C86 Guest at the Liu Family

In a quiet little courtyard, Han Chen sat quietly at the hallway of his room. He spread his hands out with his palms facing up. Two clusters of flame-like glow began to pulsate within his hands.

"Gather!"

Han Chen frowned, the light was actually changing her form at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, it turned into two 20 centimeters long red crescent moons.

He continued to circulate Martial Energy. Then, a layer of substance-like flame suddenly lit up on the surface of the crescent moon. He could clearly feel the scorching air currents in the air.

"Change!" Han Chen secretly shouted once more as the two crescent moons began to violently move. It instantly merged together and then transformed into the appearance of a bird or beast.

As the flames became increasingly hot, the outline of the bird became increasingly solid. Surprisingly, one could faintly hear the high-pitched chirping of birds.

"Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens!"

Bang! Han Chen's body trembled, the ball of fire in his hand exploded open, and a burst of energy undulated outwards, then disappeared.

"Sigh!" Another failure. " Han Chen looked at his hands in annoyance.

What he used just now was a martial arts technique that he had comprehended from the Flaming Phoenix Statue at Phoenix Village. Han Chen had even given this technique a resounding name, "Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens".

In the past, he had only grasped a tiny bit of it. In the past few days, he unintentionally discovered that the Sacred Artifact Flame Phoenix Jade Pendant could let Han Chen understand this technique deeply. Thus, in the past period of time, he barely went out. He had always been practicing "Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens" and "Great Void Dragon Wandering Steps".

"If your cultivation level isn't high enough, then it'll be difficult." Han Chen also understood one of the reasons, it was mainly because his own strength was still too weak.

At the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was unable to control the consumption of Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques, which was why he failed again and again. However, what made Han Chen happy, was that with the help of the Flame Phoenix Jade Pendant, the lethality of the "Crescent Moon" he was using had increased by a lot.

"Han Chen." At this moment, a call was suddenly heard from outside the courtyard.

"Hmm?" Han Chen could not help but be taken aback.

Then, he saw a young disciple in his early twenties walk in. Han Chen's figure moved. It drew an afterimage in the air and stopped right in front of the other party.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The man didn't even have the time to react. He thought that he had seen a ghost and collapsed backward in fright.

"Whiz!" The airflow trembled lightly again as Han Chen flashed behind the opponent, supporting his back, he stabilized his body. Are you okay? "

"Are you going to scare me to death? "What bad luck." The man shrank back as he glared at Han Chen in dissatisfaction, "Aren't you afraid of scaring people to death by suddenly appearing?"

Han Chen also felt that he was in the wrong, and touched his nose in embarrassment, as he said with a slight smile. "I don't know either. There will still be people coming here."

"Hmph, it seems like no one is willing to come." The man cursed in a low voice, then said coldly, "Today is the engagement date between young master of the Liu Family and Miss Ji Family. Our Bai Clan is also among the invited. Young Master wants me to come over and tell you, go to the main hall and wait for him. "

Ji Rushi and Liu Yifeng's engagement?

Han Chen could not help but be taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "What does that have to do with me? Could it be that I am still among those who are being invited? "

"I don't know about that. You just need to go." The man looked impatient.

"Alright!"

"Hah! Hurry up!" "Don't dilly-dally."

After sending the other party off, Han Chen's expression darkened slightly as he frowned. After a brief moment of thought, he went back to his room to change his clothes. He also carried the "Belt Soft Sword" he had bought from the Jade Talisman Tower not long ago. After that, he walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the front yard of the Bai Clan.

Along the way, they met many Bai Clan servants. However, when they looked at Han Chen, there was a trace of a strange expression in their eyes.

After a moment, Han Chen arrived at the entrance of the great hall, and stepped inside. Many pairs of eyes looked over at the same time. Bai Hong, the White Army and the rest all wore faint smiles on their faces. This feeling was as if there was going to be a good show to be had soon.

There were about a dozen people in the hall, and two middle-aged men stood on top of them. One of them was Han Chen's first uncle, Bai He. The other one had a refined appearance. It was his second uncle, Bai Hao. He was also the father of Bai Jun and Bai Yu.

"Chen'er, you're here." When Bai Hao saw Han Chen coming over, his face revealed a warm smile.

Chen'er? Hearing this familiar name, Han Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart. In the entire Bai Clan, besides his parents. Only his second uncle, Bai Hao, called him that.

The reason why Bai Hao didn't reject Han Chen was because he had doted on his little sister, Bai Muxuan the most in the past. Bai Hao was one of the few people who was concerned about Han Chen.

Bai Yu stood beside Bai Hao and looked at Han Chen calmly.

After a moment of absent-mindedness, Han Chen walked to the center of the hall and cupped his fists. "Greetings, First Uncle and Second Uncle."

"Hmph." First Uncle Bai He snorted coldly and ignored him.

Second Uncle Bai Hao smiled and stepped forward to say, "Chen'er, I've just returned from outside not long ago. I didn't know you were back! Have you seen Grandpa? "

"Nope." Han Chen answered honestly, and a look of disappointment flashed past his eyes.

