Chapter 137: Chapter 136 Nine Dragons Array

"Miss also has a tragic fate, Brother Xuan, it’s best if you give her some leeway in the future."

Feng Zheng suddenly spoke up, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by an expression of pity.

’A young miss of the City Lord’s Mansion, tragic fate?’

’Then how many people in this world aren’t with tragic fates!’

Chen Xuan looked at him in confusion, was he joking?

"Really!"

Feng Zheng knew he didn’t believe him, but the facts were indeed like this, and only a few people knew about this matter.

"Miss’s mother died at the hands of remnants of the sect when she was five years old. Those people killed the madam right in front of Miss, fortunately, the second lord arrived in time and saved Miss; otherwise, she would have..."

"But since then, Miss seemed to have changed into another person."

"Silent and withdrawn, almost every night she has nightmares."

"For this, Lord Mansion Master heartily regrets it, all of this happened because he was a man of the court."

"This is also why the Mansion Master greatly indulges Miss, even came to Youlan Mansion for her, and has not sought heirs these years!"

Hoo—

So that’s how it is.

Her mother met a tragic death right before her eyes, such harm... No wonder she acts so coldly; I previously thought it was because she was the Mansion Master’s young lady, looking down on others.

Now it seems, it was my misunderstanding.

"Got it Chief Steward Feng, I’ll pay attention in the future."

"Thank you!"

...

In Bai Ze’s tent.

At this moment, after Huang Yun gave all his reports, he stood there, very nervous.

"You may leave!"

Bai Ze’s voice showed no sign of anomaly.

"Yes, Marshal Bai!"

Huang Yun slightly bent over in response, then left the tent.

Only when he arrived outside did he relax.

However....

"Ever since that last thing, Marshal Bai seems a bit different!"

According to previous behavior, Bai Ze would at the very least chastise him, didn’t expect this time to be so calm.

In the tent.

Bai Qi looked at him, "Forget it bro, that kid is untouchable now, and the grudge between him and Xuan Er is considered over, so let’s not dwell on it."

"Hmm!"

Bai Ze slightly nodded, this time he truly didn’t want to find trouble with that kid, or plot against him.

After all, just like Bai Qi said, the death feud between him and Xuan Er is considered resolved, and the National Preceptor will not allow difficulty for him, Chen Xuan knows this well, that’s why he acts so confidently.

Truly, Celestial Water Commandery is fortified as if with iron, impenetrable.

Therefore thinking of having him utilize Shenzutong to infiltrate Celestial Water Commandery, to explore the situation inside.

"Wait until the Nine Dragons Array is set up, for now Celestial Water Commandery’s four gates are heavily guarded, and there’s an array, not easy to attack!"

In the recent days, he tried several probes, but every city gate is guarded by Second-Grade Experts, plus the protective array, there’s completely no chance.

Moreover, the rebel army shows no intent to come out, just staying inside the city.

No matter how he provokes, even when he appeared alone at the city gate, the rebel army remained unmoved.

"Hmph! Wait until the Nine Dragons Array is set, I’ll break their turtle shell!"

Bai Ze squinted eyes, almost tangible murderous aura once again uncontrolled, returning to his bloodthirsty form.

"Also, you must supervise Ji Keren well, the Nine Dragons Array must be set up as soon as possible, once Ye Jincen comprehends it, with the two Third-Stage Spirit Cultivators, plus other greater Spirit Cultivators, they’ll be able to control the array."

"Understood, checking on it every day now."

Bai Qi certainly knows this is of utmost importance, so when the army arrived here, he immediately had Ji Keren lead that group of Spirit Cultivators to start arranging it.

But because there’s only her as a Third-Stage Spirit Cultivator, they need to wait for Ye Jincen!

Because to activate and control the array requires at least a Third-Stage Spirit Cultivator, which is why Qi Lin asked her for the reason.

...

In the tent, Ye Jincen sat to the side, comprehending the Nine Dragons Array in the jade slip.

Just like this, kept sitting until afternoon, then put down the jade slip.

But those slender brows remained tightly knit.

At this moment, Chen Xuan poured a cup of tea lightly placing it on the table beside her, softly saying: "Have a cup of tea, take a break, comprehending an array isn’t something that can be achieved in a short time, ignore Bai Ze’s seven-day limit!"

Ye Jincen slightly raised her head to look at him, said nothing, but did gently pick up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Consider this my forgiveness for your earlier rudeness."

The voice remained very cold.

But having understood her story, Chen Xuan didn’t mind this time,

Instead, he smiled slightly, then asked: "Is this Nine Dragons Array very complex?"

"Yes!" Ye Jincen nodded slightly, "It’s the most complex and powerful I’ve ever seen."

The Nine Dragons Array, is simply a killing formation, the array’s runes are immensely profound, without complete comprehension, it’s impossible to control.

"Oh..." Chen Xuan immediately became interested.

A spirit cultivation genius like Ye Jincen, also an array genius, finds it difficult, he actually wanted to see how complex it was.

