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

"Oh, I see!"

"Why don't you... try to persuade Yu Gang?" Dong Li suddenly suggested.

"Me? You can't even persuade him, how can I? Let's just forget about it." Chen Xuan refused.

If he's not mistaken, Qian Yunji might have made some moves as well. If he wants to win over the woman in front of him, he should make some preparations.

"Give it a try! How will you know if it works if you don't try it?"

"...Alright, at worst I'll just fool him and get him to cooperate with you, Master's wife!"

"Great idea! Your master's wife didn't trust you for nothing. Here, this is the key to the Black Prison. From now on, you will be in charge of the Black Prison!" Dong Li was overjoyed and immediately led Chen Xuan to the entrance of the Black Prison.

"I won't go in. You go and try to persuade him."

“Okay, then I’ll go in first and talk to my teacher!” Chen Xuan didn’t dawdle. He opened the gate of the Black Prison and went straight in.

Soon, he arrived at the door of the room where Yu Gang was being held. There were many people being held there at the same time, and coincidentally, Ye Xingchen was in the room next to Yu Gang's.

"Hmph, Dong Li, you insulted me like this, locked me up in this inhuman place, and tried to force me to marry you. Let me tell you, dream on!"

"It's me, not my master's wife."

"Chen Xuan?!" Yu Gang was also taken aback when he heard the familiar voice.

"Yes, it's me. I've come to the Flying Immortal Sect now." Chen Xuan said calmly. He no longer needed to pretend. His main purpose in coming here was to kill Yu Gang.

However, now is not the time to make a move. That woman Dong Li said she wouldn't come in, but who knows where she's eavesdropping right now.

"What are you doing at the Flying Immortal Sect? Are you here to save me?"

"No, it was my master's wife who sent me."

"Master's wife? You mean Yu Yan?"

"No, it was Master Dongli's wife. She told me that you are about to marry her, so I changed my address."

"Damn it! Good disciple, it's not like that. That bitch lied to you. She coerced you into all of this. Didn't you see me locked up in this dark prison? Does this look like a normal person about to get married?"

Chen Xuan blinked frantically, feeling helpless.

"What's wrong with you? How can such a grown cultivator have eye problems?"

"Okay, actually I came to save you, teacher," Chen Xuan changed his tune.

What's wrong with Yu Gang? He shouldn't be this stupid. He already told Dong Li that she sent him, and he even winked frantically to hint at it, and this idiot...

Chen Xuan suddenly looked at another cell, where Ye Xingchen was being held.

"Damn, this isn't even a character from a book, yet I can be influenced by them?! I need to stay away from this person!"

"Ding, the system comes with an anti-brain drain aura, host, there is no need to panic."

"Oh, I see. Then it's alright!"

"Good! You truly are my good disciple. You are far superior to that group of people. I've been captured for so long, and you're the only one who came to rescue me! Now, what do you plan to do?"

"Ahem, now I've calmed down Master Dongli's wife. She's worried about your reluctance to marry her, so I volunteered to come and persuade you, so that we can have a chance to get to know each other!"

"So that's how it is. I'm sorry to have troubled you. But how are you going to get me out of here?" At this moment, Yu Gang only wanted to get out of the house.

This dark prison is truly no place for a human being.

"My plan requires you to make some sacrifices, teacher, and promise Dongli's wife that once you leave this dark prison on our wedding day, I can find a way to set up a small teleportation array to send you directly out!"

"Brilliant!" Yu Gang said excitedly, "My apprentice is so clever. From now on, it's all up to you! But... the wedding day is still some time away. I hope that bitch won't make a move on me beforehand."

Chen Xuan patted his chest and assured him, "Teacher, don't worry, with me here, I will definitely protect you. Besides, Master Dongli likes you very much, how could she bear to hurt you?"

"That's good." Yu Gang sighed. "I wonder how things are outside... sigh..."

"Teacher, don't worry. You just need to wait patiently for the wedding day," Chen Xuan comforted him, while inwardly pondering how to implement his plan.

Just kidding, Dong Li has to be his; anything else is nonsense!

"Alright, since there's nothing else, I'll leave now to make preparations. Please don't throw a tantrum, Teacher, and go along with Dongli's wife!"

"Don't worry, once I get out, I will definitely summon the great powers of the cultivation world to come and destroy this Flying Immortal Sect!"

"Alright, we'll talk about the future later. I'll go back and report now."

"Okay, take care on your journey!"

After saying goodbye to Yu Gang, Chen Xuan walked to Ye Xingchen's cell and sighed.

"Elder Chen Xuan, why do you sigh?"

"Alas, Xingchen, I know you have been wronged, but in our Flying Immortal Sect, I have little influence and can't speak up for you. You have suffered so much!"

"You...you really think I've been wronged?"

"How could it be fake? I dare not speak for others, but with so much righteous energy in you, Xingchen, it's impossible for you to harm your fellow disciples. There must be something fishy about this. Unfortunately... my cultivation is too low to help you!"

"Elder Chen Xuan...you are a good person! I believe that the innocent will clear themselves. I didn't do it, and one day I will clear my name!"

"then you……"

"I'll wait here. One day, they'll come to apologize to me and ask me to leave!"

Chen Xuan gave a thumbs up and then prepared to leave. This protagonist isn't exactly mentally sound; it's not a good place to linger.

"Ask you to leave?? Hahaha, how ridiculous! I never expected that the Flying Immortal Sect would treat you like this, yet you would still be so naive as to believe it all!"

A woman's voice rang out, full of allure, attracting Chen Xuan's attention. He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a female prisoner with a noble and mysterious air.

Even though she was sealed in a dark cage, her posture remained upright, and her eyes were full of determination and perseverance.

Her face did not become dull due to long-term imprisonment; on the contrary, it exuded the unique charm and elegance of a noble woman who had fallen on hard times.
