Chapter 341
Hearing this name, Xun Shuang was stunned for a moment before suddenly remembering who this person was.
Immediately, his pair of eyes burned with anger. “Good, good, good. You petty thief came at the right time. You saved me some time. Today, you can thank me for your death!”
As he spoke, Xun Shuang wanted to attack and capture Jian Chen.
But at that moment, an elder from the Xun family hurried over and whispered,
“Patriarch, today is a day to rejoice. It is not appropriate to fight. Moreover …”
He whispered a few words into Xun Shuang’s ear. The anger in Xun Shuang’s eyes gradually subsided.
The Xun family elder’s words were straightforward.
Xun Qian’er clearly believed in Jian Chen. Even if Peng King (the grandson of the Ancient King) did not mind, he would still feel a little uneasy.
Now that Jian Chen had come, it was an excellent opportunity.
If Jian Chen could decide, it would be a happy ending.
Hearing the Xun family elder’s words, Xun Shuang immediately revealed a smile. However, when he thought about it, he felt a little troubled,
“What if Jian Chen doesn’t agree?”
The Xun family elder’s smile was very sinister. “Patriarch, Jian Chen is only an Origin King. Why should we be afraid of him?”
Xun Shuang immediately understood. Looking at Jian Chen, he restrained his anger and said in a low voice, “Jian Chen, my daughter already belongs to a someone beyond you. It’s beyond your control. If you know what’s good for you, leave the Xun family. Otherwise, I can kill you right now without the Heavenly King needing to take action!”
Xun Shuang gestured for the Xun Family elder to bring Xun Qian’er over.
Xun Qian’er looked rather haggard. She was imprisoned in her bedroom and had received no news from the outside world for several days.
Nor did she know that Jian Chen had already arrived at the Xun family.
When she saw Jian Chen, her eyes immediately flickered with brilliant lights.
But she quickly reacted.
Jian Chen would be in danger if the King arrived later!
Immediately, Xun Qian’er called out to Jian Chen,
“Brother Chen, leave me alone. Go”
Xun Shuang laughed and pointed at Jian Chen. “Did you hear that? Even my daughter wants you to leave, yet you still don’t know your place?”
Jian Chen gripped the golden sword behind him as he gritted his teeth. He wished he could pull out his sword and wipe out the entire Xun family.
However, he knew Xu Qian’er’s character. If Jian Chen really did that, it would be a great harm to Xu Qian’er.
Immediately, Jian Chen looked at Xun Shuang and coldly said, “Patriarch Xun, how do you expect me to take Qian’er away? Whether it’s Numinous treasures, secret arts, or resources, I can use them as betrothal gifts!”
“Huh? Betrothal gift? How could a poor brat from some backwater region dare to speak such nonsense in my Xun Family?”
Xun Shuang seemed to have heard some funny jokes, as he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Someone, bring me the betrothal gift from the Peng King!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few servants who had already prepared things for him brought up a golden jade box.
Xun Shuang gently opened the jade box. Instantly, the entire Xun Family was encompassed by the dancing divine radiance.
The dense flow of essence energy caused all the guests present to reveal shocked expressions!
“Divine Origin? It’s actually Divine Origin?”
He’s worthy of bearing the title of Peng King. He’s really generous!”
“Given the radiance, it probably shouldn’t be a small amount. It’s at least a hundred jin!”
Divine Origin!
Such treasures were extremely precious to Heavenly Kings. To a mid-stage Huaman King powerhouse like the Xun family, they could easily obtain the position of a patriarch with this much power.
It was a treasure that they didn’t even dare to think about before!
As for the Peng King, he took out a hundred jin of Divine Origin, just as a betrothal gift!
Inside the jade box, there were many neatly cut Divine Origin essences, causing all the cultivators present to be dazzled inadvertently.
Xun Shuang felt even more pleased when he saw this.
He gently weighed a piece of Divine Origin and shook it before Jian Chen. He sneered, “Divine Origin, have you ever heard of such a treasure? Just a single piece of it is sufficient for that tiny region of your hometown to fight for it!”
As he spoke, Xun Shuang directly threw the one pound Divine Origin to Jian Chen!
“Take this and get the hell out of the Xun Family!”
Jian Chen sneered disdainfully as he looked at the piece of Divine Origin that rolled towards him.
Before he came, he had thought that the Xun Family would be snobbish.
However, he never thought that the Xun family would not only be snobbish, but they would also be too short-sighted. Jian Chen did not even have the time to get angry.
If not for her, the two of them were not characters that belonged to the same world at all!
He was on a different level. Looking at Xun Shuang, Jian Chen was no longer as angry as before. Instead, he looked as if he was gazing at a pitiful clown.
The contempt and sympathy in Jian Chen’s eyes stabbed deeply into Xun Shuang’s proud but sensitive heart.
He did not know where Jian Chen’s confidence came from.
However, in his opinion, a mere Origin King was nothing, even if he had a trump card.
What kind of background and power could a chosen one have? Not to mention he came out of a small domain that was so remote that he had never even heard of its name.
Xun Shuang grinned evilly.
“You shameless brat, I’ll count to three. If you don’t leave, you can stay here forever …”
Before he could finish his sentence, it was stuck in his throat, making him unable to utter another word!
This was because Jian Chen only gently patted the storage pouch.
A wisp of spirit energy flashed as the storage pouch opened wide.
Crash!
One after another, pieces of Divine Origin began scattering in midair. They were even purer than the Divine Origin pieces sent by the Peng King.
In the blink of an eye, a small mountain appeared above the Xun family!
A thousand jin of Divine Origin!
The entire Xun Family was completely silent!
Everyone was stunned, and when they saw the mountain filled with a thousand jin of Divine Origin, they forgot to even breathe!
“There’s a thousand jin of Divine Origin here.”
Jian Chen’s indifferent voice rang out,
“Can I take Qian’er away now?”
“Gulp!”
Xun Shuang gulped as he suppressed the shock in her heart.
“Just who are you?”
“Me?” Jian Chen frowned. He no longer wanted to say anything more to this so-called “father-in-law “.
But seeing Xun Qian’er’s haggard expression, he gritted his teeth and said indifferently, “My name is Jian Chen, a student of the Middle Saint Academy.”
“I mean, who is your teacher?!”
Xun Shuang couldn’t afford to lose his composure. A cultivator who could produce a thousand jin of Divine Origin would probably have a strong background.
Right now, he only felt a chill on his back and had an awful premonition.
However, the words had once again angered Jian Chen.
“Hmph! How is an ant like you worthy enough to ask about the name of my master?!”
Holding the golden sword in his hand, Jian Chen called out, “I’ll ask again. Are you going to let Qian’er go or not?”
“Take Xun Qian’er away? Who are you? How dare you make a move against a woman that I, Peng King, have taken a liking to?”
Jian Chen had just finished speaking when an icy voice suddenly came from the other side of the Xun family.
With a thunderous explosion, a golden figure descended!
As the golden light dispersed, a man with two wings and two golden eyes looked at Jian Chen with disdain.
