Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion, they saw a familiar scene.

Chen's mother and two maids set up a small stall outside the mansion gate to give porridge to poor passers-by.

She moved swiftly, had a gentle smile, and didn't have the slightest airs of a lady.

"Drink slowly, be careful of the heat."

"It's not enough."

The beggars thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Madam Chen! Madam Chen is truly a living Bodhisattva!"

"mother!"

Chen Xian's eyes became hot and he shouted.

Yu Shuxin looked up when she heard the voice, was stunned at first, and then a surprised smile broke out on her face.

"Xian'er!"

She put down the porridge spoon, walked over quickly, took Chen Xian's hand and looked him up and down.

"Thin!"

"Did you not eat well in the North?"

"Mom, I'm fine." Chen Xian felt warm in his heart and held his mother's hand.

Only then did Yu Shuxin notice that there was a handsome young man with extraordinary demeanor standing next to her son.

"Who is this……?"

Chen Xian's face flushed slightly, and he introduced himself a little embarrassedly: "Mom, this is Zhou Zhou. He saved me when I was in Nanzhou."

"Later... Later I lived in Jiluan Sect, and he was the one who took care of me."

Zhou Zhou immediately straightened his back, put on his most dignified posture, and bowed respectfully, "Junior Zhou Zhou, greetings to aunt."

Facing the demon cultivator, perhaps Zhou Zhou wouldn't even blink.

But at this moment, facing my future mother-in-law, my heart is beating like a drum.

What kind of person is Yu Shuxin?

The Chen family runs a huge horse farm and has a very sharp eye.

Seeing his son's ears turn red when he mentioned this young man, and seeing Zhou Zhou's unconcealed nervousness, his heart suddenly became clear.

She kept smiling, held Chen Xian's hand tightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"So you are the Young Master of Jiluan Sect. Thank you for taking care of our Xian'er this year."

"He's stubborn, but he didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

Zhou Zhou's scalp felt numb.

coming!

The test from the mother-in-law!

He took a deep breath, his eyes sincere and his tone serious:

"Auntie, you are too kind!"

"Mr. Chen Xian is a very good person. It is a blessing for the younger generation to be able to take care of him."

Chen Xian's face turned even redder as he heard this, and he secretly pinched Zhou Zhou.

Yu Shuxin saw all the little movements of the two people, and the smile on her face became more genuine.

She let go of Chen Xian and nodded to Zhou Zhou.

"Don't stand at the door."

"Let's all go in and talk."

"By the way, Xian'er," Yu Shuxin said, glancing meaningfully towards the mansion, "your uncle and second uncle are here today, chatting with your father."

Chen Xian and Zhou Zhou looked at each other.

The real test.

It’s just the beginning!

……

Yu Shuxin led the two of them across the courtyard and headed towards the inner palace.

Chen Xian subconsciously clutched Zhou Zhou's sleeves, his palms sweating a little.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhou Zhou held him gently and gave him a reassuring look, even though his back was also straight.

In the flower hall of the inner palace, the aroma of tea wafts in the air.

The Minister of Works of Longhua State, Chen Liang, was having a serious conversation with his two brothers.

There is no need to say much about Chen Zizai. As the leader of the Dragon Guard Army, he is dressed in a smart military uniform and looks very imposing.

Censor Chen Qiu Shui was wearing casual clothes, with a serious face and sharp eyes.

Chen Liang put down his teacup, glanced at the two brothers, and smiled slightly: "I called you here today not for official business."

Chen Zizai raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Brother, you can talk if you want. If it's something trivial, don't expect me to help."

Chen Qiu Shui remained silent, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, as if thinking about something.

Chen Liang shook his head and was about to speak when he heard footsteps outside the door.

The three of them turned around at the same time and saw Yu Shuxin walking in with Chen Xian and Zhou Zhou.

Several people turned their eyes to Chen Xian and Zhou Zhou.

Chen Xian's Adam's apple rolled, and he stepped forward, bowing politely: "Dad, Uncle, Second Uncle, Xian'er is back."

