Chapter 214 A Gentleman Wants a Fair Lady (asking for monthly tickets)
Quiet.

You can hear the needle drop.

Inside the main hall of the central courtyard of the Zhou residence, the guests who came to congratulate shut their mouths when they saw the people at the two tables in the inner circle, and some even dared not breathe.

These people knew very well that the closer the person was to Jingye Hou Chen Yuan, the higher his status was, and they could not afford to offend him.

Even if they didn't know Lin Xueru and the others, anyone with a brain would know that the identities of Wang Yang and Xie Dong'an from Kyoto Academy could not be wrong.

What's more, sitting next to Lin Xueru was Lin Jixin, the son of Lin Hansong, Duke of Xing.

Several servants in the Zhou mansion did not dare to speak. Some of the smart ones had already quietly left to report to Zhou Tiance and Chen Yuan.

At this moment, Xie Dongan saw that the scene was quiet for a moment, and quickly stood up to block Wang Yang, and signaled Jiang Ye and Wei Jinyu to hold him.

After doing all this, he bowed to Lin Xueru and the others and said:

"I apologize to you on behalf of my senior brother. My senior brother's words were a little inappropriate because the matter involved Kyoto Academy. I hope you can forgive me."

Wang Yang's face became uglier when he heard this, but he was held down by Jiang Ye. He heard a voice transmission in his ear:

"Brother, today is the auspicious day when Chen Yuan succeeds to the title of Marquis of Jingye!"

"If you continue to make trouble, it will not only embarrass you, but also our Kyoto Academy and several teachers!"

"..."

Wang Yang glanced at him and subconsciously opened the fan and fanned himself twice, as if to calm himself down.

He glanced at the flower fairy with an unpleasant expression, and felt even more annoyed.

He already understood why he was targeting Chen Yi...

But "a beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream".

No matter how far-fetched it is for some people, he still can't let go!

Seeing this, Jiang Ye felt relieved and also stood up and apologized with a smile:
"Senior Sister Xiao, Senior Sister Hua, please consider that we fought side by side in Nanman and let this go."

Xiao Xuanzhen glanced at him and said, "It would be better if you didn't mention this. If you mention the Nanman incident, you two still owe Junior Brother Chen Yi a life!"

Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye smiled bitterly, this was true.

Back then, inside and outside the secret territory of Southern Barbarians, if Chen Yi had not taken action, it would be hard to say whether they could return to the Wei Dynasty.

The Flower Fairy looked at Wang Yang and the others, then gently pulled Lin Xueru and said:

"Senior Sister, let Senior Brother Chen handle this matter."

Here they could only argue with Wang Yang and others.

If Chen Yi was here, things would be different!

Lin Xueru paused, nodded and said, "That's fine, then let's wait for Brother Yi to arrive."

Having said that, she sat down first and ignored Wang Yang and the others.

Xiao Xuanzhen beside him glanced at Wang Yang, then sat down with Flower Fairy and others.

Gu Tiangang looked at the few people with a smile, and his eyes fell on Lin Xueru and praised:
"Yes, my good disciple was full of vigor just now."

The little girl blushed: "Master, you are making fun of me."

"I dare not. I am afraid you will complain to nephew Chen Yi."

"I won't..."

After a few words, the tense atmosphere was resolved.

But the guests around knew clearly in their hearts that the calm at the moment might be the prelude to the coming rainstorm.

It is not difficult to hear from the argument just now that it was because of the newly promoted Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi.

"Marquis Yingwu, if such a domineering person knew about this, I'm afraid we would be in for a lot of fun."

"Look, but don't speak."

"How dare I? I'm not that person from Kyoto Academy..."

"Oh, did you hear that? The young gentleman just said that it was Marquis Yingwu who forced Wuliangshan to seal himself off for a hundred years?"

"I heard it, too. He did say that."

"Is it really him?!"

"No wonder Marquis Yingwu came from the west last night. He must have just returned."

