216: Chapter 216 He's very angry

"Don't misunderstand. I only considered that this item hasn't become common yet, Xiao Yue. If you wear it out, it might easily arouse suspicion. Of course, in private or in front of me, there's no need to be so careful."

Chen Qingxuan said with a straight face.

"Is that so!"

Fu Yue's expression flickered;

Although she felt something was off, she couldn't put her finger on it.

In the end, she didn't refute Chen Qingxuan's suggestion. She returned to the stone bench, sat down, lifted her skirt, and slowly peeled off the black silk stockings covering her beautiful legs;

*Gulp*~

Chen Qingxuan swallowed hard as he watched.

It wasn't that his thoughts were wicked; he was simply a normal man.

Fu Yue's beauty was one in a million, breathtakingly exquisite. Now, removing black silk stockings in front of a normal man...

This scene alone was enough to make any normal man's blood boil.

It was too tempting.

Just seeing such a beauty was enough to make one lose themselves, let alone having her take off her black silk stockings right in front of him!

"Hmm?"

Fu Yue suddenly looked up;

Meeting Chen Qingxuan's guilty gaze, her pretty face flushed hot. "You... why have you been staring at me?"

"Ahem!"

Chen Qingxuan coughed lightly and said seriously, "Times change and the stars shift. Unknowingly, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. I suddenly feel that this meeting is somewhat destined. Perhaps in the future, we can gather often, talk about life, and pursue the path to immortality together."

"Hmm?"

Fu Yue blinked her long eyelashes.

For a moment, she didn't know what Chen Qingxuan meant, but she felt a bit flustered.

Thus, Fu Yue hurriedly took her leave of Chen Qingxuan.

After she left.

Chen Qingxuan let out a long sigh of relief. "It looks like it should be fine now."

On the other side.

After leaving, even though Fu Yue didn't question Chen Qingxuan further in his presence, her rational side led her to seek confirmation from her father regarding Chen Qingxuan's words once she returned to the Family.

In the Fu Clan's main hall.

Clan Leader, the current leader of the Fu Clan, frowned upon hearing his daughter's question. "You've met that young man named Chen Qingxuan?"

Fu Yue nodded slightly. "Father, does he really have a Revered Master surnamed Zi who knows you?"

"Yes!"

Clan Leader nodded noncommittally.

But considering the gravity of the matter, he didn't explain much to his daughter. "Yue'er, this is not something you can get involved in right now. Don't ask further. When the time is right, I will naturally tell you everything."

Fu Yue looked surprised;

On one hand, she confirmed that Chen Qingxuan hadn't lied to her; on the other hand, she didn't expect her father and Chen Qingxuan's explanation to be exactly the same.

Neither wanted her to know too much about the secrets behind the scenes.

Although this made her curiosity even stronger, as a rational Prodigy, Fu Yue nodded and didn't ask further.

But the next moment, she still said, "Father, with Qingxuan participating in the Hundred States Tournament this time, I'm afraid Xiao Tian won't be able to take the top spot."

"You don't need to worry about this," Clan Leader said calmly. "We have just decided that the Fu Clan will withdraw from this Hundred States Tournament. Since you're back, you should go and notify them!"

"What?"

Fu Yue was greatly shocked.

The next moment, she asked urgently, "Father, we're withdrawing from the Hundred States Tournament? Xiao Tian has prepared for this day for so long."

"This is the decision we have made," Clan Leader said calmly. "If Tian'er is unwilling to obey, use your own way to bring him back to the Fu Clan. Do not disrupt the grand plan, and do not mention anything about Chen Qingxuan to others."

"Yes!"

Fu Yue nodded with a complex expression.

At this moment, she vaguely realized that the plan behind this... was likely even bigger than she had imagined.

But just as she was about to leave, Clan Leader suddenly said, "Yue'er, did you just call him Qingxuan?"

"Hmm?"

A hint of guilt flashed in Fu Yue's eyes.

Before she could speak, Clan Leader smiled and said, "It seems you didn't just meet, but also got to know each other. That's good. Restrain your temper in front of him, and never underestimate him."

"I understand."

Fu Yue's pink cheeks flushed hot.

Without saying more, she fled as if escaping.

After all, having just been tricked by Chen Qingxuan and then hearing these words from her father, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

Chen Qingxuan had been so reckless with his lies, even saying that when she was little... she said she wanted to be his wife when she grew up.

For a pure woman who rarely interacted with men and focused solely on Cultivation, yet was taken advantage of to such an extent... this was undoubtedly a massive pit.

A pit big enough to turn her life upside down!

Two days later.

The Fu Clan's decision to withdraw from the Hundred States Tournament swept through Qingzhou and even the entire Three Thousand Divine Provinces like a violent storm.

After all, for these thousands of years, the top spot of the Hundred States Tournament had always been occupied by the Fu Clan of the Dragon Domain. This time, everyone was looking forward to seeing which Prodigy the Fu Clan would produce.

But now, withdrawing without any warning was like taking off one's pants... only to find the webpage wouldn't load.

Everyone, including every power, was shaken.

But the secrets behind this were only known to the high-level experts of the Fu Clan; even the Disciples who were originally going to participate in the Hundred States Tournament didn't know.

And as the center of attention, Fu Tian, the contestant highly expected to win the Hundred States Tournament, had worked hard and Cultivated for a hundred years for this, preparing to make a name for himself;

Fu Tian naturally found it hard to accept.

Especially after learning from his sister that even if he participated, he wouldn't be a match for Chen Qingxuan, he suffered an unspeakable blow.

So, without telling anyone, he went straight to find Chen Qingxuan before the assembly began.

"I want to see just what this guy is made of."

Fu Tian was aggressive.

He didn't believe that as the top Prodigy of the Fu Clan currently eligible for the Hundred States Tournament, he could lose to an unknown person.

Even within the Fu Clan, apart from feeling inferior to his sister Fu Yue, he had never taken anyone seriously.

Now, having to forfeit without even getting the chance to compete with Chen Qingxuan in the Hundred States Tournament was not an outcome he could accept.

In the courtyard.

Seeing the hostile Fu Tian, Chen Qingxuan raised an eyebrow. "You want to spar with me?"

"It's a life-and-death duel!"

Fu Tian said sharply, "Kid, although I don't know where you come from, do you have the guts to have a life-and-death duel with me?"

"Heh!"

Chen Qingxuan sneered;

Looking at Fu Tian's current state, he knew Fu Yue probably hadn't explained much to him.

At this thought, Chen Qingxuan said calmly, "Go back. You are not my match."

"What? You're afraid?"

Fu Tian said through gritted teeth.

Facing Chen Qingxuan's dismissive attitude made him even more furious.

Seeing the other party refuse to listen to reason, Chen Qingxuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Your sister doesn't know you came to find me, does she?"

"Hmm?" Fu Tian was slightly stunned and said, "So what if she doesn't? Do you dare to have a life-and-death duel with me?"

Chen Qingxuan frowned and said, "If you stir up my fire, then... I'll have to tell your sister that I've got a lot of fire right now!"
