Chapter 1537: Chapter 1536: A Day of Great Celebration

"This Jueying Zhenren is really too greedy!"

After Ling Chen and Hong Ye left the inner courtyard, Xing Jiuyuan couldn’t help but curse, as ten bottles of Saint Body Ointment were incredibly precious items. Even he, the head of the Xing Family, was very envious, yet they had been extorted by this Jueying Zhenren.

"This junior of mine has always been like this, insatiably greedy."

Xing Wufa shook his head and then a cold smile appeared on his face, "But that’s good too, because only those who are insatiably greedy can be bought. He helped me get rid of Ling Chen. Although ten bottles of Saint Body Ointment isn’t a small amount, it’s worth it."

To him, Ling Chen was ultimately a big trouble, and after eliminating Ling Chen, there were still many loose ends. Lingyue Island was a big trouble, and now it wasn’t him who killed Ling Chen, but Jueying Zhenren. This way, the focus of Lingyue Island would be shifted to Jueying Zhenren, allowing him to clear himself of any involvement.

In the end, the biggest winner was still him.

Compared to this, ten bottles of Saint Body Ointment were just small gains.

"No matter what, getting rid of this Ling Chen, tomorrow’s matters should go smoothly, don’t you think? There shouldn’t be any more unwelcome obstacles, right?"

Xing Jiuyuan nodded in agreement with Xing Wufa, killing Ling Chen was indeed a great thing, like for him, the head of the Xing Family, he didn’t dare touch a hair of Ling Chen due to the wrath of Lingyue Island, which the Xing Family couldn’t bear.

"If Ling Tianyu is still alive, this guy should show up tomorrow, right?"

A cold gleam suddenly flashed in Xing Wufa’s eyes.

"Ling Tianyu has faded from our sight for many years now, surely he won’t appear anymore, right?" Xing Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow, "And even if he does appear, with his strength, how could he be a match for Wufa?"

"Ling Tianyu was one of the most outstanding individuals of our generation back then, Family Head, don’t underestimate him. From what I know of him, if he is still alive now, his cultivation is probably at least above the Five-fold Saint Realm."

The light in Xing Wufa’s eyes became more focused.

Hearing this, Xing Jiuyuan’s face also became serious, and he immediately said, "In that case, I will immediately order everyone to strengthen the defenses of Wangjing City, to prevent anyone from mixing into the Xing family in these two days."

"No," Xing Wufa waved his hand, "not only should the defenses not be strengthened, but the defenses of Wangjing City should actually be relaxed."

"Why is that?" Xing Jiuyuan was somewhat puzzled.

"If you fortify Wangjing City, you will only alert the enemy. I want Ling Tianyu to show himself. If he doesn’t appear, tomorrow’s wedding will be less interesting."

Xing Wufa chuckled coldly, "You only need to set up people inside and outside the Xing residence. You can let Ling Tianyu come in, but once he comes in, don’t give him any chance to escape."

"Hmm, you have a point."

Only then did Xing Jiuyuan’s eyes light up, nodding his head. Ling Tianyu, the man who once disgraced the Xing family, if he could be killed, it would naturally be for the best.

At this time, Ling Chen and Hong Ye had already left the inner courtyard, being led by an attendant from the Xing family to the room Xing Wufa had prepared for them.

"Why did the young master act so forcefully, aren’t you afraid of exposing a flaw?"

Hong Ye looked at Ling Chen, she was quite worried just now, seeing how Ling Chen acted so aggressively in front of Xing Wufa, it made her sweat for Ling Chen.

If Xing Wufa noticed a flaw, that would be bad.

"If I don’t act forcefully, that’s when Xing Wufa will see through a flaw."

Ling Chen shook his head, a glimmer of light in his eyes, "Xing Wufa is very shrewd. As long as I show the slightest flaw, he will detect it."

"Precisely because this person is exceptionally shrewd and knows Jueying Zhenren very well, if I act timidly and behave normally, he would spot something, whereas if I act greedily, it fits Jueying Zhenren’s nature. This way, he will be convinced."

Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes lit up slightly, nodding her head, "Young master is really smart."

"It’s not being smart, just that when out in the world, if you aren’t meticulous, sometimes you can easily find yourself in danger."

Ling Chen said flatly, in fact, all this is thanks to his years of venturing alone, gaining experience in the Jianghu. He understands these people’s psychology quite well, enabling him to adapt on the fly.

"By the way, how did the task I assigned you go?" Ling Chen suddenly looked at Hong Ye and asked.

Hong Ye nodded her head, "The message was sent out a day ago, it should have reached Lingyue Island by now."

"That’s good,"

Ling Chen was relieved. Although this action was imperative, he still needed to prepare thoroughly, so he had Hong Ye notify Lingyue Island to send high-levels to support him. This way, even if experts from the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao came to support the Xing family, he wouldn’t be left fighting alone.

"Next, we just wait and do nothing."

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and Ling Chen now just had to wait until tomorrow to see what would happen. His only concern was whether Ling Tianyu would appear, and if Ling Tianyu didn’t appear, he would have to act himself.

Following the Xing family attendant, they reached the outside of the Xing family’s room. Once inside, Ling Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and continued cultivating his Saint Body.

Now, his Saint Body, after consuming over twenty bottles of Saint Body Ointment, had reached the peak of Second-order Saint Body, only one step away from advancing to the Third-order.

Once the Saint Body reached the third-order, Ling Chen’s strength would definitely rise another level, giving him more confidence in facing tomorrow’s complex situation.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

By the next day, the entire Xing family atmosphere became very lively.

For the Xing family, today was a great day, as the Xing family and the Liu family, two super aristocratic families of the Central Dynasty, were to be united by marriage. Xing Wufa, an elder of the Xing family, was to marry the sister of the Liu Family Master Liu Chengyuan, Liu Xiling.

For most of the Xing family, this was naturally a good thing, as the marriage between the Xing family and Liu family was a powerful union, which would undoubtedly solidify the Xing family’s position in the Central Dynasty, a benefit with no downsides.

Moreover, the Liu family was a close family of Empress Yunyao, and with Empress Yunyao’s increasing control over the Central Dynasty, strengthening ties with the Liu family was a good omen.

As for whether Liu Xiling had been married before or was already a married woman, that wasn’t their main concern.

And just as Ling Chen expected, many messengers from other forces came to congratulate, and the representatives of the seven remaining families each sent messengers to attend. Even representatives from the Nine Province Sect Realm came.

The Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, backing Xing Wufa, naturally sent messengers, and other super sects also sent messengers, such as the nearby Cloud Mud Temple, Taiqing Palace, and even the distant Desolate Fire City sent their Third Elder Saint Qian Yan as a guest.

"That old thing also came."

Ling Chen’s gaze quickly locked onto Saint Qian Yan, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
