Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 108 - 107 Mansion Master Youlan

Five people traveling together!

Just thinking about this scene is a bit exciting.

However... Brother Xuan, still righteous, reprimanded, "Nonsense, this way I would become a depraved and indulgent person!"

"Pfft!"

Pei Yuenan spat disdainfully at him.

How could she not know what Chen Xuan was thinking? Still pretending!

No shame!

....

In the blink of an eye, July arrived, and the weather began to heat up.

The Government Office of the East District Divine Capture Bureau.

Chen Xuan, in the midst of cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.

Huff.....

His gaze fell on the panel before him.

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Fourth Grade (Blood Replacement 70%), Spirit Cultivator: Seventh Level]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Zhen Realm (4506/48000)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (First Layer (588/8000))]

[Skill Points: 40162]

During this time, the Youlan Mansion was calm, and Chen Xuan could finally focus entirely on cultivation.

It’s almost there! Just a few more days, and the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique can be upgraded.

However, the progress of the Myriad Manifestation Skill is still too slow, even with the support of flawless masteries, it’s only increased by less than 600 points these days.

Too slow.

It seems that as Zhuge Potian said, being a Spirit Cultivator really requires talent.

But what frustrates him the most is that after the successful evolution of the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique, several subsequent attempts all failed.

This probability.... is outrageously low.

He closed the panel and looked at the red invitation letter on the table.

It was sent by Youlan Mansion yesterday.

"Knock knock knock...."

A series of rhythmic knocks pulled his thoughts back.

"Come in."

With a creak, Qin Gang walked in with a grin.

Holding a porcelain bowl in both hands, he said diligently, "Hehe, chief, I had someone make iced lotus seed soup. It’s hot, so I brought you a bowl to cool off!"

Saying this, he respectfully offered the bowl of lotus seed soup.

"You brat!" Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled.

But still, he took it and drank it all at once.

Instantly, he felt much cooler.

And Qin Gang immediately took the empty bowl back.

With the Youlan Association’s day approaching, Qin Gang has become increasingly diligent.

Bringing various foods, changing them up, and sending them in.

This made Chen Xuan feel that if he didn’t give him an Immortal Spirit Date then, it wouldn’t be right.

"Chief, is this the invitation to the Youlan Association?"

"Yeah!"

"Can I take a look?"

Chen Xuan handed the invitation to him.

Qin Gang looked at it with envy and carefully opened the invitation, afraid of damaging it.

"Tsk tsk, cordially inviting Deputy Director of the Divine Capture Bureau Chen Xuan to attend the Youlan Association on the eighth of July!"

"It’s all because of the chief’s connections. My uncle hasn’t been able to eat at home these days!"

"Didn’t receive an invitation?"

"Yeah!" Qin Gang nodded, "My uncle’s position is like that, neither high nor low, whether he can attend the Youlan Association all depends on luck!"

"But, I’ve heard, chief, don’t know if it’s true or not."

Qin Gang leaned over and whispered, "This time, because there are people from other mansions, and even big figures, ordinary people have no chance."

"Big figures? How big?"

Qin Gang stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky, "It’s said to be from the Imperial City! The specifics are unknown."

"Hiss...."

This truly surprised Chen Xuan.

It seems that this Mansion Master Youlan’s status in the Great Xia is not low; people from the Imperial City are coming just for a Youlan Association.

"Have they attended past Youlan Associations?"

Chen Xuan asked.

Qin Gang shook his head, "No, this is the first time. After all, Youlan Mansion is just one of the mansions in Great Xia. Although the Mansion Master is a Second-Grade Expert, he doesn’t count for much in Great Xia."

He couldn’t make sense of it either.

"That’s really strange." Chen Xuan’s eyes grew deep, pondering over this.

"Alright, chief, I’ll head out first and not disturb your cultivation."

Seeing this, he tactfully took his leave.

"Mm!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

....

At this moment, Youlan Mansion City Lord’s Mansion.

In the main hall.

A middle-aged man in a black brocade robe, with a square face and sword eyebrows, sat imposingly at the top, looking at the letter in his hand.

This man was none other than Mansion Master Youlan, Ye Yilan.

"Hmph!"

He suddenly snorted coldly, throwing the letter onto the ground, his expression turning grim.

"What happened, sir? What has angered you?"

The one speaking was Youlan Mansion’s Chief Steward, Feng Zheng.

He had followed Ye Yilan for nearly twenty years and rarely saw him this angry.

He immediately picked up the letter from the ground and opened it.

Understanding dawned upon him at once.

Turns out, the Deputy Director of the Inspectorate, Wang Lei, actually wants to become in-laws with the lord; truly audacious!

No wonder the Mansion Master was so angry.

"Hmph! Just a mere Deputy Director of the Inspectorate, does he not know what he’s worth, and his useless son is already a joke? Truly a toad wishing to eat swan meat."

Ye Yilan said disdainfully.

Feng Zheng chuckled bitterly upon hearing this. The Deputy Director of the fearsome Inspectorate had become just a mere Deputy Director in the eyes of the Mansion Master.

