"What?"
Clearly, Lan Luo's shocked expression was not feigned. It looked like she did not know many things.
Actually, Xiao Chen did not know, either. However, he could guess it.
From the start until now, the Soaring Dragon Marquis had a firm grasp of the situation. As long as he wanted to, he could stop the bet between Xiao Chen and Monarch Yu at any time.
However, he did not, silently agreeing to the bet.
Even when Xiao Chen pierced Monarch Yu with his saber, the Soaring Dragon Marquis did not stop it.
He allowed Xiao Chen to defeat Monarch Yu in front of everyone, causing Monarch Yu to lose face and end up in a sorry state.
In the end, when Monarch Yu went somewhat crazy and wanted to execute a killing move that would end in mutual destruction, the Soaring Dragon Marquis easily stopped him.
Such a scene verified some of Xiao Chen's guesses.
However, it did not matter. Xiao Chen did not care about all this. Now, he was more open-minded about many things.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Soaring Dragon Marquis held high authority and horrifying strength.
In Xiao Chen's heart, he treated the Soaring Dragon Marquis as an equal. He did not feel that there was a need to be cautious or cautious.
All he needed was to maintain respect for the strong.
"Xiao Chen, are you saying that my father purposely framed you so that you would suffer Monarch Yu's rage?"
Lan Luo asked quickly when Xiao Chen remained silent.
"Perhaps. However, it was not intentional. He was just going with the flow. Most of the reason is that Monarch Yu sought death himself. Otherwise, I would not have opposed him after noticing that something was off. "
Xiao Chen consoled, "Don't dwell on this. Your father is in the dynasty. Most of the time, he cannot directly offend the royal clan. He is in a high position and has many implications for the interests of the entire dynasty. He cannot express his stance casually.
"If an outsider appeared at this moment and could share his burden, that would naturally be for the best. Furthermore, I do not mind doing him a favor at little cost. After all, he is your father. "
Xiao Chen placed more emphasis on the word "you," expressing Xiao Chen's opinion on this matter.
As you are Lan Luo, I do not care even if your father is in the wrong.
Xiao Chen's meaning was not obvious, but Lan Luo could still make it out.
"Thank you."
Feeling warmth in her heart, Lan Luo expressed her thanks and quickly took her leave. She had some doubts in her heart that she wanted to clarify.
After Monarch Yu left, Xiao Chen glanced at the little monk, who was still trembling with Monarch Yu's subordinates. Then, he said softly, "You've played enough. Let's go."
"Roger that."
The little monk giggled and used the Heavenly Heart Finger to sweep away the four late-stage Star Venerate old men.
He leaped into the air and landed in the bag on Xiao Chen's back.
The remaining people immediately felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders, and they felt much more relaxed.
Only the two Holy Venerates looked at Xiao Chen with some displeasure in their eyes.
He didn't want to let Xiao Chen go so easily.
With Monarch Yu in such a miserable state, these attendants and guards would definitely be held responsible. None of them could escape punishment.
Xiao Chen glanced at them indifferently. Then, he ignored these people and left.
Marquis's estate, within the study of the Soaring Dragon Marquis.
"Father, this Xiao Chen is really incredible, even though he is just a Star Venerate. Although he is still a Star Venerate, I can tell that his potential is even greater than those princes'. He is completely worthy of Eighth Sister. "
Inside the room, Long Yan continued excitedly to the Soaring Dragon Marquis, "Furthermore, Eighth Sister truly likes him. I think he really can do it!"
At this moment, the Soaring Dragon Marquis was reading a book. After he put it down, he said, "Never mind. When the Hidden Spirit Temple's people arrive, we'll let him leave. It is best not to get involved in this mess. "
Long Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Father, isn't this the plan you thought of? Let Monarch Yu, who brought the marriage certificate, fight with Xiao Chen, lose, and take the initiative to leave.
"Now that we have achieved our goal, why do we not agree to Eighth Sister and Xiao Chen being together?"
Xiao Chen guessed right. From the very start, the Soaring Dragon Marquis had everything under his control.
Monarch Yu had brought the marriage certificate of his father, Duke Yun, to propose to the Soaring Dragon Marquis.
Duke Yun was a person with authority in the dynasty. He was very close to the Eighth Prince's bloodline.
When the throne changed, the emperor had to abdicate every one hundred years unless there were special circumstances. Then, the most outstanding prince would be chosen to inherit the throne.
