Chen Buhui continued to chat with Chen Changli a little longer, before he left the Southern Continent without staying any longer. As for Chen Changli, he immediately summoned the elders of the Chen Clan and warned the people of the Chen Clan not to disturb Qin Nan, or reveal his ident.i.ty to the public.

It went without saying that Qin Nan was completely unaware of this.

He had put all of his focus on the saber intent. As he finished comprehending the saber intent inside the residence, he took a stroll around the Chen Clan, visiting every corner.

He continued to comprehend along the way.

Five days later, he had finished comprehending every saber intent in the Chen Clan. He returned to the residence and began cultivating in seclusion.

“The saber intent seems like a mess, but they are actually linked.”

“If the Aromatic Inn were a fragmented piece of saber intent, the entire Chen Clan would be considered a complete piece.”

Qin Nan murmured as a pattern appeared in his mind, which consisted of the different streams of saber intent.

His Divine Sense guided the saber intent to their respective positions like a giant hand.

…Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Chen Clan…

Chen Changli held a cup of hot tea glancing at Bai Qinglian and said with a smile, “Qinglian, there’s no need to be this formal, bringing so many gifts to visit me. Just tell me what you need.”

He was very satisfied with Bai Qinglian, as she had brought many treasures that he was interested in.

Bai Qinglian wore a charming smile as she probed, “Uncle Chen, to be honest, I have a friend who had some conflict with Mister Chen Rong a while ago. Does Uncle Chen know about it?”

Five days ago, when Bai Qinglian heard that Qin Nan had caused a great scene in the Chen Clan, her face turned dark instantly, as she did not expect this Qin Nan to be so daring.

Later, after pondering for a night, she clenched her teeth and decided to come and rescue Qin Nan.

The main reason was that her Bai Clan’s status had been threatened recently, thus they were looking for some experts to help them. Secondly, although she was not too satisfied with Qin Nan’s personality, he was still a great candidate overall.

Therefore, she had spent the past few days collecting rare artifacts before visiting Chen Changli.

“Mm? Are you referring to Cultivator Qin Nan?”

“Yes…it’s him.”

Bai Qinglian was startled for a moment, before nodding her head.

She actually had no idea what Qin Nan’s name was before this.

That being said, did Chen Changli just address Qin Nan in a relatively friendly manner?

“Hehe, so you are also Cultivator Qin Nan’s friend. What happened before was entirely my son’s fault, and I’ve already taught him a great lesson. As for Cultivator Qin Nan, do you want me to let someone bring you to him?” Chen Changli wore a gentle smile as he spoke in a friendly tone.

He was aware that Bai Qinglian had no idea who Qin Nan was.

However, that was reasonable too. If it weren’t for Chen Buhui, they would have no clue of Qin Nan’s ident.i.ty either.

Bai Qinglian was stunned upon hearing this.

Huh?

Why was the situation different than what she had imagined?

Shouldn’t Chen Changli be wearing an icy expression, thus she would need to beg for his mercy to spare Qin Nan’s life?

She clearly knew the personality of their National General, who was far from being a righteous, fair person. If anyone were to bully Chen Rong or offend the Chen Clan, he would not show any mercy.

And now…

What was going on here?

“Su…sure.”

Bai Qinglian could only nod with a blank face.

“You piece of s.h.i.+t, come in here and bring Qianlian to Cultivator Qin Nan!” Chen Changli snapped.

A while later, Chen Rong immediately hurried to the hall with a pleasant smile, “Sister Qinglian, come with me, I’ll bring you to Brother Nan.”

Bai Qinglian was even more confused upon hearing this.

Brother Nan?

Did she hear it right?

Was this still the Chen Rong she knew?

Finally, under Chen Rong’s lead, Bai Qinglian arrived at Qin Nan’s residence with a blank expression.

When she saw the residence was extremely s.p.a.cious, thick in Qi, and constructed with ancient minerals and fragrant woods, her figure subconsciously shuddered.

It was different than what she had imagined once again.

She thought Qin Nan would be detained in an icy cellar, but he was placed in a luxurious residence instead.

“Brother Nan, can we come in? Mistress Bai Qinglian wants to see you.”

Chen Rong spoke with absolute respect standing at the entrance.

“Come in.”

Qin Nan’s voice could be heard coming from the residence.

“Sister Qinglian, you may enter, I won’t be following you. By the way, do help your brother with a favor. Please say good things about me to Qin Nan, I’ll be utterly grateful!” Chen Rong transmitted his voice to Bai Qinglian with a pleading look.

Bai Qinglian nodded blankly before entering the residence.

“Why are you here?” Qin Nan exhaled deeply, allowing his aura to calm down.

Streams of saber intent gathered on his forehead, which slowly formed three lines of saber runes.

They were the result after Qin Nan had organized his findings from comprehending the saber intent in the Chen Clan. Although Qin Nan was still clueless as to how the three lines of saber runes were related to the Sky-Desolating Saber Art, he was satisfied to have some improvement compared to before.

“You…”

Bai Qinglian’s brain was in a complete mess, who failed to find any words after staring at Qin Nan for a while.

Everything that had taken place was beyond her expectations, which caused her to feel extremely confused.

Qin Nan immediately understood after seeing her reaction, which filled his heart with a hint of warmth.

This Bai Qinglian was most likely here to help him.

Even though Bai Qinglian might have done so because she had a favor to ask, it was surprising that she would go this far to help him.

“I’m a friend of Chen Yun, so Patriarch Chen treated me as a guest instead of punis.h.i.+ng me.” Qin Nan explained.

“Is…is that so?”

Bai Qinglian recovered from the shock upon hearing this, but her eyes were filled with a hint of suspicion.

She would not believe that Chen Changli and Chen Rong’s would be respectful to him just because he was Chen Yun’s friend.

However, since Qin Nan had said so, she had no reason to ask further.

“By the way, since you’re here, why don’t you bring me to the Bai Clan?”

Qin Nan asked.

He had finished comprehending in the Chen Clan, thus there was no need for him to stay any longer.

“You want to visit our Bai Clan? That’s great, why don’t you be our Honorable Guest? Don’t you worry, the Bai Clan will not mistreat you.” Bai Qinglian blurted out with glistening eyes.

Although everything that had happened today was too unbelievable, her goal all along was to acquire Qin Nan’s a.s.sistance.

“Honorable Guest? I’ll pa.s.s, but if you have any trouble, I’ll help.” Qin Nan said.

“That’s what you’ve said, it’s a promise.”

Bai Qinglian blurted out. Meanwhile, she made up her mind that she would try her best to recruit Qin Nan into the Bai Clan at all cost.

“Come, I’ll bring you to the Bai Clan.”
