Was there more to this?
Could it be-Chen Xuanji had not been injured?
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, a thought on the verge of surfacing.
It was already a certainty that Chen Xuanji practiced the Martial Path!
Because of Chen Yunfan, because of the Chen Family of Jiangnan!
Chen Yunfan practiced the Martial Path and deliberately concealed himself, and every technique he had learned was among the very best.
That held true for both the Earth Grade Mysterious Turtle Breath Concealment Art and the sword technique he practiced.
That was enough to show that the Chen Family of Jiangnan harbored quite a few experts.

Thinking carefully, what had made Chen Yi overlook the possibility that Chen Xuanji practiced the Martial Path?
Previously, Chen Xuanji had been the Provincial Governor of Jiangnan Prefecture, a civil official, so it seemed natural to think he devoted himself to his studies.
