In the inn, a couple was engaged in a heated conversation. These were just ordinary people! If he wanted to kill them, he could easily penetrate their minds with his soul power and eliminate them with a swift thrust. Of course, dealing with martial artists depended on the strength of their soul power.
Suddenly, Chen Anlin had a thought and smiled. Su Menghan had come to bring warmth on this chilly night. At that moment, Su Menghan stood at the door, seemingly hesitating whether to knock or not. Now, others regarded her as the young mistress of the Chen family; she could come and go freely without anyone daring to stop her.
She was conflicted about whether to knock. Rationality told her that a girl should be reserved. But could she really be reserved in this situation? Since the incident at the Hundred Flowers Sect, they hadn’t been together, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
At that moment, Chen Anlin opened the door. Seeing him made Su Menghan freeze for a moment. "Oh, Chen Anlin, you seem different."
Before her stood Chen Anlin, as if he had undergone a transformation; especially his eyes, which held a profound depth. "Have I changed? Am I more handsome or something?" Chen Anlin smiled.
"I don’t know; you just look better." In Su Menghan's eyes, it seemed like there was only Chen Anlin. She wanted to leap forward and examine every inch of him closely. She couldn’t hold back; she truly couldn’t.
Subconsciously, she fidgeted with her legs. "I can’t take it anymore."
Chen Anlin glanced down at Su Menghan's legs and said curiously, "Menghan, your ankles are sweating!"
"Ah, it’s just a bit warm."
"Let me cool you down." With that, he pulled Su Menghan into the room.
The next morning, upon learning that Chen Anlin was heading to the Northern Frontier, Su Menghan exclaimed in surprise, "You're going to the Northern Frontier too?"
"Yeah, why are you so shocked?" he replied casually.
"I heard that Zhao Yao and some classmates are also going to the Northern Frontier. By the way, that Xiao Chen has reportedly achieved some military accomplishments there and is doing quite well," Su Menghan shared her observations.
"Oh?" Chen Anlin squinted his eyes.
"Anlin, I want to go too. I don't want to just be the woman behind you," Su Menghan said, fully aware that only by progressing alongside her man could she avoid being forgotten.
Chen Anlin naturally agreed.
With that, after a brief packing, Chen Anlin took only a few attendants and set off for the Northern Frontier.
At the training grounds outside Qingtian Town in the Northern Frontier, early in the morning, Xiao Chen led dozens of teammates back from the battlefield.
As the soldiers were engaged in their morning exercises, they looked on with faces full of envy and admiration.
Xiao Chen had triumphed over the enemy and returned once again. During this time, he had led a group of underprivileged youths and accumulated numerous military achievements. Here, he was gradually making a name for himself.
He was nicknamed "The Madman."
On the battlefield, he charged forward like a madman, bravely fighting against enemies. The key was that he came from a humble background, surrounded by others from ordinary families.
Over time, many underprivileged youths grew to respect him.
After the morning exercises concluded, many gathered around Xiao Chen to listen as he recounted his experiences on the battlefield.
"Those enemies were nothing to worry about," he said nonchalantly.
As he finished speaking with a faint smile, his demeanor exuded an air of superiority.
Immediately, compliments filled the air around him.
Not far away, some privileged youths muttered under their breath, cursing him for showing off.
"It’s just a few patrol teams he killed; you'd think he took down a general or something."
Although the privileged youths were displeased, they dared not voice their opinions. Recently, several arrogant scions had been taught a lesson by Xiao Chen, which had allowed him to gain considerable notoriety. Listening to the praises of Xiao Chen around her, Zhao Yao felt a surge of excitement within her.
Chen Anlin, if you were here, you would surely admire Xiao Chen too! You have no idea just how exceptional he is; he has already reached the initial stage of the seventh rank! In Zhao Yao's eyes, although Chen Anlin had also reached the seventh rank long ago, she was certain he had relied on some sort of elixir. When it came to true excellence, Xiao Chen was undoubtedly superior.
Days later, Chen Anlin finally arrived at the training grounds in Qingtian Town, Beijiang. This place was specifically established by hundreds of academies across the Great Zhou for students to train. It was meant to help them adapt to battlefield conditions; otherwise, sending them directly into the army would result in a high casualty rate. These students were all exceptional individuals and could not afford any mistakes.
As soon as Chen Anlin arrived, the students at the Qingtian Town training grounds heard the news. Xiao Chen and his group of followers were gathered in a corner. When enemies meet, their eyes turn red with animosity. Seeing Chen Anlin arrive in a luxurious carriage made Xiao Chen instinctively clench his fists.
Chen Anlin, soon you will face the battlefield against the Northern Barbarians. At that time, you will understand just how cruel true combat can be; I hope you won’t be so frightened that you soil yourself.
"Xiao Chen, if Chen Anlin knew that you have a group of trustworthy brothers by your side, he would definitely envy you," Zhao Yao said with admiration.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, his lips curling up slightly. Indeed, he had gathered so many followers precisely to stand against someone like Chen Anlin. However, he did not expect that as soon as Chen Anlin stepped down from his carriage, a swarm of privileged youths rushed toward him.
Zhao Yao also spotted a familiar face among them—her best friend, Su Menghan. How could Su Menghan be walking with Chen Anlin? She felt a wave of disbelief wash over her.
