Chapter 201 - 197: Old Woman?

In the Ink Moon Inn, Chen Xuan was casually chatting with Xuan Er and the others.

And about the situation over in the Great Zhou.

Suddenly,

A powerful aura descended from the sky, enveloping the entire inn.

"Whose aura is this...?"

Ye Yilan’s face changed suddenly. He was too familiar with it!

It’s her!

"Does your father-in-law know who this is?" Chen Xuan asked when he saw his somewhat fearful expression.

"The leader of the Dark Guard!"

Ye Yilan slowly uttered those words, seemingly recalling the past, his eyes turning terrified, and he couldn’t help but swallow!

Chen Xuan was puzzled about what kind of person could frighten him like this!

Then he looked at Xuan Er, and to his surprise, he wore the same apprehensive expression.

This made him even more curious.

"Chen Xuan!"

A sharp voice rang out in mid-air.

"Looking for me?"

"And it’s a woman!"

But the next moment, he understood. She must be here because of Ye Yilan.

He shook his head and chuckled.

"I’ll go take a look!"

His figure disappeared, appearing above the inn.

At this time, clad in red, Xia Lingyu stood in mid-air, her eyes coldly staring at him.

"Snap!"

A black long whip, carrying a terrifying aura, lashed out at Chen Xuan with such speed, like a black snake shadow! The sound of breaking through the air was a continuous stream.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow; what an arrogant woman.

Seeing the black whip attacking, he wasn’t flustered at all and slowly extended his right hand.

Letting the black whip strike hard onto his wrist, but it didn’t leave the slightest mark.

Suddenly, Xia Lingyu was shocked.

This whip couldn’t be withstood even by a normal first rank, yet Chen Xuan caught it just with his physical body, without using any spiritual power.

Just as she wanted to retract the whip.

"Getting a whip on me and then wanting to pull back? Hehe!"

With a light laugh, he tightly grasped the whip, shook it hard, and struck out with a palm.

"Boom!"

Xia Lingyu, who was holding the long whip, was directly shaken and sent flying, and in the next moment, the whip fell into Chen Xuan’s hand.

"You are presumptuous!"

Struggling to stabilize her stance, she shouted angrily, her eyes cold.

No one has ever dared to be so rude in front of her!

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan was amused by her and laughed. Presumptuous?

Just who is being presumptuous!

The moment she showed up, without a word, she gave him a whip, damn it!

She looked like a pretty young lady! Oh, no!

Same generation as Ye Yilan, so an old woman.

Indeed, a woman is always unreasonable.

"Just a mere Five Layers of Purity, you have no qualification to be arrogant in front of me. This is the first time and also the last, otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you face, you old woman!"

I originally thought, considering she’s Ye Yilan’s superior, to speak nicely, also giving some face.

Unexpectedly, she was shameless!

Then don’t blame me for being rude.

Calling her an old woman directly, his words were indeed vicious enough.

Sure enough,

As soon as the words "old woman" were out!

Xia Lingyu’s face turned dark like ice, her whole body emanating a strong killing intent.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Ye Yilan quickly came between the two, first glaring at Chen Xuan, then looking at Xia Lingyu with a smile, "Your Highness Princess, this brat means no harm, you are generous, don’t mind him!"

"Princess? Xia Yi’s daughter?"

No wonder she’s even more arrogant than him! Because of her identity.

At this moment, Qi Lin hurriedly arrived here, just hearing Xia Lingyu’s tone, he knew trouble would occur, but didn’t expect it to happen so quickly!

Especially with Chen Xuan’s words, "old woman"!

Xia Lingyu’s most taboo is this, this brat’s mouth is really sharp!

"Your Highness Princess, please calm your anger, calm your anger, this is a public place, it’s not good for the image. Let’s first go back, Your Highness how about..."

"Hmph! Just you wait!"

Leaving a fierce remark, she flew away to the distance.

"Phew—"

Qi Lin wiped the sweat off his forehead, really afraid of this princess going berserk.

"Can you not cause trouble, if not, just go back." Qi Lin was truly at a loss for words.

Just arrived at Guhe Commandery, and this brat couldn’t stay quiet.

And now he even provoked Xia Lingyu.

No wonder Ye Jing was worried about conflict between the two, wasn’t it! It’s been proven now.

"Old Man Qi, I got whipped for no reason, didn’t even retaliate, what did I say." Chen Xuan was very unhappy, damn it, being whipped for no reason, and now everyone blames him.

Even Ye Yilan just glared at him.

This is outrageous!

"Hey, can you give the whip to me, old man?"

Qi Lin was truly exhausted, not even minding being called Old Man Qi, stretching out his hand for the whip.

That was Xia Lingyu’s spiritual treasure, bestowed by His Majesty!

"It’s my trophy. If you want it, she should come and get it herself." The next moment, he vanished into thin air.

Thinking he could get the whip back with just one word, not so easy.

This woman was so fierce, if he wasn’t strong enough, that whip would have done him in.

