Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 128 - 127 Return

"What’s the panic for!"

Ye Yilan glared at him.

Xuan Er is attempting to reach the first grade this time, unless Youlan Mansion falls, he absolutely cannot be disturbed.

Also...more importantly, Xuan Er and Bai Ze have a life-and-death grudge.

He’s really afraid the two of them will start fighting when the time comes.

Of course, it’s not that he’s afraid Xuan Er will lose.

But once they start fighting, the promise given by His Majesty back then would be as good as gone.

By then, the trouble would be immense.

"Scared, Lord Mansion Master."

Feng Zheng had a pained expression, there was no need to maintain face at this point.

Damn it, that’s Bai Ze, the butcher.

He’s killed dozens of Second Grade, not to mention the Third Grade, there are hundreds.

To say he’s a demon beast clad in human skin is putting it mildly, he’s too brutal.

Normally it would be fine, but this time it’s a court order, he has just cause to conscript, and if one disagrees, there’d be no issue even if he kills.

Just then, a servant from the mansion reported, "Reporting to Lord Mansion Master, Lord Chen Xuan requests an audience!"

"Heh, this kid... seems like he’s got the news too!"

Ye Yilan felt truly exhausted, everyone was coming to him, and the key part was he didn’t have much to do, but he still instructed, "Let him in!"

A moment later, Chen Xuan walked into the hall, respectfully saluted, and nodded at Feng Zheng.

"You kid only come when there’s something up, speak, what’s the matter?"

"Hehe," Chen Xuan chuckled, then straightforwardly said, "Lord Mansion Master, I’ve heard that the court plans to send troops and might even mobilize Youlan Mansion’s forces, so I specially came to inquire!"

This is not the time to beat around the bush.

"So judging by your words, you don’t want to go?"

"Don’t want to! Absolutely don’t want to!" Chen Xuan answered directly.

This was somewhat unexpected to Ye Yilan; he thought this kid would try to talk circles around him!

But... he really was straightforward.

"You rascal, truly fearless, ignoring a court conscription order is enough to get you executed!" Ye Yilan scolded with a laugh.

"There’s no way around it, I’m afraid of dying! The court is too big this time, I’m merely a Third Grade, a slight misstep could lead to death. I have several women at home, can’t let them become widows!"

"See, going means a high chance of death, not going also means death! So what’s there to be afraid of?"

"That’s why I came to find Lord Mansion Master, to see if there’s a way to save my life!"

"Of course, I know Lord Mansion Master won’t just stand by and watch!"

Ye Yilan truly realized this guy’s thick skin could rival city walls.

By saying this, if he doesn’t help, it’d seem like he’s a bad person.

"Enough, things haven’t reached that point yet, no need to worry!" Ye Yilan said in exasperation, but then warned, "Don’t mess around, this time the court’s Commander-in-Chief is a ruthless figure, keep a low profile!"

"Understood, the butcher!"

Chen Xuan blurted out.

But this Bai Ze really isn’t ordinary, even Zhuge Potian fears him, and now Ye Yilan also seems very solemn.

He’s a fierce man!

"Heh, you’ve got the connections, Potian told you, right? In that case, he should’ve told you what to watch out for, so I won’t elaborate. In short, one word: don’t rush, things haven’t reached that stage yet, just wait."

Seeing this, Chen Xuan wanted to say something more, but he was cut off, "All of you can retreat now."

He said, waving his hand.

Helpless!

Chen Xuan and Feng Zheng could only leave first.

After they left, Ye Yilan let out a deep sigh.

Others are fine, but why does it have to be this Bai Ze! So troublesome.

...

After leaving Youlan Mansion, the sky was gradually darkening, and Chen Xuan headed straight for the Ink Lotus Pavilion.

At this time, the Ink Lotus Pavilion was at its busiest.

The first floor was packed, chatting, drinking, having a great time.

"Ah, being an ordinary person is quite nice too."

He thought to himself.

At least there’d be none of his current troubles, and even if Youlan Mansion fell, at least the Loyal Army wouldn’t do anything to ordinary folks like them.

Thinking of this, there was even some envy in his eyes.

...

On the fifth floor.

At this time, Pei Geng, Pei Hu, Pei Yuenan, and Chen Xuan were sitting together.

Since Pei Geng ate an Immortal Spirit Date last time, he had reached the Fifth Grade (Bone Grinding), advancing his strength substantially.

Even Pei Hu was close to the Sixth Grade.

At this moment, Pei Geng, with a flushed face from drinking, looked increasingly pleased with Chen Xuan, his son-in-law.

If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t be living such a life now.

But Chen Xuan suddenly put down his wine glass and asked, "Any news from Yunze County recently?"

The three were all momentarily stunned.

Not understanding why he suddenly brought up this topic.

"Not recently, but a while ago, a caravan passed by here; I inquired back then, and things are pretty much the same as before, even slightly better!" Pei Geng said, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Yunze County, that was his root, and the Pei Family.....

Actually, in these two years at Youlan Mansion, his only obsession was to rebuild the Pei Family, but.... forget it!

"I can go back and take a look!"

