Bao'er was very efficient; in no time, she had bought all the clothes and herbs.
After Chu Yan simply washed up and changed his clothes, Bao'er helped him dry and comb his hair, then he looked into the bronze mirror, observing his defined facial features and deep, sharp eyes, and smiled with satisfaction: “That’s more like it! Only this handsome appearance is fitting for this Young Master.”
Bao'er, watching from the side, was also slightly captivated. The current Chu Yan, dressed in a white Qing Shan, with a tall and straight physique, was like a completely different person from the beggar he had been earlier.
“Young Master, you are truly beautiful!”
“Bao'er speaks so sweetly, this is for you.” Chu Yan found some low-grade Blood Replenishing Grass from the herbs Bao'er bought and handed them to her: “Take one every morning and evening for seven consecutive days, then come find me again.”
“Thank you, Young Master.” Bao'er was pleasantly surprised. Although Blood Replenishing Grass was inexpensive, it was not something that servants like her could afford to take.
Chu Yan smiled and nodded. Then he lowered his head; now that he was finally clean, he could check his own condition.
With that thought, Chu Yan sat down in a meditative pose, his five senses closed, and entered a state of meditation. Before long, his Primordial Spirit appeared before the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower in his Dantian.
Looking at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower, Chu Yan mobilized his Origin Qi, and immediately, three Star Bursts appeared in his Dantian.
“Is it a Three-Star Life Body?”
Chu Yan grinned. Although a Three-Star Life Body was not high, it had already reached the level of a normal person. He was not in a hurry, because the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower had only opened its first layer. The further he went, the higher his Life Body would become, eventually breaking through to Nine Stars.
Therefore, he did not dwell on the Life Body, but directly probed his cultivation and Physical Body.
“Fan Chen Realm Third Layer, a thousand jin Physical Body.”
Chu Yan became increasingly excited. This proved that he had completely shed the title of a good-for-nothing, and he had even broken through two layers overnight.
After confirming his physical condition, Chu Yan stood up, determined to go for a walk. After all, this would be his home from now on, so he needed to get familiar with it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, he saw two sneaking figures. He was slightly taken aback, then laughed. These two figures were actually the two guards who had stopped him yesterday?
“You two, stop!” Chu Yan shouted.
The two guards were startled, then both tried to pretend they hadn't seen Chu Yan and were about to flee the scene.
Chu Yan was momentarily stunned, not expecting such an attitude from the two. He quickly moved in front of them and smiled: “Heh heh, I say, you two, you knelt yesterday, why don’t you recognize Big Brother today?”
The two guards felt a wave of injustice. One of them, named Zhao Wu, glared at Chu Yan: “How dare you even say that! You good-for-nothing, what are you pretending to be so important for? You even said you’d cover us, but if we had known you were a good-for-nothing, we wouldn’t have knelt for anything!”
“Exactly!” the other, Zhao Liu, chimed in.
Hearing their words, Chu Yan chuckled, then cleared his throat twice: “How do you two know this Young Master is a good-for-nothing?”
“The entire Tian Yong City knows about it, how could it be false?”
“Then why can’t it be false?” Chu Yan smiled: “I ask you, have you ever thought, if I were truly a good-for-nothing, would Uncle Liu still allow Liu Qingcheng to marry me?”
The two frowned. It sounded like there was indeed some truth to it, but Zhao Wu still stubbornly said: “Then why do they say you are a good-for-nothing?”
“I’ll tell you a secret. Not only am I not a good-for-nothing, but I am actually a Genius, an unparalleled Genius! Uncle Liu is worried that I’ll be favored by other Families and taken to be their son-in-law, that’s why he made others mistakenly believe I am a good-for-nothing.” Chu Yan opened his big eyes and began to talk nonsense.
But the most crucial thing was that Zhao Wu and Zhao Liu actually believed him. However, Chu Yan wasn't really lying; he truly was no longer a good-for-nothing, and soon he would indeed become a Genius.
