60: Chapter 60 Forced Buying and Selling

"That works too. Stretching my limbs a bit sounds nice." After reading the life destiny above, Ye Xuan couldn't help but prepare himself, intending to strike at any moment.

"You two brats, you refuse to drink the toast, so you'll have to drink the forfeit!"

Hearing this, the white-robed elder, Chu Nan, was furious. He immediately prepared to circulate his Childish Skill to slaughter the Ye Xuan and Yun Zhe before him.

"Arrogance requires capital. Junior Brother Yun, let me handle this old man; you don't need to make a move." Ye Xuan smiled as he placed a hand on Yun Zhe, holding him back.

"Playing with you for a bit is fine."

Ye Xuan met the attack head-on, easily blocking the white-robed elder Chu Nan's strike, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Is that all the skill you have? Then, you should take a move from me."

After speaking, Ye Xuan circulated the lightning Mystic Power within his body. Azure light gathered on his palm, and he then struck out with it.

"Bang—"

The overwhelming lightning power completely cleared away all the filth in the surroundings. The intense Yang energy caused the white-robed elder Chu Nan's expression to change drastically, and he repeatedly circulated the Mystic Power within his body to resist.

"Puff—"

The white-robed elder Chu Nan was sent flying, spitting out a mist of blood. His aged face was filled with terror, and the arms he had used to resist had been shattered by Ye Xuan's destructive blow. He shrieked loudly, "Ah, my… hands… where are they…"

"It's actually Sword Intent. Your Highness, that young man is worth recruiting." Old Bai's expression shifted slightly. "To be able to manifest Sword Intent onto his hands so casually, he is truly a prodigy."

"I really didn't misjudge him. That Pretty Boy's comprehension is miraculous; to be able to unleash Sword Intent at such an age." There was a hint of amazement in Jasmine's voice.

Compared to Yun Zhe, whom she had personally taught, how could Ye Xuan achieve this?

Could it be a prominent family background?

But she remembered Zhe'er saying that Ye Xuan, like him, came from the secular Great Qin Dynasty.

"Cultivation is inherently about swimming against the current, seizing a sliver of opportunity from the heavens to achieve self-perfection. Zhe'er, if you can defeat Ye Xuan head-on, your invincible heart for the future will quickly take shape."

Inside the spirit ring space, Jasmine spoke to Yun Zhe with a serious expression: "You should be grateful to have such a formidable enemy before you. Otherwise, how would you swim against the current? The current is not a dead end, but an opportunity to become stronger."

Hearing Jasmine say this, Yun Zhe suddenly felt his blood boil, though he didn't quite agree with her words: "So Senior Brother Ye is this powerful. Could it be that he has been biding his time all along, just for the final inner sect test at sixteen?"

"Senior Brother Ye is not my opponent; he is my best friend. If it weren't for him back then, would I be who I am today?"

"Affectionate and righteous, yet possessing such an heaven-defying physique, and without a shred of ambition. Yun Zhe, when will you ever grow up?" Jasmine shook her little head and stopped swinging, lying down on the lawn that had manifested in the space. Suddenly, the image of her brother, Sirius Mo Su, slowly overlapped with the high-spirited Ye Xuan outside.

Great Zhou's Crown Prince, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, stepped out, looking coldly at the heavily injured white-robed elder Chu Nan on the ground. "You have violated the laws of my Great Zhou. Throw this person into the dungeon!"

After speaking, three Heaven Profound Realm experts appeared behind Crown Prince Zhou Yuan and directly seized the severely injured perpetrator, Chu Nan.

"I see that you two fellow Daoists have an extraordinary aura. Dressed in the attire of the Cangqiong Holy Land, you must be the elites of the Holy Land. I wonder if you would do me the honor of joining me at Xuanbao Pavilion for a gathering?"

The youth in green, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, bowed and saluted Ye Xuan and Yun Zhe.

"Beautiful brother, my brother is named Crown Prince Zhou Yuan! Hehehe, as for me, I'm called Nan Xu!"

The petite and exquisite Nan Xu stuck out her tongue playfully. She stared at Ye Xuan at close range without a hint of shyness, her beautiful eyes filled with little stars. "Wow, brother, you are so beautiful. You aren't a woman disguised as a man, are you?"

"I'm very sorry, little sister Nan Xu, but I am not." Ye Xuan smiled brightly.

"Um… I really like that defensive inner armor of yours. Could you sell it to Nan Xu?" The cute Nan Xu asked with a pitiful expression.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled and lowered his head, leaning close to the petite Nan Xu. He tapped her little head lightly and said with a playful smile, "That's not possible. It's not for sale; only my bride can buy it!"

"Ooh—"

Red steam instantly rushed to Nan Xu's pretty face. Who knows how much damage Ye Xuan's stunningly beautiful face had caused her.

"Ahem, ahem… Nan Xu!"

Although Crown Prince Zhou Yuan could tell that there was not a shred of malice in Ye Xuan's eyes, only the care of an older brother for a younger sister, he still felt a bit jealous.

"Uh… Brother Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, I really cannot endure this torture any longer. I should take my leave first. Let's chat again when we have time in the future."

Yun Zhe, standing to the side, was incredibly envious. He could only awkwardly glance at Crown Prince Zhou Yuan and cup his hands, intending to leave.

He felt in his heart that whenever he was with Senior Brother Ye, all the women would ignore him, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment. Please accept this token. In twenty-five days, you can come to Qingxuan City to find me. I have something I would like to ask for your help with; I hope you won't refuse."

The youth in green, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, helplessly took a token from his bosom and placed it into Yun Zhe's hand, then watched helplessly as Yun Zhe departed.

After waiting for Yun Zhe to go far away, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan finally regained his composure and turned his gaze to the youth before him, whose face was as exquisite as a demon's.

Yun Zhe possessed the blessing of destiny, which naturally made strangers feel favorable toward him, whereas Ye Xuan relied more on his aura and his face to make people feel close to him.

"Junior Brother Yun couldn't stand it anymore and left."

Ye Xuan smiled. No matter how powerful destiny was, it probably wouldn't work when faced with his face, which could be called a lethal weapon, right?

"Since Fellow Daoist Yun has already departed, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye would do me the honor of accompanying me to Xuanbao Pavilion?"

Crown Prince Zhou Yuan was full of righteousness, and his voice was full of sincerity. "If I hadn't been wandering around the stone gambling market today, I probably wouldn't have met a talent like Fellow Daoist Ye."

"Hmph, Brother Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, you are so hateful. You clearly promised me just before we came out that you would help me choose a good source stone. I want to cut out a treasure too!"

Hearing this, the petite and exquisite Nan Xu immediately showed an expression of dissatisfaction, stomping her little feet. She looked extremely cute.

"This… Brother Ye, I am truly sorry. It was difficult to finally bring my fiancée out to play, if…"

Crown Prince Zhou Yuan immediately showed a troubled expression. He had wanted to get to know this talent, Ye Xuan, but little Nan Xu wouldn't have it. Although friends are good, they are naturally not as important as the wife by his side.

"No worries, no worries. Miss Nan Xu has a refined taste. Brother Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, you should properly accompany your fiancée; that is the most important thing right now."

Ye Xuan didn't care at all. He could still rest for one more day today and would only set off to return to the Cangqiong Holy Land inner sect tomorrow.

Having examined the life destinies of Nan Xu and Crown Prince Zhou Yuan just now, he naturally knew what would inevitably happen next.

Nan Xu would pick a source stone and cut out an Earth-grade jade, the Ice Flower Hibiscus Jade, which would then be carved by Crown Prince Zhou Yuan into a hairpin and gifted to her.
