Chapter 6102 This child is interesting
…
After leaving the side room, Chen Wanqing did not return to her own bedroom, but instead headed straight to the deepest part of the Chen residence.
After passing through several courtyards, he arrived at a magnificent hall. Above the entrance to the hall hung a plaque with three large letters: “Hall of Council Affairs.”
Eight guards stood on either side of the palace gate, all of whom were at the sixth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
When they saw Chen Wanqing approaching, they all bowed and saluted him.
“Missing.”
Chen Wanqing nodded slightly and pushed the door open to enter.
The main hall was brightly lit, and in the center seat sat an elderly man with gray hair at his temples.
The old man had a dignified face, his eyes flashed a sharp light as they opened and closed, and his aura was as deep as the ocean; he was clearly a powerful expert in the True Immortal Realm.
This man was none other than Chen Tiangang, the head of the Chen family and Chen Wanqing’s father.
On the rosewood chairs on either side sat six elderly men, all elders of the Chen family. Each of them possessed a profound aura, and the lowest cultivation level among them was at least at the ninth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
As soon as Chen Wanqing entered, all eyes were on her.
Chen Tiangang nodded slightly: “Wanqing, how is the marriage proposal progressing?”
Chen Wanqing walked into the hall, bowed to her father and the elders, then slowly said:
“Father, the marriage proposal has been decided.”
The elders became excited again.
Who is he?
A red-faced elder asked impatiently, “Is that Wu Lingyun from the Wu family?”
Chen Wanqing shook her head: “No.”
“NO?”
The red-faced elder was shocked. “That Wu Lingyun is a Rank Nine God, and he also possesses the Crimson Gold Bloodline. No one in Yunxian City’s younger generation can match him. Besides him, who else can pass the Four Pillars Trial?”
Chen Wanqing took a deep breath and said, word by word:
“The man’s name is David.”
“David?”
Another white-haired elder frowned. “This name… I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before.”
Chen Wanqing nodded: “Elder, your memory is good. This person is David, the temple fugitive who destroyed the Tongtian Pass, killed His Majesty the Great, and caused chaos on the Holy Mountain.”
Those words shocked everyone in the hall.
“What?!”
“There he is?!”
“The David who offered a reward of 50,000 bottles of the elixir of immortality?!”
The elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with concern.
The red-faced elder suddenly stood up and said hurriedly, “Wanqing, you idiot! This person is wanted by the temple. You brought him to the Chen family; aren’t you just inviting trouble?!”
Chen Wanqing remained calm and slowly said:
“Elder, please don’t worry. It’s precisely because he’s a fugitive from the temple that our Chen family needs him most.”
The elders were shocked.
Chen Wanqing continued, “Do all the elders still remember who we are looking for?”
The white-haired elder pondered: “A person who possesses the bloodline of the dragon race…”
He suddenly widened his eyes: “You mean…”
Chen Wanqing nodded, enunciating each word clearly:
“David has the Golden Dragon bloodline, which is the imperial bloodline among the dragons.”
The hall immediately fell silent.
The atmosphere was very quiet.
After a long silence, Chen Tiangang slowly spoke:
“Wanqing, are you sure?”
Chen Wanqing nodded solemnly: “My daughter saw it with her own eyes. While she was testing her bloodline, a five-clawed golden dragon appeared behind her, and its roar shook the heavens and shattered the stone pillars of the testing ground.”
He paused for a moment, then added, “Moreover, he passed the Four Pillars of Destiny test and the self-control test, and his results far surpassed Wu Lingyun’s.”
The elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The red-faced elder muttered, “Golden Dragon Bloodline… that is the legendary supreme bloodline…”
The white-haired elder was also excited: “If he can really enter the Dragon Pool, then my Chen family’s plans…”
Chen Tiangang raised his hand, stopping the crowd’s discussion.
He looked at Chen Wanqing and said in a deep voice, “Wanqing, is he willing to cooperate with us?”
Chen Wanqing nodded, “My daughter has reached an agreement with him. He’s willing to help us enter the Dragon Pool on the condition that we protect him and help him resist the temple’s pursuit. After this matter is resolved, we will also send him away from Yunxian City to the Holy Land of Light.”
Chen Tiangang was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded:
“The conditions are reasonable. As long as he can enter the Dragon Pool, none of this will be a problem.”
He looked at the elders and asked, “What do you all think?”
The red-faced elder pondered, “Patriarch, protecting David is tantamount to making an enemy of the Temple. Although my Chen family has influence in Yunxian City, if the Temple launches a large-scale attack…”
Chen Tiangang said calmly, “Although the Temple is powerful, they still have to consider the restrictions imposed by the Divine Hall and the Divine Palace. Furthermore, the Temple no longer has much control over Yun City. If they wanted to launch a large-scale invasion, they wouldn’t have a legitimate reason to do so.”
The white-haired elder nodded: “What the patriarch said is absolutely correct. The temple’s current focus is on repairing the destroyed sacred mountain altar, and it probably doesn’t have the spare capacity to launch a major attack on Yunxian City.”
Another elder said, “If we can enter the Dragon Pool and obtain the Dragon Clan’s treasure, our Chen family’s strength will increase greatly. At that time, even if the Temple comes to cause trouble, we might still have a chance to fight back.”
The elders all nodded in agreement.
Chen Tiangang looked at Chen Wanqing, his eyes filled with approval:
“Wanqing, you handled this matter well. Where is David now?”
Chen Wanqing said, “My daughter has placed him in the guesthouse and will take him to Longtan tomorrow morning.”
Chen Tiangang nodded: “Alright. Tomorrow, I will lead a group to escort you there.”
He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the elders:
“Relay this order: effective immediately, the Chen residence is on high alert. Everyone is to increase patrols and be wary of any temple spies infiltrating. If anyone suspicious is found, arrest them immediately!”
“Yes!”
The elders answered in unison.
Chen Wanqing bowed slightly: “Father, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”
Chen Tiangang nodded: “Go ahead. Get some rest. Tomorrow’s matters are very important.”
Chen Wanqing turned around and walked out of the hall.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chen Tiangang:
“Dad, David is… very attractive.”
Chen Tiangang raised his eyebrows: “Oh?”
Chen Wanqing’s lips curled up slightly: “My daughter just said that she was willing to protect him on the condition that he help her enter the Dragon Pool. He agreed, then asked my daughter if, since they were already partners, they could take care of the dual cultivation tonight.”
Chen Tiangang terkejut.
The elders were also shocked.
The elder whose face was red almost choked on his saliva.
Chen Wanqing smiled and said, “Of course my daughter refused. Then she said, ‘Then I’ll take a million bottles of the elixir of immortality.’”
“One million?!” exclaimed the elder whose face was red.
Chen Wanqing nodded: “It surprised my daughter. Then she said it was just a joke.”
He paused for a moment, then smiled wider: “This guy… has a very strong mentality, but surprisingly… he’s not annoying.”
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the crowd in the hall looking at each other in confusion.
Chen Tiangang stared blankly at his daughter’s departing figure for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
“This kid is… interesting.”
