"Patriarch, this doesn't mean anything. I personally believe that this Xuanyuan Chen's true strength is definitely not a Dou Huang. The result of the instrument's measurement will definitely not be wrong. As for why he was able to heavily injure Sword Master Dou Ling and was even able to emit Dou Qi light that could only appear when one had the strength of a Dou Huang or above, it was very likely that this Xuanyuan Chen had obtained a method that could instantly increase his strength.”When the Great Elder said this, he paused for a moment and continued,"This method exists in the cultivation room of our Shangguan family. This method of instantly increasing strength had a huge drawback, and that was that when one obtained strength, they had to pay the price of their body. It could not be used for a long time. Therefore, if the clan leader wants to place the fate of the Shangguan family on a guy who might be able to rely on some kind of instantaneous increase in strength, I don't think it's possible. I object." After the Great Elder finished his words, the elders who did not support Shangguan Hong nodded in agreement. Some of the elders who could not make up their minds before also began to waver and expressed their agreement with the Great Elder.
Seeing this, Shangguan Hong knew that it was impossible to get through today. However, he did not give up, so he left the secret chamber after a few words with the elders.
When Shangguan Hong walked out of the secret chamber, his face was extremely ugly. There was hatred in his heart. Yes, it was hatred. He hated these elders. He was a dignified clan leader, but he had been suppressed by these old fellows for many years. He had long been unhappy.
"Xuanyuan Chen, don't disappoint me!”Shangguan Hong thought to himself. He had decided that no matter what the elders thought, he believed in his daughter, in her judgment, and in his intuition. To say that the fate of the Shangguan family was on Xuanyuan Chen's shoulders, it was better to say that he was a coward as the patriarch. He wanted to put his own fate on Xuanyuan Chen's shoulders.
He went straight to his room. Shangguan Yu was already waiting for him.
As soon as Shangguan Hong entered the room and saw Shangguan Yu, he was slightly startled. He then sat down and said,"I was just about to look for you!"
"I know." Shangguan Yu smiled and continued,"Father, looking at your expression, I know I guessed correctly! The elders must not agree with your decision to bet on Xuanyuan Chen!”
"Hmph, this bunch of old fellows. They don't usually do anything good. They're always dragging me down.”Shangguan Hong did not hide it from his daughter, because he knew very well that his daughter's intelligence and wisdom were definitely above his. He could not hide it from her.
"Father, please believe in your daughter's judgment. I feel that putting the treasure on Xuanyuan Chen is not only a matter of whether the family can be glorious, but also a matter of father's prestige as the patriarch in the future. Don't worry, leave this matter to me.”Shangguan Yu's indifferent tone revealed great confidence.
"Do you have any ideas?" Shangguan Yu voiced out Shangguan Hong's thoughts, so he didn't object. He didn't even say a single false word, but asked bluntly.
"I'll love him and make him fall in love with me.”Shangguan Yu looked at his father with a determined expression.
"This Little Yu, isn't the price too high?”After all, Shangguan Hong was a father. Hearing Shangguan Yu's words, he became a little hesitant. After all, this was not only about the Shangguan family, but also about his daughter's happiness.
"Don't worry, Father. I will approach him without any schemes. If one day I really fall in love with him, I will love him without hesitation. When one day he really falls in love with me, I will marry him without hesitation. If there is no fate between us and there is no love, then I will make friends with him with the most sincere heart.”Shangguan Yu's eyes flashed with wisdom.
"Good, good. Daughter, you are actually the treasure of our Shangguan family! Go, the Ouyang family may be going to deal with Xuanyuan Chen. You have to be mentally prepared to live and die with him.”Shangguan Hong stroked Shangguan Yu's head tenderly and then said calmly,""I believe in my daughter."
While the Shangguan family was busy with Xuanyuan Chen, the meeting room of the Ouyang family was filled with anger and murderous intent.
"Pa!" Ou Yangming slammed his palm on the conference table, causing it to shake. If the conference table was not specially made, Ou Yangming would have shattered it with his strength as a Dou Huang.
"A small, down-and-out member of the royal family actually dared to hurt my daughter. If he doesn't vent his anger, does it really mean that my Ouyang family is afraid of his Xuanyuan family?”Ou Yangming narrowed his eyes and glanced at all the elders before him.
"Patriarch, I think this is a good opportunity. All these years, we have been silently supporting the Xuanyuan family from behind, which is why they have been firmly in charge of the imperial family. However, in the past few years, the Xuanyuan family has begun to feel that they have grown up and started to look down on our Ouyang family. Why don't we test the Xuanyuan family's reaction?”a white-haired man who looked like a young man sitting on Ou Yangming's left said.
"Yes, Third Elder is right. I've long planned to try the Xuanyuan family, but I don't have an excuse. You're right. The matter of Xuanyuan Chen seriously injuring Ying 'er can be made into a big issue.”Ou Yangming nodded and sat down.
"But what excuse do we have? According to our investigation, Xuanyuan Chen is only 15 years old this year. After his parents mysteriously disappeared and the Xuanyuan family announced their death, the Xuanyuan family regarded him as a chess piece. If we want to use him as an excuse to test the Xuanyuan family, wouldn't it be insufficient?”An old man sitting at the end of the conference table said.
