married couple, how come you’re still acting like a shy maiden?"

Tianyan looked at him, her lips parting slightly:

"You said that the easier a man gets something, the less he’ll cherish it."

And at that moment, Tianyan seemed to find the key to the predicament, her eyes lighting up as she hurriedly said:

"Moreover, with your current cultivation, you also... also..."

Her clear voice gradually quieted down:

"...wouldn’t be able to take my virginity."

"Then why don’t you just relax?"

"..." Tianyan.

"If you can’t relax, we can always use other metho..."

Slap.

Pushing away his roving hand, Tianyan sprung up and stood, giving Xu Yuan a cold glance:

"It’s impossible."

Xu Yuan was relentless:

"Why?"

"No reason."

"Then don’t interfere when I go to Bai Muxi," Xu Yuan seemed to have made up his mind.

"You dare!" Tianyan glared with wide eyes.

Meeting her gaze, Xu Yuan leaned back, propping himself up with his hands behind him and staring at her:

"Do you have to be so domineering? You won’t give yourself to me, but won’t let me seek others?

"Moreover,

"What about Ran Qingmo and Li Qingyan in the future?"

His words pierced like needles, directly into the girl’s heart.

Hearing this, Tianyan’s already rippling emotions were suddenly covered with a sour taste. She bit her lip, locked eyes with him, and took a deep breath.

Without a word, she walked towards the door without looking back.

Seeing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Xu Yuan’s eyes, but he still called out loudly:

"Tianyan, if you leave now, you will be leaving my Xuanying Attic for good."
