Chapter 168: The Blossoming Flower

It turns out that Chen An's thoughts were a bit too much.Liang Yao's explanation greatly surprised him.

"You're saying all of this was just a dream you had?"

Chen An stood up abruptly, looking at Liang Yao in astonishment.

Before the other party spoke, he had considered what explanation the other party might give.

It could be casual dismissal, or perhaps some bizarre and complicated story.

But he never expected this answer.

To say it was a dream was acceptable.

"I know it sounds absurd, but that's the truth."

Facing Chen An, Liang Yao smiled and softly said, "Since childhood, I've had a special ability, being able to dream of things that might happen in the future."

"That's why I can stand here."

She didn't hide much from Chen An, directly revealing her ability to dream of the future.

However, she deliberately omitted the part about the formation.

This was her usual strategy.

Even if someone was a powerful warrior, when faced with someone who might be able to predict the future, their first reaction was likely to use them.

After all, the ability to foresee the future was extremely powerful, and if used correctly, it could be quite useful.

Of course, she hid the part about the formation map.

Otherwise, if someone found out, they might have some improper intentions in order to obtain the map.

It would be like setting a trap for themselves.

In the past, Liang Yao had fooled many people with this trick.

Mr. Zhong was one of those who had been gradually won over by her.

And now, facing Chen An, she was using the same old tricks.

"How can you prove it?"

Frowning, Chen An asked.

He didn't immediately believe the other party.

That was certain, as the ability to predict the future sounded a bit insane.

If it was true, it was almost like cheating, similar to activating a god mode.

"That can be easily proven."

Liang Yao smiled, as if she had anticipated Chen An's question, and softly said, "I have some knowledge about what will happen in the future."

"If nothing unexpected happens, in two months, there will be unusual changes at the Bai family's ancestral land, and news of a mysterious treasure about to be born will spread."

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

As she spoke, she detailed many more specifics.

Chen An listened in silence, starting to believe a bit.

Because what she said was so detailed, it seemed as if she had personally experienced it.

Just this level of detail was not something easily fabricated.

Moreover, considering her identity, it didn't seem necessary for her to fabricate such a large amount of information just to deceive him.

Chen An couldn't help but ponder.

At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind.

To take action now and deal with her directly.

From the perspective of power, the two parties did have a grudge.

He still remembered the attack on Bai Qing before.

He wasn't ready to act immediately before because he didn't see the princess in front of him as a threat.

So there was no need to take action at the Bai family's residence or to act immediately.

It would be much quieter to wait for her to leave before making a move.

But now the situation seemed a bit different.

Chen An was somewhat shocked to realize that the other party was not the sheep he thought but someone with a similar power-up.

The difference was that he had an upgrade power-up, while she had a predictive power-up.

This suddenly increased the danger.

Calculating it, it would be more practical to deal with her swiftly.

Just as Chen An was planning how to act quickly without causing trouble for himself, Liang Yao seemed to sense something and her gaze fell on him.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling surfaced in his heart.

It was a difficult feeling to describe, making Chen An feel very uncomfortable, as if there was a faint sense of danger.

As if there was some dangerous thing targeting him in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.

An extreme sense of danger.

At that moment, he felt a chill run through him, silently dismissing his thoughts.

Indeed, it wasn't going to be that easy.

The other party knew Chen An's strength, yet she remained calm in the Bai family's residence, seemingly fearless.

It seemed that she had some cards up her sleeve.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

If the other party really was a person who could foresee the future and had a predictive power-up, then even if she had mediocre talent, she probably wouldn't be lacking in good things.

At least, if it were Chen An in this situation, he would surely try to gather all sorts of good things to protect himself in such circumstances.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen An temporarily set aside his plans and calmly asked, "What do you want?"

"The Princess has told me so much, it surely wasn't just to tell me a story, right?"

"Of course not."

Liang Yao smiled, "These messages are just a gift for Mr., a sort of proof from my side."

"After this, I have something else I want to discuss with Mr."

"Oh?"

Chen An became interested, "What does the princess want to discuss with me?"

"Naturally, it's a big deal."

Seeming to sense Chen An's interest, Liang Yao smiled even more, her smile becoming increasingly radiant.

Later, Chen An left Liang Yao's courtyard and fell into contemplation.

Meanwhile, Liang Yao stood alone at the gate, watching Chen An's figure leave, a faint smile on her face throughout.

"Princess, is it really okay to reveal your plans to him like this?"

Standing beside Liang Yao, Mr. Zhong couldn't help but ask, "What if he..."

"What can he do?"

Liang Yao smiled, cutting off Mr. Zhong's words, "I just told him about this matter, but he doesn't know the specific details or locations."

"If he really wants to get involved, he'll have to come and ask me to join our team in the end."

"What if he refuses?"

Mr. Zhong asked again.

"If he refuses, then so be it."

Liang Yao raised her head and looked into the distance, "But he's a smart man, he'll know how to choose."

"Continuing to stay in this place doesn't benefit him at all, it will only delay his progress."

"If he chooses to leave with us, with his talent, he will definitely make great strides in the future, and he might even become a top-notch figure among ancient immortals, who knows."

She spoke softly, murmuring to herself, and as she spoke, a look of longing emerged in her eyes, as if she greatly yearned for it.

On the other hand, Chen An returned to the mansion, still deep in thought, looking particularly troubled.

It was fortunate that Bai Zhilan was not at home at the moment, as she had gone out on business. Otherwise, seeing him in his current state would have revealed that he had something on his mind.

Chen An was still thinking about Liang Yao's situation.

The amount of information given by the other party in their conversation was too much.

