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

Even with the strength of three immortals, they could hear the conversation between Chen Xuan and the other person with a single thought of their divine sense.

The elderly man with white hair and beard, who was at the head of the group, looked at his two brothers with slight surprise after hearing Chen Xuan's analysis. "This boy is no ordinary person. Even if his analysis has many errors, it is close to the truth."

Another tall, thin, white-haired old man also looked at Chen Xuan through the formation and nodded in agreement, "At such a young age, he is meticulous and dares to analyze even when facing the Xuanxiao royal family. He is indeed extraordinary."

“If it weren’t for the fact that he saved Yu’er and had no ulterior motives towards her, we would never have let him see Yu’er again.”

"Hostages? Control?" The leading elder stroked his beard and shook his head with a sigh. "Tens of thousands of years ago, Emperor Xuanxiao did indeed implement such a scheme, but even if a direct descendant became a hostage, didn't those feudal lords and kings still rebel?"

"Yes, ever since the Batian Marquis's rebellion failed 70,000 years ago and his tribe was wiped out, Emperor Xuanxiao realized that the hostage system was not feasible. Not only was it not feasible, it would also deepen the resentment of the three thousand lords towards the emperor. Therefore, the God-Slaying Guard and the Immortal-Slaying Hall were established to monitor all sides."

Another short, stout old man shook his head, revealing a disdainful look. "The Overlord is a native of this world. When the emperor saw his amazing combat power and simple mind, he made an exception and enfeoffed him as a vassal king at the beginning of the world's establishment, out of consideration for his merits. It's a pity that he has no idea how powerful the tribe behind Emperor Xuanxiao is."

"Among the super tribes behind Emperor Xuanxiao, there is a living True Immortal in charge on the surface. If that's the case on the surface, who knows how much fighting power they have hidden?"

When the topic turned to true immortals, the three elders all showed boundless admiration.

"Yes, my ancestors followed Emperor Xuanxiao to fight in all directions from an early age. The ancestral teachings say that no matter what turmoil occurs in the Xuanxiao world, my Qingtian clan must stand on the side of the emperor."

The three immortal ancestors conversed with each other, discussing some of the secrets behind the royal family from their ancestral teachings, and occasionally expressing their satisfaction with Chen Xuan's guidance and comfort to Qing Tian Yu'er.

"So, I have to go to the headquarters of the Imperial God-Slaying Guard in the capital?" Qing Tian Yu'er asked Chen Xuan with dissatisfaction inside the Qiong Yu Tower.

Chen Xuan nodded. "If you don't want to be killed early, then temporarily follow the arrangements of your ancestors. They won't harm you."

“But I…” Qing Tian Yu’er looked at Chen Xuan, her pearly teeth and red lips filled with reluctance, and said, “I don’t want to be separated from you.”

Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled, "So what if we're together every day? Does that mean we won't need to cultivate? That we won't need to travel around and hone our skills to improve our strength?"

"Don't be naive. I have my own mission to carry, and even if you want to, I don't want to." Chen Xuan looked at Qing Tian Yu'er with firm eyes and said, "I don't want you to be like this. You have a powerful tribe to rely on, while I can only keep getting stronger so that I have enough strength to do what I want to do."

Chen Xuan was like that. When faced with a relatively calm girl like Zi Mo, he only needed to enlighten her on her Dao heart, and Zi Mo would understand the deeper meaning.

Qing Tian Yu'er was young and inexperienced, so Chen Xuan naturally had to explain things more clearly.

"Waaah, I know." In the eyes of outsiders, Qing Tian Yu'er is an unapproachable, aloof and proud little princess, the apple of the eye of the tribe, but she acts like a little girl when facing Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan looked at Qing Tianyu'er and pondered, "Ten or twenty years is just a small episode on our long road of cultivation. Compared to the hundreds or thousands of years that your clan's immortal ancestors go into seclusion, it is nothing. Love and affection are not just momentary impulses, but must withstand the test and sedimentation of time."

Chen Xuan looked at Qing Tianyu'er and said, "If we haven't seen each other for thousands of years, and during that time you encountered many true heroes in the God-Slaying Guard, and went through trials and tribulations with them, can you guarantee that you won't forget me and fall in love with them?"

"No, I won't," Qing Tian Yu'er said, her face flushed, as she clenched her fist in assurance.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? If it were me, I wouldn't dare to guarantee it, because nothing is absolute. We cannot predict or control what will happen next."

"Waaah, you big bad guy, I knew it!" Qing Tian Yu'er said angrily, pounding Chen Xuan's chest.

Chen Xuan laughed heartily, tightened his arms around the young girl, and the two of them stopped talking, but they both understood each other's feelings.

"Regardless of the circumstances, I support your decision to go to the capital and join the God-Slaying Guard headquarters for cultivation," Chen Xuan said in a low voice. "Of course, my concern for your safety is only one reason; I also have my own selfish motives."

The three old men witnessed this scene of them embracing.

For these old folks who have lived for thousands of years, the love affairs of the younger generation are nothing more than trivial matters that they wouldn't care about. However, when they heard Chen Xuan say that he had ulterior motives, the three of them had to take it seriously.

"What ulterior motive?" Qing Tian Yu'er asked, holding Chen Xuan with her eyes closed and inhaling the unique fragrance emanating from him.

"Rumor has it that Wanbaoshan, the headquarters of the God-Slaying Guard and the Immortal-Slaying Hall are all under the control of Emperor Xuanxiao. Among them, the God-Slaying Guard is the emperor's eyes and ears, monitoring the three thousand kings, while Wanbaoshan monitors various tribes, sects, and cultivators, and even collects intelligence from all sides."

What Chen Xuan knew was certainly no secret to Qing Tian Yu'er.

"Ah."

Chen Xuan said, "When you go to Xuanxiao Imperial Capital, I want you to do me a favor."

"What kind of help?" Qing Tian Yu'er nodded.

Chen Xuan didn't want to reveal that he wasn't a rogue cultivator. He naturally knew that more than one expert was monitoring him, so he could only send a telepathic message: "Help me find my clansmen scattered throughout this great world."

Hearing that Chen Xuan actually told her this through telepathy, Qing Tian Yu'er nodded without changing her expression and asked in return, "You big bad guy, you just need to tell me some information points, and I will do my best to find out for you when we get to the capital."

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment before naming a few people: "Jiang Linglong, Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, Lu Xueqi, Shi Hao, Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Zhishun, Zhong Yunlong, Ni Baobao... If you can't find out about these, then inquire about the name of a tribe: the Longxia tribe."

When cultivators reach a certain level, they can almost all achieve the ability to remember everything they see. After repeatedly reciting the names of the people, Qing Tian Yu'er completely memorized them and nodded to Chen Xuan, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you know if there is any news."

Seemingly curious about their relationship with Chen Xuan, Qing Tian Yu'er asked in confusion, "Who are these people to you? Why isn't any of them surnamed Chen?"

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "My disciples, friends, Daoist partners, and clansmen are among them."

“Disciple, friend, clansman… Daoist partner? Daoist partner!!!” Qing Tian Yu’er was stunned. “You really have a Daoist partner? Waaah, destroy it, I suddenly don’t want to live anymore.”
