Everyone was curious about Chen Nan's identity, but no one knew for sure.

The only thing they could confirm was that Chen Nan was definitely not an ordinary loose cultivator; his background must be very profound, otherwise, he wouldn't be living in the South Mansion, and the Kuang Clan wouldn't protect him like this.

Unexpectedly, in the following days, people started arriving at the South Mansion with gifts to visit Chen Nan, which left Chen Nan feeling quite speechless.

Indeed, no matter in which world, there are always those who seek favor with the powerful.

Living in the South Mansion and being protected by the Kuang Clan, these people assumed he had an extraordinary identity, so they scrambled to befriend him.

Towards these people, Chen Nan neither offended nor was overly friendly, but conversed with them calmly. Whenever his identity was mentioned, he would just smile without speaking, maintaining a mysterious aura.

After sending off dozens of people in the afternoon, the South Mansion finally quieted down by evening.

"Kid, you're really popular now. The things they brought are quite nice." The Black Feathered Chicken opened the gift boxes one by one.

Chen Nan didn't originally want these gifts from strangers.

However, once the gifts have been given, there's no reason to take them back. So, since they insisted on leaving them, Chen Nan could only accept.

Glancing at the Black Feathered Chicken, whose eyes were shining with excitement, Chen Nan laughed and said, "It's not my influence; it's the Kuang Clan's influence. If these people knew I don't have much of a background, probably 90% of them would regret it."

"Too late for regrets now."

The Black Feathered Chicken crowed proudly, saying, "Do you want these things? If not, I'll take them all."

"Get lost, they're my things; how can I let you take them?" Chen Nan kicked the Black Feathered Chicken away, scanning the opened gift boxes. Besides some exquisitely crafted small weapons, there were also plenty of spiritual elixirs.

The Black Feathered Chicken spread its wings and opened its claws, aggressively rushing over: "You don't lack weapons; these little trinkets are useless to you. Let me keep them instead."

"Can't I take them back for my wife to play with?"

Chen Nan picked a few exquisitely crafted small weapons and threw the rest to the Black Feathered Chicken.

This damned chicken wasn't picky at all, plopping down on the ground and putting the ones it liked into its storage ring, one by one.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just then, a series of knocks came from the door.

Chen Nan frowned and looked towards the door, asking, "Who is it?"

"I am Tao Zui from Taixuan Sacred Land, coming to visit Young Hero Chen with my younger sister." A man's voice came from outside.

Chen Nan felt speechless, having just sent off dozens of people, only for two more to arrive, which was quite a headache. Resigned, he went to open the door.

However, the moment he opened the door, Chen Nan was stunned.

Standing outside the door was a man and a woman, the woman with a beautiful appearance, ice-like skin, jade bones, and an elegant and otherworldly aura.

Chen Nan wasn't stunned because of her; having seen countless women of both beauty and grace, he'd naturally not be stunned by her.

What surprised him was the man in front of him.

He wore white, held a folding fan, and appeared charming. These were not unusual since his sister was good-looking, so he couldn't be too bad off, but his appearance was exactly the same as Zhao Han's.

Chen Nan, after a moment's surprise, laughed out loud and playfully punched him on the shoulder: "Darn you, Tao Zui, teasing me, aren't you? Tell me, how did you get to the Tao Realm?"

Tao Zui and the woman next to him both looked at Chen Nan with puzzled expressions: "Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"

"Keep pretending. Honestly, I never saw it before; you're quite the performer. Taixuan Taoist School, fine, but do you have to make up a Taixuan Sacred Land to trick me?" Chen Nan said, a bit speechless.

Tao Zui's face looked even more confused: "Brother Chen, I honestly don't understand what you mean. I am indeed a disciple of the Taixuan Sacred Land; I've never heard of any Taixuan Taoist School!"

Chen Nan's smile gradually turned stiff.

He had acted on impulse earlier without thinking carefully, and now with a closer look, there were indeed differences between Tao Zui and Zhao Han.

Although they looked the same, Tao Zui in his white attire was clearly a suave type, whereas Zhao Han was an awkward individual who couldn't get a word out, showing completely different styles.

"No offense, Brother Tao, I mistook you for an old friend of mine," Chen Nan said.

"A common misunderstanding, Brother Chen, no need to be so polite."

Tao Zui smiled and then gestured towards the woman beside him, saying, "My sister and I heard of Brother Chen's heroic deeds, so we took the liberty to visit, hoping Brother Chen wouldn't mind."

"Brother Tao, what are you saying? Within the Four Seas, we are all brothers. Please, come in." Chen Nan gestured inside, glancing at the woman next to her and asking, "Your sister is as beautiful as a goddess, a true beauty. May I ask her name?"

The young lady curtsied and smiled, "You flatter me, Sir Chen. My name is Tao Muxue."

"As pure as snow, impeccable, truly a person like their name." Chen Nan casually praised, turning to walk inside.

Chen Nan assumed that this Tao Zui was like those previous people, here to offer gifts and make connections. However, after entering and discussing, he realized that this brother and sister were different from those before.

After some conversation, they gradually became more familiar with each other. Tao Zui laughed and said, "I heard Brother Chen defeated a master from Qianyuan Holy Land across several levels with ease, which I admire greatly. Hence my late-night visit, hoping to discuss martial arts and Taoist cultivation with Brother Chen, hoping to get some insight."

The Cultivation that Tao Zui demonstrated at this moment was also of the Earth Penetration Fifth Layer Heaven.

However, Chen Nan felt this wasn't his true strength, as if he deliberately hid his power.

"I am honored by Brother Tao's favor. It is my pleasure," Chen Nan laughed and said, "However, I am but a humble martial artist and not knowledgeable in Taoist methods, so I might not have much to offer."

Tao Zui shook his head and smiled: "Brother Chen is modest. In the cultivation path, martial arts and Taoism are one family. Brother Chen, being such a prodigy, must have great insights."

"In that case, I humbly ask for Brother Tao's guidance."

Tao Zui, not holding back, began the discussion on the path of cultivation.

The two of them talked about martial arts and Taoist cultivation, exchanging their insights on cultivation matters and discussing challenges. Over time, they felt a mutual appreciation, as if they'd met a kindred spirit.

For insights into Taoist cultivation, Chen Nan felt that, among the younger generation he knew, aside from Zhao Han, there was probably no one who could compare with this Tao Zui. Even without a duel, Chen Nan already knew this person was extraordinary.

He even had an absurd guess: with Tao Zui resembling Zhao Han so much, could there be some connection between the two?

But on second thought, he figured it was unrealistic.

After all, since the ancient battle, the Four Extremes World had reinforced the seal, and without pure yin and pure yang power to activate the Heavenly Ascending Ladder, no one could cross realms. How could these two be related!
