Chapter 132 - 131: You Were Wrong, So What?

Chapter 132: Chapter 131: You Were Wrong, So What?

"Haha..."

Ye Yilan really had a taste of his shamelessness.

Initially, he didn’t even think twice before refusing his precious daughter’s request, and now he was speaking such shameless words.

Truly... shameless!

However, even if he didn’t say it, Ye Yilan was thinking the same thing.

After all, Bai Ze... sometimes resorted to any means necessary, and he had been keeping an eye on Chen Xuan these past few days.

So might as well let him come to the City Lord’s Mansion; this would make things slightly more convenient.

"Alright, go ahead, I’ve got everything prepared. You’ll stay at the City Lord’s Mansion for the time being."

With that, he left the hall.

Phew—

At this moment, Chen Xuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He had been on edge for several days, and although he still had half a month to endure, it was slightly better than before.

He then took one step, and the next moment he was in the backyard of the Chen Mansion.

"Ladies, come over! I have something to announce!"

He called out loudly inside.

A moment later, several women came out one after another.

"What is it, Brother Xuan? I was still cultivating," Su Yun was the first to ask.

"You’ve always wanted to see your Sister Ye, right? This time, it’s all good. We’re all going, so you can play with her."

"Really? That’s great!" The little girl immediately rejoiced—she had always wanted to go, but Chen Xuan wouldn’t let her. However, she then asked in confusion, "Are you all going too?"

"Yes, we’re all going. Besides, I have some questions about cultivation that I can consult with the Mansion Master."

Although they were going to the City Lord’s Mansion to take refuge, he naturally couldn’t tell them that. Fortunately, Su Yun had a good relationship with Ye Jincen, which provided a reasonable excuse.

The other women, however, instantly realized that things weren’t that simple but didn’t ask anything at that moment, and then they prepared to go back to their rooms to pack.

But they were stopped by Chen Xuan, "No need, let’s go now!"

"Ah... is it that urgent?" Even Su Yun sensed something unusual at this point.

"Come on, listen to Brother Xuan, let’s go!"

Su Wanqiu directly grabbed her hand and walked towards the outside.

....

Ye Yilan specially prepared a small courtyard for him, equipped with five maids, which was indeed very considerate.

Just as everyone finished settling in, Ye Jincen appeared.

This time, Chen Xuan’s attitude was much better than last time, after all, he was now living under someone else’s roof and had to restrain himself a bit.

With a smile, he greeted, "Senior Sister, are you here to see Su Yun? I’ll go call her!"

"Didn’t you say she wasn’t allowed to come last time? Why are you allowing her now?"

Ye Jincen had kept what happened last time in mind, and it made her quite uncomfortable whenever she remembered it, so she mocked him at this moment.

"Haha, that’s because times have changed, nothing I could do, so I had to come to the City Lord’s Mansion."

Faced with her mocking, Chen Xuan didn’t feel the slightest bit awkward and instead spoke the truth.

"You’re so... thick-skinned!"

Having lived in the City Lord’s Mansion all her life, how could she be a match for Chen Xuan? No one had ever spoken to her like that, so ultimately she could only curse at his shamelessness.

To this, Chen Xuan gladly nodded in agreement, "You’re absolutely right!"

So what if you’re thick-skinned?

In the face of life, that’s a minor issue!

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Ye Jincen stopped looking at him and instead came to the center of the small courtyard, inserting a small red flag into the ground.

Soon afterward, a vast amount of spiritual power scattered out, instantly filling the entire courtyard.

At the same time, her starry eyes glimmered with silver light.

"Hmm?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Is she setting up an Array?"

He was now a fifth-tier Spirit Cultivator, and the Myriad Manifestation Skill had also advanced to the third level, so he could see it at a glance.

As time passed, Chen Xuan felt this small courtyard seemed isolated from the outside world.

"What does this mean?"

He couldn’t understand why Ye Jincen set up such an Array.

Roughly half an hour later, he heard her shout softly, "It’s done!"

The spiritual power in the small courtyard suddenly vanished entirely.

"Daddy said you shouldn’t leave this small courtyard during this period, or if something happens, he won’t care!"

"What is this Array?"

"It’s to isolate your presence. As long as you don’t step outside this small courtyard, Bai Ze won’t be able to find you!" Even though she was unhappy with him internally, she still explained, as was her grace.

Just as Chen Xuan wanted to ask something more, Su Yun ran out of the room, "Sister Ye, I heard your voice and came right out; I was just about to find you!"

The previously cold-faced Ye Jincen’s ice melted the instant she saw Su Yun, transforming into a smile. She even walked quickly over and took Su Yun’s hand, "Haha, I was thinking about you too, my sister. This time someone finally agreed, let’s go; I have some goodies there!"

At this moment, Su Yun looked at Chen Xuan, inquiring with her eyes.

"Go on, go on, you can go whenever you want from now on!"

At this moment, he didn’t dare to say no.

Instead, Ye Jincen, seeing him agree, lifted her head proudly, looking a bit smug.

After the two left, Chen Xuan smiled wryly.

Truly... difficult to raise both women and petty people!

He then walked towards the room, intending to cultivate, as he hadn’t been able to focus on it these days due to the situation.

With this array, Bai Ze cannot find him, nor can he do anything to him.

