  Ji Rushi and the servant Xiao Cui also had faces full of disbelief. Even though they felt disdain towards someone like Du Bushu who loved to gamble as if his life depended on it. However, seeing the abilities of the two with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel admiration for them.

  Han Chen had a relaxed smile on his face as he said, "I havuge problem, but in terms of gambling skills, I am not as good as you."

  Out of a thousand tricks? "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! The entire audience was in an uproar. In addition, there was a soft booing sound.

  Du Bushu was startled at first, but then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You gave mhousand, but I couldn't tell. The same goes for your skills. If you agree to lose, I'll give this to you. "

  As he said that, he threw the small piece of metal towards Han Chen.

  "Hehe, I will not return that monster core to you." Han Chen laughed, he casually received the metal piece and held it in his hand, and a cold feeling spread through his fingertips.

  "Even if you are willing, I will not take it." Du Bushu heaved a deep sigh of relief, and the dejected look on his face slightly faded. "There ieculiar glint in his eyes." "What's your name?"

  "Han Chen."

  "Hehe, good, Han Chen, I will remember you. "Farewell." Du Bushu no longer had the appearance of a slovenly gambler. Even though he was dressed up incongruously.

  "Goodbye." Han Chen slightly nodded his head, and then, under the gazes of everyone around. Du Bushu hurriedly left the Jaded Jade Tower without looking back.

  After the liveliness finished, the surrounding crowd of spectators started to disperse. However, it still seemed like Yu Yu was not done with the previous three gambling techniques.

  Han Chen looked at Du Bushu's disappearing figure and could not help but shake his head. He thought that the other party wasn't as simple as a normal gambler. After a moment of absent-mindedness, he turned his gaze to the nearby Ji Rushi, and immediately walked towards the two of them.

  "Han Chen, you …"

  "It's just a joke!" Han Chen answered. Everything he could win against Du Bushu depended on the "Thousand Illusionary Hands". This was originally a trick used by martial artists to show off their skills, but now it was put to good use.

  Xiao Cui who was at the side still had a look of disdain on her face, "Taking advantage of the situation, using underhanded methods."

  Han Chen was not willing to lower himself to the same level as a woman. He squinted his eyes and took out the three Level 5 beasts he had won from Du Bushu and gave them to Xiao Cui, "I bought this soft sword myself."

  "You …"

  Without waiting for Xiao Cui to speak, Han Chen shoved the crystal core into her hands. Afterwards, he did not spare her another glance as he turned his attention to Ji Rushi and cupped her fists: "Miss Ji, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

  Miss Ji? Listening to this polite and formal way of addressing him. Ji Rushi's heart trembled, when the two of them were young, they both called each other by name. She knew that ever since their conversation on the third floor, there had been a thick barrier separating them.

  "Slow, slow walking."

  "Goodbye." Han Chen politely nodded his head. Then, he turned around and left.

  Xiao Cui who was at the side was extremely annoyed, from start to finish, Han Chen did not even look at her once. Hmph, what kind of person is that!? How great he thought he was! Young mistress, let's go back as well! "

  Ji Rushi nodded her head, and the two of them immediately followed.

  The Ji Family was not weak in Hidden Court City, although it was weaker than the Bai Family and the Liu Family. But the difference wouldn't be too great.

  On the way back to the Ji household, Ji Rushi seemed to be in a bit of an absent-minded state, and her mood dropped a little. Xiao Cui was blabbering on and on about how terrible Han Chen was, being like the young master of the Liu Family, Liu Yifeng, from top to bottom. Regarding this, Ji Rushi just laughed and did not speak.

  When the two of them arrived at the Ji Clan's main entrance, they saw a slender and handsome young man with elegant white clothes coming out from inside. When he saw Ji Rushi and who had returned, the man's eyes lit up, and immediately smiled warmly in welcome.

  "Likoem."

  "Young Master, you're here!" The servant girl Xiao Cui opened her eyes wide, her gaze sweeping across and her opponent. The man was none other than Liu Yifeng, the young master of the Liu Family who was going to be betrothed to Ji Rushi in a few days.

