"Bang bang bang!"

"Chen Xuan, right? Come out here!" Zhao Tianming called from outside.

Chen Xuan frowned when he heard the knocking on the door. He knew it was Zhao Tianming who had come looking for him, but he was busy cultivating with Chen Wenwen and couldn't pay attention to him.

Zhao Tianming was still knocking on the door outside. After knocking for a long time without anyone opening the door, he immediately lost his temper and wanted to force his way in.

He smashed the gate open with a single palm strike and walked straight into the courtyard. But the moment he got close, he felt a dizzying sensation, and when he came to his senses, he was already outside the city.

"A teleportation array?! How is this possible?!"

After a slight shock, he returned to the Zhao family again, but no matter what he did, he couldn't enter Zhoudu and was always some distance away from the city gate!

"Tianming, don't be impulsive. This isn't outside the city. You've entered an illusion!" The jade pendant around Zhao Tianming's neck flashed, and a mature, sophisticated voice came from behind.

"An illusion? Master, who exactly is this Chen Xuan? How could he possess something like this!" Zhao Tianming communicated with the woman in the jade pendant through his divine sense.

The woman in the jade pendant pondered for a moment and then said, "This Chen Xuan has an extraordinary background. Although he has no cultivation, he possesses this kind of formation. The person behind him is probably someone you cannot afford to offend right now."

"What should we do? Master, I can't just watch Wenwen be taken away by him!" Zhao Tianming said anxiously.

"The fact that you're alright now proves that he has no ill intentions towards you. Just wait a little while."

"But, Master, Wenwen, she..."

"I've told you so many times, don't rush into things. Sometimes the reality isn't what you think!"

"Besides, you are not in any danger right now. If I were to take action, it would be too wasteful of my soul power. Until we find a spiritual medicine to replenish the soul, every time I use it, it will be one less time!" the older sister scolded.

"Yes."

After hearing this, Zhao Tianming forced himself to calm down.

He thought about it carefully. Zhao Wenwen was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If she didn't want to, Chen Xuan, a cripple, definitely wouldn't be able to get close to her.

"Yes, Wenwen will definitely keep her distance from him. I have to trust her!"

Little did they know that Zhao Wenwen was at a crucial moment in her cultivation. Zhao Tianming's arrival and interruption only made her unsettled, giving Chen Xuan an opportunity to make her anxious and flustered.

……

In Chen Xuan's courtyard, Chen Xuan was holding Chen Wenwen, watching Zhao Tianming circling around in the yard.

"What do you think of my suggestion, Wenwen?"

"No, no, husband, you're going too far! Can't you just tell the truth? Why do you have to lie to me!" Chen Wenwen frowned.

During this time, Chen Xuan and Chen Wenwen spent many peaceful and pleasant moments together, and their feelings for each other deepened day by day. It could be said that Chen Wenwen's entire demeanor had already...

"Wenwen, you don't understand. This is to strengthen the bond between us as husband and wife!"

“Yes, is that how you add things? My husband is such a bad person. I thought you were a gentleman at first.” Chen Wenwen gently patted Chen Xuan’s shoulder.

"How am I not a gentleman? If I had known earlier that you and he were childhood sweethearts, I wouldn't have..."

"Alright, my husband, it's all in the past! Wenwen is now just your wife. Before that, I felt mostly gratitude towards him, but it wasn't until I met you, my husband, that I realized what love is!"

Chen Xuan, feeling "touched," gave Chen Wenwen a hug.

"But...but, do we really have to lie to him?"

"Lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife."

"Okay, okay."

……

Not long after, Chen Wenwen went back into the house, and Chen Xuan also dispelled the illusion, letting Zhao Tianming out.

Looking at Chen Xuan standing under the eaves, he was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily, "So it's you? The one who was with Zhou Jingyi! You're Chen Xuan?!"

"Zhou Jingyi??" Chen Wenwen, who was inside the room, frowned when she heard this name.

"Long time no see, Brother Zhao! How have you been?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I don't care what your purpose is, where's Wenwen? Where is she?!"

"Chen Xuan, listen to me! I don't care who you are or what abilities you have, if you dare to have any improper thoughts about Wenwen, I will never let you off!" Zhao Tianming roared.

"Wenwen..."

"You're not allowed to call her that!"

"Then what should I call you? Should I call you 'wife'?"

"I think you're asking for death!" Zhao Tianming roared, about to rush forward and teach Chen Xuan a lesson!

"Enough, Zhao Tianming, what are you doing?" Chen Wenwen stepped forward.

"Wenwen..."

Looking at Zhao Wenwen in front of him, with her slender yet firm figure, beautiful curves, and light steps, like a noble swan, Zhao Tianming was stunned.

He always felt that Zhao Wenwen had changed. Although her appearance hadn't changed much, he just felt that she had gained a special charm and a unique allure.

Zhao Tianming calmed down.

"What are you doing? Why are you attacking my husband... Chen Xuan?"

"I...he!!" Zhao Tianming was in the wrong and couldn't utter a word.

At this moment, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said, "Brother Tianming, don't worry, I have no improper thoughts about Zhao Wenwen. I've always considered you a close friend. After learning that you and Wenwen were childhood sweethearts, I..."

"What are you?!" Zhao Tianming asked impatiently, a bad feeling creeping over him.

[I used all my strength!] Chen Xuan thought to himself, but he smiled and didn't say it aloud.

“I’ve never even touched her. We’re just husband and wife in name only; there’s no romantic relationship between us.”

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhao Tianming looked at Chen Xuan with a skeptical expression.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Of course, you can go ask Wenwen, she's right here!"

Zhao Tianming looked at Zhao Wenwen.

The latter gave Chen Xuan a reproachful look, then nodded stiffly.

"Phew..." Zhao Tianming breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Tianming calmed down a bit. He looked at Chen Xuan and said in a deep voice, "I hope what you're saying is true, otherwise, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'm a gentleman! Even if you don't trust me, surely you can trust Wenwen?"

"That's...right, Wenwen would never lie to me!"

"However, Brother Lao, you tore down my front door without even asking what happened. Isn't that a bit too much?!"

"It's just a door. Even if I'm down on my luck, I'm not short of money!" Zhao Tianming said arrogantly.

"Zhao Tianming, I didn't expect that you would become so arrogant after just one training trip! You made a mistake, so why are you still so haughty?"

Chen Wenwen was displeased and started cursing at Zhao Tianming.
