“Then I’ll spare that beast’s life, as a courtesy to Mr. Qi!”
“Everyone, I apologize for the intrusion. Ordinary methods wouldn’t suffice, so I had to resort to this to trouble you, my seniors!”
“If I knew it was you, my seniors, I wouldn’t have been so reckless!”
Qi Jing Chun chuckled, “It’s alright!”
Old Yang also said, “Kid, be more careful next time!”
San Shan Jiu Hou smiled amiably, “Sui Nian, don’t be so reckless next time!”
Since the saints and the most powerful individuals with the highest seniority who resided here had spoken, no one had any objections.
They all left the place, and Chen Sui Nian bowed to the Li family’s direction.
Li Xi Sheng shook his head with a bitter smile. This junior brother Chen Sui Nian was truly… His reputation lived up to the hype.
Right at the end, Chen Sui Nian suddenly asked, “Is Mr. Zou not here?”
San Shan Jiu Hou asked with confusion, “What do you want with Mr. Zou?”
Chen Sui Nian projected a screen, laughing, “I wanted to ask him why he was looking for my little brother.”
Old Yang looked at the screen. He already knew the truth in his heart and chuckled, “Coincidence?”
Chen Sui Nian waved his hand, retracting the image and laughing, “Right, just a coincidence!”
Old Yang suddenly cautioned Chen Sui Nian, “I know you want to stir up trouble, but calm down for now! Otherwise, I’ll definitely stop you!”
Chen Sui Nian sneered, “Come on, why don’t you just kill me?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about? This is called Hao Ran, not Heaven!”
Old Yang remained silent, unconcerned with Chen Sui Nian’s attitude. Instead, he continued, “Then can I use this favor?”
Chen Sui Nian said, “Sure.”
Old Yang said, “Good, then you absolutely cannot go crazy! Especially in situations like this.”
Chen Sui Nian asked, “What if I have something that requires your intervention?”
Old Yang said, “I’ll intervene.”
Chen Sui Nian asked, “What if we both don’t act recklessly? You do your thing, I do mine. As long as we don’t interfere with each other’s plans, is that alright?”
Old Yang said, “Alright.”
Chen Sui Nian beamed with a radiant smile, “Deal!”
Everyone then left, leaving behind Chen Sui Nian and Lu Chen. Chen Sui Nian said to Lu Chen, “Lu Chen, help me with something!”
Lu Chen said, “What help? Let me hear it first before I decide if I’ll help!”
Chen Sui Nian said, “Come over and support me for a bit?”
“Huh?”
“Huh your big head! Hurry up and come support me, I’m going to collapse!”
Lu Chen hurriedly went over to support him. Chen Sui Nian was completely drained, his magic power exhausted.
Lu Chen asked with confusion, “What happened to you?”
Chen Sui Nian glanced at Lu Chen. He didn’t even want to answer this idiot’s question.
He gestured for Lu Chen to cast a spell to obscure the celestial secrets, and Lu Chen obliged. Chen Sui Nian transmitted his voice through mental telepathy.
“Damn it, you think I could really just casually kill a Peak-Thirteen Realm ancient spirit? No matter how much external power and formations I use, I’m still just an Eleventh Realm!”
“I only wanted to see who was behind this. I was hoping to lure out Zou Zi, then give him a good scolding, vent some anger for my little brother, and finally take advantage of the situation!”
“But, damn it, I didn’t expect that there were actually Peak-Fourteen Realm ancient spirits here, along with several Peak-Thirteen Realm ancient spirits!”
“Not only that, but your senior brother is also here?”
“And San Shan Jiu Hou is actually here too?”
“Not to mention Zou Zi, Qi Jing Chun, and the rest!”
“I never thought that Peak-Fourteen Realm experts, a rare occurrence every thousand years in the outside world, would be walking around here! Peak-Thirteen Realms are like dogs!”
“Finally, you think I really wanted to spare that old geezer?”
“It’s because I couldn’t kill him that I took the opportunity to earn a favor from Old Yang!”
“I’m arrogant, but I’m not stupid! All of that was for show! I have to thank San Shan Jiu Hou, you, Kou Shi Xiong, and Qi Jing Chun for being here, otherwise I might have suffered some injustice.”
“But! In the end! I still didn’t expect the waters in this town to run so deep. I’m relying on — I’m damn#@*%…*”
In the end, Chen Sui Nian swore loudly. Lu Chen stood aside, holding back laughter. He couldn’t help himself anymore, “Hahaha, I thought you, Chen Sui Nian, were fearless!”
“I told you earlier, the water is deep, very deep!”
“You wouldn’t listen. Now, are you satisfied?!”
Chen Sui Nian sighed helplessly, “I thought it was just a simple “蛟化龙” (Jiao Transformed into Dragon) situation. I didn’t realize it was a “龙潭” (Dragon Pool) situation! Dragons everywhere!”
“Forget it, it’s fine. I achieved my goal! I wanted to see the people behind this, and now I have a general idea. I also know what I can do!”
“Although I seemed imposing just now, my legs were actually trembling when I saw all those people coming.”
Lu Chen laughed, “Sigh, I told you the water is deep!”
“Forget it, go home and wait for the Li Zhu to land peacefully!”
