"Eldest Elder, Eldest Elder, why didn't you stop Ninth Yang from doing such a foolish thing?" On the other end of the phone, the Chen family patriarch was furious, so angry that several strands of his hair had turned white.
He had originally sent Chen Jiuyang out for further experience, but who would have thought that Chen Jiuyang, upon returning to Fengcheng, would cause such a huge problem in less than a day.
The Chen family's Eighth Elder, dressed in a grey robe, wore a bitter expression. "I thought the Young Master acted with a steady hand. At most, he would provoke and say a few harsh words. Who knew he would actually..."
The Eighth Elder was stunned on the spot. In all his years, he had never seen someone in the Xuan Realm challenge a peak Earth Realm expert, especially one who was so renowned. m..oΓg
The Chen family patriarch was heartbroken. If he had known, he wouldn't have let Chen Jiuyang go out. He sighed repeatedly on the phone, "It's done now, and the water has already spilled. You ask Ninth Yang what he needs, and my Chen family will do our best to satisfy him."
After saying this, the Chen family patriarch hung up the phone.
Inside the Feng Han Marquis's mansion, Chen Jiuyang had a mourning hall set up, with Zhang Jialong's body placed in an ice coffin.
Chen Jiuyang knelt and kowtowed three times to the ice coffin. "Brother, I owe you in this life. I will avenge you on November 15th before letting you rest in peace."
Zhang Jialong was Chen Jiuyang's savior. He should have lived the rest of his life in comfort and happiness, but now he had died because of Chen Jiuyang's personal vendetta. If he didn't kill Xi Butui, Chen Jiuyang would not be able to overcome this hurdle!
Chen Jiuyang knelt in the mourning hall for an entire night. It wasn't until the sun rose the next morning that he finally got up and walked out of the mourning hall.
Standing outside the mourning hall were the Feng Han Marquis, Fang Bahua, Yao Qianhe, the Chen family's Eighth Elder, Yao Zixuan, Deng Zun, and others.
Everyone had much to say.
Yao Zixuan had already woken up and came forward, cupping Chen Jiuyang's face in her hands. "Jiuyang, I believe in you."
Chen Jiuyang smiled faintly. "I will definitely get through this. Don't worry, I won't let you become a widow at such a young age."
Yao Zixuan's pretty face blushed, and she was both amused and exasperated.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang like this, everyone was relieved. It seemed Chen Jiuyang had returned to normal.
Chen Jiuyang put his arm around Yao Zixuan's waist, scanned the faces of everyone present, and said, "All worldly matters will be handled by my master. For the next period, I will do my best to improve my cultivation. There's no need for you all to say more. I, Chen Jiuyang, never do anything I'm not sure of."
"I know what you want to ask and what you want to say. Thank you all for your concern."
"Master, Deng Zun, please help me investigate in Fengcheng who caused my brother's death by suicide. I need to get definitive information. After I return from the Demonic Sect, I will take action to settle the score and comfort my brother's spirit."
The Feng Han Marquis nodded. "Alright."
"Elder Yao, please handle the full production of the Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills. Zixuan has awakened and has a Pure Yin physique. My master will teach her martial arts next."
"I understand," Yao Qianhe nodded.
"Uncle Fang, please pack my luggage. We need to prepare for departure. The people from the Demonic Sect should be arriving soon."
Fang Bahua nodded. "Yes, Young Master."
After the arrangements were made, everyone dispersed.
Only Yao Zixuan and Chen Jiuyang remained.
Yao Zixuan, with a blush, whispered in Chen Jiuyang's ear, "Jiuyang, now that my Yao family's crisis is over, we can consummate our marriage."
Chen Jiuyang laughed heartily. "Zixuan, I'll take your body after I return from the Demonic Sect. Don't be anxious. Can I possibly run away?"
Yao Zixuan pouted coquettishly. "You're a big shot now, so busy every day. Who knows about you."
"You need to practice martial arts well and enter a new world as a martial artist. Only then can you firmly hold the position of the Marquis's main wife," Chen Jiuyang said frankly.
Yao Zixuan had a Pure Yin physique. With the cultivation technique he passed down, her progress would be extremely rapid, as the Pure Yin physique was just as special as the Pure Yang physique.
Yao Zixuan pouted again. "Tell me, besides Lin Yuexian, how many other sisters have you found for me?"
"I'll go visit them one by one in Fengcheng next."
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "I'll tell you later."
Speak of the devil, Lin Yuexian and Lin Buwen arrived at the Feng Han Marquis's mansion.
"Chen Lang," Lin Yuexian, wearing a qipao, looked at Chen Jiuyang tenderly. They hadn't seen each other for some time.
Calling him "Chen Lang" in front of Yao Zixuan, Yao Zixuan, standing behind Chen Jiuyang, placed a small hand on his waist and squeezed hard.
Chen Jiuyang gasped and forced a smile. "If you didn't come, I would have gone to the Lin family."
Lin Yuexian was his first woman in the true sense. Before he left Fengcheng, he definitely had to visit the Lin family to explain things.
Lin Buwen chuckled and stroked his beard. "Jiuyang, your actions are always surprising."
The commotion caused by Chen Jiuyang's challenge to Xi Butui was too great. The Lin family could no longer sit still and came to the Feng Han Marquis's mansion to check on Chen Jiuyang's situation.
The Lin family knew Chen Jiuyang's circumstances and knew he would inevitably be made a marquis. Therefore, Lin Buwen had not allowed Lin Yuexian to move into the Feng Han Marquis's mansion so readily. The Lin family was a scholarly lineage. Even though Lin Yuexian and Chen Jiuyang had already been intimate, Chen Jiuyang still had to formally propose and marry her.
But this time, it was different.
Lin Buwen chuckled and said, "Jiuyang, I have two matters to discuss with you at the Feng Han Marquis's mansion."
Chen Jiuyang said, "Please speak."
Lin Buwen said, "First, the matter of unfreezing Yuexian's father has been settled. He will be unfrozen on November 3rd, and you will need to treat him then."
"No problem," Chen Jiuyang nodded.
"Second, Yuexian is truly not suitable for the position of Young Family Head. Her abilities are insufficient. My Lin family has already selected a new Young Family Head to replace Yuexian. Yuexian needs to practice martial arts, so I thought of sending her to you, hehe."
Lin Buwen scheduled the unfreezing of Lin Yuexian's father for November 3rd, just before Chen Jiuyang's challenge to Xi Butui. This could be seen as a cold and ruthless exploitation of people, and then he sent Lin Yuexian to the Feng Han Marquis's mansion to dispel any potential suspicions Chen Jiuyang might have.
Before Chen Jiuyang could speak, Yao Zixuan said with a smile, "Then I'll have someone prepare a room shortly, so that Sister Lin can stay here with peace of mind."
Lin Yuexian saw Yao Zixuan and did not get angry, replying with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Sister Yao to take care of me from now on."
There would be plenty of opportunities to spar with her later.
Chen Jiuyang's scalp tingled. These two women were already at odds, and now they would be living under the same roof.
It was going to be lively.
Chen Jiuyang forced a smile. "Then Yuexian, please stay with peace of mind and practice martial arts with my master."
