94: Chapter 94 Casual Chat

He admitted it candidly.

Xiang Tian suddenly realized.

He hurriedly cupped his hands solemnly: "So it is Young Master Ouyang, a pleasure to meet you!"

Since Ouyang Changlin had stepped in to protect him yesterday, he figured a tiger father would not have a dog for a son.

This Ouyang Yuanshan should also be a person of upright character.

A hint of goodwill involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

"Young Master Xiang is too polite." Ouyang Yuanshan also cupped his hands in return and nodded with a smile.

"My name is Yan Linfei!"

Just at that moment, a crisp female voice suddenly rang out.

A figure darted out from who knows where.

She rushed straight in front of Xiang Tian and extended a pair of slender, jade-like hands.

Xiang Tian was slightly taken aback.

Among the top families in the imperial city that he knew of, there was no one with the surname Yan.

"Hello, Young Miss Yan." He suppressed the doubts in his heart, politely extended his hand, and gently shook hers.

It felt soft and slightly cool to the touch, with smooth, delicate skin; the sensation was excellent.

"Alright, since you have all met, you may go about your business." The Ninth Princess's voice rang out at the right moment, interrupting their interaction.

"Your Highness, where did you find this person?" Yan Linfei immediately turned to the Ninth Princess.

"His cultivation is way too low!"

"Do not underestimate his cultivation; his true strength is far beyond what appears on the surface," the Ninth Princess said indifferently.

"Even Feiyan is not his match."

"That laggard Shangguan Feiyan?" Yan Linfei scoffed, her face full of disdain.

"Yan Linfei! What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?" Shangguan Feiyan was immediately displeased, her brows locked in a frown, her tone full of anger.

This was clearly humiliating her in public!

"Heh, do you not know how much you are worth?" Yan Linfei raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

"Both of you, stop arguing!" The Ninth Princess furrowed her brows, her tone sinking, "I summoned Xiang Tian to the estate, not for you all to engage in verbal sparring here."

Seeing that the Ninth Princess was angry, the two immediately fell silent.

The Ninth Princess swept her gaze over everyone present and slowly said, "Everyone in the estate is a person of outstanding talent. I will be arranging a hunting event in the near future."

"The location of this hunt is near the border of the Dayue Kingdom, and I fear there may be some danger. If anyone does not wish to participate, you may simply inform me."

"Others may choose not to go, but I, Qin Batian, will definitely go!" Without waiting for others to speak, the afro-haired Qin Batian was the first to respond loudly.

"Heh, although I am a woman, I have never known what the word 'fear' means!" Yan Linfei was not to be outdone, raising her chin as she spoke.

With two people taking the lead, the others naturally did not want to fall behind and all expressed their willingness to participate.

Seeing this, Xiang Tian also nodded.

"Good!" The Ninth Princess nodded in satisfaction.

"You may walk around and familiarize yourselves with the estate. Let's end here for today!"

After speaking, she took a token from her bosom, threw it to Xiang Tian, and then turned and left the training ground with Shangguan Feiyan.

As soon as the Ninth Princess left, several figures quickly swarmed up, surrounding Xiang Tian completely.

"What do you want to do?" Xiang Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at everyone vigilantly.

"Little brother, do you have a Dao Companion?" Yan Linfei, ignoring his vigilance, stepped forward and reached out to hold his arm tightly in her embrace.

"Ah! Young Miss Yan, this... this is not appropriate!" The sudden soft sensation made Xiang Tian's whole body stiffen, and he was immediately at a loss.

"Oh my, you should call me Lin Fei; calling me Young Miss Yan is so distant!" Yan Linfei leaned into his ear, her voice cooing with a touch of coquettishness.

This cloyingly sweet voice made Xiang Tian dizzy and his whole body numb.

"Yan Linfei! Get the hell away!" Seeing this, Qin Batian was instantly enraged and roared loudly.

"Qin Batian, why are you yelling? Do you believe I'll castrate you?" Yan Linfei was startled by his roar, then let go of Xiang Tian, turned around to glare at Qin Batian, her cheeks flushed red with anger.

Xiang Tian watched, dumbfounded; this woman's transformation was too fast.

One second she was delicate and charming, the next she became fierce.

"Little brother, don't misunderstand, I'm not usually like this." Yan Linfei noticed Xiang Tian's gaze, immediately turned her head back, leaned into his ear to explain softly, her tone returning to gentleness.

"Yan Linfei, stop pretending to be weak here! If you have the ability, come to the arena and fight me!" Qin Batian couldn't be bothered to watch her change faces; after speaking, he headed straight for the arena not far away.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Yan Linfei snorted coldly, moved her body, and followed him onto the arena.

"Brother Xiang, the two of them often bicker like this, don't mind it." Chen Yan walked up, pointed to a pavilion not far away, and said with a smile, "Let's go sit over there and chat while we drink!"

The others also nodded in agreement.

