Chapter 1204 The Chen Family's Prodigy
Ye Nanxiao asked Mo Cheng for more details about this young master of the Chen family.
It was later discovered that this scion of a prominent family was kind and righteous, never liked to bully others with his power, considered himself to have the virtues of an ancient righteous man, and vowed that a great man born between heaven and earth must make a difference.
He even keeps every woman he has ever been intimate with by his side.
This made Ye Nanxiao want to meet him.
Mo Cheng glanced at him. "Speaking of which, Chen Yuanyu is still a fan of your books. He really likes those stories you wrote in the Tang Sect. I once traded a collector's edition of a story to him for a batch of rare metals used for coating."
Ye Nanxiao was somewhat surprised to hear this. He had never published a rare edition of a storybook before.
Mo Cheng winked at him, "I made it up, and that guy actually believed it!"
Great! What a book lover!
He then sensed a hidden meaning in Mo Cheng's words and asked, "Is the Chen family usable?"
"Chen Yuanyu possesses twin martial souls and holds a very high position. If we can win him over, he can be of use, and he alone is the entire Chen family." Mo Cheng had a very high opinion of Chen Yuanyu.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, then he would meet him and see what kind of talent he was.
From what he had just heard, he could roughly deduce Chen Yuanyu's personality and attitude towards various aspects of his actions.
As a scion of a noble family, someone who can maintain manners and etiquette towards commoners can't be too bad, and might even be a breakthrough point for the noble family.
Having made up his mind, Ye Nanxiao decided to personally meet with this young master of the Chen family.
A noble scion who possesses two top-tier martial souls and can also regenerate compassion is practically like a saint reincarnated.
In Ye Nanxiao's understanding, it was difficult to find such a person.
Looking at the scions of noble families around me, Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Shen Ciyuan—all of them were born into high society, and it was only after immersing themselves in the lives of ordinary people that they developed their current views.
If what Mo Cheng said is true, and Chen Yuanyu is the breakthrough point for the Chen family, then if they can get the support of the Chen family, the Douling Empire's plan can be accelerated by one-tenth.
"I request permission to join the operation. Please grant me permission," Gu Xiyu said on the eve of the mission.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at her and casually asked, "Why?"
"He has a unique understanding of righteousness."
"The truth?"
"I can persuade him."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Nanxiao agreed to Gu Xiyu's request.
He temporarily formed a team with Jiang Nannan, Gu Xiyu, and Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng had originally planned to take advantage of the sunset to secretly observe the changes in the Chen family mansion.
Unexpectedly, Ye Nanxiao conjured hundreds of palm-sized ice mirrors, surrounding everyone within them, and activated his invisibility.
Mo Cheng and Gu Xiyu looked at Ye Nanxiao with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Ye Nanxiao felt their gazes and gave a thumbs-up. "When we first met, I told you to work incredibly hard on your soul power control! Soul masters can't rely solely on soul rings!"
"There are only nine spirit rings, so why are twin spirit souls so powerful? Because they have eighteen spirit rings and eighteen spirit skills, giving them an advantage over single spirit soul masters in terms of skills."
"But creating your own soul skill depends entirely on your talent and precise control over your soul power. Look, I can even fly on ice now."
Ye Nanxiao conjured a large patch of floating ice, which carried everyone.
Ye Nanxiao gently floated past the vermilion wall that symbolized the status of a noble family.
The guards hiding in the watchtower were completely unaware that Ye Nanxiao had flown past them with three other people.
"Wow, as expected of the five great families of Lingdou City, there's even a titled Douluo-level guard in one of these watchtowers." Ye Nanxiao stopped in front of a watchtower, his gaze meeting that of an old man sitting inside.
Gu Xiyu and Mo Cheng were so frightened that their hair stood on end. The former was about to draw her sword when she found that the old man was just sitting there quietly, without any reaction.
Ye Nanxiao didn't mean to scare Gu Xiyu and Mo Cheng, but he noticed that a corner of what appeared to be a map was sticking out of the guard's coat pocket.
Gu Xiyu sheathed her martial spirit and glared at Ye Nanxiao.
Mo Cheng put down the Earthshaker. "Big brother, could you please say something next time something like this happens?!"
"Sorry, I suddenly forgot that you two were still with me." Ye Nanxiao apologized sincerely, as he was used to acting alone.
Jiang Nannan, who understood his feelings and abilities best, was not surprised.
Ye Nanxiao pointed at the old guard from a distance, and the frozen flower pattern on his forehead flashed by.
The old guard suddenly widened his eyes; he sensed a deadly threat, and his soul power was about to erupt.
However, a powerful force directly blocked the flow of soul power within his body, and even his body became unresponsive.
A moment later, a chilling cold that pierced his very soul erupted from his body.
Gu Xiyu and Mo Cheng stared blankly as a few frosts appeared on the old guard's body. The old guard's expression changed slightly, and there was still a look of horror in his eyes, but he remained motionless.
Looking at the situation before him, Mo Cheng's mind told him that Ye Nanxiao had already dealt with the Title Douluo in front of him, but his consciousness was still in standby mode.
Ye Nanxiao flicked his finger, and the old man's coat pocket opened, from which a palm-sized drawing flew out.
