Let's Get Started

In the Tianyan Sect, on the "One Big Happy Family" Peak.

The bright moonlight passed through the Tianyan Sect's mountain-protecting formation without dimming. Instead, enhanced by the spiritual power within the sect, it appeared exceptionally soft and beautiful.

At least when San Dongxi absorbed the moonlight essence strengthened by spiritual power, he looked a bit like Li Yingling when absorbing high-quality spiritual power.

"Shut up, Cui Hao! Leave some for Qinghe!"

"Leave some? If you have the guts, take it out of my mouth! Wait... What are you doing, Qinghe?! You're really going to take it out? Aren't you disgusted?"

"Damn it! Next time, Qinghe won't leave any food for you either."

Looking at Cui Hao's panicked expression, Qinghe finally didn't act. Instead, he complained to Xie Lingyu with a discontented look:

"It's all your fault. I've always told you to come earlier, but you dawdled. Cui Hao ate all the good stuff."

Xie Lingyu stood beside Chu Xingchen, looking at the gluttonous Qinghe who was complaining to him with a slightly helpless expression.

Li Yingling walked over from the side, reached out and gently stroked Qinghe's head:

"When has our sect ever lacked food? Come with me. Chef Ning is back for a limited time today. I'm just afraid you won't be able to eat it all."

Hearing this, Qinghe instantly abandoned Xie Lingyu, who had come with him, and hurriedly followed Li Yingling.

Chu Xingchen stood beside Xie Lingyu, with a gentle smile on his face, watching the scene in front of him.

Not far away, Ning Qianqian was wearing the white and luxurious Tianyan Sect's clothing. The Ning Qianqian who used to look like a country bumpkin even in Li Yingling's clothes now looked very well - matched in the more luxurious clothes.

She was skillfully grilling skewers. Seeing Qinghe coming over smelling the fragrance, she picked a nearly - cooked skewer and handed it over.

After all, Qinghe was a Jiedan - stage dragon. A bit of rare meat could be considered a special flavor.

Ning Qianqian had known Qinghe for quite a while. This gluttonous little dragon often came to Ning Qianqian for extra food, but he didn't come for free. Usually, he would pay with spirit stones as a tip and also give Ning Qianqian some cultivation pills.

Over time, the friendship between the human and the dragon became quite good.

Ning Kun was helping Ning Qianqian by skewering the meat. There were already many white hairs on his head.

After a long - time contact, Ning Kun was no longer as restrained as he was at the beginning. At least he could be calm when being teased, but he still maintained a humble attitude.

Regarding the path of cultivation, Ning Kun didn't have the same pursuit as Ning Qianqian.

For Ning Kun, perhaps having a worry - free and safe life was already very satisfying. He also knew that his talent was not good, so he gave up the idea of cultivation early.

Naturally, Chu Xingchen wouldn't force him to practice. Everyone had the right to choose their own way of life - making one's own life happy was already a very difficult thing. Now it seemed that Ning Kun was doing very well.

"I haven't seen you for several days. Do you have any troubles?" Chu Xingchen asked Xie Lingyu beside him. "Do you need me, your confidant, to have a chat with you?"

"Don't talk about unhappy things when you're happy." Xie Lingyu said with a hint of a smile in his eyes. "This is what you taught me. Have you forgotten so soon?"

Hearing this, Chu Xingchen immediately praised:

"Well, it can only be said that you've outdone me. You really live up to the title of Lord Lingyu."

"I'm still far from you."

Just as Chu Xingchen was about to tease Xie Lingyu, he sensed someone coming and glanced sideways.

He saw Yanyun standing a little farther away, looking like - 'It seems I came at the wrong time'.

Chu Xingchen said in a slightly surprised tone:

"I thought you wouldn't come."

"So, Fellow Daoist Chu was just being polite to me."

Yanyun replied calmly, then looked at Xie Lingyu and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Chu Xingchen replied with a smile: "What are you talking about? Who doesn't know that I, Chu, am never polite."

"I can deeply understand that." Yanyun nodded with an understanding look.

"If you keep talking in such a sarcastic way, don't blame me for not speaking properly either."

"Cough... I'm not late, right? I just finished dealing with some affairs."

Chu Xingchen motioned Yanyun to look at the center, where a holographic game scene formed by Bai Qing's illusions was set up. Li Yingling was already shouting for people to join the game:

"You came just in time. They're still short of people over there."

Yanyun hesitated. She still remembered clearly the so - called "Monopoly" game last time.

Last time, it was on the Zhujifeng Peak, and the sect master and Bai Xuanling were also there to play. Losing a bit didn't matter much.

But if it was on the "One Big Happy Family" Peak... If she lost a few more times like last time, her reputation might be as bad as her master's.

Chu Xingchen saw through Yanyun's hesitation and explained:

"Last time was a special version requested by Senior Bai, and you weren't the main target. This time it's a private and fun version. Even if there are penalties, they're just small games."

Yanyun still looked skeptical - the words of Chu Xingchen were not very reliable in the first place.

Chu Xingchen pointed at Qinghe, who was sticking to Li Yingling's side and squeezing for skewers, and said:

"Qinghe always cares about his face. And since you're already here, for my sake, you should play once. I guarantee it'll break your old impression."

"Otherwise, Lingyu will play with you this time."

Without waiting to see Yanyun's reaction.

Xie Lingyu looked at Chu Xingchen in surprise. So he had arranged this for him?

Without waiting for the two of them to react, Chu Xingchen directly shouted to Li Yingling:

"Make two spaces. Yanyun and Uncle Lingyu are also going to play."

"Okay! Come quickly, two uncles, and choose your positions!"

Xie Lingyu looked at Chu Xingchen, who had made the decision for him, sighed, and without saying much, walked towards Li Yingling.

Yanyun also sighed and followed.

Chu Xingchen leisurely followed behind the two. Suddenly, he said:

"The Tianyan Sect truly deserves to be one of the eighteen great immortal sects. Just in this short period, they've helped Ning Qianqian break through to the Foundation - Building Realm. Thank you for your hard work."

Yanyun slightly shook her head and said: "Cultivating disciples is our duty. Besides, she just has slightly inferior spiritual roots. According to her teacher, she's quite intelligent."

"Anyway, thank you." Chu Xingchen stood still at the periphery.

Chu Xingchen didn't know what game they were playing today. It was adapted by Li Yingling from a game in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.

Qinghe had stuck to Li Yingling, the referee, early on, so he naturally got a position.

Seeing that Yanyun and Xie Lingyu were about to join.

Qinghe immediately ran to Xie Lingyu's side and vowed:

"This time, I'll team up with you to defeat that Yanyun and show her what the style of Zhujifeng Peak is all about!"

Xie Lingyu gently patted Qinghe's head:

"Finish your skewer first."

"It doesn't matter! Let Qinghe win first and then eat!"

Chu Xingchen leaned on the periphery, casually pulled Li Xingtian over, and put his hand on his shoulder.

Li Xingtian was a bit puzzled about what his master's action meant, but he stood straight to let his master lean on him.

He slightly glanced sideways.

He saw that his master wasn't looking at the game about to start.

Instead, he was looking at the highest peak in the Tianyan Sect.

The Tianyan Peak.