"Crossing over to cultivate?"

Chen An lowered his head and began to think seriously.

According to Liang Yao, the reason she came to the Bai family was for a secret treasure within the Bai family's grounds.

And the reason for wanting to obtain this treasure was to use it to hire several powerful individuals.

How strong were these individuals?

At the level of grandmasters.

In other words, they were at the innate level.

At first, Chen An was quite surprised to hear this.

What kind of situation would require hiring several innate level individuals?

You're not thinking of seizing power from the current emperor and taking his place as the emperor yourself, are you? Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴ0velFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

But even if that were the case, there was no need for so many innate level individuals.

One should be enough.

An innate level individual can confront a kingdom, and given the current situation in Da Liang, just one innate level person could force the Da Liang emperor to abdicate, allowing another to ascend the throne.

An innate can confront a kingdom - this was not just talk, it was truly possessing that level of power.

But it was clear that Liang Yao did not have such intentions.

The final explanation she gave was surprising to Chen An.

Crossing over.

Yes, the Princess of the Da Liang's Changping District had laid all this groundwork, with so many preparations, just to open up a formation and go to another world.

Of course, according to the other party's words, it wasn't called another world, it should be considered another domain.

But in Chen An's understanding, it was just a different name.

To go to such lengths just to go from this world to another world initially seemed unreasonable.

But for the princess, it seemed reasonable.

According to Liang Yao's own account, the Princess of Da Liang's Changping District had had a small wish since she was a child.

She didn't want to die, she wanted to live forever, and she never wanted to grow old.

For this reason, she had strived for it.

She had practiced martial arts, but unfortunately, her talent in the martial arts field was just too poor; no matter how hard she tried, she didn't see any results, and in the end, she had to give up.

But in comparison to her talent in martial arts, her talent in cultivating was top-notch.

She quickly learned all the remaining methods and inheritance left by ancient immortals, and no matter how you viewed it, her talent in cultivation was top-notch.

However, unfortunately, the spiritual energy of this world had not fully recovered.

Although the methods left behind by the immortals could be cultivated, it was extremely difficult, and for the most part, they were not very useful.

Liang Yao, even though she had memorized all of these methods and techniques, couldn't advance with them, let alone reach the level of an ancient immortal.

This was not allowed by the environment.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have had to accept their fate in such a situation.

But Liang Yao wasn't an ordinary person.

After all, she had a power-up.

After a long time peering into the future in her dreams, she had actually found a viable path forward.

The solution was actually quite simple.

Since the environment in this world did not allow cultivation, I'll just change to a different environment!

Fortunately, she knew of a pathway that could lead to another flourishing world of cultivation.

As long as she could travel to that world, Princess Liang Yao's talent would naturally be able to be realized, combined with her unique predictive power, the future was very promising.

However, it was somewhat difficult to enter that channel, and she would be unable to enter alone.

Therefore, she had to find some help.

And in order to find help, she had to offer very compelling incentives.

That was why she had come to the Bai family's residence.

Listening to this, Chen An could understand.

In his past life, he didn't know how many people fought to live despite being seriously ill.

After all, what good is death compared to clinging to life?

If there was no chance, then it couldn't be helped, but since there was an opportunity, of course, one had to take a chance, otherwise how could one be content?

Even if he were in Chen An's shoes, he would probably take a risk as well.

After all, even if he failed, the ultimate result would only be death.

There were no problems logically.

But for Chen An, the key issue was how to make use of the other party and also guard against her, that was the crux of the matter.

Should he cooperate, or secretly seek an opportunity to deal with her?

These were all issues that were worth contemplating, and Chen An thought about them deeply.

Unknowingly, the outside sky had darkened.

Footsteps outside caught Chen An's attention, rousing him from his thoughts.

He looked up at the sky, watching the dusk fall, finally shaking his head.

What was the point of thinking so much?

After all, the true situation of the other party was still uncertain.

It's possible that she didn't even have the ability to predict the future; it was just a bluff.

Standing quietly in place, Chen An looked at the sky outside, pondering this thought.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.

During these two months, the Bai family's residence remained calm.

There were no significant events happening everywhere.

Apart from Bai Qing's continued absence and Liang Yao, the Changping Princess, staying at the Bai family without leaving, everything else seemed unimportant, just trivial matters.

Yet, life was like this. Just when you thought life was calm, it would surprise you with something unexpected, hitting you hard.

One day in the early morning, a burst of light suddenly shot out from the Bai family's ancestral land, soaring towards the sky.

The radiance illuminated the surroundings, pure white at first, then divided into various colors like a rainbow, looking colorful and vibrant.

The brightness scattered around, filling the area with brilliance and a unique fragrance bloomed, creating a special spectacle.

This grand scene immediately attracted many onlookers.

On that day, nearly half of the Upper Element City's people could see that in the direction of the Bai family's ancestral land, there seemed to be a bright and vibrant flower blooming, appearing extraordinarily colorful and bright.

"What is that!"

People around the area showed surprise on their faces, rushing towards that area.

However, the Bai family was prepared and quickly blocked off the various regions, completely driving away the outsiders.

This was, after all, the Bai family's ancestral land, how could they allow outsiders to trespass?

The implication was that everything in this place belonged to them, and it had nothing to do with the outsiders around.

This kind of domineering attitude naturally made people dissatisfied, but it was a common occurrence.

After all, the Bai family was a prestigious family, and they usually behaved arrogantly in the Upper Element City, where the common people didn't have the qualification to defy them.

This time was no different.

Seeing that what was in the Bai family's ancestral land, the people quickly dispersed.

But they soon gathered again.

Because the identity of that thing had been recognized by someone.
