Chapter 12: The Imperial Capital's Top Bachelor Rankings
Under the scorching sun, here is the imperial capital, the streets are crowded with people... The prosperity of the capital can be imagined!
Of course, what is called prosperity cannot be generalized, the world is always an era of two extremes, rich and poor, noble and humble, are also connected and inseparable.
Walking on the main street, feeling the fiery atmosphere that is even more intense than the scorching sun, Chen Ye took a few deep breaths, he hadn't lived in such an atmosphere for a long time.
After a long silence, Chen Ye let out a soft laugh. Since they were starting over again, everything had to change along with it. The past no longer existed and shouldn't have existed in the first place!
Born and raised in the imperial city, even though I've been out less often over the years, I'm still very familiar with this capital. As I walk along, my mood has changed, and the scenes that enter my eyes have also changed.
As he walked slowly, Chen Ye's expression suddenly tightened - the bustling main street, perhaps in his own contemplation, had become quieter, and also seemed to have a faint but extremely sharp sword intent that had unknowingly locked him down.
Due to the small knife's cause, the mysterious energy gate was once again opened at dawn and night. The reason for the hard training of these few days, holding back a breath of air, was that the dawn and night cultivation had made a breakthrough in the many years of stagnation of the heavenly moat, reaching the fourth layer of the acquired realm!
Even on the Xuan Qi Road, Chen Ye couldn't move again at night, but relying on his current Jiaolong body entrance method, ordinary people simply can't do it. In this silent and soundless manner, he was locked down by the sword intent.
Then it must be a master of one side.
Under the sharp sword intent, Chen Ye smiled faintly, in the imperial capital, the imperial power was high above, and the various major aristocratic families stood together. Although it is said that the Xuanqi Dao is the eternal ruler of the world, if the Great Huaxia Empire does not have enough military strength, how can it suppress the many forces within the empire?
To know, these forces are not the major powers of the imperial court, but many sects in the wild!
These sect forces, even if the Great Huahua Empire is now in its heyday, without a solid reason, the current imperial family would not dare to suppress and destroy them casually!
And every time the imperial court changed hands, these forces were always in control, it can be imagined how powerful they were.
The imperial capital, naturally has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with countless masters. But as before, Chen Ye can't possibly know every master living in the imperial capital. However, due to Chen Ye's unique identity, for him, all the masters living here won't be strangers!
The royal family is indeed the leader of the Great Huahua Dynasty, but after the Holy Master's passing, the Chen family has become the undisputed first family of this dynasty. Mr. Chen's greatness is not only reflected in his military leadership and strategic planning, but also in his powerful cultivation.
At this moment, the sword intent locked on, Chen Ye didn't sense too much killing intent, but this in itself was a provocation.
Throughout the entire Dahua Empire, there were many who dared to provoke the Chen family. However, without exception, behind every provocateur stood a powerful force. Otherwise, no one would dare!
As soon as I came out, I encountered this matter. Obviously, the other party had already figured me out. Rather than avoiding it all the time, I might as well go and see who it is.
Over the years, under the dominance of the imperial family, there have been more and more people who have become enemies with the Chen family, intentionally or unintentionally. With memories that transcend the past six years, those enemies are well-known to the Chen family, including those hidden ones who strike at the last moment, and Chen Ye is also clear about them in his heart.
It seems unnecessary to take a look at who is provoking.
However, all Chen Ye knew was that those people were against the Chen family, and he didn't know what kind of conspiracy they had. The current Chen Ye didn't have enough powerful martial arts to kill everyone off yet.
The old master of the house might have been able to do this, but unfortunately, in Chen Ye's memory, the old master did not guard the Chen family well!
Along the direction of the sword's intention, Chen Ye slowly walked forward, and gradually, perhaps due to the existence of the sword's intention, there were fewer and fewer people on the long street. In the end, within Chen Ye's line of sight, there was only one person standing with his back to him, hands behind his back.
This is a young man in his early twenties. Although Chen Ye couldn't see his face at night, he could sense a hint of calmness emanating from him.
This calmness complements his sword intent perfectly, giving this young man a powerful and confident aura that ordinary people do not possess!
What attracts Chen Ye at night is not the young man himself, but the long sword held in his hands behind him!