So picked up the jade slip, spiritual power extending.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, all the symbols of the Nine Dragons Array appeared in his mind, dense and numerous.

"Hiss...."

Chen Xuan gasped, then his spiritual power withdrew from the jade slip.

Having only looked at one percent of it, Chen Xuan found himself overwhelmed, countless little arrays interconnected, just in this one tenth of a part, there were already thousands of small array combinations.

Even a large portion of his spiritual power had been consumed, he felt it wasn’t long at all, why such vast consumption?

The view inside the tent became dim.

So he asked Ye Jincen beside him, "How long have I been comprehending?"

"Almost three hours!"

Such a long time!

But to him, it felt just like a moment.

No wonder his Spiritual Power was so depleted.

"It seems after you took the Calm Spirit Pill, you’ve improved quite a lot, reaching the fourth stage, otherwise you wouldn’t have lasted so long!"

Chen Xuan looked at her with some surprise; this woman was indeed cold, but truly smart, managing to guess his cultivation level just from this.

"But it’s just that, the Calm Spirit Pill you took was a bit wasted."

Instantly, Chen Xuan almost laughed from being angered by her; does this woman really have no emotional intelligence at all, to say such words right in front of him!

Really... speechless.

So, with a competitive spirit, he asked, "How much have you comprehended?"

"Not much, one-fifth of it. In seven days, I can fully comprehend it!"

Ugh...

He’s completely crushed by her.

Really being too mouthy, why did he have to ask such a question, just looking for trouble!

Then quietly walked to the side and sat down, sipping some tea to mask his embarrassment.

Yet Ye Jincen’s lips curled slightly, but quickly reverted to her previous cold demeanor.

After that, they no longer exchanged words, but as Chen Xuan felt the time was about right, he stood up slowly, "I’m leaving, I’ll be back early tomorrow!"

"Are you really going back to Youlan Mansion?"

Ye Jincen’s starry eyes slightly opened, glanced, feeling quite strange.

Back then, when her father told her Chen Xuan returned to Youlan Mansion every day, she thought he was joking.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

Is it possible he just can’t... do without women?

"Haha, it’s because I promised the women at home that I would return every night, sigh! Being a good man is truly too difficult."

Chen Xuan wore an expression of a good man.

Ye Jincen shook her head slightly, ignoring him.

She wasn’t dumb, and her father had quite a few women, what could he be doing going back so late?

Before leaving, Chen Xuan instructed Feng Zheng to keep an eye on things here, then used his divine foot technique to head towards Youlan Mansion.

...

At Youlan Mansion, in Chen Mansion.

"Sister, why hasn’t Brother Xuan returned yet?"

In the backyard hall, Su Yun asked.

Su Wanqiu looked helplessly at this little sister, asking her? How is she supposed to know.

"Just wait! Brother Xuan said he would definitely return."

"Indeed, when have I ever broken a promise."

Chen Xuan’s figure suddenly appeared in the hall; the young girl immediately rushed over, throwing herself into his arms.

"I thought you weren’t coming back."

Yet, looking around he didn’t see Pei Yuenan and Liu Rushi, so he asked Su Wanqiu, "Where are the two of them?"

"Waiting in the room!"

Oh!

Truly self-aware, he was very pleased.

Since this is the case, why wait any longer, coming back from afar was just for this, immediately picking up Su Yun, he grinned at Su Wanqiu, "Come! Watch your husband take on the world!"

"Hahaha..."

Laughing as he walked towards the room.

"Truly... indecent!" Though she said this, her heart was extremely happy because he returned, which meant nothing happened, she could also be at ease.

As for anything else, it didn’t matter.

To her, a common woman, keeping her man happy was most important.

Inside the room,

In a world of confusion and chaos, another bout erupted.

Chen Xuan sighed; he was like a laborer going out early and returning late, coming back at night for some indulgence, laboring hard during the day protecting Ye Jincen, truly exhausting.

...

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Still in closed-door cultivation, Xuan Er suddenly opened his eyes.

"That kid’s back? What’s going on?"

Slightly furrowing his brows, the next moment appeared before Ye Yilan.

"I say, can’t you two master and disciple stop doing this, suddenly appearing with divine foot technique here and there, that kid’s doing it, now you too! You know it can scare people to death."

Complaining quite discontentedly.

"Chen Xuan’s returned? What’s the matter!"

If he hadn’t sensed some bad scenes, he wouldn’t have come to ask Ye Yilan.

"Really back? I thought he was just joking! Damn! Thank goodness I arranged Feng Zheng, that damn fellow can’t be relied upon!"

He’s all numb, a big man, can’t do without women?

Still needs to come back every day; how lustful he must be, or perhaps...

"Do you think that kid practiced some dual cultivation technique, so he has to harmonize every night and must come?"

"No! I’ve seen his cultivation technique, very decent, leaning towards body refinement."

Xuan Er shook his head, quite certain about this.

"Then this kid is just too lustful, reincarnation of a lustful demon, truly... lustful... damn bark!"
