I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 104 Why should I, Chen Xuannan, explain to others what I have done in my life?
"Chen Xuannan! What on earth did you feed my horse? Why did it suddenly stop running?"

Prince Li Yang of Jing'an angrily scolded Chen Xuannan, who looked like a stable boy, standing next to him.

Li Yang, flattered by others, rode his horse for a few laps on a whim.

That is, horse racing with other royal children.

Of course, no one dared to run ahead of him. After all, this was his home and his father had a high status in the royal family.

After playing for a while, Li Yang felt a little tired, so he got off the horse to have a rest.

At this time, Chen Xuannan fed the horse something. When Li Yang had rested enough and rode on it again, the horse refused to move no matter what, so he transferred his anger to Chen Xuannan.

Many people at the scene were Li Yang's companions, or lackeys. Seeing the Crown Prince scolding Chen Xuannan, they also began to criticize him.

Some of them had conflicts with Chen Xuannan in the past, and now they say even more unpleasant things.

"Hmph, I knew you weren't that kind-hearted. You must be doing something bad on purpose! You want to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhappy!" A burly young man sneered, his eyes full of hostility towards Chen Xuannan.

"That's right. You're just a groom, and you dare to play tricks in front of us? Get out if you have the guts, so that I can give you a good fight and let His Royal Highness vent his anger!" Another young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks echoed, his face full of sarcasm.

At this moment, the crisp sound of a horse stopping broke the surrounding noise.

I saw a woman in gorgeous clothes riding a tall horse slowly entering the racecourse.

She is Chen Xuannan's wife, Princess Li Ling.

She is also Li Yang's biological sister.

With the appearance of Li Ling, several of the people who had just ridiculed Chen Xuannan showed looks of admiration.

After Li Ling got off the horse, her eyes gently swept over everyone and finally stopped on Chen Xuannan.

She knew Chen Xuannan's character very well and knew that he would not do such a thing for no reason.

So, she stepped forward and whispered to Li Yang, "Brother, today is father's birthday party, please calm down. These horses have always been taken care of by Chen Xuannan. He must have his special reasons for doing this."

As she spoke, Li Ling turned around and looked at Chen Xuannan, her eyes full of expectation, hoping that Chen Xuannan would explain something.

However, Chen Xuannan just shook his head lightly and was too lazy to explain.

He sneered in his heart: "Why should I, Chen Xuannan, explain to others what I have done in my life?"

Seeing this, Li Ling sighed helplessly, perhaps she was used to it.

Then he turned around and continued to comfort Li Yang, "Brother, Chen Xuannan has never been good at speaking, but please believe him, he will never do anything to hurt the horse, and he has no intention of disturbing your interest."

Li Yang calmed down temporarily because of his sister's plea.

In fact, Chen Xuannan has been raising horses in the palace for many years, and his understanding of horses is deep-rooted.

He had already seen that the horse had been injured while running just now, and if it was not treated in time, it would probably have serious problems.

This is the horse he has raised for many years.

So, Chen Xuannan fed the horse some herbs during the rest, hoping to help it recover.

As a son-in-law of the royal family for many years, he knew very well that his explanations were futile in front of those who wanted to scold him.

What's the use of explaining? Those who don't like him will still find all kinds of reasons to scold him.

Therefore, he simply chose to remain silent and stop wasting his words.

If he had not received help from Li Ling when he was on the verge of life and death many years ago, he would not have bothered to come to the Jing'an Palace to be a son-in-law in order to help Li Ling who was in trouble.

Chen Xuannan has another unknown identity, he is a reincarnated person.

In his previous life, he was the Xuannan Reverend who roamed the continent for a hundred years in ancient times. When facing the heavenly calamity, due to his unstable foundation, he failed to transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven, and died regretfully.

The reason why Chen Xuannan was able to be reborn and preserve his memory was because he once obtained a treasure called the Life Lock.

This treasure could preserve a trace of his soul and allow him to reincarnate when he died, but the life lock broke after being used once.

After living a new life, Chen Xuannan learned from his mistakes and practiced steadily from the Kaimai realm, which lasted for ten years.

Who knew that he would encounter danger when he started practicing again. At that time, he was suppressing his cultivation at the Kaimai Realm and his cultivation was very low. His Chen family was attacked by their enemies and the family suffered heavy casualties.

If Li Ling had not passed by on the official road and hidden him in the sedan chair, he might have really died.

Then Chen Xuannan stayed in Prince Jing'an's mansion and helped Li Ling raise horses.

Chen Xuannan was a man of affection and righteousness. When he heard that Prince Jing'an was publicly setting up a competition to select the county horse, that is, the princess's husband.

But the princess didn't like those people very much, so he showed off his skills, won the championship in the arena, and became Li Ling's husband.

It has to be said that Prince Jing'an is a man of his words.

There is a peculiar thing about Chen Xuannan, that is, he is not lustful and only wants to practice.

So after being a county lord here for three years, he never even touched Li Ling.

This is also the main reason why many people hate Chen Xuannan. This kid just occupies the stove but does not light the fire.

Li Ling was beautiful, had a high status, and was also the daughter of Prince Jing'an.

