Chapter 426 - 332 Dao Realm Level 5_2

"Imperial Brother!"

Qin Ying was quite displeased, especially since the thin layer of paper between her and Chen Xuan hadn’t been pierced yet.

If he were to meddle, and suppose... she just supposes... if Chen Xuan disagrees, wouldn’t it be dreadfully embarrassing?

"You can see him, but don’t say anything reckless!"

"What are you two... doing?"

This left Qin Hong utterly baffled.

"So, is it possible or not?"

Qin Ying acted like a little woman, coyly whining.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Is that okay now?"

He shook his head helplessly.

What was all this about? He was growing increasingly curious about Chen Xuan—what kind of charm could turn the dignified Princess Great Yu into such a state?

"Alright then, I’ll go call him."

As she spoke, she left the room, though she still felt a bit worried inside.

And at this moment, Chen Xuan happened to arrive in the main hall.

As they met each other’s gaze.

"Come on, someone wants to see you!"

Before Chen Xuan could speak, Luan Ying piped up first, asking, "Who?"

"Alright, if it’s not something you should ask, then don’t ask!"

Chen Xuan patted her little head.

"Hmph, I won’t ask if you don’t want me to!"

Luan Ying rubbed the spot he had just patted, quite dissatisfied, "You’re making me dumb!"

"Haha! Then let your husband rub it for you!"

Chen Xuan’s large hand massaged the area a few times, and then he followed Qin Ying out of the room.

"Be careful."

At the door, Qin Ying whispered a reminder to him.

"Oh!"

He responded simply to her, then pushed open the door and entered.

There he saw Qin Hong looking at him with a cheerful expression.

"So, he’s the Fourth Prince!"

Chen Xuan murmured in his mind. At first glance, he could be considered an ideal type for women, plus there was an indescribable aura about him that made him seem perfect.

As expected from a prince of Great Yu, even if he lacked strength, his looks were more than sufficient.

"Greetings... Fourth Prince!"

Chen Xuan gave a slight bow.

"Haha, sit down."

Qin Hong said with a smile. From the moment Chen Xuan pushed open the door, Qin Hong’s gaze had been appraising him.

It clearly felt like a Late-Stage Profound Realm, but in reality, it was the Dao Realm.

To hide that from him indeed showed some extraordinary aspects.

No wonder his sister had taken a liking to him.

"Thank you!"

Chen Xuan slowly sat down, and as Qin Ying was about to sit down behind him, Qin Hong spoke, "You, step out first. I want to talk with him."

"Imperial Brother!"

Qin Ying furrowed her brows, clearly displeased.

"Behave!"

Qin Hong’s tone became a bit more forceful, and his presence alone, commanding, could intimidate without anger.

Even Qin Ying felt a bit guilty looking at him.

Though Qin Hong indulged her, there were certain times and matters where there was no room for negotiation.

Like now.

"Alright, you go on out! The Fourth Prince isn’t some man-eating tiger, there’s nothing to worry about."

Chen Xuan deliberately teased.

"Fine!"

Qin Ying nodded but gave Qin Hong a glance before leaving.

The glance meant to remind him to be mindful.

However, he completely ignored it.

"Hmph!"

Even though he was her Imperial Brother, Qin Ying expressed her dissatisfaction with a cold snort.

Now the room had only the two of them.

"You’re the first to compare this prince to such a lowly demon beast as a tiger."

Qin Hong said with interest.

"For ordinary people, a tiger is already very powerful. Besides, it was just a metaphor."

Chen Xuan shrugged, quite nonchalant.

"Where are you from?"

Qin Hong did not pursue the matter further and instead inquired about his background.

"Jiuding County, just a very remote county."

These were details Qin Ke had already arranged, so there would be no issues.

"I have some impression of it!"

"But for such a small county to produce a Dao Realm expert, and not just any Dao Realm, truly is astonishing."

Qin Hong’s eyes were fixed on him, inwardly dubious.

He wasn’t as simple as Qin Ying.

As a prince, without a bit of cunning, he would have been played to death by his imperial brothers and siblings long ago.

"I don’t find it strange."

"Everyone has their secrets, don’t they?"

"Right? Fourth Prince."

Chen Xuan smiled and countered.

"There’s some truth in that, but..."

As he spoke, his tone shifted, becoming dignified, the smile on his face disappearing,

"No matter who you are, what background, or strength, I don’t care about any of that."

"But..."

Qin Hong’s tone became more stern, "If you dare hurt Qin Ying, no matter where you are, I won’t let you go!"

"We’ll see! It’s not like there’s anything definite between us yet, besides... you don’t seem to have the final say over her matters anyway!"

Qin Hong was quite surprised.

It wasn’t the scene he imagined, where Chen Xuan would be terrified and promise to treat Qin Ying well.

On the contrary, it was relaxed, even teasing him.

The man his sister had taken a liking to really was somewhat unconventional.

"Alright, I’ve said what needs to be said. As for the rest, there’s nothing more to discuss. About the Nine Immortals Tower, I assume she’s told you. I’ll notify you when the time comes."

With that, he stood up and left the room.

Outside, Qin Ying looked very anxious at the moment. The conversation within had been isolated by her Imperial Brother, and she couldn’t hear a thing.

As soon as Chen Xuan came out, she immediately walked over, nervously asking, "How was it? He didn’t give you a hard time, did he?"

With just those two short sentences, Chen Xuan’s lips curved upward.

"No, the Fourth Prince is quite nice; you have a good brother."

He’s nice?

She knew her brother, didn’t she?

As a prince of Great Yu, wasn’t each one ruthless?

Qin Ying wanted to inquire further, but Chen Xuan cut her off, saying, "Ask him if he wants to join us for dinner tonight. I’m heading back to rest. I haven’t been resting well these past few days; I’m a bit tired."

With that, he directly walked to his room.

Qin Ying froze for a moment, but the next moment, she angrily stormed into her room.
