School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1807 - 1893: Unexpected Change

Once the Tongtian Five Elders had finished their explanations, they observed Chen Nan and noted the absence of overt anger on his face. Instead, a subtle smile graced his lips, which felt like a reprieve to them. Their greatest anxiety was that Chen Nan might react with displeasure and choose to confront them about the day's events. As it stood, it appeared the immediate crisis had been averted.

With this understanding, the resolution of today's affairs seemed considerably more manageable.

While the Tongtian Five Elders were engaged in attempts to curry favor with Chen Nan, the Black Feathered Chicken, Fire Qilin, and Chu Wenrou were busy taunting the eight cultivators from the Golden Sword Sect.

The Black Feathered Chicken, in particular, was relentless, pecking and scratching. Had the Tongtian Five Elders not deliberately muffled the screams of the Golden Sword Sect cultivators, the commotion would undoubtedly have drawn the attention of every demon beast and cultivator in Lingxiao City.

"Chen Nan, do you know these five old men?"

The Black Feathered Chicken posed the question with a surprisingly devoid-of-mercy tone, having just approached the Tongtian Five Elders for assistance as if it shared a deep connection with every element of Demon God Mountain.

In truth, following their last confrontation with Chen Nan, the Tongtian Five Elders had been confined to the Punishment Cave by Bai Shisi. True to the saying, "a new broom sweeps clean," upon receiving word from the Black Feathered Chicken about disturbances in the city, they had promptly intervened, dealing with the uncourteous Heavenly Lord of the Golden Sword Sect.

Upon realizing the Black Feathered Chicken's apparent connection to Chen Nan, the Tongtian Five Elders felt a surge of secret relief.

They had personally witnessed the discussions between Bai Shisi, Old Ninth, and Cang Yue.

Demon God Mountain boasted fourteen formidable figures, and with the master of Demon God Mountain protecting Chen Nan, he was clearly not an individual to be trifled with. In recent days, they had been anxious about Bai Shisi possibly holding them accountable for their past arrogance.

Bai Shisi, ranked fourteenth among the formidable figures of Demon God Mountain, possessed a uniquely capricious temperament. While he offered protection and a facade of support to outsiders, he showed no leniency to those who truly erred.

Consequently, among the fourteen formidable figures of Demon God Mountain, Bai Shisi, despite his lower rank, commanded respect from everyone within Demon God Mountain.

Thus, when encountering Demon God Mountain during Bai Shisi's tenure, outsiders were met with unyielding resistance; however, in private, they harbored a measure of apprehension towards him.

"Hehe, acquaintances all. When I broke through to the Heavenly Lord realm on Demon God Mountain, their assistance was instrumental," Chen Nan chuckled, withholding the crucial details of their help.

The Tongtian Five Elders appeared visibly embarrassed, a blush coloring their aged faces. "Brother Chen, you flatter us. Your presence in our Demon God Mountain truly elevates Lingxiao City. If anything catches your eye, do speak up, haha, and we shall gladly assist in its appraisal."

Chen Nan smiled, "Your positions within the Punishment Cave, if my memory serves, were assigned by Bai Shisi, correct?"

Chen Nan's words struck a chord, leaving the Tongtian Five Elders exchanging bewildered glances. This time, excluding those in seclusion, all fourteen formidable figures were present at Lingxiao Pavilion. The treasure appraisal conference coincidentally aligned with Demon God Mountain's millennial celebration, naturally enhancing the vibrancy of the occasion. Those not in seclusion seized this chance to bolster the reputation of Demon God Mountain throughout the Star Domain.

"This... how did Brother Chen ascertain this?"

A hint of disdain flickered in Chen Nan's eyes. "You five have accumulated far more years than I, yet why do you fail to grasp Bai Shisi's intentions? You previously wielded your authority to oppress others. Bai Shisi has now assigned you custodial duties as a disciplinary measure, strictly enjoining loyalty to your roles and demanding constant self-awareness."

These five elder figures, though potent in cultivation, possessed a mindset less developed than that of a middle school student from Earth.

"Ah, so that's how it is. Brother Chen, as you've illuminated, we now see the truth."

