Qin Li’s face turned red immediately, and she wanted to retort, but Su Chen stopped her, "Li Er, Qin Du, let’s go! There are some matters I need to attend to in the imperial city!"
Indeed, he was in a hurry, and it was one of the reasons Su Chen couldn’t be bothered to argue with Xin Sha and Zhang Qingyi.
Since he was going to the Seventh Princess’s birthday celebration, a gift was undoubtedly necessary, especially since he had been personally invited by her.
The gift couldn’t be modest.
Su Chen had some ideas about the gift, but they could only be implemented upon arriving at the imperial city.
"Su Chen, you can find excuses to refuse now, but when you arrive at the imperial city, you won’t have any excuses left. I hope you’re mentally prepared. Fame can sometimes be a good thing and sometimes a bad thing," Xin Sha said coldly, not without threat.
"Qin Li, your Brother Su has truly opened my eyes!" Zhang Qingyi’s smile was thick, full of sarcasm and insinuation. Get full chapters from nοvelfire.net
Qin Du and Qin Li kept silent, walked up to Su Chen’s side, and then followed him as they left.
Once Su Chen and his company had walked a distance, Zhang Qingyi cursed under his breath, "What a coward! Ridiculous! Yet he is called a genius!"
"Alright, Qingyi, let’s also make haste on our journey," Xin Sha spoke indifferently, "As for Su Chen, his reputation does not match seeing him in person. He’s just trash; it seems all the buildup about him is just bluster. Let’s not waste our thoughts on him, but think about our trip to the imperial city instead!"
Zi Ming had said nothing from beginning to end, but there was a hint of faint disappointment in her heart.
Recently, the rumors about Su Chen were indeed very abundant, portraying him as exceedingly remarkable. She thought that Su Chen should not be inferior to Xin Sha, and even if there was a difference, it shouldn’t be significant—at least not to the extent of fearing a fight!
Zi Ming sighed softly.
Qin Li was feeling somewhat unhappy, silent.
"Li Er, what’s wrong?" Su Chen could tell that Qin Li was feeling moody.
"Brother Su, you could actually beat Xin Sha, right?" Qin Li pouted, "I’ve really gone through all your information recently. When it comes to understanding Brother Su, across the entire world, I’m definitely one of the best."
"Oh?" Su Chen found this amusing; the girl had actually gone through the trouble of researching his background... Interesting.
"According to my research, Brother Su, when facing enemies, the stronger they are, the tougher you become. You’ve never been afraid, you’re just that reckless, fearless type. And if you were to feign weakness and retreat, it would be because you deem the opponent not worthy of your effort. Do you remember when we just arrived at Great Cang City? When Han Qian from the Han Royal Mansion challenged you, you intentionally feigned weakness!" Qin Li stared into Su Chen’s eyes, full of accusation, "Brother Su, you’re clearly bullying me... Look at Zhang Qingyi’s contemptible demeanor; it drives me mad!!! Yet you didn’t stand up for me!"
"Girl, you’ve done quite a decent research!" Su Chen looked deeply at Qin Li and praised from his heart; she had indeed hit the nail on the head, as that was indeed his personality.
"Exactly, Brother Su, you’ve admitted it. How about this, let’s turn back, it’s not too far away. You can give Xin Sha a harsh lesson. He’s been so arrogant all the way, that pride of his, he simply doesn’t regard Brother Su..." Qin Li quickly said, tugging at Su Chen’s arm playfully.
"We’ll discuss it once we’re in the imperial city. I’ll teach him a lesson for you," Su Chen patted Qin Li’s little head, "What’s the rush?"
"Really," Su Chen nodded.
"Brother Su, but... but Xin Sha is a First Level master of the Creation Realm, can... can you really teach him a lesson?" Beside them, Qin Du inhaled sharply, hardly believing it.
"It should be possible!" Su Chen laughed.
"Little Du, sister already said, Brother Su is invincible, don’t you believe your brother-in-law?" Qin Li glared at Qin Du.
Su Chen no longer talked much, but continued to study the "Sky Fist," while Qin Li was happily and chirpily talking.
The Imperial City arrived.
Xuanfeng Imperial City.
The largest city within the entire Xuanfeng Imperial City, and moreover, it was far larger than any other cities.
It is said that the Xuanfeng Imperial City housed a permanent population of Martial Cultivators reaching 300 billion! The transient population of Martial Cultivators reached 500 billion!
It was an extremely exaggerated figure.
Additionally, the history of the Xuanfeng Imperial City’s construction is also quite ancient. According to the "Chronicle of Divine Martial," Xuanfeng City was built as early as four to five million years ago.
Within the Xuanfeng Imperial City, there were many famous things.
First, the strong, within the entire Xuanfeng Imperial City, not to mention the Royal Family, this ancient and terrifyingly powerful super family, just those old legacy families reached six or seven First-Rank Powers. You must know, within the Four Great Domains of the entire Xuanfeng Dynasty, there are altogether only eighteen First-Rank Powers! With many First-Rank Powers, naturally, there are many powerful individuals!
Second, the concentration of Spiritual Energy, as everyone knows, the concentration of Spiritual Energy is the foundation for Martial Cultivators. Four to five million years ago, the reason why Xuanfeng Imperial City was established here was because of a majestic middle-grade Spirit Vein located here.
Do not look down upon a middle-grade Spirit Vein. Within the Four Great Domains, all the Spirit Veins are low-grade, and moreover, the vast majority are withered low-grade ones. Only under the Xuanfeng Imperial City is there a middle-grade Spirit Vein.
Third, the cuisine, the Xuanfeng Imperial City boasts a Spirit Chef Restaurant. What’s a Spirit Chef Restaurant? It’s like the Michelin-starred restaurants on Earth! The standard is very high! Across the whole Divine Martial Continent, not counting the Buddha Domain, there are only about ten or eight Spirit Chef Restaurants!
What’s so special about the Spirit Chef Restaurant? The most special aspect is that the chefs inside the Spirit Chef Restaurant are disciples from the legendary Spirit Chef Sect, possessing their own secret recipes for cooking Demon Beast Meat. According to Martial Cultivators who have tasted dishes from the Spirit Chef Restaurant, the flavor of Demon Beast Meat inside is indescribably delicious; it can make one nearly bite off their own tongue, moreover, the preservation of Spiritual Energy within the Demon Beast Meat can reach nearly one hundred percent quality.
It is precisely because of such advantages that for many years, countless Martial Cultivators from the Four Great Domains have broken their heads wanting to live permanently in Xuanfeng Imperial City, however, just like those first and second-tier major cities on Earth, so many people harbor dreams of entering, yet, after many years, they can only sigh and return to their hometowns.
Big cities, incredible cities are tough to mix into; on Earth, the most one would endure in a tough city is some hardship and suffering, but it’s different on the Divine Martial Continent. In Xuanfeng Imperial City, difficulty to mix into means one could easily die. Even with such conditions, Xuanfeng Imperial City still has millions of permanent residents, further demonstrating the horror of Xuanfeng Imperial City.
"Whew..." Qin Du took a deep breath, clearly nervous.
"Scared?" Su Chen asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Qin Du nodded, not denying it, "Grandfather told me, once we are in the Imperial City, keep as low a profile as possible..."
"That makes sense," Su Chen hummed, "However, with me here, as long as you don’t actively seek trouble, no need to be afraid if trouble comes to you."
