The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Bai Yuan escorted Xu Wan back to the Yangxin Palace.

This palace is not only the place where Sect Master Chenxuan rests on weekdays, but also a holy place for him to practice cultivation and cultivate his nature.

At this time, Chen Xuan was sitting upright on a mat in the center of the inner hall, with his eyes closed and focused. A layer of faint fluorescence surrounded his body, making him look like an immortal who had descended to earth, extraordinary and otherworldly.

His breathing was long and deep, and every breath seemed to resonate with the heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Not far away, rows of candles were burning brightly, the flickering flames illuminating Chen Xuan's face with exceptional clarity.

His face was peaceful and serene, as if all the troubles in the world could not disturb his inner peace.

Xu Wan and Bai Yuan held whisks in their hands, standing respectfully by the side, quietly waiting for Chen Xuan to finish his training.

They also tried to breathe as lightly as possible, for fear of disturbing Chen Xuan.

At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly sensed the breath of the two people. He slowly opened his eyes, and wisdom flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and walked towards the two of them with a smile on his face.

He first nodded to Bai Yuan to express his approval of this disciple.

Then, his gaze turned to Xu Wan, his eyes full of love and care.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wan immediately bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Foster father, I will serve you tea right away."

After saying that, she walked to the tea table, picked up the teapot skillfully, and poured two cups of fragrant tea.

One cup was handed to Chen Xuan and the other cup was handed to Bai Yuan.

The two took the teacups, took a sip, and felt the sweetness and fragrance of the tea, as if even their mood became relaxed.

Chen Xuan and Bai Yuan sat side by side, leisurely sipping cup after cup of fragrant tea and enjoying the rare quiet time.

Xu Wan stood quietly by the side, her eyes lowered, muttering to herself: How long will my godfather make me stand here?

Is this really the way to go? Her face was filled with helplessness and confusion.

Xu Wan raised her head, looked at Chen Xuan tenderly, and said with a hint of pleading in her voice, "Foster father, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the bedroom to rest first."

Her eyes revealed a desire for peace and tranquility, and she was obviously exhausted.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a subtle depth. He softly instructed, "Xiao Wan, go back and take a hot bath to relax your body.

After you shower and change your clothes, come find me here and I will personally teach you how to practice."

There was an unquestionable determination in his tone.

Bai Yuan listened from the side, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He secretly speculated: Could it be...

She is only the suzerain's adopted daughter in name only.

In fact, the Emperor sent it to the Sect Master as a cauldron for some purpose?

After all, her extremely yin physique is extremely rare in the world of cultivation.

If such a physique is utilized, it may produce unexpected results.

Xu Wan seemed to sense the subtle change in the atmosphere around her. She rubbed her eyes gently, her eye sockets slightly red, as if tears would fall at any moment.

She leaned over, shook Chen Xuan's arm, and actually started to act coquettishly towards him: "Godfather, Xiao Wan is really tired today. I'm really exhausted and want to sleep."

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, but it couldn't hide the fatigue in it.

Chen Xuan looked at her, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He patted her arm gently and said earnestly: "Xiao Wan, you are my adopted daughter, so you need to work harder than anyone else.

Tonight, your father will teach you how to practice, so that you can improve your strength faster."

There was a certain firmness and expectation in his tone.

When Xu Wan heard this, although she felt a little disappointed, she nodded, forced a smile, and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

Her back seemed lonely and helpless, as if she was carrying a heavy fate.

After Xu Wan gradually walked away, Bai Yuan stood up from his seat, slowly stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and saw an exquisite brocade box appear out of thin air in his hand.

He leaned forward slightly, and with a solemn and mysterious gesture, handed the brocade box to Chen Xuan, and explained softly: "Master, please open this box and take a look."

Chen Xuan was full of curiosity. He carefully took the brocade box with both hands and opened it gently.

Inside was a pile of talismans carefully practiced on white paper, neatly stacked. Every stroke revealed Xu Wan's care and concentration.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Were these all painted by Xiao Wan?"

"Exactly."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly in response to Chen Xuan's question.

Chen Xuan gently closed the brocade box and placed the exquisite box on the table.

He stroked his long beard with a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "This child has really changed his mind. It seems that our Lingshan will welcome another outstanding disciple."

Bai Yuan frowned slightly and continued, "Sect Master, after spending the past two days with Miss Xu, I have indeed discovered that she is a rare genius.

However, I still have doubts in my heart. I don’t know why the Emperor would send such an outstanding girl to Lingshan. Is there any deeper meaning behind this?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately stood up and stared at Bai Yuan.

He gently patted Bai Yuan's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Yun Che, as an Emperor, he has a heavy responsibility and needs to practice diligently day and night...

As a cat demon, Xu Wan was used to being free and was very rude to the Emperor.

Yun Che had no other choice but to send Xu Wan to Lingshan to learn the rules."

Hearing this, Bai Yuan frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.

He continued to ask: "Then today, Miss Xu said to Mu Qing so sadly,

I've been with the Emperor for five hundred years and he's always been beating me. How could this happen?"

Chen Xuan frowned when he heard this. He sighed and said, "Just listen to her story, don't believe it completely."

Bai Yuan lowered his head, frowning slightly, as if he was pondering some important decision, and his whole aura became deep and restrained.

"Bai Yuan, please go back quickly."

At this moment, Chen Xuan's voice came like a breeze, interrupting his thoughts.

Bai Yuan suddenly raised his head, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He looked at Chen Xuan deeply, as if saying goodbye silently.

Then he bowed, his attitude respectful and resolute.

It turned into a dazzling stream of light and disappeared in front of Chen Xuan in an instant, leaving only a gradually dissipating light, foreshadowing his departure.

Chen Xuan sighed softly and said slowly, "Bai Yuan, this kid, really pays attention to Xiao Wan.

Could it be that he has been tempted by worldly desires? Alas, if that is the case, I am afraid that Lingshan will never have peace in the future.

The word "love" is the most disturbing thing. I hope he can see through it soon."

Then, Chen Xuan raised his voice slightly and called out loudly: "Maid, come and see me!"

Before he finished speaking, two figures appeared as if from the void. Two maids in pure white clothes appeared out of thin air.

They all had pretty faces and dignified manners. They bowed to Chen Xuan and asked softly, "Master, what can I do for you?"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly and instructed calmly, "Go prepare some hot water and spiritual herb petals, and send them to Yihe Palace for Xiaowan to bathe."

The two maids heard the words and immediately obeyed the order. They left in a flash like two gusts of wind.

Only Chen Xuan was left, standing there quietly, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.