Upon hearing Chen Nan's explanation, the Tongtian Five Elders felt a significant weight lift from their shoulders, releasing anxieties they had carried for days. Bai Shisi's rationale, it seemed, was precisely as Brother Chen had described. They had long been perplexed by the underlying reasons.

Chen Nan's candidness fostered a greater warmth from the Tongtian Five Elders: "Brother Chen, within our Lingxiao City, we boast not only the most exquisite culinary talents but also the most exceptional ladies. They are all transformed Spiritual Foxes, possessed of incredible beauty and unparalleled allure..."

"Ahem!"

Chen Nan cast a sideways glance towards Chu Wenrou, who was observing him from a distance. A curse escaped Chen Nan's lips internally; Chu Wenrou had clearly overheard their conversation and was now fixing her gaze upon him.

The Tongtian Five Elders, a group of truly peculiar old men, only took notice when Chen Nan let out a cough. It was then that something amiss became apparent to them. Coincidentally, at this very moment, Su Qingqing, Liu Tiantian, and Huo Xinya arrived, accompanied by Ji Yueshen, the steward of Treasure Pavilion.

A sense of awkwardness settled upon the Tongtian Five Elders. Young Master Chen Nan, during his time at Demon God Mountain, had never been seen with women. Yet now, he was surrounded by so many – truly a man blessed with fortune. With the exception of the shortest one, each companion was indeed a breathtaking beauty.

Their old hearts, far from being decrepit, throbbed with envy as they regarded Chen Nan.

"Ahem, Brother Chen," the leader of the Five Elders spoke up, his mind quickly grasping an opportunity. "Compared to the alluring ladies by your side, the Spiritual Fox appears rather bland. Why not indulge in the culinary artistry of Chef Xiong at our Lingxiao Restaurant? His creations, whether meat or vegetarian, are simply unparalleled."

With Chen Nan gracing them with his presence, it was imperative they host him with utmost hospitality. This would reflect favorably upon them when they eventually encountered the Young Master. Although the Young Master possessed a somewhat mischievous nature, his father held the esteemed position of Master of Demon God Mountain. Any genuine offense incurred could lead to unforeseen repercussions.

"During past millennium celebrations," one of the elders mused, "Old Ninth and the others never lingered in Lingxiao Pavilion for such extended periods. This time, who knows what truly concerns them. Let us dine while we await developments."

After entrusting the eight men from Golden Sword Sect to their subordinates, the Tongtian Five Elders swiftly guided Chen Nan and his companions to the Lingxiao Restaurant.

The location of Lingxiao Restaurant was an unexpected delight for Chen Nan; it was situated within a pavilion perched atop the city walls. While it didn't reach the dizzying heights of Lingxiao Pavilion, the panoramic view it offered was magnificent, with nearly every alcove providing a secluded spot.

"Both Demon God Mountain and Lingxiao City are remarkable locales. During my journey here, I sensed a profound instability in a particular region, accompanied by immense fluctuations in energy. I wonder if the predecessors of Demon God Mountain have taken note of this phenomenon?"

Chen Nan's recollection was directly sparked by the Tongtian Five Elders' recounting of the peculiar activities of Demon God Mountain's influential figures. As he had traveled towards this place, passing the outskirts of Demon God Mountain, a specific expanse of the Void had appeared close to tearing asunder.

Within it seemed to lie an immensely terrifying power. Even a mere brush of Chen Nan's Divine Sense against it conveyed the sheer horror it contained.

"Brother Chen, your astute observation commands our utmost admiration," the elders responded. "That spatial anomaly has indeed captured the attention of Demon God Mountain's formidable figures. However, with Cang Yue diligently overseeing matters, any ensuing changes should remain manageable. As for whether their presence within Lingxiao Pavilion is connected to this unfolding situation, that remains an uncertainty."

The Five Elders expressed surprise, having never anticipated Chen Nan connecting these two disparate events.

As their lively conversation continued, the waiters at Lingxiao Restaurant began to serve the eagerly awaited dishes.

But precisely at that moment, a deafening roar reverberated throughout Lingxiao City. A lightning bolt, resembling a celestial dragon, slashed across the sky above the entire ancient metropolis, causing the very city to appear as though it were quaking.
