Chapter 1192: Chapter 573: Passing By Each Other! (Part 2)

"Part of it, not the whole thing!"

"That works too!"

As long as it can provide relief!

...

Leaving the Star Hall, Chen Xuan walked along the street, speculating in his mind.

"What exactly is the Lord Hall Master talking about?"

"And it’s related to the Eastern Continent?"

"Is there some problem with the Eastern Continent?"

....

He muttered to himself.

But even as he arrived at the door of the Ritual Department, he was still at a loss.

"Ah!"

He sighed, taking things one step at a time.

Rubbing his brows, his head ached from thinking.

After entering the Ritual Department, he headed straight for Liu Sheng’s small courtyard.

He told him word for word what the Star Hall Master had said.

This time, even Liu Sheng furrowed his brow tightly.

"Involving the Eastern Continent?"

He believed the Lord Hall Master wouldn’t speak arbitrarily, and since he spoke in riddles, it must be a colossal matter.

But what exactly is it?!

After a long time!

"Since the Lord Hall Master personally instructed it, you must pay attention and do your utmost to seize it!"

"Understood!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

...

In the blink of an eye, the day arrived for the Bone Burial Ground to open.

Ritual Department!

Zhan Tian arrived early with Ye Chen.

However, upon seeing Murong Chuan and Ye Jinhong there as well, he slightly furrowed his brow.

Because their strength was too weak.

"I promised the Ye Family!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

But Zhan Tian’s gaze landed on Murong Chuan, and in an instant, he lowered his head guiltily, unable to meet his gaze.

"Heh heh!"

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Just as Grandpa Zhan suspected!"

"Brat!"

Zhan Tian glared at him; it turned out to be this, which he had found strange. How could he have quietly entered the tenth level of the Library Pavilion back then?

Even he was fooled.

Thinking of his perverse methods, it dawned on him that Murong Chuan was Chen Xuan all along!

"Hurry up, don’t miss the timing."

Chen Xuan urged with a smile.

"Humph!"

Zhan Tian snorted coldly, "I’ll settle the score with you after the Bone Burial Ground is done!"

Darn brat is too infuriating.

How dare he infiltrate the Three Judicial Departments! Right under his nose!

If it weren’t for the upcoming entrance to the Bone Burial Ground, he’d really want to give him a good beating to vent.

"Heh heh!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, knowing that after it was done, who would prevail was still uncertain!

Xiaoqi, on the side, stuck out her tongue, wanting to laugh but was stopped by Chen An’s stern gaze.

Afterwards, the group boarded the carriage that had been prepared in advance.

Originally, Chen Xuan planned to ride with Zhan Tian, Xiaoqi, and Chen An, but Zhan Tian shot him a glare.

He cursed, "Get lost!"

In the end, he could only ride with Qin Ke.

"Grandpa Zhan, don’t be angry anymore."

Xiaoqi coaxed him.

"Humph!"

Zhan Tian turned his head, like a small old man who had been wronged, looking very displeased.

"Father had no choice back then; please forgive him this once!"

"You father-son pair never bring peace!"

He wasn’t truly angry, just pure discontent, feeling he lost face!

"Heh heh!"

Xiaoqi shook his arm, "Not angry anymore, ok?"

"Alright, alright, my old bones are being shaken apart by you!"

But finally, a smile appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, in the rear carriage.

Ye Chen mischievously said to Chen Xuan, "The old man’s heart isn’t very big; you’d better be careful!"

"You’re so happy?"

Chen Xuan didn’t mind; at the worst, he had the Chief Eunuch protecting him, he wasn’t afraid!

"No way! Don’t speak nonsense!"

Ye Chen’s smile vanished instantly, saying seriously.

"Come on!"

"I know you’ve been beaten up plenty!"

"You were the happiest just now!"

Chen Xuan had just felt his emotions undergo a huge shift, his face even turned red.

"Must be quite uncomfortable holding it in?"

"Slander!"

"Naked slander!"

"Alright, alright!"

Chen Xuan couldn’t be bothered to say more, then turned serious, asking, "How strong are you?"

"Peak of Seventh Layer!"

Ye Chen shrugged, he’d done his best, time wasn’t enough, and this was his limit.

"Playing with your life?"

"I’m not playing with my life!"

Ye Chen was speechless; playing with his life? He’s not mad!

"Heh heh!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Peak of Seventh Layer is just cannon fodder; when the time comes, you won’t have a choice!"

"Then aren’t we not even cannon fodder?"

Ye Jinghong pointed at himself, showing a bitter smile.

"If you want to think like that, you can."

By this point, there was no point in sugarcoating things to comfort him, besides, the news had spread.

It’s time for them to know the truth.

"If you change your mind, you can get off the carriage; once we reach the Imperial Palace, it’ll be too late."

"You said you’d protect me."

Ye Jinghong looked at him with a somewhat aggrieved gaze, causing Chen Xuan to frown and get goosebumps all over.

But he just stared, waiting for Chen Xuan’s reply.

"If you keep looking at me like that, once we get in, I’ll kill you first!"

Dammit, that disgusting gaze, people might think something happened between them.

Sickening!

"I won’t look then!"

Ye Jinhong pouted; he was really afraid Chen Xuan would do such a thing.

"Rest assured, I’ll protect you as much as I can; if things really go south, don’t blame me if you die."

Chen Xuan said helplessly.

Earlier, he was sure he could; however... who could have anticipated so many strong warriors would come this time, especially that Lin Xi.

Even he was quite apprehensive.

"That’s enough for me!"

Ye Jinghong was still satisfied with this answer.

After all, he had some general understanding of the situation this time.

But for the sake of his family, he still wanted to gamble, if he truly died... then so be it!

Meanwhile, Ye Chen spoke softly, "For the family, for the Three Judicial Departments, for Great Yu... heh!"

A final cold laugh.