  "Hehe, Xiao Cui, it's still too early to call Young Master that!" Liu Yifeng revealed a gentle and elegant smile, and then said to Ji Rushi: "Ru Shi, where did you guys go? I've been waiting for a long time! I was just about to go back when I met him. "

  Ji Rushi gave a shallow smile and lightly shook her head, "Yi Feng, I was walking around in the Jade Talisman Tower for a while. I'm a little tired, so I want to go in and rest. Why don't you go back first! "

  Without waiting for Liu Yifeng to say anything, Ji Rushi turned and walked out of the house without looking back.

  Liu Yifeng was suspicious, and he spoke to stop Xiao Cui who was about to go in, "Xiao Cui, what happened to Ru Shi? "Why do you look so unhappy?"

  "It's all because of that Han Chen."

  "Han Chen?" Liu Yifeng frowned, he felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he was unable to recall who it was in an instant. "Who is he?"

  "The trash of the Bai Family born to that son-in-law who came to reverse the situation and Bai Muxuan!" Xiao Cui curled her lips, and said with contempt.

  "So it's him." Liu Yifeng was suddenly enlightened, his eyes slightly narrowed, and asked solemnly: "Is it him that has an engagement with Ru Shi? Could it be that he wants to fulfill the marriage contract as per the poem? "

  "Not really."

  Xiao Cui waved her hand, and then roughly told the story of the two meeting Han Chen in the Jaded Jade Tower. However, there waint of disgust in her heart, and it only added up to a little bit.

  Hearing that, Liu Yifeng's head filled with fire, his handsome face immediately became gloomy, "Hmph, stupid brat. Who did he think he was? A piece of trash who doesn't even have an innate divine ability, how can he be so shameless after giving him face? "

  "That's right, Young Master. You didn't know that he would be so arrogant." I feel sorry for Miss. "

  "Hmph, damn you." Liu Yifeng heaved a sigh of relief, as a cold and malicious intent surged out of his eyes. "Leave this matter to me.

  Night time, Bai Clan. Silence reigned as several guards were patrolling the courtyard with lanterns in hand.

  In the remote courtyard that Han Chen lived in, there was still a light burning. The dim yellow light made the simple and clean room look hazy.

  Han Chen sat on the bed and studied the small piece of metal in his hand. This was what he had won from Du Bushu earlier in the day. It was about the size of his palm and dark in color.

  "What is this thing?" Han Chen frowned, and thought.

  Although on the surface, it was jusiece of scrap, but if the The Supreme Divine Diagram reacted, then it proved that it was definitely not an ordinary item. Just as Han Chen was unsure of how to proceed, the The Supreme Divine Diagram in his body suddenly fluctuated slightly.

  Immediately after, a white light surged out from Han Chen's body, and wrapped around the metal piece. In the next moment, the surface of the piece of metal began to emit a strange golden brilliance. The rust on its surface began to fall off.

  "This?" Han Chen opened his eyes wide, revealing a look of astonishment. The light flashed past, Han Chen's mind was startled, and then he was surprised to find that a message suddenly appeared in his mind.

  "Martial Arts Movement Technique, Great Void Wandering Dragon Steps!"

  Great Void Wandering Dragon Steps? Han Chen murmured absentmindedly as he read through the information in his min
d seriously. This is a movement martial art, and its rank is definitely not low.

  The more Han Chen looked, the more shocked he was and the more he liked it. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face, "It's too amazing. With this movement technique, I will definitely be able to greatly improve my ability to adapt in battle."

  After a while, Han Chen's consciousness left his mind. Looking at the ordinary looking small piece of metal in his hand, he had an indescribable feeling. Unexpectedly, he had even won a treasure over. Of course, if there was no hint from the The Supreme Divine Diagram. Even if the treasure was placed in front of him, Han Chen would not be able to discover it.

  "The Supreme Divine Diagram, what kind of treasure is this? Is it a divine object? "

  He recalled the scenes he had encountered in the Abyss of No Phase. The mysterious woman in the blood-colored coffin had saved him in a hallucination. Even a Holy-ranked Artifact was thrown to Han Chen casually. However, she pursued the The Supreme Divine Diagram relentlessly. One could imagine how powerful it was.

