: Chapter 58: Guardian! Ruan Family of Youzhou, Ruan Nanzhu!
When Chen Daoyan finished speaking.
Chen Zhixing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
He had considered secretly forming a faction to serve himself, as he would need a large number of people to gather cultivation techniques for him later on.
But as for leading the Chen Family, he truly had never thought about it.
"Patriarch, I am still young; discussing this matter now might be a bit premature, don't you think?" Chen Zhixing pondered and said.
Chen Daoyan was momentarily stunned by these words, then laughed dumbfoundedly: "There's some truth in what you say. I got a bit carried away, perhaps I was a bit too eager."
Afterward, he looked Chen Zhixing up and down, feeling more and more satisfied, his eyes shining as he said:
"Indeed, it might be a bit early to talk about leading the Chen Family, but it's never too soon to become acquainted with it."
"So, our Ziwei Chen Family has ten spirit veins in Yanzhou. How about I hand over five of these spirit veins to your Third Peak to manage?"
Before Chen Zhixing could respond.
Chen Daoyan continued after thinking for a bit: "Hmm, the Third Peak has too few people. Later on, I will arrange for three clan elders at the Peak of Divine Travel to guard the Third Peak for its protection, and if you have any questions in your cultivation, you can consult them."
"Oh, and currently you are the only hope of our Chen Family, no accidents should happen."
"You should have some means of self-protection."
Speaking of this, Chen Daoyan turned to look behind the main hall and called out: "Elder Nether."
As soon as he finished speaking.
An endless black mist silently surged from behind Chen Daoyan.
Subsequently, the black mist transformed into an ominous and stern old man with a decayed face.
"Patriarch." The ominous old man clasped hands towards Chen Daoyan, then looked at Chen Zhixing and nodded slightly, saying:
"Third Young Master."
"Younger Chen Zhixing greets Elder Nether." Chen Zhixing stood up and bowed.
Regarding the ominous old man before him, he had vaguely heard rumors.
It was said that behind the Patriarch of the Ziwei Chen Family, Chen Daoyan, there were two peerless experts, known as the Netherworld Elders, who secretly protected the Chen Family.
This Elder Nether should be one of them.
"Elder Nether, from now on you will not stay by my side, just do as Zhixing instructs."
Chen Daoyan said to Elder Nether.
Clearly, Chen Daoyan was afraid that Chen Zhixing might encounter unexpected accidents like Chen Zhaosheng did, so he arranged for a guardian for Chen Zhixing.
"I will strictly follow the Patriarch's orders."
Elder Nether glanced at Chen Daoyan, then looked over to Chen Zhixing, smiling as he said: "Third Young Master, please take care of me in the future."
Seeing this, Chen Zhixing's face couldn't help but show hesitation.
He had too many secrets on him, and having a guardian would inevitably be inconvenient.
"Zhixing, you must not refuse this, Elder Nether is a Half-Step Nirvana Realm expert, with him by your side, I can also be more at ease."
Pausing, Chen Daoyan smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about Elder Nether following you around at all times. If you need, you can ask him to step aside."
Hearing this, Chen Zhixing could only clasp his hands and say: "Thank you, Patriarch."
"We are all family, no need to be so formal."
Chen Daoyan smiled at Chen Zhixing, then with another flip of the right hand, a pristine and spotless Snow Feather Robe appeared in his hand.
"This Snow Feather Robe, was mine in the past, wearing it can at least withstand three full-force attacks from the True Self Realm, it has saved my life many times back then.
Take it."
After that, Chen Daoyan took out several dharma treasures of the True Self Realm and handed them to Chen Zhixing.
This solved a pressing problem for Chen Zhixing.
Currently, he lacks neither cultivation techniques nor cultivation.
The only thing missing is some defensive treasures to protect himself.
Finally, a full hour later.
Chen Daoyan reluctantly stopped the conversation.
Just as Chen Zhixing was about to take his leave.
Chen Daoyan seemed to recall something and said with a smile:
"Oh right, Zhixing, if you have time these days, you should make a trip to Youzhou."
"Youzhou?" Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow.
"That's right."
Chen Daoyan nodded and said: "The Ruan Family in Youzhou is considered an affiliate of our Ziwei Chen Family. Over the years, they have always been quite obscure."
"But this time, the Ruan Family gave birth to a talented daughter named Ruan Nanzhu."
"This girl, at just sixteen, has become renowned in Youzhou, not only possessing peerless beauty, but her cultivation has reached the Clarity Seventh Layer."
"Such talent and cultivation, while not matching yours, is still outstanding in today's cultivation realm."
"The Ruan Family Patriarch has sent me several letters, wanting to send Ruan Nanzhu to the Chen Family for further training, so you go to greet her."
Saying this, Chen Daoyan paused, giving Chen Zhixing an ambiguous look.
He lightly coughed, saying:
"Zhixing, with your unmatched talent, it is time to consider a marriage, to leave some descendants for the Chen Family."
Chen Zhixing did not speak, but when he heard the name 'Ruan Nanzhu', his heart suddenly trembled fiercely.
Youzhou?
Ruan Nanzhu?
The one who would later be known as the Skydominating with Bare Hands, the one who made armies avoid Youzhou, Ruan Nanzhu?
Chen Zhixing's pupils slightly constricted.
In 'Great Cultivation', there were a total of nine main storylines.
Among them, the Ye Chen that Chen Zhixing killed before belonged to the "Sword God Chapter".
In this Chapter, Ye Chen was the undisputed main male character, whose story told of his rise to become the new Sword God with the Sword God inheritance and the Cyan Pheasant Divine Sword.
Qing'er, was the main female character in this "Sword God Chapter".
Whereas Ruan Nanzhu was from another main line, known as the "Household Servant Chapter" main female character!
In the 'Great Cultivation' forums of the past life, Ruan Nanzhu had a massive following.
Her popularity was one of the top three in the entire 'Great Cultivation'!
"[Immortal Demon Body! Unparalleled Skills!]"
"[In the past five hundred years, Ruan Nanzhu can be called the most extraordinary woman in the world!]"
"[At seven, I caught a cicada, and thought I caught the entire summer; at seventeen, I gripped a sword, and truly grasped the entire Jianghu!]"
"[She once faced thousands and laughed: [Guqin and Pipa, the Eight Kings; Spirits and Phantoms, the Four Minor Ghosts!"
"[Under the Kunlun moon, she once beheaded the sinister Sword God of the older generation!]"
"[She asked at a song battle with Yao Yue: How do I compare to the Heavenly Lord in the sky?]"
It can be said.
While Chen Zhixing was immersed in his memories.
"Zhi'er?"
Chen Daoyan asked, seemingly seeing if Chen Zhixing disdained Ruan Nanzhu in some way.
"No, I was just thinking about something else." Chen Zhixing said, deep in thought upon hearing 'Ruan Nanzhu'.
Now that Ruan Nanzhu had started showing her talent, it probably wouldn't take long before she would shine brightly and distinguish herself.
Although he used to be interested in this character, at present, he wasn't overly concerned with matters of romance.
But...
"Hmm, then you shall go to Youzhou when you have time in these coming days, it will put my heart at ease to have you engage with Ruan Nanzhu."
Chen Daoyan smiled faintly.
"Understood."
