Tianyan Sect.
Loving Family Peak.
Chu Xingchen held a teacup in one hand, taking light sips, while playing a small game with San Dong with his other hand.
Xie Lingyu held two jade tokens in her hands. One contained a report from Lin Luoyu regarding the new policies, and the other was a message from Li Yingling reporting on the Chen Baiqing incident.
Chu Xingchen had already read both reports, and now it was Xie Lingyu's turn to review them.
Lin Luoyu's message could be considered an ordinary, routine report.
As for the jade token from Li Yingling, things were a bit more lively.
In her reply, Li Yingling naturally expressed her dissatisfaction with Chen Baiqing's actions. Even if she was unhappy with the arrangements, she shouldn't have gone behind her own sect's back to instigate Wu Wang.
This caused their originally ample time to be compressed to the absolute limit. If Lin Luoyu and Li Junzi hadn't prepared in advance instead of actually waiting for her message, the Cangwu Kingdom would probably be beating each other's brains out by now.
At the same time, she harshly reprimanded Li Xingtian for having a problem with his brain, actually trying to cover for Chen Baiqing in such a matter and helping her hide it from Li Yingling.
Li Yingling's letter was very long, and her wording was clearly emotional.
It seemed Chen Baiqing's decision had truly agitated this Eldest Senior Sister.
At the end of the letter, Li Yingling stated that she had still restrained her emotions and did not continue to question or interrogate Chen Baiqing, choosing instead to wait until this matter was concluded for their master to handle it.
At the same time, if Chen Baiqing made any further extra moves, as the Eldest Senior Sister, she would not hold back anymore.
After Xie Lingyu finished reading both jade tokens, she suddenly felt a headache coming on. She looked at Chu Xingchen, who still looked quite leisurely, and couldn't help but say:
Aren't you worried that things have developed to this point?
Hearing this, San Dong looked over with a puzzled gaze.
Chu Xingchen reached out to block San Dong's vision, lightly tapped its head, and then replied with a chuckle:
Do you think Chen Baiqing would sell me out?
Xie Lingyu naturally replied, Of course not.
What about our leaky cotton jacket?
Also no.
Since neither of them will, what am I worried about?
Xie Lingyu showed a hint of displeasure and said:
Have you forgotten what you renamed this peak to? To let a single matter escalate like this.
In a moment of carelessness, Chu Xingchen lost the game to San Dong, causing San Dong to reveal a joyful smile. Seeing this, he finally turned around, looked at Xie Lingyu, and said:
When they were young, as their master, I naturally had to supervise them. Now, whether it's Yingling or Baiqing, they have grown to the point where they don't really need anyone to manage them.
A master can't watch over them for a lifetime. If I suppress it now and stop them from fighting, does that mean they won't fight in the future?
It's good to let them make a fuss now while there are still people to back them up.
In my hometown, there's a saying—relationships only get better after an argument.
No one is perfect. Yingling has to accept Baiqing's occasional disobedience, Baiqing has to make concessions for Yingling's dissatisfaction, and Li Xingtian will only learn how to mediate after being caught in the middle.
Hearing these words, Xie Lingyu couldn't really say anything in response, only replying with a hint of helplessness:
You always have so many twisted theories.
Chu Xingchen stood up, slightly raising his eyebrows, and said:
These aren't twisted theories. Looking at Sect Leader Lü acting like a punching bag, maybe in the future, I'll have to pass my Sect Leader position to that unlucky Cui Hao.
Hearing this, Xie Lingyu couldn't help but smile.
Alright, Lady Lingyu, I'll leave all these matters regarding our disciples for you, their grand master's wife, to handle. Chu Xingchen took out a spirit fruit from his spatial ring and handed it to San Dong, then continued, I need to make a trip to the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect.
Xie Lingyu frowned and immediately stood up as well, saying:
What are you going to the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect for?
Naturally, to shoulder the burden of the Five Continents and Ten Thousand Realms. Chu Xingchen shrugged helplessly. I don't know if Xu Linglong truly couldn't cover her tracks or if she's really preparing to do something massive, but she has already revealed her presence within the Eastern Divine Continent.
Personally, I lean towards the latter. So, logically speaking, we have to cause some trouble for Xu Linglong.
