"He is, after all, the champion of the selection tournant, a genius favored by my adoptive father. If we keep him out, it won’t be easy to explain to my adoptive father."
Nangong Yao thought for a mont and decided to let Ye Xuan co in, planning to deal with it casually when the ti ca.
"Then you’d better let handle him without saying anything." Princess Yu Yue said hurriedly.
This guy, still harboring wicked intentions, is truly annoying.
Outside the hall.
"Mr. Ye, Her Highness the Princess invites you in."
A maid announced to Ye Xuan.
"Much appreciated."
Ye Xuan cupped his fist, then stepped into the grand hall.
The interior of the palace was exceptionally lavish, with pink walls. On both sides of the palace were bouquets of fresh flowers, exuding a captivating fragrance.
After walking several steps, Ye Xuan saw the two people on the steps.
When his gaze t Nangong Yao’s, he clearly sensed the other’s body tremble slightly.
Witnessing this, Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly.
"Hey, why are you here again? I’ve told you, you don’t have a chance anymore. No matter how much you fawn, Nangong won’t marry you."
Princess Yu Yue crossed her arms and looked down at Ye Xuan.
"I’m just here to see an old acquaintance."
Ye Xuan replied with a gentle smile.
"Old acquaintance, who is your old acquaintance? It’s certainly not ."
Yu Yue snorted disdainfully. To her, Ye Xuan was shaless, trying to cozy up to her.
"Yu Yue, could you step aside for a bit? I have words with him."
Yu Yue had just finished sneering when she heard Nangong Yao’s voice from behind.
"What? What do you have to talk about with this guy?"
Yu Yue looked at Ye Xuan with disbelief. What is there to discuss with this kind of guy? Could Nangong Yao have changed her mind so soon? This was their first eting, after all.
While Yu Yue was incredulous, Nangong Yao pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, "He’s the person I’m looking for."
"What?"
Yu Yue beca even more shocked. "Are you Ye Xuan?"
"As real as can be."
Ye Xuan spread his hands out. Along the way, he had been tricked by this Princess Yu Yue quite a lot; the other harbored animosity toward him. Fortunately, he was sowhat strong; ordinary people would have suffered greatly.
"No way."
Yu Yue still found it hard to believe such coincidental things could happen.
"Then I’ll leave now; you two have your talk."
Yu Yue hurriedly escaped from the palace, having been excessive toward Ye Xuan before. Now, of course, she felt too embarrassed to stay any longer.
"Yu Yue has a childish nature, don’t hold it against her."
"Don’t worry, I’m not that petty."
It was evident that Nangong Yao and Yu Yue were on good terms, so out of regard for their friendship, Ye Xuan chose not to hold a grudge.
"Brother Ye Xuan, why have you co to the Ancient World too?"
In front of Ye Xuan, Nangong Yao reverted to resembling the little girl she had once been, pulling at Ye Xuan’s sleeve with a voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.
"Ahem... Naturally, I ca looking for you. As soon as I heard you were here, I rushed over without thinking."
Ye Xuan coughed lightly, laughing softly.
"Is that so? If you genuinely ca for , then why go to the Divine Domain first instead of coming straight to Fengtian City to find ?"
Nangong Yao looked at Ye Xuan with an expression of teasing amusent.
"Well, I only learned you were here after arriving in the Ancient World. As soon as I got your news, I ca imdiately."
Ye Xuan forced a smile.
"Alright, let’s just say that’s the case."
Nangong Yao stopped probing further. She knew Ye Xuan was lying; this guy would typically not spin tales with others, but before her, he still often employed tricks to deceive. Who would believe such words?
But, there was no way around it; she loved hearing them.
"Did you co here by yourself?"
After settling Ye Xuan, Nangong Yao continued to ask.
"I ca with Senior Sister Ling; she should also be sowhere in the Ancient World now, though I haven’t received any news from her yet."
Ye Xuan didn’t hide anything, thinking that with Fengtian City’s resources, searching for soone might be more convenient.
"Sister Ling ca too?"
A look of realization appeared on Nangong Yao’s oval face. She didn’t have much jealousy toward Ling Qianxue, who had stayed in Snow Soul Palace with her before. Nangong Yao knew who Ling Qianxue was very well; although Ling did not know Ye Xuan as long as she did, her relationship with Ye Xuan might surpass hers.
Though no woman wishes to share the person she loves with another, sotis one has no choice. Ling Qianxue had sacrificed far more for Ye Xuan than she had.
"I’ll have people inquire about her. You have offended the Empress and the Divine Palace; it’s better not to go out for now, avoid the wind here where no one can touch you."
Nangong Yao pondered for a mont then spoke.
"Hmm."
Ye Xuan couldn’t think of a better place to go; staying in Fengtian City seed the best option without a next step planned.
"By the way, regarding the marriage, let’s discuss it in a while."
Ye Xuan rembered sothing and suddenly ntioned.
"Well, it’s up to you."
Upon hearing the word ’marriage,’ Nangong Yao’s face turned red, revealing a trace of shyness.
After speaking, she too fled the hall.
Back at his residence, after continuing to comprehend insights from the recent period, Ye Xuan began studying a new Martial Arts skill.
This Martial Arts skill was sowhat similar to Young Master Wan Xu’s Great Emperor Defense Skill; it’s a status-enhancing technique called the Unbeatable Dragon God Technique.
The cultivation thod of the Unbeatable Dragon God Technique was very unique, consisting of five phases. Learning the first stage marked minor achievent; mastering the third stage entered the hall; mastering all five stages completed the skill.
The first three phases were Hidden Dragon Erging from the Abyss, Clearing the Clouds, Soaring in the Nine Heavens.
Hidden Dragon Erging from the Abyss emphasizes the term ’hidden,’ hands together, eyes seemingly open yet not open, seemingly closed yet not closed. The mind is clear, unaffected by external disturbances.
This phase might seem easy, yet it was exceedingly complex.
It’s not about appearance; the crucial aspect is the essence. Without essence, even the finest appearance is rely an empty shell, without any value.
In the garden, Ye Xuan maintained this posture without moving.
A day passed, then another.
On the third morning, the sun rose for the third ti.
The first two days, Ye Xuan felt nothing about morning sunshine, but this day, his soul glowed brightly. It seed that sunlight not only illuminated the courtyard but also shone through his soul, bringing about a new realization and clarity of thought.
In the next mont, a warm golden light emanated from him, releasing a subtle aura akin to transforming the mundane into the extraordinary.
Inside his body, every cell moved, emitting a warm strength, unleashing potential hidden deep within.
Potential was endless, akin to a reservoir providing continuous energy. Developing potential does not an exhausting it entirely; this is impossible, and even if it weren’t, no one dared to try. The Hidden Dragon Skill fully utilizes potential, increasing the reservoir’s output from one to two, even three.
The mind’s ancient well was undisturbed as Ye Xuan imrsed himself in a mysterious state, likened to a slumbering dragon.
Ti flew by; another two days passed.
The second phase, Clearing the Clouds, was completed.
