The Shangguan family had not provoked Chen Yuan, and their relationship was actually quite good due to Shangguan Yu's influence, but Chen Yuan was only close to Shangguan Yu. su-dan.net

If it were due to a single sentence or person, it probably wouldn't change Chen Yuan's attitude.

Shangguan Yu had to make this point clear.

The Five Great Families were high above, but that depended on who they were dealing with. For ordinary martial artists, marrying a direct daughter of the Five Great Families was certainly a step up, but given Chen Yuan's current status and strength, it was the Shangguan family who were reaching above their station.

The strength of the Five Great Families was not actually that great. Apart from the Gu family having a Yang Shen ancestor, the other four families didn't have a single Yang Shen.

Although their reputation was quite resounding, their actual strength was not necessarily so.

For a rising star like Chen Yuan, if you wanted to seize the opportunity, you had to invest before he had grown, which would be like sending charcoal in the snow, remembered for a lifetime.

Now it could only be considered icing on the cake, and Chen Yuan might not necessarily want it.

Shangguan Tiehong was speechless, silent for a long time, and said in a low voice:

"You arrange this matter yourself."

After saying this, he left the room with several elders of the Shangguan clan.

After they left, Shangguan Hong's eyes moved, and she said in a low voice:

"Brother, why did you..."

Shangguan Yu looked down at the bustling crowd below and said lightly:

"The Shangguan clan is used to being high above, and they won't lower themselves to look at people. Brother Chen seems approachable, but in fact, he has pride in his heart. If Father had the same attitude as before, it would be impossible to reach an agreement. We must suppress their arrogance.

Let them know that the Shangguan clan is nothing in front of the current Martial Marquis. It's best to have a good relationship. If not, there should be no resentment in their hearts."

"Brother is right."

Shangguan Hong was somewhat similar to Shangguan Yu in personality. Because of the previous incidents, she was actually somewhat dissatisfied with the family, but they were not yet in power and could not make decisions at all.

Moreover, the way of survival for a family was indeed like this. It was impossible to take risks for one person.

But wanting high returns after the fact was also impossible.

"Don't worry, little sister, even if I lose this old face of mine, I will definitely make Brother Chen accept you." Shangguan Yu saw through his sister's thoughts and teased.

"Don't say that. If Chen Yuan really doesn't like me, being a friend is also good." Shangguan Hong squeezed out a smile, not in a very good mood.

"Don't be discouraged. You are, after all, the direct daughter of the Shangguan family, of pure background. Although you can't be called a national beauty, you are still beautiful. Although I said that to Father before,

in fact, the Shangguan family still has some power in the south, especially in Shu Prefecture. Brother Chen has entered Shu Prefecture, governing the three southern states. It seems like a tall building, but in fact, the foundation is not yet stable. He will not refuse the goodwill of the Shangguan family."

Shangguan Yu smiled.

"Okay."

"Also, a few days ago, that kid Zhang Xuan sent me a letter before he was transferred from Nanling Prefecture, saying that Chen Yuan has now become half of his brother-in-law. He was bragging a lot in his words. How could I bear it? If Brother Chen is his brother-in-law, then I will be the brother-in-law, which is higher than him in seniority." Shangguan Yu snorted lightly.

"Oh my, brother, how could you..." Shangguan Hong was a little embarrassed.

"Back in Hidden Weapon Valley, I mentioned letting Brother Chen marry you, but he was concerned about the influence of the Shangguan family. Once he married you, he would be restrained and there was no need to get too close to the Shangguan clan.

But it's different now. His power is above the Shangguan clan, so there is no need to worry about the influence of the Shangguan family, and he still needs the help of the Shangguan family. Just leave this matter to me, don't worry."

Shangguan Yu saw it very clearly. Since the Immortal Ascension Battle, he had grown a lot, and Shangguan Tiehong had begun to pave the way for him to become the clan leader in the future.

His mentality had also inevitably changed.

"I know."

Shangguan Hong nodded.

"Go back and rest first. After Brother Chen finishes his work today, I will take you to see him."

"Okay."

The banquet held by the three giants of Shu Prefecture was naturally large in scale. Almost everyone in the officialdom of Shu Prefecture who had a face and a name would come to welcome Chen Yuan, this third-rank official.

And this time was also Chen Yuan's official declaration of entering Shu Prefecture.

