Lingyin Temple “As long as Xuanyuan Young Clan Leader is satisfied, I have already been discussing your wedding date with the Xuanyuan Clan Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you are here today, I’ll go and have someone call Yanran over so you two can have a good chat and foster your feelings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Teng began to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need, I will go see Miss Dongfang myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong shook his head as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a peach blossom-filled courtyard of the Eastern Clan, Dongfang Yanran was wearing a yellow long dress, her delicate features as exquisite as a celestial being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her waterfall-like hair draped over her shoulders as she sat at a round table, admiring the peach blossoms blooming in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, this scene, together with the existence of Dongfang Yanran, who was as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, was truly picturesque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like the flowers, as is the person, truly complementing each other, what a splendid scene of a beauty amid peach blossoms!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong walked in and lightly spoke, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuanyuan Young Clan Leader, what brings you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Yanran looked at Xuanyuan Hong as he appeared, a trace of an unusual expression flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Dongfang doesn’t welcome my presence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong sat down beside Dongfang Yanran and said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young clan leader of the Xuanyuan Clan, a hidden Chosen One, why wouldn’t I welcome you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Yanran spoke with a breath as soft as orchids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanran, it won’t be long before our two families are united in marriage, and then you will be my wife, Xuanyuan Hong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong looked at Dongfang Yanran and spoke directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Yanran said with a calm expression, “Young Clan Leader Xuanyuan, although my uncle has agreed to an alliance with your Xuanyuan Clan, I have not yet agreed, and I’m not afraid to tell you that I actually have had a betrothal arrangement for a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, it was your father, the former Dong Fang Clan Chief, who made a verbal betrothal agreement with a layman’s Xiao Family member, pledging you to the offspring of this Xiao Family member.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you still plan to marry me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Yanran looked at Xuanyuan Hong with a trace of unusual color in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is just a verbal agreement, and besides, your father has passed away, and that person from the Xiao Family is nowhere to be found; naturally, this marriage agreement doesn’t count.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, with your status as the daughter of the Dongfang Family, how could you possibly be together with a layman’s son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not only an insult to the Eastern Clan but a desecration to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong spoke softly, his expression indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Clan Leader Xuanyuan, this is my business and it has nothing to do with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tell you the truth, I don’t like you, and even if we end up together, it won’t end well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Yanran stood up, her back turned to Xuanyuan Hong, and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe that I, Xuanyuan Hong, will definitely make you fall in love with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that boy you are betrothed to, I am quite curious to meet him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong replied with a smile at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you planning to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Yanran’s face changed, and she turned sharply, her eyes fixed on Xuanyuan Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I won’t kill him, because he’s not even worthy of my doing so!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong laughed softly, looking down on the boy betrothed to Dongfang Yanran with contempt, clearly not taking him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanran, you better prepare to be my bride.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Hong left the courtyard after speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope I won’t cause your demise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Yanran murmured to herself, the image of encountering Xiao Yifeng at school that day crossing her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>China, Lingyin Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a magnificent hall, beneath a gilded statue of Buddha, an old monk dressed in a red kasaya with nine disciplinary scars on his head was sitting on a meditation cushion, eyes tightly closed, silently muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was none other than Wu Nian, the Abbot of Lingyin Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, in meditation again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you find it boring to chant sutras all day and night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young monk wearing monastic robes burst in, grinning from ear to ear—it was Qijie, the supremely libidinous monk whom Xiao Yifeng had encountered in Japan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qijie, you’ve come out of seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your strength has improved nicely, but this is a place for honoring Buddha, not for frivolity and smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such behavior is against the precepts—kneel down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nian commanded in a solemn voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qijie pouted and knelt on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qijie, your strength has increased by quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whereabouts of the relics from Douzhan Shengfo have been discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, you and a few elders will head there together in search of the tomb of Douzhan Shengfo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must enter and receive the spiritual inheritance of the Holy Buddha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Douzhan Shengfo was a Buddhadharma Mahātmā of his time, with a power that reached the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should you inherit his teachings, you will ascend and greatly enhance your strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will also bring glory to our Lingyin Temple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nian gazed at Qijie with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qijie nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, this time Mingwang Temple and Jialye Temple will also be involved, and possibly other powers from the Martial Arts World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t be easy for you to obtain this spiritual inheritance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nian said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You gotta be kidding, Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re making me compete with so many people for this inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re really putting me in a tough spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many forces vying for it, I could be taken out at any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qijie grimaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you pretty well, kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t want to die, and it won’t be that easy for you to die either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with elders and several heads accompanying you this time, you don’t have to worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nian spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, you must remember not to be reckless when you leave the mountains this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Nian cautioned once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qijie replied, his lips curling into a mischievous smile as a strange light flickered in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yanjing, within a villa at Xiangxie Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yifeng was practicing in his room with twenty-five starlight-infused Flying Daggers arrayed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within his brain, his soul—transformed into starlight—was pulsating with a luminous gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was daytime, a mighty stream of Star Energy was still descending from the Cang Qiong, seeping into Xiao Yifeng’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since his soul experienced a metamorphosis during the melodic ordeal in the Tianyin Sect, transforming into its current state, Xiao Yifeng felt the speed of absorbing Star Energy had increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the amount of energy he absorbed was several times greater than before, and he could draw in copious Star Energy for cultivation even during the daytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dramatically accelerated Xiao Yifeng’s cultivation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an indeterminate amount of time, the ringing of his cellphone suddenly broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ceased his practice, pulled out his phone, and saw it was a call from Zhang Xinlan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Xinlan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yifeng answered the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yifeng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoarse, aged voice emerged from the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s Xinlan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yifeng’s brow furrowed, his countenance turning grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Situ Lie, father of the debilitated Situ Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to see this young beauty, come to the Situ Family alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you won’t see her again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, Situ Lie hung up the call.\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-03T07:10:49.518Z","2026-06-03T07:10:46.817Z",1,"novelbin.me","f25c18d1213088cf3e9e1d523ea27011a1db00dec36b6cde6d0f8eb3453f5972","beautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-chapter-1082","beautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-chapter-1080",2367,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeautiful-ceo-s-top-martial-expert-cover.jpg"]
