Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

"I was protecting the young master when I passed through this place," Ling Ying said calmly.

He wasn't stupid; he didn't reveal Zhang Yuan's true information.

"I see." Qingman immediately returned the token and smiled, "Young Master of the Lingye Chamber of Commerce in Zhongzhou, no wonder you have such talent. I was too hasty in my actions. Farewell."

After Qingman finished speaking, he came to the ground and left with the Azure Winged Heavenly Serpent, seemingly trying to escape.

The most renowned forces in Zhongzhou are the One Palace, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion, but that doesn't mean there are no forces that can rival or even surpass them. For example, the Lingye Chamber of Commerce, headquartered in the Eastern Region of Zhongzhou, has a president who is a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

The Heavenly Serpent Mansion is a top-tier power because no other power in the Northwest Continent is stronger or possesses a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint). The Lingye Chamber of Commerce is a top-tier power because it has a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) in charge.

"Lingye Chamber of Commerce"

Zhang Yuan murmured softly, understanding that this was most likely the ancient clan's representative force in the outside world.

Apart from the declining Xiao clan, the eight ancient clans all lived in their own small worlds. Their existence was unknown to most forces outside the continent. Although they did not venture out easily, they all had representatives in the outside world to facilitate their rule and resource collection, such as the Soul Clan's Soul Palace.

"A token scared away a peak Dou Huang, this gigolo is really sweet." Zhang Yuan thought to himself with pride.

At that moment, Qing Yanjing's shy voice rang in his ear: "My lord, could you please change the position of your hand?"

Zhang Yuan: "."

I was wondering why it felt so soft to the touch.

Chapter 52's single sentence completely confused Qing Yanjing.

"Feel sorry."

Zhang Yuan naturally moved his hand downwards, which took slightly longer than he expected, startling him.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?" Zhang Yuan asked sincerely.

"I believe you." Qing Yanjing's blush spread to her ears and neck, and she nodded shyly, saying, "My lord, you did all this to save me, so you couldn't think of anything else in the heat of the moment. But could you put me down now?"

“Of course.” Zhang Yuan controlled the wings and slowly descended.

Ling Ying: "."

Young master, when you asked me to cooperate with the speed test, you weren't this slow.

Despite his inner grumbling, he remembered his identity and said nothing, instead disappearing into the shadows.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Qin Zhendong, Jia Xingtian, and the others, but they all tacitly chose to pretend they hadn't seen it.

“Ye’er, it seems we need to place even greater importance on Zhang Yuan.” Jia Xingtian turned to look at Yao Ye, his expression serious.

“I understand, Great-Grandfather.” Yao Ye stood by the window and nodded solemnly.

Their Jia Ma Empire is just a small country in a corner of the Northwest Continent, not even ranking among the top in the Northwest Continent. The most famous powerhouse they ever produced was Yun Potian, who founded the Yunlan Sect.

The Heavenly Serpent Empire, controlled by the Heavenly Serpent Palace, occupies the most resource-rich central area of ​​the Northwest Continent and is one of the dominant forces on the continent. Only a few top forces, such as the Lion Nether Sect, can compare with it.

The powerful figures from the Heavenly Serpent Palace have always been domineering and arrogant in the Northwest Continent, but today, that peak Dou Huang retreated directly because of a token from Zhang Yuan's protector, which shows how powerful the latter's background is.

Given Zhang Yuan's background, it's unclear why he'd remain in the Gama Empire, but befriending him is never a bad thing.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, the Azure Winged Heavenly Serpent was mocking Qing Man: "Hehehe, you bastard Qing Man, you're always so arrogant, but your opponent is only a peak Dou Huang, and you cower before even getting a chance to fight?"

Qingman's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the Azure Winged Heavenly Serpent and said indifferently, "I have no point in talking to a brainless magical beast like you."

He has a rather unique taste; he likes handsome men with a strong masculine presence, but he would never offend anyone or cause trouble for himself because of it.

Let alone the fact that Ling Ying is suspected to be a member of the Lingye Chamber of Commerce, a Dou Sheng-level force, even if he were just a commoner at the peak of the Dou Huang level, he would never make an enemy just to play with a man; that would be pure idiocy.

"You bastard, Qingman, how dare you insult me?" Qingyi Tianshe roared.

Qingman looked at it as if it were an idiot: "I'm not insulting you, but stating a fact. If you're not stupid, why are you under my control and still dare to shout?"

As he spoke, Qingman unleashed his fighting spirit.

The vines on the Azure Winged Heavenly Serpent began to contract and tighten.

"Roar!" The Azure Winged Heavenly Serpent let out a miserable cry.

At the same time, in front of the Wanshu Pavilion, where most of the buildings had been reduced to ruins, Zhang Yuan had just landed and put Qing Yanjing down when he heard a pitiful cry from ahead: "Cousin!"

It was after Meng Xu crawled out of the ruins that he saw Meng Xing, who was in a terrible state and almost unrecognizable in the center of the ruins.

Although Zhang Yuan reacted quickly, he only managed to save three people in time. Meng Xing could only say that this was his fate.

Speaking of calamity

Zhang Yuan turned to look at Qing Yanjing and found that she indeed looked distraught.

