The news that a Dou Zong expert had arrived in the Imperial Capital quickly spread throughout the entire city.
After all, Chen Yang didn't hide his actions when he moved. There were a large number of imperial soldiers on duty on the grand city walls of the Imperial Capital. They even saw their own Royal Old Ancestor being pressed to the ground by the Aura of that young Dou Zong expert. However, this news was currently only circulating among some major families or big figures in the city!
...After Xiao Yan left, Chen Yang casually pulled Qing Lin into his arms. Qing Lin let out a small cry of surprise in fright, then looked somewhat timidly toward the main house. In her view, she was just a small maid; such behavior was seducing the head of the house and would lead to being kicked out by the Mistress.
"Young Master, don't..." Qing Lin was a little afraid.
"Don't what..." At this moment, Chen Yang acted a bit like a playboy. Could a Young Master who didn't tease his maid still be called a Young Master?
"Young Master is bad!" Seeing Chen Yang staring at her with a wicked smile, Qing Lin shyly buried her head in Chen Yang's chest, greedily sniffing the scent on his body. It was a scent that made her feel incredibly at ease.
"Hahaha..." Chen Yang let out a hearty laugh, drawing Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian out from the main house where they were making his bed.
The two women saw this scene after coming out and exchanged helpless glances, then walked toward Chen Yang hand-in-hand. Hearing the sound behind her, Qing Lin struggled out of Chen Yang's arms and stood beside him with her head lowered, her timid eyes stealing glances at Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei, for fear that the two would blame her—though she knew they wouldn't.
"Brother Chen Yang, are you learning from those playboys in the Imperial Capital to tease your own little maid?" Ya Fei chuckled, covering her mouth, every movement and smile exuding charm.
"What do you mean 'learning'? This Young Master was originally the biggest playboy on the Fighting Qi Continent!" If he was going to act, he had to act the part. Although he was currently just a small Dou Zong, in a while, he would be a clan unto himself. At that time, which Ancient Family on the Fighting Qi Continent wouldn't have to give Emperor Yang Face?
"Yes, yes, yes..." Ya Fei walked behind Chen Yang, placing her soft hands on his shoulders and massaging them, just as Chen Yang had massaged her shoulders back in Wutan City.
"I haven't congratulated my husband on advancing to Dou Zong and becoming a Sixth-Rank Alchemist yet." Xiao Yi Xian sat opposite Chen Yang, resting her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes smiling as she looked at him.
"We're all Family, why say such things? You haven't slacked in your Cultivation lately; it seems you've been doing quite well in the Imperial Capital." Chen Yang reached up to place his hand on Ya Fei's hand on his shoulder while speaking to Xiao Yi Xian.
"I intentionally slowed down my progress, otherwise I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hold out until you took me to find the Netherworld Poison Flame before breaking through to Dou Huang!" Xiao Yi Xian explained.
The Heavenly Poison Nether Art could delay the first eruption of the Calamity Poison Body until the Dou Huang level. In the original plot, after Xiao Yi Xian left Qingshan Town, her Calamity Poison Body erupted once, killing several kind-hearted people. It was also because of that time that her jet-black hair turned white.
Now, Xiao Yi Xian felt more and more that her progress was rapid from devouring poisons, so she was restraining herself to let her cultivation progress more slowly.
"It's fine..." Chen Yang reached out his other hand and held Xiao Yi Xian's hand on the stone table to comfort her. "Once Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement is over, I'll take you to the Izumo Empire."
These days, Chen Yang also had ideas about the source of spirit absorption. He guessed that Gu He should have spirit absorption; otherwise, he wouldn't go after Heavenly Flames. If he got a Heavenly Flame but had no spirit absorption, how could he devour it?
When he went up to the Cloud Mist Sect later, the System would naturally trigger a mechanism to give him a higher-grade spirit absorption, or he could make an exchange with Gu He.
So, once the Cloud Mist Sect matter was concluded, he could take a trip to the Izumo Empire.
"Mhm!"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded with eyes full of love... Just as Chen Yang flew back to the Imperial Capital and solved these troubles in short order, Yun Yun was rushing back with Nalan Yanran.
In the afternoon, the two arrived at the foot of the Cloud Mist Sect mountain.
"Teacher, I want to go home to see my grandfather," Nalan Yanran suddenly said.
"Then, Teacher will accompany you!" Yun Yun knew Chen Yang had also arrived in the Imperial Capital and knew his other confidantes were there. She didn't want to disturb their reunion, but she couldn't help herself.
Clearly... clearly she could have had one more Riding session with Chen Yang before separating. These hateful Dou Huang experts from other Empires... "Great, great!" Nalan Yanran didn't know her teacher's little thoughts. She was thinking that with Yun Yun coming back with her, she would get scolded less.
She still didn't know how to tell her Family that Xiao Yan was already a Third-Grade Alchemist and a Three-Star Dou Ling expert!
The relationship between the Cloud Mist Sect and the Imperial Capital was very delicate. The news of Yun Yun entering the city quickly reached Jia Xingtian's ears.
However, at this time, Jia Xingtian was searching for treasures in his royal treasury. To apologize to a Dou Zong expert, the man likely wouldn't be interested in ordinary items.
"Sigh... how did it..." Jia Xingtian wanted to give himself two slaps. Yao Ye, who was reporting the news nearby, watched her great-grandfather sighing in regret and didn't know what to say. After all, the old-timer had offended a Dou Zong expert, and there wasn't a single Dou Zong in the entire Jia Ma Empire right now!
"Great-grandfather, then I will take my leave!" Yao Ye said to Jia Xingtian and was about to leave.
