Chapter 151: Li Hou

It was as if time had frozen at this moment.

Xia Chiyi's skin, as smooth as congealed fat, actually broke out in a layer of fine goosebumps from the shock.

Destroying a Fifth-Stage Ancient Divine Malice.

Reaching the limit of thirty-six Force Patterns, on the same level as Lu Xunyang.

And even creating a unique Qingqiong Grade C-Class True Intent method?

Any one of these three things would make her feel shocked.

But this time, they appeared on one person all at once.

How old was Chen Yan again?

A sense of dizziness floated into Xia Chiyi's brain.

She hung up the phone.

Xia Chiyi gripped the phone; that seemingly slender and fair hand looked as if it could crush the phone in an instant.

"Shen Yiwei, you..."

Xia Chiyi bit her red lips with her teeth and stood up with a clatter.

Shen Yiwei is too hateful.

As his Secretary, she had personally come to Yunmeng City, yet the other party had actually bypassed her with such important news.

"Miss, do you want to..."

Xiao Qing, who was to the side, spoke up.

"Go find Chen Yan!"

"Miss, that Chen Yan..." Xiao Qing pursed her red lips:

"His surname is Chen."

If Chen Yan has such talent, the Xia Imperial Clan will value him, but the Five Clans will value him too.

Why wouldn't Chen Yan go to the Chen Family?

Xia Chiyi was stunned, then spoke in a low voice:

"Go see him first.

He was so insidiously harmed by the Chen Clan; what the Chen Clan brought him was nothing but tragedy.

The Five Clans are eroding the Great Xia; he is of the Chen Family, but born as he is, wasn't he still harmed by the Five Clans?"

Xia Chiyi wasn't entirely certain, but for such a Heavenly Pride, if she didn't try to win him over, she feared she would regret it for a long time.

She walked out the door.

Xia Chiyi went straight to Si Wenyi's Office.

"Siwen Jie, I want to see Chen Yan."

Xia Chiyi spoke.

Si Wenyi's expression changed slightly.

"Siwen Jie, how things are between Shen Yiwei and me is a matter between him and me.

But Chen Yan, in the end, has to climb upward, and you are his colleague."

Xia Chiyi hesitated; she was unclear about the relationship between Chen Yan and Si Wenyi.

…………

Tianbei Fist Tournament.

"Seven-Tier General Star?"

Chi Lao looked at the content on the tablet and exclaimed in surprise:

"Only Seven-Tier?"

To the side, the White Skirt Woman was stunned; what did this "only" mean?

Chi Lao stroked his chin and nodded.

That's right, Chen Yan killing a Half-Step Fourth Stage was only a matter of these past two days; the Xia Imperial Clan was likely still approving the new General Star title.

"I should have gone to see that kid long ago."

Chi Lao murmured.

His heart was very conflicted, and the more conflicted he felt, the more he wanted to give Shen Yiwei a beating.

To have a seventeen-year-old youth face a Malice Crystal alone—are you truly not afraid he will die?

Chi Lao knew Chen Yan wouldn't die, after all, Shen Yiwei was there.

But he would definitely be injured, or even have his Spirit corroded.

Therefore, Chi Lao left.

He couldn't bear to watch a genius have his talent destroyed; if he kept watching, he would definitely have to step in and stop it.

But on the other hand, he also understood Shen Yiwei.

It was like seeing a piece of fine steel; you know that the more force applied, the better the steel will be tempered, but if the force is too great, the steel might be ruined.

Shen Yiwei was the one willing to believe in the quality of the steel.

Chi Lao was the one who wanted the steel to be better, but couldn't bear to strike, and could only turn his back, watching Shen Yiwei do the striking.

"Go to the warehouse and get fifty grams of Will-Solidifying Tea; tomorrow I will go see how that kid is doing."

Chi Lao said with a laugh.

"Fifty grams?" The White Skirt Woman was a bit dazed:

"Isn't that too much?"

This kind of precious medicine that stabilizes the Spirit is priceless and hard to find.

To take out fifty grams at once is truly...

"Chen Yan's will is likely unstable right now, fifty grams is about right," Chi Lao laughed.

"By the way, is there any news about that kid right now?"

"Yes," the White Skirt Woman said.

"This afternoon, he went to the Gong Family with Shen Yiwei, it seems they are going to negotiate..."

Chi Lao was stunned.

"Went to the Gong Family?"

"Yes," the White Skirt Woman nodded.

"It might be related to the matter of Chen Yan being continuously assassinated."

Chi Lao narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin.

"The Gong Family..."

………………

Chen Yan walked slowly within the vast Gong Family estate.

Neither fast nor slow.

He seemed to be admiring the scenery, even watching a butterfly flying around the branches at this moment.

Weeping willows swayed, their branches lightly brushing the Lake Surface, with Yun Xu accompanying them, winding about as lightly as gauze.

It was elusive, at times as dense as cotton wool, at others as thin as light smoke.

Above the Lake Surface, many Gong Family geniuses practicing noticed Chen Yan.

"Seven-Tier General Star... truly impressive."

