Even though Leng Hanjiang was a Duke, he had heard of the name Fan Wujin.
This person can be said to be an extremely outstanding one among the younger generation, especially his warlike character, which has left a deep impression on many powerful people in the seven countries.
It can be said that he is a ruthless character born for fighting and killing. With time, his achievements may not be inferior to those monstrous geniuses in the main line of the Fan clan.
Even though he has only reached the minor perfection of the Spirit Gathering Divine Realm, his actual combat power is no weaker than some great cultivators in the early stage of the Divine Warrior Realm.
If, as Ye Chen said, they were ambushed by Fan Wujin along the way, how could so many people still survive?
With Fan Wujin's bloodthirsty personality, he should have killed them all.
Thinking of this, Leng Hanjiang quickly asked, "Where is Fan Wujin now?"
"I have killed him."
Ye Chen answered casually, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
“Kill…kill?”
Leng Hanjiang paused, and his eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, shot towards Ye Chen.
Seeing that the other party had a calm expression and showed no sign of lying at all.
Ye Chen smiled faintly and took out the imperial edict from his Qiankun bag, handed it to Leng Hanjiang and said:
"The Duke should recognize this magic weapon, right?"
"The Burning Edict!?"
Seeing this treasure, Leng Hanjiang's expression finally changed.
Of course he knew that this magic weapon belonged to the seventh branch leader of the Fan clan, and was later passed down to Fan Wujin.
The latter is able to possess strength comparable to that of an early stage Divine Warrior, and this magic weapon is the most crucial factor!
But now this magic weapon has fallen into Ye Chen's hands?
There was only one possibility, that was as Ye Chen said, Fan Wujin was killed by him...
"Duke, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a beauty." Ye Chen joked.
Among the younger generation, no one dared to joke with him like this, but Leng Hanjiang didn't mind. A smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Ye Chen, you are very good. It is worth it for me to highly recommend you to the Empress!"
Although he knew that the other party was asking for credit and showing goodwill, Ye Chen still said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Duke. I am very grateful."
He knew that Leng Hanjiang had come all the way here to pick him up, and that he must have other things to do, so he immediately asked, "Has the Duke not asked me if he has any instructions for me?"
Leng Hanjiang nodded slightly, looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the carriage and talk."
At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from not far away: "Uncle."
Leng Hanjiang and Ye Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and pretty young woman running over. It was Leng Lianlian.
When Leng Hanjiang, the Duke of the Protectorate, saw this, a doting smile appeared on his handsome face. He said, "You're already a grown-up girl, yet you're still so cheerful. I wonder which young master will be interested in you in the future."
"Uncle~~~"
Leng Lianlian coquettishly pulled Leng Hanjiang's left arm and whispered softly, "I don't want to marry those mediocre people. I, Leng Lianlian, want to marry a real hero!"
While speaking, she did not forget to steal a glance at Ye Chen with her big eyes full of amorous glances.
The little thoughts of the girl naturally could not escape the eyes of the Protector of the Country Leng Hanjiang. He laughed and said, "Then you have to work hard. You should know that the more outstanding a man is, the more beautiful women are around him. Only a woman with both talent and beauty can catch his eye."
"I know, I will definitely work hard~~"
Leng Lianlian replied with a grin, then glanced at Ye Chen and said to the Protector of the Country, "Uncle, you don't know that on our way back, we ran into Fan Wujin, the prodigy of the Fan Clan from the Blazing Sun Divine Country. If it weren't for this Young Master Ye's intervention, you might never have seen Lianlian again."
Leng Hanjiang patted the back of her hand, then looked at Ye Chen again and said, "Ye Chen, I, Leng Hanjiang, will remember this favor."
"You are too polite, Duke." Ye Chen said hurriedly.
"Then let's go to the carriage and talk." Leng Hanjiang said as he stepped into the carriage, and Leng Lianlian actually followed him in.
Before getting in the car, he did not forget to greet Ye Chen and said: "Mr. Ye, please get in the car too. My uncle is waiting for you."
Ye Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. This woman was so annoying. She forced her way in by using the title of Duke.
Don’t you know that he wants to discuss serious matters with the Duke?
In this respect, there is a world of difference between her and that girl Chen Bing.
Although Chen Bing likes to act like a spoiled brat, she never interferes or causes trouble when things are serious.
But this Leng Lianlian does not know the seriousness of the matter, and the tea she drinks makes people feel disgusted.
All I can say is that there are differences among green teas.
Looking back at Chen Bing, who had an angry face but didn't say anything, and Jiang Ningshuang and Chen Xue who were accompanying her, Ye Chen smiled and nodded slightly, then got into the car.
"Damn stinky woman, there's no place for us to sit."
After Ye Chen got in the car, Leng Lianlian closed the door. Before closing the door, she did not forget to give the three women a demonstrative look. Chen Bing said angrily, "You vixen, you seduced my brother Ye Chen!"
Chen Xue held her sister's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Brother Ye Chen won't like her."
…
In the carriage, Ye Chen and Leng Hanjiang sat opposite each other. After Leng Lianlian closed the door, she sat next to Ye Chen very naturally, her body barely touching Ye Chen.
He also took out a spiritual fruit from his ring and said attentively, "Young Master Ye, this is the 'Ice Fruit' that our Leng Clan produces in abundance. It is not only very beneficial for cultivation, but also has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the spirit. Try it..."
As he spoke, he peeled the spiritual fruit and handed it to Ye Chen's mouth, as if he wanted to feed it directly into Ye Chen's mouth.
Ye Chen frowned slightly, distanced himself from her calmly, and directly declined her kindness.
Seeing this, Leng Hanjiang said, "Alright, Lianlian, stop making trouble. I want to discuss some serious matters with Ye Chen."
Leng Lianlian then snorted softly and restrained herself.
Immediately, Leng Hanjiang's face straightened, and he said seriously: "Ye Chen, the royal city is ahead. I came here for no other reason than to remind you..."
Ye Chen heard this and said, "Is it about the Four Heavenly Pillars Family?"
"Oh? You knew?"
Leng Hanjiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Leng Ran reminded you before, right? Oh, Leng Ran is the Marquis of Pingnan."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Marquis Pingnan told me this after the celebration party."
"In that case, you have chosen to come to the Royal City now, so you must have made sufficient mental preparations."
Leng Hanjiang smiled and continued, "But I still have to remind you that the pressure and resistance you will face next may be even greater than you imagine... Maybe Leng Ran won't tell you too much, so I'd better tell you the details of the Four Heavenly Pillars first."
