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

Qing Tian Xiao Lou smiled and turned to look at his silly younger sister, asking, "When Elder Sang entrusted you to him, did he not make him swear an oath to Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Tian Yu'er rolled her eyes and replied telepathically, "Of course not. If I were forced to do this, I would probably be dead by now."

Yes, while oaths of heaven can bind people and force them to act in accordance with the rules of the oath, in reality, apart from oaths like the maid oath, there are still many ways to circumvent the rules of the oath behind the scenes.

For example, when Chen Xuan made a vow to Elder Sang, he would at most swear to safely send Qing Tian Yu'er back to Qing Tian City and not to harm her along the way.

If Chen Xuan hadn't taken Qing Tian Yu'er into the Bei Ming Immortal Mansion back then, the Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals of the Blood Hand Organization would definitely have found some clues by searching back and forth.

When Qing Tianyu'er is captured and taken away, whether she lives or dies will no longer be Chen Xuan's responsibility.

After all, he did not intentionally want Qing Tian Yu'er to be captured and taken away.

Upon learning of this situation, Qing Tian Xiao Lou secretly pulled Qing Tian Yu Er's arm and rolled up his sleeves.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the red mark of virginity was still there.

Although Qing Tian Yu'er was inexperienced in the ways of the world, she still knew what the virginity mark represented. Her face immediately turned red, and she glared angrily at her older brother.

"Brother Chen Xuan, you are indeed a gentleman! I, Qing Tian Xiao Lou, am determined to be your friend!!"

If Qing Tian Xiao Lou could still exude the dignified air of a prince when facing Chen Xuan before, now that he learned that Chen Xuan had not only not been bound by the Heavenly Dao Oath along the way, but had not also laid a hand on his delicate little sister, he was filled with great admiration.

Qingtian Xiaolou has made many friends or retainers in the field of cultivation. Anyone who is labeled a "rogue cultivator" is someone who does not have enough resources for cultivation and is willing to join the ranks of a large clan, either as a servant or to follow a young master of a large clan.

The retainers would occasionally accompany the young master to some large gatherings, to earn some face for the young master and receive some gifts in return.

Therefore, given Chen Xuan's status and actions, it is truly admirable that he was able to bring his younger sister back unharmed.

Chen Xuan naturally understood the implied meaning in Qing Tian Xiao Lou's words, and smiled, saying, "Since I promised Elder Sang, I will definitely protect Yu'er and fulfill the agreement."

When it was Chen Xuan's turn to speak, Qing Tian Yu'er smiled as she looked at Chen Xuan's face, her azure eyes filled with gentle, watery eyes.

This scene was witnessed by Qing Tian Xiao Lou, who immediately felt a pang of unease. The goodwill he had just felt towards Chen Xuan vanished almost entirely.

"What? Could it be that he's a high-end love hunter, not concerned with petty gains, but using his sister's connection to climb the social ladder and rise to prominence?" As the eldest son of the Marquis of Qingtian, his intelligence, strategy, and foresight are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"May I ask, Brother Chen Xuan, where do you come from and where do you live?" As for his younger sister's future, as her older brother, Qing Tian Xiao Lou had to avoid any possibility of a bad future.

"I come from a remote and barren place in Qingtian County, at the border of Qushan and Yanshan. I am all alone, cultivating diligently on the mountain." Chen Xuan couldn't lie, so his words were half true and half false.

"Oh, so Chen Xuan is also here to become a disciple of a sect?" Qing Tian Xiao Lou appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he had memorized the dividing line between Qu Mountain and Yan Mountain.

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have met Yu'er."

"Mmm." Qing Tian Yu'er nodded and replied, "Brother, where exactly is our home? How much longer until we get there?" Clearly, the closer they got to their once-fantasy land, the more excited and uneasy Qing Tian Yu'er became.

"It's time for a cup of tea."

"Alright, by the way, brother, if Father and Mother beat me up later, you have to stop them. After all, I've gotten myself into big trouble this time," Qing Tian Yu'er whispered.

Qing Tian Xiao Lou nodded, saying nothing more, but then probed Chen Xuan again, saying, "Brother Chen Xuan, rest assured, once we arrive at the residence, I will immediately arrange a VIP room for you, and also list out all the sect records of the entire Qing Tian County so that you can see them clearly. After all, becoming a disciple is the most important thing for a cultivator, and it cannot be taken lightly."

Qingtian Yu'er didn't grow up in the Marquis's mansion, so she couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind her brother's words.

Looking at Chen Xuan, he smiled smugly, as if to say, "See? Moving into the family mansion with me will definitely help you, you big bad guy."

However, these words meant nothing to Qing Tianyu'er, but they were quite different to Chen Xuan.

First of all, he had only met Qing Tian Xiao Lou once, and even with his relationship with Qing Tian Yu Er, he should not have said such a thing at this moment.

After all, Chen Xuan only said that he came to Qingtian City to become a disciple of a sect, and he had not yet said whether he had a sect he preferred, but Qingtian Xiaolou took it upon himself to say so.

Doesn't that sound like a deeper meaning to kick people out?

To put it bluntly, since your goal, Chen Xuan, is to become an apprentice, I don't care whether you already have a sect in mind. I'll just give you all the information on the sects recorded in the entire Qingtian County. Once you've made your choice, leave my little sister as soon as possible.

Chen Xuan looked at Qing Tian Xiao Lou, who had a perfectly normal expression. Knowing his temperament, he wouldn't tolerate this young master. He directly said to Qing Tian Yu'er, "Since the Marquis's mansion doesn't welcome us, then I don't need to go there. To avoid arousing suspicion, let's part ways here."

The atmosphere of the conversation was perfectly fine in Qing Tianyu'er's eyes, with nothing amiss.

But as soon as Chen Xuan uttered these abrupt words, the self-righteous Qing Tian Xiao Lou's face darkened, and his pupils shrank.

"What?" Qing Tian Yu'er looked at Chen Xuan, scratched her head as if her brain was about to grow out, and asked, "Who doesn't welcome you? I'd like to see who dares not to welcome you!"

Chen Xuan didn't want to explain further, and directly said to Yin Shi, who was driving the earth dragon carriage outside, "Pull over."

Chen Xuan's ability to ride in the dragon carriage and interact with the young master and the princess on equal footing naturally indicates his status.

"Yes, son!"

Roar--

As the carriage stopped, Chen Xuan ignored Qing Tian Xiao Lou's pleading look, glanced at the stunned and bewildered Qing Tian Yu'er, and directly led Bai Li out of the carriage.

During this time, Bai Li raised her head and glared at Qing Tian Yu'er with her dark eyes, saying with dissatisfaction, "I knew you were an ingrate, ungrateful wretch, hmph."

"Our interaction this time is only because of the agreement I made with Elder Sang. We have no connection whatsoever, and I, Chen Xuan, will never try to curry favor with your Qingtian clan of feudal lords."

Chen Xuan left with a cold remark, strode out, jumped off the earth dragon chariot, went directly down the main street, and disappeared from sight after a few steps.

"You big bad guy, what's wrong with you?"

Since Qing Tian Yu'er started spending time with Chen Xuan, she had never seen him so cold. Even when she was with her second primordial spirit, he was very patient and often tried to comfort her.

But now...

"Waaah, what's wrong, you big bad guy? Who doesn't welcome you?!"

Qing Tian Yu'er was so anxious that she burst into tears. She immediately got up and was about to chase after the carriage to find Chen Xuan and Bai Li.