Lu Chen supported Chen Sui Nian back to Chen Ping An’s house. In a place Lu Chen couldn’t see, a golden glow appeared in Chen Sui Nian’s eyes, then turned purple and disappeared.
As Chen Sui Nian walked, he stubbornly insisted, “How can I not get involved? Tell me, did I achieve my goal in the end?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“I’ll just overturn the table! I’ll have my senior brother come and clean up the mess! I’ll just not go out for a few hundred years and focus on reading!”
“A strategist enters the game with his own life!”
Lu Chen played along, “Meeting a tragic end?”
Chen Sui Nian didn’t say anything but silently operated his cultivation technique, absorbing spiritual energy. This time, I really underestimated things!
Lu Chen’s mouth was only for eating and insulting others.
The cultivators outside relaxed after sensing that the spiritual energy had stabilized.
The townspeople were the same. Seeing that the houses were not destroyed, just a false alarm, they also relaxed.
Chen Ping An and Ning Yao saw that the town had stopped shaking. After that, Ruan Tie Jiang returned. Ruan Xiu asked, Dad, what happened?
Ruan Tie Jiang glanced at Ning Yao and Chen Ping An and said, “It’s fine, everything’s alright!”
Ruan Tie Jiang looked at Ruan Xiu again and said, “Did you not like what your dad cooked?”
Ruan Xiu felt a little nervous, “No, I did!”
“Then why did you go to Chen Ping An’s house to eat?”
Ruan Xiu froze. Who said that? Who said that?
“Dad, I didn’t!”
“You eat a lot. You should bring some food back when you eat over there. Otherwise, it looks bad!”
“Dad — I…”
Ruan Xiu blushed and her eyes were filled with tears.
Ruan Tie Jiang hurriedly said, “No, no, your dad got it wrong. Your dad heard it from someone else. It’s all that person’s fault!”
Ruan Xiu turned her head away and refused to look at her dad.
Ruan Tie Jiang cursed inwardly. Oh no! This damn mouth!
Chen Ping An and Ning Yao told Ruan Tie Jiang that they were going home to eat first and would come back later in the afternoon.
Ruan Tie Jiang nodded. Ruan Xiu, who was still angry, saw Chen Ping An and Ning Yao leave and silently walked in their direction.
“Xiu Xiu? Where are you going? Xiu Xiu…”
Ruan Xiu didn’t say anything. Did that bad person tell Dad? And Dad is also a bad person. How can you say such things about a girl? They are all bad people!
Right, what did Chen Sui Nian’s house have for lunch today? I still want to eat those pastries!
Is Chen Sui Nian alright? If something happened to him, then I wouldn’t be able to eat those delicious pastries anymore. No, no!
Ruan Xiu shook her head vigorously. Don’t think about such inauspicious things. But she felt that the earthquake today was definitely related to Chen Sui Nian!
Those talismans and formations were definitely Chen Sui Nian’s doing!
When Chen Ping An and Ning Yao returned home, they didn’t enter Chen Sui Nian’s courtyard, but went directly to Chen Ping An’s courtyard.
They suddenly had a bad feeling and hurriedly pushed open the door. They saw Chen Sui Nian lying on the old wooden bed.
Ning Yao and Chen Ping An went to Chen Sui Nian’s side and saw that his face was pale, his eyes closed, and his breath was weak.
Lu Chen was sitting beside him, leisurely reading a book.
Chen Ping An worriedly asked, “What’s wrong with my brother?”
Lu Chen said, “Nothing.”
Chen Ping An asked, “What happened?”
Lu Chen said, “None of your business.”
Chen Ping An shook his head speechlessly. This Lu Chen Daoist… is exactly like my brother, greedy for life and afraid of death, a bully, and a playboy!
Ruan Xiu, who arrived shortly after, saw Chen Sui Nian lying on the old bed. She was stunned as if struck by lightning, then ran to Chen Sui Nian’s side.
Ruan Xiu’s voice even had a crying tone, “Chen Sui Nian, Chen Sui Nian, don’t die. If you die, what about my pastries? I haven’t had enough yet. What about my rice wine brew?”
Ruan Xiu shook him as she spoke. In her heart, she even felt a little self-blame. She had always been like this. If she worried about someone or something, it would always come true!
Chen Sui Nian, who was calming his mind, operating his cultivation technique to recover his magic power, and wholeheartedly comprehending the formations set up by San Shan Jiu Hou and Old Yang, suddenly felt dizzy.
Chen Sui Nian’s voice was weak and full of helplessness, “Miss Ruan, if you shake me again, I might really die!”
PS: Three chapters in one day! I wrote it this way for a reason. How could an Eleventh Realm dare to yell and shout in Li Zhu Cave Heaven? That’s because the protagonist has a powerful background (mysterious background), many friends (Lu Chen, San Shan Jiu Hou, Li Xi Sheng’s influence), and a good talent (future Fifteenth Realm). That’s why he could do that, and he also thought that this was just a small Li Zhu Cave Heaven!
The Li Zhu Cave Heaven in Jian Lai, you don’t know this is the strongest newbie village in the novel world, do you? The most important thing is that the combat power cannot collapse!
Same as before, in my Li Zhu Cave Heaven, even a dragon must lie down, even a tiger must crawl!