Chu Yan put on a grand and mature facade, patting the two on the shoulders: “Silly children, given that you knelt before this Young Master yesterday, from now on, follow this Young Master, and I will not treat you poorly.”
“Thank you, Son-in-Law!”
Zhao Wu and Zhao Liu once again submitted to Chu Yan.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the Liu Family gates. Qin Feng arrived outside the Liu Family gates with several Qin Family Disciples.
Upon seeing Qin Feng, the female Disciples of the Liu Family all became infatuated.
“Look, it’s the Third Young Master Qin of the Qin Family!”
“He’s so handsome! And I heard his talent is extraordinary. Oh, if Young Miss Liu Qingcheng could marry him, how wonderful that would be! If our Qin and Liu Families were to marry, it would definitely be a beautiful story in Tian Yong City. It’s a pity, Young Miss insists on marrying that good-for-nothing Chu Yan.”
Hearing the praise from the Liu Family female Disciples, Qin Feng’s lips curved into a smug smile. Although he could not marry Liu Qingcheng, he was still very happy to hear these words.
“This kind of appearance is considered handsome? Then, after this Young Master settles in Tian Yong City, won’t I be shockingly divine?”
Chu Yan grinned when he saw Qin Feng from behind, then tilted his head and Asked Zhao Wu and Zhao Liu: “I ask you, who is this kid?”
“This kid?” Zhao Wu and Zhao Liu felt a moment of awkwardness upon hearing this address. In Tian Yong City, there weren’t many who dared to address Qin Feng in such a way, were there?
“Son-in-Law, you don’t know, he is the Third Young Master Qin of the Qin Family. Because he Awakened a Four-Star Life Body, he is now a key cultivation target for the Qin Family and is very famous in Tian Yong City.”
“A Four-Star Life Body? Is that very impressive?” Chu Yan smacked his lips.
“...!”
Zhao Wu and Zhao Liu were speechless again. You, a One-Star Life Body, have the nerve to say that?
“But Son-in-Law, you should still be careful. This Third Young Master Qin has always been Young Miss Liu Qingcheng’s number one suitor, and he is a ruthless person who stops at nothing. Now that you are to marry Young Miss Liu Qingcheng, he probably won’t give up easily.”
“My marriage has nothing to do with him.” Chu Yan looked disdainful. In his opinion, Qin Feng was just a minor character, not worth caring about at all.
Just then, Zhao Tu hurried out of the mansion. He was quite polite when he saw Qin Feng.
“Third Young Master Qin? What brings you here today?”
“Where is Liu Qingcheng?” Qin Feng said with a cold tone: “I heard Liu Qingcheng is getting married? I specially came to offer my blessings.”
Zhao Tu frowned. He wasn’t a fool. This Qin Feng had always been Liu Qingcheng’s number one suitor. Would he really come to offer blessings now that Liu Qingcheng was getting married?
So, thinking of this, he didn't know whether he should let Qin Feng see Liu Qingcheng.
“My wife is not here, you can tell me whatever it is.”
But just as Zhao Tu was at a loss, a discordant voice sounded. Chu Yan, with a piece of straw in his mouth and his hands in his pockets, walked through the crowd. Zhao Wu and Zhao Liu followed behind him, and they actually had an Aura that was not inferior to Qin Feng’s.
“Oh, who is this person?” The girls of the Liu Family were slightly startled when they suddenly saw Chu Yan.
“Yes, he’s really handsome, even more handsome than Third Young Master Qin.”
“Look closely, doesn’t he resemble that Chu Yan a little?”
“Don’t say it, he really does look alike! By the way, he just said that Young Miss Liu Qingcheng is his wife. Could he be that dirty Chu Yan from earlier?” A Liu Family girl exclaimed.
Zhao Tu also had a splitting headache when he saw Chu Yan. Just Qin Feng alone was enough to make him troubled, and now Chu Yan had appeared too?
However, why did he feel that Chu Yan was a little different?
