Nine Major Immortal Clans Extending Friendliness

Who is Ye Beixuan?

Before Chen Chang'an emerged, he was universally acknowledged as the number one prodigy, a man of absolute integrity who would never stoop to lying. Thus, his words carried immense credibility.

"No way!"

"That’s insane!"

"Completely defenseless?"

"Are you saying even if we all attacked together, we’d still get wiped out in an instant?" Su Wenqian asked, his face a picture of shock.

"Defenseless? I didn’t even get a chance to strike before I was defeated."

"Honestly, if we hadn’t exchanged a few words, I’d have been back even sooner," Ye Beixuan said with a bitter laugh.

"Details? Give us the details."

"What exactly happened?"

"Yeah, spill it. Is he really that strong?"

Under the weight of their curious gazes, Ye Beixuan helplessly glanced at Chen Chang'an.

"Go on."

"I’m enjoying this."

Chen Chang'an’s words made Ye Beixuan’s face darken. Did he really love hearing others sing his praises? What kind of hobby was that?

Shouldn’t a true powerhouse be low-key?

Shouldn’t a true powerhouse embody the dignity befitting their status?

Why was none of this evident in Chen Chang'an?

"If you’re all so curious, why don’t you challenge him yourselves?"

"No, no, we don’t have a masochistic streak."

The moment these words were spoken, Ye Beixuan’s face turned green. What the hell? Were they all treating him like some kind of fool?

But upon reflection, he realized he might indeed have been a fool. What was he thinking, challenging Chen Chang'an? Wasn’t that just asking for humiliation?

And it wasn’t just physical—it was psychological torment too!

"Anything else?"

"If not, I’ll take my leave."

Chen Chang'an had no interest in sticking around for idle chatter. But as he turned to go, Mu Yunhai hurried over.

"Brother-in-law, where are you headed?"

"Mind if I tag along?"

"I’m bored out of my skull here. Besides, don’t you want news about my sister?" Mu Yunhai asked with shameless persistence.

News about Mu Yunyao?

That did pique Chen Chang'an’s interest. Since arriving in the Ancient Immortal Domain, he hadn’t heard a single word about her.

"Brother Chen! Brother Chen!"

"Allow me to introduce myself—I’m Su Wenqian, from the Su Family, one of the Nine Great Immortal Clans."

"These fellows here are also from the Nine Great Clans."

"We’re all peers. How about I host a gathering? Let’s find a place to chat."

Su Wenqian’s move drew silent curses from many onlookers.

"Dammit, he beat us to it."

"How could I forget about this?"

"Ugh, this guy’s too sharp. I nearly overlooked the most important thing."

Their presence here wasn’t just to witness Chen Chang'an’s prowess. Each of them carried a mission: to befriend him and forge a good relationship.

As for the idea of nipping him in the bud? The elders of the Nine Great Clans had never even entertained such a thought.

A prodigy of this caliber wasn’t so easily killed. Such individuals often carried immense destiny, even the power to alter the fate of the entire Ancient Immortal Domain.

Killing someone like that? That would be courting death.

Only a fool would provoke such a person!

Chen Chang'an glanced at Su Wenqian, recognizing his intent to build a connection. This wasn’t a bad thing—more friends meant more paths. Who’d want enemies at every turn? Only someone with a death wish.

"Nine Great Clans, huh?"

"So, is someone from the Wang Family here too?"

His gaze swept over the others, causing Wang Tiangang to cough awkwardly.

"Well, I… I’m from the Wang Family."

"But we’ve already disciplined Wang Zhiwei thoroughly. From the start, we never intended to cause you trouble."

"Also, the marriage arrangement between Mu Yunyao and our family has been canceled."

"Mu Yunhai can vouch for that."

Since arriving in the Ancient Immortal Domain, Chen Chang'an hadn’t heard any rumors of the Wang Family hunting him down.

Though Zhou Yuanxiong had once warned that the Wangs might come after him, nothing had materialized.

Had the Wangs chosen to wait and observe from the very beginning?

No wonder they stood among the Nine Great Clans. Their leaders weren’t fools—they knew better than to act rashly.

"Brother-in-law, I can confirm this."

"The Wang Family really did call off the engagement with my sister."

"And they never planned to trouble you."

"It was all Wang Zhiwei acting on his own."

"Wang Tiangang here is a decent guy—good character."

Mu Yunhai’s defense earned him a grateful look from Wang Tiangang. The last thing he wanted was to offend Chen Chang'an before even getting started.

"I see."

"Then it’s fine. We’re all friends here—I won’t hold grudges."

"Don’t worry. Since your family knows how to behave, so will I."

"Consider the past water under the bridge."

Wang Tiangang exhaled in relief. "You’re magnanimous, Brother Chen."

"Not at all."

"It’s just who I am… exceptionally outstanding."

"Alright, alright, enough standing around."

"Let’s change locations."

"What do you say, Brother Chen?"

Su Wenqian could already tell—Chen Chang'an’s shamelessness knew no bounds. If left unchecked, who knew what other boastful claims he’d make?

"Fine. You’re sure you’re paying?"

"Of course! My treat—I wouldn’t dream of making you spend," Su Wenqian said with a smile.

"Good!"

"Then tonight, we drink till we drop!"

Chen Chang'an’s grin sent a chill down Su Wenqian’s spine. Why did he suddenly feel a sense of impending doom?

"Big bro!"

"Eating and drinking?"

"I’m back! I’m back!"

"Count me in!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Just then, Da Huang and his two companions—who’d earlier been clamoring to visit the brothel—came trotting back.

Chen Chang'an gave Da Huang a skeptical look. Skipping the brothel? That wasn’t like him.

"Back so soon?"

"Brothel closed today?"

"Big bro, what kind of dog do you take me for?"

"How could I bear to be away from you?" Da Huang huffed, feigning offense.

"Big bro, it ran out of money. Tried borrowing from the Ancestor of the Qi Family and the others, but now they treat it like the plague. No one would lend a coin, so it had to come back."

"You damn turtle! Did I ask for your commentary? Can’t you shut up for once?"

"Look at my little brother Earthworm—not a peep out of him!"

Da Huang shot Yi Tuo a glare before turning to Chen Chang'an with an ingratiating grin.

"Whatever. Not worth arguing. You can join us."

"Hehehe, knew you’d say that. Best big bro ever!"

"Everyone, you don’t mind, right?"

Mind? How could they? What were three more mouths when they were already hosting Chen Chang'an?

Without waiting for Chen Chang'an to lead the way, Su Wenqian ushered them to the finest restaurant in the City of Heavenly Pride.

"Bring out the best wine and dishes—spare no expense!"

"Today... there's more than enough!"
