Chen Yan and Jiang Xianyue looked at each other, and the same thought emerged in their minds at the same time: Qiu Tianzong still has to save face.
Jiang Xianyue lowered her voice and said to Chen Yan, "Although Qiu Tianzong has made such a high-sounding statement on the surface, it will continue to track down the real culprit behind the scenes. Remember to be careful."
Chen Yan naturally understood.
Jiang Xianyue smiled and said, "I may have to go back to Xuanwu Country early. If I have time, I will come to Nanxiao Country to meet you again."
"Okay." Chen Yan did not refuse.
…
After Qiu Tianzong released this news, the competition was definitely unable to continue, so the major forces of the nine countries and all the contestants could only return home with regret.
Five or six hundred people died in this game.
There are young men who are unknown to the public, and there are also geniuses who are quite famous in the nine countries.
The contestants were gathered at the outskirts of Lingyan Forest and waited for about half an hour before Qiu Tianzong finally let them go. As for the seriously injured prodigies, they had already been taken away.
Chen Yan said to Jiang Xianyue, "Let's go."
When Jiang Xianyue heard this, she replied with a smile on her face: "We will definitely meet again."
Chen Yan glanced at her indifferently, nodded, and then walked alone towards the outside of Lingyan Forest. Now the crowd outside was chaotic and noisy, and they seemed to be concerned about and discussing the matter of this game.
Hongri and Yinyue, who were in the crowd, were sharp-eyed and spotted her figure at a glance. They hurried forward to pick up Chenyan.
Yin Yue asked with a serious expression, "Miss, are you hurt?"
Chen Yan: "Minor injury."
"Since the competition is over, let's leave this place of trouble." Yin Yue said worriedly. She glanced around with fear, afraid that someone would do something bad to the young lady.
"Um."
Chen Yan responded, and just as she was about to get on the carriage with Hong Ri and Yin Yue to return to the mansion, a gentle voice came from behind her.
"Sister Yan'er, are you really not going back to the Shen family with us?"
Chen Yan turned around and looked.
What caught his eyes was Shen Xue's slightly pale face. Her eyes were sad, and she looked at him with a sincere look.
Chen Yan said coldly: "The Shen family has nothing to do with me anymore."
Shen Xue looked weak, but she was still trying to persuade him earnestly.
"Sister Yan'er, how can you say that? Stop throwing a tantrum like a child, okay?"
Chen Yan said word by word: "Don't act so hypocritical in front of me. Seeing you like this makes me want to vomit."
These words made Shen Xue's face change slightly.
Just as her eyes became fierce, she suddenly caught sight of the head of the Shen family and others walking towards her not far away, and she quickly restrained her expression.
Shen Xue frowned, "Sister Yan'er, the Shen family has treated you so well, and you insist on leaving them. How can you be worthy of Grandfather and the elders?"
Chen Yan ignored her words and turned around to leave.
"Chen Yan!"
Suddenly, the head of the Shen family shouted, trying to call her back.
However, Chen Yan didn't even look at him and continued walking forward with Hong Ri and Yin Yue.
Chen Yan's attitude made the old face of the Shen family head suddenly darken.
The head of the Shen family's voice was gloomy, revealing a bit of displeasure: "Chen Yan, do you really want to sever ties with the Shen family?"
Chen Yan paused slightly, turned her head and looked at the head of the Shen family, as well as the elders and disciples of the Shen family. She said with a cold expression, "Yes."
Without the slightest hesitation.
The head of the Shen family thought she would beg to return to the Shen family, but he didn't expect to hear a completely opposite answer. His cloudy old eyes were deep and he sneered: "Then don't regret it!"
"Absolutely not."
Chen Yan left a sentence.
Then she got into the carriage nimbly.
Hongri and Yinyue followed closely, and Hongri immediately asked the coachman to drive the carriage away.
The head of the Shen family stared at the direction where the carriage was leaving with a cold expression. Somehow, a sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart.
The eldest elder of the Shen family laughed and said, "Master, it is definitely a good thing that she has taken the initiative to break with our Shen family! Even if Tianhao wants to get angry, he can't find a suitable reason. After all, it's not us who expelled Chen Yan."
The third elder of the Shen family looked sarcastic and sneered: "A waste like Chen Yan, without the protection of our Shen family, will sooner or later come back crying and beg for our forgiveness."
"Chen Yan is the young master's flesh and blood after all..."
A younger elder tried to speak for Chen Yan, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by the chief elder of the Shen family.
"So what if she's just blood? Hasn't she brought enough shame to our Shen family? We've done our best to treat her well."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Shen family's eyes flickered.
Shen Xue lowered her eyes and said, "Grandfather, elders, this is all Xue'er's fault. If it weren't for Xue'er's existence, I wouldn't have upset Sister Yan'er and severed ties with the Shen family..."
The Great Elder looked at Shen Xue kindly and said soothingly, "Xue'er, you're seriously injured, so don't bother with that loser anymore. Since you can't enter the Qiu Tian Sect, then you should prepare to enter the Western Region Academy and bring honor to our Shen family."
Shen Xue lowered her eyes and nodded obediently.
"Xue'er will do her best and will not let down the expectations of her grandfather and the elders."
…
house.
It was already evening when Chen Yan returned to the house and she was hungry because she had consumed so much energy.
Fortunately, Hongri and Yinyue are here, and they both cook very well.
While the two of them were cooking, Chen Yan returned to her main house first. She carefully took out a blood-colored bead.
Chen Yan took a few closer looks.
The bead was red all over and emitted a faint halo. It felt extremely cold to the touch.
It's like holding an ice cube.
At this moment, Feng Xingyao's voice came from her sea of consciousness.
"When do you want to remove the poison that seals the Master's Spiritual Bone?"
Chen Yan said without hesitation: "Tonight."
Feng Xingyao: "Yeah."
The two of them didn't speak anymore.
Chen Yan put away the Blood-sucking Pearl, then asked Feng Xingyao and Jiu Zhuan to close their eyes, and she wanted to check her own wounds.
The location of some wounds is more private.
Feng Xingyao said "hmm" in a light tone.
Jiu Zhuan said, "Okay, Master."
Chen Yan took off his outer robe and saw that almost every part of his body was wrapped in bandages, and some parts were already bleeding.
She found that she had been injured since she came to Guiyuan Continent.
She wasn't afraid of getting hurt, or even pain, but she felt this predicament needed to be resolved. She desperately wanted to embark on a path of cultivation so she wouldn't be left at the mercy of others.
…
About half an hour later.
Hongri and Yinyue prepared the meal.
In the evening, Chen Yan sat down to eat with the two of them.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be hesitant to speak, Chen Yan said, "Just ask if you have anything to say."
"Miss, Hongri heard that Nangong Yu died in Lingyan Forest. Do you know?"
Chen Yan nodded: "Yeah."
She killed him.
