I sighed inwardly, wondering what kind of auspicious day it was.
How come there are still some easy targets who willingly offer themselves up for harvesting...
At this time.
Helian Ba led the way, bringing Ren Qianxing and Bai Yu'er into the crowd. He clasped his hands in a salute to Chen Yan and said, "Helian Ba, the Palace Master of the Sea Shark Palace, along with his disciple Ren Qianxing and his adopted daughter Bai Yu'er, pay their respects to Immortal Master Chen!"
behind him.
Ren Qianxing and Bai Yuer both clasped their hands in a salute.
Chen Yan smiled and nodded, accepting their greetings with a calm and composed demeanor.
Given Chen Yan's current status and position, he can easily accept such a generous gift, and even have some money to spare.
At this time.
Helian Ba smiled slightly and then said to Luo Xian, "Godmother, others may be afraid of Emperor Shitian, but Master Chen is definitely not afraid."
Putting aside everything else, Indra has lived for over two thousand years before he achieved his current abilities.
Master Chen was only in his early twenties, in the prime of his life, yet his strength was already not much less than that of Emperor Shitian.
Therefore, Master Chen had absolutely no reason to fear Indra…
After hearing Helian Ba's words, Luo Xian pouted and ignored her.
Chen Yan chuckled to himself.
Helian Ba, that old fox, praised me like this to my face. If he were in front of Di Shitian, he would probably have a different story.
Don't expose it now.
He calmly picked up his teacup and drank his tea, waiting for Helian Ba to reveal his intentions.
really.
Seeing that Chen Yan completely ignored his flattery, even Helian Ba, with his thick skin, felt slightly embarrassed. He bowed again and said, "Master Chen, I have come all this way to ask you a question. I wonder if that's alright?"
"Row."
Chen Yan's answer was concise and clear.
After saying that, he pointed to the wooden box containing the note. It was a very simple thing; to ask a question, you just needed to fulfill two conditions.
Ten taels of silver was nothing to a local tyrant like Helian Ba, but the contents of the wooden box made him a little uneasy.
I was hoping to get closer to Chen Yan and see if I could get rid of this condition.
But to his surprise, Chen Yan, though young, was very shrewd and wouldn't fall for his flattery. He felt both helpless and annoyed.
Ren Qianxing and Bai Yuer also looked at Chen Yan at this moment.
Ren Qianxing looked at Chen Yan with awe and admiration.
From the day he heard the rumors about Chen Yan, Chen Yan practically became his idol.
At a young age, his fame resounded throughout the martial arts world, making him a proud figure across the land—this was precisely what Ren Qianxing aspired to…
Bai Yu'er looked at Chen Yan with a hint of amazement.
It's not just men who like to look at beautiful women.
Women, when they see a man who is too outstanding, will unconsciously take a second look and blush.
This has nothing to do with being a fangirl or not; it's an aesthetic response ingrained in our genes.
Just like when Bai Yu'er saw Chen Yan, although it wasn't love at first sight, she was still captivated by Chen Yan's handsome appearance and unrestrained temperament, which made her heart beat a little faster...

Chapter 205 Guan Yutian, your disciple is calling you out.
Helian Ba's attempts to flatter Chen Yan backfired, leaving him no choice but to follow the rules like everyone else.
First, he took out a large gold ingot and placed it on the counter.
Then, gritting his teeth, he reached into the wooden box and pulled out a slip of paper with the conditions written on it.
at this time.
He was extremely anxious, fearing that he had drawn some extremely dangerous condition.
The people around him were filled with anticipation, hoping he would draw a difficult condition.
A few more breaths passed.
at last.
Helian Ba pulled out a slip of paper from the wooden box, and the moment he opened it, a very bright smile appeared on his face.
He waved the opened slip of paper in front of Chen Yan, grinning from ear to ear, and said, "Master Chen, I'm lucky! I drew a blank slip of paper! Hahaha..."
Helian Ba laughed heartily.
He himself was also a regional overlord.
Even a powerful ruler needs to maintain some dignity.
Before coming, he had heard about the embarrassing story of Xiong Ba drawing the song "Itch" and was afraid that he would follow in Xiong Ba's footsteps. Fortunately, he was a little bit luckier than Xiong Ba and drew a blank slip of paper.
"Hahaha……!"
Helian Ba was in high spirits and couldn't help but laugh out loud, which showed how much people in the martial arts world feared Chen Yan's wooden box.
"Congratulations, Sect Leader."
"Congratulations, godfather."
Ren Qianxing and Bai Yu'er both cupped their hands in congratulations.
Helian Ba nodded with a smile.
"That old ghost, he's got pretty good luck. Back when I drew the 'New Treasure Island' silly dance, I was so embarrassed!"
Yaoyue was a little envious and gritted her teeth in secret.
Lianxing, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression.
Firstly, she has a naturally easygoing personality.
Secondly, it was precisely because she drew the option to dance the "otaku dance" that she was able to quickly develop a closer relationship with Chen Yan. Therefore, she not only didn't hold a grudge about drawing the option to dance the "Secretary Dance," but was even somewhat grateful...
At this time.
Chen Yan also offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Sect Leader Helian. You may ask your questions now."
Helian Ba nodded repeatedly.
Then he frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, seemingly pondering how to voice his doubts...
The people around them were secretly suspicious.
I don't know what kind of question could make an old fox like Helian Ba, who is also a regional overlord, travel thousands of miles and risk the consequences of being forced to commit suicide, just to ask Master Chen a question.
at last.
After Helian Ba finished thinking, he cupped his hands to Chen Yan and said in a deep voice, "The question I would like to ask Immortal Master Chen is very simple."
After I killed Guan Yutian, annexed the Supreme Sect, and became the dominant force in the region.
For some reason, even though I've already taken control of a region, I always feel uneasy, as if an invisible crisis is lurking around me, making me feel like I have thorns in my back and keeping me awake at night...
My intuition is usually very accurate.
This matter has kept me up at night, which is why I came here specifically to ask Master Chen for advice on why I have this sense of crisis.
My intuition was wrong after all.
Or is there truly some inexplicable danger lurking around me...?
Upon hearing Helian Ba's question, both Ren Qianxing and Bai Yu'er felt a chill in their hearts.
As Helian Ba's trusted subordinates, none of them had heard Helian Ba mention this matter, which shows that Helian Ba was also wary of them.
Bai Yu'er was heartbroken. She had always regarded Helian Ba as her father, but she never expected that Helian Ba would be so wary of her.
Ren Qianxing's eyes flashed with a cold light!
He has never been one to be content to be subservient to others; standing out from the crowd has always been his greatest aspiration!
"Heh, Helian Ba, so what if you don't trust me? I'm not truly loyal to you either. Given the chance, I will personally kill you, firstly to avenge my master Guan Yutian, and secondly to seize your position and take it for myself!"
Those around were slightly taken aback by Helian Ba's question.
Secretly sighing.
As expected of a powerful ruler, he possesses remarkably accurate intuition. Though mysterious and enigmatic, this extraordinary talent undoubtedly adds a significant advantage to his standing in the martial world…
Even Chen Yan couldn't help but glance at Helian Ba in surprise.
He realized that Helian Ba's abilities exceeded his expectations. Indeed, one should not underestimate any established figure in the martial arts world of Kyushu. Their rise to prominence is due to extraordinary strength or hidden trump cards...
"Master Chen, you haven't answered yet..."
Seeing that Chen Yan did not speak, Helian Ba became a little anxious and asked another question.
Chen Yan interrupted him, laughing, "Sorry, I was just a little lost in thought because I was admiring your extraordinary talent, Sect Leader Helian..."