Only he dared to put it this way.

However, he also found it strange; these important figures of the court’s Inspectorate, if they were to stamp their feet, Great Xia would tremble, but their descendants accomplish less and less.

How peculiar indeed.

"Could it be that they’ve stained their hands with so much blood that even the heavens couldn’t stand it anymore, punishing them?"

Of course, he only dared to think this to himself.

"However, the letter mentions that the court is somewhat displeased with Second Master for entering the Loyal Army Camp without permission and even killing two Second-Grade experts... this is something the lord might need to pay attention to, I fear the court might pursue this matter..."

His words were cut off by Ye Yilan.

"Afraid of what? Second Master is a living person, his abilities surpass even mine, can I control him? Nonsense!"

Ye Yilan wasn’t worried in the slightest, as long as he didn’t admit to giving the orders.

Even if the court pursued this matter, they’d go after the Second Master, what’s it got to do with him?

Feng Zheng was used to Ye Yilan’s shameless attitude.

The Mansion Master of Youlan Mansion had always been like this since his youth, very sly.

Yet it was precisely because of this that, after that incident, he was able to preserve himself and finally live a carefree life here at Youlan Mansion.

"Don’t bother with it, it’s a pipe dream. Also, how’s the preparation for the Youlan Association?"

This was Ye Yilan’s chief concern now.

His cherished daughter was almost eighteen, reaching the age for marriage, which was quite a headache for him.

"Everything is prepared, rest assured, my lord."

He personally checked every detail for this Youlan Association to ensure there wouldn’t be any issues.

If any mistakes occurred, it would be disastrous.

"Mm!"

Ye Yilan nodded. Feng Zheng had been with him for so many years and always handled matters prudently, so he was at ease.

"Ah, this Youlan Mansion is still too small!"

Even the mighty Mansion Master of Youlan Mansion felt helpless about his daughter’s lifelong matter.

Those below par, he dismissed, yet finding someone good was exceedingly difficult.

At this moment, a figure inexplicably appeared in Feng Zheng’s mind, prompting him to speak, "My lord, there might be a young man worth considering!"

"Oh?"

Ye Yilan raised his head, suddenly interested. Anyone who Feng Zheng found interesting wouldn’t be simple.

So he asked, "Tell me, what’s interesting about him?"

"He looks gentle, quite pale, under twenty, Fourth-Grade in Martial Dao, likely halfway through his bloodline transformation! However, he hides his strength, and most importantly, he’s not from a prestigious family, so he lacks pretense!"

Ye Yilan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Around the same age as his beloved daughter and a Fourth-Grade—which meant his martial talent was impressive, possibly even comparable to his own.

"It’s just..." Feng Zheng hesitated, as though recalling something.

"Just what? Why are you hesitating? Speak up!" Ye Yilan urged with impatience.

"It’s just, he has a bit too many women, already four of them! So..."

"That’s not an issue!"

He wondered what it might be! For a man, having a few women isn’t unusual.

Moreover, for someone young, good-looking, and with remarkable talent, which woman wouldn’t like such a man?

He could understand this, after all, he was a frequent patron of the brothels in his youth.

"Right, you haven’t mentioned his name yet."

"The Deputy Director of the Divine Capture Bureau, Chen Xuan! Two years ago, he arrived at Youlan Mansion due to the war, then joined the Divine Capture Bureau. Essentially, he either goes to the Government Office or returns home daily, quite a routine person. That’s basically it."

Because of Chen Xuan, he lost the bet once again.

Truly... fate, probably he’ll never win against the young lady in this lifetime.

"Mm, check him thoroughly over the next few days. Regardless of anything else, I need to be sure his background is clean so I can be at ease!"

"Yes, Mansion Master!"

"You may leave now!"

After Feng Zheng left, Ye Yilan squinted, lost in thought.

...

That evening, when Chen Xuan and Pei Yuenan returned to Chen Mansion.

They hadn’t even entered the back hall when they overheard several women discussing something.

"What’s all the chatter about, so lively?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile as he walked into the hall.

At this moment, Su Yun ran over mysteriously, her hands behind her back as if hiding something, "Brother Xuan, guess what I have in my hands?"

Chen Xuan pinched her little cheeks, grinning, "I won’t guess, I won’t guess!"

"Hmph!"

Su Yun swatted his hand away, complaining, "You’ve ruined it!"

No longer teasing him, "Ta-da... look, an invitation to the Youlan Association!"

Instantly, Chen Xuan was surprised.

There’s another invitation, could they have sent too many? Impossible! How could Youlan Mansion make such an error?

So he asked, "Who sent it?"

"It was sent by the woman by the lake the other day, saying she was inviting Yun’Er to attend the Youlan Association!" Su Wanqiu explained.

The woman by the lake?

"Hiss..."

Chen Xuan took a sharp breath.

It seems his guess was correct; this woman should be the Mansion Master’s daughter.

"Brother Xuan, can I go?"

Su Yun, hugging his arm, asked eagerly.
