Chapter 529 (Grandpa)
Hearing Duan Hou''s words, Chen Xuanzongughed. "After all, I, Chen Xuanzong, will be the head of the family sooner orter. Why seek shortcuts?"
Duan Hou frowned after a while and, under the veil, her face moved slightly. "Chen Xuanzong, I think you have potential, so I came here to invite you personally. Don''t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
"Chen Xuanzong, I will tell you the truth. I will not fight against the Voidless Realm. Whoever dares to disrespect it, don''t me me for being rude!" Chen Xuanzong, a demon emperor, has his own majesty.
Knowing that Qing Ya was with the Emperor, Chen Xuanzong wouldn''t allow anyone to bully her or the ce she was living at. He wille to her rescue even in the remotest corners of the world, even if it means sacrificing his life.
Duan Hou snorted coldly, "Okay! Very good! After this is over, no one will be able to save your Chen family!" She turned and left after uttering these words. Chen Xuanzong was unaffected by Duan Hou''s threats and appeared calm. After Duan Hou left, he looked toward the Emperor''s bedroom. This was not to look at the Emperor, but at Qing Ya, the woman he had always liked.
Even if Qing Ya is now pregnant with Long Aotian''s child, he will not give up on her. He will use his life to protect her and ensure she isn''t hurt in the slightest. No one can hurt the woman he loves.
In a row of inns in the south, in a in room, a young man sat cross-legged on a bed, his hands on his knees. He exuded a faint golden light. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "It seems that devouring is not enough... When will it end?"
This was Qi Xuewen, who had rescued an Arowana before. After the banquet incident, he didn''t have the face to pursue Tang Wei and instead devoted himself to devouring all kinds of fish in the sea.
He has since be a rising star in the south, ranking first. He came to participate in the martial artspetition to exercise himself and, if possible, get a longevity fruit. He has heard that the longevity fruit can improve skills and prolong life, so he wants to get one.
There was a knock on the door, and Qi Xuewen went to open it with a smile. The man outside was around the same age and had a rough appearance. He smiled and asked, "Brother Qi, how do you feel?"
Qi Xuewen smiled and replied, "Comrade Xin Ba, are you teasing me again?"
Xin Ba patted Qi Xuewen on the shoulder and grinned, "Haha, brother Qi is really good at joking, how could Ie to tease you? I just came to see you."
Qi Xuewen and Xin Ba met at a banquet and hit it off because they didn''t like the kind of scene it was. Both being from new families, forming an alliance was a good idea. They sat at a round wooden table, and Qi Xuewen poured Xin Ba a ss of water.
Xin Ba was smiling, but he was talking to an old man in his mind. He wondered if this was the legend of having a grandpa with him. Xin Ba still remembered the jade pendant he had bought for ten yuan at the antique market. Suddenly, one night, a man who imed to be a crazy old man appeared in his mind. This man had helped Xin Ba be a powerful warrior and helped him seek revenge after he grew stronger.
The whole experience felt like a novel, making Xin Ba doubt its reality. However, after several years of knowing him, the crazy old man felt like a grandfather to Xin Ba. He had be a patriarch, climbing the ranks step by step.
But as the old man said, this is just the beginning.
"Xin Ba," the crazy old man said in his mind, "you should make friends with the person in front of you. He is blessed by the dragon and will be a powerful ally for you in the future."
"Crazy old man," Xin Ba replied, "I would make friends with Qi Xuewen anyway, even if you didn''t tell me. Making a good friend is rare."
The crazy old man sighed, "Xin Ba, you must be careful in everything you do. I''ve seen too many things like this."
"Crazy old man, it''s tiring to be careful when making friends," Xin Ba said with a sigh. He was kind and simple, which made the crazy old man helpless. This type of personality was hard to mix with, and Xin Ba was easily deceived.
The crazy old man sighed again, "It''s up to you. You need to be extra careful in thispetition. I have a feeling that the drunkard''s intention isn''t just to drink, and something big is about to happen." [drunkard''s intention isn''t just to drink→ the front is just a facade, and a conspiracy is brewing.]
"I understand," Xin Ba said.
The conversation ended, for the moment, as they continued to drink tea.
"Brother Qi," Xin Ba said with a grin, "I''m still a little excited. This used to be the territory of the southern giants."
Qi Xuewen looked calmer and replied, "Yes, the destruction of the Ji family is also full of mysteries. The south is veryplicated. You should be careful, Xin Ba."
Hearing such advice, Xin Ba was grateful. This was the support of friends.
"Brother Qi," Xin Ba said, "you too. I heard that this martial artspetition is unusual and something may happen."
"That''s right," Qi Xuewen said, worried. "The families and aristocrats in the north are making a lot of noise. I''m afraid something will happen. But for now, I''m powerless against the giants. Maybe in a few years, I''ll be able to sit with them on equal footing."
Xin Ba drank the tea in one gulp and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, don''t worry. Our Ying Family from the south is alsoing today. Will the Voidless Realm still dare to attack us?"
"Yes, the Ying Family has a very powerful presence," Qi Xuewen said, relieved. "For now, I can only develop and not be a sacrificial pawn."
Xin Ba said in a low voice, "Actually, I can see the Emperor. This trip will be worth it."
"You boy!" Qi Xuewen smiled and patted Xin Ba on the shoulder.
"The love of beauty is a responsibility for everyone," Xin Ba said with a carefree attitude. "If you don''t appreciate it, then you''re not a man."
