Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 919 487: The Strange Tenth Floor of the Library Pavilion!

"Cheers!"

Liu Sheng raised his wine cup and drained it completely in a single gulp.

"Phew—"

A lengthy exhale carrying the strong aroma of alcohol escaped him, as his gaze remained locked on Chen Xuan.

Good lad.

Should the Liu Family manage to raise a prodigy like this, it wouldn't just thrill him— their forefathers would crawl from their tombs, perform a joyful dance, and happily return to their graves.

"You've got real nerve, kid."

"Daring to confess right to Zhan Tian's face that you sneaked into the Library Pavilion."

"You realize that anyone else would've been dealt with immediately."

"Your boldness impresses me sometimes."

Liu Sheng regarded him with a grin.

His tone held some mockery, yet brimmed mostly with genuine praise.

"Truthfully?"

Chen Xuan set aside his cup and inquired steadily.

"Brat, deceiving a Peak Eighth Layer Dao Realm expert isn't simple."

In the Dao Realm's Eighth Stage, every layer separates vast realms.

Particularly at the pinnacle, the gap widens immensely!

"Exactly!"

Chen Xuan agreed with a nod. Back in the hall, he'd detected their secret exchanges, probably verifying his honesty.

"Truth is, without knowing those prodigies were arriving, I wouldn't have proposed those conditions."

"But the Chief Eunuch urgently summoned Elder Zhan, sparking my guess, so I rolled the dice."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng nodded approvingly, "At least you're straightforward, kid!"

The three from the Three Judicial Departments truly fall short.

Even their top talent Ye Chen might barely hit Dao Realm's Seventh Stage, serving merely as fodder... or not even that.

In the current Great Yu, only Qin Ying, Bamboo Garden, and this young man could compare to those prodigies.

Yet even they pale against such foes.

No wonder Zhan Tian, spotting Xiaoqi, instantly accepted Chen Xuan's bold proposal.

Afterward, the veteran and the youth conversed casually, with Xiaoqi listening silently nearby.

This continued deep into the night!

"Enough talk, get some rest. Come morning, I'll escort you to the Three Judicial Departments!"

"Many thanks, Chief Eunuch!"

Liu Sheng staggered away unsteadily.

Moments later!

Kang Bai entered slowly, "The quarters are prepared; come with me."

"Appreciate it, Lord Kang!"

Chen Xuan gave a light clasp of hands.

"If it's fine, call me Brother Kang."

Liu Sheng's demeanor toward Chen Xuan had stirred his suspicions.

Reluctant as he felt!

Relief washed over him more, since his own power was middling and nearing its ceiling.

This role overwhelmed him.

He could merely assist, offering backup at most.

"Brother Kang!"

Chen Xuan called out amiably without hesitation.

"Uncle Kang!"

Xiaoqi chimed in sweetly from the side.

"Wonderful!"

Kang Bai ruffled his hair, eyeing Chen Xuan with envy, "What a fine boy you have—even Elder Zhan bent his principles for him. I'm jealous."

"Haha!"

Chen Xuan laughed, "Luck plays a part too."

"Hahaha..."

The pair burst into booming laughter.

....

The following morning!

A carriage departed the Ritual Department at dawn, Liu Sheng at the heart, flanked by Xiaoqi and Chen Xuan.

"Once inside the Library Pavilion's tenth floor, keep your mind pure—I won't enter with you."

"Irritate Zhan Tian, and even I can't protect you."

Chen Xuan nodded at Liu Sheng's warning, "Got it, Chief Eunuch. I'm only after the coordinates; nothing else will catch my eye."

Roughly half an hour passed before the carriage halted.

"Chief Eunuch, we've reached the Ritual Department!"

Kang Bai's voice rang from without.

"Understood."

Liu Sheng responded quietly, then stepped down.

The quartet proceeded smoothly into the Three Judicial Departments.

Within the vast hall.

"You showed up after all! Worried I'd end him?"

Zhan Tian mocked Liu Sheng.

"With your reputation, nothing's off-limits, so after weighing it, I came anyway."

"Rubbish—I follow the rules to the letter."

Liu Sheng's remark irked Zhan Tian greatly.

"Fine, to business: Xiaoqi stays in the Ritual Department—train him properly."

Liu Sheng averted his gaze from the rogues, thinking of rules—bah, they'd forgotten shame!

He probably couldn't spell 'rules'.

"Hmph!"

Zhan Tian huffed irritably, then eyed Chen Xuan coldly, "Come on!"

Chen Xuan stayed unruffled, a subtle smile playing on his lips.

From Liu Sheng the night before, he'd learned the Library Pavilion was Zhan Tian's vital treasure.

Gaining entry was a feat; demeanor scarcely mattered.

His focus now fixed solely on the Human Realm's coordinates.

Once they departed, Liu Sheng turned to Xiaoqi, "Follow me, lad—Grandpa Liu will tour you around. You'll dwell here long-term, so familiarize yourself!"

He shot Kang Bai a look, "Stay put."

"Yes, Chief Eunuch!"

As the old man and child clasped hands leaving the hall, Kang Bai marveled inwardly—Grandpa Liu!

"The Chief Eunuch truly treats them like family."

Emotion and envy stirred within him.

Not even many in the Liu Family earned that title.

Meanwhile, Zhan Tian and Chen Xuan reached the Library Pavilion's gateway.

"How exactly did you access the tenth level before?"

This puzzle lingered unsolved; the entire Three Judicial Departments fell under his vigilance, and though a Spirit Tribulation distracted him that day, slipping past to breach the Library Pavilion still stunned him profoundly.
