Divine King of Honour-Chapter 433 - Xu Tianxu’s Probe

Xu Nian, upon hearing Xu Tianhong's words, sneered inwardly.

Truly, Xu Tianhong was worthy of being a family head—his cunning was downright terrifying.

He even went so far as to address him, a mere junior, with such respect in front of so many people.

In reality, given his position as the Family Head Xu, he wouldn't be much inferior to him as an Alien Minister Elder of the Divine River Palace.

The fact he called him "sir" was actually to elevate Xu Nian very high.

By satisfying his vanity, the perception of the Xu Family would naturally improve as well.

An old fox is still an old fox after all.

However, he might have underestimated Xu Nian.

To know, after more than two years of experience,

Xu Nian had gradually grown into a Little Fox himself.

How could he possibly fail to see through Family Head Xu's little schemes?

Still, since Family Head Xu had extended an olive branch, there was no reason not to accept it.

Only, he would never pour his heart out for the Xu Family—that was absolutely impossible.

Perhaps, Xu Tianhong never genuinely considered having Xu Nian pour his heart out for the Xu Family.

He only wished to borrow the influence of the Divine River Palace.

"Family Head, there's no need to be so formal. They've only made a small mistake; merely punishing them for seven or eight years should suffice, rather than being too harsh," Xu Nian said with an air of nonchalance.

Xu Ming and Xu Zhong, however, were utterly flabbergasted.

Not harsh? This was exactly what they were talking about?

Their own father had only proposed a three-year punishment.

Xu Nian, on the other hand, casually suggested seven or eight years,

While asking their father not to be too harsh.

If they weren't afraid of angering their father, they truly wished they could slap Xu Nian to death.

What they couldn't figure out was why their father was going to such lengths to please Xu Nian.

On the side, Xu Tianxu was also hanging by a thread of curiosity.

He was eager to learn what was so special about Xu Nian.

"Tianxu, perhaps you are not yet aware, but Xu Nian has become the new Alien Minister Elder of the Divine River Palace. As for the status of an Alien Minister Elder within the Divine River Palace, you ought to know," Xu Tianhong said to Xu Tianxu.

"An Alien Minister Elder of the Divine River Palace?" Xu Tianxu showed a surprised expression.

Although the Divine River Palace hadn't seen an Alien Minister Elder for thousands of years,

Xu Tianxu still knew something about the history of the Divine River Palace.

He just hadn't thought that Xu Nian would become an Alien Minister Elder of the Divine River Palace.

No wonder his usually cold and ruthless big brother was going to such lengths to win over Xu Nian.

Xu Ming and Xu Zhong were also surprised.

Xu Nian was an Alien Minister Elder of the Divine River Palace?

How could the Divine River Palace let someone not even twenty years old become an Alien Minister Elder?

"Now that it's settled, Family Head, when can I undergo the Ancestor Vein Awakening Baptism?" Xu Nian asked.

He did not want to delay for too long.

Because every moment he delayed, his mother's safety was all the more at risk.

He had to take his mother out of the ancestral land as soon as possible; how could Xu Nian rest easy otherwise?

"I understand your feelings, but it's impossible to conduct the Ancestor Vein Awakening Baptism today. The Ancestor Vein Awakening Baptism requires the preparation of Dragon Transformation Pond Water, and filling the Dragon Transformation Pond with Dragon Transformation Pond Water will take three days. So, Xu Nian, you'll have to wait another three days," Xu Tianhong explained.

"Three days? That long?" Xu Nian frowned.

"Xu Nian, it indeed takes three days to prepare the Dragon Transformation Pond Water. Rest assured, as long as your mother stays in the safe area, her life will not be in danger," Xu Tianxu interjected.

Xu Nian, upon hearing this, could only helplessly nod his head.

Originally, he had thought he would finally see his mother, yet unexpectedly he still had to wait three days.

"Xu Nian, during these three days, why not stay at the Xu Family residence?" Xu Tianhong spoke up.

"Stay with us, I have much that I want to discuss with you," Xu Tianxu joined in.

"That would be fine, then I'll be imposing," Xu Nian replied, nodding his head, after Xu Tianxu had spoken.

"Imposing? From now on, the Xu Family is your home. I'll arrange accommodations for you," Xu Tianhong said with a smile on his face.

"There's no need for me, I will stay where my sister is. These people are my friends, I'll have to trouble the Family Head to arrange something for them," Xu Nian said.

At his words, Xu Tianhong immediately signaled the Xu Family Elder standing behind him to arrange accommodations for Xu Yu and the others.

Xu Nian, carrying the still unconscious Xu Xin, followed Xu Tianxu to his abode.

Xu Tianxu's dwelling came as a surprise to Xu Nian.

Rather than living in a grandiose hall akin to a palace like the rest of the Xu Family,

Xu Tianxu resided in a small bamboo house deep within a secluded bamboo grove on the back mountain.

The path was secluded, and all around were only the sounds of rustling bamboo leaves and birdsong.

After placing Xu Xin on the bed inside the bamboo house, Xu Nian stepped back outside.

To his astonishment, Xu Tianxu was holding a broom, sweeping the bamboo leaves that had fallen to the ground.

In that moment, Xu Tianxu seemed not at all like a warrior of the Saint Peak Level, but rather an ordinary old man.

He had a simple, unadorned air about him.

But upon closer inspection, Xu Nian was startled.

He found that Xu Tianxu stood there, completely blending in with his surroundings.

No matter from which angle

you considered launching an attack, there were no flaws.

Even if one were to attack, Xu Tianxu would be able to respond immediately.

And if Xu Tianxu wanted to kill him, it would surely be done in a single move.

"What kind of comprehension has he reached?" Xu Nian wondered to himself in shock.

He was certain that Xu Tianxu's level of comprehension was far superior to his own,

for a mere Peak of Body Saint could not possibly exude such immense pressure.

"You've comprehended the Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation?"

Just as Xu Nian was internally marvelling at Xu Tianxu's level of comprehension, Xu Tianxu suddenly turned and asked.

"Yes, Grandfather!" Xu Nian responded.

"Strike at me with all your might; I wish to see the extent of your comprehension," Xu Tianxu stopped his sweeping and addressed Xu Nian.

Xu Nian heard him but did not move.

"What's the matter — afraid your attack might injure me? Haha, within the Saint Realm, I dare not claim to be undefeated, but those who can injure me are truly few and far between. If you truly manage to hurt me, I'll be satisfied even in death. Just go ahead and strike," Xu Tianxu laughed heartily.

"Alright, then I must apologize in advance, Grandfather." Xu Nian no longer hesitated, and as he spoke, an Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.

"An Immortal Sword? Interesting. That should be something from the Imperial Family. It seems the rumors of you killing two Princes of the Emperor's Royal Family are not unfounded," Xu Tianxu's gaze was sharp, instantly recognizing the origin of the Immortal Sword in Xu Nian's hand.

Xu Nian merely smiled faintly, his eyes brimming with intense fighting spirit.

He had agreed to fight because he too wanted to see just how far his grandfather's level of comprehension had reached.

"Grandfather, be careful!"

With a loud shout from Xu Nian, the Green Silk Sword Energy surged forth.

With a single slash,

green Sword Threads instantaneously swept towards Xu Tianxu.

The green Sword Threads exuded a strong sense of cutting power.
