This sight was quite something; Jun Hongzhao was also captivated. What a young patriarch! Completely different from what she had imagined!!!
Especially this scene, where a powerful expert at the Peak Saint Realm is suppressed with a single hand!
She gave Chen Gongting a confused look, but Chen Gongting completely ignored her and stared at the young figure.
"Young Master?" I almost doubted my eyes.
Jun Hongzhao???
Prince Chen was thrown around in a daze, dust billowing everywhere, and he was knocked down before he could even react!
A dignified Saint Realm expert so fragile and vulnerable. The royal family's dignity was instantly trampled upon! Their previous high spirits were now completely reversed.
He struggled to hold up the imperial edict with only one hand, clinging to his last shred of defiance.
Upon hearing the question, he roared, "I am the Prince Chen of Great Xia! I have come by imperial decree! How dare you!"
He came with an imperial decree! He thought the newly born Great Emperor wasn't that powerful, and that with his veteran Peak Saint Realm cultivation, he could put up a fight.
However, the truth is, there was absolutely no room for resistance! He was even beginning to doubt whether the other party was a newly born Great Emperor!
The scene unfolded suddenly and unexpectedly, catching the Chen Lineage members off guard. It was only then that they came to their senses.
Everyone looked up at the young man's figure above them. The Great Emperor... the Ancestor???
They couldn't care less about Prince Chen or the imperial edict; they hadn't even figured out what was going on with their own people.
Chen Fan looked down at Prince Chen with a cold expression.
"No matter who you are, flying above my Chen Lineage's territory is a capital offense!"
With the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty, it certainly had the right to intimidate him, but not much.
Then, he pressed down with a single palm strike. At this level, there's no need for fancy moves; simple, straightforward attacks are the most effective.
Everyone stared at the unstoppable palm print, which seemed ordinary, yet felt as if their very souls were about to be shattered, and their eyelids twitched.
Prince Chen was terrified. Once locked on, he was completely unable to move an inch. His face turned deathly pale instantly, as if he were in an ice cellar.
And this patriarch of the Chen Lineage looks so young, yet he kills people at the slightest provocation; his rebellious nature is extraordinary!
At the same time, he roared, " Chen Gongting!"
Your turn! Hurry up and say something!
Persuade him! He still has time to explain the imperial edict; don't worry about that now, saving your life is the priority.
However...
thump.
"Young Master, it's me, Chen Gongting, who's back." Chen Gongting was also dumbfounded. What was going on? Where was the Great Emperor Ancestor? Why was it the Great Emperor Young Master?
As for the task given to him by the Emperor of Great Xia, he had long forgotten about it and couldn't remember it.
Prince Chen was stunned, then so angry that he vomited blood. In his final moments, he looked at Chen Gongting in disbelief!
There's a mole!
His Majesty instructed him to use any means necessary, including coercion and bribery, to subdue the Chen Lineage patriarch and bring him into submission. He was well-prepared and full of confidence!
However, in reality, they barely exchanged a few words...
There's also a minister who ruins his team!
boom.
The next moment, a super strong person at the Peak Saint Realm, a king who was unapproachable in the eyes of ordinary people, instantly fell into dust and ceased to exist.
Everyone gasped in shock. The royal family and nobles of the Great Xia Imperial Clan were wiped out just like that... My Chen Lineage is mighty!
Meanwhile, the accompanying royal guards were completely disoriented. What happened? We haven't even seen it yet!
Jun Hongzhao was stunned. So strong! This was definitely not an ordinary Great Emperor. He could easily annihilate Peak Saint Realm expert... Logically speaking, Prince Chen should at least be able to put up a fight against someone who had just broken through to the Great Emperor.
Chen Fan didn't take it seriously. An imperial edict? What does it have to do with me? Lü Bu was right when he said, "A true man should live Shijian, not linger in the shadows!"
Then I looked at Chen Gongting, and I knew it!
"Second Elder?"
"It's me, young master." Chen Gongting was in tears, not daring to act like an elder at all.
"Welcome, Hui people." Chen Fan smiled.
It's safe now.
The return of the Chen Lineage's management is a good thing. As for their character, he can see right through them at a glance.
The disciples watching suddenly realized, "Oh, it's one of our own people again! This gives us such a strong sense of security!"
"Young Master, I've brought someone back for you." Chen Gongting quickly accepted reality, not bothering to ask any questions, and gestured to Jun Hongzhao over there.
Chen Fan casually glanced over and saw that the woman was dressed as an ordinary maid, but he sensed something extraordinary about her. There was something she couldn't hide, something extremely mysterious.
"Second Elder, what is the meaning of this?"
"Young Master, she is the young Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, the future mother of the nation." Chen Gongting said with a slightly subtle smile.
It's unclear how Prince Chen felt, but he was certainly in a good mood. With Great Emperor emerging from the Chen Lineage, there was no need to return to the royal court...
Seeing Chen Gongting talking to Chen Fan and glancing over here from time to time, Jun Hongzhao showed no shyness and stared straight at Chen Fan.
You're telling me this is the Great Emperor Ancestor?
"Little Empress!" This move caught Chen Fan completely off guard!
You've managed to join the royal family and even accompany a king, so your status must be quite high. But to bring the empress back with you is going too far.
Chen Gongting nodded. "That's right. Her name is Jun Hongzhao, and she is a daughter of the Jun Lineage..."
" The Ancient Jun Lineage." Chen Fan was thinking. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, geographically, his Chen Lineage would not have any conflicts of interest with other ancient aristocratic families.
However, there is also competition for resources and opportunities among top powers, as well as contests among prodigies, but these are all things to be discussed later.
And this Jun Lineage must certainly be from a prestigious family.
"Young Master, I hope you can keep her by your side to serve you," Chen Gongting quickly reminded him.
This is also why he brought Jun Hongzhao back. Originally, it was meant for the Great Emperor Ancestor, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the young master! That makes their relationship even better; they're both young and a perfect match.
I'm determined to be the matchmaker!
"Why?" Chen Fan knew very well that keeping the Great Xia Emperor's woman, especially the young empress, was tantamount to dancing in the face of the royal family, not to mention that she was a Jun Lineage, which would only cause more and more trouble.
... Although relations with the Great Xia Dynasty would only deteriorate, he was happy about it and had no fear of clashing with the Jun Lineage. But he still needed to get to the bottom of things.
Chen Gongting mysteriously, "Young Master, she..." His voice trailed off.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's spirits lifted!
Chen Gongting quickly waved and called Jun Hongzhao over.
Jun Hongzhao nodded slightly, a hint of shyness in her eyes, and bowed, saying, "This humble woman Jun Hongzhao, greets young master."
His demeanor was poised and comfortable, displaying a refined and dignified air.
I don't know why the old ancestor has become the young master, but just call him Chen Gongting.
However, looking at it this way, the geniuses and chosen ones of the Jun Lineage are like fireflies vying for the moon's brilliance...
Chen Fan must not be very old!
Chen Fan hummed in agreement. He understood the principle that no one gets up early for nothing, so it was worthwhile.
"Miss Jun, would you be willing to stay in my Chen Lineage?"
Jun Hongzhao immediately knelt down, her jade-like hands level with her chest, "Young Master, Hongzhao is willing."
Staying by the side of a Great Emperor's young master guarantees endless glory!
Chen Gongting smiled; young people are just so easy to talk to.
That's settled then.
Jun Hongzhao stayed with the Chen Lineage.
Before Chen Fan could even begin to study her, his mother summoned him.
"Mother, what is it?"
Yang Lingqing appeared somewhat serious, " Fan'er, it's time to tell you about the deal your father made with Great Emperor Xuanji..."
