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

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, candlelight flickered.

The hall was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

Chen Xuan sat upright in front of the desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, reading it intently.

Just then, Jin Xi walked over carefully, holding a magical beast.

Seeing Chenxuan reading, his pace slowed down involuntarily.

He stood there quietly, looking at Chen Xuan.

The white-haired and youthful face looked particularly kind in the candlelight.

The fluttering white beard has a unique charm.

Looking at Chen Xuan, Jin Xi couldn't help but think of her uncle Yun Che.

Once upon a time, Yun Che often sat at his desk and read, his focused expression exactly like Chen Xuan's.

Or, he would sit cross-legged in the center of the moon-shaped bed in his inner hall to practice, with circles of golden light emanating from his body.

But now, Yun Che is no longer here.

Thinking of this, Jin Xi felt somewhat sad, as if a huge stone was pressing down on his heart.

Chen Xuan sensed Jin Xi's breath and slowly raised his head.

When he saw Jin Xi holding the Warcraft, he couldn't help but smile.

"Little Qilin, what do you want from me?"

Jin Xi hesitated when asked this question.

There was some hesitation in his heart.

He lowered his head, thinking about how to start.

After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to say:

"I...I want to go back to Wuji Sect..."

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his face showed surprise.

But soon, he nodded slightly, as if he had guessed Jin Xi's thoughts.

He said with concern:

"In that case, I'll let Xingze escort you back."

Jin Xi shook his head and refused:

"No, I'll go back by myself."

As he spoke, he looked down at the monster in his arms, his eyes filled with joy.

He raised his head, looked at Chen Xuan and said:

"Master, I would like you to give this demon beast a name."

Chen Xuan put down the book, stood up and walked to Jin Xi.

He looked at the monster carefully. The monster's eyes were round, like two rubies.

The body is covered with layers of black scales.

After thinking for a moment, he stroked his long beard and said:

"Why not just call it Lingyao!"

"Ling" means agile and intelligent.

"Yao symbolizes light and hope."

"I hope it will bring good luck to you, little Qilin."

Jin Xi's eyes lit up and he said happily:

"Lingyao, what a great name! Thank you, Sect Master."

There was a happy smile on his face.

The monster in his arms also cried out happily.

oooooooo! !

At this moment, a maid hurried in, looking a little flustered.

Her steps were quick and her skirt fluttered in the wind.

She bowed to Chen Xuan and said happily:

"Master, Fairy Xu is awake!"

When Chen Xuan heard the news, he burst into laughter.

The laughter was hearty and heroic, as if it would break through the roof of the hall.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He was satisfied with the name the maid gave to Xu Wan. He stroked his long beard and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll go check on Xiao Wan right away."

Jin Xi was completely stunned.

His heart was filled with doubts and worries.

What? What happened to Auntie? Is she awake?

Didn’t we have lunch together at noon?

It’s also my fault for not staying with my aunt.

Thinking of this, Jin Xi felt very guilty.

Jin Xi immediately followed Chen Xuan's footsteps and said nervously:

"Master, I want to go and see it too, is that okay?"

At this moment, he was afraid that Chen Xuan would reject him.

Chen Xuan glanced at Jin Xi and wanted to refuse in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

He hesitated and said:

"Alright, you can go with me."

Along the way, Jin Xi's mood was very complicated.

He was worried about his aunt's health and felt reluctant to part with her.

The thought of leaving here makes me feel empty inside.

The reason why Jin Xi was in a hurry to go back was because Shuangyue came to see him today.

But at that time, he rejected Shuangyue and said he didn't want to go back.

And Shuangyue was obviously angry and said that he would just be treated as if he didn't exist as a disciple.

Thinking of this, Jin Xi felt even more melancholy.

……

Soon, they arrived at the hall where Xu Wan was.

The room was filled with the aroma of fish.

Xu Wan was sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding a plate of dried fish in her hands.

She picked up a dried fish, put it in her mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Si Yao sat on a chair beside the couch, watching her eat quietly. Her graceful back made Chen Xuan's heart flutter.

Seeing Chen Xuan and Jin Xi coming, Xu Wan's eyes lit up.