She must be blaming herself, thinking that she, the unlucky one, brought danger to others again. Otherwise, why would that sixth-order magical beast be suppressed in the sky above Qingyun Town and land on Wanshu Pavilion?

"Master Qing, the Wanshu Pavilion has been destroyed. What are your plans?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Huh?" Qing Yanjing's thoughts were interrupted, and she looked up with some confusion.

What other plans are there for this? Of course, it's to spend money to rebuild, and to reduce contact with people in the future.

If it weren't for her mother's dying words and words of comfort, she would have long since given up on living.

"Why don't you come and stay by my side from now on?" Zhang Yuan got straight to the point.

"Ah!?" Qing Yanjing's heart skipped a beat.

Especially when she saw the tenderness in Zhang Yuan's eyes and the smile on his lips, her heart was thrown into turmoil.

Has this Lord Zhang Yuan taken a liking to me?

Qing Yanjing is very confident in her appearance, and she has never lacked suitors.

But those men would only pretend to be refined and elegant in front of her, showing off their literary talent, wealth, or power.

Zhang Yuan is the most outstanding peer she has met in all aspects over the years.

Isn't this approach a bit too direct?

The same question arose in Ling Ying's mind.

He had watched Zhang Yuan grow up and even secretly protected him for two years, so he knew the young master's character.

He's a bit of a womanizer, but not much, as evidenced by the fact that he only ever reported one woman, "Little Fairy Doctor," to Xun'er.

Zhang Yuan has met many beautiful women over the years. After his talent was revealed, various forces came to woo him and invest in him. Naturally, they would send him beautiful women, but he refused them all.

This is the first time I've been so proactive with Qing Yanjing. Is it because she's too beautiful?

Ling Ying's urge to tattle was stirring within her.

"You don't need to rush to refuse."

Seeing that Qing Yanjing was about to speak, Zhang Yuan said seriously, "Someone told me about your past experiences, and I also know about the title of 'ominous person,' but I don't believe a word of it, and I advise you not to believe it either."

"Perhaps you have some special qualities, but that is definitely not fate. If fate were predetermined, then the efforts of us cultivators would be the biggest joke."

"No matter what makes you special, if you trust me, you can come to me tomorrow before my Xuanzi Camp sets off for Qingyan City. I will protect you, just like I did just now."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan turned and left.

Qing Yanjing gazed at his retreating figure, softly murmuring his words, a different kind of emotion appearing in her eyes.

"My lord, thank you for saving my life."

Zhang Yuan arrived at the ruins and used his soul perception to find Qin Hai, who was unconscious and buried, and woke him up.

After learning what had happened and that he had almost been crushed to death by a sixth-tier magical beast, Qin Hai nearly knelt down, but Zhang Yuan helped him up.

“Master Qin, we’re already friends, no need to be so polite. Although your injuries aren’t serious, you should still go back and take some medicine to heal,” Zhang Yuan said.

Qin Hai thanked him profusely again before leaving.

Zhang Yuan approached Meng Xu and sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't have the strength to save him at that time."

With tears in his eyes, Meng Xu clearly had a special relationship with Meng Xing. Upon hearing Zhang Yuan's words, he immediately shook his head and said, "My lord, you saved my life. My cousin was destined to suffer this calamity, and I have no one to blame but myself."

Zhang Yuan reached out and patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, then turned and left without saying anything more.

His gaze met Qing Yanjing's, and he simply nodded.

Back in the military camp, he entered his tent and sat cross-legged, meditating on the image of the Thunder God.

As for the impact of the sixth-tier magical beast in Qingyun Town, someone else will handle that; it has nothing to do with him.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Zhang Yuan was putting on his armor when he went straight into the camp.

"You have a really good physique." Yao Ye's gaze lingered on Zhang Yuan's upper body without any attempt to hide it.

Zhang Yuan continued putting on his armor without changing his expression, and said calmly, "Princess, please have some self-respect, or don't blame me for punishing you for trespassing according to military regulations."

Yao Ye curled her lip and casually tossed out a storage ring: "I personally delivered the materials and herbs you had someone apply to exchange yesterday. You don't appreciate my kindness."

Zhang Yuan put away the storage ring and said calmly, "Even without you, someone else would have sent it to me."

Yao Ye felt a surge of frustration. If this were in the capital, what man would dare to treat her like this?

However, considering Zhang Yuan's mysterious background, she could only suppress her displeasure.

"How did you feel after personally experiencing Qing Yanjing's ominous nature yesterday?"

Yao Ye made conversation, his eyes filled with amusement.

Zhang Yuan was utterly humiliated yesterday.

Chapter 53 A Demon Within a Demon: Qing Yanjing!

Zhang Yuan picked up his sword, turned to look at Yao Ye, and calmly uttered four words: "Nothing special."

"Tch." Yao Ye curled her lip.

She felt that if Zhang Yuan were burned to death, all that would be left would be his mouth.

Because this bastard, this stinky man, his only stubborn thing is his mouth.

After what happened yesterday, Zhang Yuan almost got crushed to death while eating. Will he not learn his lesson?

"You're just being stubborn. Do you really dare to contact Qing Yanjing?" Yao Ye crossed her arms and observed Zhang Yuan's expression.

“What is there to be afraid of?” Zhang Yuan calmly met her gaze and said, “Not only did I dare to approach her, but I also invited her to come with me before I left last night.”
