Chapter 290 - 290 What? Brother

290 What? Brother-In-Law?

As soon as Liu Yuan entered the door, he saw Yuan Hongli, who was looking up at him.

The woman’s small, fair face had brows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water. Coupled with her sharp chin, she always gave people a feeling of delicate and pitiful weakness, but her lips were tightly pursed and had a sense of tenacity. Coupled with her thin shoulders and thin waist, and the wide and thick red cloak with a circle of white fur, she looked particularly slender.

No matter how she looked at it, she was a weak beauty, but she had dared to talk back to Xie Qian.

After four months, Liu Yuan met the Young Clan Master of the Fusang clan once again, but he felt as if it had been a lifetime.

From transmigrating with nothing, he was now planning to use the power of Bi Luo Mansion and the demonic sect to weaken the power of the three palaces of the Jade Mirage Sect, kill a few old farts, and send Ling Hua to the position of Sect Master.

In his eyes, the number one sect in the Central Plains was just a matter of time and effort. He could easily play with them and change the world with a single thought.

No one else in the world could do it. Because in the original plot, there was no one who could easily make the demonic sect and the Jade Mirage Sect unite, make the seven great sects spontaneously impeach the Jade Mirage Sect, and make the Sea Slashing Tower send an envoy.

As long as Liu Yuan was willing, as long as he settled his hundred-over Illustrated Cards, he could integrate all the forces in central Plains at will. This was his power.

In fact, if it was not for the sudden attack of the three Jade Mirage Palaces on the Spirit Transformation River and Netherworld’s personal intervention, he might only be a guest at the Jade Mirage Sect now and check on Ling Yu and his disciple’s situation. After reporting to the City of Ten Thousand Swords and the Water Moon Dock that he was safe, he would set off for the North Mansion in a few months.

He might be able to live in peace with the Jade Mirage Sect. He might even help the Jade Mirage Sect by revealing the locations of some Secret Realms that had not been opened yet. He would use the Sword Pavilion and other sects that he could contact as a foundation to consolidate the Jade Mirage Sect’s position.

However, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Often, these people liked to sing a different tune.

Thus, Liu Yuan, who had unfortunately been killed in the real world, could only break up the Jade Mirage Sect again and put it back together as the number one sect in the Central Plains. This new sect will replace the original rotten sect that was used to internal strife.

Liu Yuan let out a long breath. It was as if he had crossed the four months of time through the eye contact he had made with Yuan Hongling. He saw his reckless and ignorant self who had barged into this world and everything that had happened after that.

From this observation, he was now more determined to his goal and to face Ling Hua’s three questions.

If he wanted to start a harem, he first had to have enough power and influence to protect them. He had to use his own strength, and let them rely on him. He could not live off a woman until the end, and when his woman was in trouble, he was helpless!

As soon as this thought came to Liu Yuan’s mind, he felt that the primordial spirit in his body, which had just been cultivated not long ago, had become more solid. The essence that had not been consolidated after the dual cultivation was absorbed by his primordial spirit. As his spiritual power rotated, he suddenly broke through the threshold of the second level of the Soul Formation stage.

The spiritual power flowed like mercury, flowing through his meridians smoothly, making him feel great all over. It saved Liu Yuan at least a week’s hard cultivation.

This thought actually had a trace of heaven’s perception.

Was this the legendary state of Mind Enlightenment?

Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Back at the Singing Sword Event, he had even ridiculed how easily Ling Yu had broken through. Now, it was his turn.

But at this moment, in front of so many people, and with unfamiliar people present, Liu Yuan could not show his inner shock. He stopped in his tracks and simply stood on the spot, waiting for the spiritual energy fluctuation to end.

At the side, Su Lanfeng, who was preparing to help lead Liu Yuan to his seat, was at a loss for a moment. She could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations around Liu Yuan’s body and only came back to her senses after a long time…

I-is he breaking through?

Su Lanfeng was a Form Synthesis stage cultivator. She was a killer from Bi Luo Mansion and had been an undercover elder of a demonic sect. She had lived for a long time, but she was still stunned and shocked.

She had never seen such a thing before! Who had ever seen such a scene?

Without a word, Liu Yuan broke through as he walked, and the moment he crossed the threshold, he crossed a small cultivation realm.

Su Lanfeng finally understood why the Palace Master had made him the only appointed Guardian. This talent, this courage… Could it be that he was trained by the next Palace Master?

Even though Liu Yuan looked extremely calm, Su Lanfeng still asked carefully out of her duty as a subordinate. “Guardian, are you alright?”

Liu Yuan adjusted his breathing and retracted his aura. He smiled and said, “It’s fine. Coincidentally, I just happened to break through.”

Coincidently? Like I would believe you!

Everyone present was cursing in their hearts. They were all people with cultivation, so they could easily sense the extremely threatening aura that Liu Yuan exuded when he first entered. He had definitely broken through not long ago.

To break through right in front of their eyes… Yuan Bailang thought for a moment and understood. This person had probably forcefully suppressed the last stage when he broke through previously, deliberately waiting until this moment, and then breaking through in front of them to achieve his goal of lowering his prestige!

Such deep scheming! Such courage!

From the looks of it, even his own subordinate was stunned. This subordinate’s cultivation level was higher than his, so he probably had other connections to be able to command this person. Now, this Su Lanfeng probably had no other intentions, killing two birds with one stone.

No… There might be a third one.

Yuan Bailang turned his head and saw that his Young Clan Master was indeed looking at Liu Yuan with a strange look in her eyes. Sparks could even be felt when their eyes met.

“Miss Yuan, long time no see,” Liu Yuan stepped forward and said.

Yuan Hongli nodded and said in a soft voice, “Yeah, long time no see.”

She was a little disappointed, but also a little glad. It was ‘Miss Yuan’ and not “Young Clan Master’, but it was also not a more intimate title. However, it was fine. This showed that the other party was not a frivolous and impetuous person. Thus, she introduced the people behind her to him in turn.

Liu Yuan only felt that the woman in front of him was very close, probably because he had met her not long after he transmigrated. There was a kind of intimacy of ‘meeting an old friend in a foreign land’, so his attitude also became very gentle.

Seeing this, Xi He was slightly relieved.

Although she had been teasing Big Sister Hongli, she was actually trying to test her. She was afraid that her Young Clan Master had been deceived, and that the innocent and kind Young Clan master had been tricked both physically and mentally. There were many such stories in the Central Plains, and she would not let the Young Clan Master follow in those footsteps!

Now she was at ease, but the other party seemed to be out of love and not out of courtesy, only admiring the Young Clan Master and not having any romantic feelings, which was another difficult thing.

Xi He blinked her eyes and looked around hesitantly, mumbling, “Sister Hongli, you can’t control me now. I was just saying that I wanted to complain to Brother-in-law, and here I am.”

“What?” Liu Yuan heard Ling Hua behind him say, “Brother-in-law?”
