"Within Qingzhou, are there any Immortal Sects?"

Chen Yuan asked again.

While Su Ziyue was still around, he needed to learn more; otherwise, once she left, he wouldn't be able to actively seek her out.

Nanling Prefecture was, after all, still a remote corner.

"Qingzhou doesn't have any Immortal Sect-level forces, but there are a few top powers," Su Ziyue said softly, her red lips parting. Even without doing anything, she still exuded considerable allure in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully. His mind wandered, even wondering if the Dao God Palace was supporting Jiang He to come to Qingzhou to develop his power for that reason.

However, these were just speculations. He wasn't an official member of the Dao God Palace yet, and Su Ziyue wouldn't tell him so many secrets.

He was already satisfied that she was willing to explain a few things to him.

"As far as I know, you seem to have a grudge with the Qingyun Sword Sect?" Before Chen Yuan could continue asking questions, Su Ziyue asked.

She had realized that whenever she interacted with Chen Yuan, he would have a whole host of questions waiting for her, as if he were full of curiosity and wanted to get some secrets of the martial world from her.

"An accidental feud, now it should be over..."

With Liu Changkong dead, Chen Yuan no longer had any enemies in the Qingyun Sword Sect, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that he might have some senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, or junior sisters who would avenge him.

He was actually prepared for this kind of situation where one person comes, and then a whole group follows.

"That's good..."

"Miss Su, Chen has another question."

"What else do you want to know?" Su Ziyue glared at Chen Yuan, annoyed. She knew he had another question to ask. This guy, instead of appreciating a beauty like her, insisted on asking so many other questions.

He was really... clueless.

"Miss Su said the Ten Great Immortal Sects are powerful. How do they compare to the imperial court?"

From what he knew, the imperial court was weak, beset by internal and external troubles, and its control over various regions was far from what it used to be.

But he had no real measure of the court's true strength.

"The imperial court..." Su Ziyue murmured:

"If the court could be united, with millions of soldiers suppressing everything, it would be as solid as a rock, unless all the forces in the world rebelled together, but now..."

There seemed to be a hint of mockery in her voice:

"Now it's already showing signs of disintegration. The Great Jin royal family only has complete control over Central Province. As for the other regional kings, the less said, the better."

"Each of the Ten Great Immortal Sects has the strength to wreak havoc in one area. However, the old emperor isn't stupid. He has ties to several righteous Immortal Sects.

Back when the Great Jin was founded..."

She opened her mouth, but Su Ziyue didn't continue.

Leaving Chen Yuan, who was listening with great interest, feeling unsatisfied. Saying half a sentence was like having half your fun cut short.

He liked hearing this kind of news the most. Even if it wasn't entirely accurate, it could still serve as a reference for his judgment of the world situation.

In truth, Chen Yuan embarked on the path of an imperial official entirely to find a backer for himself so he could cultivate in peace.

If there ever came a day when he no longer needed the imperial court, he certainly wouldn't raise the banner of rebellion, but he would definitely establish his own power and control a region.

As the saying goes, a true man should stand tall between heaven and earth; how can he live under another's thumb forever?

Don't talk about gratitude; what gratitude does the Great Jin royal family owe him? He had gotten to where he was today through his own efforts. Besides, he had also made contributions.

Of course, that day was still far off for him now. His Dan Realm cultivation was not enough to support his independence.

"You'll know the rest in the future. For now, just climb the ladder honestly. With Jiang He protecting you, your path will be much easier than most."

Su Ziyue waved her hand. The movement caused her ample chest to sway slightly.

Giving it a casual glance, Chen Yuan naturally withdrew his gaze. However, his quick look was noticed by the perceptive Su Ziyue.

But instead of feeling shy or angry, she deliberately puffed out her chest and teased: "What is Lord Chen looking at?"

"Nothing." Chen Yuan quickly shook his head.

Su Ziyue could tease him with her strength, but he couldn't do the same. What if Su Ziyue got angry and beat him up? Who would he complain to?

He was still weak now. When his cultivation caught up with or even surpassed Su Ziyue, Chen Yuan would have his revenge.

At that time, he would definitely let this woman know what true 'Pressure Point Jujutsu' was.

He had practiced it a lot in his previous life.

"A big man being all shy and awkward. So what if you looked? Am I going to eat you?" Su Ziyue chuckled and snorted.

Chen Yuan thought, "That's not certain."

Seeing Su Ziyue's charming demeanor, he was afraid she could eat him without leaving a single drop.

"Everyone loves beauty. Miss Su is gorgeous, and I'm just an ordinary man. How could I be an exception?" He said with a straight face.

