Chen Xuan speculated that Chief Eunuch Liu Sheng's words hinted at an upcoming request, owing to past favors including the winged dragon beast. After sharing drinks with Qin Ke and an intense night with Lan Meng’er, he journeyed through the space rift to the Imperial City with son Xiaoqi. Chen Xuan scolded Xiaoqi for arrogance and sloppy cultivation, demonstrating superior divine footwork while pondering a proper teacher for the boy. They arrived at the Ritual Department, where guards granted immediate entry to meet Liu Sheng as pre-arranged.

"What on earth could it be?"

Chen Xuan mulled over this puzzle continuously as he stepped into the Ritual Department.

By the time they arrived in the main hall, Liu Sheng sat there silently, awaiting their arrival.

"Greetings, Chief Eunuch Liu!"

He shot a glance at Xiaoqi.

"Greetings, Grandpa Liu!"

Xiaoqi caught on instantly, bowing with a bright smile.

"Your son... first time meeting him."

Liu Sheng hadn’t foreseen Chen Xuan bringing his boy.

However, the instant after, something felt wrong to him. His eyes bulged wide, a sharp glint burst forth, and briefly, the Ritual Department quivered.

"Gasp... incredible power!"

Inwardly, Chen Xuan marveled—no wonder he ranked among Great Yu’s elite.

No aura was released, yet it shook him to the core.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Liu Sheng regained his composure, though Chen Xuan clearly spotted the lingering shock in his eyes.

"Your son... Xiaoqi, yes? He surpasses you in strength!"

"Every generation eclipses the one before!"

Chen Xuan grinned involuntarily; praise from Liu Sheng came rarely.

Truthfully, since the Golden Dragon infused that energy, Xiaoqi transformed completely.

Absent the system, Xiaoqi would truly outmatch him.

"Wonder if time will suffice."

Regret tinged Liu Sheng’s voice.

His aptitude was utterly phenomenal.

At such tender years, Dao Realm achieved, Spirit Cultivation breakthrough imminent, physique sturdy, Jade Bone over halfway forged.

A prodigy of prodigies.

Given enough years, forging him into a peak powerhouse was certain.

Then... him, his father, and Qin Ying together—the prospect was dazzling beyond words.

"Damn it!"

Time alone was lacking now!

"Chief Eunuch?"

Chen Xuan softly called out upon seeing Liu Sheng lost in thought.

"Ah—"

"Oh!"

Liu Sheng snapped back abruptly.

This lapse stunned Chen Xuan; the mighty Ritual Department Chief Eunuch rarely lost his cool.

"Xiaoqi must have floored him."

Pride surged through Chen Xuan.

Which father wouldn’t beam over a son this mighty?

But...

He asked, "Chief Eunuch, what urgent business made you summon me?"

"Damn!"

"Nearly forgot the crucial part!"

Liu Sheng inwardly cursed.

Yet... he paused briefly. Chen Xuan remained his pick, unaltered, but Xiaoqi changed things... "Hold on, summoning Zhan Tian!"

Ignoring Chen Xuan’s response, he messaged directly: "Zhan Tian, come here now!"

"What’s it about? I’m tied up!"

Zhan Tian lately drowned in vexation, his temper flaring as he brutally hammered the Library Pavilion trio.

Ye Chen bore the worst of it!

He couldn’t grasp his fault; laziness wasn’t the issue.

Still, Zhan Tian struck relentlessly, filling him with injustice and despair.

Simply because he paled against Zhan Tian!

"Busy nonsense—rush here! Rare shot, miss it and regret not hearing from me."

He cut the link sharply.

Zhan Tian fumed in the Three Judicial Departments.

A mighty aura surged, terrifying the Library Pavilion three who braced for more thrashing.

Feeling it withdraw from the Three Judicial Departments, they exhaled deeply.

Ye Chen especially.

"Hell, did that old fart swallow bad pills?"

Acting deranged lately.

"What’s got Zhan Tian raging so?"

Bamboo Garden eased her eyes open.

She’d seen the beatings as stress relief before.

Forget the rest—Ye Chen was solid.

But he took the heaviest hits, bewildering her.

"I wonder about the teacher’s progress?"

Murmuring so, Bamboo Garden shut her eyes anew, one step from Dao realm’s fifth level—must hasten.

....

"What’s the big deal, old timer?"

Zhan Tian plunged from above in fury, swearing prior to hall entry.

"If trivial and you’re pranking, watch how I settle with you."

Zhan Tian’s roar stung Chen Xuan’s ears.

"Long time no see, Elder Zhan."

Chen Xuan beamed a welcome to the newly arrived Zhan Tian.

"Huh, why’re you in the Imperial City out of nowhere?"

Zhan Tian moderated his tone with youth present, holding back some.

"Meet my son Xiaoqi—greet Grandpa Zhan!"

"Xiaoqi greets Grandpa Zhan!"

Identical to earlier.

"Your son, eh!"

Zhan Tian’s look shifted to Xiaoqi, freezing at once.

His eyes glued steadfastly to Xiaoqi.

"Your son?"

Unwilling to trust his sight, his insight outstripped even Liu Sheng’s.

Five-to-six-year-old build, boyish face, no forced maturation aids.

Vital detail... Dao Realm first level, late-stage Profound Realm, inches from Dao Stage—no! Breakthrough poised any moment.

Plus, physique alarmingly potent!

"Of course!"

Chen Xuan nodded gleefully, grin nearly splitting his face.

Xiaoqi earned him huge face today.

Discomfiting Great Yu’s two behemoths—what joy surpassed it?

"Such a freak... such a freak..."

Zhan Tian inched closer, gaze riveted on Xiaoqi.

"Cough cough cough..."

Liu Sheng hacked loudly overhead.

"What’d you claim before—if no big thing, how’d you ‘deal’ with me?"

Zhan Tian eyed him first time then, old face beaming, "What claim? Who’d ‘deal’ with you? Pure jest—you lack humor."

"Scram!"

In wit alone, Liu Sheng fell short of Zhan Tian.