"hiss!"

"So, Marquis Yingwu first experienced a great battle in Wuliang Mountain, and then met Liao Wei?"

"It's terrible..."

The discussions around him made Wang Yang's face look even uglier. If he had not practiced in Kyoto Academy for many years, he would have disregarded his face at this moment.

After Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye looked at each other, they both felt miserable in their hearts.

They had seen Chen Yi take action several times and knew that he had a bad temper.

"Angel, what should I do?"

"How should I know what to do?!" Xie Dongan was already a little annoyed with Wang Yang.

It would be fine if this senior brother made trouble in the Kyoto Academy, but his classmates and teachers would not do anything to him because of Lin Zhongke.

But now he is outside the school, and the person he is facing is not someone else, but the murderer who just killed "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei yesterday!
"How about asking a few gentlemen to come forward?"

"No, no!"

Xie Dongan thought about it again and again, then shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, maybe it would be okay for a few gentlemen to come, but not for Brother Yi."

If Chen Yi could be suppressed by someone, he would not go to Wuliang Mountain alone.

Jiang Ye looked embarrassed and looked at Wang Yang with resentment.

"That's fine too."

Chen Yuan, who heard about what happened in Zhongtang, rushed over, took a look, and seeing that the matter was settled, he returned to the front yard without saying a word.

"Has the situation been pacified over there?" Zhou Tiance asked calmly, "Who is causing trouble?"

Chen Yuan said calmly: "A clown who doesn't know anything, he won't cause any trouble."

Zhou Tiance nodded and didn't say much.

For him, nothing today was more important than congratulating Chen Yuan on his succession to the title of Marquis of Jingye.

At this time, the servant at the door sang again:
"Wuliang Mountain's top disciple Lou Wushan and three of his fellow disciples came to congratulate us!"

"Two top disciples from Yuhua Immortal Sect are here to congratulate us!"

Chen Yuan paused when he heard the voice, then turned his head to look at Zhou Tiance, his eyes flickering slightly:
"Grandpa, are you related to Yuhua Xianmen?"

Zhou Tiance frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "I don't know, maybe they are with Wuliangshan."

Chen Yuan snorted secretly, stopped talking, and turned his head to look towards the entrance.

After a while, he saw six young men coming together.

Four of them were his fellow geniuses from Wuliang Mountain, and the leader was Lou Wushan, the legitimate son of Lou Yuchun.

There were two other Taoists, one male and one female, wearing the colorful Taoist robes of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

"Brother Chen Yuan, when we parted at Wuliang Mountain that day, I didn't expect that when we met again, you had already inherited the title of Marquis Jingye. Congratulations."

Lou Wushan has a well-proportioned figure and looks very similar to Lou Yuchun, almost a younger version of Lou Yuchun.

He was wearing a Wuliangshan Taoist robe, with a whisk and a wine gourd hanging around his waist. His hair was not very neat, but was tied up in a messy style.

Chen Yuan took a look and asked coldly, "Brother Lou, have you just arrived in Kyoto Prefecture?"

"I guess so. I arrived yesterday."

Lou Wushan bowed to Zhou Tiance and said with a smile, "Junior brother, do you want to ask me if I know anything about the sect?"

"You are worrying too much. Before he left, my father had already told me the reason for closing the mountain, and ordered us to attend the grand event and the Tianyuan Continent selection without worry."

Hearing this, the three people beside him did not smile like him. Instead, they showed some resentment on their faces, and it was obvious that they were still concerned about Wuliangshan's self-proclaimed title.

Chen Yuan nodded without comment and said, "You are a guest, please come in."

"Sorry for bothering you."

As he spoke, Lou Wushan, still smiling, walked towards the central courtyard with his fellow geniuses.

The remaining two disciples of Yuhuaxianmen followed behind. After one of them congratulated Chen Yuan, he looked at Zhou Tiance and paused.

