The next day, when the sun had just risen, Zhao Chen got up from his bed, washed up, and went to the courtyard to stand still. After completing the daily morning cultivation class, he ran to the kitchen.
The ownership of this courtyard belonged to Uncle Hai San. Due to his powerful strength and special status, at his request, although the area of this courtyard was not as big as the other higher-ups, it was quiet and deep.
Third Master Hai was a person who liked peace and quiet. Therefore, when he was assigning the living environment, he immediately set his eyes on the most remote independent small courtyard.
Whether Uncle Hai San was married or not, he was only adopted by Zhao Chen and the other two…He could be considered an adopted son and daughter. Other than a few servants, there were only the four of them in this courtyard.
This was exactly what Zhao Chen and the other two wanted. The three of them liked peace and quiet, and they were no different from Third Master Hai.
After going to the kitchen and casually eating some breakfast that the servants had already prepared, the sky was already completely bright. Zhao Chen saw that the sky was almost up, so he walked towards the backyard of the entire Zhao Manor. Along the way, he met many people who came forward to greet Zhao Chen.
Obviously, these Zhao Family disciples already knew the news of Zhao Chen surviving the disaster. Regardless of whether they were familiar with him or not, each of them took the initiative to go forward and ask about his well-being, chatting about this and that.
Although he was disgusted by these fake smiles, Zhao Chen still suppressed his discomfort and responded to them one by one.
Previously, in order to gather energy to wake up again, the Imperial Sister had absorbed Zhao Chen's True Qi for several years, preventing him from entering the Qi Refinement Realm. It was not enough. Yesterday, she had Zhao Chen welcome the heavenly lightning into his body again, and finally, she had gathered enough energy.
However, even so, Zhao Chen's ability to reach the later stage of the Bone-Forging realm at such a young age was countless times stronger than the other Zhao family disciples.
Little did they know that Zhao Chen was a very cautious and low-key person. In front of others, he had always revealed that he was only in the later stage of the Bone Forging realm. Other than Uncle Hai San and his sisters, he had never told anyone that he could step into the Qi Refining realm at any time.
The reason why Zhao Chen had been stuck at the peak of the Bone-Forging realm for the past few years was that once Zhao Chen converted his inner strength into True Qi, it would be instantly absorbed by the green lotus. Otherwise, he would probably have entered the Connate realm by now.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen did not say the reason. Otherwise, it might have caused a commotion.
Therefore, after Zhao Chen had retreated from the Qi Refinement realm to the Bone-Forging realm, no one had noticed it, much less ridiculed him.
Zhao Chen had remained at the later stage of the Bone-Forging realm for the past few years. Although he could not be compared to the top geniuses in the clan in the eyes of the clan's higher-ups, he could still be considered a young genius.
In addition, his elder sister, Zhao Feixue, and younger sister, Zhao Hanyan, were both top geniuses in cultivation, so there was no such thing as a slave bullying his master.
However, due to the two girls 'peerless beauty, Zhao Chen, who could often be in close contact with the two of them, was naturally viewed with hostility by many male young disciples of the Zhao family. He could not avoid being troubled by others for no reason.
Zhao Chen was very clear in his heart because he, his eldest sister, and Yan 'Er were not really members of the Zhao family. Everyone in the Zhao family was also very clear.
Therefore, other than Third Master Hai, all the other members of the Zhao family felt a little uncomfortable about imparting the martial arts techniques of the family to these three "outsiders" who did not have the Zhao family bloodline in their bodies.
Unless the three of them could truly integrate into the Zhao family, and the way to integrate into the Zhao family was to choose to marry into the Zhao family.
The reason why Zhao Chen was so clear was because he had overheard a conversation a few months ago. It was a conversation between a certain elder of the Zhao family who had personally come to find Uncle Hai San to matchmake Zhao Feixue, wanting her to marry his eldest grandson.
Without any surprise, Uncle Hai San still rejected him very straightforwardly. The elder was not angry, but before he left, he said,"Third brother, you have to think carefully. My grandson is not even twenty years old, but he has already opened seven meridians and reached the late stage of the qi layer. He is the number one person in the younger generation of the Zhao family.
If you don't make a decision now, don't regret it later. If it were any other old geezers in the future, they wouldn't be as easy to talk to as me. The patriarch and the elders only let those three children learn so many martial arts of our Zhao family because of you. It's impossible for them not to integrate into our Zhao family!”
That night, Zhao Chen did not sleep well. He thought that the treatment of those who were not his biological children was indeed different. It was also from that moment that a hint of thought appeared in Zhao Chen's heart. If his cultivation was successful in the future, he would definitely bring his eldest sister, Yan 'Er, and the others away from the Zhao family.
The reason why those old fellows could still tolerate them and continue to pretend to be snakes with the three of them was purely because the potential that the three siblings had shown was worth recruiting. In addition, they had Third Uncle Hai to support them.
If anything happened to Uncle Hai San, or if the three of them reached a certain age, or if their strength reached a certain level, the Zhao family would think of ways to make the three of them completely integrate into the Zhao family...
This made Zhao Chen very angry. However, he was not angry for himself. He was angry for his eldest sister and Yan 'Er.
When he thought about how the two girls would inevitably suffer in the future and be forced to marry into the Zhao family by those old fellows, Zhao Chen could not help but feel an inexplicable anger in his heart. He had the urge to kill.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about Uncle Hai San, who had saved his life, raised him, and taught him, Zhao Chen would have taken his eldest sister and Yan 'Er away from the Zhao family, a place that he hated.
Anyway, with the imperial consort around, there was no need to be afraid of any danger. At the very least, there would not be any danger in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.
"Sigh! In the end, it was still because he was not strong enough! If I can possess one-thousandth, or even one-ten-thousandth of the Empress's strength, I'll kill anyone who dares to lay a finger on Eldest Sister and Yan 'er!”
Unknowingly, Zhao Chen had already passed by the middle court and was about to reach the backyard.
Just as Zhao Chen was about a hundred feet away from the backyard, a figure suddenly circled around from behind and blocked Zhao Chen.
This place seemed very remote in the entire manor. There was no one around. It was a shortcut to the backyard in the manor. Zhao Chen chose this path to save time.
"Zhao Chen, you're finally willing to come out and stop being a coward! I thought that after you were struck by the heavenly lightning yesterday, even if you were lucky enough to not die, you would at least become an idiot!”
Hearing this voice, Zhao Chen knew that trouble was coming again. Because he was usually close to his eldest sister and Yan 'Er, trouble like this had never stopped.