"Yeah! With the Xuanyuan family's attitude towards Xuanyuan Chen, it is very likely that even if we kill Xuanyuan Chen in front of the Emperor, the Xuanyuan family may not be moved. Then how can we achieve the purpose of probing the Xuanyuan family?”Another old man added.
That's right, how could killing a pawn be of much use?
"Otherwise." The white-haired young man whom Ou Yangming addressed as Third Elder stood up with a smile."Although Xuanyuan Chen is insignificant in the eyes of the Xuanyuan family, that was in the past. Things are different now. I think the Xuanyuan family has also received the news that Xuanyuan Chen defeated Ouyang Fan and Ying 'er. Ouyang Fan, who had become a Dou Ling Sword Master at the age of 16, was highly regarded by the Xuanyuan family. Now, Xuanyuan Chen, the son of the royal family that they had originally wanted to give up, had defeated Ouyang Fan, the genius in their eyes, at the age of 15. Could they still look at Xuanyuan Chen as before?”
All the Elders 'faces revealed a stunned expression when these words sounded. This was because they recalled that a fifteen year old had defeated two Dou Ling Sword Masters. This was a genius. They could not help but be moved.
The Third Elder seemed to be very satisfied with this effect. He smiled slightly and continued,"Moreover, according to Ying 'er's description and Huang' er's description of how Xuanyuan Chen's sword contained Dou Qi Howl in the monthly test, I believe that Xuanyuan Chen definitely does not have the strength of a Dou Huang. Instead, it is very likely that he is close to or already has the strength of a Dou Huang.”
"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar.
The third elder knew that he had attracted the attention of all the elders, so he exchanged a glance with Ou Yangming and smiled knowingly. Ou Yangming cleared his throat after Third Elder sat down."Elders, it's impossible for the Xuanyuan family not to know what we know. Now, their Xuan Yuan clan might have a genius. A fifteen year old genius who could become a Dou Huang. Was this not enough?”
"Yes, definitely enough." All the elders nodded.
"However, since Xuanyuan Chen is so powerful, it won't be easy for us to deal with him!”One of the elders voiced his doubts.
"Haha!" "That's right, it's not easy to deal with a Dou Huang's strength. Even our empire only has nine Dou Huangs. However, everyone knows that Dou Huangs are also divided into different levels. It is true that Xuanyuan Chen is a genius, but it is very likely that he is only close to a Dou Huang. Even if he is a Dou Huang, with his age, it is impossible for him to be an existence at the peak of the Dou Huang class. It should be known that the First Elder and the Third Elder were both Dou Huangs. A young man who was still wet behind his ears would not be able to reach this height no matter how talented he was. Even if he had the strength, he would not exceed the strength of a rank three Dou Huang. Therefore, I have decided to play big this time. This time, I will trouble the Great Elder and the Third Elder to personally capture Xuanyuan Chen alive and send him to the royal palace. In front of all the ministers, I will ask the Xuanyuan family to give justice to our Ouyang family and ask the Xuanyuan family to execute Xuanyuan Chen on the spot.”
"Good!" An elder slammed the table and stood up, saying,"Clan Leader is wise. We will use Xuanyuan Chen's injury to our Ouyang Clan's Eldest Miss as an excuse to demand justice from the Xuanyuan Clan and execute their genius on the spot. This way, we can truly see the Xuanyuan Clan's reaction. However, there was one person he had to be careful of.”
"Who is it?" Ou Yangming asked.
"The number one expert in our country, the principal.”
"It would be even better if he came forward. Let's see how brilliant this principal, who is known as the number one expert, is. Don't forget that our clan still has a rank nine Dou Huang that is close to a Dou Zong.”Ou Yangming was stunned when he heard the name 'vice-chancellor,' but he responded coldly.
When the decision that seemed to decide Xuanyuan Chen's fate was made, Xuanyuan Chen was practicing the Nine Stars Sky Qi Refinement Technique.
However, when he slowly stopped cultivating, it was already noon, but Xuanyuan Yi was still nowhere to be seen. This made Xuanyuan Chen a little worried. Because this was not like Xuanyuan Yi's personality. In the past, no matter what, if Xuanyuan Yi went home, he would tell him. If he didn't go home, Xuanyuan Yi would come back every afternoon to have lunch with him. It had been like this for the past two years, and there was no exception.
"Did something happen?" Xuanyuan Chen felt uneasy.
As soon as this emotion appeared, Xuanyuan Chen couldn't hold it in anymore. This was because Xuanyuan Yi, this friend, was too important in his heart. Now that he had the strength, he couldn't allow anything unexpected to happen to him.
He grabbed the Destruction Sword and unlocked it. He left the room and rushed out.
When they walked out of the dormitory building, they suddenly heard someone downstairs say,"" Xuanyuan Chen is really useless and useless. I don't know how he defeated Ouyang Fan, but he harmed his friend. Last night, someone saw Ouyang Ying bring three people away with Xuanyuan Yi.”
