It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

After Elder Wu brought the Cheng family to a courtyard, he said goodbye and left.

Zhao Ziyi and Cen Pianpian stayed. They were familiar with Cheng Lingshu and knew that Cheng Lingshu was coming, so they specially asked the headmaster for the reception task.

After the two Jindan cultivators left, the remaining few people were all cultivators of the same generation, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Zhao Ziyi and the other two invited everyone to drink tea in the courtyard. Seeing that Cheng Lingshu seemed a little absent-minded, they thought she was worried because Xie Jingxiu had not appeared, so they explained:

"Junior Sister Lingshu, Junior Brother Xie is currently in seclusion, practicing with his newly acquired magical weapon. He will be out tomorrow. He has already told me that he will host a banquet in his courtyard tomorrow to apologize to you."

Cheng Lingshu came back to his senses and said calmly, "It's okay. Since Senior Brother Xie has something important to do, he can go and do it himself."

She didn't have any thoughts because Xie Jingxiu didn't show up, she was just distracted just now.

Cheng Lingshu didn't like Xie Jingxiu. From the first time they met, she felt that he was a poisonous snake wearing a hypocritical mask, who might bite you from behind at any time.

But the marriage is an alliance between two forces. As the daughter of the head of the Cheng family, she enjoys the family's support, but she also has to make sacrifices for the family.

Cen Pianpian was a little unhappy with Cheng Lingshu's indifferent attitude. She ignored Cheng Lingshu and turned the topic to Cheng Shuyan.

"Sister Mingshu, I heard that you were sent to the secular world. I haven't been there yet. Can you tell me what it's like?"

She blinked her big eyes, with an innocent expression on her face.

I don’t know if male cultivators like her style, but Cheng Shuyan doesn’t like it anyway.

She casually replied, "Nothing special. Except for the lack of immortal cultivators, it's pretty much the same as the immortal cultivation world."

"Oh? Really? I heard that the secular world is full of filthy mortals, but Senior Sister Mingshu hasn't been contaminated by the stench of those mortals."

Cen Pianpian pretended to be innocent, but said insulting words.

Cheng Shuyan wasn't angry yet, but Cheng Lingshu couldn't help it.

"Junior Sister Cen, there are many mortals in your Cen family who cannot cultivate, why haven't you been tainted by their stench?"

"You..." Cen Pianpian was very angry. She stood up and pointed at Cheng Lingshu.

Zhao Ziyi saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly stood up and pulled her back.

"Alright, Junior Sister Cen, Junior Sister Lingshu, and the others are probably tired too. Let's go first and don't disturb them to rest. We'll meet again tomorrow when Junior Brother Xie comes out of retreat and hosts a banquet."

After seeing the two of them leave, the Cheng family members all returned to their rooms.

Cheng Lingshu was worried that Cheng Shuyan would be angry, so she said to her, "Sister, you don't have to pay attention to her words. Cen Pianpian is just like that. She has always been at odds with me, and that's why she has implicated you."

Cheng Shuyan waved his hand, indicating that she was fine: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This kind of person is not worth my anger."

Then he went into his room.

After leaving the Cheng family's temporary residence, Cen Pianpian, who was forcibly pulled away by Zhao Ziyi, shook off his hand and angrily lost her temper at Zhao Ziyi.

"Zhao Ziyi! Why are you helping those two bitches from the Cheng family? I'm your junior sister!"

A hint of disgust flashed across Zhao Ziyi's eyes, but he quickly hid it so that Cen Pianpian didn't notice.

"Junior Sister Cen, the engagement between Cheng Lingshu and Junior Brother Xie has been approved by Xuanfeng Sect and the Cheng family, and Cheng Mingshu has just been taken back by the Cheng family.

She has been wandering around for many years, but she still has a cultivation level comparable to ours. She must be someone the Cheng family values ​​very much.

If you openly make enemies with these two, it will do you no good. If they tell Master about this, he will probably put you in solitary confinement again."

He analyzed the pros and cons to Cen Pianpian in a kind manner, but Cen Pianpian did not appreciate it.

"That's a nice thing to say! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Look at that bitch Cheng Lingshu's eyes, they're almost dripping with tears.

I warn you, before Senior Brother Xie breaks off his engagement with her, you are not allowed to have any other thoughts about her, lest you tarnish Senior Brother Xie's reputation!"

Zhao Ziyi lowered his head and silently allowed Cen Pianpian to attack. A vicious look flashed in his eyes, but he endured it.

Cen Pianpian is the most beloved descendant of the Cen family's ancestor Huashen. He is just an ordinary disciple under Cen Pianpian's father. He can only tolerate Cen Pianpian.

After a fit of anger, Cen Pianpian finally calmed down. She remembered what Cheng Shuyan said when she first met him, and she suddenly smiled evilly.

"Humph! Don't they have a very close relationship as sisters? I want to see how Cheng Lingshu would react if she knew that her good sister admired her fiancé!"

Then, she took out a sound transmission talisman, said a few words to the talisman paper, and released the talisman.

"Junior Sister Cen, didn't you say that what Cheng Mingshu said that day cannot be told to Junior Brother Xie?" Zhao Ziyi was a little puzzled when he heard what she said in the voice transmission.

"Of course I couldn't tell Senior Brother Xie then and arouse his curiosity, but now that everyone is here, they will meet sooner or later, so I naturally let Senior Brother Xie know first. His fiancée's sister actually said she admires him!

By the way, when we first met that bitch, what did she say her name was? Cheng something book?

She explained her intention proudly, then turned her head and asked Zhao Ziyi.

Zhao Ziyi lowered his head and walked behind her, saying casually, "Isn't your name Cheng Mingshu?"

"Really?" Cen Pianpian was not sure, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

It didn't matter, so she simply stopped thinking about it and went back to her cave without paying any attention to Zhao Ziyi behind her.

Only after her figure disappeared did Zhao Ziyi raise his head and look resentfully in the direction she left.

Afterwards, he returned to the cave.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ziyi came alone to the small courtyard where the Cheng family was temporarily staying and invited a few people to have a small gathering.

Cheng Hongyuan had gone to the banquet with Elder Wu early in the morning. At this moment, there were only five foundation-building cultivators left in the yard. They were feeling bored, but they didn't expect Zhao Ziyi to come.

Cheng Lingshu wanted to refuse. She didn't want to see Xie Jingxiu, but she heard Cheng Shuyan speak first and ask, "Senior Brother Zhao, is this the welcoming banquet that Senior Brother Xie hosted for my sister that you mentioned yesterday?"

"That's right." Zhao Ziyi confirmed, "Junior Brother Xie was in seclusion yesterday, and I didn't personally welcome Junior Sister Lingshu and the other junior brothers and sisters. I felt very sorry for it, so I specially asked me to come and invite them."

Zhao Ziyi turned to look at Cheng Lingshu. The meaning of his words was very clear. This gathering was specially arranged for her, and she had to express her opinion no matter what.

Cheng Lingshu couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. She wanted to refuse in her heart, but seeing her sister's excited look, she couldn't say no.

Never mind, let her go if she wants to.

"Okay, I understand. Please lead the way, Brother Zhao."