By the time Xuan Er emerges from seclusion, he might very well have reached the Breaking Realm First Grade. Then, who would dare to touch him?

Of course, this only buys some time. If it drags on, given Bai Ze’s nature, he would probably cause a big uproar in the City Lord’s Mansion, and he definitely won’t be able to hide.

This is why Ye Yilan resorted to this method upon learning that Xuan Er would come out in just half a month.

...

At this moment, in the military camp outside Youlan Mansion City, Bai Ze brought ten thousand Imperial Army troops from the Imperial City, stationed here.

"Is Jingzhou’s four commanderies seeking rebellion? It’s been a month, and they still haven’t gathered the troops, with only a third of the supplies ready!"

Bai Ze looked at the reports coming from the four commanderies, furious beyond words.

At their pace, it wouldn’t be ready in one month, let alone two or three months.

It’s important to know that the longer it drags on, the more advantageous it is for the rebel army.

Once a successful nation is established, the Great Xia’s fortune will quickly decline from prosperity, and then it will be a major problem.

"Huang Yun, Li Xianfu, you both personally go to the four commanderies and tell them ten days. This Marshal only gives them ten days. If in ten days the grand army has not reached Youlan Mansion, regardless of who, kill!"

If they dare to pretend obedience while acting in defiance, then Bai Ze would dare to kill!

It seems too long has passed without action; some people have forgotten he is a slaughterer.

"Yes, Marshal Bai!"

The two responded simultaneously, but just as they were about to leave, they were stopped.

"Wait, you are too slow, let that Chen Xuan come. He has the Spiritual Power of Swift Foot, it would be a waste not to use it!"

These days I was thinking of a way to deal with this kid that could provoke Xuan Er, but the conscription order has already been issued without his refusal, and with some time before the battle with the rebel army, I’ve had no way so far.

But now an opportunity has arisen!

If he dares to refuse, hey, then don’t blame me for being ruthless, military law will handle him, even Ye Yilan can’t do anything about it.

"Yes, my lord, I will go right away!"

Huang Yun immediately accepted the order, understanding Bai Ze’s scheme in his heart.

About half an hour later,

Huang Yun returned to the camp alone.

"Where is he?"

At this point, Bai Ze was on the verge of rage, and his gaze towards Huang Yun was faintly murderous.

Suddenly he trembled inside, quickly explaining: "I didn’t find him!"

"According to the people who have been watching him, Chen Xuan’s carriage entered the City Lord’s Mansion and never came out, but when I went to the City Lord’s Mansion, Feng Zheng said he wasn’t there either!"

"Isn’t it possible that this kid escaped, my lord? With his Spiritual Power of Swift Foot, it would be too easy."

At this moment, Li Xianfu took the opportunity to say.

But Bai Ze looked at him like he was a fool, escape?

If he wanted to escape, he would have done so long ago, why wait until now?

And doesn’t he know how severe the consequences would be if he runs away?

Unless he wants to die!

So he must be with Ye Yilan.

Moreover, since Feng Zheng dares to say so, he is confident Bai Ze can’t find Chen Xuan unless he turns against Ye Yilan and overturns the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, Ye Yilan is not weaker than he is!

Forget it, let’s pause for now; after all, the urgent matter at hand is urging the army from the four commanderies to arrive at Youlan Mansion on time, as for that kid, let him hop around for a while.

Once the army from the four commanderies arrives, he’ll personally go to Ye Yilan for the person. If he dares not give him, then don’t blame him for not showing face and overturning his City Lord’s Mansion.

"Alright, you two go personally!"

Although Bai Ze felt somewhat suffocated, he had no choice given that the four commanderies’ issue could not be delayed.

"Yes, Marshal Bai!"

The two replied in unison with respect, then immediately left the camp.

Only after they were thousands of acres away did they breathe a sigh of relief, it’s said to be as dangerous to serve a king as to serve a tiger, but they felt it’s even riskier beside Bai Ze.

That palpable killing intent made them feel fear, even though they were of Second Grade.

...

In less than half a month,

Under Bai Ze’s pressure, the army from the four commanderies finally arrived at Youlan Mansion, one after another.

But they all exceeded Bai Ze’s given deadline.

Additionally... there was a significant shortage of both experts and ordinary soldiers.

In the camp, Bai Ze’s face was as dark as iron, looking at the commanders from the four commanderies, his tone was grim as he asked:

"Beyond the deadline I set, such a shortage of experts above Fifth Grade, and ordinary soldiers are short by 30%!"

"Are you not going to explain this to this Marshal?"

One of the four, a bald man in a silver robe.

He was Hongtu, the commander-in-chief of Yong’an Commandery, one of the four commanderies!

He arrived the latest, taking a full half month to get here.

At this moment, he touched his head, slowly stood up, showing a simple-minded smile on his face, and explained:

"Marshal Bai, the time was too urgent this time. We managed to gather these people at the fastest speed; there is really no way!"

"But rest assured, ongoing recruitment is in progress, and once they’re gathered, they will come over immediately!"

"So you’re saying this is the Marshal’s fault?" Bai Ze’s gaze was icy, that substantial killing intent now released wantonly, pressing toward the bald man.

Yet the bald man didn’t show any fear, though his smile vanished instantly, squinting his eyes, his Second Grade aura suddenly burst out.

"It is your fault, so what?"
