Divine King of Honour

As Xu Nian and Chen Xifeng were analyzing the contestant information for this session's Academy competition, the Governor Mansion at the center of Tianfeng City unexpectedly welcomed an unanticipated guest.

This person rode on a majestic black leopard, with a somewhat chubby figure and a youthful appearance—who else could it be but Chen Wudi.

The people on the streets retreated in fright upon seeing the formidable leopard, each of them exclaiming in admiration.

Seeing the young man, the faces of the guards at the Governor Mansion revealed expressions of utmost surprise and joy.

"Quick... go inform the young lady, tell her the young master has returned," one guard said to another, and the other immediately dashed inside the mansion.

Chen Wudi paid no attention to the two guards; instead, he was gnawing on a beast leg he had procured from who knows where and lamented as he looked at the grand gates of the Governor Mansion, "Ah, flying on Flying Demon Beasts really is faster. It's incredible I arrived a whole night later than them, but at least I didn't miss the opportunity."

Chen Wudi chuckled, leaped off the black leopard, and marched straight into the mansion.

The guard followed behind Chen Wudi, brimming with respect and beaming with smiles.

Onlookers in the distance couldn't help but inwardly sigh with wonder; the guards at the Governor Mansion were usually icy and fierce, ready to draw their blades at anyone who approached, extremely stern. This pleasing and smiling demeanor was a sight they had never seen before.

In the guard's mind, however, nothing was amiss. The young man before him was the only son of the Lord Governor, the future sole heir of the Governor Mansion. Who else should he curry favor with, if not him?

"Chen Wudi, you actually know to come back!" Just then, an extremely pleasant voice called out from afar. Find adventures at empire

Following that, a stunningly beautiful figure walked up next to Chen Wudi, grabbed his ear, and scolded sternly, "Humph, tell me where you've been these past months, do you know how hard it was for me to find you?"

"Ow... it hurts, sis, let go, please let go!" Chen Wudi quickly begged for mercy.

He knew his sister was someone who was more responsive to a soft approach rather than a hard one, so he immediately resorted to pleading.

Sure enough, the stunningly beautiful woman loosened Chen Wudi's ear and demanded sternly, "Tell me, where have you been these past months? Do you realize how worried dad and I were?"

Chen Wudi rubbed his ear and laughed, "Heh heh, sister, don't be angry right away, I did it all for you, that's why I left home."

"For me, for me what?" The beautiful woman was stunned, but what Chen Wudi said next made her absolutely livid.

"I went to find a husband for you, of course. Sis, you're so violent, I obviously had to find a brother-in-law to manage you, to save me from your bullying," Chen Wudi shamelessly retorted.

"I'll smack you!" The beautiful woman was instantly enraged and kicked Chen Wudi's backside.

Chen Wudi howled in pain, rubbing his backside and looking at the beautiful woman with a look of pitiful grievance.

"Tell me, where did you actually go?" the beautiful woman demanded sternly.

Chen Wudi dared not conceal any longer and said, "I didn't go anywhere dangerous. I've been staying at Qinglin Academy this whole time."

"Really?" The beautiful woman was somewhat incredulous.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the Dean of Qinglin Academy. They are now at Tianhen Academy," Chen Wudi hurriedly said.

The breathtakingly beautiful woman, upon hearing Chen Wudi speak without any hint of deception, finally nodded and said, "What are you doing at Qinglin Academy? If you want to study at an academy, I can arrange for you to enter Tianhen Academy. Why go so far away?"

"Didn't I just say? I'm looking for a brother-in-law for myself, Sister, and I tell you, I've found one. He's very suitable for you. Although he's four years younger than you, he's a really good person with an exceptional talent. You'll definitely like him... Ah... Sister, you're kicking my butt again!" Chen Wudi exclaimed.

"Hmph, not only do I want to kick your butt, but I also want to smack your mouth for spouting such nonsense. Don't you run away!" The stunning woman chased after Chen Wudi.

If Xu Nian were here, he would be extremely surprised.

Because he actually knew this ravishing woman; who else could she be if not Chen Yao, whom he had encountered by the waterfall in the Demon Beast Forest?

...

Xu Nian was unaware that the woman he had seen undressed in the Demon Beast Forest was the daughter of the Prefectural Governor, nor did he expect her to be Chen Wudi's sister.

At this moment, he seemed to have run into a bit of trouble, or rather, a situation that others might view as exceedingly tantalizing.

When Xu Nian and Chen Xifeng walked out of the courtyard gate, planning to visit Tianhen Academy, it just so happened that two young women also walked out from the courtyard across from them.

Both of the young women were around twenty years old. One of them was strikingly attractive, draped in a pale red dress, seductively charming, someone who could easily make it onto the Beauty List at Qinglin Academy, and rank quite high at that.

However, Xu Nian's gaze lingered more on the other woman, who was clad in a simple white dress, her face veiled, revealing only a pair of eyes. Her aura was ethereal, like that of a celestial being, evoking a sense that she was beyond the mundane world.

Xu Nian's surprise stemmed from his inability to discern this woman's cultivation level; moreover, his Spiritual Sense couldn't penetrate her veil, a predicament he had never encountered before.

The veiled woman seemed to sense Xu Nian's probing, as her bright eyes turned to look at him.

In that moment, Xu Nian felt a trace of bewilderment but quickly regained his composure.

"Spiritual Sense Attack!" Xu Nian's heart jolted, and he looked at the veiled woman in shock.

However, the veiled woman seemed to ignore Xu Nian, leaving him behind as she walked away with the seductive woman in pale red.

Xu Nian stood there, dumbfounded, feeling somewhat perplexed.

"What's the matter? Got mesmerized? They are the Tianlan Academy students that group from Donglin College was coveting earlier. The one in the white dress is said to be Lin Ruolan, the top beauty of Tianlan Academy. Doesn't she enchant you?" Chen Xifeng joked, noticing Xu Nian's stunned expression.

Xu Nian shook his head nonchalantly but his gaze towards the white-dressed woman's departing figure became more solemn.

If the move that woman had just used was indeed a Spiritual Sense Attack, then she must have, like him, unlocked the Mud Ball Palace.

...

Xu Nian's heart raced with excitement, whereas the white-dressed woman also felt a flicker of astonishment.

"Interesting, she is into Spirit Body Dual Cultivation and her constitution seems quite remarkable too. It seems that this time, apart from Zhao Yan, there's another appealing prey. I wonder what the taste would be like?" The woman, who initially appeared ethereal, now had a hint of seduction and greed in her eyes.

If anyone could see her face under the veil at that moment, they would be shocked, for her skin was wrinkled like that of an eighty-year-old crone.