Therefore, this group of rebellious disciples who are currently having a blast making a fuss can only be supervised by their master's wife now. If you have any ideas, just use my name to make them do it. I'll take responsibility for all of it later.
Xie Lingyu stepped closer to Chu Xingchen, her lips pressed lightly together, and finally could only say softly:
Please be careful in everything you do.
Chu Xingchen nodded seriously, then said playfully:
Don't worry, I will definitely use Xu Jin as a human shield. If there's anything dangerous, I'll make him take the lead. If he gets beaten up, I won't even look—I'll just turn my head and run.
Xie Lingyu didn't laugh; instead, she reached out and held Chu Xingchen's hand, speaking in a gentle tone:
Don't worry about your disciples. As their master's wife, I'll keep a good eye on them.
Chu Xingchen lowered his head slightly, meeting Xie Lingyu's somewhat worried gaze, and replied softly:
Rest assured, I'm just going to see what the situation is. For now, there's no need to let them know about this.
Xie Lingyu nodded gently, then stepped aside to make way:
Go and return quickly.
Chu Xingchen leaned forward slightly, stole a quick kiss from a certain someone, and then turned to leave.
San Dong gnawed on the spirit fruit on the table, watching the two of them with a curious and slightly shy gaze.
It naturally knew that the Sect Leader was probably going to do those dangerous things again.
But San Dong also knew that it wasn't as smart as the Sect Leader. The things the Sect Leader had to do were major events that it didn't understand but were very important.
Therefore, San Dong wouldn't stop him, but would continuously pray for the Sect Leader in its heart.
The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect and the Tianyan Sect had already set up a teleportation array.
Thus, Chu Xingchen didn't need to bring any guards with him to visit the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect. He quite easily stepped onto the teleportation array and arrived at the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect.
When Chu Xingchen stepped out of the teleportation array, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the formation before him.
Apart from his old friend Xu Jin naturally being present, the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect, Li Moze, also seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Behind him were several elders.
The most exaggerated part was that the God of Slaughter of the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect, Huang Miao, was also at the scene.
This was a ruthless figure at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence realm, someone who spammed ultimate moves like basic attacks, and who in the past had dared to trade blows with Bai Xuanling.
A smile appeared on Li Moze's face: It's been quite a while since we last met.
As long as Sect Leader Li doesn't disdain my presence, Chu Xingchen replied with a light laugh. Then, ignoring his good brother Xu Jin, he looked toward Huang Miao. Senior Huang, where are you planning to go?
Huang Miao chuckled lightly: You kid just love playing dumb when you know exactly what's going on. Naturally, I'm going wherever you're going.
Chu Xingchen smiled and gently shook his head, saying:
Hahaha, Senior Huang is exaggerating too much.
Xu Jin stared silently at Chu Xingchen, around whom the Daoist aura of the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect's supreme treasure, the Innate Primordial Dao-Fixing Dual Qi Pearl, was still circulating. It was obvious that Chu Xingchen had activated this supreme treasure before passing through the teleportation array.
Who on earth activates a supreme artifact just to use a teleportation array?
Who was the one actually exaggerating here?
Also, hadn't the Sect Leader asked for this thing back yet?
Calculating carefully, this supreme treasure of the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect had been on Chu Xingchen's person for at least thirty or forty years, right?
Chu Xingchen's gaze finally landed on Xu Jin, and then he opened his arms to give Xu Jin a hug:
Good brother, it's been a long time! Why didn't you come when I invited you and Zheng Zhaoling for drinks last time?
Xu Jin responded rather helplessly:
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't be the one on your knees apologizing, I will..."
Despite his grumbling tone, Xu Jin opened his arms for a hug as well.
The next moment.
The two failed to embrace.
The Dao resonance of the Connate Primordial Dao-Fixing Dual Qi Pearl directly shoved the open-armed Xu Jin away, sliding him backward.
Seeing this, Chu Xingchen apologized with a look of surprise:
"Sorry... I haven't used this piece of junk in so long that I'm a bit out of practice. I didn't do it on purpose."
"First of all, this is not a piece of junk!" Xu Jin retorted, feeling truly powerless to deal with him.
"Secondly! I would have actually believed you if you hadn't bothered explaining!"
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
