Chapter 222: Chapter 110: Breaking Army, Shaking Light; Secret Talks with Elder Xue_3

Chen Chengbi said, "Red Dragon Fire Power."

He sighed and said, "Yue Qianfeng, you harbor no good intentions."

"You probably deeply resent me. This surge of Red Dragon Fire Power has entered your body, who knows when it will erupt, injure your lungs and viscera, and burn your blood."

The old man’s expression was complex. He was a pure martial artist, born into the royal family, but because his blood lineage was distant, he only practiced martial arts and cultivation. He felt regret for the young man’s future and muttered, "Having your blood burn until it’s dry and dying is a minor matter."

"This surge of Red Dragon Power could pose a great obstacle to your cultivation."

"It’s possible that you’ll be stuck at the second multi-story level for life until one day when the Red Dragon Power bursts forth, and you die of blood exhaustion. What a pity, a pity."

Li Guanyi replied:

"To be loyal to the king and serve the country is how our kind should be!"

"There’s nothing to be pitied."

This statement was spoken with a righteous and stirring force.

Chen Chengbi sighed, the Seventh Prince glanced sideways, and a general of the Imperial Guard also nodded slightly. His expression relaxed greatly, not expecting to find such a loyal and capable person among the royal family’s relatives.

Only Breaking Army pinched his thigh with his drooping fingers.

To stop himself from laughing.

The grand strategist almost recalled the most painful and difficult moments of his past twenty-plus years, so as not to laugh unrestrainedly.

Others unaware, all thought that the young man in front of them had commendable loyalty. Chen Chengbi thought for a moment, then took something off his waist and handed it over, saying, "This is the Heavenly King Life-saving Pill. It can protect your heart channels from being harmed by the Red Dragon Power. You are a good kid."

"I, as an old man, will think of a way to see if I can resolve this Red Dragon Power in your chest."

Just hearing the name of this elixir, Li Guanyi knew it was very expensive.

But the elder was looking at him eagerly, so Li Guanyi had to tilt his head back and swallow the elixir. Now, settling down, he thought he’d probably swallowed treasures worth a thousand taels of silver in one breath. Although he was not poor, he had not developed the habit of being extravagant.

Still, there was a tinge of genuine regret in his expression.

A thousand taels of silver! Twelve hundred strings of cash.

Huichun Hall’s hundred years of salary was gone.

To onlookers, it appeared that although the young man was calm on the surface,

inside, he must still feel pain from having his martial arts almost ruined, and they couldn’t help but sigh with sadness and pity in their hearts.

Breaking Army, however, was full of admiration.

This generation’s head of the White Tiger Sect was such a good actor.

But, after all, it was he who had found such an outstanding head of the White Tiger Sect.

It was he who had signed the contract first.

You old things, you useless things!

Just watch me wash away the disgrace of the last hundred and eighty years!

After consoling him for a long time, a general of the Imperial Guard directly issued a note, allowing Li Guanyi paid leave. He was then driven home by carriage, and only when Li Guanyi had left the center of the vortex to return to his yard in the Xue Family did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lying on the bed, Li Guanyi closed his eyes and breathed out, suddenly feeling something and opened his eyes to find a silver hair peeking out from the corner of the wall. With a slight smile, his expression relaxed.

It was Shaking Light.

The girl slowly poked her head out from the corner with her hands.

At that moment, he saw Shaking Light’s movements halt.

The silver hair that was slowly emerging froze.

Then it quickly retreated downward.

The girl quietly lay there, motionless.

Even her breathing was held.

Li Guanyi was stunned when he heard hurried footsteps, followed by the sight of the door being kicked open as Xue Daoyong stormed in, furiously cursing Yue Qianfeng. Anyone who saw him knew that the elder was furious.

The door was closed.

As he turned around, however, his expression was calm.

Seeing the young man still lying on the bed,

the old man kicked the youth’s butt without good humor and scolded with a laugh, "Alright, no need to put on an act in front of this old man. Tell me, what kind of mess have you and Yue Qianfeng stirred up?"

"Causing such a huge disaster, you’ve even implicated this old man in having to feign furious desperation in front of others."

The elder poured himself a cup of tea and sat down in the Grandmaster’s chair, drinking tea with a leisurely expression on his face.

Li Guanyi sat up with a roll, barely restraining himself from glancing towards the corner.

Seeing a strand of silver hair being blown away,

the girl quietly pressed down her silver hair with her hand.

She probably remained expressionless.

Li Guanyi almost laughed, but answered, "Indeed, I can’t hide anything from Elder Xue."

He refocused his attention and paused, unsure where to start.

Finally thinking of Noble Consort Xue, the Crown Prince, and the matter of his illegitimate child, Li Guanyi sat there, looking at the elder, and said:

"Elder Xue."

"Do you want to see your niece’s son become the Crown Prince?"

With that question, the political situation of Chen Country was laid bare.

The elder took a sip of tea and paused as his gaze sharpened.
