As the Holy Son of Taixuan Holy Land, Guan Shuo has always been arrogant. Although he is kind to everyone, there are only a few people who can really catch his eye.

And Feng Shao is one of them.

Feng Shao chose Taixuan Holy Land as the first stop for his visit, of course, it was not without purpose. Guan Shuo had no idea about Lin Xiaoran, and the reason why he sent out the invitation was more about his attitude. And now, Feng Shao came here first with his fiancée, which showed his attitude.

To return the favor, Guan Shuo naturally had to express his attitude. And the way Guan Shuo expressed his attitude was to hold a banquet in Qingxiao Palace.

In addition to indicating that all previous grudges between the two sides have been resolved, this banquet also marks the formal alliance between the two sides.

Guan Shuo was also a smart man and knew clearly what Feng Shao wanted, so he mentioned Chi Xuan, the Holy Son of Jiuyou Holy Land.

Chi Xuan is quite famous in Dongzhou. Among the three holy places in Dongzhou, the Holy Son of Jiuyou Holy Land is the most special one. Because the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of Jiuyin and Taixuan Holy Lands are both well-known, and the Holy Son of Jiuyou Holy Land is...

From Chi Xuan's perspective, being decisive in killing can be considered an advantage. But in the eyes of others, someone who kills a whole family for a small matter is a typical example of a bad character.

There was once a second-rate sect that unknowingly took in a cultivator who had a conflict with Chi Xuan. Chi Xuan forced the cultivator out and killed him in exchange for forgiving the entire sect. But then Chi Xuan did not let the sect go as promised, but instead massacred the entire sect.

Another time, a cultivator who didn't know Chi Xuan's background made an enemy of Chi Xuan and brought a sect to support him. When the head of the sect arrived, he first made a lot of harsh words, but when he saw Chi Xuan, he did not hesitate to cut off his relationship with the cultivator. However, Chi Xuan did not let the sect go, but led his men to massacre the entire sect.

There are countless examples of this.

Chi Xuan always smiles and looks kind on the surface, but he is actually cruel and merciless, taking human life lightly. If this person were the protagonist of a cool novel, many readers would probably feel happy after reading it. But if you are really in his shoes, you will only feel that this person is notorious for his evil deeds, and he will sooner or later be full of evil.

Although Guan Shuo and Chi Xuan are both holy sons, Guan Shuo has always looked down on people like Chi Xuan. Chi Xuan is too violent, moody, and has blood on his hands. Because of Chi Xuan, Jiuyou Holy Land has made countless enemies. Many people do not say it, but in their hearts they are both afraid and alienated from Jiuyou Holy Land. Chi Xuan seems to have not noticed it at all, and still goes his own way, killing an average of 10,000 people a year, frequently adding more and more innocent souls to his blood debt list.

Two years ago, after hearing that the little princess of Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Xiaoran, was extremely beautiful and talented, Chi Xuan sent someone to propose marriage. In his opinion, although Yunjian Pavilion was also a top-notch force, its foundation was shallow and it was far from being comparable to old-fashioned forces like Jiuyou Holy Land. For Yunjian Pavilion, being able to marry into Jiuyou Holy Land was a matter of merit from their ancestors, so how could Yunjian Pavilion refuse?

But what Chi Xuan didn't expect was that Yunjian Pavilion not only refused, but also refused without hesitation.

This made Chi Xuan feel extremely humiliated, so he announced to the public that he would not marry anyone other than Lin Xiaoran. If anyone dared to snatch Lin Xiaoran from him, he would exterminate their entire family.

No one would doubt his words because that's what he always does.

However, even so, there are still many forces that have ideas about Lin Xiaoran. Among these forces, some are not afraid of the Nine Nether Holy Land because of their own strength. They may not be the opponent of the Nine Nether Holy Land in a head-on confrontation, but they are enough to protect themselves. Moreover, unlike the Nine Nether Holy Land, they do not have many enemies, and they still have a few iron allies around them. These allies together are enough to fight against the Nine Nether Holy Land.

Some forces are far enough away from the Nine Nether Holy Land that it is difficult for the Nine Nether Holy Land to go over and wipe out the entire family. Although the Nine Nether Holy Land acts arrogantly, it also knows that some things need to be done slowly. If you wipe out the small forces around you, others may not say anything. But if you cross half of Dongzhou to wipe out the entire family, this is a bit serious.

Simply put, it was too arrogant to do so, so arrogant that the entire East Continent could not tolerate it. By that time, the number of enemies facing the Nine Nether Holy Land would probably be in the triple digits.

Guan Shuo was not afraid of Chi Xuan, and the two sides had clashed in public many times. Feng Shao, however, lacked the foundation, and although he had the support of Yunjian Pavilion, he might not be able to deal with someone as sinister and ruthless as Chi Xuan.

But in fact, Feng Shao was not afraid of Chi Xuan either. Because in his opinion, people like Chi Xuan were, to put it nicely, decisive and ruthless, and to put it bluntly, stupid.

You should know that the biggest difference between humans and beasts is that humans use their brains, while beasts only use their claws.

Feng Shao already has a plan to deal with Chi Xuan, but he still needs Guan Shuo's help to complete it. After listening to Feng Shao's plan, Guan Shuo immediately expressed his willingness to help Feng Shao complete it.

While Feng Shao and Guan Shuo were forming an alliance, Lin Fengtian was talking to Jia Chan.

"You mean, there's a young man who offered a recipe for a Soul-Fixing Pill in exchange for a chance to see me?"

Jia Chan nodded and said, "Pavilion Master, this Soul-Fixing Pill is said to have originated from Qiankun Palace and has been lost for thousands of years. Now that this young man has taken out the recipe, it shows that he must have some special opportunity."

