Chapter 951
Internal Struggle
Although Duan Changsheng and the Jade Emperor were shocked, they quickly accepted the fact that Duan Yeming was going to be Lin Xiao's bodyguard.
"Tsk tsk tsk, young friend, you've really impressed me. You've actually managed to get Ye Ming to willingly become your bodyguard."
Duan Changsheng knew Duan Yeming very well. He could tell that Duan Yeming was acting as Lin Xiao's bodyguard without any dissatisfaction or resentment; he was truly willing to do so.
Lin Xiao simply smiled indifferently upon hearing this.
"Hehe, calling him a bodyguard is really just asking Brother Duan to protect me. After all, my strength is currently low, and there are too many powerful people in the Immortal Realm. If I have a powerful person like Brother Duan to protect me, I think I will save a lot of trouble and my life will be more secure."
"Hehe, Lin Xiao, right? Alright, since Ye Ming treats you with such respect, come, come, come with me. Stay at my home for a few days and let me show you some hospitality."
The Jade Emperor said with a smile, without the slightest air of arrogance in his words.
"This senior is named Duan Xuanyu, and he is at the Immortal Emperor realm. People call him the Jade Emperor. Although he is an Immortal Emperor, he is extremely approachable. He is known in our Duan family for being down-to-earth. More importantly, the Jade Emperor and I were both born into a collateral branch of the Duan family."
Duan Yeming looked straight ahead, but opened his mouth to explain to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked Duan Xuanyu up and down with curiosity; he was indeed a very easy-going senior.
The group followed Duan Xuanyu into the Duan family mansion.
Although it is called a mansion, the family mansion built by the Duan family is like a sky city, covering an extremely large area, probably not much smaller than the Tianyuan Small World.
"Wow, what a grand gesture! It feels even grander than the Eight Immortal Palaces."
Lin Xuan surveyed his surroundings with his divine sense and was quite amazed by the Duan family's profound resources.
However, upon further reflection, it makes perfect sense. The Eight Immortal Palaces suffered extremely heavy losses in their fight against the evil race millions of years ago. In particular, the Eight Immortal Venerables poured most of the Eight Immortal Palaces' resources into the front lines of resisting the evil race. This meant that the Eight Immortal Palaces indeed did not have enough resources to open up an alternate dimension and then repair it to such a powerful state.
Another more important reason is that the Eight Immortal Palaces are still one of the main battlefields against the evil race. If the Eight Immortal Palaces hide in another dimension, then the Eight Immortal Realms will probably face annihilation.
"Your Majesty the Jade Emperor."
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Jade Emperor."
The Duan family members who came and went all bowed to the Jade Emperor. Some of them were extremely curious when they saw Duan Yeming's face. Could it be that the God of Slaughter has returned?
Although the Jade Emperor was only a member of a collateral branch of the Duan family, his cultivation level at the Immortal Emperor realm was undeniable. Even the young masters and ladies of the main branch had to respectfully bow to the Jade Emperor and address him as "Your Majesty the Jade Emperor."
"Hehe, Xuanyu, why are you finally willing to go into seclusion today? Don't you usually prefer to go into complete seclusion?"
At this moment, a powerful figure landed, followed by several other figures whose auras were also quite strong.
"Who do we have here? What brings such a busy person like you out here?!"
Duan Xuanyu looked at the figure and couldn't help but tease him.
"Hehe, Xuanyu, I have received news that Duan Yeming has returned."
At this moment, the figure looked at Duan Yeming, who was standing to the side and behind Duan Xuanyu.
Duan Changsheng immediately looked at Lin Xiao beside him.
"You're not from the Duan family, so you don't know. This person is Feng Huang of my Duan family, named Duan Shenfeng. He is a Third Tribulation Immortal Emperor, one tribulation stronger than the Jade Emperor. Moreover, Feng Huang and the Jade Emperor don't get along very well, because Feng Huang is from the main lineage, which is not comparable to the side lineage."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing these words, feeling that this large family was a bit too complicated, unlike their Lin family, which was very harmonious and united.
Lin Xuan sighed slightly. The next time he returned to the Lin family, there might be factions, but with his elder brothers still around, the internal situation could remain stable for the time being.
Of course, small factions, cliques, and gangs are unavoidable.
"Ye Ming greets Lord Feng Huang!"
Duan Yeming walked out confidently and bowed to Duan Shenfeng. Duan Shenfeng looked at Duan Yeming, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Huh? The Hell Lotus Poison in your body has actually been cured!?"
It's no wonder Duan Shenfeng was so surprised, after all, even their Duan family patriarch was helpless against the Hell Lotus Poison in Duan Yeming's body.
The Duan family patriarch was a genuine Ninth Tribulation Immortal Emperor, yet he still had no clue about the Hell Lotus Poison, which was enough to show how terrifying the poison was.
Even the Duan family patriarch declared that only a Celestial Venerable could save him, but now he has actually been cured?
"Hehe, this is all thanks to your good fortune, sir. It really has cured me."
The people behind Duan Shenfeng all looked at Duan Yeming.
"So you're Duan Yeming? Heh, you don't seem that impressive."
The speaker was a Celestial King.
Duan Yeming looked at this person and frowned slightly. He had lived in the Duan family for hundreds of thousands of years, so how come he had never seen such a person before?
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Tianxi, and I am an inner sect elder of the Xuanming Immortal Sect."
Wu Tianxi's words cleared up Duan Yeming's doubts.
So he's an elder of the Xuanming Immortal Sect. No wonder I didn't recognize him.
"I came to the Duan family this time to propose marriage. The person I'm proposing to is the third young lady of the Duan family, Duan Wuxue."
Upon hearing Duan Shenfeng's words, Lin Xiao could clearly feel a slight tremor in Duan Yeming's body.
"Lin Xiao, I can guarantee that this Duan Yeming and that Miss Duan are definitely having an affair!"
Lin Xuan's voice suddenly appeared in Lin Xiao's mind.
Lin Xiao was both amused and exasperated by Lin Xuan's gossipy tone.
"Elder Xuan, what do you think?"
“My spiritual sense is so strong that even the Duan family patriarch probably can’t compare. When I mentioned the third young lady of the Duan family earlier, Duan Yeming’s body trembled. That can’t be faked; there’s definitely something wrong with him.”
Lin Xuan, at this moment, was just like a bystander watching a melon on the street, nodding and commenting.
Lin Xiao smiled wryly, not answering Lin Xuan, but standing quietly to the side, watching the internal struggle within the Duan family.
"How could it be Third Sister?!"
The Jade Emperor was very puzzled when he heard the name Duan Wuxue.
"Hehe, Wu Xue is quite good. She has the special physique of Jade Void Saint Body. This physique is also of great benefit to Daoist partners. In addition, Wu Xue is indeed very beautiful. It is normal for Tian Xi to be moved. Moreover, the two of them are indeed a match made in heaven."
Duan Shenfeng explained with a smile.
"fart!"
Duan Yeming suddenly roared.
"presumptuous!"
Duan Shenfeng was furious, and his Immortal Emperor aura pressed down on Duan Yeming like a flood bursting its banks. (End of Chapter)