Zhao Tu had been in the Liu Family for quite some time and had seen countless people, but looking at Chu Yan now, he actually found himself a little unable to see through him.
It was as if a unique temperament emanated from Chu Yan, with a hint of wickedness.
“Young Master Qin, he is that Chu Yan.” A Disciple beside Qin Feng whispered.
Qin Feng nodded, sizing up Chu Yan, then revealed a playful expression: “So you are Liu Qingcheng’s fiancé.”
“Yes, I know you too. I heard you’ve been pursuing my wife, but she never agreed, right? It’s okay, you can continue to pursue her after we get married. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t be jealous. Who can blame me when my wife is so beautiful? Beautiful women always look better with a few backups, don’t they?” Chu Yan grinned, letting out a cold laugh.
“Hiss—!” The Liu Family members all gasped at this moment, and Zhao Tu’s old Face also stiffened. He had no idea that Chu Yan would use such malicious words to humiliate Qin Feng as soon as he opened his mouth.
Qin Feng clenched his fist, but he quickly relaxed it. He was not someone who acted on impulse; on the contrary, he knew what it meant to endure. Stabbing someone in the back was what hurt the most.
“Heh heh, kid, don’t worry, I will continue to pursue her. Just don’t cry when your wife eventually follows me.”
“Don’t worry, my wife isn’t blind!”
“You…”
Qin Feng’s facial features were twitching. At this moment, a Qin Family Disciple next to him couldn’t stand it: “Kid, how dare you! We are from the Qin Family. Even Liu Tianfeng shows some respect when he sees our Young Master, let alone you, a bastard from who knows where!”
Swish!
Chu Yan’s eyes changed, and the Qi around him became heavy. He looked towards the Qin Family Disciple.
“What did you just say? Say it again!”
Chu Yan’s change was evident to all, and everyone was startled. Even Zhao Tu showed a hint of surprise at this moment. Around Chu Yan, he seemed to see a natural king’s Aura burning.
The Qin Family Disciple was also startled, but since he was a Qin Family member and Qin Feng was by his side, he immediately calmed down.
“I said you are a bastard! What can you do to me?”
“Slap!” As soon as the Disciple spoke, Chu Yan flicked his sleeve, and a forceful gust of wind lashed out, slapping the Disciple’s Face directly.
The slap was heavy. The Disciple spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back several steps, and glared fiercely at Chu Yan.
“You little bastard, even the Liu Family dares not offend our Qin Family, and you dare to hit me?”
“The Qin Family? Descendants of Qin Poshan? Qin Poshan was indeed remarkable back then, serving as the Grand General of Cavalry for the Changlong Country. In the early thirty-sixth year of the Changlong Country’s founding, when the northern barbarians launched a massive invasion, Qin Poshan, as if divinely aided, led a hundred-man squad straight to the Dragon, taking the enemy leader’s head from among thousands of people and breaking the enemy army.” Chu Yan said indifferently.
The Qin Family Disciple was stunned. He didn’t even know who Qin Poshan was, only that the Qin Family Old Ancestor had indeed been the Grand General of Cavalry for the Changlong Country back then. He proudly raised his head: “How about that, now you know to be afraid, right?”
However, Chu Yan disdainfully rolled his eyes at the Qin Family Disciple.
“But… so what? Is that very impressive? Don’t say Qin Poshan is dead now; even if Qin Poshan crawled out of his grave and continued to oversee your Qin Family, what then? You Ask him, does he dare to touch me? Perhaps the Liu Family fears you, but I, Chu Yan, am not afraid. Let alone hitting you, even if I kill you, I can still make your Qin Family not dare to even utter a sound!”
Arrogant!
Chu Yan was simply arrogant, but the surroundings were suddenly silent. Especially Zhao Tu, his eyes held a hint of suspicion as he looked at Chu Yan.
From the very beginning, he had been curious: what exactly was Chu Yan’s identity? He could ensure the Liu Family’s stability for ten years, and now he had directly named the Qin Family’s founding Ancestral Master?
