An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad-Chapter 194

Chapter 194

Yang Chen looked over. The person being stopped was Xiao Dong.

“It seems that there may be a fated opportunity for Xiao Dong within the Burial Sword Mountain! All the better; this trip will be worthwhile! Junior Brother Xiao Dong, once again, your brother-in-law is going to wrong you!”

Yang Chen chuckled inwardly, but his face was full of urgency as he said: “Junior Sister Chu Xi, it looks like Junior Brother Xiao Dong! We should hurry over; it seems he’s in some sort of conflict with others!”

“Yes!” Chu Xi nodded. But her slender hand couldn’t help but wipe at her lips. In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the scene from a moment ago.

Her heart filled with shyness.

After what just happened … she felt embarrassed to face her younger brother.

***

At the entrance of the Burial Sword Mountain. A few silver-armored cultivators blocked Xiao Dong, preventing him from entering.

One of them said: “Xiao Dong, to comprehend the sword at the Burial Sword Mountain, one must be at least at the Golden Core Realm. You’re currently only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and cannot enter to comprehend the sword!”

“If you persist, the Law Enforcement Hall will punish you severely!”

Unwilling to back down, Xiao Dong argued: “Deacon Li, I am now at the tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, just one step away from the Golden Core. Can’t you make an exception?”

However, the silver-armored cultivator remained expressionless: “No exceptions. There are rules in the Holy Land, and we must follow them!”

Just then, a young man with a jade crown and a brocade robe approached.

“Who’s causing a disturbance here? It’s you, Xiao Dong? Haha, it really is a small world, isn’t it?” Seeing Xiao Dong, Zhan Yunxuan immediately displayed a mocking smile.

“With only the tenth stage of Foundation Establishment, you want to enter the Burial Sword Mountain? You simply don’t have the qualifications! Do you really think the Holy Land will break the rules for you? Who do you think you are? Get lost now, or I’ll crush you myself!”

Zhan Yunxuan spat out his words with no mercy.

Xiao Dong’s face turned red with anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

“You damn scum! Just wait, once I’m stronger, the first thing I’ll do is kill you!” Xiao Dong thought bitterly.

He had no choice but to turn around and leave, but just as he walked a short distance, a familiar voice came to his ears: “Xiao Dong!”

Xiao Dong was taken aback.

“Sister?”

At first, Xiao Dong’s face lit up, but when he saw Yang Chen beside her, his expression immediately cooled. This bastard was clinging to his sister again, like a lingering ghost.

“Sis, they won’t let me in. Can you help me find a way?” Xiao Dong thought about it for a moment before asking. Although he didn’t want to trouble his sister, he had no other choice.

With a few Soul Transformation Realm cultivators guarding the gate, he didn’t stand a chance at breaking through.

“Xiao Dong, your cultivation hasn’t reached the Golden Core stage, so it doesn’t meet the Holy Land’s requirements. Maybe you should wait until the next time it opens.” Chu Xi said, feeling a bit helpless. She did want to help Xiao Dong, but the Holy Land had its rules. Moreover, those rules wouldn’t change for her. She didn’t have that kind of influence.

“Sis, the next time the Burial Sword Mountain opens is in a hundred years. I can’t wait that long!” Xiao Dong replied urgently. A hundred years was far too long for him.

Now that his Pure Yang Sacred Physique was beginning to recover, entering the Burial Sword Mountain would almost guarantee him a powerful ancient sword.

He had researched the history of Heavenly Dao Holy Land. Long ago, there was another cultivator with the Pure Yang Sacred Physique in Heavenly Dao Holy Land. He shared the same physique as that senior and had a similar origin. If he could comprehend the sword, he was bound to obtain the ancient sword left by that senior.

At that time, who would dare underestimate him? His strength would advance rapidly. Therefore, he had to enter the Burial Sword Mountain this time.

“Junior Brother Xiao Dong is right; if he misses this chance, another hundred years is indeed too long! Junior Sister Chu Xi, why don’t I see what I can do?” At that moment, Yang Chen spoke up.

“Senior Brother Yang, Xiao Dong’s cultivation hasn’t reached the Golden Core stage, so by the Holy Land’s rules, he can’t enter the Burial Sword Mountain for sword comprehension. It’s unfortunate, but the Law Enforcement Hall’s rules are strict. Senior Brother Yang, please don’t trouble yourself on our account.” Chu Xi said beside him.

But Yang Chen replied seriously: “Junior Sister Chu Xi, we’re family; there’s no need to be so formal! As his brother-in-law, I can’t just stand by when my little brother-in-law faces difficulty, can I? Besides, after all the hard work you put in for me just now, I can’t let it go to waste!”

Yang Chen’s hand gently caressed Chu Xi’s face and then pressed against her rosy lips.

“Senior Brother Yang, you’re terrible! Xiao Dong is still here!” Chu Xi chided playfully, her cheeks turning a soft shade of red.

“Yang Chen, damn you! I swear, I’ll kill you someday!” Seeing this, Xiao Dong clenched his fists tightly, cursing angrily in his heart. But in the end, he forced himself to endure.

He knew that today, if he wanted to enter the Burial Sword Mountain, he’d have to rely on this bastard Yang Chen. Though his face was flushed with anger, and his eyes were filled with rage.

Yang Chen walked over to the entrance of the Burial Sword Mountain. Zhan Yunxuan saw him. He paused for a moment, then hurried over with a smile.

“Senior Brother Yang!” The enthusiastic look on Zhan Yunxuan’s face left Yang Chen a bit perplexed.

What’s with this kid?

“Senior Brother Yang, we didn’t part on the best terms last time. I apologize for any offense! It was only later that I learned you’re a disciple of Aunt Lingshuang. Turns out, we’re practically family!” Zhan Yunxuan greeted warmly, even with a hint of flattery.

Yang Chen immediately understood; the kid must have done his homework after the last encounter.

Not bad, not bad. The kid certainly had potential as a sycophant.

“Senior Brother Yang, I assume you’re here to enter the Burial Sword Mountain as well? With your talent, I’m sure you’ll obtain an extraordinary ancient sword! Allow me to congratulate you in advance!” Zhan Yunxuan continued flattering him.

This display left the surrounding silver-armored cultivators and disciples bewildered.

When did the noble heir of the Zhan family, Zhan Yunxuan, become so good at currying favor? And who was this person before them who could make Zhan Yunxuan go out of his way to flatter?

“Junior Brother Zhan, I have a small favor to ask. Xiao Dong is my brother-in-law; could you make an exception for him?” Yang Chen asked.

Hearing this, Zhan Yunxuan looked over at Xiao Dong, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

But with Yang Chen, he nodded readily: “Senior Brother Yang, it’s a trivial matter! The Burial Sword Mountain practically belongs to our Zhan family! Please, go ahead!”

“Haha, thank you!”

“Thank you so much, Senior Brother Yang! Once again, you’ve done me a huge favor!” Entering the Burial Sword Mountain, Chu Xi whispered her gratitude beside Yang Chen.

Yang Chen couldn’t resist teasing her in a low voice: “Junior Sister Chu Xi, remember to properly thank me when we return! In the same way as before!”

“Senior Brother Yang, you’re so bad!” Chu Xi’s cheeks turned crimson.

She couldn’t help but recall the scene in the wooden hut just now.
