Chapter 437: Chapter 361: May I See the Lady’s Pen? (5k)_2 Chapter 437: Chapter 361: May I See the Lady’s Pen? (5k)_2 When Lady Xu wished to seek their help, Han Yu already harbored some doubts.
“I always feel that it’s not that simple,” Han Yu said with a grave voice, expressing his thoughts.
“With Brother Chen’s help, Lady Xu first killed Ouyang Tuo, eliminating a hidden danger, and then…” Han Yu brought up some of the doubts he had.
“How do you know she used my hand to kill Ouyang Tuo, rather than it being my own desire to kill him?”
“Intuition and observation.”
Chen Yuan became increasingly interested in Han Yu.
This average-looking fellow with slightly dark skin seemed to become more and more intriguing. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelfire.net
With a faint smile, Han Yu continued to share his views.
It had to be said that his observations were indeed meticulous. Not only had he detected the implied intent to kill Ouyang Tuo, but he also paid attention to the meaning betrayed by Lady Xu’s gaze when she looked at him.
Combined with his own judgments, he had arrived at a conclusion.
This time, Chen Yuan did not object but instead nodded in agreement, saying,
“You’re right, it was indeed through my hand that Ouyang Tuo was killed by Lady Xu.”
“In that case, this Lady Xu must indeed have significant ambitions,” Han Yu nodded gravely, finding this to be very likely.
“This matter is indeed not so simple. Brother Han, when you take control of the Array Eye and the formation, you must be careful and cautious,” Chen Yuan advised.
This was also because Han Yu had pledged his loyalty to him. Otherwise, Chen Yuan would definitely not have given such a warning.
In his speculation, the Divine Weapon hidden in the Earth Core Fire Vein was most certainly problematic, and even the formation they were defending was closely related to that object.
Don’t ask why—it’s also intuition.
And his intuition was always accurate.
“Han has understood,” Han Yu said, his face serious as he nodded.
“Come, let’s continue drinking tea.”
Chen Yuan smiled and swiftly changed the subject, no longer mentioning anything about the formation.
He could not possibly reveal too much. As for how much Han Yu could understand, that was entirely up to him. Chen Yuan’s first priority was to ensure that he obtained that Divine Weapon.
There could be absolutely no mistakes in this.
In the course of their conversation, Chen Yuan also congratulated Han Yu.
Following the battle at the Ascending Immortal Tower, not only Chen Yuan and Jiang He caused a sensation with the news that spread among watching Martial Artists.
However, under the shadow of their reputations, Han Yu’s was greatly overshadowed, attracting little attention.
But his ranking was indeed genuine.
After being assessed by the Ascending Immortal Tower, Han Yu successfully reached the thirty-sixth position on the Hidden Dragon List, becoming one of Chen Yuan’s subordinates with extreme talent.
For him, Chen Yuan was more about treating him as an equal.
And he had already thought of his duty; in the future, he would be in charge of his foundations in Tangshan Prefecture alongside the Capital Commandant of the Military Equipment Army, Du Ming.
While the two were conversing, Yue Shan, who was waiting outside, approached Chen Yuan and whispered,
“My lord, Lady Xu has arrived.”
Chen Yuan’s eyebrows rose slightly, and he pondered,
“Invite the Lady in.”
Han Yu’s eyes flickered as he whispered,
“Since there is a visitor, I shall take my leave first.”
Although he had decided to serve Chen Yuan, it hadn’t become an established fact yet, so he did not refer to himself as a subordinate—naturally, Chen Yuan would not force it.
“Good, you may go back.”
Han Yu left through the back door, not encountering Lady Xu, who arrived gracefully before Chen Yuan. She glanced at the steaming cup of tea and smiled,
“Did Brother Han Yu just leave?”
“Please,” Chen Yuan said, nodding his head and gesturing to replace the teaware in front of him with new ones.
Today, Lady Xu was very much like her usual self, still dressed in a simple black dress, which clearly outlined her graceful figure, as she slowly sat opposite Chen Yuan:
“Grandmaster Chen seems to be in high spirits.”
“Aside from cultivation, one naturally has to do other things. I wonder what brings the Lady here this time?”
“I’ve come to thank Brother Chen.”
“The old thief Ouyang Tuo was a major concern for my son and me. Since Brother Chen eliminated him, I naturally need to fulfill my promise. When does Grandmaster Chen plan to choose a Spiritual Weapon?”
“No rush, let’s wait until after the disturbance in the Earth Core Fire Vein.”
“That sounds good,” Lady Xu revealed a smile, not perceiving anything unusual.
However, Chen Yuan wanted to know more about that malicious weapon and began to inquire indirectly,
“The Lady mentioned before that every sixty years, the Hidden Soldier Valley causes a disturbance in the earth’s veins, but according to what I have heard, it seems not to be the case. There has never been such a disturbance in the Hidden Soldier Valley before.”
Lady Xu’s eyelids involuntarily twitched, but she quickly regained her composure,
“Where did Grandmaster Chen hear this news? Has the Lady forgotten what I said before? As long as a Dan Realm Master is in charge, there will be no disturbance, but since my late husband passed away, the Hidden Soldier Valley has lacked such a master, which is why I have asked for everyone’s help.”
“Is that so? Perhaps I heard wrongly,” Chen Yuan remarked.
“Does Grandmaster not trust what the Lady says?” she asked, looking straight into Chen Yuan’s eyes, seemingly trying to discern if he had noticed any issues.
“Has the Lady forgotten what I said that night? I never trust anyone, especially women.”
“Why do you say that?”
“I have heard a saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she lies. As the foremost beauty of Shuzhou, could the Lady also be lying?”
Chen Yuan looked at her calmly.
