Chapter 43: Breaking All Ties

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Even Xia Qingchen was so terrifying?

How could Xia Qilin, someone at the ninth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage, be casually beaten up into such a state?

When did Xia Yuan and Xia Qingchen become so powerful?

“Father, please help me and your grandson!” Xia Xun pleaded in pain.

Upon hearing this, Xia Cangliu roared in anger.

“Disobedient child!” Xia Cangliu was going to attack!

His cultivation base was at the first vortex-level and his strength was far inferior to the current Xia Yuan.

However, although Xia Yuan discovered it, he didn’t block or dodge the attack. He simply stood there with sadness on his face. “Today, I will take this attack from father. No matter if I live through it or die, our ties will be severed completely!”

Xia Cangliu was ruthless and callous. Thus, Xia Yuan no longer wished to maintain this laughable father-and-son relations.h.i.+p with Xia Cangliu.

It was fine if he was implicated, but he was afraid that his son’s future might be implicated too.

Seeing the might of the palm attack, if Xia Yuan didn’t resist, he would definitely suffer heavy injuries and it wouldn’t be overboard to say that he would lose half his life!

But at this moment.

The wine cups, the dishes on the table, the chairs, the walls, and even the entire Cloudguest Restaurant, shook.

After that, a shocking blast of energy shot up from below.

The tables, chairs, dishes, wine cups—all actually began to float!

Xia Cangliu, who was in the midst of attacking, was slammed into the ceiling by this blast of energy from below.

Everyone in the room was shocked.

This was…

Xia Qingchen’s eyes flashed with surprise. “Qi rising to the astral river! A sign of a cultivation base at the major star stage!”

BOOM, BOOM!

At the stairway, the light sounds of footsteps suddenly rang out unceasingly, getting closer and closer.

With every step taken, the amount of energy flooding upward grew more intense.

Everyone stared in fear and shock at the entrance of the stairway.

A moment later, a wizened old man about eighty years of age with a stooped back could be seen walking slowly upward with his hands clasped behind his back.

Behind the old man, a young lady with an unhappy look could be seen following. She was constantly kneading her wrists.

Xia Yuan, Xia Xun, and Xia Jie all had unfamiliar looks in their eyes. They stared at this old man who had an extraordinary aura but they didn’t know who he was.

Only Xia Cangliu was trembling as he called out in shock, “Zhen…Zhen Nantian!”

Back then when he was young, Zhen Nantian’s fame had already astounded the world, gaining the t.i.tle of martial legend.

After that, He went into seclusion and didn’t show his face for tens of years.

Now, for middle-aged people and younger, only a rare few had seen Zhen Nantian’s face before.

Only people of Xia Cangliu’s generation had the fortune to see it.

His eyes were wide open with disbelief. The martial legend himself actually came to this little restaurant.

“It has been many years since I last show myself in public, to think that there’s still someone who remembers me.” Zhen Nantian slowly entered the VIP room they were in.

As he spoke, the energy here all vanished.

The tables, chairs, wine cups—all fell from the air.

Xia Cangliu didn’t have the time to shake the wine that had fallen on him as he knelt in a panic and spoke emotionally, “Junior pays respect to the martial legend!”

What?

The martial legend?

Xia Yuan, Xia Xun, Xia Jie, Zhao Churan, and Xia Qilin all agitatedly knelt to pay their respect.

They were actually fortunate enough in this life to meet such a legendary character.

Only Xia Qingchen continued standing. In fact, he even asked, “What are you doing here?”

This question almost scared Xia Yuan to death.

This was the martial legend!

In the entire Divinebloom Duchy, including the nearby nations, he was the strongest supreme hegemon!

How could Xia Qingchen speak to the martial legend like that?

n.o.body knew why but Zhen Nantian didn’t blame Xia Qingchen and was smiling instead. “Your residence was smashed. This old man had nowhere to go and could only come here to look for you to partake in the lively environment.”

Zhen Zhilan who stood behind him stared at Xia Qingchen with a look of hidden resentment. “What residence is that? Me and my grandfather were waiting for you there, but in the end, a bunch of ruffians rushed in and started beating people up. We have no choice but to deal with them. Now, even my wrists are sore.”

