The breeze brushed by, and just as the voice came, an old man with an immortal aura and plain clothes drifted in from outside the square. In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside Ye Xuan.

The appearance of this elderly man in his simple long shirt did not seem to bring any imposing aura, yet he could not be ignored by the crowd, like a deep water bomb cast into a calm lake, stirring up waves of chaos!

For not only was Wang Family's patriarch's Void Palm Seal instantly dissolved, but the old man's arrival was also so eerily peculiar that no one noticed him! It was as if he had always been part of the Wang family, and no one could figure out how he arrived, appearing on the square out of thin air.

Not only them, but even the two main figures, Wang Chaoyang and Ye Xuan, were extremely astonished by the appearance of someone who should not have been here.

They never anticipated this arrival, catching both off guard! This suddenly appearing old man who nullified the attack was none other than Ye Xuan's master, Chen Xuanba!

That day, after Chen Xuanba left Wolong Mountain with Lin Tong and others, he did not return to East Sea City but instead headed straight to Shangjing.

Upon arriving in Shangjing, he parted ways with Lin Tong and the others and went alone to Tianlong Mountain, arriving just in time to save Ye Xuan earlier.

Seeing his master appear, Ye Xuan opened wide his mouth, stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing maniacally: "Hahaha! Old bastard, you finally left that mountain nest, so it seems your flawed divination didn't fail!"

Chen Xuanba's face turned dark, his mouth muscles twitching as he said sternly: "You little rascal, show some respect for your master in front of outsiders!"

"Tch, old man, aren't you all about keeping up appearances even at your age?"

Ye Xuan curled his lips, but seeing Chen Xuanba's face growing darker, he shrank his neck and quickly held back his words, solemnly saying, "Master, you came just in time, your disciple is being bullied here, you have to take back this place for me! This damned old thing is too detestable, using the Wang family's influence to bully your most adorable disciple, even letting his grandson come to snatch my wife! Look at how my face is beaten; how will I eat with this face in the future? What's most outrageous is, this old thing even wants to extort you, Master! You are my most revered and beloved Master, I can't stand this, and can you just swallow your anger, and let this old man trample on you? Today, you must teach him a hard lesson, otherwise, it would tarnish your lifetime of fame, and your disciple here would be ridiculed walking across the martial realm..."

Ye Xuan babbled on endlessly, while Chen Xuanba remained calm, seemingly used to its brazenness!

But Wang Chaoyang, hearing these words, was fuming, his beard flaring. He had never been so maligned, almost rushing forward to strangle the boy.

Previously, he thought Ye Xuan had a decent and forthright style, a truly upright iron-blooded man, never expecting his ability to distort truth, turn black and white, to be so effortless! And the way he called him 'old thing' truly was the height of shamelessness!

Now he saw clearly the true nature of this boy, thinking just now he was too lenient; he really should have slapped him to death.

"You punk, weren't you injured? Why so much nonsense?" Chen Xuanba gave him a sidelong glance, asking.

"Hehe, isn't it because Master suddenly appeared, did I miss you?"

Ye Xuan grinned, speaking seriously.

"You want me to get revenge for you?"

Chen Xuanba hit the nail on the head.

"No way, Master, I genuinely miss you, and even if you hadn't shown up, I planned to finish this affair and visit you up the mountain!"

Ye Xuan's face turned solemn, but under Chen Xuanba's calm gaze, his chest involuntarily lowered, giving an embarrassed smile: "Alright, since Master is here, this is also a small matter for you to handle, right?"

Taking out a small porcelain bottle from his chest to toss over, Chen Xuanba said: "Done speaking? Now get out of the way."

"Alright! Master, I'll step aside first; this old thing is all yours."

Ye Xuan grabbed the small porcelain bottle, immediately pulled the cork open, poured out a light green pill from inside, popped it into his mouth without a look, chewing it like a spice bean, happily dashed to the side.

After Ye Xuan left, Chen Xuanba turned his gaze to Wang Chaoyang opposite him, lightly stroking his beard, saying: "Wang family's old man, not seeing you for years, I thought you were dead."

"Hmph, shouldn't I say the same to you? You've been missing for years, those old friends back in the day thought you had gone ahead of us!"

Wang Chaoyang flicked his sleeve, snorting coldly.

"Haha, as long as you all are alive, how could I bear to die first." Chen Xuanba smiled faintly.

"Don't talk nonsense with me, just now your disciple cussed me thoroughly, you heard it all, how should we resolve this?"

Wang Chaoyang questioned coldly, his old face almost dark as coal.

"That's just kids being ignorant and joking, no need to take it seriously!" Chen Xuanba shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chaoyang glanced at him, raising an eyebrow: "Chen brother, we haven't seen each other in years, how has your nature changed? You used to be so spirited, now you seem more reserved."

Chen Xuanba said: "Life is but a fleeting century, just a blink of an eye! The path is simple, and on the long road, if one is always caught up in the worldly turmoil of emotions and desires, when can one truly seek the path? Now I understand, the higher one goes, the more you must maintain reverence! The path is long, one should open one's heart and mind, embracing all, detaching from worldly concerns, to walk further in this lifetime."

Wang Chaoyang furrowed his brows, nodding with a sense of understanding: "You're right, the higher one goes, the more one can ignore worldly attractions. To touch the elusive path in this lifetime is our pursuit! Abandon mundane concerns, single-mindedly seeking the path!"

"The word 'Dao' is elusive; having such an understanding is rare! No wonder you've made another breakthrough today, stepping into the realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster! I must congratulate you on this."

Chen Xuanba gently smiled, bowing slightly towards Wang Chaoyang.

"Ah, Chen brother, I have merely just stepped into the grandmaster level, compared to you, I am still far behind! To make another breakthrough, I fear it's hopeless within ten years, and my gap with you is only widening."

Wang Chaoyang sighed, then with his eyes slightly flickering, he shifted his tone: "However, Chen brother, you are a great talent in the path of medicine, if you could grant me a few Spiritual Pills, it might help me make another breakthrough soon! I wonder if Brother Chen could fulfill this wish?"
