Chapter 743: Chapter 745: The Date is Set
“Recently, he heard about your issue with the Liu Family and has been cultivating so hard he almost stopped eating,” Xia Liu said, smacking her forehead as she mentioned Ouyang Lingtian.
If she had known that guy was going so overboard for Xia Liu, she never would have spilled the beans.
“Don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely no ‘bromance’ between me and Lingtian,” Xia Liu quickly explained, sensing that Ye Xuan might be feeling jealous.
“I wouldn’t know about that, and don’t bother explaining, because you can’t win him back anyway,” Ye Xuan replied, lifting her head slightly in a show of defiance as she countered Xia Liu.
…
What could Xia Liu even say to that?
He was at a loss for words.
“After I deal with the Liu Family matter, call Lingtian for me. I’ll get him drunk for you,” Xia Liu said with a devilish smile.
His intuition was strong; Yu Xuan and Ouyang Lingtian hadn’t progressed to that stage yet.
Although the girl might have some other ideas about Ouyang Lingtian.
Overall, she was still pretty good to him.
Asking the Ye Family not to participate in the battle this time must mean she carries significant weight with them.
“Hehe, I’ll do that.” Ye Xuan’s cheeks flushed with a hint of red when she heard Xia Liu talk about getting Ouyang Lingtian drunk, though neither he nor Chen Tian’en noticed it.
By then, Ye Xuan had already left the hall: “Chief, I’ll leave Xia Liu to you. I’m going to send out the invitations. In five days, at the Heavenly Mansion Martial Arts Arena.”
Chen Tian’en nodded. Ye Xuan always knew what to do and didn’t need to be told, which made things easier for everyone.
“Daoist Fellow Xia, can you get yourself in the right state in five days?”
“Plenty…”
Xia Liu shook his head; he didn’t need five days when there were still a good number of Supreme Grade Spirit Stones in his storage ring.
Even if he had to fight right away, it would not be a problem at all.
Having experienced the Lingyun Secret Realm, he was no longer the unprepared Xia Liu of before.
“Haha! Youth is truly enviable,” Chen Tian’en said, his eyes filled with admiration.
If he had had Path-Entering cultivation at Xia Liu’s age, the Huaxia Warrior Realm would have trembled for days on end.
“I was wondering if I might have the honor of inviting Daoist Fellow Xia to my humble abode?”
“Chief Chen, you flatter me; the honor would be all mine,” Xia Liu responded to the old man’s politeness.
He had become familiar with such courteous expressions, and he didn’t downplay his true potential too much.
Being overly modest might get mistaken for insincerity.
After making arrangements, Xia Liu followed Chen Tian’en as they strolled out of the yard.
On the way, Chen Tian’en explained the current structure of the Heavenly Mansion to Xia Liu and the arrangement of the warriors in various departments.
The Enforcement Hall had the fewest people but the strongest cultivation.
The Enforcement Hall consisted of fifteen members, ten of whom had reached the Peak of the Heavenly Rank, and five were at the High Level of the Heavenly Rank.
This lineup was the result of ages of accumulation.
Among these ten Peak Heavenly Rank Elders, five seldom showed themselves, spending their time in meditation within the unique Blessed Lands granted by the Heavenly Mansion.
Unless it was an emergency, most of the Enforcement Hall Elders would be in seclusion as well.
Ye Xuan was somewhat of an exception among these fifteen Elders of the Enforcement Hall.
She herself was the Heavenly Belle of the Ye Family, one of the four super clans.
Chief Chen didn’t delve too much into Ye Xuan’s affairs.
And from the scenes just now, he realized that her relationship with Xia Liu was not shallow.
Hence, he had even less reason to explain the details about Ye Xuan.
Xia Liu didn’t dwell on this issue either.
He could tell that Chen Tian’en didn’t want to reveal too much about Ye Xuan.
At that time, Ye Xuan had also said she wanted to resolve her own doubts, and the first step was to fully repair her Divine Sense and restore her cultivation to its peak.
“Apart from the Hall of Law Enforcement, there’s also the Enforcement Hall, which is the division previously managed by Sun Jian.”
Speaking of Sun Jian, Chen Tian’en fell into some indescribable emotions.
However, he quickly recovered and said, “The Enforcement Hall is a very important division, with its numbers reaching over a thousand, all of at least Earth-Rank High Level, primarily responsible for the various regions of Huaxia.”
“For example, if there’s a Martial Artist causing trouble in a certain city, they can investigate or even stop the disturbance at the fastest speed. Previously, this division was under Sun Jian’s jurisdiction; you might need to appoint a new Hall Master in the future.”
“I see, no wonder the Heavenly Mansion has jurisdiction over the Martial Artists across the world, the strength within the Heavenly Mansion is truly terrifying.”
Xia Liu was deeply moved.
He had known little about the Heavenly Mansion before.
He had not expected that the Enforcement Hall would have over a thousand Martial Artists.
Moreover, based on what Chen Tian’en implied, all these Martial Artists were of at least Earth-Rank High Level.
There were perhaps as many as a hundred Heaven-Rank Warriors among them.
This truly was terrifying to such an extent.
If he had not pulled out the second Spirit Stabilizing Needle, he probably wouldn’t have been able to compete with a Heaven-Rank Warrior.
Luckily, his luck was not bad, and after pulling out the second Spirit Stabilizing Needle, his Divine Sense also coincidentally unraveled somewhat.
“Hehe, the Heavenly Mansion is much larger than you imagine. After you take over, you will gradually understand,” Chen Tian’en said with a continuous kind smile, thinking back to when he first took charge of the Heavenly Mansion.
Learning the true extent of the Heavenly Mansion’s power, his shock was far greater than that of Xia Liu; it was simply too embarrassing by comparison.
In the following time, Chen Tian’en also introduced his family to him.
Considering everything, the Chen Family had a special position in Yanjing.
No member of the elite could join their ranks.
If there was a comparison to be made, perhaps even a Super Clan might not match up to the Chen Family.
This was thanks to Chen Tian’en’s leveraging of his relationship with the Heavenly Mansion.
Because of this connection, Huaxia was probably more considerate towards them.
Anyway, no one dared to provoke the Chen Family, not even the slightest trouble would arise.
The young members of the Chen Family differed from those of other Martial Artist families.
From the moment they understood things, they were educated.
Being descendants of the Chen Family meant reflecting diligently upon oneself every day.
Compared to the scions of other families, those of the Chen Family were far more outstanding.
Whether in Huaxia or abroad, the descendants of the Chen Family did exceptionally well.
It was only due to Chen Tian’en’s influence that they were all exceptionally low-profile.
With countless eyes watching them at all times, they couldn’t afford the slightest slackness.
If someone with ulterior motives found a weakness, it would also make things difficult for Chen Tian’en.
Chen Tian’en’s vehicle was an older model Audi A8, with a very impressive number plate, all zeros, clearly indicating a special vehicle.
“Chief Chen, please take me to a place first.”
“Where?”
“The research district governed by General Fang Huasheng.”
Following Xia Liu’s instructions, the driver smoothly entered the research district without any obstructions.
Just like when he left over a month ago, there were guard posts, soldiers, and a spacious two-lane road without a single soul.
It looked like an uninhabited ghost town.
The car slowly stopped in front of an ordinary-looking building.
Just as Xia Liu was about to open the door and get out,
Inside the building, a graceful figure was pushing out a small cart filled with fabrics of various colors.
She had light red wavy hair and, despite wearing a mask, it was clear that she was a woman with both an exceptional appearance and figure…
What do you think?
