The numerous lakes and marshes, scattered like stars, shimmered with golden light under the sun, like jewels embedded in the earth.
Gazing at the ever-growing Azure Dragon Mountains, Zhan Xin was filled with emotion and murmured, "Ever since you became a Godslayer, because we took on so many capture missions, you've been called 'Crazy Chen' by the other Godslayers."
With the end of the year fast approaching, the first day of the Lunar New Year next year will be a crucial moment when the Ancient Immortal Path descends upon Qingtian County. Zhan Xin knew that after this mission, she would have to part ways with Chen Xuan. Thinking of this, a faint sadness welled up in her heart.
Chen Xuan seemed to sense the reluctance in Zhan Xin's words. He smiled slightly, took Zhan Xin's fair and snow-white hand in his own, and said softly, "What's wrong? You've only been together for five months, and you're already reluctant to leave?"
Faced with Chen Xuan's teasing, Zhan Xin's cheeks instantly flushed red. She glared at Chen Xuan reproachfully and said in a coquettish voice, "That's not true. It's just that I once went on a rampage in the Divine Mine Small World, robbing other female cultivators and forcing them to swear an oath to help me solve my problems. After that incident, many of the cultivators who participated in the assessment with me secretly called me a female demon."
At this point, a hint of unease flashed in Zhanxin's eyes. She continued, "Master has always been strict with me, and this matter already made me uneasy. Later, I publicly declared you as my future Daoist partner. After all this, I don't know how to face Master and my fellow disciples when I return to the sect."
Zhan Xin's words made Chen Xuan's expression turn serious. Although his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace was not very thorough, he had some knowledge of it through what he had heard at the Qingtian Marquis's Mansion and the records in the Daoist canon of the Nine Heavens Xuanqing Palace.
In the Taiqing Palace today, it is a serious violation of the sect rules for female disciples to make a private engagement with another man while venturing out into the world.
The consequences of this matter could be minor or major. To put it seriously, if Zhanxin is unlucky, he could very well lose all his cultivation and be expelled from Taiqing Palace.
To put it mildly, he might be punished by facing the wall in solitary confinement for ten or even a hundred years.
To be honest, Chen Xuan's feelings for Zhan Xin were more of admiration than liking.
He admired that Zhanxin, a person who had been instilled with extreme ideas about men and women since childhood, could undergo such an amazing change in the short six months they spent together.
You must understand, this is a feudal world of cultivation, where information is scarce and completely different from the modern world of my previous life.
In the modern world, people can gain self-awareness through watching videos, reading classic works by famous authors, and so on.
In this world of cultivation, such a transformation is truly remarkable.
This is one of the reasons why Chen Xuan, despite feeling it was somewhat inappropriate, still kept Zhanxin by his side during this period.
Of course, this is only part of the reason. Most importantly, Chen Xuan saw an extraordinary aura of fortune in Zhan Xin.
Since his Qi Refining cultivation broke through to the Ultimate Myriad Manifestations Realm, his ability to divination has greatly improved. Although he still cannot directly see the outcome of events based on a trace of cause and effect, he can vaguely sense the direction of some events.
Since Zhanxin is a person with great fortune, even if he hasn't met me and attained enlightenment yet, he will encounter guidance from others at some point in the future. Therefore, it's better to cultivate this positive connection early on; perhaps unexpected benefits will arise in the future.
“How about I accompany you back to Taiqing Palace? I can explain this matter to your master in person,” Chen Xuan said.
When Zhan Xin heard Chen Xuan's words, he thought that Chen Xuan was going to confess their relationship directly to his master.
She had no intention of telling her master about this now, so she raised her head, looked at Chen Xuan seriously, and said, "I have to face this matter myself. If I am really stripped of my cultivation and expelled from the sect because of this, perhaps this is my fate."
Seeing Zhan Xin's resolute attitude, Chen Xuan nodded slightly. However, to ease the heavy atmosphere, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's nothing, just a minor injury from having my cultivation destroyed. If that really happens, come find me."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xin's heart stirred slightly. She said in a low voice, "What do you want? If my cultivation has truly been destroyed, I am nothing more than an ordinary woman. How could I possibly be worthy of a prodigy like you who is renowned throughout Qingtian County?"
"Having my cultivation destroyed is nothing," Chen Xuan said nonchalantly.
It seemed that Chen Xuan hadn't hit the nail on the head, so Zhan Xin rolled his eyes at him again, reached out and gently pinched Chen Xuan, and gave a soft hum.
"Alright, I'll take care of you then. I'm currently short of a personal maid on Beiming Peak, and you'd be perfect for the job," Chen Xuan continued teasingly.
"Chen Xuan, I'll fight you to the death!" Zhan Xin said, feigning anger.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go! You're twisting my waist!" Chen Xuan cried out, feigning pain.
The two continued flying through the sky, flirting and teasing each other, their laughter echoing in the air. In less than an hour, they returned to the territory of the Immortal Slaying Hall in the Azure Dragon Mountains.
"Chen the Madman, you've managed to complete the last troublesome task?" A handsome young man dressed in formal attire smiled and greeted Chen Xuan as he led Zhan Xin into the formation.
"Oh my, it has to be Chen Xuan again. Those four tasks that had been left unattended for hundreds of years, no one dared to take them on, were actually completed by you two newcomers who just became God-Slaying Guards?" Another fat Taoist priest holding a magic gourd also came over and said with a face full of surprise.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan." People around Chen Xuan greeted him one after another.
For disciples of sects without a background or status, the capture missions of the Immortal Slaying Hall were an excellent way to earn cultivation resources. Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin had gone back and forth hundreds of times, and some people gradually came to know them.
Of course, ever since the fact that Bei Ming is Chen Xuan was exposed, all the low-level God-Slaying Guards in the Immortal Slaying Hall know that this person known as "Chen the Madman" is the first disciple of the famous Thousand Sword Immortal.
Whether considering his status or his glorious record of breaking the myth of the invincible reincarnated immortals when he was in the Pifu Realm, it was enough to make these people want to get close to Chen Xuan.
