The chapter truly reflects the nature of a villainous family.
"Hahaha, what a ridiculous accusation! Chen Anlin, are you just jealous of me and trying to frame me?" Xiao Chen laughed at the sky, putting on a facade of having seen through everything, while his heart was in turmoil.
He kept shouting in his mind, "Master, what on earth is going on? Why does Chen Anlin know you? Why?"
"Xiao Chen, don’t be anxious. I don’t know either," came the reply from his master.
"What? You don’t know? Master, how could someone as powerful as you not know? You’re not hiding something from me, are you?"
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, thinking that his master had always claimed to be incredibly capable. Why was she so useless this time?
"Xiao Chen, you absolutely cannot admit to anything," the otherworldly fairy advised.
"Of course I won’t admit to anything," Xiao Chen cursed inwardly. "Isn’t that obvious?"
Chen Anlin spoke meaningfully, "You say I’m framing you. Fine, throw me the ring on your finger so I can check it. If there’s truly nothing wrong with it, I won’t touch a single hair on your head."
Xiao Chen’s eyes flickered. Damn it! There’s no way he would actually hand over the ring; doing so would surely reveal something.
"What? Are you afraid?" Chen Anlin sneered.
"Afraid? It’s just that this ring is a treasure; how could I let you see it? I get it now—you’re trying to steal my things!" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and accused.
"But didn’t you say last time that this was just a cheap ring bought from a street vendor? It’s worthless; just let him check it!" Zhao Yao interjected, covering her swollen face.
She was genuinely scared now and didn’t want to engage in any more meaningless conflict.
"He says to check it, so why should I be involved?"
Xiao Chen shot Zhao Yao a glare, thinking how inconsiderate she was at this moment.
"Xiao Chen, the situation is stronger than you. That ring was bought from a street vendor anyway."
"You don’t understand," Xiao Chen shook his head.
Seeing Xiao Chen's demeanor, Zhao Yao realized something and couldn’t help but say, "Could it be that the ring really has something in it?"
"Don’t talk nonsense." For reasons unknown to him, Xiao Chen didn’t want Zhao Yao—who had feelings for him—to know about his secret.
"It seems you’re unwilling to take it out. Everyone can see that there’s definitely something wrong!"
As soon as Chen Anlin finished speaking, Yang Dou made his move.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a surge of black mist erupted from the ring and shot into the sky.
The otherworldly fairy finally took action; the black mist transformed into a giant hand and struck towards Yang Dou.
Boom! Boom!
The shockwaves exploded around them, shattering stones on the ground and causing walls to collapse.
Seeing that his master had temporarily blocked Yang Dou, Xiao Chen felt overjoyed and glared fiercely at Chen Anlin. He pulled out his weapon with determination.
"Chen Anlin, today is your day of reckoning!"
Chen Anlin had already stepped back several paces, positioning a group of his subordinates in front of him.
Seeing a horde of scattered soldiers charging forward, Xiao Chen suddenly revealed a mocking smile: a bunch of trash!
At that moment, two figures on either side sprang into action.
This time, Chen Anlin did not come alone; besides Yang Dou, many from the Eastern Bureau had also arrived, and he had arranged for his parents to wait outside.
As the situation escalated, his parents finally took action.
Before Xiao Chen could react, the Mystic-Grade Treasure in his hand was knocked away.
His eyes widened in shock as he watched his precious item fly out of reach. It was soon picked up by one of Chen Anlin's subordinates and respectfully handed over to Chen Anlin.
"Mystic-Grade Treasure, very nice. Now it's part of the Chen family," Chen Anlin declared.
In this realm, treasures were categorized into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow. A Mystic-Grade Treasure was an extremely valuable item, even for the Chen family.
"Hahaha, son! I didn't expect this guy to really be raising evil spirits!" Chen Anlin's father laughed heartily. His name was Chen Fu, and he was in high spirits.
For too long, his son had been overly honest and a lovesick fool who would only marry Zhao Yao. Now that his son had finally come to his senses, how could he not be pleased?
"Father, Mother, be careful! This guy is cunning and has hidden weapons," Chen Anlin warned.
The beautiful woman beside him was his mother, Li Aijuan. Dressed in a fitted green robe, she nodded slightly and replied, "I understand, son."
In the past, her son had been bullied by the Zhao family. She had also heard about the unclear relationship between Zhao Yao and Xiao Chen. At that time, she had advised her son to find another woman, but he had cried and protested vehemently that he would marry no one but Zhao Yao.
Now that he had finally seen through it all, Li Aijuan felt a sense of relief.
Xiao Chen was now in a state of panic.
He recognized the identities of Li Aijuan and Chen Fu—two notorious figures known as the Black Wind Duo in the capital; they were corrupt officials known for their ruthless methods!
These two had earned their infamous reputation in the past; Li Aijuan excelled at ambushes and poison—an unpredictable threat. Chen Fu practiced wind-based techniques that unleashed powerful gusts.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt his legs weaken as if they had lost all strength.