Bai Hao helplessly shook his head, "It doesn't matter, he's still in closed door cultivation. I'll see you when he comes out. "

Seeing Bai Hao so concerned for Han Chen, his son Bai Jun, who was nearby, was clearly unhappy. Bai Hong who was beside him exchanged glances, and could not help but reveal a look of contempt.

"Chen'er, how were you doing in Mystical Peak? "How strong are you now?"

"Second brother." Without waiting for Han Chen's answer, Bai He interrupted Bai Hao's question. He rolled his eyes and said lightly, "It's getting late, we should also go to the Liu Family."

Bai Hao did not refute him and nodded. He said to Han Chen, "Let's talk when we come back."

"Yes, second uncle."

A troop of almost 20 people headed towards the Liu Family. In Hidden Court City, the Liu Family was a first-class family with a lot of powerful warriors. Their overall strength was equivalent to that of the Bai Family. As a reputable family, for such an important matter like the engagement of a young master, naturally they had to invite guests from all four sides.

Bai He and Bai Hao led the group, along with some of the clan's most outstanding disciples. However, in the eyes of Bai Hong and the Bai Jun, it was not as simple as Liu Yifeng and Ji Rushi betrothing him.

At this time, the Liu Family was already bustling with noise and excitement.

This was only a betrothal, not an official wedding. If that day came, it would be even more lively. Even so, the scene was still rather grand.

The front yard of the Liu Family was full of guests. The big red carpet in the middle was covered with a layer of red petals. The patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xuan, was a middle-aged man in his forties who was greeting guests with a smile on his face. Liu Yifeng was also standing behind him. With his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor.

Although Liu Xuan had a gentle face, anyone who was familiar with him would know. He was a complete, smiling tiger, and his personality was quite vicious. This was only natural. As the head of the family, if he wasn't ruthless, how could he stand firm on his feet?

"Guest of the Bai Clan has arrived." Following the shouting from the manager outside, Bai He, Bai Hao and the group from the Bai Clan walked in.

Liu Xuan immediately brought Liu Yifeng to welcome him, "Haha, the Bai Clan Brothers are here? I'm really going to miss this opportunity. "

"Hehe, the Liu Family Patriarch is too serious. As the joyous occasion is near, you actually have a glowing face, haha. " Bai He cupped his hands together and laughed heartily.

"Why isn't Master Bai here? Could it be that you don't want to be entertained in your humble home? "

"The Family Patriarch of the Liu Family is joking. Father is in isolation and cannot come. Please forgive me."

"Haha, no matter. I was just casually saying those words." Liu Xuan immediately changed the topic and turned his gaze towards Bai Hong, Bai Jun and Bai Yu, who were behind the two of them. The young masters and young madams of the Bai Clan were truly dragons among men. Old Master Bai is so lucky to have three such outstanding grandsons and granddaughters. "

When these words came out, Bai Hong and Bai Jun could not help but reveal a little complacency on their faces.

Bai He waved his hand and laughed, "If you want to talk about the dragon and phoenix of men, how can my family's three compare to young master Liu? "Right!"

"Uncles, you flatter me." Liu Yifeng took a step forward and politely cupped his fists. As he spoke, he looked towards the Bai Clan. His gaze finally stopped on Han Chen's body.

Han Chen also felt that the other party was strange and could not help but narrow his eyes as he became vigilant.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Bai Clan's entourage was led into the courtyard and greeted courteously.

Speaking of which, the various big families of Hidden Court City were not as harmonious as they looked on the surface. The open rivalry and the covert warfare were stirred up by the dark currents. These are inevitable. Naturally, Liu Xuan's words contained a little probing meaning.

All the influential families in the Hidden Court City were basically here. Both Bai He and Bai Hao were familiar with each other. Both of them greeted the others whom they knew as well.

Han Chen stood in the middle of the Bai Family line and looked at the people around him calmly. He had grown up here as well, and had come to know quite a few familiar faces. However, due to his special identity, he seemed a little out of place in the group.

"Liu Yifeng, Liu Yifeng. Is this the kind of person Ji Rushi is going to marry? " Han Chen subconsciously turned his gaze towards Liu Yifeng, who was receiving guests.

He was extraordinarily handsome, had an outstanding background, and with his exceptional talent, he was already at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining when he was young. This condition was indeed very compatible with Ji Rushi.

However, from Liu Yifeng's gaze just now, Han Chen could clearly feel a trace of malicious intent. He had a nagging feeling that today's matter wouldn't be as simple as it seemed.

"What are you thinking about?" A gentle voice came as Han Chen's shoulder was patted from behind.

"Hmm?" Han Chen was stunned. The one who patted him was actually Bai Yu, the daughter of his second uncle, and also his cousin. If I remember correctly, this should be the first time you talk to me! "

"Oh?" Bai Yu couldn't help but to be startled, her bright big eyes gently moved, "Really? I can't remember exactly what happened in the past. "
