36: Honey, say something!

If he asked Chen Xian to provide evidence, wouldn't he also have to provide evidence that Chen Xian was a demonic Cultivator spy?

If he didn't demand evidence, was he just going to let this guy frame him?

For a moment, Zhao Zheng was caught in a dilemma.

Chen Xian yawned and said indifferently, "Young Master Zhao, why have you gone quiet? Weren't you quite the talker just now?"

"You..."

Right then.

A burst of loud laughter came from outside.

"Apologies, apologies, this old man is late!"

A burly man wearing a python robe strode inside.

The crowd turned to look at him, their eyes widening.

When Zhao Zheng saw him, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

"Father, you're finally here! You must seek justice for your son!"

Zhao Zheng's cry of 'Father' let everyone present know the man's identity.

Another big shot of Jubei City, one of the few kings of a different surname in the Da Gan Dynasty—Zhao Beishan!

He was also the lifelong rival of Invincible Chen. This identity made everyone eager to watch the drama unfold.

A squabble between two Juniors had drawn in the Elder.

From the looks of it, Chen Xian's side was at a disadvantage.

How would this situation be resolved?

Chen Xian sized up the newcomer.

He thought to himself that he hadn't expected the old man to show up right after he'd dealt with the son.

Although Zhao Beishan looked jovial, this kind of 'smiling tiger' was the most terrifying.

However, after Zhao Zheng lodged his complaint, Zhao Beishan didn't show any pity for his son.

Instead, he swung his hand and delivered a sharp slap.

The blow sent Zhao Zheng crashing to the ground.

"You worthless brat! All of Jubei City is currently discussing how to deal with the demonic Cultivators; how can you be allowed to act so presumptuously here?"

"Stand up and apologize to Chen Xian!"

*Hiss!*

Not only was Zhao Zheng on the ground stunned, but so was everyone else!

Everyone else was equally shocked!

Chen Buyu had already stepped in front of Chen Xian, but seeing this, his expression became unreadable.

The Cultivators from the Southern Continent had been planning to enjoy the show, as nothing was more interesting than seeing former rivals fight amongst themselves.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Beishan had chosen righteousness over family ties!

This was beyond everyone's expectations!

Though Zhao Zheng was indignant, Zhao Beishan's next words made his face pale.

"If you don't apologize, you're grounded for a year!"

He scrambled up from the ground decisively. Although it was humiliating, he didn't want to lose a year of freedom over this.

"Chen Xian, I'm sorry!"

Chen Xian didn't care about Zhao Zheng's apology. In fact, he didn't care about Zhao Zheng at all; if the boy hadn't repeatedly provoked him, he would have ignored him entirely.

Now that Zhao Zheng had apologized, Chen Xian shifted his gaze to Zhao Beishan.

He thought to himself that the man was indeed a worthy rival for his Cheap Old Father; his first move showed he was no ordinary person.

"Nephew, it was my failure to discipline my son. Today, my boy offers his apologies. Furthermore, I heard he even bought this mansion; what utter nonsense."

"From this day forth, this mansion is yours again. With me here, no one will dare to harbor ill intentions toward this place!"

With these few sentences, Zhao Beishan adopted an extremely humble posture.

This even made everyone start to doubt whether the rivalry between Invincible Chen and Zhao Beishan was actually real!

As for Chen Xian, he sized up Zhao Beishan.

This old fox was truly a clever character. With Chen Buyu backing him, the mansion would surely have returned to his hands anyway; Zhao Beishan was simply doing him a favor that cost nothing.

Chen Xian said with a smile, "Prince Wu is too kind. This Junior would be honored to accept!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Chen Buyu, Zhao Beishan walked onto the high platform.

"The reason this old man arrived late today was to accompany two individuals."

"Next, please welcome the Fourteenth Prince, Li Xun, and the Young Master of Tianqi Sect, Wang Li!"

As Zhao Beishan's voice fell.

Everyone saw two people walking into the back garden one after the other.

"Wow, just how much importance does the Da Gan Dynasty place on this demonic Cultivator matter? Even a prince has come!"

"The Fourteenth Prince, Li Xun, is the Emperor's most beloved son! And Tianqi Sect is one of the few powerful Sects within the Da Gan Dynasty; even their Young Master Wang Li has come!"

The two of them, one following the other.

Came to the center of the back garden.

Chen Buyu and the others bowed to pay their respects to the Fourteenth Prince.

"Your subjects pay their respects to the Fourteenth Prince!"

Li Xun quickly walked over to Chen Buyu and used both hands to help him up.

"General Chen, please rise! My purpose in coming here today is to follow General Chen's command and serve on the front lines!"

Li Xun's words stirred various thoughts in many people's hearts.

It seemed the situation in Jubei City was even more complex than they had imagined.

However, as Chen Xian looked at the Fourteenth Prince's figure.

He felt like he had seen him somewhere before!

But where?

Chen Buyu looked toward Wang Li.

The status of the Tianqi Sect within the Da Gan Dynasty was extraordinary.

In fact, the current teachers of the princes were all Elders of the Tianqi Sect!

He could not afford to be careless.

Thus, he asked Wang Li politely, "Young Master Wang, may I ask what brings you here?"

Wang Li said with a cold laugh, "I didn't come here today for the demonic Cultivators, but for my Fiancée!"

Fiancée?

Question marks popped up in everyone's minds.

The Young Master of Tianqi Sect has a Fiancée?

And she's here in this back garden?

Who could be so lucky?

As for Chen Xian, his right eyelid began to twitch wildly.

Holy crap, holy crap!

Could this guy be Li Yu's arranged marriage partner?

The arranged marriage partner from the family of the Tianqi Sect's Young Master.

Li Yu, you call this an ordinary family?

Just then, someone couldn't help but ask, "May I ask who Young Master Wang's Fiancée is?"

"The Seventh Princess of the Da Gan Dynasty, Li Yu!"

After Wang Li spoke, he looked toward a woman standing in the corner.

The crowd followed his gaze. They all had an impression of Li Yu.

Because although there were many women in this back garden, there weren't many who were truly devastatingly beautiful.

This Li Yu, by status, was the Seventh Princess of the Da Gan Dynasty.

By looks, she was a beauty among beauties!

She and Wang Li were practically a match made in heaven.

As for Chen Xian, his right eyelid continued to twitch wildly.

Holy crap!

If he had still harbored any lingering hope just now, that last bit of hope vanished into thin air along with the crowd's exclamations!

Right now, he really wanted to walk over, grab Li Yu's clothes, and interrogate her: You said yours was an ordinary family?

Is this a fucking ordinary family?

The most prominent family in the entire Dynasty, nothing less!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Li stepped forward.

"Li Yu, come back with me!"

Just when everyone thought this marriage was a done deal.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu ignored him and instead looked at Chen Xian, who was not far away.

She said in a sweet voice, "Husband, someone else is telling me to go home with him. How can you be so indifferent!"

"Husband, say something!"