The sword is like its owner, itself also appears extremely calm and composed, even under the continuous emission of sword intent, it still cannot cover up the spread of the calm meaning, in this way, Chen Ye seems to be able to see that within the ancient simple scabbard, the extraordinary long sword!
"Good night!"
The young man called out faintly, and slowly turned around, as he faced Chen Ye, his sword intent suddenly became overwhelmingly powerful. Although with his current strength, he was still unable to break through the void with just his sword intent alone, however, this kind of sword intent permeated the space, seeming to blur it slightly.
"Vanish!"
Chen Ye's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and it was actually him?
Xiao Mo, the entire imperial capital is familiar with him, including the powerful masters within the various large aristocratic families, as well as those people deep within the palace.
Because Xiao Mo is one of the top five excellent characters on the Imperial Capital's Jun Yan Bang!
The Emperor's Outstanding Youth List, which includes all the outstanding young people in the imperial city, from the princes and princesses in the palace to the aristocratic families in the capital, as well as ordinary influential families and even common households!
As long as there are outstanding performances on the Xuanqi Road, they can all be shortlisted for the Emperor's Capital Junyan List, and the ranking will depend on each person's cultivation, talent, potential, and age!
The imperial capital is so vast, and there are so many young and handsome men, but the Imperial Capital's Handsome Men List only includes fifty people in total. It can be imagined that those who appear on this list are exceptionally outstanding, and Xiao Mo has even entered the top ten, ranking fifth!
Such an excellent person, it's hard not to attract others' attention.
She gazed at Chen Ye for a long time, then smiled faintly and said, "I heard from Zhang Sun Fei that you've changed a lot. At first, I didn't believe it, thinking he was just making excuses for his own embarrassment that day. Now it seems you really have changed!"
Tokyo Junichi rankings, an absolute authority exists, every person on the list relies absolutely not on family background and connections.
So, Xiao didn't have absolute confidence in himself, and the sword intent he emitted was indeed locked onto Chen Ye, but if Chen Ye was truly a complete waste, then although he could feel the existence of the sword intent, he would be unable to follow it to his location.
From this point on, Xiao Mei was clear that tonight's date was no longer the rumored date of these years.
"What a pity... Xiao didn't smile and said: 'Unfortunately, you are no longer the same person as four years ago.'"
A careless sentence, Chen Ye understood it, and his eyebrows furrowed again, not because the sentence was too piercing, but because he had experienced too much, seen too many worldly vicissitudes, and would not be angry at this sentence, but Xiao Mo's attitude!
The Xiao family, in the imperial capital, is not very prominent. The old master of the Xiao family did not have any great achievements, and after the establishment of the Great Hua Dynasty, he was just an ordinary official on the court. Compared to the Old Master Chen and the Old Master Zhangsun, the people of the Xiao family are not worth mentioning!
Such an ordinary family, if it weren't for Xiao Mo's exceptional innate talent, in the imperial capital where dragons and snakes coexist, the Xiao family wouldn't have attracted much attention.
Just because the Xiao family is insignificant, logically speaking, today's Emperor would not use the Xiao family as a blunt knife. However, now that Xiao Mo has come to provoke him, Chen Ye does not think this is an action taken by the Xiao family to curry favor with the imperial family!
Perhaps the Xiao family had such an idea, after all, the Chen family was so high and mighty, and Old Master Chen was so famous and powerful, but in the eyes of many people, he was still a subject.
Ke Chenye was very clear in his mind that with Xiao Mo's innate talent for cultivation, unless something unexpected happened, he would definitely be able to break free from the shackles of the imperial court. As long as he temporarily showed diligence and loyalty to the royal family, he wouldn't suffer oppression from them. It wasn't necessary to come and offend the Chen family at this time!
The situation has not been clarified, and the royal family has not made up its mind about how to deal with the Chen family. Those who are not worthy of consideration, rashly make an enemy of the Chen family, even if the Chen family is low-key, it's not something that just anyone can come and mess around with.
Seemingly noticing Chen Ye's confusion, Xiao Mo faintly smiled and said: "Chen Ye, I came to find you today, it was just my personal actions. The one I wanted to find was Chen Xuan, not you. What qualifications do you have now that would make me come see you in person?"