She pulled down Si Yao's veil, revealing her beautiful face.

Si Yao heard footsteps behind her and quickly covered her cheeks.

Xu Wan threw the white gauze in her hand into the air and shouted mischievously:

"Godfather, catch it!"

The white gauze fluttered in the air.

When Si Yao knew that the person coming was Chen Xuan, she felt even more shy and at a loss.

Her face turned red, like the sunset in the sky.

Ouch!

The monster in Jin Xi's arms cried out.

Si Yao was shocked.

How many people came to see Senior Sister Xu?

She pressed her face directly against the quilt, feeling extremely shy.

Chen Xuan caught the white gauze, smiled and shook his head, feeling helpless about Xu Wan's behavior.

Jin Xi, who was standing beside him, had a complicated look in her eyes.

He wanted to talk to Xu Wan, but he didn't know how to address her.

How he wanted to tell her that his uncle Yun Che was not with Shuang Yue and only had her in his heart!

How he wanted to tell her that his uncle's physical body was gone and it might be difficult to resurrect him!

His heart was filled with sorrow.

But he didn't want Xu Wan to know these things, for fear that she would be sad.

He was struggling inside, not knowing how to make a decision.

Chen Xuan stepped forward quickly and said with concern:

"Xiao Wan, you finally woke up."

Xu Wan smiled and replied:

"Yes, thank you for your concern, godfather!"

As she spoke, she patted Si Yao's back vigorously and urged:

"My adoptive father is here, and you don't even bother to stand up and salute. Be careful or he'll expel you from the academy!"

Si Yao was panicked and immediately looked up and stood up.

She turned around and saw Chen Xuan standing there with one hand behind her back and the other holding her veil.

The two looked at each other, and Si Yao recalled the time a year ago when she first came to Lingshan Academy and participated in the Purple Thunder Trial.

Because she was wearing a veil, the monks asked her why she was still wearing a veil, saying that she must be too ugly and afraid to show her face to others...

Their words were full of sarcasm and disdain, as if they were looking at a monster.

At that time, Chen Xuan cast a spell to remove her veil, and saw that half of her face was festering and surrounded by black mist.

The scene seemed like a nightmare, and she still feels scared.

But Chen Xuan did not despise her when he saw her like that, nor did he cancel her entrance trial.

His eyes were full of compassion and tolerance.

After she passed the trial, she miraculously regained her beauty.

The reason why she came to Lingshan College was because she was a foreign woman.

She was too beautiful since she was young, and her younger sister was jealous of her. She had someone curse her, which led to her being broken off from engagement and being shunned by her family.

Chen Xuan felt a little flustered when he saw the sadness in Si Yao's eyes.

He straightened the wrinkled white gauze in his hand, handed it to Si Yao, and said humbly:

"Miss Si Yao, this little Wan is too naughty, don't take it to heart."

"Hehehe...it's so funny, godfather!"

Xu Wan covered her mouth and laughed.

Jin Xi felt much better when she saw Xu Wan so happy.

"Jin Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Wan noticed that Jin Xi's expression was wrong.

Didn’t he call me “Auntie” every time he saw me before? Why is he not saying anything now?

Could it be that... he was bullied by Shuangyue?

Her heart was filled with doubts and worries.

Jin Xi stepped forward and held Xu Wan's hand. The warm little hand made Xu Wan smile:

"Hey, Jin Xi, did Shuang Yue bully you? Why do you seem to have changed a lot? You don't even like to talk anymore!"

Xu Wan asked directly without caring whether Chen Xuan and Si Yao were there or not.

Jin Xi immediately explained:

"No, our sect leader is a very nice person. She didn't bully me. She just has a cold personality, which makes me a little uncomfortable. But she is really nice."

Xu Wan seemed a little unconvinced by Jin Xi's words and asked:

"Really?"

Jin Xi nodded and replied:

"real!"

Seeing Jin Xi like this, Xu Wan thought to herself:

Jin Xi, could it be that you have fallen in love with Shuang Yue?

This... After all, Frost Moon is so beautiful!

Hahahaha, if Jin Xi can catch Shuang Yue, then the master will be mine alone.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sly smile.