Countless people in the imperial capital were looking forward to this opportunity to make the leap from a carp to a dragon, and even though Chen Xuannan had gotten it, he still did nothing.

Now he has reached the middle stage of the Six Harmonies Realm, but he has never revealed it.

In Chen Xuannan's opinion, as long as Li Ling finds someone he really likes, he will leave and concentrate on his cultivation. Nothing makes him more obsessed than standing guard at the gate. Because of his sister Li Ling's dissuasion, Li Yang did not continue to get angry, but just said to Chen Xuannan: "Let this horse run for me, and let's forget about today's matter."

But Chen Xuannan remained unmoved, and Li Yang felt a little embarrassed.

How dare you, a son-in-law, treat me like this?

Today I will teach you a profound lesson. Even my father can’t stop me!

It is true that his father, Prince Jing'an, did not come, but there was someone who came who could be stopped.

Li Chen had no intention of stopping him. He and Pang Jin were just watching the show nearby.

However, Li Ling was worried that Chen Xuannan would be dealt with. She happened to see Li Chen passing by, so she immediately knelt down and greeted him, saying, "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

When Prince Li Yang heard this, he was shocked, and his anger disappeared immediately. He immediately turned around and greeted Li Chen.

This is the current emperor. Li Yang is just bullying because of his status as a prince. He is nothing in front of Li Chen.

"Everyone, get up. Today is the birthday banquet for Prince Jing'an. No need to be polite."

At Li Chen's signal, everyone stood up.

Li Yang and others were very excited. They had heard that the new emperor not only had a high status, but also had outstanding strength. Now they saw that he was indeed a man of heaven and a supreme being!

Especially those unmarried powerful women here, they almost drooled when they saw Li Chen appear.

They all crowded over, wishing they could hug Li Chen's thighs tightly and become his concubine.

Li Chen didn't have time to deal with them. He waved his hand and told them to go play by themselves.

His words were like an imperial decree, and these people could only leave with regret.

Li Yang even forgot about Chen Xuannan's affairs.

Even if he was angry, he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Li Chen.

At this time, Princess Li Ling came to Li Chen and expressed her apology and gratitude.

There was no way she could hide her little thoughts from Li Chen, and Li Chen didn't care about it. Instead, he walked to the horse.

At this time, Pang Jin beside him began to explain: "Your Majesty, the horse must have been injured just now, and it is recovering after taking the herbs. It has not been active during the recovery period."

Others may not be able to see it, but Pang Jin understands this very well because he comes from a hunter family.

Pang Jin’s job is to see what Li Chen is interested in and then give an answer.

This is an emperor who has reached the great perfection of the Saint Realm, and Pang Jin is one of the few people who knows this secret.

In addition, Li Chen has a very good reputation among the court officials and usually does not put pressure on them.

Pang Jin felt it was an honor to work for such an emperor, and he did his best.

Li Chen glanced at the royal children who were riding horses and shooting arrows around him, and then said to Li Ling beside him: "Are you dressed like this to prepare for the Spring Festival?"

Li Ling nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and I also want to achieve certain results to repay the emperor's grace!"

She wanted to go to the battlefield, but how could Prince Jing'an allow his daughter to go?

Li Ling thought that as long as she achieved good results in the Spring Search and accepted Li Chen's reward, King Jing'an would not be able to stop her.

After encouraging Li Ling, Li Chen left and continued to look for a place with fewer people to scrape water.

Li Ling watched Li Chen's leaving back with a burning gaze, and did not come back to her senses until he disappeared from her sight.

This scene was seen by Chen Xuannan who was standing next to him. Chen Xuannan asked in confusion: "You want to be the emperor?"

Hearing this, Li Ling showed a slightly horrified expression, then covered Chen Xuannan's mouth and said, "Are you crazy? Are you allowed to say these things?"

Chen Xuannan was a venerable in his previous life, and he did not have much respect for the imperial power.

Just now he observed that Li Ling's eyes were full of longing for Li Chen, and this longing was not love, it was nothing more than wanting that power.

If Li Ling wanted to be emperor, he could try his best to help as a way of repaying his kindness.

Who doesn't want to be an emperor? Li Ling just thought that it would be great if he could be as free as Li Chen.

Who knew that Chen Xuannan would find out.

Fortunately, no one nearby heard it, otherwise Chen Xuannan would probably be in big trouble again.

Li Ling asked him not to say such things in the future. Chen Xuannan said he understood, but he was already planning how to help Li Ling get what she wanted.

In recent years, Chen Xuannan has been silently contributing to Li Ling. No matter whether Li Ling encountered troubles in cultivation or had problems in other aspects, he would secretly provide help, but he never left his name.

When he helped Li Ling, he didn't care whether Li Ling needed it or not, as long as he felt it was needed.

Until now, Li Ling didn't know that Chen Xuannan had been helping him.

I thought Chen Xuannan was just a cultivator with good talent.

In fact, there is not much affection between the two of them, they are just living together.

After all, they fell in love over time, but they didn't even take the first step.

On the other hand, a heavyweight guest came to Yunlu Academy today.
