Chapter 29 The Xiang Family's Conspiracy

Xiang Mansion, in Chu Garden.

Xiang Chen held the long sword in his hand and thrust it out, and the starlight suddenly appeared.

It was the Heavenly Star Sword Technique - Flying Stars to Transmit Hatred!

The tip of the sword stopped on a piece of snow-white and delicate skin, and the place it pointed to was Bu Yi's throat.

"Is it like this at the time?" Xiang Chen asked.

Bu Yi swallowed her saliva and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes."

"How do you feel?"

"It's terrible... Xiang Lang's innate comprehension is indeed much better than mine! The comprehension of this Heavenly Star Sword Technique is far above mine, but..."

Bu Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But just relying on this, it seems that it is still not enough to make a master of cultivation urinate incontinent..."

Xiang Chen's eyes condensed.

"You mean, Lu Yu's swordsmanship is exquisite, and it is still better than mine?"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Bu Yi shook her head quickly.

"Perhaps, there were some situations that we didn't know about at that time. It's a pity that Brother Sheng has refused to speak since he came back from Wuyang. Otherwise, it would be the clearest to ask him."

"Even if it is, it doesn't matter!"

Xiang Chen put away his sword, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Besides, I hope it's really like that."

Bu Yi was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

"What does Xiang Lang mean?"

Xiang Chen raised his head with a deep look.

"I have always felt that there are still some things in this set of Tianxing swordsmanship that I have not yet understood. If Lu Yu's swordsmanship is indeed better than mine, then it means that I am right!"

"As long as I continue to study in this direction, I will understand the true meaning. By then, my cultivation will definitely improve significantly, and I may break through the realm again!"

Bu Yi was surprised. Xiang Chen had just broken through two realms, and he could break through again!

If he breaks through again, he will be in the middle stage of the Zhenyuan realm. Such strength is simply shocking among the four counties of Jiangzuo!

"Chen'er."

At this time, a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing walked into Chu Garden.

It was Xiang Lijian, the governor of Lujiang County and the head of the Xiang family.

"Dad."

"Hello, Uncle Xiang!"

The two of them greeted each other quickly. Since they had not officially married yet, Bu Yi still did not change her words.

Xiang Lijian nodded and asked, "How are you practicing?"

"We are not practicing, we are just practicing swordsmanship." Bu Yi replied.

Xiang Chen asked directly, "Dad, how are your arrangements?"

Xiang Lijian smiled slightly, and there was a bit of mystery in his smile.

"It's almost done. With our help, most of the bets in various places are now concentrated on Liu Qianjun, Hua Zhilan, Ning Feng, and even Lu Yu..."

"I never thought that Sheng'er's performance at the treasure tasting conference would unexpectedly lead to this. Now everyone thinks that our entire Xiang family is not worthy of its reputation, which makes us more effective when we help the situation!"

"Now, as long as Chen'er wins the four-county martial arts competition and takes first place, our Xiang family will make a lot of money, and those rumors that slander us will be broken, and the reputation of the Xiang family will definitely be raised to a higher level!"

"In this way, we will gain both fame and fortune!"

Bu Yi couldn't help but feel shocked.

The Xiang family's ability to seize opportunities is first-class. A bad thing can be reversed into a good thing in their hands. This is also an important reason why the Xiang family has stood firm for so many years and has become stronger and stronger.

Xiang Chen smiled coldly and said proudly: "The Xiang family has been planning for this for many years. I have been hiding my incompetence for so long. Isn't it just this day that I have been waiting for!"

"But you must not be careless!"

Xiang Lijian's voice suddenly sank.

"I just received a message that Liu Qianjun, Hua Zhilan and Ning Feng met secretly in Qushui Town."

Xiang Chen was stunned: "These three people have never gotten along. Why did they get together?"

Xiang Lijian said: "There is only one reason, that is, the ranking of the top four counties' martial arts competition."

Xiang Chen's eyes flickered: "Do they think that they can determine the ranking by discussing behind closed doors?"

Xiang Lijian said: "If these three people work together, this may not be impossible!"

Xiang Chen smiled lightly: "It's a pity that they didn't expect that our Xiang family had already made arrangements. After all, they were one step behind."

Xiang Lijian also laughed: "This time, thanks to the secret help of the third prince, otherwise the result is really unpredictable!"

Bu Yi's heart beat violently when she heard it.

The crown prince of the Dawu Dynasty has not yet been appointed, and the third prince is a strong candidate for the position. I didn't expect that the Xiang family actually had a connection with the third prince...

Moreover, the third prince actually intervened in the four-county martial arts competition in Jiangzuo!

"When will the third prince's envoy arrive?" Xiang Chen asked.

"I came here to tell you that the third prince's envoy will meet you in this Qiling Tower at midnight tonight. You should be prepared in advance!"

Xiang Lijian said, glancing at Bu Yi next to him.

"Xiaoyi, stay on guard in Chu Garden at that time! After all, you are a great help to Chen'er in the four-county martial arts competition, and you should know some things! I will evacuate all the other people around!"

Bu Yi was shocked and said cautiously: "Yes."

After explaining this matter, Xiang Lijian left Chu Garden.

Bu Yi looked at Xiang Chen curiously.

"Xiang Lang, what kind of envoy is this? So mysterious?"

Xiang Chen smiled mysteriously.

"You'll know then."

It was hard to wait until midnight.

Buyi stood in the garden and looked forward to it.

Suddenly, a sound broke through the air.

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in front of her.

Bu Yi was taken aback, but her surprise immediately turned into fear - this man exuded a powerful aura that she had never encountered before, and he should at least be a strong man in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm!

"Welcome the special envoy!"

Buyi quickly lowered his head and saluted.

The special envoy ignored her and walked straight into the Spirit-Qing Tower.

Buyi noticed that the special envoy was holding two large wooden boxes on his back, and he didn't know what was inside.

Bu Yi was waiting quietly outside Qiling Tower.

Not long after, the special envoy came out again.

Also ignoring Bu Yi, he jumped into the sky and disappeared into the vast night in an instant.

Buyi walked into Qiling Tower and saw Xiang Chen standing quietly in the tower, with the two large boxes brought by the special envoy in front of him.

"Xiang Lang, the special envoy is here to deliver things? What exactly is here?"

Xiang Chen smiled and asked, "Do you know why I didn't go to the treasure tasting conference?"

"Isn't it to learn the Tianxing Sword Technique?" Bu Yi asked doubtfully.

"There are three reasons, and this is just one of them."

"The second is to deliberately fade out of people's sight and give the limelight to Liu Qianjun, Hua Zhilan, and Ning Feng."

"Thirdly, I have an agreement with the Third Prince that he will lend me two Ouchi treasures to help me win the championship in the Four Counties Martial Arts Competition! And these two Ouchi treasures are from the Treasure Appraisal Conference. No other treasure can match it!”

With that said, Xiang Chen opened the two boxes at the same time.

Suddenly, a dazzling light illuminated the tower.

Bu Yi's whole body was shaking violently.

"This is?"

"Eighth Grade Heavenly Thunder Sword!"

Xiang Chen took out a sword surrounded by lightning from one of the boxes.

"Eighth-grade Shuiyun Silk Armor!"

He took out a silk armor as white as snow from another box.

Two eighth-grade treasures!

Buyi's eyes widened, but she was filled with surprise.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly unconsciously.

She regained her confidence for the first time since returning from the treasure tasting conference.

Lu Yu, do you think it’s great to have Feihong Sword and Fire Scale Armor?

Soon, the facts will prove that you are nothing more than a fleas after all!

My original choice was right!
