Before he could finish his words, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared, reached out from behind Dongfang Xin and covered his mouth with his hand.
“Mmm…Mmm…”
Chen Yan's heart was filled with alarm. Just as she was about to summon her sword, she heard the smiling middle-aged man say, "A direct disciple of the Qiankun Sect? You are Elder Qi's disciple, right? I am the current head of the Dongfang family."
The head of the Dongfang family?
In other words, he is Dongfang Xin's father.
At this time, Dongfang Xin finally struggled free and took a breath. He subconsciously wanted to escape, but the head of the Dongfang family grabbed his collar.
"Dad, let me go!"
Chen Yan took a step back, raised his hand and bowed, performing a junior's greeting: "I am the direct disciple of the Qiankun Sect, Chen Yan, and I am honored to meet the head of the Dongfang family."
The Dongfang family head looked at Chen Yan calmly, then smiled gently and said, "Xin'er has caused you trouble."
"No." Chen Yan replied calmly.
The head of the Dongfang family smiled slightly and took Dongfang Xin back.
After this little episode, Chen Yan was no longer in the mood to wander around, so he returned to Courtyard No. 9 early.
She sometimes thought of what Dongfang Xin said.
What secrets does the Sky Tree hide?
For some reason, it made her concerned.
Chen Yan raised her hand and knocked on the door gently. Soon, the door opened and Jing Zifu appeared before her.
"Junior Sister Shen."
"Senior Sister Jing." Chen Yan responded politely.
The two nodded to each other, and then Chen Yan walked into the room.
The room was simply furnished, with a bed on each side, separated by a screen in the middle. Jing Zifu had already chosen the bed on the left, while Chen Yan went to the bed on the right.
The whole room was very quiet, as if the only sounds were the breathing of the two of them.
Jing Zifu and Shen Yan each sat on their own bed, closing their eyes and meditating. Their expressions were focused, their breathing steady, as if they were cut off from the outside world.
…
On the third day after Shen Yan and others arrived at Sky Island, a piece of news came.
Chen Ke led the Tianzhou forces to Sky Island.
The news spread quickly throughout the island.
All the major forces sent spies to investigate. After some investigation, they learned that the Tianzhou forces had come in large numbers, nearly a thousand people, and their overall strength was quite formidable.
The most eye-catching figure was Chen Ke herself. She was dressed in the gorgeous palace attire of the Tianzhou Dynasty, and her face was covered by a mysterious mask, giving her a noble and majestic appearance. She slowly arrived atop a magnificent sedan chair, a scene of astonishing grandeur.
This kind of scene made many people afraid of her and they didn't dare to provoke her easily.
Of course, the process of Tianzhou forces entering Sky Island was not smooth.
Because dozens of assassins hiding in the dark appeared and tried to assassinate Chen Ke.
At this critical moment, the eight members of the "Shura Squad" appeared in time. Each of them wore a half silver mask, exuding a cold aura. The eight of them resisted all the assassins and eliminated them all.
For a time, the Tianzhou forces became the biggest focus.
At the same time, the Tianzhou forces have headed to the Island Lord's Mansion.
The island master's mansion was heavily guarded. When the Tianzhou forces arrived, a guard captain stepped forward and said sternly, "The island master has ordered that only two representatives from each faction be allowed to enter."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Ke, who was sitting on the sedan chair, lifted the gauze curtain.
At this time, one of the old men walked quickly to the side of the sedan chair, raised his arm respectfully, let Chen Ke's jade hand gently rest on his arm, and then carefully helped her get off the sedan chair.
Everyone around stared intently at the rumored beauty Chen Ke. Although they couldn't see her face clearly, they could feel her elegant temperament and graceful demeanor.
Is this the last princess of the Tianzhou Dynasty? And also the sister of Emperor Ling Chenchu?
Chen Ke and the old man walked into the island owner's mansion slowly.
As for what happened in the island owner's mansion, no one knew.
…
The Tianzhou forces successfully moved into Sky Island.
This made many forces feel threatened and pressured.
The Changming Realm power ranking competition will begin in two days. With the participation of Tianzhou forces, the outcome is impossible to predict.
Courtyard No. 9.
Inside the room, Chen Yan received a message from Uncle Zeng. She probed her spiritual consciousness into it and listened to the contents.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
She returned the summons.
At this moment, the screen was knocked.
Chen Yan looked up and what caught her eye was Jing Zifu's cold face. Her eyes seemed evasive and unnatural.
"Senior Sister Jing, is there something wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zifu pursed her lips and finally asked, "These past few days, I heard that you seem to be familiar with Sui Changyun from Chengyun Palace..."
Chen Yan looked at her without changing his expression.
When Jing Zifu met Chen Yan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, she felt a little confused and asked, "I want to know, what is your relationship with him?"
Chen Yan said: "We are friends."
Hearing this, Jing Zifu's expression was very calm, and it was impossible to tell her emotional change. She said "OK" and was about to turn around and return to her area when Chen Yan called out to Jing Zifu.
"Senior Sister Jing, do you know Chang Yun?"
Jing Zifu paused slightly, wanting to nod, but finally shook her head.
"I don't know him."
Chen Yan asked again: "Senior Sister Jing, do you dislike Senior Brother Yi Linghuan?"
Jing Zifu's eyes were dim and her tone was cold.
"No."