Lin Fengtian did not answer directly, but said: "Xiaochan, you were busy refining pills a few days ago, so I didn't mention some things to you. But you should have heard about the completion of Langhuan Pavilion, right?"

Jia Chan was puzzled and asked, "I heard about it. But Pavilion Master, what we are talking about now is the matter of that young man..."

Lin Fengtian waved his hand and said, "The recipe for the Soul Solidifying Pill is indeed very precious, but it is not the case for us."

Jia Chan asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

"As for the answer, you will know it if you go to Langhuan Pavilion." Lin Fengtian said.

That afternoon, Jia Chan went to Langhuan Pavilion and stayed there for three full days.

Three days later, Jia Chan walked out of Langhuan Pavilion with a tired look, but his eyes were full of excitement.

She went straight to Lin Fengtian and asked anxiously, "Pavilion Master, where did those ancient books in Langhuan Pavilion come from? Most of those books have been lost for thousands of years. How come they suddenly appeared in Langhuan Pavilion?"

Lin Fengtian smiled and said, "I can't tell you where these ancient books came from. You just need to know that there are many ancient pill recipes you want to know. The recipe for the Soul Solidifying Pill is nothing."

Jia Chan nodded subconsciously: "Indeed. Compared with those ancient books, the recipe of the Soul-Fixing Pill is not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, I found the earliest version of the recipe of the Soul-Fixing Pill from them, which is even better than the one given by that young man."

At this point, Jia Chan paused and asked, "Then Pavilion Master, should I reject that young man now?"

Lin Fengtian shook his head: "No, let's meet him. I'm a little curious about what this young man's intention is in looking for me."

After waiting for several days in Bianyun City, Chen Ye finally got the news that the head of Yunjian Pavilion was willing to see him. Without hesitation, he packed up his things and followed Jia Chan to Yunjian Pavilion.

Walking in the Yunjian Pavilion surrounded by carved beams and painted buildings, Chen Ye was almost dazzled by the scene before his eyes. Growing up in a second-rate small family, how could he have ever seen such a scene? It was not until this moment that he realized that this was the foundation of Dongzhou's super-first-class power.

He was once again convinced that his decision was correct. If he could capture Lin Xiaoran, then the entire Yunjian Pavilion would be his!

Thinking of this, Chen Ye felt happy. Walking in Yunjian Pavilion no longer felt like a tour, but more like going home.

With Jia Chan's introduction, Chen Ye met Lin Fengtian in Yunjian Palace.

Lin Fengtian looked at Chen Ye standing in front of him and asked with interest: "My friend, are you going to exchange a recipe for the Soul-Fixing Pill for a chance to meet me?"

Chen Ye said in a deep voice: "Not bad!"

Lin Fengtian asked curiously, "You should know the value of the Soul Solidifying Pill recipe, right? Is it worth it to pay for such a precious thing just for the chance to see me?"

Chen Ye nodded and said, "Of course it's worth it!"

"Oh? Why?"

Chen Ye said: "Although I come from a remote village, I have long admired the reputation of the Pavilion Master of Yunjian Pavilion. It is a great honor to meet your true face today. In addition, I want to meet Pavilion Master Lin and ask for another favor. Please grant me permission."

Lin Fengtian said calmly: "Tell me about it."

Chen Ye said: "I found some opportunities a few days ago and got an ancient medical book. I would like to present this medical book to Yunjian Pavilion!"

Lin Fengtian smiled and said, "An ancient medical book is a rare opportunity. You don't keep it for yourself, but give it to our Yunjian Pavilion. I'm afraid you are asking for too much. My friend, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly."

Chen Ye said, "I have two requests. The first is to join Yunjian Pavilion. The second is that I hope Pavilion Master Lin can show mercy and cancel Miss Lin's engagement!"

Lin Fengtian was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize what Chen Ye was talking about.

Lin Fengtian was puzzled and couldn't help asking: "I can understand your first request. But I don't understand your second request."

Chen Ye said with emotion: "I have met Miss Lin once before and have a good relationship with her. Miss Lin is innocent, cute, smart and clever, which impressed me greatly. Could Pavilion Master Lin have the heart to force his own daughter to marry someone she doesn't love?"

Lin Fengtian was stunned.

Before the meeting, he had guessed what Chen Ye's intentions were, but he never expected that this guy actually wanted to interfere in his daughter's marriage!

And the words used were quite strange. What did it mean to be forced? What did it mean to not love? If Lin Xiaoran hadn't insisted on marrying Feng Shao, Lin Fengtian wouldn't have signed the marriage contract so easily!

You call this not love?

But then, Lin Fengtian realized another possibility, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Ye suddenly became strange.

Chen Ye felt uncomfortable being looked at by Lin Fengtian, but he still tried to remain calm and said calmly: "Master Lin, is there anything I said wrong?"

Lin Fengtian said thoughtfully: "It's hard for you to care so much about my daughter's lifelong affairs, but how do you know that my daughter is not marrying the person she loves?"

Chen Ye said as a matter of course: "Although I have only known Miss Lin for a short time, I get along well with her. I can guess a little bit of what Miss Lin is thinking."

Lin Fengtian said with a smile: "Are you trying to say that my daughter likes you?"

Chen Ye really thought so in his heart, but if he said it directly, it would seem too self-indulgent. When he was thinking about how to answer, he heard Lin Fengtian said lightly: "I have seen many people who love my daughter. But it is the first time I have seen someone as confident as you. Well, let's stop here! My friend, I advise you not to meddle in other people's family affairs."

After saying that, Lin Fengtian stood up and left, while Chen Ye stood there with a bewildered look on his face.
