Chapter 66: Always Unprepared

  The chaos in the Imperial City lasted for three whole days!

  In these three days, everyone witnessed the extraordinary overbearingness and demeanor of Old Man Chen, while some people finally saw it again.

  In three days' time, most of the noble families in the imperial capital had been visited by the Chens, and after they left, what was left behind was a trail of devastation, a pitiful sight to behold.

  The slaughter was no longer as brutal as it was on the first night, but the extent of destruction was even worse!

  Grandpa Chen's actions shocked everyone, but also made everyone very puzzled.

  If it's said that this opportunity is used to thoroughly eliminate some people, one night's time would be enough, why bother making a fuss for three days?

  Even those old foxes who were officials in the same dynasty couldn't understand it!

  In the small courtyard, Old Man Chen faced the void with a faint smile: "On the first night, I was killing chickens to scare monkeys. For the next two days, I just wanted everyone to see clearly that I have the ability and even more so the courage to deal with all kinds of challenges, especially the challenge from the Emperor."

  "Tonight, I'm doing this, will it give you confidence in me, and will it dispel the sad doubts in your dreams?"

  The imperial capital was in chaos for three days, and Chen Ye had also been cultivating for three whole days!

  The Great Silence-Extinction Heart Technique is indeed extraordinary, and although he has only just come into contact with it, he can already sense the profundity of this technique.

  Not only is the absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy faster, but also the speed of circulation in the microcosm is faster. Under the Dajianxintu gong method, the refined Xuanqi is more pure than before.

  This alone is enough to predict that the Great Silence and Extinction of Mind Technique is extraordinary!

  Three days later, in the Imperial City, a strong sense of tension still lingered in the air, as no one knew whether the Chen family would make another move that night.

  Therefore, in the once bustling city, there are not many people on the long streets. Even if there are people, they are all in a hurry, afraid of encountering some unnecessary trouble.

  The entire city, although not too devastated, was filled with a desolate atmosphere wherever one went, and it was hard not to feel a sense of melancholy.

  Looking ahead at a wine building, Chen Ye smiled and walked in, casually found a table by the window and sat down, calling out: "Boss, bring a few small dishes, brew a pot of tea!"

  "Alright!"

  The capital was in chaos, causing these usually prosperous places to be deserted. Seeing a customer coming in, the wine shop owner treated himself as a waiter and hurriedly welcomed him.

  When he saw the guest's face, his joyful smile immediately turned into boundless sorrow. That mouth that was usually so quick-witted and articulate was now stuttering and couldn't utter a single complete sentence for half a day.

  "Chen, young master Chen, you...you..." You've been saying that for half a day, but still can't come up with a reason.

  "Today, I'm here to eat something, not to look for trouble. Your Loulan Building isn't even worth me getting angry."

  Old Master Chen's anger instantly threw the imperial capital into chaos. Although the Xiao Yue Lou had considerable power and influence, it was only in comparison to ordinary citizens. In Old Master Chen's eyes, they were nothing but a side dish.

  The matter of being sold out by the owner of the Lou Wumen on that day must have made the former's life worse than death in these three days.

  Sometimes revenge is necessary, but it doesn't have to be murder.

  "Yes, yes, young master, wait a moment, good dishes and fine wine will be here soon."

  Jian Chenye really didn't mean to make a fuss, so the wine shop owner let out a sigh of relief and hurried off to prepare.

  "We don't need wine."

  "Yes, yes, yes!" The tavern owner bowed and scraped again before turning around and leaving.

  The business of the wine house was not very good today, but there were still a few people. After Chen Ye arrived, it immediately became quiet. It's really been a while since his name has been echoing in people's hearts.

  But at some point, Chen Ye suddenly discovered that the wine house was too quiet, a silence that wasn't just the absence of noise, but seemed to be the stillness of people's souls, giving off a slightly eerie feeling.

  Chen Ye raised his head and looked around, finally finding the reason.

  On a table on the left side, a woman was sitting. She wasn't sitting in a chair from the wine building, but rather a wheelchair. Apparently, the woman had some inconvenience with her legs and feet.

  Of course, this is not the main reason why women are attracted to him and make everyone here feel like their souls have been sucked out.

  The girl was about ten years old, with black long hair tied up with a purple ribbon and falling smoothly to her knees.

  Her shoulders were as slender as a knife cut, her waist was so thin that it seemed to be less than one grasp. Her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, her face was as beautiful as the national beauty, and her whole body was fragrant. Perhaps because of the illness in her legs, she looked like she had a cold and elegant temperament.

  It is this very aloofness that subtly keeps people at a distance, and combined with her stunning beauty, it only serves to attract people even more.

  Perhaps it was the unblinking gaze of these people that made her feel uncomfortable, the woman's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of displeasure.

  A woman on the lower left, there was an old man. Seeing that the woman seemed a bit unhappy, his eyes immediately swept away, and the sharp feeling in his eyes instantly made all the pairs of eyes retreat.

  A sword in the moonlight, a raised eyebrow, what a master!

  This old man should be the guardian of the woman. In the entire imperial capital, there are not a few people who can let a high-ranking cultivator like Chunxuan come to guard, but at least, such a person has an impression day and night.

  But this woman, he had never seen her before in his life.

  As a woman, it's normal to keep a low profile and not show her face often. Moreover, women have limited mobility and are not familiar with the world outside at night, which is also unavoidable.

  After a glance, Chen Ye was about to withdraw his gaze, but unexpectedly, the woman moved slightly at this moment. Her starry eyes met Chen Ye's gaze in mid-air.

  Both parties are unintentional, eye contact, and should have quickly looked away, unless one party intentionally wants to pay attention to the other.

  Zhen Ye thought he didn't have such thoughts, even if that woman's appearance was enough to make all the men in the world fall for her.

  However, in the instant when their eyes met, a mysterious and profound feeling suddenly arose in Chen Ye's heart.

  Zhenye dared to guarantee that he had never met this woman before, but this one glance made him feel as if he and this woman had a predestined appointment since their previous life, and in this life they would continue the unfinished romance of their past life!

  This is too strange!

  Chen Ye knew he was reborn, so for people he had seen in his memories, he had a special feeling, either treasuring them more or hating them even more... but never like this.

  He rummaged through all his memories, and it wasn't just that he had never seen a woman before, even the gaze of a woman was extremely unfamiliar to him. So, what's going on?

  It's just a glance, but it gives people a sense of past and present life, even a kind of destined encounter beyond fate... Could it be that I really had an intersection with her in the previous life? And the previous life is not the one that Zhenye still remembers!

  The woman's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her bright eyes also flashed a hint of confusion in an extremely short time. It was clear that she had the same feeling as Chen Ye in her heart.

  "A young lady often wonders, having seen Master Chen Xiao, whether she has the honor of being able to have a good chat with Master Chen?"

  "Obedience is better than sacrifice!"

  He didn't think about it anymore and got up, taking big strides towards the woman's direction.

  For him, even if the person in front of him is a trap, he will still jump into it. If he doesn't figure out where this strange feeling in his heart comes from, it will make people very uneasy.

  I believe she thought so too!