  Thinking about that, Han Chen could not help but shiver.

  That mysterious woman said that she would leave a mark on his body, so she would come to find him in the future. If she eventually found out she had been deceived, she would not be much better off.

  "Sigh, forget it. Let's talk about the future later! " Han Chen took a deep breath and sniffed with his nose. After that, he reached into his bosom and took out a warm jade pendant.

  A faint red light flowed through the jade pendant. This was the saint artifact that Fire Phoenix had left to the Phoenix Village Clan.

  A saint artifact was different from a treasure. If one wanted to use it, they would have to use the former. He had to have enough Martial Yuan at his disposal. With Han Chen's current strength at the sixth stage of Qi Refining, he was unable to use its power.

  And the reason why village chief Feng Shan of Phoenix Village was able to use it was because he was a descendant of the Flaming Phoenix and possessed the blood of a Holy Beast within his body. Only then could he use it.

  "I have to seize every moment to increase my strength. Otherwise, if I have any treasures on me, they will be taken away by others as well." Han Chen held onto the flame phoenix jade pendant tightly, a pair of clear eyes surging witesolute light.

  Chapter 86 - Visiting the Liu Family

  In a quiet little courtyard, Han Chen sat quietly at the hallway of his room. He spread his hands out with his palms facing up. Two clusters of flame-like glow began to pulsate within his hands.

  "Gather!"

  Han Chen frowned, the light was actually changing his form at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, it turned into two 20 centimeters long red crescent moons.

  He continued to circulate Martial Energy. Then, a layer of substance-like flame suddenly lit up on the surface of the crescent moon. He could clearly feel the scorching air currents in the air.

  "Change!" Han Chen secretly shouted once more as the two crescent moons began to violently move. It instantly merged together and then transformed into the appearance of a bird or beast.

  As the flames became increasingly hot, the outline of the bird became increasingly solid. Surprisingly, one could faintly hear the high-pitched chirping of birds.

  "Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens!"

  Bang! Han Chen's body trembled, the ball of fire in his hand exploded open, and a burst of energy undulated outwards, then disappeared.

  "Sigh!" Another failure. " Han Chen looked at his hands in annoyance.

  What he used just now was a martial arts technique that he had comprehended from the Flaming Phoenix Statue at Phoenix Village. Han Chen had even given this techniquesounding name, "Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens".

  In the past, he had only grasped a tiny bit of it. In the past few days, he unintentionally discovered that the Sacred Artifact Flame Phoenix Jade Pendant could let Han Chen understand this technique deeply. Thus, in the past period of time, he barely went out. He had always been practicing "Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens" and "Great Void Dragon Wandering Steps".

  "If your cultivation level isn't high enough, then it'll be difficult." Han Chen also understood one of the reasons, it was mainly because his own strength was still too weak.

  At the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was unable to control the consumption of Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques, which was why he failed again and again. However, what made Han Chen happy, was that with the help of the Flame Phoenix Jade Pendant, the lethality of the "Crescent Moon" he was using had increased by a lot.

  "Han Chen." At this moment, a call was suddenly heard from outside the courtyard.

  "Hmm?" Han Chen could not help but be taken aback.

  Then, he saw a young disciple in his early twenties walk in. Han Chen's figure moved. It drew an afterimage in the air and stopped right in front of the other party.

  "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The man didn't even have the time to react. He thought that he had seen a ghost and collapsed backward in fright.

  "Whiz!" The airflow trembled lightly again as Han Chen flashed behind the opponent, supporting his back, he stabilized his body. Are you okay? "

  "Are you going to scare me to death? "What bad luck." The man shrank back as he glared at Han Chen in dissatisfaction, "Aren't you afraid of scaring people to death by suddenly appearing?"

  Han Chen also felt that he was in the wrong, and touched his nose in embarrassment, as he said with a slight smile. "I don't know either. There will still be people coming here."

  "Hmph, it seems like no one is willing to come." The man cursed in a low voice, then said coldly, "Today is the engagement date between young master of the Liu Family and Miss Ji Family. Our Bai Clan is also among the invited. Young Master wants me to come over and tell you, go to the main hall and wait for him. "

  Ji Rushi and Liu Yifeng's engagement?

