Ye Wuya glanced kindly and smiled; he had great trust in Xia Liu. To have a friend who could go to such lengths, to be his friend, was not in vain. After parting ways with Ye Wuya, Xia Liu went to the Chen Family. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last came here. He did not disturb the rest of the Chen Family. Xia Liu used his movement technique and appeared directly on the pavilion where Chen Tian'en usually rested. However, today was somewhat different; in addition to Chen Tian'en, there was another person in the pavilion. His granddaughter, Chen Yingke. At this moment, Chen Yingke had changed significantly compared to before. Wearing a long blue dress, seemingly a training outfit from a certain sect. But it perfectly complimented her figure, making her extraordinarily charming. "Grandpa, I feel you are greatly wronged, guarding the Heavenly Mansion for that guy, and you were severely injured before. How long has it been since that guy last visited you." Chen Yingke poured a cup of tea for Chen Tian'en, expressing grievance in her voice. Though she did not mention names, everyone knew whom she referred to. "Yingying, you shouldn't think this way. Our accomplishments today are all thanks to Chief Xia's help. If my hidden ailments weren't removed, the grass on my grave would be taller than people by now." "But still, how can you say that, Grandpa." Chen Yingke was startled, realizing she shouldn't say bad things about that guy in front of her grandpa. "Even though Chief Xia is young, he bears a very significant responsibility that we cannot fathom. With him supporting the Heavenly Mansion, just having his name is enough." Chen Tian'en would always support Xia Liu. Encountering this genius young man in his lifetime was his fortune. "Fine, I won't say any more. Anyway, I think he is not fulfilling his responsibilities as the Heavenly Mansion Chief." "Yingying, if you keep talking this way, I'll send word to your master and have her increase your cultivation training." "Grandpa! I was wrong!" Chen Yingke's expression changed. She came home this time because she didn't want to train and was being sneaky. If Grandpa told her master to increase the difficulty, it would be more painful than death. "Haha, good evening, Senior Chen." Listening to the conversation between the grandparent and grandchild, Xia Liu was very moved. Chen Tian'en, in every way, stood up for him. Even his own granddaughter wouldn't be defended; his intentions were clear. Chen Tian'en and Chen Yingke were both taken aback. Soon, they saw a graceful figure ascend from the stairs. "Senior Chen, you're too polite!" Seeing Chen Tian'en about to bow, Xia Liu used his Divine Sense to immediately restrain him, preventing the next motion. Facing a stronger aura than before, Chen Tian'en concluded that Xia Liu's strength had further advanced! Chen Yingke remained silent, sneaking glances at Xia Liu. "Senior Chen, Yingying is right; I truly have not been a competent Heavenly Mansion Chief." Recalling their previous conversation, Xia Liu admitted with a bitter smile. "Chief Xia, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. Even though you are not often at the Heavenly Mansion, I have heard of your achievements." Chen Tian'en hastily explained. "Grandpa, he isn't even at the Heavenly Mansion; how could there be any achievements to speak of?" Xia Liu's presence was timely, and Chen Yingke intended to reprimand him, thinking that letting her Grandpa handle everything wasn't right and that Xia Liu should be removed as the Heavenly Mansion Chief. "Yingying, you might not know this, being away from the Heavenly Mansion, but a few months ago, Chief Xia resolved an issue in Yun Province that even Innate Warriors couldn't handle." "How is that possible? If even someone at the Innate Realm couldn't manage it, how did he do it?" Chen Yingke didn't believe it; she thought Grandpa was making up stories again, exaggerating Xia Liu's abilities. "As I mentioned before, besides martial artists, there are many other powerful beings in this world. This time, Chief Xia struck down a sorcerer in Yun Province..." Chen Tian'en shared everything he knew with his granddaughter. Chen Yingke roughly understood what was going on, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and she didn't know how to retreat from it. "It's not as exaggerated as Senior Chen makes it out to be; I was just passing by and helped out on the way." With Xia Liu's words, Chen Yingke gave him an exaggerated eye-roll. What kind of person is this, doesn't know how to be humble at all. Just 'passing by and helping out', how many people would that demoralize! "You're indeed incredible, but before, Grandpa was almost paralyzed because of your affairs. How do you explain that?" Chen Yingke suddenly remembered, even though Grandpa could still stand here now. Before this, what he went through would be unforgettable for a lifetime. "Yingying, don't be unruly!" Seeing Xia Liu's silence, Chen Tian'en sternly rebuked. Fresh chapters posted on NoveIꜰire.net These awkward matters, let bygones be bygones; rehashing them might destroy their friendship altogether. Huaxia couldn't do without Xia Liu, and the Chen Family certainly couldn't lose this friend either. "Senior Chen, Yingying has a point; that matter was my negligence." "Chief Xia, being part of the Heavenly Mansion, I have long accepted life and death with equanimity. When facing enemies, of course, we should confront them together." Chen Tian'en was very open-minded. At that time, that situation was directed at Xia Liu, causing chaos at the Heavenly Mansion was to be expected. It wasn't something Xia Liu could control. "But don't worry, Yingying, the one who harmed Senior Chen was slain by me on the spot." Xia Liu's tone turned cold. "Hmm? You killed him?" Both Chen Yingke and Chen Tian'en were taken aback. "I had no intention to kill him, but it happened, and I've been running around these past days addressing matters of the Xuantian Sect and the Immeasurable Sect." "The Five Great Immortal Sects of Huaxia!" Hearing Xia Liu say this, Chen Tian'en was shocked. It turns out Xia Liu has already reached such a terrifying level, dealing with two of the Five Great Immortal Sects! "The person who harmed you was the son of Ye Tiande, Sect Master of Xuantian Sect, Ye Chen. After I killed him, Ye Tiande led people to destroy the Osmanthus Sect; Qingyun Sect and Shu Mountain Sect stepped forward to help me..." Taking the opportunity, Xia Liu explained the recent events between himself and the Five Great Immortal Sects. Chen Tian'en needed to know these events. After all, though he was nominally the Heavenly Mansion Chief, Chen Tian'en was the real one. Chen Tian'en listened attentively to Xia Liu's narrative. During this, his eyelids kept twitching. It turns out that since his injury, Xia Liu had done so many tremendous things. Each matter was world-shattering. Neither he nor the Chen Family could compare with him. In the end, Chen Yingke also fell silent. She dared not counter Xia Liu any longer. This man, not much older than herself, was terrifyingly powerful. Pacifying the Xuantian Sect, reorganizing the Immeasurable Sect, annihilating the Ghost Gate of Western Mountain... In every matter, his presence was felt. How was she qualified to criticize and teach him... "Chief Xia, regarding your accomplishments, I can only do this." Chen Tian'en gave a thumbs-up. He didn't know what else to say, perhaps only two words could represent it: sky-breaking! "Haha, Senior Chen overpraises me; I've actually come today to inquire about some news." Xia Liu smiled slightly and stated his purpose.
