System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Piaoxue's gaze swept over everyone, and her heart sank. It was normal for Zimo, Tianxing, and Zhanxin to stand by her side since they were on good terms, but Baili, as Chen Xuan's personal spirit beast, was also standing behind Zhanxin. Could it be...? This scene was witnessed by everyone, and they all seemed to be deep in thought.

Just as the atmosphere became suffocatingly oppressive, the door of a dwelling in the center of the backyard creaked open. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Xuan, dressed in white with cascading black hair, slowly walking out.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to greet his senior brothers and sisters, Piaoxue and Tianshuang, Zhanxin walked quickly to his side, affectionately took his arm, and said with a gentle concern, "Is your seclusion alright? I was very worried about your safety after you were in there for so long." As she spoke, she reached out and gently stroked Chen Xuan's cheek.

This sudden action stunned Chen Xuan, the second primordial spirit, who remained frozen in place for a full second before reacting. He gave an awkward smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone, instantly catching the anger and resentment in Piao Xue's eyes.

"Oh, my seclusion went very smoothly. Come, Zhanxin, Zimo, Tianxing, let me introduce you." Chen Xuan keenly sensed the danger and did not continue following Zhanxin's words. Instead, he generously shook Zhanxin's hand and led the group of beauties towards Piaoxue and the others.

Watching Chen Xuan walk towards her arm in arm with Zhan Xin, Piao Xue felt a mix of emotions. She had known Chen Xuan for much longer, so why had everything changed so drastically in just a few years?

"This is my senior sister Piaoxue. When I first entered the sect, she gave me guidance and taught me the Dao many times," Chen Xuan introduced with a smile.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Piaoxue." Zhanxin smiled and bowed respectfully. As he stood up, a hint of smugness and provocation flashed in his eyes. "If there is time, Zhanxin would also like to ask Senior Sister for some guidance."

Despite her unwavering resolve, Piaoxue was moved by Zhanxin's gaze. In her past life, she had been single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, never wavering in her resolve because of a man. But in this life, during the battle at the Dao Proving Hall, Chen Xuan defeated her with the Dao of the Sword. In their subsequent discussions on the Dao, Chen Xuan's free and unrestrained figure gradually took root in her heart.

Before the secret realm opened, she was being hunted down by the carefree young master of Tianlong County. At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Xuan appeared and saved her, swiftly killing the carefree young master and his two Nascent Soul Realm vassals. Since then, Chen Xuan's image has lingered in her heart.

Only now, seeing Zhanxin and Chen Xuan's intimate interaction, did Senior Sister Piaoxue finally understand the source of her inner turmoil.

Please support me, everyone! Let's make the white dragon fly! Also, thank you to all the family members who have given us their tremendous support during this time. Love you all, muah!

Although she felt bad and had a persistent feeling of being robbed, Senior Sister Piaoxue remained calm.

"Alright, when we have time, we must have a friendly spar and discuss the Great Dao." Piaoxue responded to Zhanxin's challenge with a serene smile. She tried her best to maintain a calm expression, but the fleeting look of melancholy in her eyes still betrayed the sadness deep in her heart.

At Chen Xuan's introduction, Zi Mo, Tian Xing, and the others bowed to Piao Xue and the other senior brothers and sisters. With Chen Xuan's arrival, the previously tense atmosphere quietly dissipated, replaced by a harmonious scene of fellow disciples gathering together to enjoy immortal wine and discuss the Great Dao.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, a violent spatial tremor suddenly occurred above the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion. A figure in green robes appeared out of thin air like a banished immortal.

"Senior Sister Qinglian?"

"Qinglian?"

"Junior Sister Qinglian?"

The disciples of Xuanqing Palace rose to greet her, their eyes filled with joy. Since entering the secret realm, Qinglian had been separated from the group. Xuanqing Palace had always adhered to an elite disciple training system, resulting in a small number of disciples with deep bonds among them. Their reunion was a source of immense happiness.

Seeing so many fellow disciples gathered in the Immortal Abode, Qinglian's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and she quickly joined them, becoming part of this grand gathering of immortal wine and Dao discussions.
