Chapter 1170 - 566: Only Lady Chen, No Qin Ying!

Chapter 1170: Chapter 566: Only Lady Chen, No Qin Ying!

"I won’t say the word ’thanks’, makes me look sappy!"

Right now Zhan Tian also could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.

Experience and insights on Breaking Nine! How priceless is that!

If he could use this to break through in one go... his strength might very well rival the Late Ninth Layer!

"So does that mean I can have an even bigger temper now!?"

These days, those few people hadn’t stopped teasing him like this.

So he might as well act even more arrogant!

He might even... straighten his back more when facing Emperor Yu.

In the end it was still Emperor Yu’s conduct last time that left him deeply dissatisfied; unlike Liu Sheng, who might choose to endure in silence.

But he couldn’t!

It’s just that his strength wasn’t on par with Emperor Yu; otherwise, he might have started a fight on the spot.

People who claw their way up from the bottom aren’t that easy to talk down!

Liu Sheng looked at his expression and the faint anger in his eyes and instantly guessed the rough idea, but with a junior like Chen Xuan present, he didn’t say it out loud.

"Right, what about after this?"

Zhan Tian asked. Now that he’d had a Realm Breakthrough, should he keep pretending to be a ’cripple’ or.....?

"Keep it up!"

Liu Sheng’s tone instantly turned a bit colder.

He was somewhat discouraged; if not for his attachment to the Ritual Department, into which he’d poured a lifetime of effort, and the Chief Eunuch’s dying instructions, he might already have wanted to retire to the mountains.

As for the rest, he no longer wanted to think about it.

"That’s fine too!"

"The dangerous zones have all been stabilized. At least for the next ten thousand years nothing should happen. After this Burial Ground matter ends, there probably won’t be any major events in Great Yu."

The old fellow had worked himself to the bone his whole life, cautious and diligent; in his view, it was about time he rested.

Keeping things as they were wasn’t bad either!

"It’s just a bit troublesome that the jade crown shattered!"

He looked at the jade crown on the ground that had split into two. Of course he knew how to restrain his aura; he didn’t care about ordinary people, but those few, especially Duke Qin and Emperor Yu—he didn’t know if they’d be able to sense anything.

"Let me try!"

At this moment Chen Xuan spoke up.

When his innate talent upgraded again last time, he gained some different things; it was a good chance to test them.

"You..."

Zhan Tian looked at him suspiciously. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust him, but the Ninth Layer was on a completely different level from before.

"You have a way?"

Liu Sheng glared at him, then turned to Chen Xuan and smiled. "Give it a try. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. At least for now this old man has no plans to leave this little courtyard."

"You really do spoil him!"

Zhan Tian curled his lips in displeasure.

He couldn’t even voice some doubt? The old codger really was overprotective of his ’cub’.

He was still an elder, after all!

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged opposite Liu Sheng. His concealment talent slowly activated, while his hands moved incessantly.

In an instant!

Runes appeared one after another, sparkling with a crystalline radiance.

"What complicated runes!"

The moment the runes appeared, Zhan Tian couldn’t help exclaiming.

His Spiritual Power might be at Seventh Dao Stage, but it was definitely not weaker than those at the Eighth, and his proficiency with Arrays wasn’t bad either.

These runes were very profound!

Not just him—Liu Sheng’s eyes also flashed with a trace of surprise, though what he felt more was gratification.

He even couldn’t resist arching his brows at Zhan Tian, showing off.

Which immediately earned him an eye-roll from Zhan Tian.

A moment later.

The number of runes had exceeded a thousand. With a wave of Chen Xuan’s hand, all the runes began rotating in the air and gradually converged into a pattern.

But neither Liu Sheng nor Zhan Tian had ever seen it before.

"Chief Eunuch, don’t resist!"

Chen Xuan said.

"Mm!" Liu Sheng nodded.

The next moment, under Chen Xuan’s guidance, this pattern slowly shrank, then came to hover above Liu Sheng’s head.

"Done!"

Chen Xuan shouted softly as the rune branded itself between his brows.

"Hmm?"

As the brand settled, Zhan Tian’s expression tightened, because he couldn’t sense Liu Sheng’s aura at all.

As for Liu Sheng, he carefully felt it out.

This rune had completely gathered his aura at the center of his brow, not letting a single trace leak out.

"This is...?"

"Just a little trick."

Chen Xuan chuckled.

"Smack!"

Liu Sheng slapped him on the head. "Still putting on an act!"

A little trick?!

This was no little trick. To completely conceal his aura—this was practically a heaven-defying method!

"Kid, maybe stop pretending."

Beside them, Zhan Tian grinned wickedly.

"None of your damn business!"

"Uhh—"

The smile on Zhan Tian’s face froze and instantly darkened.

As for Chen Xuan, he forced down his laughter so hard the corners of his eyes twitched.

He didn’t dare laugh!

This old man had always wanted to beat him up; he couldn’t give him an excuse!

"Right, let those two little brats outside come in. It’s been so long already. You two as well, honestly."

Liu Sheng felt a bit tired.

They’d made the kids wait outside for so long.

"If you hadn’t said anything I’d have forgotten!"

Zhan Tian slapped his forehead. His mind had been entirely on Liu Sheng, and he really had forgotten.

"Hurry up!"

"Got it!"

Chen Xuan stood up; he had genuinely forgotten too.

A short while later, he brought Xiaoqi and Chen An into the room.

"Greetings, Grandpa Liu!"

The two of them saluted, calling out in unison.

"Good, good!"

Liu Sheng nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze to Chen Xuan. "You should have more children."

Both kids had Double Five aptitude, and that was just on the surface.

Their true strength was even more terrifying.

"That’s not something you can do just because you want to."

Chen Xuan spread his hands. He’d sown plenty of seeds, but if no ’goods’ came out, there was nothing he could do.

"The Ritual Department has some things stashed away. Later I’ll have Kang Bai take you to have a look. Let the two little ones pick something. Oh, and if there are more, pick them all at once?"

"Xiaoqi has an older brother and four older sisters!"