At the banquet, cups were exchanged, and Chen Yuan did not put on airs. He chatted very well with the Governor of Shu Prefecture and the General of Pingnan. Even if they were not familiar, they could be considered acquainted.

However, this was just the appearance. If they were obedient, everything would be safe. If they were disobedient, then Chen Yuan would gradually think of ways to control them or replace them for his future safety.

It wouldn't work in a short time, which would arouse Jingtai's suspicion.

But he still had a year to slowly set up the layout, so there was actually no need to panic too much.

The banquet lasted until the evening before it ended. Lu Renyi was very tactful and took the initiative to vacate the mansion in the Sky Patrol Department, ordering people to clean it up for Chen Yuan to rest.

As for himself, he bought another mansion near the Sky Patrol Department.

Chen Yuan governed the three states, and the core was Shu Prefecture. He naturally did not dare to overstep his authority. The forces that dared to kill the Golden Envoy of Shu Prefecture must be very large, and he also knew that he did not have the strength to deal with them.

What he truly relied on was Chen Yuan.

That night, after sending away all the guests, Chen Yuan brought Lu Renyi to the Sky Patrol Hall, and the atmosphere was immediately different from before. Chen Yuan's expression was calm, and he said softly:

"You have been in Shu Prefecture for almost half a month. Do you have any leads on the murderer of Lu Renjia?"

When Chen Yuan was sent to the south to take charge in the capital, Lu Renyi was appointed as the Golden Envoy of Shu Prefecture. They had met once, led by Wu Tianxi.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan ordered him to rush to Shu Prefecture as soon as possible, without delay, and preferably find out some reasons for killing Lu Renjia.

And he slowly, solved all the affairs before taking office.

Lu Renjia was Lu Renyi's elder brother, and their relationship was very close. Regarding the cause of his death, he naturally would not delay and rushed to Shu Prefecture City.

Facing Chen Yuan's inquiry, he did not think and immediately said:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, this subordinate has only made some progress. After investigation, the day Lu Renjia was attacked..."

He quickly told Chen Yuan everything he had investigated, which was similar to what Jiang He said, but in more detail.

"In other words, the murderer is indeed related to the Unborn Church?"

"It seems that this is indeed the case. Before the attack that day, my brother just happened to find a piece of information about the Unborn Church's whereabouts. Before he could take action, he..."

"Then you should follow this line to investigate. Don't be afraid of causing trouble. No matter how big the trouble is, this Marquis can help you bear it." Chen Yuan stated very seriously.

He didn't think that the Unborn Church had done it, but there was no need to tell Lu Renyi. Again, Lu Renjia's death was not important, and neither was recovering the Blood Prefecture territory.

What was really important was that he searched for resources and expanded his power.

If Lu Renyi wanted to investigate, then he should go ahead and investigate. He wouldn't care too much about the rest. As long as he could cope with the capital on the surface, it would be fine.

He was not a detective, nor did he have the great power to turn back time. There was no need to trace the source.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Lu Renyi was moved by Chen Yuan's attitude and immediately knelt down on one knee.

He felt that Chen Yuan, this superior, was indeed good so far.

"This matter is entirely entrusted to you. This official has more important things to do. Tomorrow, in this official's name, summon the Golden Envoy of Nan Prefecture to Shu Prefecture, plus the two Green Envoys of Blood Prefecture. If they don't come, let them bear the consequences."

The Blood Prefecture was related to the Yuan Crystal Mine, which was of great importance. The Golden Envoy of Nan Prefecture also had considerable power. He wanted to win them over in the shortest possible time. He didn't ask them to perform meritorious service, as long as they obediently obeyed orders.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, this subordinate will do it immediately."

"Go ahead, it's getting late, get some rest early."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"This subordinate takes his leave."

Lu Renyi bowed slightly and quickly left the Sky Patrol Hall.

Watching this person leave, Chen Yuan's divine sense moved, covering the entire Sky Patrol Hall. He took out the Treasure Heavenly Book, probed his divine sense into it, found the point of starlight connected to Su Ziyue, and transmitted his voice:

"Miss Su, Chen has come to Shu Prefecture."

Seeing that there was no response for the time being, Chen Yuan withdrew and breathed a sigh of relief in the Sky Patrol Hall, then began to close his eyes and rest. He had a lot of things to do.

