Collecting Powerful Girlfriends: My Invincible Harem

"Originally, I didn't want to get involved in your personal matters, but your words are simply unacceptable."

As Murong Fu and the others turned their heads to look, Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and spoke with a hint of mockery in his voice.

"If you say that the current status of the Murong family doesn't match up to you, the young master of the sect, there's some truth to that."

"But if you say... that Miss Murong isn't worthy of you, then I have to disagree."

Saying this, Xiao Chen put down his teacup and continued with a teasing tone.

"Because in my opinion, the one who isn't worthy... should be you!"

After these words fell, the hall fell into a dead silence.

Everyone stared blankly at Xiao Chen, even Murong Qingxue looked up, clearly shocked by his words.

One was a handsome and elegant young master with talents far surpassing ordinary people, and the heir to the Supreme Sword Sect.

The other, although the daughter of a city lord, looked neither human nor ghostly.

Anyone with eyes could see who was unworthy of whom between Nalan Shijie and Murong Qingxue.

But Xiao Chen said that it was Nalan Shijie who wasn't worthy of Murong Qingxue, which was simply turning the truth on its head.

"Hahaha, you actually say that I, the young master, am not worthy of this woman?!"

Hearing Xiao Chen's bizarre statement, Nalan Shijie was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud in anger.

"Anyone with eyes can see the truth, yet you dare to twist it here. Do you have a peculiar liking for such oddities?!"

Hearing Nalan Shijie's sharp and sarcastic words, Murong Fu's fists clenched tightly again, almost unable to resist the urge to punch Nalan Shijie.

However, he was curious as to why Xiao Chen would say such things, so he took a deep breath and forced himself to hold back.

After all, Xiao Chen had claimed with absolute confidence that he could cure Murong Bo.

Could it be that he had already seen through Murong Qingxue's condition?!

"My preferences are none of your concern. You only need to know... I am merely stating facts."

Hearing Nalan Shijie's sarcasm, Xiao Chen didn't get angry but smiled faintly and said.

"Let me put it this way..."

"A pearl covered in dust, even if most people can't see its brilliance, is still something unattainable."

"And a dung beetle covered in gold, no matter how shiny it looks on the outside, is still a repulsive piece of waste."

Xiao Chen didn't speak plainly but used a metaphor.

But anyone with a bit of sense could tell who he was referring to as the pearl covered in dust and who was the dung beetle covered in gold.

"You dare to insult me, the young master?!"

Nalan Shijie's face turned livid with rage, and he was about to step forward to teach Xiao Chen a lesson, but he hesitated when he saw Cai Yan staring at him.

Feeling a bit intimidated, he snorted coldly and said.

"I, the young master, broke through to the Spirit Aperture First Realm at the age of eighteen. I am the top genius in the Great Qian Dynasty."

"What qualifications do you have to mock me, the young master?!"

After saying this, Nalan Shijie immediately unleashed his cultivation aura, staring at Xiao Chen with an imposing presence.

Although he didn't dare to harm Xiao Chen directly due to Cai Yan's presence, he couldn't afford to lose in terms of aura.

With such an impressive cultivation achievement, he was confident he could crush Xiao Chen's spirit!

"Eighteen years old, reaching the Spirit Aperture First Realm, and you think you can look down on the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"Then what about me, who hasn't even turned eighteen and has already reached the Spirit Aperture Seventh Realm? Can I look down on the entire Eastern Wilderness?!"

Seeing Nalan Shijie acting like a rabid dog eager to show off his strength, Xiao Chen stood up with a cold smile, and his cultivation aura erupted.

The powerful aura of the Spirit Aperture Seventh Realm instantly crushed Nalan Shijie's momentum.

Nalan Shijie's pupils contracted violently, and everyone present was shocked.

"No, impossible!!"

"How could someone under eighteen reach the Spirit Aperture Seventh Realm?!"

"This is absolutely impossible!!"

Feeling Xiao Chen's overwhelming aura, Nalan Shijie shouted in disbelief.

He had a Heaven Rank mid-grade martial talent and was the top genius in the Desolate State. How could anyone be more monstrous than him?!

"A frog in a well cannot comprehend the vastness of the sky."

"So don't use your limited understanding to deny the existence of others."

Seeing Nalan Shijie's defeated look, Xiao Chen retracted his aura with a look of disdain.

"In your eyes, Miss Murong is a grotesque oddity, but do you know that beneath this seemingly ugly exterior lies a face of unparalleled beauty?"

"Even disregarding her true appearance, her martial talent alone would leave you in the dust!"

Boom!!

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Murong Fu and Murong Bo felt as if their minds were struck by thunder.

They looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief, as if realizing something, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Young Master Xiao, could it be... you've seen through my daughter's condition?!"

As this trembling question was asked, Murong Qingxue, who was outside the hall, stood up and looked at Xiao Chen with trembling eyes.

For so many years.

The world saw her as an oddity, a monster neither human nor ghost, and even she thought so.

But today.

When she was hit by the blow of a broken engagement and harbored thoughts of death, a stranger stood up and said she was a pearl covered in dust!

That beneath this seemingly ugly exterior lay a face of unparalleled beauty.

And that even her occasionally ailing body had a talent that could outshine ordinary people?!

"That's right."

Xiao Chen nodded calmly and said.

"Miss Murong's condition is due to congenital deficiencies and an overly powerful constitution, causing the original yin energy in her body to go out of control, leading to her current state."

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Murong has undergone eight instances of hair shedding and often loses control during full moons."

"Even her dantian frequently experiences excruciating pain, making each episode unbearable!"

These words.

Nalan Shijie and the gray-clad elder were completely baffled, but Murong Fu and Murong Bo trembled even more violently.

Even Murong Qingxue herself was filled with disbelief.

Everything he said was true!

Murong Qingxue's hair did indeed fall out and regrow, and it had happened eight times.

Even Alchemy King Gu Qinghe couldn't see through this!

Yet Xiao Chen, just by sitting in the hall and glancing at Murong Qingxue outside, could accurately describe all her symptoms.

Could this Young Master Xiao be a disciple of some legendary medical sage?!

"Since Young Master Xiao... has seen through my daughter's condition, may I ask if you have a way to cure her?"

Feeling an unending sense of shock, Murong Fu took a step forward and asked Xiao Chen with a trembling voice.

"Just as I said before..."

"Miss Murong's condition might seem insurmountable to others, but to me, it's a minor issue."

"But the premise is, the conditions I propose, your Murong family..."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and spoke with a calm demeanor.

But before he could finish his sentence.

Murong Fu's pupils contracted violently, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.
