Chen Xiao also walked up to Xuan Daozi and said, "Should we leave now? I’m exhausted."

Xuan Daozi winked and smirked, "That act I put on earlier wasn’t too shabby, right?"

Chen Xiao was speechless, "Stop making that sleazy face. The wise master image you worked so hard to create is completely ruined. Everyone’s watching."

Indeed, upon hearing this, Xuan Daozi immediately reverted to his sage-like demeanor, hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Let’s go."

The group hurriedly left the Soldier Inspection Field.

Everyone could only watch them leave in astonishment.

On the way, Luo Qingli couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Master, how did you know Chen Xiao was in danger? Have you been secretly protecting us all along?"

"Pretty much. Earlier, Cold Girl knew a few Grandmasters were among them and has been on guard," Xuan Daozi sighed, "This kid is so hopeless, hasn’t broken through to the Grandmaster Realm yet after all this time, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to intervene!"

"It’s absurd for me to have to personally deal with those three, like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

Zhang Yaqing smirked, "Master, you’re right; dealing with them is like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. But what can we do, no one else has your skills. To others, they seem like tigers, but in front of you, they’re just chicks!"

Xuan Daozi found this flattery very pleasing, the more he saw this girl, the more agreeable she seemed.

She’s indeed the woman my disciple fancies—what a sweet talker.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to enter the Dragon Vein?" Chen Xiao also asked.

"Soon," Xuan Daozi replied casually, "Luckily, I haven’t entered the Dragon Vein yet, otherwise you’d be in trouble. Even if those guys couldn’t settle you at the Soldier Inspection Field, they would try to completely wipe you out."

"That’s why I chose to eliminate them all, to prevent any future troubles."

Only Zhao Xingyu stared at Xuan Daozi dumbfounded, utterly astonished inside.

She didn’t expect this old man to be so powerful.

In the secular world, nature’s spiritual energy is very weak; reaching the Grandmaster Realm is already quite impressive, yet this old man could easily kill Grandmaster Level experts!

Such strength would even be considered strong in the Kunlun Realm.

The most terrifying part was that even with her experience, she couldn’t gauge how powerful Xuan Daozi was!

Finally, she timidly asked, "Senior, are you now in the Transcendent Middle Stage?"

Grandmasters are also referred to as the Transcendent Realm in Kunlun.

In the secular world, most Grandmasters are early Transcendent Realm Martial Artists because nature’s spiritual energy is thin, making it extremely difficult to break through to the Transcendent Middle Stage.

And Zhao Xingyu speculated that Xuan Daozi should be a strong Transcendent Middle Stage expert.

Xuan Daozi simply gave her a faint smile without replying.

However, Zhao Xingyu saw from his eyes that Xuan Daozi disregarded the Transcendent Middle Stage!

This made her even more frightened deep inside.

The difficulty of cultivating to the Transcendent Middle Stage in the secular world is no less than achieving the legendary Heavenly Realm in the Kunlun Realm! Could it be that this old man’s strength is far beyond that?

Chen Xiao said calmly to Zhao Xingyu, "Don’t bother trying to figure out his strength. Even we disciples don’t know how deeply he hides his abilities!"

"Little girl," Xuan Daozi said calmly to Zhao Xingyu, "Broaden your perspective; while the Transcendent Middle Stage is somewhat difficult, it’s quite easy for someone like me."

Zhao Xingyu blinked and asked, "Senior, do you also know about the Dragon Vein about to open?"

"I know more than you do," Xuan Daozi replied casually.

"Then tell me, I’m very curious about what the Divine Continent Dragon Vein really is," Zhao Xingyu said with curiosity.

She knew there were disturbances in Kunlun due to the Dragon Vein opening, and even a large number of Kunlun Realm Martial Artists were secretly preparing to enter the secular world.

She was curious why a mere Dragon Vein could cause such a big commotion in Kunlun!

"I can’t say," Xuan Daozi chuckled, "You’re not one of us yet."

"You can treat me as one of yours," Zhao Xingyu could only soften her voice and act playful.

"Only my disciples and disciples’ spouses are considered one of us. Do you want to be my disciple’s spouse?" Xuan Daozi laughed.

"Pfft, who would fancy him!" Zhao Xingyu glanced at Chen Xiao, her face a bit flushed.

This guy is just a libertine, a playboy; she doesn’t care for him at all!

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao also scoffed, "Old man, don’t mess around matchmaking. I’m not interested in Princess Taiping."

"You——" Zhao Xingyu raised her eyebrows, "Chen Xiao, just wait; if I step into the Grandmaster Realm before you, I’ll show you how it’s done!"

"Don’t worry; that possibility won’t exist in this lifetime!" Chen Xiao sneered.

Even the usually silent Leng Baiyu opened his mouth, "Elder Mo has used his connections to get the Heroic Invitation. In a couple of days, we can head to Yin Country and directly to the Buddha Ancient Temple."

"I’ll see Elder Mo tomorrow and get the Heroic Invitation for you."

"Alright." Chen Xiao nodded.

Xuan Daozi sighed, "Cold Girl, you really only have eyes for your little junior brother, right? Am I just a tool to you? Working tirelessly without even a word of thanks."

He looked quite hurt.

Leng Baiyu replied coolly, "A capable person should work more; apart from you, I don’t know who else to invite, you’re the only one with that ability."

"Those words have a bit of heart." Rarely praised by his eldest disciple, Xuan Daozi was satisfied.

The car returned to the villa where Chen Xiao and the others were staying.

Xuan Daozi chose not to live with these young people, saying that he was about to enter the Dragon Vein and needed to take the opportunity to have a long talk with his old flame.

Leng Baiyu chose to stay.

"We should buy some wine and such to celebrate," Zhang Yaqing proposed, "It’s definitely a day worth celebrating!"

"I support it!" Lu Wushuang immediately agreed.

Luo Qingli and the others naturally didn’t oppose.

The group enthusiastically began shopping for supplies.

Chen Xiao also smiled, letting them have fun; he didn’t want to disturb their enjoyment.

"We should invite the third sister," Luo Qingli suggested, "This celebration wouldn’t be complete without her."

Upon receiving the invitation, Lu Rugao reluctantly came.

Her face was full of discontent.

Yet her attire was unusually sophisticated, exuding a polished vibe from head to toe.

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, noticing the traces of black silk under her jeans.

From his experience——

It looked like fishnet stockings.

He sighed inwardly; it seemed she had come prepared!

Not only was there a battle during the Hundred Countries Military Battle today, but also a banquet to rush into tonight—what a tiring day. He must seize this opportunity to make some demands, or his outstanding performance would go to waste!

Even the usually sober Leng Baiyu had a few more drinks than usual, clearly enjoying the occasion.

She indulged in that slightly tipsy feeling, her mood lightening considerably.

Deep into the night, Luo Qingli, Zhang Yaqing, and Lu Rugao were having a heartfelt talk. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Before long, Chen Xiao also came, but he brought someone with him.

Xu Yanran.

Luo Qingli stared blankly at Xu Yanran, "Aunt Xu, you..."

She didn’t expect Chen Xiao to bring Xu Yanran along.

Xu Yanran’s face showed a trace of embarrassment, unsure how to face everyone, especially Luo Qingli.

Chen Xiao cleared his throat, "Let’s discuss other matters later. Now, it’s time to talk business."
