Doorway
Zhu Wuneng leaned against the simply decorated courtyard wall, looking at the tightly closed black lacquered gate, and couldn't help but mutter, "Young master, what are you doing here? You went around in circles just to visit this family? It doesn't look particularly grand."

Chen Xiaojun stood with his hands behind his back, calmly surveying the three-courtyard Tang-style courtyard, and replied indifferently, "Just passing on some messages and telling some things."

"Young Master, your riddle is quite..." Zhu Wuneng scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Dugu Fu, standing to the side, crossed his arms and scoffed, "You're not a mind reader, so if you don't understand, just stay put and go draw circles over there. Don't make a fuss here."

Chen Shurui immediately chimed in, "That's right, Wuneng, your sixth brother brought you out here to broaden your horizons. The key is to observe more and talk less! Learn from this!"

Zhu Wuneng's face fell as he was teased by the two: "Ahem, Eighth Young Master, when did your mouth become so bad, like Poisonous Snake's?"

Chen Bin glanced at him expressionlessly and uttered three words: "You're hateful."

Zhu Wuneng: "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Liang interrupted him: "Uh, Wuneng, Sister Yi, Cuilan, and Ningxia are coming down. Aren't you going to go and serve them? What are you standing here for?"

Zhu Wuneng choked, glanced at Xiao Yi and the others who were walking over gracefully, and had no choice but to swallow his words.

Zhu Yanfeng walked up to Chen Xiaojun and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, is this the only one?"

"Hmm." Chen Xiaojun nodded.

A look of understanding and interest flashed in Zhu Yanfeng's eyes: "Then... we'll have to take a good look."

He added meaningfully, "Just what kind of person is the wife and child that Dou Jing cherished so much, so dearly as to be completely infatuated with him?"

Just then, with a soft creak, the tightly closed black lacquered door opened a crack, and the butler, Wu Mingde, stepped out with a professional, apologetic smile. He clasped his hands in greeting to the group of distinguished young men and women outside the door:
"Gentlemen and ladies, I am truly sorry. My master is away and has not returned, and my wife is feeling unwell today and is unable to receive guests. I am extremely sorry to have troubled you all. Please forgive me and come to visit another day."

Did I get turned away?
Hey, this is the first time Chen Xiaojun has been turned away since he left home.

The habitual, gentle smile on his face froze for a moment, then faded away, though a hint of amusement flickered deep in his eyes.

He looked at Wu Mingde's face, which was full of sincere apology, and chuckled softly, his tone slightly sarcastic: "Heh... does the host think I'm an unwelcome guest?"

Wu Mingde's heart tightened, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "No, no, no, young master, you are too kind! It's just that Madam is truly unwell today, and Master is not home. I really dared not neglect our distinguished guests, that's why..."

The slight upturn at the corner of Chen Xiaojun's lips slowly flattened: "No, Butler Wu, you're not wrong, I came here this time..."

He paused, then calmly uttered a few words, "They really came here to be unwelcome guests."

Wu Mingde's smile froze, his pupils contracted slightly: "Wh...what?!"

Chen Xiaojun stopped looking at him and called out softly without turning her head, "Uncle Changyun."

"Yes, young master!" Zhu Changyun, who had been silently standing by his side, responded and moved.

With a low shout, a powerful surge of soul power erupted, and six soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black—instantly lit up!
His skin was covered with a thick layer of keratin, followed by purple soul rings, and then sharp, angular royal brown rock armor that shimmered with an earthy yellow light (Earth Armor).

At the same time, a huge yellow shield with sharp stone spikes along its edges appeared in his hand.

The shield and armor are integrated, doubling the defense.

He strode forward and walked straight toward the gate of the Dou residence.

Wu Mingde's expression changed drastically, and he reacted extremely quickly. With a low roar, six spirit rings suddenly rose from his feet.

His body underwent an instantaneous transformation: his skin rapidly hardened and was covered with thick, bluish-gray metallic scales; his body size noticeably increased and expanded; his limbs became thick and powerful, especially the outer sides of his arms and the joints of his shoulders and elbows, which were covered with hard bone plates; his entire being exuded an aura of immovable, heavy defense.

The Azure Scale Iron Wall Beast is a rare soul beast that excels in both defense and strength. Its figure flashed, blocking Zhu Changyun's path, a layer of bluish-gray light, like a solid barrier, condensing before it.

"Gentlemen, what does this mean? Are you breaking into a private residence?!"

Zhu Changyun answered him with his actions.

With a thick arm, he swung the huge stone armor shield, without any fancy moves, carrying a dull wind pressure and an earthy yellow soul power light, and smashed it hard towards Wu Mingde, who was blocking his way.

The air was compressed, creating a popping sound!
Wu Mingde gritted his teeth, and a bright bluish-gray light shone from where his arms were crossed. The barrier's halo instantly solidified, resembling a real steel barrier.

They met it head-on!

"Boom!"

A dull, loud bang exploded at the entrance of No. 13 Zirong Street!

The shockwave generated by the violent collision of soul forces violently blew up the dust and gravel on the ground, causing the nearby wisteria trellis to rustle and petals to fall like rain.

Two Soul Emperor-level power-defense Soul Masters clashed head-on, creating a terrifying spectacle.

The moment the two clashed, Chen Xiaojun, without even glancing at the battle, strode confidently toward the half-open door.

This scene left everyone somewhat stunned.

Dugu Fu blinked and whispered to Chen Mu beside him, "When did Young Master... become so domineering and decisive?"

This was somewhat different from the gentle and refined Chen Xiaojun he remembered, who always acted only after careful consideration.

Chen Mu patted his shoulder, his face showing a moment of surprise, then a hint of understanding: "It seems we'll both have to learn to adapt from now on."

After saying that, he took a step without hesitation and followed closely behind Chen Xiaojun.

Seeing this, everyone immediately realized what was happening and followed suit.

"Thieves have broken into the mansion! Stop them!" A guard's angry shout rang out from inside the gate.

The loud noise and intense fluctuations in soul power had already alerted the guards inside the mansion.

A dozen or so guards dressed in uniform and armed with weapons rushed out from inside the gate and the walls on both sides of the courtyard, led by a Soul King captain named Mu Jingming. Their Soul Rings lit up (mostly at the third or fourth level), and they rushed straight towards Chen Xiaojun and his group!

"Hmph!" Dugu Fu snorted coldly, his figure gliding out, and a cold, pale green mist instantly spread around him. The phantom of the snake flashed behind him, his hands forming blades, and he met the nearest guard with a vicious gust of wind.

Ma Wencai let out a clear cry, his body shone with a bright orange-red light, his speed increased dramatically, and he nimbly darted and weaved through the enemy lines, his fiery soul power clinging to his fists and feet as he attacked from the other side.

The level 58 Soul King, Mu Jingming, was taken over by Chen Shurui.

Xiao Yi, Gao Cuilan, and Su Ningxia had also approached.

Su Ningxia asked in surprise, "Miss, shall we go in?"

Gao Cuilan chimed in softly, "Yes, Miss, the young master... seems to have changed a bit?"

Xiao Yi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her clear eyes reflected the back of Chen Xiaojun as he stepped into the front courtyard of the Dou residence.

She didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, and with graceful steps, led Gao Cuilan and Su Ningxia through the chaotic battlefield at the entrance, and into the gate of the Dou residence.