A year might not be enough.

Fortunately, his second uncle could also be considered his helper. If calculated like this, he had two True Monarchs, one half-crippled Immortal, plus several Refined Spirit True Persons.

His strength was already infinitely close to the level of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

When he possessed True Monarch combat power, he would be qualified to secede and rebel. In addition, he had a good relationship with Wei Jinfeng, who might be able to help him at that time.

However, as his power gradually expanded, so did his enemies.

There were the Liangshan bandits who were qualified to wrestle with the Seven Kill Hall, the Xiang family with eight hundred years of heritage and the shrewd Xiang Qianqiu, the Eastern Japanese barbarians, and the Northern barbarians.

And the strongest imperial court, and those existences behind him.

These pressures were great, no less than carrying a mountain on his back. With Chen Yuan's current strength, he was still far from enough. Therefore, from almost the beginning to the end, he had a strong sense of urgency to urge him to grow.

He dared not slack off at any time.

With pressure comes motivation, at least that's how Chen Yuan looked at it. If the opponent was too weak, it would be meaningless.

While Chen Yuan was pondering, the Heavenly Book moved, and a very familiar voice came from inside:

"Congratulations."

"How is Miss Su now?"

Chen Yuan asked very concerned.

Inside the Tao Divine Palace, Su Ziyue and Jiang He were the people who had the greatest influence on Chen Yuan. Jiang He was someone he came into contact with after reaching the Tongxuan realm, while Su Ziyue had been in contact with him since he was in Ping An County, helping him many times during that time. Since a brief appearance in the capital, Su Ziyue had not transmitted her voice again, causing several Dao Lords to be somewhat worried, but even they had not explored Su Ziyue's origins.

Unless she revealed it herself.

"There were some problems with cultivation. The Six Desires Immortal Scripture affected the mind, and I haven't been able to stabilize for a while, so I haven't shown up." Su Ziyue hesitated for a moment and told Chen Yuan.

"Wasn't the Six Desires Immortal Scripture prepared by Senior Moro? How could there be a problem?" Chen Yuan frowned. If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that Moro had a problem?

"It was caused by my own reasons."

"Oh?"

"The Six Desires Immortal Scripture is a supreme wonderful technique that is very suitable for me, but I was too eager for success some time ago and was affected by the seven emotions and six desires, plus some external pressure, so..."

"How can I help you?"

Su Ziyue had asked him for help before, and he had not refused. Now, he estimated that the time was almost right.

Su Ziyue was silent for a long time, not speaking.

"Miss Su?"

"Need...cultivation."

After a long silence, Su Ziyue said.

"How to cultivate? You and I are not outsiders, just say it directly."

"That kind of cultivation. I have been suffering from lustfire...for the past period, and I can't suppress it for too long, so I need you to help me suppress it."

After saying this unspeakable thing, Su Ziyue fell into silence.

Chen Yuan's eyes were a little strange after hearing these words, but the corners of his mouth actually curled up in a smile. Su Ziyue had unparalleled beauty and incomparable temperament.

She could arouse desire in people more than any woman he had ever seen.

From the first time he saw her, Chen Yuan had actually been suppressing himself, not daring to reveal his thoughts, lest he be suppressed by her, but this thought had always lingered in his mind.

He didn't expect that now...

"Don't worry, Miss Su, you and I have a close relationship. I will definitely help with these things and definitely help you suppress the backlash of the technique." Chen Yuan's expression turned serious, and he replied very seriously.

"Okay...thank you."

Su Ziyue responded.

It was impossible for her not to like Chen Yuan, otherwise, she would not have only looked for Chen Yuan for this kind of cultivation. Even though she was suffering from lustfire, she was still desperately suppressing it.

Now, because the external pressure was too great, she had to confess to Chen Yuan.

When she found out that he was getting close to Shen Yanshu in Nanling Prefecture, Su Ziyue felt inexplicably uncomfortable and tried to send Shen Yanshu to the Goddess Palace.

It was impossible for her not to have any selfish thoughts.

It was possible that it was possessiveness at work.

She later kept telling herself that it was the Six Desires Immortal Scripture that was causing the backlash and affecting her mind at that time, but she could deceive others, but she could not deceive herself.

She did have a slight liking for Chen Yuan.

When did it start?

