What was he, Chen Yuan, lacking compared to the top three?

Of course, this only refers to a regular Void Core Realm Master. If he were to face a True Core Realm Master, then he probably would be somewhat inferior.

Core Realm Third Layer Heaven, one layer surpasses another.

The gap is immense, not unlike the difference between the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Element within Reach Profound Realm.

“Upon learning this news, I hurried here with utmost urgency to remind Brother Chen to be cautious in the coming days and, if possible, to send someone to notify Jiang Golden Envoy.”

In Shangguan Yu’s view, Chen Yuan’s biggest support was Jiang He; only he could shield Chen Yuan from the might of a Dan Realm Master.

“Thank you, Brother Shangguan.”

Chen Yuan nodded.

“Brother Chen, don’t say it that way, the matter with Yun Han started because of me. Yet, I couldn’t shield you from the Yun Family’s might, which really goes against the way of friends.”

The more polite Chen Yuan was, the more ashamed Shangguan Yu felt.

When he first learned of this issue, he had again sought his father, hoping his father could send someone to block the Core Realm Master dispatched by the Yun Family.

But…

He was scolded once more.

He was told that the Yun Family’s wrath had to erupt, and the Shangguan Clan should not intervene. Otherwise, it would surely lead to hostility with the Yun Family, which would be contrary to the interests of the Shangguan Family.

Chen Yuan was not yet in a position where the Shangguan Family would go to war with the Yun Family for him.

After failing to negotiate with his father, Shangguan Yu even argued with his father for a while, then left the Shangguan Family alone, and it so happened he met Shangguan Hong and then brought her to Hidden Soldier Valley.

“A true friend is in the heart. If Brother Shangguan speaks like that again, Chen might actually get angry,” Chen Yuan behaved like a magnanimous elder brother.

Which deeply moved Shangguan Yu.

“Brother Chen…”

“Brother Shangguan, there’s no need for more words; You’ve already brought your reminder to Chen’s heart. As for a person like Yun Han, if he’s killed, then he’s killed. But if a real Grandmaster comes… let him come and never return!”

Chen Yuan’s gaze turned slightly cold.

A subtle murderous aura lingered around him, shockingly mysterious.

His strong self-confidence made Shangguan Hong look sideways, her eyes sparkling with brilliance.

After some idle talk, it was almost time for dinner. Lady Xu and Ouyang Zhi left to order the preparation of the meal, and Han Yu stood up and left. Shangguan Hong, under the guidance of two female disciples from Hidden Soldier Valley, prepared to take a good look around Hidden Soldier Valley.

In the blink of an eye, only Chen Yuan and Shangguan Yu were left in the grand hall.

“Brother Chen, I have another question, may I ask it?” As soon as everyone else had left, Shangguan Yu said mysteriously.

“Between you and me, there’s no need for too many precautions, just speak frankly, Brother Shangguan,” Chen Yuan responded indifferently.

Shangguan Yu nodded and began:

“A few days ago, I heard some news that the Nameless Heavenly Stele on Emei Mountain was shattered, and some say that the Immortal Fate within it has been taken by someone. Does Brother Chen know about this?”

“Is that so? Hidden Soldier Valley had closed its Mountain Gate a few days ago and was isolated from the outside world; indeed, I haven’t heard about this,” Chen Yuan showed a bit of surprise.

If he appeared too composed, it might cause suspicion in Shangguan Yu.

Chen Yuan would surely not admit to anything regarding fate.

If word got out, it would certainly make people think Chen Yuan had obtained that Immortal Fate, attracting envy.

Immortal Fate—what a tremendous opportunity!

Although Chen Yuan knew the special function of the Nameless Heavenly Stele, others did not.

“That’s quite regrettable then, I’ve heard that some are already secretly investigating recent visitors to Emei Mountain. By the way… Last time, Brother Chen said he wanted to visit Emei Mountain, did you notice anything unusual then?”

Shangguan Yu laughed lightly, his eyes twinkling.

Clearly, he didn’t believe Chen Yuan’s words, and in fact, when he first heard about this event, his initial reaction was that the Immortal Fate might have been taken by Chen Yuan.

How else could it be such a coincidence?

Not long after Chen Yuan left Guangling Prefecture, the Nameless Heavenly Stele shattered. To say there was no connection was impossible.

If it had been before, when he had just become acquainted with Chen Yuan, he would have indeed tried to take the Immortal Fate from Chen Yuan. But since the incident with Yun Han’s death,

he no longer thought that way but considered Chen Yuan a true friend.

Even so, he had people silenced.

Any of his subordinates who might have known about Chen Yuan’s trip to Emei Mountain were ordered by him to be executed, all to help Chen Yuan keep the secret.

“It’s indeed a coincidence. Actually, at that time, I didn’t go to Emei Mountain. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was delayed for a few days and then came directly to Hidden Soldier Valley, where I have stayed up to now,” Chen Yuan laughed.

Shangguan Yu watched Chen Yuan for a moment, then smiled lightly:

“I see, maybe I was overthinking it. At first, I thought Brother Chen had obtained this Immortal Fate.”

“How could that be? I’m not the illegitimate son of the heavens, how could I possess such Qi Fortune?”

“Haha, you never know, Brother Chen. Your strength is formidable, your talent profound, you are indeed a man endowed with great Qi Fortune,”

“You flatter me, Brother Shangguan.”

“By the way, Brother Chen, I once mentioned something about marriage. At that time, you declined citing an aversion to worldly pleasures. As for Lady Xu here….”

Chen Yuan shook his head, speaking softly:

“Indeed, I have always stayed away from worldly pleasures, but that doesn’t mean worldly pleasures stay away from me.”

No man could resist a beauty like Lady Xu.

“Brother Chen, forgive my bluntness, although Lady Xu is indeed the number one beauty of Shuzhou, she’s slightly older. Hidden Soldier Valley is only a second-tier power. It’s acceptable for her to be a concubine, but as a main wife, she probably falls short. She doesn’t quite match up to Brother Chen, a peerless genius.”

Shangguan Yu still wanted to be Chen Yuan’s brother-in-law.

This intention, after guessing that the other had obtained the Immortal Fate, increased even more. He harbored no malice; he only hoped that Chen Yuan and the Shangguan Family could support each other.

In the beginning, the Shangguan Family protected Chen Yuan, just like this time. If Chen Yuan became a son-in-law of the Shangguan Family, he didn’t believe his father would remain indifferent.

And later, with Chen Yuan’s talent and speed of rise, it would likely be Chen Yuan supporting the Shangguan Family.