"Is that so?"

Su Ziyue's alluring eyes roamed over Chen Yuan, with no hint of shyness on her face. Instead, she generously accepted Chen Yuan's compliment.

"Isn't it?" Chen Yuan asked back.

"Then... do you want to possess me?"

Su Ziyue's expression suddenly turned serious.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyelids:

"Chen only admires, and has no interest in women."

His deliberately hesitant answer made a flash of satisfaction appear in Su Ziyue's eyes, and she said lightly, "Then what about Shen Yanshu?"

Chen Yuan's expression changed almost imperceptibly, and he frowned and asked:

"Are you spying on me?"

"I just happened to see it before."

"Chen is doing it for cultivation."

Although he was unhappy about Su Ziyue spying on him, he didn't show it. And his displeasure wasn't because Su Ziyue had discovered his connection with Shen Yanshu.

It was because he felt that his alertness and investigative abilities were too weak. If someone harbored ill intentions towards him, he wouldn't even have the power to retaliate.

"That doesn't sound like a lie. Shen Yanshu possesses the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body, which is indeed an excellent furnace. Your cultivation has increased so rapidly; I imagine she has contributed a lot to it, right?"

Although it was a question, Su Ziyue was very certain.

However, this sentence gave Chen Yuan an excuse for his rapid increase in cultivation, and he directly said to Su Ziyue: "Miss Su is right. She has indeed contributed a lot."

"But isn't this mutually beneficial? Shen Yanshu has also gained a lot of benefits from me."

"You're quite frank?"

"The affairs of men and women are the laws of the universe. What can't be said?" Chen Yuan said calmly. He hadn't forced her. Both parties were acting voluntarily.

Not to mention in this world, even if he were caught by the police in his previous world, he would still be confident and justified.

Su Ziyue stared straight at Chen Yuan's handsome and fair face, and felt inexplicably irritable. However, this feeling was only fleeting, and even she herself didn't notice it.

"Alright, what needs to be said has been said, and what needs to be given has been given. If there's nothing else, quickly set off for the Yuan Kong Realm."

"Okay, Chen takes his leave."

Although he didn't know why Su Ziyue's face had changed so quickly, when she had just been teasing him, and suddenly became cold, he didn't want to delve into it.

This woman, Su Ziyue, seemed charming and alluring, but he always felt that she had an unusually dangerous aura. It was best not to provoke her.

He didn't even know the other party's strength. The two were not equal at all.

Putting away the Yuan Kong Token and the two talismans, Chen cupped his fists. "Thank you for your explanation today, Miss Su. Chen will take his leave."

After saying that, he nodded slightly, turned around, opened the door, and left directly, without any hesitation.

Only Su Ziyue was left in the room, staring intently at his back, her eyes deep. She snorted softly, and the ancient jade stone resembling a mirror that she had disappeared earlier appeared in her hand.

She faintly transmitted her voice into it:

"This child has extraordinary talent. He should have a spiritual body. He looks a bit like the previous Heavenly Sword Dao Lord. Cultivate him well, and the Dao God Palace may have another Dao Lord. Moreover, according to my observation, this person has great ambitions, completely different from the Jiang fellow. In the future, he may be able to completely control Qingzhou."

About a breath later, a cold voice came from inside:

"Su Ziyue, what do you mean?"

"Oh, so Envoy Jiang Jin has been guarding the Heavenly Book all along."

"Alright, you two are also Dao Lords and Grandmasters of the Dan Realm. Why do you have to bicker every time you meet?" Suddenly, a clear and cold female voice rang out.

"Isn't it because the Jiang fellow betrayed my sister back then?" Su Ziyue snorted softly.

"I've said it many times. I'm focused on cultivation and have no interest in women," Jiang He's voice was still cold, like eternal ice.

"What about Chen Yuan's character?"

A deep male voice came from the 'Heavenly Book' artifact in Su Ziyue's hand.

Su Ziyue's expression became serious: "According to my investigation, although this child is ruthless, he is also loyal and values relationships. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given him your Yuan Kong Token."

"That's good. We must not accept a heartless, ungrateful person," the deep male voice rang out.

"Let me take on this task. I'll see what this person's character is like," Jiang He's voice came out.

"Then we'll leave it to Dao Brother Tianjian," the clear female voice was like a fairy.

"Sister Suqing, do you want a disciple with a Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body? As long as you open your mouth, I'll send her to you in a few days," Su Ziyue suddenly said, as if she had thought of something.

The woman called Sister Suqing by Su Ziyue smiled and said, "Then send her over."

"Okay."

"Seven Emotions Dao Lord, before you..."