Everyone arrived at the pavilion to sit, and a maidservant quickly brought tea.

"Xiang Tian, we have all heard of your deeds in the Ouyang Family Secret Realm." Ouyang Yuanshan picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and spoke slowly.

"Brother Ouyang, you mean..." Xiang Tian raised his eyes to look at him, a vague guess forming in his heart.

"Is my meaning not obvious enough?" Ouyang Yuanshan put down his teacup, his gaze solemn, "An innocent man is guilty of his own treasure."

With just these eight words, Xiang Tian understood completely.

These people clearly knew that he had subdued a Dragon.

"Why should this be considered a 'crime'?" Xiang Tian, however, didn't care, instead raising an eyebrow and saying with a smile, "I actually think this is a perfect opportunity for me to make a name for myself."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then stood up one after another, cupping their hands, their eyes full of admiration.

"Brother Xiang is truly a hero among men; I admire you!" Chen Yan said sincerely.

"Xiang Tian, you really are as heroic as ever!" Jin Yuan looked at Xiang Tian, stars seemingly appearing in his eyes, his tone incomparably eager.

Xiang Tian was startled by his appearance and inwardly muttered: What is this guy up to again?

"Ahem, we Cultivators should naturally face difficulties head-on." Xiang Tian cleared his throat, stood up from the stool, stood with his hands behind his back, and said heroically, "If we can't even withstand this little setback, what is the point of cultivating immortality or refining the Dao?"

"As expected of Young Master Xiang! What a spirit!" Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but praise him.

Xiang Tian was secretly pleased with himself.

He dared to say these words because he naturally had the confidence.

He was a man with a System; there was no need to be timid in his actions.

What's more, he had a good aunt like Xiang Ting who loved him dearly.

Furthermore, he had the Talisman gifted by the Great Emperor in his hands.

With these three layers of protection in hand, he didn't need to worry excessively at all.

"Xiang Tian, you must be careful of that woman, Yan Linfei, in the future." Ouyang Yuanshan suddenly stood up, walked to Xiang Tian's side, pulled him to sit beside him, and lowered his voice to say.

"Oh? Is this woman very special?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow, feeling some doubt in his heart.

In his view, although Yan Linfei's personality was a bit flighty, she was so beautiful that she couldn't be that bad.

"This woman is not from our You Province; her background is very mysterious." Ouyang Yuanshan said with a serious tone, speaking gloomily.

"Oh? Could she be from the Yan Family of Yan Province?" Xiang Tian's heart stirred, remembering that Yan Qingyu was a disciple of the Yan Family of Yan Province.

"Regardless of where she comes from, she is definitely not as simple as she appears on the surface." Ouyang Yuanshan shook his head and continued, "You just entered the estate, and she took the initiative to approach you and get close; this is too deliberate, don't you think it's strange?"

"Brother Ouyang, I don't like to hear that." Xiang Tian sat up straight and said solemnly, "Could it not be because I am handsome that she specially approached me?"

The others heard this and all covered their foreheads, expressions of helplessness appearing on their faces.

This Xiang Tian was just too narcissistic!

"Ahem, Brother Xiang, let's talk about serious matters." Ouyang Yuanshan coughed lightly, interrupting him, "This woman, you really must guard against."

"It's no big deal, she's just a woman." Xiang Tian waved his hand and said indifferently, "If she really dares to do me harm, I have plenty of ways to deal with her."

He muttered to himself: At worst, I'll just use my "ultimate move" and "sleep-convince" her.

Of course, he only dared to think this in his heart; he wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

The women in this other world were all stunning beauties; it was simply a paradise for men, and he couldn't bear to really be ruthless to them.

"Brother Xiang, if you are so careless, it will be very easy to fall into her trap." Chen Yan interjected at this moment.

"If you have the chance for Dual Cultivation in the future, and she suddenly attacks you when you are unprepared, how would you respond?"

"That is incorrect!" Xiang Tian patted his chest and said confidently, "With a physique as strong as mine, during Dual Cultivation, she wouldn't have a chance to attack me at all!"

Just as he finished speaking, he realized that what he had said was a bit improper, and he quickly laughed sheepishly: "Haha, strayed off-topic, strayed off-topic."

"Alright, I have noted everyone's kind reminders." Xiang Tian put away his joking expression and solemnly cupped his hands to everyone.

He could tell that these people were genuinely concerned for him.

The Ninth Princess's judgment shouldn't be bad; the characters of these advisors in the estate were all quite decent.

The reason Yan Linfei was suspected by everyone was mostly because her background was mysterious and her actions were too ostentatious.

"We are just giving you a reminder; how to specifically deal with it depends on you." Ouyang Yuanshan patted his shoulder and said softly.

"Are you few talking bad about me behind my back?" Just at this moment, a figure suddenly descended outside the pavilion; it was none other than Yan Linfei, who had just finished fighting with Qin Batian.
