Chapitre 11: 11. Receive Your Guidance
The pressure that Chen Xuan exerted on Xuan Su was overwhelming. Even more terrifying than City Lord Shi Haotian!
Wait!
Them?
What does that mean?
Just then, a rush of footsteps echoed from outside the room.
Soon, the door to the private room was knocked.
Xuan Su, overjoyed, quickly opened the door.
However, the figure standing before her left her momentarily stunned: "Ci... City Lord Shi, what brings you here?"
"Is Director Su not welcoming my visit?"
Shi Haotian smiled, but his eyes quickly scanned the room, as if looking for something.
"Not at all."
Xuan Su shook her head and quickly thought of a way to dismiss him. "It's just that today... this is a family gathering, not convenient for outsiders."
A family gathering?
Who are you trying to fool?
Shi Haotian ignored her and, standing at the door, cupped his hands towards the inside, saying, "I am Shi Haotian, City Lord of Yan City, here to disturb you, sir."
Chen Xuan waved his hand. "Perfect timing, come in and talk."
"Alright, alright."
Shi Haotian was delighted and gave Xuan Su a smug look before walking in.
Behind him followed a graceful figure.
The woman was tall, dressed in a purple robe, her skin as fair as snow, her eyebrows slender like willow leaves, and her face shaped like a melon seed. Her lips were a rosy red, and her features were exquisite.
An extraordinary beauty!
However, her cold and icy expression clearly read: 'Stay away.'
This was Shi Haotian's daughter, Shi Ziyue.
A genuine two-mark Symbol Master!
She couldn't understand why her father, a powerful expert of the Initial Creation Realm, was being so respectful towards a young man.
The two had just sat down.
Before Shi Haotian could speak.
Xia Wanjin arrived, fashionably late.
After apologizing several times, he finally entered the room.
With everyone now present.
Chen Xuan looked at Xia Wanjin and Shi Haotian and got straight to the point: "I have a task for the two of you: supervise the Lin family in Qingyang Town, and do not allow Lin Qingtan to leave!"
"Huh?"
Both of them were stunned.
They knew that Lin Qingtan was Lin Dong's younger sister.
They both knew Lin Dong.
Monitoring the Lin family would be like stabbing him in the back, wouldn't it?
While they hesitated.
Chen Xuan took out two pills brimming with spiritual energy: "Complete this task, and these two pills will be yours!"
"These are Foundation Pills!" Shi Haotian's sharp eyes immediately recognized them.
Xia Wanjin's expression changed dramatically. "What? These… these are the Foundation Pills that allow one to break through for one minor realm in the Creation Realm without any obstacles in a short time?"
Shi Haotian nodded.
Everyone present was shocked.
Who is this person?
His generosity is astonishing!
Foundation Pills fetch tens of thousands of Yang Yuan Pills at auction!
Then Chen Xuan warned, "If the task isn't completed, you can deal with the consequences yourselves."
At the same time, he revealed his own strength.
The terrifying aura made everyone feel as if they were facing a great enemy, sweat pouring down like rain.
Xuan Su, Xia Zhilan, and Shi Ziyue, all of whom had lower cultivation, immediately dropped to their knees!
They could only prop themselves up with their hands, struggling to hold on.
[Ding! Xuan Su feels fear + shock, Emotion Points +100]
[Ding! Xia Zhilan feels panic + shock, Emotion Points +100]
[Ding! Shi Ziyue feels terror + astonishment, Emotion Points +100]
The three women were overwhelmed by Chen Xuan's aura.
None of them dared to raise their heads.
Especially Shi Ziyue. When she first heard that her father was bringing her to meet a young expert, she was resistant.
No matter how strong he was, could he be stronger than Lin Dong, who fought her father to a draw?
But now, the situation made her realize.
She had been wrong.
Terribly wrong.
The aura of the person before her even made her father sweat like rain under the pressure.
What kind of strength was this?
The Qi Creation Realm?
The Manifestation Realm?
Or something even more terrifying?
She couldn't imagine.
Shi Haotian and Xia Wanjin, hearing Chen Xuan's words, immediately bowed.
"Rest assured, Senior. We will complete the task to the best of our abilities."
The two had no choice.
There was no alternative.
People must fend for themselves when necessary.
Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, make your arrangements and return."
"Yes."
Both men, seeing the situation clearly, bowed deeply.
They were utterly subservient to him now.
Xia Wanjin had once confidently promised Lin Dong that as long as Thousand Gold Association remained in Yan City, the Lin family would have the strongest ally.
Yet only a few days later?
He was already betraying him.
How ironic!
"Senior, this is my daughter, Shi Ziyue. She has always aspired to be a great cultivatir. Today, she is fortunate enough to meet you. I hope you can give her personal guidance.
"Of course, if Senior doesn't mind, she can stay by your side to serve you."
Before leaving.
Shi Haotian brought Shi Ziyue before Chen Xuan.
His attitude was extremely respectful.
"Father! You..."
Hearing Shi Haotian's words, a thin mist of tears welled up in Shi Ziyue's eyes.
She looked at her father in disbelief.
She thought she must have misheard.
Her father, who had always doted on her, how could he say such a thing?
Until now, she had always been Shi Haotian's precious gem, the little princess of the Yan City.
At such a young age, she was already a 2nd Seal Symbol Master.
Her future prospects were limitless.
But now, he was personally offering her as a servant to this young man.
She found it hard to accept.
But she could sense it.
Her father was deeply afraid of this young man.
"Damn you, Shi Haotian! To curry favor with a powerful figure, you're willing to offer even your precious daughter!"
Seeing Shi Haotian's actions, Xia Wanjin clenched his fists tightly.
Shi Haotian had a daughter, sure.
But don't forget, Xia Wanjin had both a daughter and a sister-in-law!
What could Shi Haotian compete with him?
So, Xia Wanjin also stepped forward: "Senior, these are my daughter Xia Zhilan and my sister-in-law Xuan Su. They too hope for your personal guidance."
Shi Haotian frowned: "??"
Good for you, Xia Wanjin.
Offering your daughter is one thing, but your sister-in-law too?
At that moment, he could only regret not having more daughters or wives to compete.
"Alright, you may leave now. I will guide their training."
Chen Xuan, fully understanding their intentions, nodded and agreed.
Hearing this, Shi Haotian and Xia Wanjin couldn't suppress their joy.
Before leaving.
Shi Haotian reminded: "Ziyue, don't be fooled by his youth. I have a feeling his strength is terrifying and could help us become one of the top families in the Great Yan Empire."
"Father, don't worry. I understand."
The tears in Shi Ziyue's eyes gradually vanished.
All that remained was determination.
Beside them, Xia Wanjin was also advising Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan.
He told them.
Chen Xuan's strength was unfathomable.
They had to treat him well.
Do not defy his will.
Or else the Thousand Gold Association would disappear from Yan City entirely.
The two women nodded.
After Shi Haotian and Xia Wanjin left.
The three women exchanged glances.
Then, they all approached and sat close to Chen Xuan.
Pouring drinks and serving food, they treated him with enthusiasm.
This caught Chen Xuan slightly off guard, given the cold treatment from Xia Zhilan and Shi Ziyue towards him earlier.
