Shi Haotian: This Is My Daughter, Shi Ziyue. I Hope She Can Receive Your Personal Guidance

Chen Xuan's oppressive presence was simply too overwhelming for Xuan Su.

It was even more terrifying than City Lord Shi Haotian!

Wait!

They?

What did that mean?

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Soon, someone knocked on the private room door.

Overjoyed, Xuan Su hurriedly opened it.

Yet the figure before her made her freeze. "City... City Lord Shi, why are you here?"

"Is Steward Su not welcoming me?"

Shi Haotian smiled outside the door, but his gaze swiftly swept into the private room.

As though searching for someone.

"Of course not."

Xuan Su shook her head and quickly came up with a way to discourage him. "It's just that today, we're... we're having a family dinner. It wouldn't be convenient."

A family dinner?

Who were you trying to fool?

Ignoring her entirely, Shi Haotian clasped his hands toward the room and said, "I am Shi Haotian, Flame City Lord. Forgive my intrusion, sir."

Chen Xuan waved a hand. "Perfect timing. Come in and talk."

"Good, good, good."

Shi Haotian was delighted. He cast Xuan Su a smug glance before walking inside.

However, a graceful figure followed behind him.

The woman was tall and slender, dressed in a purple gown. Her skin was like snow, her willow-leaf brows delicate, and her face oval.

With rosy cherry lips and exquisite features,

she was truly a beauty of unrivaled grace!

Yet her icy pretty face clearly warned strangers to stay away.

She was Shi Haotian's daughter, Shi Ziyue.

A genuine Two-Seal Symbol Master!

Seeing her father, a dignified Form Creation Realm expert, act so politely toward such a young man left her deeply confused.

The two had just taken their seats.

Before Shi Haotian could speak,

Xia Wan Jin arrived late.

Only after repeatedly apologizing did he enter the private room.

Once everyone had arrived,

Chen Xuan looked at Xia Wan Jin and Shi Haotian and got straight to the point. "I have a task for the two of you. Keep watch over the Lin Family in Qingyang Town. Lin Qingtan must not be allowed to leave!"

"Huh?"

Both men were stunned.

They both knew that Lin Qingtan was Lin Dong's younger sister.

They both knew Lin Dong.

Wouldn't monitoring the Lin Family be the same as betraying him?

Just as they hesitated,

Chen Xuan took out two pills brimming with spiritual energy. "Once the task is complete, these two pills will be yours!"

"Those are Origin Nurturing Pills!" Shi Haotian had sharp eyes and recognized them at once.

Xia Wan Jin's expression changed dramatically. "What? Th-these are the Origin Nurturing Pills that can let someone break through to the Form Creation Realm without any obstacles in a short time?"

Shi Haotian nodded.

Everyone present was stunned.

Who was this man?

Wasn't he being far too generous?

At an auction, an Origin Nurturing Pill could fetch tens of thousands of Yang Yuan Pills!

Then,

Chen Xuan reminded them, "If you fail to complete the task, you can deal with the consequences yourselves."

At the same time, he revealed his cultivation.

The terrifying pressure made everyone present feel as though they faced a formidable enemy, drenched in sweat.

Xuan Su, Xia Zhilan, and Shi Ziyue were too weak. They were directly forced to their knees!

They could only brace themselves against the ground with both hands and struggle to endure.

Ding. Xuan Su has experienced shock + fear. Emotion Points +100

Ding. Xia Zhilan has experienced astonishment + panic. Emotion Points +100

Ding. Shi Ziyue has experienced astonishment + terror. Emotion Points +100

The three women were so thoroughly suppressed by Chen Xuan's aura

that they did not dare raise their heads.

Especially Shi Ziyue. When she had first learned that her father wanted to bring her to meet a young expert,

she had been resistant.

No matter how strong he was, could he possibly be stronger than Lin Dong, who had fought her father to a draw?

But the situation before her reminded her

that she had been wrong.

Terribly, utterly wrong.

The aura of the man before her had even left her father sweating under the pressure.

What level of strength was this?

Qi Creation Realm?

Creation Realm?

Or something even more terrifying?

She could not imagine it.

After hearing Chen Xuan's words,

Shi Haotian and Xia Wan Jin bowed at the same time.

"Please rest assured, Senior. The two of us will certainly do everything in our power to complete this matter."

The two were quite helpless as well.

There was no helping it.

Every man for himself, or heaven and earth would destroy him.

Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "All right, go back and make the arrangements."

"Yes."

The two were extremely tactful and bowed deeply.

They looked as though they would follow his lead in everything.

Back then, Xia Wan Jin had solemnly promised Lin Dong

that as long as the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Association remained in Yan City,

it would be the Lin Family's staunchest ally.

How many days had it been?

And now he had turned around and sold them out.

How ironic!

"Senior, this is my daughter, Shi Ziyue. She has always wished to become strong. Today, she is fortunate enough to meet you. I hope she can receive your personal guidance.

"Of course, if you do not mind, you may also keep her by your side, so that she may serve you."

Before leaving,

Shi Haotian pulled Shi Ziyue over to Chen Xuan.

His attitude was incomparably respectful.

"Father! You..."

Upon hearing Shi Haotian's words, a faint mist rose in Shi Ziyue's eyes.

She looked at Shi Haotian in disbelief.

She thought she had heard wrong.

How could the father who loved her most say something like that?

Before this, she had always been Shi Haotian's cherished jewel, Yan City's little princess.

At such a young age, she was already a Two-Seal Symbol Master.

Her future achievements

were boundless.

Yet now, he was personally giving her

to this young man as a maid.

For a moment, she found it somewhat hard to accept.

Yet she could also hear

Shi Haotian's fear of this young man.

"Damn you, Shi Haotian. To win over an expert, you're even willing to give up your precious daughter!"

Seeing Shi Haotian's actions,

Xia Wan Jin clenched his fists until they were rock-hard.

It was true that Shi Haotian had a daughter.

But did he forget that Xia Wan Jin not only had a daughter, but also a sister-in-law?

What did Shi Haotian have to compete with him?

Thus, Xia Wan Jin stepped forward as well. "Senior, these two are my daughter, Zhilan, and my younger sister-in-law, Xuan Su. I also hope they can receive your personal guidance."

Shi Haotian frowned. "??"

Damn you, Xia Wan Jin.

Giving up your daughter was one thing.

You were giving away your sister-in-law too?

At that moment, he only hated that he had too few daughters and his wife had too few sisters.

Otherwise, he could have surpassed Xia Wan Jin.

"Fine. You can leave first. I will naturally guide their cultivation."

Chen Xuan naturally understood their intentions and nodded in agreement.

Seeing Chen Xuan agree,

Shi Haotian and Xia Wan Jin's faces filled with uncontrollable delight.

Before leaving,

Shi Haotian instructed, "Yue'er, don't let his youth fool you. I have a feeling that his strength is unimaginably terrifying. He may even be able to help us become one of the Great Yan Dynasty's foremost families."

"Father, don't worry. I know what to do."

The tears in Shi Ziyue's eyes gradually faded away.

All that remained was a resolute gaze.

At the side, Xia Wan Jin was also instructing Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan.

He told them

that Chen Xuan's strength was unfathomable.

They had to receive him properly

and could not disobey his wishes.

Otherwise, the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Association would vanish from Yan City entirely.

The two women nodded.

After Shi Haotian and Xia Wan Jin left,

the three women exchanged glances.

Then, they moved together to sit near Chen Xuan.

They poured wine and served him food with great enthusiasm.

Chen Xuan, who had initially received cold treatment from Xia Zhilan and Shi Ziyue, found it somewhat hard to get used to.
