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

Zheng——

wow——

A divine flying sword, radiating a chilling sword light, instantly appeared in Zi Yu's hand. Its tip gleamed with a cold, menacing light, pointing directly at Chen Xuan and his companion. She shouted sharply, "Speak! What is your purpose in approaching us?"

In an instant, the atmosphere became oppressive, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on everyone, making it hard to breathe. Wang Kaixuan suddenly sprang to his feet, his spiritual energy surging wildly, and two terrifying black dragons instantly coiled around his arms. The black dragons roared to the sky, their voices shaking the surrounding area, their scales shimmering with a cold, eerie light.

Although Chen Xuan was merely sitting cross-legged on the rock with a calm and indifferent expression, he was slightly moved when he saw that Zi Yu dared to point her sword at him.

wow——

In an instant, a vast and powerful aura of the Dao of Sword was released. This aura, like a surging wave, swept towards Ziyu and the other person with boundless pressure.

What immense and terrifying power this was! It was as if the entire space was trembling under this force.

Ziyu and Yueming instinctively circulated their spiritual power to resist, but the fear surging deep within them made them instantly realize that the person in front of them was far beyond their ability to contend with.

"Fellow Daoists, do you believe me now?" Chen Xuan calmly looked at Zi Yu, whose attitude had remained hostile, and slowly said, "I, Chen Xuan, have always disdained murder and robbery. I've come here only to trade the divine ore sword for a little bit of Origin Liquid. If I wanted to take your lives..."

“Little sister, if my junior brother hadn’t told me that he had some connection with your academy, you would have been dead just now.” Wang Kaixuan looked at Ziyu with displeasure. “Next time you’re out, it’s better to be polite before you find out what someone’s intentions.”

In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivators, strength is everything. Once one's strength is crushed, life and death are like a candle flickering in the wind, entirely in the hands of others.

Although Wang Kaixuan's words were extremely harsh, Ziyu and Yueming's attention was not on him at all, but rather on Chen Xuan, who remained calm and composed.

Ziyu stared blankly at Chen Xuan, seemingly lost in thought. Yue Ming, on the other hand, frowned deeply, as if trying to recall something. Suddenly, he seemed to remember a crucial clue. After comparing it with the portrait hanging on the wall of his senior sister's residence, his pupils dilated instantly, his face filled with shock.

"You, what did you just say your name was?" Zi Yu, who had previously been arrogant, asked Chen Xuan with a slightly trembling voice.

"I will not change my name or surname, I am Chen Xuan." Chen Xuan replied calmly and firmly.

"Chen... Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, is he the newest disciple of the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace?"

While Ziyu was terrified by the powerful pressure emanating from Chen Xuan, what excited her so much at this moment was this name.

"Hey, are you two scared out of your wits by our strength?" Wang Kaixuan hadn't figured out the situation yet, and thought the two of them were at a loss because they were frightened by the aura they had unleashed.

"Do you want this divine ore knife or not? If not, we'll find another buyer."

"Buy it, we'll buy it!" Yue Ming was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth, and he looked at Chen Xuan hurriedly, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

After Yue Ming nodded, he quickly transmitted his thoughts to Zi Yu with his divine sense: "There is no mistake, this handsome young man with black robes and white hair is the person in the portrait hanging in Senior Sister Tianxing's room."

Upon hearing this, Ziyu stared blankly at Chen Xuan again, stammering, "Sister, brother-in-law?"

The moment he called him "brother-in-law," not only Yue Ming was stunned, but Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan were also astonished and looked at each other in disbelief.

"Are you scared out of your wits?" Wang Kaixuan said, somewhat displeased.

"No, that's not it." Ziyu was both nervous and excited. She wanted to get closer to Chen Xuan but was also a little reserved. Her hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes. She could only explain, "My Daoist name is Ziyu, and my sister's Daoist name is Zimo."

"Uh..." Chen Xuan was also taken aback when he heard this, and carefully examined Zi Yu's face. It has to be said that, upon closer inspection, apart from the purple dress that was completely different from Zi Mo's and her fiery personality, her appearance did indeed resemble Zi Mo's somewhat.

"Are you really Zi Mo's sister?" Chen Xuan asked Zi Yu with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Yes, she's my real sister." Ziyu tidied her slightly messy long hair, revealing her fair face. Then, she walked up to Chen Xuan somewhat awkwardly, tilted her head up slightly with curiosity, and examined Chen Xuan's face up close.

Feeling embarrassed by being scrutinized so closely by a young girl, Chen Xuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Who told you I'm your brother-in-law? Zi Mo and I are just friends."

"Who said that?" Ziyu asked without thinking. "Senior Sister Tianxing and Senior Brother Lingchen both said so?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly and smiled wryly.

"I never expected Junior Brother to have such a romantic encounter. I've heard that there are several beauties in the four great academies, two of whom are named Zi Mo and Tian Xing." Wang Kaixuan looked at Chen Xuan with a playful, gossipy expression.