"Kekekeke," Li Aijuan laughed. "Not only will your legs lose strength quickly, but soon your entire body will too. Blood will flow from your seven orifices—kekekeke!"
Truly worthy of being villains!
Chen Anlin felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth. In the novel, the Black Wind Duo had pursued him relentlessly after discovering that Xiao Chen was responsible for their demise.
It is well known that in novels, the villains often chase after the protagonists, leading to their demise, much like the tale of the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather. To avoid such a situation, Chen Anlin immediately summoned his strongest allies. He even suggested that his mother use her most potent poison powder.
Thud!
Xiao Chen knelt on the ground, his face pale and dripping with sweat. "Why? Why do you powerful elites bully me? What have I done wrong?"
Xiao Chen!
Zhao Yao intended to help Xiao Chen but was pulled back by Zhao Bao. "Yao'er, are you crazy? Xiao Chen is colluding with demons. If you go over there, you'll be implicated too."
Zhao Yao's heart sank, and she lowered her head, afraid to approach.
Xiao Chen felt despair wash over him as he fixed his gaze on Chen Anlin. "Chen Anlin, it's all your fault! You deserve to die!"
"Run!"
At that moment, the foreign fairy swept aside Yang Dou with a flick of her hand and quickly grabbed Xiao Chen, lifting him into the air and fleeing rapidly.
"Where do you think you're going?" Yang Dou struck like lightning, launching a flurry of hidden weapons.
Clang! Clang!
The hidden weapons struck the black mist above with a sound like metal clashing against metal.
"Chen Anlin, thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west! You have bullied me, Xiao Chen. I will remember this. One day, I will personally destroy your Chen family to avenge this humiliation!"
Within the black mist, Xiao Chen's gaze was resolute as he directed a deafening threat at Chen Anlin. In an instant, he vanished from sight.
He actually got away.
Yang Dou slowly landed, her expression grim. This demon was not weaker than her; in fact, it might be even stronger. However, due to its weakened state and lack of physical form, she had managed to suppress it.
Even so, the demon possessed formidable supernatural abilities and had forcibly taken Xiao Chen away through some soul power technique.
She looked at Chen Anlin and was surprised to find that he did not appear shocked at all; instead, he seemed quite calm.
Indeed, Chen Anlin was not surprised in the least. He knew that escaping was a traditional skill of that foreign fairy. Every time Xiao Chen faced a major crisis, she would always use this skill to take him away.
Currently, he had no special means to stop her; all he could do was find ways to suppress Xiao Chen and prevent his rise.
But why did he shout about thirty years in the east? I didn't even call off our engagement.
[ Ding! Forced Xiao Chen to flee in disgrace while being poisoned; gained luck from his misfortune.]
This time, the harvest of fortune was quite substantial. The recent battle made the Zhao family realize that the Chen family was serious about their intentions. They were also afraid of being implicated in the matter of Xiao Chen raising evil spirits, so they dared not say anything further and obediently handed over all the supplies that Chen Anlin had previously provided.
The Azure Light Red Flame Sword. Chen Anlin drew the sword and, upon seeing it, nodded slightly in approval. Zhao Yao's heart ached; this sword originally belonged to her. With this sword, she was certain she could achieve a good ranking in the upcoming academy competition, but now it was gone!
"Father, Mother, let's leave now," Chen Anlin said as he looked up. When they had come here, he had asked his parents if they could take down the Zhao family. Unfortunately, his parents had expressed that while suppression was acceptable, forcing them would likely provoke public opinion in the capital, and His Majesty would punish them.
If chaos erupted in the capital while treacherous ministers held power and the people suffered, there would be uprisings everywhere. The common folk harbored deep resentment towards the Empress; if even the capital fell into disorder, it would be a serious problem. Although they were trusted by the Empress, they could not make her situation more difficult.
"My son is so outstanding, yet you people truly do not know how to appreciate him!" Li Aijuan said coldly as she turned to leave. Chen Anlin tossed the Azure Light Red Flame Sword in his hand and sighed, "This earth-grade sword was originally meant for Zhao Yao; it's truly a pity."
As he spoke, he handed the sword back to his mother. "Mother, I return this sword to you." Some people simply do not recognize value; there's nothing that can be done about it. Li Aijuan smiled slightly and chuckled.
Watching Chen Anlin leave, Zhao Yao felt a chill in her heart as if she had lost something important, her legs feeling weak. A wave of regret surged from within her. "Father, does Xiao Chen still think about him?" Zhao Bao slammed the table and looked at his daughter’s pitiful expression; for some reason, he felt a surge of annoyance towards her.
"Father, why are you yelling at me? Setting aside the facts, does Chen Anlin's family have any faults at all?" After being shouted at by her father, Zhao Yao felt extremely wronged, tears welling up in her eyes.
