"Alas!"
With a sigh in his heart, the head of the Chief Eunuch felt heavy.
...
In the side hall of the Ritual Department, Chen Xuan sat quietly.
As for Kang Bai, he went to see Liu Sheng.
In the study.
Liu Sheng was writing, which was his only hobby.
He put down the pen and admired his masterpiece, his lips curling up slightly.
"Chief Eunuch!"
At this moment, Kang Baiâs voice came into the study.
Suddenly, Liu Shengâs brows furrowed, his good mood vanishing instantaneously, and he looked towards the entrance of the study to see Kang Bai walking in, looking flustered.
"Whatâs the matter? Why are you so flustered? What kind of conduct is this!"
Liu Sheng scolded loudly.
As the future leader of the Ritual Department, such poor disposition really made him disappointed.
Faced with his reprimand, Kang Bai couldnât care less about the scolding at this moment and hurriedly said, "That boy has caused trouble again!"
At these words, Liu Shengâs frown deepened.
"Which boy? Speak clearly, is the sky falling?"
He spoke, glaring at him fiercely with his aged eyes.
"Itâs Prince Xuan, that boy Xuan Er, this time... he even captured someone from the Shadow Guard and brought them to the Ritual Department."
Kang Bai had a look of worry on his face.
The Shadow Guard was bound to come seeking trouble with the Ritual Department over this matter.
"What?"
Liu Sheng was also moved, "Captured someone from the Shadow Guard?"
"Are you sure thereâs no mistake?"
"No, they had rings representing the Shadow Guard on their hands, I wouldnât mistake that."
Kang Bai immediately replied.
"Damn, that troublesome boy."
Liu Sheng cursed at once, feeling the headache.
He certainly knows how to cause trouble for him.
Why didnât that boy hand them over to the Three Judicial Departments?
Why bring them here!
"Bastard!"
Feeling unsatisfied, he cursed again angrily.
"Whereâs that boy?"
"In the side hall."
"Hmph!"
Liu Sheng snorted coldly, then left the study in a fury.
...
In the side hall.
Chen Xuan, feeling a bit bored, started to look around.
"Thereâs nothing much here."
He muttered quietly.
Very ordinary, though spacious, except for two rows of chairs, there was nothing else.
"Hmph!"
Just then, an aged voice came from outside.
"Heh heh!"
Chen Xuan chuckled inwardly, it seemed the old man wasnât very welcoming to him.
He then immediately stood up, his gaze fixed on the entrance of the main hall.
He saw Liu Sheng come in with a face full of anger.
"You troublesome little..."
Facing Chen Xuan, Liu Sheng started to curse, but stopped abruptly when he reached the word âlittleâ.
The anger in his old eyes vanished instantly, replaced by shock.
Staring at him intently.
"This is...."
And Chen Xuan, who was about to pay his respects, felt uneasy being stared at and asked weakly, "Chief Eunuch Liu, whatâs wrong with you?"
"Boom!"
A colossal aura erupted from Liu Shengâs body, and he slowly raised a hand, striking towards Chen Xuan.
In an instant!
A massive pressure descended upon Chen Xuan.
And... this pressure was exponentially increasing.
Even his strong physique was struggling to withstand it.
"Chief Eunuch... You....!"
Chen Xuan looked confused, not understanding what he meant by this.
Meeting him with a palm strike right away!
"Boom!"
Liu Sheng did not answer him, instead his aura increased another notch, and at this moment Kang Bai also arrived.
Staring blankly at the scene.
"Whatâs going on? Why would the Chief Eunuch make a move on him?"
It must be known that Liu Sheng adored Qin Ying, and by extension, had a good impression of Chen Xuan as well.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have personally gone to rMolan Mansion to save him last time.
But now... why attack him? To test his strength?
"No!"
Kang Bai denied this in his heart because he could feel that Liu Sheng didnât seem to have any intention of restraining himself, his aura kept escalating.
It was already reaching above fifty percent strength.
He was one of Great Yuâs top Martial Dao experts, fifty percent strength... and... looking towards Chen Xuan.
Only at the Dao Realm fifth level.
Right now his face was completely twisted.
"Good lad, not even using Spiritual Power at this point, this physique... really is absurdly strong."
Kang Bai was also in shock.
He was a genius too, top class, and even gained advanced rules in the Land of Burials, otherwise Liu Sheng wouldnât have taken notice of him.
But... in the same realm, he had to admit, he was not as good as Chen Xuan.
"Boom!"
Sixty percent!
Liu Sheng was also incredibly surprised, didnât expect this boy could withstand fifty percent of his strength.
"Truly a monster!"
"No wonder YingâEr took a liking to him."
He couldnât help but admire in his heart.
With sixty percent strength from Liu Sheng, Chen Xuan could no longer endure, and at this moment, his spiritual power erupted fiercely.
Although he didnât know Liu Shengâs intention, he must have sensed some anomaly.
Which is why he didnât use his spiritual power all along.
But now he had no choice, if he didnât use it, he felt he was about to be flattened by this overwhelming pressure.
"Indeed!"
Liu Sheng muttered inwardly.
Then instantly withdrew that palm, and the aura on his body also subsided rapidly.
"Huff huff huff...."
Chen Xuan bent slightly, panting heavily.
At this moment, sweat was pouring off him like rain, not just from his forehead, but even his back was completely soaked.
When Liu Sheng unleashed sixty percent of his strength earlier, even using his spiritual power, he felt suffocated.
Another moment and he really wouldnât have been able to withstand it.
Luckily, Liu Sheng withdrew at the last moment.
"Let that boy dare to cause trouble for this old man again."
Liu Sheng walked by him and said coldly.
"Chief Eunuch, you nearly took this boyâs life."
Chen Xuan said with a mournful face, feeling wronged.
"Serves you right!"
Liu Sheng sat above, glaring at him fiercely.
"Reckless and ignorant, you dare capture people from the Shadow Guard, do you even know who they belong to?"
"What Shadow Guard?"
"Itâs really a misunderstanding, I truly donât know."
Chen Xuan was determined not to admit it no matter what.