It probably started from the first time she saw Chen Yuan. She had seen many men, but Chen Yuan was the only one who had no unusual expression in front of her, and even avoided her, not wanting to get too involved.

From that time on, she became a little curious about this guy.

After that, admiration gradually turned into admiration... Over the years, he climbed from nothing to his current position, turned the tide in the capital, defeated all the heroes in the world at the Immortal Ascension Stage, and went to death alone in Liangzhou City...

Only by understanding Chen Yuan can one discover that he has a kind of magic, a kind of magic that makes women unable to stop...

"Let's not talk about gratitude between us. Miss Su, you have helped me so much. My character is to repay a drop of kindness with a spring. Don't worry, with me here, it will be fine..."

Chen Yuan continued to say.

"I just want you to help me suppress the backlash..."

Su Ziyue was still being stubborn.

"I know, we are just pure and innocent friends with a clear conscience." Chen Yuan recalled the headlights decorated on Su Ziyue's car, and the corners of his mouth really couldn't help but curl up.

"It's good that you know, don't have any other thoughts."

"Don't worry, what bad intentions can Chen have?"

"You have a lot of bad intentions. You have one in Tangshan, one in the Goddess Palace, and a few in the capital. What, are you planning to accept all the beautiful women?"

Su Ziyue couldn't help but say it.

Obviously, she was the first to come, but Chen Yuan ignored her. Couldn't he release some love for her? At least be more tough, but he was always so polite.

It got to the point where she had to say it first.

Don't look at her cultivating the Six Desires Immortal Scripture and having seen many men, but in fact, she was very conservative in her heart, and she had always thought that a man could only have one woman.

She even regretted that she should have directly suppressed Chen Yuan when his cultivation was weak, so that he would only like her, without other thoughts.

But now she can't beat him anymore.

But she completely blamed Chen Yuan. When Chen Yuan first entered the martial arts, Su Ziyue was already at the Celestial Core Realm. The gap was a bit big, and he wouldn't do anything he was asked to do.

What he liked was strength, having everything in his own hands.

"Miss Su, you are completely slandering me."

Putting aside the facts, didn't those women have any fault?

Except for Shen Yanshu, who was special in physique and was the one he took the initiative to take care of, whether it was Madam Xu, Yang Guifei, or Sister Zhang, which one of them didn't take the initiative?

So angry, when will men stand up!

"Bah, don't I understand your character? Don't tell me you even have thoughts about Sister Li?"

Su Ziyue's Six Desires Immortal Scripture began to backlash, and unconsciously, it affected her mind, and she couldn't help but argue with Chen Yuan about these romantic affairs.

"Which Sister Li?"

Chen Yuan frowned, confused.

"What do you say? How many girls named Li are there around you who are beautiful?"

"Dao Lord Changqing?"

Chen Yuan didn't know why, but suddenly this person popped up.

"Hmph."

Su Ziyue's jealousy surged, and she snorted lightly.

"Absolutely not. I swear on my good brother Jiang He that if I have bad intentions towards Dao Lord Changqing, I will let him be lonely for the rest of his life and never be able to marry Li Hongshuang."

Inside the Sky Patrol Hall, Chen Yuan said very seriously while holding the Heavenly Book.

"Get lost!"

Suddenly, the starlight belonging to Jiang He was lit up, and he couldn't help but reject Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan: "..."

Su Ziyue: "..."

After coughing twice, Chen Yuan immediately said:

"Old Jiang, when did you come?"

"Just came." Jiang He said lightly.

"The same goes for this seat."

"The same goes for this old man."

"The same goes for this concubine..."

After Jiang He's voice fell, the starlight belonging to Li Suqing, Yang Huatian, Chu Changfeng, and others also lit up at the same time. The entire Heavenly Book space fell into silence.

Su Ziyue: "..."

Chen Yuan: "..."

In front of so many people, Su Ziyue's face turned red instantly, and she couldn't help but dig a three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom unit with her toes...

Too embarrassing!

"Su Ziyue, I was quite worried about your condition, and now you are slandering me like this?" Li Suqing took the lead in breaking the silence and couldn't help but say.

"Sister Suqing, my technique has backlashed..."

"Yes, Daoist Changqing, you..."

Li Suqing: "Chen Yuan, answer me one question first."

"What question?"

"What did you send the message to let Qingyan go to Tangshan with Yanshu for?"