Chen Liang held the teacup in his hand, not even raising his eyelids. "You still remember to come back? You haven't been home for a year or two, and there's been very little news. I thought you forgot your last name was Chen!"

"Rebel!"

Chen Xian was stunned and quickly explained, "Dad, how could I? Didn't I often write to you and mother when I was in the Northern Territory?"

"Write a letter?" Chen Liang slammed his teacup onto the table, causing a few drops of tea to spill out. "Your letters only come once every two weeks or so."

"Your mother longs for news of you every day and often thinks of you at night. Have you ever understood her feelings?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xian quickly lowered his head and said, "I am an unfilial son and have made my parents worry."

Seeing his nephew like this, Chen Zizai hurried to smooth things over: "Brother, no matter what, Xian'er is a demon-slaying hero in Nanzhou. We should understand him."

"Uncle," Zhou Zhou saw this and slightly blocked Chen Xian behind him, keeping a very low profile, "This is my fault."

"In the battle of Nanzhou, Chen Xian was seriously injured and in critical condition. I can only take him back to the Jiluan Sect in the northern border to recuperate."

"The environment within the sect is most suitable for his recovery, which is why he has been delayed until now."

"I personally watched him write these letters. Besides, I already injured my wrist, so I have no intention of neglecting my duties!"

Chen Liang said in a neutral tone, "Young Master of Jiluan Sect? Humph, what a prestigious position!"

"My son, a good young master from Kyoto, ran away with you to a bitter cold place, unable to return home once a year, and now... How shameless!"

Chen Xian listened to the dissatisfaction in his father's tone, which was mainly directed at the relationship between Zhou Zhou and them. He felt anxious and aggrieved, and his eyes were slightly red.

Chen Zizai stroked his chin, his eyes wandering between Zhou Zhou and Chen Xian: "Brother, calm down. I think this guy is quite energetic. He is really a man to be able to bring Xian'er back from the hands of the demon cultivator."

He turned to Zhou Zhou and said in a loud voice, "Boy, how far have you progressed in cultivation?"

Zhou Zhou replied respectfully, "Uncle Chen, I'm lucky enough to have reached the late Jindan stage."

"Late Jindan stage?" Chen Zizai's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh. "Not bad, you have a bright future!"

Chen Qiushui, who had been sitting on the side for a long time, stroked his beard and said, "Young man, it's understandable that you are emotional, but..."

Zhou Zhou straightened his back and said, "You go ahead."

"Marriage is no joke; it concerns the reputation of both families."

"The Jiluan Sect is quite prestigious in the northern border, and my Chen family is not an ordinary family in Longhua Country, but after all, it is too far away."

"How are you two going to explain this to both sides?"

“How will we cope with the future?”

"Are there any long-term plans?"

His tone was steady, but every word hit the mark, and his eyes were sharp.

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath, straightened his spine, and looked at Chen Qiushui calmly, and also looked at Chen Liang who was sitting in the main seat:

"Seniors."

"Today, I am not here as the young master of Jiluan Sect, but as someone who admires Chen Xian."

"Chen Xian and I met in Nanzhou and now live together in the Northern Territory. It is a blessing for Zhou Zhou and the sect to have him accompany me in this life."

"If Xian'er is willing to follow me, everyone in the Jiluan Sect will respect him as their lord and will not show him any disrespect."

"As for the Chen family," Zhou Zhou said in an increasingly serious tone, "I know full well that this action may bring criticism to our family, but I, Zhou Zhou, swear here that I will do my utmost to protect Chen Xian throughout my life!"

"Respect him, love him, and don't let him suffer any injustice!"

"The Chen family's affairs are my Zhou Zhou's affairs. If you need anything, the Ji Luan Sect's power will be at your disposal."

"I wish to swear in the name of the Young Master of Jiluan Sect that Chen Xian and I will become Taoist companions, sharing life and death, happiness and misfortune."

"There will never be two of you in this life!"