"Old Marquis, I am Zhou Wu from Yuhua Xianmen. I learned of our family's happy event and came uninvited. I hope you can forgive me." Zhou Tiance was about to say something polite, but after seeing his slightly familiar eyes, his face changed slightly and he said in a voice transmission:
"Why are you here? What a joke!"

The person who came did not show it on his face. He walked around him and went to the back, while transmitting a voice message:
"Don't worry, old marquis. I just came here to ask for a glass of wine."

"You don't mind, do you?"

Zhou Tiance had a wooden face and a slightly bitter look in his eyes, and ignored his words.

Chen Yuan seemed to notice his abnormality, "Grandpa, is there something wrong with those two people?"

"No, no."

Zhou Tiance hunched over, looking a little tired as he said, "When you get old, you'll always feel powerless."

Chen Yuan looked at him for a while, then nodded and signaled Chen Kuang to take him downstairs to rest.

"Leave this to me..."

After Zhou Tiance and Chen Yan left, Chen Yuan's sword intent spread and covered the central courtyard at the back.

He felt relieved only after he was sure that Gu Tiangang and his companions had not come into conflict with the geniuses from Wuliang Mountain and Yuhua Immortal Sect.

It's approaching noon.

As fewer and fewer people came to Zhou’s house to congratulate him, Chen Yuan became anxious again.

"No one has come to Wu'an Marquis's Mansion... Is my second brother coming?"

……

In the market town not far from Jingye Marquis Mansion.

Chen Yi found a tavern and sat down alone. He asked the waiter to bring a pot of wine and ordered two dishes to go with the wine.

At this moment, he had already changed into the purple robe that represented his status as a Marquis of Wu, with a badge hanging around his waist, and was drinking calmly.

The diners at the neighboring table were silent as they quickly cleared the drinks and food on the table without even raising their heads.

It's amazing that these people, who are used to being so crude, can maintain speed without making any noise.

They couldn't help but be frightened, because Chen Yi's purple robe was too terrifying.

In the thousand years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there have been a total of eight military marquises who were qualified to wear the purple robe at the same time, but now the ninth one has appeared.

He is also the most special Wu Hou, the one most respected by the people of Kyoto Prefecture!
Chen Yi ignored the strange looks of the diners around him and drank his bland wine while waiting for the "witch" to come.

Originally, he should have gone straight to Jingye Marquis Mansion after leaving Kyoto Academy, but after he changed into Wuhou purple robe, he received a message from Wenren Ying.

Therefore, he asked Chen Taiping to return to Chen Mansion first, and left only a coachman waiting.

"Is there anything that cannot be told through voice?"

Wen Renying rushed over and replied in a voice transmission: "Oh, my lord~ It's not that I don't want to, but this matter is really serious, I dare not be careless~"

She's not stupid.

It was possible to transmit the message about what she had discovered last night, but in that case, she would not be able to get the reward from the adults immediately.

Especially after she knew that the blood core of "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei was in Chen Yi's hands, she did not dare to neglect it for a moment, for fear that the blood core would be lost.

After all, that was the blood core of a powerful being in the realm of supernatural powers. It was a rare material whether used for refining pills or making magical tools.

If Chen Yi used it during this period... Wen Renying would probably regret it and slap herself twice.

It didn't take long.

Wenren Ying came hurriedly with enchanting steps. After taking a quick look around, the fox tail hidden behind her emitted an evil aura that stunned everyone present.

"My lord, you should be careful too."

Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "No one within a hundred miles will notice this place."

Wenren Ying admitted her mistake with a sweet smile, then walked over and sat down opposite him.

"Your Excellency's majestic performance last night was truly magnificent. The pillars of the demon court cannot even compare to yours~"

Chen Yi ignored her compliment, poured a glass of wine, and said calmly: "Just say it, I have something else to do."

"My Lord, you are too anxious. I..."

