Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

After paying with spirit stones, Xu Qingzhou put away the stone egg that Xu Ying had chosen.

Most of these stone eggs cost three thousand high-grade spirit stones, while some cost two thousand or four thousand.

Starting from the far left as you enter, the further right you walk along the shelves, the higher the price of the stone eggs becomes.

Xu Chen was in the middle at that moment, meaning he had only seen half of it.

After another incense stick's time, Xu Chen finally finished looking at them. He ultimately chose two, paid the spirit stones, and the three of them left the main hall and returned to the Xu family.

After all three stone eggs were taken out, Little Gray 'whooshed' over, stared wide-eyed at the three stone eggs with curiosity, and licked his lips.

Clearly, it sensed the aura of a demonic beast emanating from it, but was unsure due to the obstruction of the stone skin.

Xu Qingzhou tapped its head.

"This isn't for eating. Go and call Xiao Luo over."

Little Grey obediently left, and Xu Luo arrived soon after.

Xu Ying pointed to the leftmost stone egg and said, "Brother Luo, this one is mine, and the other two are Brother Chen's. Which one do you think is alive?"

“They’re both alive, but yours is definitely better, little sister,” Xu Chen said.

It was only then that he realized that all his painstaking efforts in selecting people one by one using his Qi-gazing technique were less effective than Xu Ying's random choices.

That's some luck, I'm so envious.

Xu Luo smiled and said, "We need to break open the stone first, and then nourish it with spiritual energy for a period of time before we can determine the answer."

Xu Qingzhou called him over to do this job.

The outer stone skin is exceptionally hard, but the inner eggshell is only moderately hard. If you are not careful, the eggshell will break, and then it will be useless whether it is a live egg or a dead egg.

Therefore, someone with extensive experience like Xu Luo is needed.

Xu Luo didn't waste any time and immediately started working on it using special techniques.

Two hours later.

The outer stone skin of the three stone eggs has finally been completely peeled off.

It's still unclear whether the egg can hatch, because the young demon beast inside doesn't have enough spiritual energy and is currently in a dormant state, with extremely weak life force.

It needs to be nourished with a large amount of spiritual energy for a period of time to awaken the monster cub inside the egg, and then a way to hatch it can be found.

The whole process will take some time.

Therefore, Xu Luo suggested, "Putting them in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm will make it faster."

So Xu Qingzhou gave him the egg, asking him to take it back to the Great Qian Dynasty, hatch it, and bring it back. He could even let the cub grow to the Profound Core Realm in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm before returning.

.....

Before coming to Duanshan City, Xu Qingzhou took Xu Chen and the others to the You family of Wu Kingdom to set a wedding date for Xu Chen and You Luoran. Now that the date is approaching, both families have begun to busy themselves with their wedding preparations.

As one of the top three families in the Wu Kingdom, the You family naturally held a grand and splendid wedding for their patriarch's daughter.

This matter also sparked heated discussions in the Wu Kingdom.

"I've heard that the young lady of the You family is intelligent, beautiful, and has many suitors, including the prince of the Wu Kingdom. Why is she suddenly getting married?"

"The key question is, who is her future husband, Xu Chen? There's no such person in the Wu Kingdom, is there?"

"I heard that Xu Chen is a student of Shenque Academy."

"I see. But that's not enough. A large family like the You family needs to be a good match for their son-in-law."

"A rumor has spread that the daughter of the Xu family patriarch has become a disciple of Yin Xianhong, the master of the Divine Palace."

"Wow! In that case, they're really a perfect match!"

Originally, You Luoran's suitors were a little unconvinced, but after learning about Xu Chen and the Xu family, they became much more obedient. They were a match made in heaven, and it was none of their business to gossip.

You Chengwu hadn't actively publicized Xu Chen's identity before because he didn't want the Xu family to think that he agreed to their marriage because he wanted to befriend them.

But the news has spread throughout the Wu Kingdom.

This was deliberately spread by someone arranged by Xu Qingzhou, for a very simple reason.

Xu Qingzhou wants to open a branch of Zuixianlou in Wu Kingdom.

The Xu family has no foundation in the Wu Kingdom. Relying solely on Xu Ying's status as a disciple of the head of the Divine Palace is insufficient; it's like trying to quench a thirst with water from afar.

However, the You family has a strong foundation and considerable power in the Wu Kingdom.

With the Xu family and the You family combined, opening a branch of Zuixianlou in Wu Kingdom wouldn't be a problem, and they wouldn't have to worry about being controlled by local powerful figures.

The You family wanted to befriend the Xu family, who had immense potential.

It's perfectly reasonable for the Xu family to open a store by leveraging the You family's influence in the Wu Kingdom.

At this very moment, however, some people in the Wu Kingdom panicked, panicked to the extreme.

That is the Danqi Sect, which traveled a long way from the original Black Feather Dynasty to the Wu Kingdom and has only settled there for a little over a year.

When an elder learned of this, he immediately went back to report to the sect leader.

"Sect Master! Sect Master! Something terrible has happened!!"

The elder ran and shouted, his age making him as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Elder Zhao, don't be anxious, tell me what's going on slowly."

The sect leader of the Pill and Weapon Sect remained quite calm. Three moves had left him with a tranquil mind, allowing him to face anything with equanimity.

Elder Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The daughter of the You family is getting married to Xu Chen!!!"

The sect leader asked in confusion, "Even if the You family is a prominent family in the Martial Kingdom, they have no connection with us and wouldn't send an invitation. Why are you going to such lengths?"

Elder Zhao took a breath.

"The You family is indeed unrelated to us, but the You family's son-in-law is Xu Chen! Xu Chen of the Xu family!!"

When Xu Qingzhou took Xu Chen to the capital, Xu Chen dominated the selection competition for the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, stealing the spotlight.

Of the five chosen ones in the Xu family, Xu Chu is the most low-key and has the least fame. No one knows him, and even some members of the Xu family are unaware of his existence.

The sect leader was startled. "Which Xu family?"

“The Xu family of the Great Qian Dynasty!” Elder Zhao replied.

"What?!!"

The sect leader jumped up with a whoosh, his voice changed, and his eyes widened.

"Are you sure it's the Xu family from the Great Qian Dynasty?"

Elder Zhao said, "Back when it was still the Great Qi Dynasty, we all met Xu Chen in the capital. With his talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to be admitted to the Divine Palace."

Elder Zhao had been watching the selection process closely, and given his feud with the Xu family, he had a particularly strong memory of the name Xu Chen.

The sect leader asked with a dark face, "So, you're not sure that the You family's son-in-law, Xu Chen, is the same Xu Chen from the Xu family?"

"I'm not sure, but both of them named Xu Chen are very talented. What a coincidence!" Elder Zhao said, spreading his hands.

The sect leader retorted, "We've only just moved to the Wu Kingdom, and the Xu family has already formed a marriage alliance with a major family in the Wu Kingdom. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?"

"this...."

Elder Zhao was speechless for a moment.

The sect leader said earnestly, "Elder Zhao, we mustn't be overly suspicious!"
