Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 23: The News of the Destiny Protagonist! The Fallen Genius!

After a while, 

the emotions of Ying Shuangshuang and Chen Tianliang finally calmed down. 

With these two items, Chen Tianliang no longer doubted that Chen Zhixing's words were false. After all, while words can be fabricated, these items cannot. There’s no way Chen Zhixing could have fabricated such miraculous items.

"Should we inform the family about this?" Chen Tianliang still asked with some excitement.

Ying Shuangshuang thought for a moment and then looked at Chen Zhixing, asking, "Zhixing, since you brought these items, what do you think?"

"Me?" Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow and said in a childish voice, "We can't let bad people find out about these treasures; we need to keep them hidden."

There were several reasons for his statement. One of the reasons was that his recent lie wouldn't hold up under much scrutiny. If this matter were exposed, the family would surely pay great attention to it, and he might even risk being exposed.

Upon hearing this, Ying Shuangshuang thought it over and then nodded, "Zhixing has a point. If Chen Tianxiong’s branch learns that Tianliang obtained the antidote for the Reverse Disease, they might try to cause trouble."

"Let’s keep it quiet for now. When our strength is sufficient to handle any issues, we can reveal it then."

The three of them exchanged glances and made their decision.

Before long, there was a series of knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" Chen Tianliang asked.

"It’s me."

Chen Daoyan’s voice came from outside the door.

"Head of the family? Please come in," Chen Tianliang said quickly.

The door creaked open, and Chen Daoyan strode in with an imposing demeanor.

He scanned the room and said, "How are you feeling now?"

"I’m still the same, as you know," Chen Tianliang replied with a bitter smile.

Chen Daoyan nodded and sighed, "Tianliang, from now on, you should rest within the family and avoid going out to fight."

Chen Tianliang merely hummed in response.

Chen Daoyan then shifted his tone and said, "Tianliang, Shuangshuang, I’ve investigated the identities of the people who attacked you."

"You know Kuimu Zhenren and Zhuang Wuxian, so there's no need to elaborate on them."

"But the last person has a rather special identity."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianliang and Ying Shuangshuang immediately fixed their gazes on Chen Daoyan, and Chen Zhixing also quietly looked up.

Ordinary people would never dare to attack the direct descendants of the Chen family right under their noses. The identity of such a person would surely not be simple.

Chen Daoyan began to speak slowly, "This person is named Meng Dongchun and comes from the Meng family in Qingzhou."

"What? The Meng family in Qingzhou?"

Chen Tianliang and Ying Shuangshuang’s pupils contracted immediately.

The Chen family has many enemies, and among them, the Meng family is one.

The Meng family was once one of the Immortal families, but now their situation is similar to the Chen family’s; they have declined, and there are no Immortal Realm experts among them.

"Yes, it’s them."

Chen Daoyan nodded and said solemnly, "After analyzing the scene, it seems their attack on you and your spouse was merely a pretext; their real goal was to kill Zhixing!"

"Tianliang, have you ever leaked the news that Zhixing is a Nine Ancient Pattern holder?"

At this point, Chen Daoyan’s expression became serious.

The Chen family had drawn attention with the appearance of Chen Zhaosheng as a Nine Ancient Pattern holder. If news of Chen Zhixing being a Nine Ancient Pattern holder were to spread, it would undoubtedly bring great trouble to the Chen family!

"No, Head of the Family, you misunderstood," Chen Tianliang quickly explained the true reason behind Kuimu Zhenren’s attack on Chen Zhixing.

After Chen Tianliang finished speaking, Chen Daoyan’s expression softened slightly. "So, the attack on Zhixing was just an act of revenge? Hmph, the Meng family nearly destroyed a potential dragon of our Chen family. This matter will eventually be settled with them!"

Chen Daoyan snorted coldly and then seemed to remember something, smiling slightly, "By the way, there’s a rather strange incident involving the Meng family recently."

"Oh? What is it?" Chen Tianliang asked with interest. Rarely did something that even the Head of the Family found intriguing occur.

Chen Daoyan smiled and said, "A few years ago, the Meng family had a prodigious talent, a so-called 'Qilin Child.' You must have heard of him. He progressed from the Treasure Body Realm first stage to the Spirit Nourishment Realm ninth stage in just three years!"

"Of course, I remember," Chen Tianliang nodded. The Meng family’s prodigious talent had caused quite a stir in the cultivation world at that time.

Chen Daoyan continued with a smile, "Yes, this person, however, has been experiencing strange circumstances since the beginning of this year. Not only has his cultivation not advanced, but any spiritual energy he absorbs seems to vanish as if it had sunk into the sea. His cultivation has even been regressing, and now, in just a few months, he has only the Body Realm third stage left. It’s truly bizarre."

"The Meng family head has sought countless medical experts to determine the cause, but no one can find an explanation. In the end, they had to give up on the Qilin Child. Now, many people view him as a joke, and even the saintess who had an engagement with him is preparing to break the engagement with the Meng family."

As soon as these words were spoken,

"Ha ha ha, such good news? Could it be that even the heavens are against the Meng family?"

Chen Tianliang laughed heartily, and Ying Shuangshuang also smiled slightly.

Only Chen Zhixing’s pupils shrank suddenly.

A fallen genius, breaking off an engagement,

This fits the script of a destiny protagonist perfectly!

"I remember that in 'Great Cultivation,' one of the nine main storylines features a protagonist with the exact setup of this fallen genius!"

At this moment, Chen Zhixing's mind was swirling with emotions.

He didn’t expect that the destiny protagonist of this world would appear so soon!

"Should I eliminate this destiny protagonist now?"

A fierce killing intent flashed through Chen Zhixing’s eyes.

In the nine storylines of 'Great Cultivation,' the fates of the antagonists, including Chen Zhixing, always end with being defeated by the destiny protagonist.

Rather than waiting for the destiny protagonist to grow and become a threat,

It’s better to act now and eliminate the threat in its cradle!

These thoughts flashed through Chen Zhixing’s mind.

Soon, Chen Zhixing shook his head.

The script of the destiny protagonist was just beginning. The Meng family would not easily give up on their destiny protagonist.

Moreover, he currently lacked the ability and opportunity to infiltrate a Immortal family to kill the destiny protagonist.

Even with Chen Tianliang and Ying Shuangshuang, they would still be insufficient.

"Not in a hurry. According to the storyline, this destiny protagonist should remain dormant and despondent for several years, then experience the saintess breaking off the engagement, and in a fit of anger, tear up the engagement contract, leading to his awakening and subsequent rapid growth."

"I still have time."

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, his expression somber.

Moments later,

Chen Zhixing lifted his head and put on an innocent expression, asking in a childish voice, "Grandpa, what’s that person’s name?"

Chen Daoyan was momentarily taken aback and then replied with a smile, "I think his name is Meng Hedong."

"Meng Hedong, huh?"

Chen Zhixing lowered his head, silently memorizing the name in his heart.

He must find a way to deal with Meng Hedong!
