The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

"That's good," Chen Xuan nodded. "Since that's the case, then you should join our Azure Dragon Army. I believe your great-grandfather will be very pleased when he finds out."

Before Chen Guan could say anything, the other generals burst into curses, "Chen Xuan, you're shameless! You can't compete with us, so you try to curry favor!"

"Chen Guan, you don't need to pay attention to him. No matter which legion you join, your great-grandfather will be very pleased."

No wonder everyone was unwilling to let go; a melee warrior was simply too tempting!

Having finally encountered a lone earth infantry division, they were determined not to let it go easily.

Chen Xuan was furious at being insulted to his face and immediately retorted, "How am I shameless? Aren't I stating the facts? You are the shameless ones! Chen Guan is a member of my Great Xuan Mansion, what are you arguing about here!"

At the same time, Chen Xuan started calling for reinforcements. In the end, he was no match for the crowd, and one mouth could not defeat many mouths.

the other side.

Upon receiving Chen Xuan's message, the members of the other three legions immediately dropped everything they were doing and rushed towards the direction of the Heavenly Passage.

Swish swish!

Three people rushed out from the encampment of the four major legions of the Great Xuan Mansion.

They are Zhang Ruobai, the eldest grandson of Zhang Yu, the commander of the White Tiger Legion; Lin Xu, the eldest grandson of Lin Dong, the commander of the Black Tortoise Legion; and Ji Lan, the adopted granddaughter of Ji Ling, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion.

Although Ji Ling has never married, she adopted a child many years ago, and Ji Lan is that child's daughter.

These three, along with Chen Xuan, grew up together and had a close relationship. Now, each of them commanded an army in one of the four major legions, so Chen Xuan contacted them first.

The three talked as they traveled.

"I know that kid Chen Guan. How did he suddenly become a military strategist? Has this kid reformed?"

Upon receiving Chen Xuan's intelligence, Zhang Ruobai still finds it unbelievable. Even if a prodigal son returns, there should be a limit, right?

Of the three, the most composed Ji Lan said, "The news should be true, otherwise so many legions wouldn't want to win him over. But Lao Zhang, your suspicion is not without reason. I also feel something is not right."

A glint of wisdom flashed in Ji Lan's eyes, and she quickly continued, "I think there are only two possibilities at the moment: one is that Chen Guan has been switched with someone else, and the other is that Chen Guan has been hiding his talents since childhood. Which possibility do you lean towards?"

Lin Xu chuckled and said, "Regardless of the possibility, he must be a member of our Great Xuan Mansion."

Yes, in the eyes of the three, whether this "Chen Guan" was switched or was hiding his true abilities, his identity must be that of a member of the Great Xuan Mansion. Otherwise, the Great Xuan Mansion would not have remained silent. Their silence speaks volumes.

Soon, Lin Xu said again, "Hehe, this is interesting. I wonder who this person is."

It's not hard to tell from Lin Xu's words that he actually leans more towards the idea that Chen Guan was switched with someone else.

Zhang Ruobai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who do you think it could be?"

Ji Lan rolled her eyes at Zhang Ruobai and said, "Do you think anyone in our Great Xuan needs to hide their identity on the battlefield of the heavens?"

Upon hearing what Yi Lan said, Zhang Ruobai and Lin Xu simultaneously thought of the same name and blurted out, "Su Yu!"

Ji Lan didn't say anything, she just nodded.

Poor Su Yu, at this moment he was unaware that his true identity had been exposed as soon as he arrived at the Battlefield of All Heavens.

He is currently dealing with the generals of numerous legions.

Zhang Ruobai gasped and looked at Lin Xu: "Your cousin is too bold!"

Lin Xu remained silent. According to their family circumstances, he and Su Yu were indeed cousins, but the age gap was quite large. He was almost ninety years old, while Su Yu was only nineteen.

Zhang Ruobai continued, "Old Lin, remember to try and get on his good side later."

Lin Xu immediately rejected Zhang Ruobai's suggestion, saying, "No, I'm not familiar with him, and who knows how much he's resenting my grandfather right now."

Zhang Ruobai said in a low voice, "Ahem, what your grandfather did was really not right...too feudal, too old-fashioned."

Lin Xu said speechlessly, "We didn't know about this beforehand. Besides, what's the use of telling me this? If you're so capable, go ahead and tell me in front of my grandfather."

Lin Xu had been staying in the Battlefield of the Heavens for years and was unaware that his family was actually putting on an act with Su Yu. The Lin family had not told him that Su Yu was their cousin; Lin Xu only found out from others.

Zhang Ruobai coughed twice. How could he dare to complain in front of Lin Tong? He had been beaten before when he was a child.

······

The three of them soon arrived at the Heavenly Passage and saw "Chen Guan" surrounded by a crowd from afar.

Chen Xuan quickly spotted Lin Xu and the other two, and shouted, "Here!"

"Damn it, Chen Xuan, you shameless bastard, you actually called for backup!"

Chen Xuan retorted without hesitation, "Who told so many of you to gang up on me? Am I not allowed to call for help?"

"Fine, fine, fine, then we'll call in reinforcements too! Who's afraid of who!"

Chen Guan quickly stepped forward to stop them, the scene making him both amused and exasperated. "Generals, that's enough. There are already enough people. There's no need to call anyone else."

