C530 – Zhang Xuan Was Depressed
“Marry? No way! Father and Auntie Xia Meng aren’t even married themselves. How can they marry my mother?” Nannan looked at Chen Shizhong disdainfully.
Grandpa Chen always asked strange questions, making Nannan wonder what was wrong with him.
Taoist Immortal Jiang stood nearby, lost in thought. He looked at Chen Shizhong and jokingly asked,
“Master Chen seems to be very invested in Mister and Miss Qianrou’s relationship.”
As he said that, Taoist Immortal Jiang stared at Chen Shizhong, hoping to learn something.
“Brother Jiang, you’re overthinking it. I’m just curious about what kind of family could raise such an adorable child!” Chen Shizhong quickly denied any ulterior motives and attributed it to his fondness for Nannan.
However, Taoist Immortal Jiang detected a hint of anxiety in Chen Shizhong’s expression.
Could it be… was there a connection between Chen Qianrou and the Chen family?
Taoist Immortal Jiang couldn’t shake off his suspicion, but he didn’t want to jump to conclusions just yet.
He decided to observe Chen Shizhong and the Qianrou family more closely to see if there was any link between them.
The thought briefly crossed Taoist Immortal Jiang’s mind before he immediately dismissed it.
Qianrou and Chen Ming were both individuals from the Soul World.
The Soul World was a small world that was slightly more powerful than the Blue Star. It had no connection to the Chaotic Battlefield and was completely unrelated to it.
However, Chen Shizhong’s actions had raised suspicion in Taoist Immortal Jiang. No matter how he looked at it, Chen Shizhong’s explanation seemed to be a cover-up.
Suddenly, Taoist Immortal Jiang couldn’t help but let out a surprised chuckle. The young lady was Qianrou’s daughter. Was there anyone in this world who could scheme against the young lady without her knowing?
At that moment, a terrifying energy wave emanated from the Void, causing everyone to feel suffocated despite its distance.
The violent energy fluctuation created a shrill whistling sound in the sky above the Chen family. It seemed as though the family’s defensive formation could be breached at any moment.
The expressions of the Chen family’s elders instantly changed. They quickly reinforced the defensive formation.
“Who is battling here? It’s like they’ve transcended time and space.”
An elder of Chen family said in shock.
Taoist Immortal Jiang was stunned for a moment. What did this mean?
The two of them were fighting in a different time and space?
Could it be that there was really someone who could cross the limitations of time and space and fight with others?
Why did it sound like a fantasy?
Didn’t this mean that the ancient experts could communicate with them from a distant time and space?
If the ancient people were strong enough, wouldn’t he be able to reach the future at his peak?
“This is… Mister’s aura!”
Suddenly, Taoist Immortal Jiang felt that this aura was very familiar. He immediately sensed that this was Sir’s aura.
Sir was fighting someone!
Taoist Immortal Jiang was shocked. There was actually someone in this world. Someone who could compete with Mister.
“Taoist Immortal Jiang, what do you mean? You mean, this is… Zhang Xuan?”
Chen Shizhong pointed in the direction of Heavens Battlefield.
The elders of Chen family’s heart skipped a beat. This was absolutely impossible.
The strength of the two people fighting in the Void had definitely surpassed the Monarch Stage. They had even reached the legendary Heavenly King Realm.
Zhang Xuan was only a few years old. Even if he started cultivating in his mother’s womb, he wouldn’t be able to reach the Monarch Stage in such a short period of time, let alone those above the Imperial Emperor Realm.
Taoist Immortal Jiang nodded, indicating that the one who was fighting was Zhang Xuan.
A few elders of Chen family exclaimed, “How is this possible?”
“Aiyah, daddy seems to be fighting someone. We should go back now.”
Nannan casually touched her mouth and motioned for Taoist Immortal Jiang to quickly take out the Divine Ship. Then, they set off for home.
“Little girl, what are you going back for? It is so dangerous there. If you go back, your dad will be distracted to take care of you. Why don’t you stay here and play for a few days? Wait until your dad beats the enemy away before you go back!”
Chen Shizhong stopped the little girl and said.
“Aiya, as a child of a small courtyard, how can he be afraid of danger? Furthermore, Nannan is very powerful! Nannan’s strength is very great!”
Nannan said and easily broke free from Chen Shizhong’s hand.
Chen Shizhong was stunned and looked at Nannan in shock. His hands were numb.
The strength of this little girl in front of him was far beyond his imagination.
When he came back to his senses, Nannan’s group had already left on the Divine Ship.
“Shizhong, what happened to you?”
An elder of the Chen family looked at Chen Shizhong curiously.
Chen Shizhong smiled bitterly, “My hands are numb, I can’t move!”
“This girl’s strength is too great. Even a late Imperial Emperor wouldn’t be a match for her!”
“Pfft!”
That elder directly spat out the tea that had just been poured into his mouth.
“How is this possible? She’s only so young!”
“You’ll know when you have time to try!” Chen Shizhong looked at the elder unhappily.
“Now I want to go and see Zhang Xuan. What’s wrong with him? How did he train this little girl to be so powerful?”
Chen Shizhong said and stood up to look in the direction of the courtyard.
……
In the courtyard.
After looking at the dog for a while and confirming that he was really alright, Zhang Xuan returned to his room.
The moment he returned to his room, his expression immediately pulled back.
Zhang Xuan clenched his teeth and tried to keep his voice down. He growled, “System, explain to me why you’re limiting my strength! Give me a reasonable explanation!”
If it weren’t for the system’s restrictions, he would have defeated the owner of the giant hand long ago. The dog’s transformation would not have been interrupted.
It was unbelievable that his Void’s lightning was ignored by the giant hand. How was this even possible?
The system had reduced the power of his supernatural ability to less than one-thousandth of its original strength.
Furthermore, the system had forcibly suppressed his strength. Without the system holding him back, Zhang Xuan could have easily defeated the giant hand with a flick of his wrist.
However, the system remained silent and issued a mission for Zhang Xuan to present some calligraphy and paintings to the Imperial Lord of the Nine States, as if nothing had happened before.
Zhang Xuan felt sulky and suddenly didn’t want to carry out the mission.
It was only then that he realized he had become too reliant on the system. If the system intervened again during their next fight, any mishap could lead to life-threatening consequences.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Zhang Xuan became.
As if sensing his thoughts, the system added a countdown timer to the mission panel, giving him only an hour to complete the task. The punishment for failure was also explicitly stated.
If Zhang Xuan failed to complete the mission within an hour, he would be castrated.
Zhang Xuan “……”
Despite his rage, Zhang Xuan had no other option but to stand up and leave.
Zhang Xuan swore to himself that he would find a way to remove the system from his body. He no longer wanted to experience being controlled by it.
Unbeknownst to Zhang Xuan, as soon as he closed the system’s interface, a line of text appeared on the screen.
“All of this is for your protection!”
Zhang Xuan walked out of the courtyard and noticed a few Imperial Lords gazing at him with admiration.
Little did anyone know that at that moment, a hunting group’s fleet of Divine Ships was racing towards the courtyard.
“Hurry up! The commander promised that if we demolish the courtyard, he will assist us in reaching the Imperial Emperor realm!”