"You—"

Qi Lin was so exasperated, he almost shut down, then he glared fiercely at Ye Yilan, "You created this mess, you fix it!"

"I....."

Ye Yilan was speechless.

Is this even his fault?

Back in the room, Chen Xuan sat there playing with Xia Lingyu’s whip.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

After a few swings in the air, the room was instantly filled with the sound of a whip cracking.

"Alright, give me the whip!"

Ye Yilan returned to the room and asked for the whip right away.

"Alright, you should eat, drink, and if you’re really bored, focus on cultivation. Leave this matter alone."

Clearly, the whip wasn’t going to be returned to her that easily.

"You! She’s the princess of Great Xia, the only daughter of Your Majesty, don’t cause trouble." Ye Yilan was truly at a loss with him.

But seeing his demeanor, he was not going to rest until he stirred up some trouble.

"Alright, my father-in-law, your son-in-law knows what he’s doing, don’t worry."

Chen Xuan continued playing with the whip, reassuring him with a gesture.

"Sigh!"

Ye Yilan let out a faint sigh, "Do as you please, but don’t go overboard."

"Hmm!"

But just as he was about to return to his room, Chen Xuan asked, "What’s her name?"

"Xia Lingyu."

The name is good, but the person isn’t that great.

...

Three days passed like a blur.

The whip was still in Chen Xuan’s hand, and Xia Lingyu hadn’t shown up again.

"Did this old woman forget it?"

He casually tossed it onto a table nearby.

"The princess is only in her thirties, you brat, watch your mouth." Ye Yilan said helplessly from the side.

Calling her an old woman and such.

It’s no wonder Xia Lingyu was furious back then; after all, no matter how strong or high her status, she still was a woman.

Which woman wouldn’t be offended being called an old woman right to her face?

"Father-in-law, do you have ideas?"

"Get lost! You rascal."

Ye Yilan glared at him fiercely, daring him to say such things.

Then—

He warned him sternly, "Boy, don’t think just because you’re strong now, you can do whatever you want, but to be honest, at least the Dark Guard has ways to deal with you."

This boy was getting too full of himself.

He needed a good wake-up call, or there would definitely be trouble in the future.

"Is the Dark Guard that strong?"

Chen Xuan saw he wasn’t joking and immediately asked.

"The Dark Guard is very strong! There are two as strong as Xia Lingyu. Of course, even if the three of them together may not be your match, but if all the Dark Guards form a grand array, then it’s hard to say."

"Moreover—"

At this point, Ye Yilan seemed hesitant, but finally spoke slowly, "Besides Your Majesty, Great Xia has two people who can harness the National Spirit. Qi Lin is one, and the other is Xia Lingyu!"

"Not only that, I suspect, if Your Majesty doesn’t show up, the National Spirit will definitely appear!"

He learned about Xia Lingyu’s ability to harness the National Spirit by accident.

"Is that so...."

Chen Xuan murmured softly.

If she really can harness the National Spirit, then it’s hard to say.

But—

He just didn’t believe Xia Lingyu would harness Great Xia’s National Spirit to deal with him, that thing was definitely meant for dealing with Zhou Zheng.

"Sigh, still not strong enough!"

Chen Xuan said somewhat helplessly.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yilan felt like slapping himself; it seemed he had wasted his breath.

"Rest assured, I know what I’m doing."

"You have....."

"Knock knock knock...."

At that moment, a knocking sound interrupted the two.

"Who is it?"

Chen Xuan couldn’t be bothered to sense, simply asked out loud.

"There’s news passed on by the master."

A deep voice came in, and immediately Chen Xuan went to the door and opened it.

At the door stood a middle-aged man.

"This is for you, I’ll take my leave now."

The man quickly took out a letter from his bosom and was about to leave but was stopped by Chen Xuan, "This is for you!"

With those words, he tossed over a porcelain bottle.

The man didn’t open it, pocketed it directly, thanked him, and quickly left.

Chen Xuan returned to the room.

He opened the letter, and saw written on it, "The person has been found! Zhou Yi!"

At that moment,

Ye Yilan also stretched his head over to look.

When he saw the words ’Zhou Yi’, his face changed instantly.

"Boy you....?"

He was really afraid this boy would betray Great Xia and align with Great Zhou to trap Great Xia?

Not that he was overly loyal to Great Xia, just fearing it was too dangerous.

Could he withstand it?

"What are you thinking about? Do I look that foolish? Involve myself in the affairs of these two families? Just asked Zhou Yi to help find someone, that’s all!"

"I see!"

Ye Yilan was relieved.

"But you still need to be careful, Shentsudong is not invincible, if the space is suppressed, it will be troublesome."

On the side, Xuan Er also reminded him.

Last time, when he recklessly went to Yonghe Commandery, if Chen Xuan hadn’t arrived quickly, he really would have been trapped.

"I will! I’ll go on a trip first!"

Then with one step, he left the room.

When he appeared again, he was already in Donghuang Commandery.

"Grandpa, oh grandpa, have you really found it."

Long time no see, at this moment Chen Xuan’s heart was filled with excitement.
