Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 160 - 157: It’s Fine to Entrust Noy’s Life to Him!
"I understand."
Upon hearing the incredibly sincere words of entrustment from the Dragon King, Su Yuan nodded heavily.
He grabbed Chen Nuoyi’s wrist with one hand and drew the Chi Yuan Sword with the other.
As spiritual power was frantically infused into the Chi Yuan Sword, its blade began to flicker with a wild crimson glow.
Its power had clearly exceeded the safe limit.
Bang——
The next moment, the Chi Yuan Sword shot out, pierced through the curtain of rain, and drew a red streak of light, taking Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi away from the spot, flying straight towards Jinhua Mountain.
The starting speed of the Chi Yuan Sword was not much slower than Mai Bahe.
In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two turned into two tiny dots, with only the red glow of the Chi Yuan Sword flickering.
Left at the scene were only Chen Yifeng and the Dragon King.
One was an incredibly formidable figure, one of the strongest in Taihua City.
The other was an old, decadent man who only today took up his sword again.
Judging by appearances, the strength between the two was not equal at all.
If a fitting metaphor had to be used, Grandpa Chen might as well be the Dragon King.
While the Dragon King was just an overconfident Dragon Slayer.
A battle between them was imminent.
However, after three seconds of silence, the Dragon King slowly sheathed his sword.
He never intended to fight, let alone stop Grandpa Chen.
If Su Yuan was here, he would have cursed this old guy for acting!
But in reality, Grandpa Chen had no intention of chasing after Su Yuan, simply nodding towards the man in front of him, he said:
"Chen Liangchen, not bad acting."
"After all, considering my daughter’s lifelong issue, I won’t drop the ball on such matters."
Chen Liangchen leaned against Mai Bahe’s ship, looking at the distant Su Yuan, he couldn’t help but feel:
"This kid Su Yuan, aside from employing some Demon Dao tactics, is actually quite loyal and emotional."
"But it seems being a demon isn’t incompatible with being emotional."
Chen Yifeng slowly said:
"I also didn’t expect this kid to have so many tricks, enough that I had to personally step in to keep the act going."
"But this is good, given his talents and the connection with the Taibai Phecda, entrusting Nuoyi’s future to him isn’t a problem."
After a moment of silence, Chen Liangchen suddenly asked:
"Father-in-law, if Su Yuan didn’t pass your test, what would happen to Nuoyi?"
"Would you really suppress her bloodline and cut off her immortal path?"
"Even if Nuoyi agreed, would the board agree?"
Chen Yifeng was silent for a moment before he said:
"When your wife passed away, to avoid repeating old tragedies, I did indeed think of suppressing Nuoyi’s bloodline, letting her live a stable, ordinary life."
Chen Liangchen was immediately anxious upon hearing this:
"Father-in-law, this kind of thing..."
But before he could finish, Chen Yifeng interrupted:
"But don’t you realize how special the Chen Family’s bloodline is?"
"Do you know how long it takes to create a secret technique to suppress the Chen Family bloodline?"
"Could I have predicted the breakdown of our marriage alliance with the Li Family and prepared in advance?"
"This so-called secret technique is still in the PPT stage; time’s too short."
"Even if we took Nuoyi and Su Yuan back, it would only be a birthday surprise at best."
Chen Liangchen suddenly understood.
No wonder the family board hasn’t done anything; they simply didn’t approve any funding to develop the secret technique.
Since the secret technique didn’t exist, they naturally understood this grandpa and grandson were just play-acting.
Thinking for a bit, Chen Liangchen added:
"And what about Chen Xian?"
Chen Yifeng chuckled:
"Chen Xian? He’s no match for Su Yuan."
"If I really made him the Chen Family’s in-law, do you believe the real groom on the wedding night would be Su Yuan, and he’d be left as the lookout at the door?"
"After all, he’s only my adopted son; getting bullied by Su Yuan is fine, but their enmity shouldn’t escalate."
Chen Liangchen laughed helplessly.
By the time they finished speaking, a minute had passed.
"We should get going, or else when those kids come to their senses, we’ll be exposed."
Grandpa Chen calmly reminded as he took the back seat of Mai Bahe.
As he sat, the water vapor inside the flying ship was instantly expelled.
Meanwhile, Chen Liangchen skillfully took the front seat and started up Mai Bahe, heading back toward Taihua City.
"Liangchen, it’s about time to return to the family. I’ve settled the 16.8 billion burden on your shoulders."
"Even though Yalin has passed, you’re still part of the Chen Family."
Chen Yifeng looked at the rain outside the window and said calmly.
Chen Liangchen did not even look back, he merely replied:
"Let’s talk about this after Nuoyi gets into college." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"I don’t want to go back; after all, as you put it, father-in-law, the Chen Family is too dark."
"Furthermore... beer is really tasty."
Jinhua Mountain Town.
The Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm, being the largest secret realm in Taihua City in nearly fifty years, was naturally under tight guard.
When Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi rushed to the town gates, they were immediately stopped by two Foundation Establishment Stage guards.
"The Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm is a forbidden zone, no trespassing! Who are you two?"
The guards looked at Su Yuan as if they were security guards looking at a food delivery guy, holding their explosion-proof forks.
To show he had no hostile intentions, Su Yuan willingly put away the Chi Yuan Sword.
After tidying his hair, blown into disarray by the strong wind, he said sincerely:
"Guard brothers, I am Master Taibai’s student, I have an urgent matter to see him."
"Master Taibai’s student?"
One of the guards looked Su Yuan up and down, then realized:
"You are Su Yuan, the one who topped the Eight Schools Joint Exam?"
"What, Master Taibai actually mentioned me to you two? Am I really that important to him?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was somewhat moved to tears.
Teacher Taibai, you deserve to be my true teacher!
When I erect your tombstone in the future, it won’t be gold-plated; it’ll be made of pure gold!
Then, the guard nodded and said:
"Master Taibai specifically asked us to take care of you by immediately ejecting you if you dared come to the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm to find him."
Su Yuan: "..."
Damn it, Old Deng Taibai, your tombstone just turned into wood, I’m telling you!
No matter how much Su Yuan cursed Taibai Phecda in his heart, the guards didn’t hesitate for a moment and thrust a fork at Su Yuan.
The move was clearly one of the Divine Fork Eighteen Techniques!
Su Yuan hurriedly pulled Chen Nuoyi to sidestep and avoid the thrust, his heart filled with urgent worry.
They couldn’t afford to be stopped at the gate!
Now, a minute had already passed, the Dragon King was probably dealt with, and Grandpa Chen could attack at any moment!
Being caught at the entrance would be unforgivable!
In this critical moment, suddenly, Su Yuan noticed a figure flashing past behind the town gate.
Su Yuan’s eyes lit up instantly; he hurriedly seized the guard’s fork thrust and earnestly said:
"Wait a moment, I misspoke earlier, I’m not here for Old Deng Taibai... teacher; I’m here for her!"
"We’re friends!"
With that, Su Yuan pointed to the figure behind the gate.
He pointed not at anyone else but Ye Muyu.
That distinguished Great Cultivator of Golden Core Peak, born from the Observing Heaven Pavilion, with those unforgettable Golden Eyes.
"You and Instructor Ye... are friends?"
The guard looked back at the person Su Yuan pointed to, then looked back at Su Yuan, with a strange expression, and asked.
"I believe I am."
Su Yuan said with utmost sincerity.
