Chapter 68: Congratulations
Looking at the huge pit in front of him, Chen Zhutian’s calves were trembling.
If that palm had landed on him just now…
He would probably be dead!
“I am Chen Zhutian, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. May I know who the senior inside is?” he asked in a trembling voice.
First, he declared his identity to prevent the other party from acting recklessly.
But after waiting for a long time, no one inside the house spoke.
Yue Jianli jokes, “Didn’t you say he’s a cowardly soft egg? Why is he suddenly a senior now?”
Chen Zhutian looked embarrassed.
He didn’t expect to encounter such a master in this small village!
He originally wanted to prove his strength to his Junior Sister, but he almost got swatted like a fly.
“Junior Sister, who exactly is in this house?” he couldn’t help but ask.
Judging from the power of that palm, the person inside should at least be at the Nascent Soul stage!
Before Yue Jianli could answer, a male voice sounded again:
“I don’t care about your petty little game, get lost!”
With a thunderous roar, dark clouds gathered above their heads, and the majestic power of heaven and earth descended upon them!
The atmosphere was terrifying!
“Damn!”
Chen Zhutian and the others almost collapsed to the ground.
His shout alone could trigger a Phenomenon, there is a chance that this master was far beyond the Nascent Soul stage, could it be a Tribulation Crossing who had undergone tribulation!
Yue Jianli suppressed her laughter and said, “Senior Brother Chen, you’d better leave quickly. The person inside the house has a bad temper. If you provoke him…”
She intentionally didn’t finish her sentence.
Chen Zhutian was so frightened that his legs went weak, “I, I just remembered that there are some matters in the sect that I need to handle. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.”
After saying that, he tried to leave with his people.
Yue Jianli said, “The senior here is in seclusion, and dislikes being disturbed by others. It’s best for Senior Brother Chen not to spread what happened here.”
“Of course!”
Chen Zhutian nodded repeatedly, “I didn’t see anything today!”
“Very well, goodbye then,” Yue Jianli said.
Chen Zhutian dared not linger and fled with several terrified attendants as if escaping for their lives.
They flew for hundreds of miles before gradually coming to a stop.
“Senior Brother Chen, should we report this to the Sect Master?” one of the attendants asked, panting heavily.
“No! If any of this were to spread, I would need to silence all of you!” Chen Zhutian said sternly.
Are you kidding? If the news about how he fled with his tail between his legs were to spread, where would his face be placed at!?
“But Chief Yue is still over there…” the attendant cautiously pointed out.
“Well, about that…”
Chen Zhutian cleared his throat and said grandly, “As long as we know that Junior Sister is safe, it’s enough, and moreover, she has just gotten marriage,’ it’s only natural for me, as her Senior Brother, to offer my blessings, and leave them to have some alone time together.”
He felt no jealousy about the fact that the girl he want to fuck is married to another man, not when the said man is a Tribulator Crossing expert who could manipulate the phenomena of heaven and earth.
At the same time, he silently vowed in his heart:
From now on, this small village is his forbidden zone, he will never set foot in it again!
The attendants looked disdainful.
So, Chen Zhutian was just a cowardly soft egg…
On the other side,
Yue Jianli walked into the house and saw Li Ran sitting in a chair yawning.
“Aren’t you still injured, would you be alright if you use that much power?”, she asked with concern.
“It’s nothing,” Li Ran shook his head, “I didn’t actually activate my Phenomenon, it’s mostly a bluff, so It didn’t cost me much spiritual power.”
His identity was special, and being seen with Yue Jianli would bring her a lot of trouble.
He couldn’t just go around killing all her Senior Brothers to keep them quiet, could he?
That’s why he used that move.
“But it seems like your Senior Brother has some interest in you?” Li Ran teased.
Yue Jianli shook her head, “But I have no interest in him at all.”
She had no feelings for Chen Zhutian to begin with, and after today’s events, she was even more repelled by him.
“Now that he knows you have a ‘husband’ who is at the Tribulation Crossing stage, he probably won’t even dare to look at you with any lust again in the future,” Li Ran said with a laugh.
Yue Jianli blushed, but upon careful consideration, it seemed to be true.
She couldn’t help but feel relieved.
“Let’s have dinner.”
“Okay.”
“Oh, by the way,” Li Ran looked around, “Where’s Aunt Sun? I saw her just now.”
Yue Jianli suddenly remembered something, “Oh no, Aunt Sun is still outside!”
At that moment, the door suddenly burst open.
Aunt Sun led a large group of villagers rushing in, excitedly exclaiming, “They are the ones!”
Yue Jianli was stunned, “What’s going on…”
Before she could finish her sentence, all the villagers knelt down in unison, their heads knocking against the ground with a thud.
“The commoners pay their respects to the Immortal!”
“We do not know the reason for the Immortal’s visit, but we are guilty!”
“Please forgive us, Immortal!”
Li Ran and Yue Jianli looked at each other helplessly.
“Well, it seems like we won’t be able to have dinner…” they sighed.

— Five Yang City + Xiao Mansion —
Xiao Qingge, looking weary, pushed open the front door.
The Ten Thousand Mountains, the place where she met Li Ran and the Hidden Gauze sect disciple were located in the southern region, a distant journey from Five Yang City. It took her several days relying on the influence of the Xiao Family in various places to make her way back.
As she took a few steps inside, she ran into the Xiao Mansion steward, Fu Bo.
“Miss Qingge!? What took you so long to go back!?” Fu Bo exclaimed in surprise.
“I had some urgent matters to attend to. Why is no one here in the mansion? What happened?” Xiao Qingge asked.
Fu Bo hesitated.
Under her continuous questioning, he finally spoke in a low voice:
“The Li family has come to call off the marriage!”