Before she finished speaking, Wen Renying saw Chen Yi's unhappy look and immediately changed her words:

"I made a great discovery last night, so I was targeted by that demon."

Chen Yi retracted his gaze and drank a glass of wine. "I don't like beating around the bush. If you want another wooden sword, don't waste your words."

Wen Renying licked her lips unconsciously, and her face became more charming as she obviously thought of the power of the wooden sword last night.

"My Lord, please listen to what I have to say~"

As she spoke, Wen Renying started talking about the last time she and Chen Yi separated.

"After I sneaked into the Zhao family in Fengtong Street, I wanted to control them according to your instructions, but I found that the Minister of Rites Zhao Ruixiang was out."

"I followed him all the way to the residence of Jingye Marquis Zhou."

"Zhou Mansion?" Chen Yi paused: "Are you sure?"

"I dare not deceive you, sir~" Wen Renying did not wait for him to ask again and continued:

"The 'Black Impermanence' replaced Zhao Ruixiang's identity and went to Zhou Mansion to find the old Marquis Zhou."

"From their conversation, I just learned that Zhao Xiangrui was actually Liao Wei, the 'Black Impermanence' in disguise. This really scared me."

"From what Liao Wei said, he seemed to want to persuade the old marquis to deal with your elder brother, and he also gave the old marquis a bottle of elixir."

"According to my understanding of the Demon Court, the elixir in that bottle should be a vicious thing that controls people's minds."

"But Lord Zhou seemed unwilling to do so. After my lord brother arrived, Liao Wei left in a hurry..."

Control the mind?

Chen Yi sneered in his heart, this old guy is still harboring evil intentions!

However, the old guy's connection with the Demon Court is deeper than he imagined, and he can even communicate with "Black Impermanence".

"anything else?"

"Later, just as I was about to leave, I discovered that another person came looking for Lord Zhou."

Wen Renying patted her chest in fear and asked, "Who do you think the person who came later is?"

Chen Yi glanced at her and thought, "Is she from the Hidden Dragon or the God Worship Sect?"

Wen Renying seemed surprised and said: "My Lord, you are so good at predicting things. I admire you from the bottom of my heart~"

"The person who came is none other than the leader of my family's Baishen Sect!"

"Moreover, when I was returning, I met 'Black Impermanence' Liao Wei, and I learned from him that the sect leader's name was Zhou Guanwu!"

"Zhou Guanwu?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at her, and asked: "Did Black Impermanence say this himself?"

Previously, the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man had also said that Zhou Guanwu was not dead, but he did not reveal his identity.

Now after hearing what the "witch" said, he felt that Zhou Guanwu was hiding a lot of secrets.

It was as if there was a layer of fog covering him, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

"Yes~ This is absolutely true~"

Wen Renying came closer eagerly, revealing a bit of her pinkness beneath the black robe.

"Before the Black Impermanence wanted to kill me, I fought with it for a long time before I found out all this."

Chen Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Why did it tell you this?"

If Zhou Guanwu worships as the leader of the Divine Sect, it should be a top-notch secret in the Demon Court. Even if "Black Impermanence" regards Wenren Ying as a dead person, it should not be told.

Wen Renying paused, tilted her head and said, "I don't know either."

"I just told it that I came to Kyoto Prefecture to assassinate 'Dakong Buddha'."

"In addition, I also said that this was the order of the master of the sect, specifically to assassinate the Buddhist genius."

“Then ‘Black Impermanence’ became a little angry, saying that it had long seen that Zhou Guanwu was not trustworthy, and that the Demon Emperor Fengyue had trusted the wrong villain, and so on.”

Assassinating the Buddhist genius is unbelievable...

Chen Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then asked:
“So, the Demon Court did not ask the God Worship Sect to assassinate the Buddha’s Tianjiao, but the God Worship Sect’s Sect Master.”

"So it was Zhou Guanwu himself who requested it, and that's why Black Impermanence was angry?"

But, what is the connection between these things?
