Chapter 980: Chapter 541: Chen, the Man Who Shook the Capital! (Part 3)
But Jingtai must know something.
He inherently dislikes Sima Ke with a prejudiced disdain, even if Sima Ke performs exceptionally well, it probably wouldn’t make much of a difference unless Jingtai is someone with a broad-minded demeanor.
He doesn’t care if his woman is touched by his son.
In Duke Wuwei Mansion, Sima Ke stayed for quite a while before reluctantly leaving, truly enjoying the scene when Chen Yuan plotted for him.
It seemed as if the throne of Crown Prince was already beckoning him.
Ugh, with his handsome appearance and impressive reputation, who speaks so eloquently, he suddenly felt that Chen Yuan himself possessed an enormous charm.
No wonder the mother-consort couldn’t resist.
Who could withstand it!
He’s simply the perfect man in the eyes of women.
And who knows what’s up with the royal sister, who adamantly refused, could it be that she’s pretending?
Does she not want to get involved with him?
In any case, Sima Ke feels that even though the royal sister is quite formidable, she is still far inferior to Chen Yuan. Without the status of Princess, she wouldn’t be worthy of him.
After sending Sima Ke away, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the room, deep in thought.
Food should be eaten bite by bite, and matters should be handled one by one.
The rebellion is something that can’t be rushed now.
His power is still somewhat low, his influence somewhat weak.
If his cultivation reached the Yang God, Chen Yuan would definitely seize the opportunity to ignite chaos and resurrect Chu. Though in name, he wouldn’t use the Xiang family’s reputation.
Isn’t the former Great General of the Chen Family also a good choice?
He has no interest in changing names, especially when it comes to the Xiang family.
The previous betrayal by Xiang Lingtian is a grievance not yet avenged.
His strategy is to seek out individuals with Qi Fortune while steadily enhancing his cultivation and expanding his influence.
To make other Daoists in the Taoist Divine Palace willingly submit to him.
There shouldn’t be much issue with Jiang He, as he had promised Jiang He to raid Shangjing City to capture women, and there shouldn’t be any problem with Su Ziyue either. Eventually, he will win over this little beauty.
Moluo’s stance, however, is unclear, the counterpart hasn’t expressed any intentions.
Chu Changfeng, Yang Huatian, and Li Suqing remain a challenge.
Yang Huatian is himself an established powerhouse, with a notorious name in the Southern Border, and inherently hard to tame. Li Suqing as the Great Elder of Goddess Palace holds a revered position with considerable influence.
Most importantly, Chu Changfeng, among the Taoist Divine Palace’s Daoists, was the only one who started from scratch to establish a top sect, bearing great ambition.
He commands tremendous respect among the Taoists of the Taoist Divine Palace.
He’s even not too far from the Yang God, nearly on par with the Heavenly Divine Envoy Xiao Jing.
How could such people willingly submit to the latest Daoist like him?
There is a long way to go!
Chen Yuan exhaled deeply, closed his eyes, and began cultivating.
Regardless of time or place, cultivation is most important because it’s the greatest reliance of a Martial Artist.
…
…
A night passed without words.
Chen Yuan repeated the previous actions, undergoing intense cultivation throughout the night.
His cultivation didn’t change much; the cultivation itself requires accumulation over time, where quantitative changes lead to qualitative shifts.
Sima Ke was right before, Chen Yuan’s return to the Capital stirred up quite a commotion across various factions on the first day. They dared not disturb him rashly.
However, on the second day, invitations and letters arrived early morning at Duke Wuwei Mansion.
There were nobles from the Capital, key figures in the court, numerous princes, and even Princess Pingyang who was always aloof; they all sent invitations almost simultaneously.
The present is different from the past; although Chen Yuan’s reputation was significant before, worthy of the attention, it hadn’t yet fully converted into strength.
No one knew if he might turn into a fallen genius, forever trapped in the Core Realm.
Therefore, although he was important, and often invited, the situation wasn’t as grand as now.
Now, Chen Yuan shocked the world with his achievements, reputation as high as the clouds, turning potential into power, becoming a genuine Fifth Realm Yang Transformation powerhouse.
Regarding his ennoblement, the matter has caused quite a stir in the Capital.
A definite influential figure.
It seems as though his rise is imminent, like a great roc soaring nine thousand miles.
How could various factions neglect to attract such a figure?
Even forming mere amicable ties would be good.
Yet facing these friendly gestures arriving in succession, Chen Yuan remained unmoved. Standing at a higher position, the goodwill was normal, but he wouldn’t be swayed by it.
He wrote replies with goodwill to those of the same level or even higher, yet didn’t accept invitations nor open doors to host them.
He has other matters to attend to, and such praise and goodwill need to be suppressed.
He’s not too arrogant.
In times like these, when titles and status aren’t entirely secured, Chen Yuan wouldn’t be overconfident.
As the saying goes, significant achievements can threaten the ruler.
He might not be there yet, but being cautious is wise.
Who knows what that green-haired turtle Jingtai might think?
After declining their goodwill, Chen Yuan directly headed to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, to meet Gu Tianqiong, aside from his position, he intended to present another achievement.
Remnants of the former dynasty!
Earlier, when he went to Liangzhou, Gu Tianqiong assigned him this task, and now he’s successfully completed it, deserving of recognition. The inheritance of a former dynasty’s remnant should certainly please him.
Simultaneously, it conveyed a dutiful impression to the green-haired Jingtai.
Upon arriving again at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, the patrol guards at the door dared not obstruct him. Just seeing his face, remembering the Capital’s upheaval, they bowed down:
“Greetings to Master Chen!”
Chen Yuan responded with a smile, instructing them to go announce his arrival, entering directly.
His return caused a significant disturbance at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau headquarters in the Capital.
Wherever Chen Yuan ventured, it seemed like the place was bound to shake.
