Chapter 311 - Clouds Over The Great Chen (1/2)

“Wow, Your Highness is so amazing,” the petite palace maid sitting on Chen Bantian’s left leg said as she covered her mouth, looking at him with reverence.

The other palace maids also cried out in awe, making Chen Bantian feel quite pleased.

He continued to pretend to be deep and said, “That boy Zhou Xuanji is quite amazing; I’m sure he’ll become number one in the world. However, that’s only temporary because in the future I will become number one in the world. If it wasn’t for my pointers, how could he have his current glory?”

The palace maids all praised him, making him feel as if his heart was going to fly into the sky.

At that moment, an unamused voice sounded out, “Oh? Is that so?”

Chen Bantian was surprised and instinctively looked around, but he did not see anyone else.

The palace maids also looked about; who dared to rashly speak out of line within the imperial garden?

Zhou Xuanji suddenly appeared on a tree. He was sitting on the tree trunk with his right leg over his left, a teasing smile on his face.

Chen Bantian quivered and shot to his feet. The two palace maids on his legs tumbled to the ground and cried out in pain.

Even though they had not seen each other in 20 years, Zhou Xuanji had become more mature, and Zhou Xuanji was wearing black clothes with gold threading, Chen Bantian could still recognise him at a glance.

He gulped and hurriedly asked, “Senior Zhou… Why have you come…”

His legs were trembling and even his voice was shaking.

The palace maids were stunned—Senior Zhou?

Could it be…

They closely examined Zhou Xuanji with wide eyes.

Wow!

So handsome!

it was the first time they had met such a handsome and spirited-looking man. This was especially so for his confidence, which seeped through with every movement; he was like an Emperor who looked down on the world.

Not only was he domineering, but he was also incredibly at ease, giving off the airs of someone who had drifted to the end of the world before.

“I can hear you boast,” Zhou Xuanji said with a smile that did not seem like a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Bantian immediately kneeled and said awkwardly, “I was wrong…”

He had been caught in the act, so no matter how he made excuses, it would be useless and could only admit it.

He was not ashamed of kneeling for Zhou Xuanji.

After all, Zhou Xuanji was already second in the world, and no one would feel that it was strange that the Crown Prince of the Great Chen would kneel for him.

“Have them withdraw; I have things to say to you,” Zhou Xuanji jumped down from the tree and said as he walked towards Chen Bantian.

Seeing Zhou Xuanji’s demeanor as he walked, the palace maids almost swooned.

“Hurry up and leave! No one is permitted to reveal that Senior Sword Emperor has come, or all nine generations of one’s families will be implicated!” Chen Bantian said as he glared at the palace maids.

He felt quite bitter; these girls had never looked so infatuated towards him before.

This was a big blow to his self-esteem.

After the palace maids left, Zhou Xuanji sat in front of the stone table, while Chen Bantian stood beside him and poured him wine. He gave a flattering smile as he said, “Senior Zhou, what did you want to say to me?”

Without Zhou Xuanji, he would have already died.

Even though it was him who had given Zhou Xuanji the map to the Tianxia Map, Zhou Xuanji had obtained it through his own abilities.

In his heart, he still remembered Zhou Xuanji’s kindness of saving his life.

Zhou Xuanji swirled his wine cup and said, “You’ve got big trouble coming for you. Yang Di, Tian, Chief Monk Xuanhe, and many other top-level experts are on their way to capture you.”

Chen Bantian was stunned, and in the next second, his expression became one of horror.

Yang Di!

Just those two words were enough to make his hair stand on end.

“Why, Senior Zhou? It’s not me who has the Tianxia Map!” He said in panic. After awakening the royal bloodline of the Yellow Dragon, his cultivation had been quickly increasing, and he was now close to breaking through to the Astral Projection stage.

However, in front of top-level experts, this kind of cultivation was far from enough.