That was why Zhen Nantian was angered and sent all the invaders flying with a kick.

After checking with the butler, he decided to personally come here to look for Xia Qingchen.

But just when he arrived, he saw Xia Cangliu preparing to attack Xia Yuan and Xia Qingchen.

He naturally wouldn’t sit on the fence and decided to act to stop Xia Cangliu.

When Xia Qingchen heard this, he spoke apologetically, “I’m sorry, there are some ugly scandalous things in my family that’s going on. It has implicated Miss Zhen.”

“Oh? Is this really a matter of your clan? I heard a bunch of people saying Northern Xia Manor wanted to take over your residence. Initially, I still didn’t believe this. How could there be something so preposterous? So it turned out that it is true!” Zhen Zhilan had a look of shock on her face.

As a pa.s.serby, even she felt this was unthinkable.

What clansmen would do something like forcefully taking away the properties of their own family members?

Even enemies wouldn’t dare to do such blatant actions, right?

“Well, this isn’t the place to chat. Let’s return to my residence before we talk,” said Xia Qingchen casually.

Zhen Nantian nodded. He glanced at Xia Cangliu and the others before turning to Xia Qingchen. “It’s not too good for me to meddle in your clan’s internal affairs. But if someone bullies you and your family, you can come directly to the Shrine to look for me.”

In truth, it was impossible for a martial legend like him to bother about insignificant beings like Xia Cangliu.

That would be too much of an insult to his status!

In any case, he could casually instruct some experts of the Shrine to help Xia Qingchen.

But he actually said that Xia Qingchen could directly look for him. He would help Xia Qingchen personally. From this, one could tell how much face he was giving Xia Qingchen.

“A bunch of dancing clowns, what can they do?” Xia Qingchen casually spoke. He then waved his hand. “Let’s head back to my residence.”

When he walked to the stairway, he discovered that Xia Yuan was still kneeling on the ground. He then spoke, “Father, how long do you want to continue kneeling for? Let’s head back!”

“Oh, good, good!” Xia Yuan hurriedly climbed up. His expression was like he was overwhelmed with favor as he followed behind Zhen Nantian.

Before such a legendary character, he didn’t even dare to stand up too straight.

Staring at Xia Qingchen and Zhen Nantian walking side by side as they conversed, he felt like he was in a dream.

All of these felt too surreal!

In the VIP room of the restaurant, the atmosphere was a deadly silence.

All that had happened earlier was too surreal. This made them unable to accept it even now.

Martial legend, Zhen Nantian, had an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p with Xia Qingchen?

Xia Cangliu’s eyes were filled with a dull look, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

In his life, he was always vain. This was why he was biased and doted on his second son while treating his eldest son harshly.

However, his judgment was off.

His eldest son was the most talented one!

Now that his eldest son had severed all ties with him and his second son had virtually offended the martial pavilion, he had nothing left. This caused his heart to be filled with gloom and regret.

Xia Jie stood there and remained silent for a long time. After that, she pulled Zhao Churan along. “Father, second brother. We will temporarily postpone the wedding engagement between Churan and Qilin. I feel that it’s better to listen to the opinions of the youngsters.”

She wasn’t a fool!

Xia Qingchen was then the true dragon that would determine the Xia Clan’s future.

His strength surpa.s.sed Xia Qilin and his network included the martial legend, someone Xia Qilin would never be able to get acquainted with even if he had a few lifetimes.

Why would she still let her daughter hang herself on a dead tree?

Zhao Churan felt joy in her heart. She originally didn’t want to be married to Xia Qilin.

But… she was also unwilling to be married to Xia Qingchen.

The shadow of the hero that had saved her still remained in her heart.

All of a sudden, she saw a familiar satchel on the messy ground.

“Ah! How can this be?” She immediately picked it up.

This was precisely the perfume satchel she had given to her benefactor!

Why would it appear here?

All of a sudden, a light went off in her mind as she mumbled to herself in shock, “So…my benefactor is none other than cousin Qingchen!”

She had been thinking why had her benefactor saved her although they were not related and didn’t know each other.

Now, she finally understood!