"It seems he hasn't challenged the Heavenly Pride Ranking yet, but to be rated as a Seven-Tier General Star, entering the top ten would be no problem."

"Is he in the Tianbei Fist Tournament?"

"Haven't seen him."

…………

The crowd discussed.

The news of Chen Yan obtaining the Seven-Tier General Star had just been spread by someone.

Gong Family geniuses were geniuses too, and there was a sense of rivalry in their hearts.

"Wen Xin, have you ever fought that Chen Yan?"

Gong Fanyin looked at Chen Yan by the lake and whispered.

"No."

Chen Yu shook her head; although she was sitting cross-legged in Cultivation Technique, her attention was entirely on Chen Yan.

For some reason, Chen Yu's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

The more indifferent Chen Yan's expression was, the more she felt that what her Brother was suppressing in his heart at this moment was terrifying to the extreme.

Especially since last night, Chen Yan had specifically asked Chen Yu about the location of the people in the shadows.

It was also at this moment.

"Chen Yan, can you fight me?"

A youth's voice rang out on the shore, and all the geniuses everywhere looked over.

Qiu Wei, fifth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

Once the Platinum Rank Twentieth of the Tianbei Fist Tournament.

The reason it is said "once" is because in order to keep his points, Qiu Wei privately organized others to block Bing Yi from advancing, so he was directly expelled from the Tianbei Fist Tournament.

Chen Yan glanced at Qiu Wei indifferently and laughed:

"Not fighting."

Afterward, he left alone.

Qiu Wei let out a sigh of relief and subconsciously glanced behind him.

A Black-Clothed Youth holding a sword was standing there, his pupils indifferent.

Three-Product Rain Sword Intent, Chu Xuanxian!

Chu Xuansheng, wearing White Clothes, came to Chu Xuanxian's side and gave a Cold Snort:

"You are too cowardly, not daring to fight yourself, and insisting on forcing Qiu Wei to go."

Chu Xuanxian glanced at Chu Xuansheng indifferently:

"Fool, my sword kills as soon as it is drawn."

Chu Xuansheng gave a Cold Snort.

All around, those watching Chen Yan were filled with Disappointment.

He actually refused.

They still wanted to see Chen Yan's true strength.

Was it fear, or did he want to hold back?

The crowd pondered.

Chen Yan walked slowly, leaving the lakeside, stepping over pebbles, and walking through the Tingyuan and Changlang.

High in the sky, Gong Tuo's expression grew increasingly ugly.

Although Chen Yan was walking very slowly, this direction...

Was he overthinking it?

Cold sweat beaded on Gong Tuo's forehead, and then he forced himself to appear calm.

"Have I not been sleeping well lately? He wouldn't dare."

At the same time.

Inside a luxurious room.

"Exalted One, since you have already come over, why won't you come to pick me up?"

"Shen Yiwei... Shen Yiwei is here?"

"Lu Xunyang isn't here, so Shen Yiwei is nothing but a fart!"

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses let out a Cold Snort.

On the other side of the phone, a man's indifferent voice came through:

"Li Hou, you should be thinking about yourself instead, taking our Chen Family's money and living like a Jidu in Yunmeng City.

In the end, you handled things like this, you..."

The gold-rimmed glasses' body stiffened instantly, layers of goosebumps began to Float, and he hurriedly opened his Mouth:

"Exalted One, it is my fault. I also didn't expect that Shen Yiwei would intervene..."

"Enough. If it weren't for your grandfather exhausting his heart and strength for our Chen Family, you would certainly be dead this time. After you go back, reflect properly."

The call hung up.

The gold-rimmed glasses nodded and bowed while speaking.

Only after confirming the other party had hung up did he narrow his eyes and speak in a Cold Voice:

"Chen Bo, you are nothing; when my grandfather was adventuring with the Family Head, you were still just a cell!"

A wave of coldness erupted in Li Hou's eyes.

The Lao City Chen Family is also divided into the main line and the Side Branch; Chen Bo on the other end of the phone is only at the Origin Realm Peak, and his own status is not high.

He does not need to care.

Li Hou sat on the sofa, the killing intent in his eyes constantly emerging.

This time, he had indeed messed up.

Although he came to Yunmeng City to enjoy himself, he had also been doing the work that should be done very seriously.

He kept his attention on the Chen Yan siblings at all times.

Ever since Chen Yan's car accident, his attention had shifted to Chen Yan's sister.

Therefore, Chen Yu also had a car accident, but that time Chen Yu was not harmed.

Li Hou placed more attention on Chen Yu.

It was also at this time that Chen Yan, in an un-Awakened state, defeated Zhang Qingsi and even got into the True Martial Class.

Li Hou reacted in a hurry.

But everything had become uncontrollable.

Under his layers of suppression, that Chen Yan was like an unsheathed sharp blade, unstoppable.

The Lao City side would still think it was his, Li Hou's, lack of ability.

But he, Li Hou, knew clearly that Chen Yan was terrifying.

Just at this moment.

Downstairs, a sound rang out.

"Get lost, this is not a place where you can wander!"

Li Hou's Mu Guang flashed; he did not go to the window, but sat on the sofa and paid close attention.
