The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Although the vile woman in front of him had clearly stated those words, Chen Xuan still nodded firmly:

"I am willing to wait, no matter how long it takes or how many obstacles I encounter. I will keep waiting because I love Jue'er deeply and I believe she will come back to me one day."

Qing Lanyu was deeply moved; she could see that Chen Xuan genuinely liked her.

"Alright, look, since you're so devoted, we can take a gamble."

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up: "What are we betting on? Jue'er? She's my woman, I would never bet on her!"

Qing Lanyu's smile grew even brighter.

"Hmm? 7? 9, I got it. But you should listen to what we're betting on first!"

"Please speak freely, fairy."

A sly smile appeared on Qing Lanyu's lips: "The condition is that if you can find Qing Lanjue, I will no longer interfere in your affairs."

However, if you can't find her, or if you can't be together long-term, then you'll have to work for me! Of course, I won't deliberately prevent you from seeing each other; I'll give you opportunities to meet her!

Chen Xuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Qing Lanyu to make such a condition. So it definitely wasn't due to pressure from the Green Mountain Ancestor. Goodness, this woman was doing it on purpose!

However, in order to prevent Qing Lanyu from knowing that he knew the secret that Qing Lanjue was Qing Lanyu, Chen Xuan still agreed to Qing Lanyu's conditions.

"Alright, I promise you! As long as I can't win over Qinglan Jue, I will definitely serve the fairy by cutting her sword and leading her horse, even at the cost of my life!"

Qing Lanyu blinked, sensing that Chen Xuan's words had a hidden meaning.

Well, you dare to covet even someone like me with Mahayana cultivation? You're truly arrogant!

However, Qing Lanyu was still delighted, after all, she had finally succeeded in securing an opportunity for herself to have Chen Xuan all to herself.

"If you have nothing else to do, go watch the game. Don't bother me." Qing Lanyu waved her hand and removed the soundproofing array.

"Farewell!" Chen Xuan bowed and left the platform.

As Qing Lanyu watched Chen Xuan's departing figure, a deep sense of reluctance rose in her heart, and her mood became slightly disappointed. She wanted to call out to Chen Xuan, but seeing the Green Mountain Ancestor beside the arena, she decided not to try to stop him.

......

After several rounds of fierce battles, Tang Sirui and his team finally defeated Fire Spirit Academy and secured their advancement to the next round.

However, some minor incidents still occurred.

Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu were in a bad mood and launched a reckless attack. However, the cultivation levels of the people on the field were not much different, and the final counterattack of the Fire Spirit Academy was extremely fierce. With Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu separated from the team, they also found an opportunity to launch a frenzied attack on the weak points of the Monster Academy.

That is, Yan Xi and Zhai Ningning.

Although both of them were quite capable in their respective fields, they were still somewhat overwhelmed by the combined attack of cultivators of the same realm. Unable to withstand the onslaught, they sustained injuries of varying degrees.

Zhai Ningning's immortal soul possesses healing abilities, but these abilities prove somewhat inadequate when used by Chen Xuan, a professional doctor.

After the match, Chen Xuan gave the two of them a special medical check-up.

Yan Xi was easily dismissed with a simple pill, but Zhai Ningning, of course, needs to be observed more closely.

"Brother Yan Xi, after taking this pill and circulating your internal energy for a while, your injuries will visibly improve."

"Thank you, brother!" Yan Xi took the pills and went to find a place to rest.

Then, Chen Xuan looked at Zhai Ningning, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself.

This made Zhai Ningning frown. She could clearly sense that Chen Xuan seemed to be trying to distance himself from her, which made her somewhat unhappy.

I am, after all, a noble lady from a prestigious family. I don't look down on you, but you, a person from the lower realm, are the first to look down on me.

It wasn't that she lacked healing treasures, but ever since Chen Xuan emerged from the secret realm, she seemed unable to resist secretly visiting him.

Even though his appearance hadn't changed at all, she inexplicably wanted to look at Chen Xuan. It was as if he possessed some kind of magic, making him more and more handsome the more she looked at him.

It's like a beautiful woman ascending from the lower realm; men generally wouldn't feel disgusted by her, but would instead flock around her.

Chen Xuan's situation is similar, but the genders are reversed.

No wonder Qingwu kept running over to find him.

In the end, Chen Xuan had never actually offended her. On the contrary, she believed from the beginning that there should be a separation between men and women, so she always acted as if she disliked Chen Xuan. But in reality, she just disliked every man in the team equally, except for Tang Sirui and Dai Dabai.

But now that she realizes Chen Xuan doesn't care about her dislike at all, and is even deliberately distancing himself from her, she suddenly blushes.

A mere mortal from the lower realms dares to look down on me?! Who gave you the audacity?! Hmm?!

"What's wrong? Can't you heal my injury? Your medical skills seem to be nothing special!" Zhai Ningning said with disdain.

Chen Xuan glanced at the two bodyguards (Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu) beside Zhai Ningning and sighed.

She's so defensive, can't people trust each other even a little bit?! And you, Rouwu, didn't you dislike me at all? What are you doing here now?! You're just a hypocrite!

"No, that's not it. I know Miss Zhai comes from a noble family and would probably disdain associating with someone like me, which is why I didn't say anything," Chen Xuan said calmly.

Zhai Ningning was quite surprised to hear Chen Xuan say that.

She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be able to see through her thoughts and say those words so calmly, which made her curious about him.

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you," Zhai Ningning said arrogantly, but her tone had softened considerably.

But Rouwu, who was behind her, shook her head.

Sigh, Zhai Ningning is still too naive. So Chen Xuan even knows these tricks! Why doesn't he use them on her? Maybe she could have tricked him back then!

"This time, this time I'll reluctantly let you see it!"

“In that case, I will treat Miss Zhai’s injuries. Please extend your hand, Miss Zhai.” Chen Xuan said, taking out a thin rope.

"what is this?"

"For you to treat your wounds."

Why do I need this kind of rope to heal my wounds?

Just as Zhai Ningning was lost in thought, Chen Xuan handed the thin rope to Zhu Zhu, indicating that Zhu Zhu should wrap it around her hand.

Zhai Ningning: "???"

"Oh, this is called 'suspended thread pulse diagnosis,' the purpose of which is to avoid touching your precious body." Seeing Zhai Ningning's confusion, Chen Xuan casually explained, while his expression instantly turned impatient.

He doesn't need to say anything; he can just let the woman fill in the blanks.
