Chapter 25: You Can Ask Him Yourself

The following day, the Great Xias imperial palace released an imperial edict announcing Fang Chens punishment.

Fang Chen is forbidden to step into the imperial court or lead an army for the rest of his life.

An intense debate broke out when the civilians learned about the matter.

Some said that the emperor had crippled Great Xia with this move. Some said that this could appease Greenpine Countrys wrath.

In the General Fang Manor, Fang Canghai handed over his Tiger Seal and was stripped of his position as the general of the East Tiger Barracks. He was demoted to a gatekeeper for the east city gate.

This should have been bad news, but a lively celebration was held in the Fang Manor instead. The main family and branch families gathered together to celebrate the recovery of Fang Chens cultivation.

The Fang Clan was the only clan with a fourth stage Ki Manifestation martial artist, after all! Not even the imperial palace had an expert of this caliber.

Xu Ge, Tie Ma, and Huang Sihai reminisced about the past together.

Huang Sihai, as a Dragon General, had not been under the same command chain as Xu Ge and Tie Ma, but the three of them had met one another. After five years of absence, there were endless things for them to talk about.

Chener, Ill be returning to the palace after this meal. The empress looked at Fang Chen with a smile. Youre 23 now. Its about time for you to form your family. Are there any ladies youre interested in? Ill help matchmake you.

Fang Canghai and his wife, as well as Fang Cangyou, looked at him with expectant eyes.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

I do have someone in my heart. Fang Chen nodded.

The crowd was surprised. Fang Zhixue excitedly asked, Big brother, who is it?

I dont know either. Fang Chen shook his head with a helpless smile.

The sight of the fairy amidst the blazing sun five years ago was imprinted in his mind. Even now, he was still unable to forget about her.

The crowd stared at Fang Chen with frowns. They thought that he was finding an excuse to sidestep the matter. But again, they knew Fang Chen was different from ordinary people, so it wouldnt be wise to rush this matter.

Father, is grandfather still training in seclusion? Fang Chen casually asked.

Yes, your grandfather is still training in seclusion. Our Fang Clan will have another fourth stage Ki Manifestation expert if he succeeds, Fang Canghai nodded with a smile.

This topic excited the crowd.

Ten Wolf Army soldiers escorted me away, while the others stayed behind to stall the daoist. What shocked me was how easily the daoist found me no matter where I ran and hid. Slowly, my escorts died one after another. In the end, I had no choice but to escape into your capital.

Celestial Xiao turned to Fang Chen and sneered, That daoist is likely a Ki Manifestation expert. Your Great Xia has truly hidden its strength well. It looks like you have never truly submitted in the past five years no matter how subservient you all appeared.

Daoist? Fang Chens face turned grim.

Her descriptions, invulnerable to blades and spears and tremendous strengthwhy does that sound like the Protection Talisman and the Strength Talisman? Those are the entry talismans to the world of cultivation; they arent exclusive to the Three Thousand Dao Gate. Normal daoists are able to draw them too.

If my guess is right, it means theres a cultivator hiding in our Great Xia!

Though it might just be a martial artist too. There are a handful of martial arts that bolsters ones defense and grants one immense strength.

Fang Chen, do you know whos that daoist? Who sent him to kill me? Celestial Xiao asked.

You mentioned earlier you couldnt shake him off, and he was able to easily find you no matter what you did? Fang Chen asked.

Celestial Xiao nodded.

With a wave of his hand, Fang Chen released a surge of spirit ki into Celestial Xiao. It didnt take him long to stumble upon something.

What are you doing?! Celestial Xiao was alarmed to see Fang Chen walking toward her.

Dont move, Fang Chen ordered.

He tightly grabbed Celestial Xiaos shoulder and furiously pumped his spirit ki into her. A second later, a white worm writhed out of her skin.

Celestial Xiao was horrified by this scene. Why is there a worm inside my shoulder?!

This is how that daoist tracked your whereabouts, Fang Chen said before crushing the white worm into bits.

By this point, it was certain that daoist was a cultivator, but there wasnt enough information for him to figure out how powerful the other party was.

What kind of means is this?! Celestial Xiao stared fixated at Fang Chen as she held back her urge to puke.

You can ask him yourself. Fang Chen turned his eyes in another direction.

Celestial Xiao looked over too. A middle-aged man dressed in a light-red dao robe was standing quietly by the corner with a livid face.