Now that things have come to this, Su Yu feels he must find a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise the more people who are watching him, the more dangerous it will be for him.

Soon, Su Yu turned his attention to Chen Xuan and his group of four. He thought, "Why don't I go to the four major legions first, and then find an excuse to leave?"

Having made his decision, Su Yu did not hesitate. With a hint of apology on his face, he said, "Generals, I apologize. I just thought about it, and as a member of the Great Xuan Clan, it is more appropriate for me to join one of the Four Great Legions."

"Hahaha, did you hear that? Chen Guan said he'd join our four major legions, so you guys can forget about it."

Upon hearing that "Chen Guan" had made his choice, Chen Xuan laughed heartily, presenting himself as a victor to the crowd.

At this moment, Chen Xuan had no time to figure out "Chen Guan's" identity; he was busy arguing with the other generals.

Ji Lan and the other two did not remind him that now was not a good time to communicate.

Upon hearing Chen Guan's decision, the others all showed expressions of disappointment, and they were even more furious at Chen Xuan's attitude.

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, everyone turned and left.

Chen Xuan laughed and came to Chen Guan's side, grabbed him by the collar, and flew with him towards the base of the four legions. Ji Lan and the other two exchanged glances and followed closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, the five returned to the base of the four legions.

Inside the tent, Ji Lan dismissed the surrounding soldiers, and the four of them stared intently at "Chen Guan".

On the way back, Ji Lan and the other two had already told Chen Xuan their speculations, so now all four of them knew Su Yu's identity.

Su Yu felt a little uneasy being stared at by the four men. "Generals, why are you staring at me? Is there something you need Chen Guan for? If so, please speak up."

The four men exchanged a smile and said, "Alright, stop pretending. We've already guessed who you are! Su Yu!"

Startled that his identity had been revealed so easily, Su Yu thought, "Didn't the Lord of the Manor say he would help me keep it a secret? How come..."

Su Yu, still unwilling to give up, said, "Generals, please stop joking about Chen Guan. How could I possibly be that guy, Su Yu?"

Zhang Ruobai laughed and said, "We all guessed it. You're still pretending. We know Chen Guan well. Putting aside whether he will turn over a new leaf, his cultivation as a weapon forger is beyond his capabilities. Therefore, he was very likely switched."

Afterwards, Zhang Ruobai told Su Yu about their guesses, and Su Yu quickly understood why he had been exposed.

His performance was excessive; those familiar with Chen Guan would not believe it.

Su Yu didn't think it was his fault. After all, outstanding people can't hide their talents. He was very confident in his ability to conceal them. If anyone was to blame, it was Chen Guan for acting so useless. Otherwise, people wouldn't have made so many connections. It was all Chen Guan's fault.

Judging by Su Yu's skill in shifting blame, anyone who didn't know him would think he was the head chef of some restaurant. He really knows how to pass the buck.

Even though his identity had been exposed, Su Yu wasn't flustered at all. He might have worried about other people, or even tried to silence them, but these people in front of him were allies, and Su Yu was confident that they would never betray his identity.

Su Yu glanced at the four men and said in a deep voice, "There is no Su Yu here, only Chen Guan. You four generals can just treat me as Chen Guan. My identity is registered with the Lord of the Prefecture."

Chen Xuan nodded. "Don't worry, we understand."

Ji Lan asked, "What are your plans next?"

Su Yu thought for a moment. Since his identity had been exposed, there was no need for him to make up an excuse to leave. So he directly stated his plan: "I prefer to travel alone."

“I understand,” Ji Lan instantly realized that this kid couldn’t stand the strict rules of the army and liked to wander around, which also matched her understanding of Su Yu.

Ji Lan then took out a document and said, "Since you are unwilling to stay in the army, you should take a good look at this document. It contains information about the battlefields of the heavens and the myriad races of the heavens. It is much more detailed than the document from the Heavenly Palace. This is our internal document."

Su Yu took the documents, didn't look at them immediately, and said earnestly, "Thank you."

"I still don't know how the four generals are addressed?" Su Yu asked.

Chen Xuan cheerfully introduced himself to Su Yu: "My name is Chen Xuan, and I am currently a commander in the Azure Dragon Army. Oh, by the way, Chen Ping is my grandfather."

"This is Zhang Ruobai, the commander of the White Tiger Army, from the Zhang family."

"This beautiful woman is named Ji Lan, and she comes from the renowned Vermilion Bird Army."

"This person is somewhat related to you. Here's a hint: his surname is Lin, his name is Lin Xu, and he is a third-generation member of the Lin family."

After Chen Xuan's introduction, Su Yu instantly understood that these four were all "third-generation strongmen".

No wonder he is a general at such a young age; in addition to his cultivation, he also has the support of his family's influence.

Su Yu didn't give Lin Xu, his cousin, a second glance. He hadn't forgiven Lin Dong yet, and he was equally indifferent to the Lin family. He treated them like strangers whenever he saw them.

The others weren't surprised by Su Yu's attitude. If it were them, they might have made a huge scene. It was already quite good that Su Yu was able to restrain himself; they couldn't expect him to be nice to them.

Faced with his cousin Su Yu, Lin Xu also chose to remain silent, as he didn't know how to deal with him.

Su Yu didn't say anything more, cupped his hands in greeting to the four of them, and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Su Yu walked out without looking back and soon left the four legion's encampment.
