After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Yu Jinchen nodded, looking at Xiao Ruxue in front of him with understanding. Since he had already suspected that she was a cultivator, he was not surprised at all that she could come here.

Judging from the number of cultivators standing on this large rock, there must be at least a thousand. It's unexpected that there are so many cultivators in this mortal realm. And there are even more who are still on their way and haven't arrived yet.

Seeing that Yu Jinchen ignored her, Xiao Ruxue asked sweetly, "Brother Chen, when did you arrive? I didn't see you inside."

Yu Jinchen frowned and said, "We arrived just before dawn." After that, no matter what Xiao Ruxue said, he only responded with two "hmm" sounds.

Seeing that her face was almost contorted with anger, Xu Qingman smiled and said, "Hello, Fellow Daoist Xiao, my Jinchen is just like this, please don't take offense."

Now, Xiao Ruxue was even angrier. She cursed inwardly, "You damned woman, what are you so smug about? One day I'll get my hands on that brat surnamed Yu, and then we'll see what you're so proud of."

Although she was angry inside, she put on her usual polite smile and said to Xu Qingman, "It's okay, everyone has a different personality. Fellow Daoist Yu has always been like this, I'm used to it."

Even now, this woman is still trying to provoke Xu Qingman.

At this moment, the man who had been standing with Xiao Ruxue walked over and called out anxiously, "Junior sister, I've searched everywhere, but I still can't find Master. He hasn't come out yet."

Xiao Ruxue was secretly pleased, but her face showed a shocked expression. "Ah! What should we do? What did my martial uncles say? They didn't see Master either?"

"No, two of my uncle's disciples haven't come out either. I wonder what happened to them?"

"Then, senior brother, shall we go look again? I believe that Master is a lucky man and will definitely be alright."

Xiao Ruxue was anxious on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking about how the old man had humiliated her over the years. She thought it would be better if the old man died, so that he would stop harming her.

As Xiao Ruxue and her senior brother described their master's appearance to those around them while searching for someone, Xu Qingman and Yu Jinchen exchanged a secret glance, then subtly watched the various ships speeding across the sea.

It seems the black-clad cultivator who died at their hands last night was Xiao Ruxue's master. So Xu Qingman's suspicions about her weren't wrong; if even her master practiced evil techniques, how could she not?

As the two were pondering whether to take the yacht back to shore in person, they saw a fleet of ships flying red flags heading towards the island.

A tall, middle-aged general disembarked from the first ship. His aura was powerful, suggesting he was a highly skilled warrior. Despite wielding a long sword and wearing a formal uniform, the two appeared perfectly harmonious.

Xu Qingman then realized that there were also cultivators in the national team.

She was increasingly unable to understand this world. Was this still the world she lived in in her previous life? Or was it a parallel universe? After all, she had never heard of cultivation in her previous life.

Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped torturing herself. In any case, one day she would know what she needed to know.

"Fellow Daoists, now that this secret realm has vanished, I hope you will not linger here any longer and will return."

The middle-aged general added, "We still have a few vacancies in our special affairs group. We hope that fellow Daoists will sign up enthusiastically and join us in serving our country."

After he finished speaking, several young people actually went over. From what the people around them were saying, the special affairs team members were all monks, specializing in handling unusual events.

This middle-aged general is the leader of the special affairs group. He has the cultivation level of the mid-stage Golden Core realm and holds a considerable position in the cultivation world.

Everyone present gave him face, and when he told them to leave, they all took out various boats and prepared to depart.

Seeing that everyone had taken their boats from their storage spaces, Xu Qingman and her companion declined Xiao Ruxue's invitation to ride with them and generously took out their own yachts.

It was already late at night when they got home. Instead of practicing their cultivation, they prepared to wash up and go to sleep.

I've been so tired these past few days. It's not just physical exhaustion, but a combination of physical and mental fatigue. I think it would be best to get some sleep and rest.

Xu Qingman slept soundly until dawn before emerging from her bedroom refreshed.

Yu Jinchen got up early and had already bought breakfast. Although the two of them had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and no longer needed to eat, their long-standing habit made them feel uneasy if they missed a meal.

"Slowly, after we finish eating, I'll take you to school and then go sell the fish."

Oh right, there are still so many wild yellow croakers that the two people on the boat caught, but Jin Chen's own hotel needs them too, so why sell them to others?

Thinking about all this, Xu Qingman asked, "Jinchen, even if your buffet restaurant can't use such high-end seafood, don't you still have hotels that can use it?"

Yu Jinchen smiled at her and said, "Silly girl, my hotel can only handle the smaller ones at most. As for the fish you caught that weigh forty or fifty pounds, you'll have to find those big bosses who are really willing to spend money."

“Oh, okay then. We’ll keep some for ourselves and store them in our space so we can cook them ourselves when we have time.” Xu Qingman nodded.

"I'll definitely keep some. When I go home for the New Year, I'll take some out for your family to try."

Before leaving, Yu Jinchen handed her a white flip phone, saying that he had bought it on Friday so that they could contact each other more easily.

……

"Manman, you're only just arriving too?" Xu Qingman had just arrived at the school gate when she ran into Chen Fang and Fang Yu, who had just gotten off the bus.

"Yes, Fang, didn't you say that Fang Yu had something to do and that you couldn't come together this weekend? Why did you come together again?"

Chen Fang gave Fang Yu a sweet look, "Hehe, A-Yu rushed back early this morning."

"Oh my, you two are like this, you don't want to be apart for even a day."

"Hmph! Of course, you're no different yourself, yet you dare to make fun of me."

Fang Yu walked behind with a smile on his lips, watching the two of them playfully running towards the teaching building.

During lunch, Zhao Lina gently kicked Xu Qingman, gesturing for her to look to her right at the table against the wall where the boys from their class were sitting.

Xu Qingman understood what Zhao Lina meant. As a cultivator, she couldn't possibly be unaware of being watched every day. Besides, since Zhao Lina hadn't said it directly, she could only pretend not to notice.

Besides, most people at school who know her know that she has a boyfriend, not to mention her classmates.

Just as she stepped out of the cafeteria after finishing her meal, Han Mingsi, the boy from earlier, stopped Xu Qingman, his face flushed as he looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Seeing that he wasn't saying anything and was blocking our way, if he didn't leave soon, the onlookers would gather around.

Left with no other option, Xu Qingman asked him, "Han, is something the matter?"

Xu Qingman's tone was stiff, and she was clearly very unhappy.

Han Mingsi was nudged by a classmate next to him, which stopped his pounding heart. He mustered up his courage and said, "Xu Qingman, I... I like you. I wonder if you can be my girlfriend?"

Xu Qingman turned and left, leaving behind only the words, "No, I already have a boyfriend."