He took it and saw that, as expected, it was one of the defense maps of the Chen family mansion. The southeast corner was marked on it, which should be the old man's area of responsibility. There should be three more titled Douluo-level guards in charge of the other areas.
"Only a quarter, which means there are still three Title Douluo-level sentinels. There shouldn't be any Title Douluos among the patrolling guards."
"Three more Title Douluos? The Chen family has made progress again in recent years!" Gu Xiyu was the first to recover from her shock.
"The Chen family originally only had two titled Douluo, the two on the surface being the Chen family patriarch and Chen Yuanyu's eldest uncle, Chen Moxuan," she added.
"With such combat power, it's strange that none of the two prime ministers of the Douling Dynasty have fallen into the Chen family." Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
It's impossible to say that the Chen family had no ambition to control the Douling Empire; otherwise, they wouldn't have risen to the top position among the aristocratic families.
However, it's not quite right that the Chen family, which has so many titled Douluo, doesn't have a figure with the highest level of influence in the Douling Dynasty.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly. Now was not the time to think too deeply. Now that he was here and had met the young master of the Chen family, he understood.
With only a quarter of the defense map, Ye Nanxiao could barely deduce the location of the core area of the Chen family mansion.
In this mansion, which was the size of a scenic spot, Ye Nanxiao maintained his speed while flying.
"This is... the prestigious family mansion? Why does it feel less convenient than the Aodu Building?"
The latest novel is first published here!
Jiang Nannan happened to catch a glimpse of a pair of patrolling guards crossing three long corridors, apparently on their way to relieve themselves.
"The house is big enough to fit a whole set of cultivation equipment, but these local nobles of Douling have good taste but not practicality." Ye Nanxiao also noticed the pair of patrolling guards.
Gu Xiyu and Mo Cheng exchanged a glance. They weren't here to infiltrate; they seemed more like tourists.
The two also gained a new understanding of Ye Nanxiao's strength.
Ye Nanxiao identified a direction, and then, based on the data from the median of the three points, he determined that the noble residential area was located in the south.
"Those women near the lotus pond, the one in the middle is Su Wenya, the illegitimate daughter of the Su family. Follow her," Gu Xiyu suddenly said, pointing in a direction.
Ye Nanxiao looked down and saw a beautiful little girl dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a hairpin, followed by several maids.
Mo Cheng pointed to the left, following Su Wenya's direction, "Two corridors away, the Lin sisters."
Jiang Nannan also spotted the third beautiful woman. Gu Xiyu, upon seeing her, gritted her teeth and said, "That's the eldest daughter of the Xiao family! How could they be so generous! Xiao Siqi is the only eldest daughter of the Xiao family!"
"The Xiao family is going to such lengths?" Ye Nanxiao was somewhat surprised. They even sent their eldest daughter to be a concubine.
No wonder they are the greatest family capable of accomplishing great things.
"No, I think it was mostly Xiao Siqi who took the initiative," Mo Cheng said, turning his head to avoid Gu Xiyu's gaze.
Jiang Nannan held Gu Xiyu's small hand and asked, "Little Yu, will we be able to find Chen Yuanyu if we follow these women?"
Gu Xiyu gritted her teeth, but finally sighed, "Yes! That bastard cultivates at night!"
"Cultivating by moonlight? That's also an attribute of the Moon Spirit Dragon." Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin.
"Damn it! If I don't cultivate, then I'll make a baby! The Moon Spirit Dragon is good for that!" Gu Xiyu's face flushed.
Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan immediately turned to look at Gu Xiyu, as they were unaware of the Moon Spirit Dragon's attributes.
Gu Xiyu kicked Mo Cheng in the leg.
Mo Cheng immediately said, "Chen Yuanyu himself once said that when he was proposing marriage, I was serving tea to the head of the family."
He was trained as the clan's top warrior, which is why he was able to serve the clan and was also Gu Xiyu's older brother.
"Replenishing Yang with Yin? Or achieving Yin-Yang harmony?" Ye Nanxiao took out a notebook; the information about the Moon Spirit Dragon wasn't very comprehensive.
Mo Cheng gave a subtle "V" sign.
It's the second type.
"Young Master Chen just blurted this out like that?" Ye Nanxiao asked, "Aren't you afraid of being seen as a potential soulmate?"
There are many madmen in this world, and many powerful female madmen too.
"Nobody believes it, because Chen Yuanyu is a libertine and a frequent visitor to brothels. Those female poets and dancers didn't seem to benefit from it either. I suspect he can control this matter freely," Mo Cheng said.
After all, information about the Moon Spirit Dragon is scarce, so it's normal that most people don't believe it.
Of course, it's also possible that the Chen family blocked the news.
However, it seems that the young master of the Chen family is quite sincere in his desire to marry her.
Ye Nanxiao closed the notebook and fixed his gaze on the several noble ladies below.
Following these women from prominent families, the group soon arrived at a picturesque architectural complex.
Amidst the bright lights, there was actually a small, secluded mountain village.
A handsome young man with an air of nobility was floating in the middle of the lake, fishing with a fish tank in his hand.
"Fisherman, you're sitting right in the middle of the lake, you're not catching any fish!"
Ye Nanxiao made a joke, then floated above the boy. (End of Chapter)
