57: A battleground of carnage, who's afraid of who!

Chen Xian stumbled upon hearing my words!

"Ahem, just call me Young Master from now on!"

"Yes, Young Master, so what should we do next..."

"To Juxian Tower!"

Chen Xian led the way with Zhou Duo'er and Da Huang, followed by two men: Zhao Hu, the strongest of the four Divine Strategy Army soldiers from last night, and Night Fiend, the strongest among the Demonic Cultivators!

The remaining eight were responsible for covert protection.

As for the people on the street seeing Chen Xian's entourage,

indescribably complex emotions welled up in their hearts.

"Tsk! He really is a wastrel after all. We had too high expectations of him last night!"

"After squandering his own family's wealth, is he going to squander General Chen Buyu's as well?"

"He's just been cleared of the charges, and already he's putting on airs again with such a grand display!"

"Alas, rotten wood cannot be carved!"

"Well, as long as this kid doesn't collude with Demonic Cultivators and manages to salvage the last shred of dignity for the Marquis of Jubei's household, that would be a contribution."

Everyone's expectations for Chen Xian had already hit rock bottom.

As long as this kid didn't do anything heinous, it was perfectly fine for him to be an incorrigible lump of mud.

Facing everyone's misunderstanding of him,

Chen Xian didn't mind at all!

This was exactly what he wanted!

pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger!

Otherwise, if he were elevated to a certain high position by everyone,

then even without the Demonic Cultivators, the imperial court would start paying attention to him!

In the main hall of Juxian Tower,

when Chen Xian appeared again, the expressions people looked at him with were completely different.

Some were mocking, some were amused, and others had complex expressions.

They vaguely remembered a few days ago, Chen Xian's arrogant demeanor here and his wild boasts!

He said his father had left him many connections!

Now, Chen Buyu had arrived, publicly backing him up!

This also made everyone both envious and jealous!

How could this guy's life be so blessed.

They had wanted to watch how this high-and-mighty scion of a noble family would fall into nothingness!

But now!

He had actually made a miraculous comeback from the brink!

As soon as Chen Xian stepped into the main hall of Juxian Tower,

he spotted a group of people and immediately strode over.

When Zi Yun saw Chen Xian walking towards her, she felt both anger and joy in her heart!

Angry because this man hadn't contacted her for several days. Did he have any idea how worried she had been about him!

Joyful because Chen Xian's name had finally been cleared!

It was like the clouds parting to reveal the moon!

"Fairy Zi Yun, I have something to discuss with you. Could we step aside?"

Hearing this, Zi Yun glanced at her Revered Master.

Although Zhang Qingxue detested wastrels like Chen Xian, in such a public setting, it was inappropriate to openly clash with him.

She simply gave a slight nod.

Only then did Zi Yun leave the main hall with Chen Xian.

"What did you come to find me for today?"

Chen Xian looked at Zi Yun teasingly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are the type to forget someone after getting what you want!"

Zi Yun's face flushed red.

She nudged Chen Xian with her elbow.

"Stop talking nonsense! The hehuan pill is due to take effect in one day. Do you have a solution or not?"

Chen Xian said with a smile, "Didn't I just come to bring you the solution?"

He took out a sandalwood box!

"This contains spirit ginseng grass, which can neutralize the poison of the hehuan pill!"

"Are you sure this will work?"

"I don't know either! But I found this antidote in ancient texts! The reason I came to find you is precisely because I wanted to wait for tomorrow to arrive together!"

"If it works, then we are both free. If it doesn't, the only way to neutralize the Hehuan poison is through Yin and Yang union!"

Zi Yun narrowed her eyes.

"Alright, so shall we wait at Juxian Tower?"

Chen Xian stared dumbfounded and said, "Wow, sister, could you be any more outrageous!"

"Although Juxian Tower is safe, it's under the public eye. Do you really want our relationship exposed?"

"Ahem, I don't mind, but I'm saying this for your own good!"

After saying this, Chen Xian suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

Not cool, man, this sounds a bit like a scumbag's line!

Zi Yun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Then tell me where to meet. I'll go there tonight!"

"Marquis Jubei's Residence!"

As soon as Chen Xian finished speaking, he suddenly felt a gaze fall upon him.

Instantly, a shiver ran down his spine.

He looked up.

He saw a man and a woman not far away, looking at him.

The woman's gaze carried a palpable, murderous intent directed at Chen Xian.

This also made Chen Xian subconsciously feel a pang of guilt.

Because the woman standing not far from him was none other than Liu Ruyan!

Liu Ruyan stormed over angrily.

This bastard Chen Xian.

She had been so worried about him for so long.

She went to the Marquis Jubei's Residence to find him today, but he wasn't there.

And here this guy was, at the entrance of Juxian Tower, in full public view, being all lovey-dovey with Zi Yun!

This made Liu Ruyan feel like she was seeing green!

"Chen Xian! What are you doing here?"

"What exactly is your relationship with this woman?"

Chen Xian felt somewhat guilty under the questioning.

Zi Yun, however, seeing Liu Ruyan's flustered and angry appearance,

initially wanted to smooth things over, but Liu Ruyan's barrage of questions

made Zi Yun feel displeased as well.

She hooked her arm through Chen Xian's.

Sneering, she said, "I don't know what Commander Liu is talking about. He is my husband. What's wrong with us talking here?"

These words made Liu Ruyan's face turn even more unpleasant.

She clenched her fists tightly.

"Zi Yun, stop spouting nonsense here! Chen Xian is not your husband at all!"

"Do you want me to publicly debunk this rumor right here?"

Hearing this, Zi Yun's expression also became uncomfortable.

But she still sneered and said, "And you, by what identity would you debunk it for him?"

"Fiancée? That doesn't seem right, isn't your engagement already broken off?"

"Besides..."

Zi Yun looked at the man behind Liu Ruyan.

"Isn't this your dear little brother?"

"If I remember correctly, his name is Han Kun, right?"

With just a few words from Zi Yun,

Liu Ruyan felt even more furious, along with a trace of wariness.

If before she thought Zi Yun was just trying to oppose her out of boredom!

Now, she believed Zi Yun probably truly cared about Chen Xian. Otherwise, why would she have researched her so thoroughly!

Even Chen Xian was a bit stunned.

Damn, he hadn't expected Zi Yun to know his former Fiancée so well?

Could she be into women?

Seeing Liu Ruyan's gloomy expression!

Zi Yun felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Hehe, I've spent the last few days learning all about the rumors in Jubei City.

Liu Ruyan wants to have her cake and eat it too.

Not a chance!

Liu Ruyan said icily, "Han Kun and I are just like siblings, our relationship is perfectly proper!"

As she said this, her gaze was fixed on Chen Xian.

As if explaining herself to Chen Xian.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a childhood sweetheart little brother, huh?"

"Hard not to let the imagination run wild!"

"Hmph, Zi Yun, do you want to fight?"

A fierce aura erupted from Liu Ruyan!

"Who's afraid of who!"

Zi Yun wanted to charge forward, but Chen Xian immediately grabbed her and pulled her aside!