Chen Xuan took a sip of wine, speaking startling words.

"What’s wrong, has something happened?" At this moment, Yue Nan also felt his abnormality today.

Usually, he would never mention such things, after all, he was used to living in Youlan Mansion.

Yet today was completely different.

At this moment, Chen Xuan did not hide from them, so he told them about the court’s decision to dispatch troops to attack the Loyal Army, and the plan to conscript all the forces from Youlan Mansion.

"Does that mean not only you, but even my father might be conscripted by the court?"

Confronted with the possibility of the two most important men in her life being conscripted, Pei Yuenan felt like her world was about to collapse.

"There’s a high chance, the commander sent by the court this time is a ruthless figure, even Ye Yilan has to yield to him."

Some things needed to be clarified, not to mention such matters couldn’t be concealed for long anyway.

Hence, Chen Xuan had the idea to let Pei Geng return to Yunze County.

After all, compared to himself, he’s only of Fifth Grade; to put it bluntly, he’s barely better than cannon fodder, almost like elite cannon fodder.

As for him, he actually still had the Divine Leg Technique; as long as he’s not too reckless and remains cautious, he can still save his life.

So letting him return to Yunze County was actually a suitable choice.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy.

No one spoke. As for Pei Geng, his heart always longed for Yunze County, but he couldn’t bear to leave Pei Yuenan.

Before leaving, Chen Xuan instructed to make a quick decision; otherwise, by the time the court’s army arrives, it would be too late to leave.

...

In the carriage, Pei Yuenan snuggled in his arms, filled with worry.

"Alright, it’s fine, I’m here!"

However, these words were spoken with a lack of confidence.

But Pei Yuenan straightened up, asking: "Can we go back together? No matter where, no matter what life we live, as long as we are safe as a family, that’s enough."

"Sigh!"

Chen Xuan sighed helplessly in his heart, how could it be so simple.

In these turbulent times, to protect oneself, the only way is to enhance strength; only with enough power can one survive.

Moreover, Zhuge Potian stated today that even if he leaves, Bai Ze wouldn’t let him go; should he hide with several women in the deep mountains forever?

He didn’t want that!

"Let’s talk about it later!" Once again, he held Pei Yuenan in his arms, "When we return, don’t speak of it, and don’t reveal any clues, understand!"

Pei Yuenan didn’t speak, just nodded slightly.

She also knew that saying more meant disagreement, so she didn’t continue to persuade Chen Xuan.

Because she understood, although Chen Xuan usually pampered them, once he made a decision, no one could change it.

....

In the Imperial City, Bai Mansion.

Bai Ze was thrilled, finally able to go to war.

He had really been frustrated for years, the court lost four states, and he had applied to fight several times, but without exception, he was refused.

Now it was finally his turn.

At this moment, intense killing intent emanated from him, just like a demon beast that hadn’t tasted blood for a long time, about to start a massacre.

Luckily, there was only one other person in the whole hall besides him, another Second Grade individual, his younger brother Bai Qi.

"Brother, restrain yourself a bit, you’re becoming obsessed!"

Bai Qi slightly frowned, since knowing the court was appointing him as the commander of Jingzhou, he had been in this bloodthirsty state.

Making the entire Bai Family feel like a slaughterhouse.

"Heh heh!" Bai Ze grinned wickedly, "Too excited, it’s been a long time since I cleared those sects and unleashed a massacre."

"This time, I’ll make sure to kill a few Second Grades! Let those bastards in the Loyal Army know who the true master is! Daring to establish a nation! They’re courting death!"

As soon as the word "death" came out, the killing intent in the hall intensified.

On the side, Bai Qi felt really vexed, feeling that speaking was as good as not speaking, as his brother didn’t listen at all.

However...

"Right, when you attack Yu Province this time, you have to pass by Youlan Mansion, be careful, Xuan Er is there! Best not to provoke conflict, he’s very strong now."

This was also the main reason he came here today.

Because he knew Bai Ze’s character, it was he who had personally led people to besiege Xuan Er back then.

But in the end, it was Ye Yilan who pleaded with Your Majesty, and for some unknown reason, they finally spared Xuan Er.

This matter left Bai Ze very disgruntled, but since Your Majesty had spoken, no matter his reluctance, he had to cease.

However, only Bai Qi knew that his desire to kill Xuan Er had never stopped.

Moreover, the two were already mortal enemies.

"Humph!"

Bai Ze snorted coldly, disdainfully saying: "So what if he’s strong? It’d be better if he dares to make a move!"

Although he didn’t know what terms Ye Yilan agreed to for Your Majesty to spare Xuan Er, he was sure of one thing, if Xuan Er made a move, he’d have a reason to kill him, then Your Majesty wouldn’t say anything.

But Bai Qi was right about one thing, he was really strong now.

Single-handedly infiltrating the Loyal Army Camp and killing two Second Grades as if it was an unmanned territory, these were not false products of Great Xia but genuine Second Grades.

He couldn’t do it.

But he wasn’t afraid either; one person wasn’t enough, he had the entire Inspectorate!

He didn’t believe that the whole Inspectorate couldn’t handle him.