That was to say, the emperor of the Yanwu Dynasty could only hold the throne for one hundred years.
Then, the emperor would have to abdicate and let his descendants enjoy the resources and the Luck of the dynasty, as well as the supreme imperial authority.
This was for the sake of providing the dynasty with fresh blood, ensuring that the dynasty maintained its vitality.
This was to maintain its combat prowess in the competition with the surrounding empires and dynasties.
Otherwise, the dynasty would become rigid, and its Luck would decline. The nation's Luck could fall at any moment.
Once the ancient dynasties became rigid, the nation's Luck would decline, and there would be the risk of destruction.
Since ancient times, there had been no lack of such examples.
Even the strong Tianwu Dynasty of the past nearly perished due to the decline of the nation's Luck.
Hence, the rulers of the various dynasties and empires would not remain in power for too long. Otherwise, no matter how brilliant they were, the dynasty's system would inevitably become rigid.
This was something that could not be avoided. Hence, the dynasty had to change every one hundred years to maintain its vitality and vigor.
Now, the Yanwu Dynasty's one hundred years were almost up.
The competition between the various princes was intense. Strong people from all walks of life all took sides.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis did not want to get involved with Duke Yun because he did not want to get sucked into the whirlpool of power struggles for the throne.
However, Duke Yun was strong, and the Soaring Dragon Marquis could not directly reject him, not giving him face.
Coincidentally, Xiao Chen appeared at this moment.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis thought of using Xiao Chen to defeat Monarch Yu, making him take the initiative to withdraw.
He had no choice but to do this.
Even if he offended Duke Yun, it would just be a fight between the younger generation. Duke Yun would not be able to find a reason to seek trouble for Xiao Chen.
This matter looked flawless. Even Monarch Yu himself would not have expected it.
Monarch Yu was an intelligent person. Everything was within his calculations. How could he fall for the Soaring Dragon Marquis's scheme?
However, this was the truth. At this moment, the unconscious Monarch Yu had already been carried out of the Dragon Marquis's residence. He would not have the face to bring the marriage certificate to propose again.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis looked at his eldest son in confusion.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis asked softly, "Why do you think I am so certain that Xiao Chen will defeat Monarch Yu?"
Long Yan smiled and said, "Father, as a Sovereign Personage, your eyes are naturally extraordinary. How could you not see it? With a comparison, you can easily tell who is stronger and who is weaker. "
When the Soaring Dragon Marquis heard that, he laughed. Then, he removed the armor on his chest and the Heart-Protecting Mirror, revealing an eye-catching wound on his shoulder. Even now, this wound had not healed completely. One could see the festering wound.
"Father, when did you get injured? Did an assassin come in?"
Long Yan's expression changed drastically as he stood up in a fluster.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis put on the armor and the Heart-Protecting Mirror again. Then, he said indifferently, "This was left by Xiao Chen last night."
"Ah!" Long Yan's expression turned even more shocked.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis said, "I'm fine already. Don't worry. It's just somewhat difficult to heal."
That night, the mysterious black-clad man who watched Xiao Chen brandish his saber was the Soaring Dragon Marquis himself.
Originally, the Soaring Dragon Marquis wanted to make a move himself to test out Xiao Chen's strength.
Who knew, on that night, when the bright moon hung high in the sky, a white-clad man danced alone to the moon.
With just one look, the Soaring Dragon Marquis was shocked, intoxicated by that exquisite Saber Technique. Amid the mottled light and shadow, the exquisite and gentle saber light hid a roaring heart.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis forgot about his original target and quietly watched Xiao Chen's Saber Technique, his horizons broadening.
However, the Soaring Dragon Marquis had not expected Xiao Chen to discover him. By the time he startled awake, the saber light had already struck him.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis quickly fled, not paying much attention to it. However, when the sky brightened, he discovered how startling this saber light was.
Even the Soaring Dragon Marquis could not completely remove it. This was simply shocking.
After Long Yan heard that, he felt a chill. Xiao Chen's potential was far greater than he had imagined.
To think that even his father could not quickly heal his wound. This Xiao Chen was truly a demonic genius on a monster-level.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis's gaze was deep as he said indifferently, "Now, do you know why I sent him away? It is not that he is not outstanding enough but that he is too outstanding. My Marquis's Residence cannot afford to raise such a large True Dragon. "
"I understand. However, Eighth Sister …" Long Yan frowned slightly. When he thought of his beloved Eighth Sister, he felt somewhat sad.
