Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1055 - 527: Blood Race Stirring (Happy New Year to Book Friends!)

"Whoosh!"

With an angry flick of his sleeve, he entered with a displeased expression.

...

Inside the carriage.

Chen Xuan suddenly burst into laughter.

If it weren’t for Lin Fei, he wouldn’t have gone. They actually wanted to win him over.

They even laid out a grand vision for him.

This was the very reason he disliked Qin Hong, and the princes were no different.

Far too ambitious!

He didn't like that one bit.

Furthermore, he had no desire to be entangled in the struggle for the throne.

"But it’s nearly time, isn’t it?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

He had previously learned from the Chief Eunuch that the assault on the Stone Cave was indeed Emperor Yu's directive, with Duke Yuan merely acting as the instigator.

All of this was orchestrated to eliminate the Ten Great Dangerous Lands.

Only by removing these distractions could he proceed with the final step unhindered.

Moreover, Liu Sheng had surmised that this wouldn't take much longer.

...

The following morning.

Chen Xuan visited Liu Sheng as usual. The moment he entered the courtyard, he saw Liu Sheng standing alone, his gaze fixed on the rising sun.

"Why are you standing out here alone, sir?"

He moved forward to assist Liu Sheng, reaching out a hand, "No need, I can move now. If I stayed lying down any longer, I’d become one with the bed."

Nevertheless, Chen Xuan still channeled some Spiritual Power into Liu Sheng’s body, conducting a thorough examination.

A few moments later!

"Hmm, not bad. You can move around a little now."

While his internal organs had fully regenerated, they remained exceedingly delicate. The severed meridians and damaged dantian would require a bit more time.

However, with the continued infusion of Spiritual Liquid, it was only a matter of time.

"I told you I was almost recovered, but you wouldn't believe me."

Liu Sheng cast a sideways glance at Chen Xuan, a smile gracing his features.

This was partly because he truly hadn't chosen the wrong person; Chen Xuan's diligent care over these past days had deeply comforted him.

Additionally, he could finally leave his bed and walk again.

"It's wonderful that you're feeling better."

"But you still need to exercise caution. Though your internal organs have seen some healing, they remain quite fragile after such severe injuries."

Chen Xuan offered a reminder.

"Understood!"

Liu Sheng didn't argue. "Rest assured, this old man has no intention of dying just yet. There are still numerous matters awaiting my attention!"

"By the way, sir, what are your thoughts on Lin Fei?"

"Hmm?"

Liu Sheng arched an eyebrow, observing him with curiosity before posing his question. "Why the sudden mention of Lin Fei?"

Chen Xuan recounted the events of the previous day.

"Hmm, Lin Fei is precisely that sort of person. She neither seeks conflict nor vies for position. To be frank, I rather admire her demeanor."

"Then, sir, who do you believe will ultimately claim that position?"

Chen Xuan's question was startling.

Even Liu Sheng's expression shifted slightly.

He then admonished, "You have quite the audacity to inquire about such a matter!"

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan simply offered a light chuckle instead. "Isn't it precisely because I'm asking in your presence, sir?"

"Qin Hong presented a grand vision to me yesterday; honestly, it's difficult for a common person to refuse such an offer!"

"Yet you still refused, didn't you? You mischievous boy, still feigning innocence before me."

Liu Sheng was well aware of Chen Xuan's true character.

A pie in the sky?

Not even a dog would bother with such a thing.

Besides, it was Qin Hong who concocted this scheme.

In his estimation, that particular position held virtually no connection to Chen Xuan.

Perceiving Chen Xuan's subtle shift, he continued to probe, "Does the Chief Eunuch believe Qin Hong has no chance of securing the position?"

"Virtually no hope!"

"His foundation is far too weak. Regardless of his background, talent, or strength, he falls significantly short, even when compared to Qin Junmo, let alone Qin Tiandao."

"What a pity."

Liu Sheng let out a sudden sigh.

"He's to be pitied?"

Chen Xuan appeared puzzled. Was there truly no hope at all? What was there to pity?

"Foolish!"

"What I pity is Qin Ying. It's a shame she is a woman; otherwise, that position would undoubtedly be hers."

Liu Sheng shook his head.

"That position isn't all that desirable."

Chen Xuan shrugged his shoulders.

"Within the Royal Family, one's fate is not entirely in their own hands. To fail in the competition often means death; it's far more complex than you perceive."

"Not everyone is like you, free from worldly desires!"

This very quality was one of the reasons he held Chen Xuan in such high regard.

"Very well, you shall not involve yourself in this affair. Let those younger ones engage in their bloody struggle!"

Of course, even with this advice given.

The ultimate decision still rested with Emperor Yu, and that was contingent upon his successful execution of the final step. Without it, the occupant of that position remained uncertain.

"The Empress!"

The word suddenly sprang into Liu Sheng's mind!

It wasn't an impossibility!

...

Qin Hong arrived at Duke Qin's Mansion.

"Duke Qin, Prince Xuan has refused! Unless the Chief Eunuch agrees."

Duke Qin's expression turned grim.

It was no surprise that the prince, so favored by Liu Sheng, possessed the same arrogance, directly refusing his overtures. Very well!

Qin Hong remained seated, his heart seething with anger, yet he dared not voice a word.

A considerable time passed.

"You may take your leave for now. Do not speak of this to anyone!"

"Rest assured, my lord!"

Qin Hong rose to his feet. As the head of the Three Dukes, to be rebuffed by a mere prince would surely lead to unpleasant gossip if it were to become public knowledge.

However, just as he departed Duke Qin's Mansion, Duke Yuan arrived, his expression grave.

Even Duke Yuan, typically a mere figurehead, offered only a slight nod to Qin Hong before hastening inside.

"Something significant has occurred!"

For Duke Yuan to display such a stern, almost flustered, countenance, it could only signify an event of immense importance.

Upon leaving Duke Qin's Mansion, he immediately dispatched an investigator.

"What?"

"You claim the Blood Race within the Blood Cry Realm is stirring once more?"

Duke Qin's countenance turned ashen. This region had enjoyed a period of calm for such a short time before unrest resurfaced. But this was illogical; all ten Great Dangerous Lands were supposed to be in turmoil simultaneously to exert pressure on Great Yu.

Yet, now, the other dangerous lands remained quiescent. Did the Blood Race harbor intentions of breaching the confines of the Blood Cry Realm?
