Poaching Chen Xin Right in Front of the Ning Family
Yu Mingxiao said, "Senior, I was also at the Ye Clan at the time, and I happened to run into Brother Chen."
"You're also at the Ye Clan?" Chen Jianjun looked surprised. "That Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall just died at the Ye Clan's doorstep not long ago. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
Yu Mingxiao coughed twice and said, "To be honest, I killed that Platinum Bishop."
"Oh?" Chen Jianjun raised an eyebrow. "The Platinum Bishop, did you kill him?"
Yu Mingxiao remained calm and nodded slightly. "It's me. Senior doesn't seem very surprised."
"Haha, how can the strength of someone who can guide me in the way of the sword be measured by age?" Chen Jianjun laughed loudly.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil. However, his long-cultivated composure prevented him from showing his emotions.
Yu Mingxiao looks to be no more than 20 years old, but he has the strength to kill the Platinum Bishop. His strength is probably already at the peak of Soul Douluo or even the level of Titled Douluo.
As for whether Yu Mingxiao was telling the truth or not, he had no doubt whatsoever.
As mentioned earlier, the strength of someone who can guide him in the way of the sword cannot be measured by age.
Yu Mingxiao smiled slightly, "You flatter me, senior."
"If my son were half as good as you, I would be completely satisfied," Chen Jianjun said with emotion as he thought of his son.
Just then, Chen Xin finished arranging the banquet and walked into the living room. As soon as she entered, she bumped into her father comparing her to others.
His face darkened as he recalled his childhood, where he was usually the one being praised when compared to others.
He froze on the spot, unsure whether to sit or stand, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Ahem, my son is here, please sit down." Chen Jianjun also came back to his senses and gestured for him to sit down.
Chen Xin had no choice but to find a seat and listen quietly.
Yu Mingxiao glanced at Chen Xin without showing any emotion, and tentatively said, "Senior, how about letting Brother Chen join my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Oh?" Chen Jianjun pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Great! If I could stay by your side, that would be wonderful."
"This might be an opportunity for Chen Xin, allowing him to go further and reach greater heights."
Yu Mingxiao was overjoyed, not expecting Chen Jianjun to sell out Chen Xin so readily. He quickly looked at Chen Xin and asked, "Brother Chen, would you be willing to join my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Well... Brother Yu, may I speak with my father for a few minutes?" Chen Xin asked cautiously.
"Joining a sect is a life-long decision, so it shouldn't be made so hastily. You can talk it over slowly."
Yu Mingxiao chuckled softly, got up, and walked out the door.
Gu Yuena pursed her lips and followed her out.
Chen Xin asked, "Father, why did you make me join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"My son, that Young Sect Master Yu's strength is unfathomable. He revealed the true meaning of swordsmanship in just a few words. Following him will only bring you benefits and harm, and you might even be able to forge your own path in the swordsmanship."
Chen Jianjun sighed softly, "My decision may seem hasty, but it's all for your own good."
Chen Xin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "But I still want to stay by your side to continue my studies. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan may not be suitable for me."
"You're wrong." Chen Jianjun shook his head and said seriously, "Staying by my side means you'll only be walking the same old path I've already walked."
"You should go out and explore, whether it's to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or somewhere else. Only in this way can you forge your own path in the sword."
Chen Xin remained silent.
Chen Jianjun remained silent, knowing that Chen Xin needed to think for herself and was willing to leave her own judgment to the child.
Not long after he stepped out, Yu Mingxiao saw a somewhat familiar figure coming to visit.
The opponent was only one person, so Yu Mingxiao led Gu Yuena to meet them.
"Miss Ning, it's been a long time."
The newcomer was Ning Dingling from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As Chen Jianjun had mentioned before, Ning Mingzhi's daughter often visited the Chen Clan, so Yu Mingxiao wasn't surprised to see her come over.
"Young Sect Master Yu, what are you doing here?"
Ning Dingling's expression changed drastically; she had never expected Yu Mingxiao to appear here.
"If you can come here as a guest, why can't I be here?" Yu Mingxiao smiled faintly.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that it's the first time I've seen you here, so I was a little surprised." Ning Dingling quickly concealed her expression and regained her composure.
At the same time, she also began to subtly observe Gu Yuena next to Yu Mingxiao. Her first impression of her was one of amazement; she had never seen such an ethereal and beautiful girl.
I remember the last time I saw Yu Mingxiao, he was with two women. That guy is really lucky with women.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Mingxiao asked.
Ning Dingling chuckled, "I've come to pay my respects to Elder Chen. But you, when did you become acquainted with the Chen Clan?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Yu Mingxiao casually replied, "Just a short while ago, I happened to come here as a guest."
Just then, Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin also came out of the living room and saw Ning Dingling outside the door. They quickly went to greet her.
"Greetings, Senior Chen." Ning Dingling bowed slightly.
Chen Jianjun said calmly, "Ding Ling, no need for formalities. What brings you here?"
"My father was concerned about Elder Chen's health, so he specially asked me to send over a century-old ginseng as a token of his gratitude," Ning Dingling said with a light smile.
As he spoke, he took out a ginseng from his Soul Tool and handed it to Chen Xin.
Chen Jianjun said, "Why are you sending gifts again? Didn't I say long ago that I wouldn't accept a reward without merit?"
Ning Dingling smiled and said, "Senior Chen, you've misunderstood."
"As you know, a hundred-year-old ginseng is not considered particularly precious to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School."
"The friendship between our sect and you is the most precious thing. This little thing is just a token of our gratitude."
"I really can't do anything with you guys." Chen Jianjun shook his head helplessly.
The Chen Clan father and son led everyone to sit down in the pavilion.
Chen Xin looked at Yu Mingxiao and said, "Young Sect Master Yu, I agree to join."
Yu Mingxiao laughed and said, "That's wonderful, Brother Chen, you will never regret your decision today."
He felt an indescribable sense of pleasure as he snatched Chen Xin away right in front of the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School.
"Chen Xin, if I may be so bold as to ask, what did you mean by what you just said?" Ning Dingling's heart sank, and a sense of unease welled up within her. She quickly asked.
Chen Xin took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Ding Ling, I'm sorry."
"I know your and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intentions, but I have decided to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I will not be going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and you don't need to worry about my Chen Clan anymore."
"You should take that ginseng back with you."
Ning Dingling felt her brain buzzing, her face filled with disbelief as she stared blankly at Chen Xin.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect began recruiting Chen Jianjun decades ago, but to no avail.
He then befriended Chen Xin, and this relationship lasted for more than ten years. Who would have thought that Yu Mingxiao would suddenly appear and steal Chen Xin away?