  Han Chen could not help but be taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "What does that have to do with me? Could it be that I am still among those who are being invited? "

  "I don't know about that. You just need to go." The man looked impatient.

  "Alright!"

  "Hah! Hurry up!" "Don't dilly-dally."

  After sending the other party off, Han Chen's expression darkened slightly as he frowned. After a brief moment of thought, he went back to his room to change his clothes. He also carried the "Belt Soft Sword" he had bought from the Jade Talisman Tower not long ago. After that, he walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the front yard of the Bai Clan.

  Along the way, they met many Bai Clan servants. However, when they looked at Han Chen, there warace of a strange expression in their eyes.

  After a moment, Han Chen arrived at the entrance of the great hall, and stepped inside. Many pairs of eyes looked over at the same time. Bai Hong, the White Army and the rest all wore faint smiles on their faces. This feeling was as if there was going to be a good show to be had soon.

  There were about a dozen people in the hall, and two middle-aged men stood on top of them. One of them was Han Chen's first uncle, Bai He. The other one had a refined appearance. It was his second uncle, Bai Hao. He was also the father of Bai Jun and Bai Yu.

  "Chen'er, you're here." When Bai Hao saw Han Chen coming over, his face revealed a warm smile.

  Chen'er? Hearing this familiar name, Han Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart. In the entire Bai Clan, besides his parents. Only his second uncle, Bai Hao, called him that.

  The reason why Bai Hao didn't reject Han Chen was because he had doted on his little sister, Bai Muxuan the most in the past. Bai Hao was one of the few people who was concerned about Han Chen.

  Bai Yu stood beside Bai Hao and looked at Han Chen calmly.

  After a moment of absent-mindedness, Han Chen walked to the center of the hall and cupped his fists. "Greetings, First Uncle and Second Uncle."

  "Hmph." First Uncle Bai He snorted coldly and ignored him.

  Se
cond Uncle Bai Hao smiled and stepped forward to say, "Chen'er, I've just returned from outside not long ago. I didn't know you were back! Have you seen Grandpa? "

  "Nope." Han Chen answered honestly, and a look of disappointment flashed past his eyes.

  Bai Hao helplessly shook his head, "It doesn't matter, he's still in closed door cultivation. I'll see you when he comes out. "

  Seeing Bai Hao so concerned for Han Chen, his son Bai Jun, who was nearby, was clearly unhappy. Bai Hong who was beside him exchanged glances, and could not help but reveal a look of contempt.

  "Chen'er, how were you doing in Mystical Peak? "How strong are you now?"

  "Second brother." Without waiting for Han Chen's answer, Bai He interrupted Bai Hao's question. He rolled his eyes and said lightly, "It's getting late, we should also go to the Liu Family."

  Bai Hao did not refute him and nodded. He said to Han Chen, "Let's talk when we come back."

  "Yes, second uncle."

  A troop of almost 20 people headed towards the Liu Family. In Hidden Court City, the Liu Family was a first-class family with a lot of powerful warriors. Their overall strength was equivalent to that of the Bai Family. Aeputable family, for such an important matter like the engagement of a young master, naturally they had to invite guests from all four sides.

  Bai He and Bai Hao led the group, along with some of the clan's most outstanding disciples. However, in the eyes of Bai Hong and the Bai Jun, it was not as simple as Liu Yifeng and Ji Rushi betrothing him.

  At this time, the Liu Family was already bustling with noise and excitement.

  This was only a betrothal, not an official wedding. If that day came, it would be even more lively. Even so, the scene was still rather grand.

  The front yard of the Liu Family was full of guests. The big red carpet in the middle was covered with a layer of red petals. The patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xuan, was a middle-aged man in his forties who was greeting guests with a smile on his face. Liu Yifeng was also standing behind him. With his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor.

  Although Liu Xuan had a gentle face, anyone who was familiar with him would know. He was a complete, smiling tiger, and his personality was quite vicious. This was only natural. As the head of the family, if he wasn't ruthless, how could he stand firm on his feet?
