Chapter 539: Chapter 268: Truly Worthy of You (2)

So it was like this, Chu Xuan took "Xiaoxue’s" hand, nodded slightly, and then left.

Although Yun Yan talked tough, she still followed along, personally escorting them out of the Grotto Heaven.

Before their departure, Chu Xuan gazed at her face for a long, long time, then sighed, "It’s a pity you’re too clever, otherwise I might really like you."

Yun Yan blushed slightly, biting her lip, "I’ve heard women become a bit foolish after having children."

"Alright, alright!" Ji Mingyu immediately jumped in to interrupt, "Are you playing some tragic drama here? Suddenly acting like you’re in deep affection, reluctantly parting, let’s go, let’s go."

Chu Xuan chuckled, then waved goodbye to Yun Yan, and took the "little vinegar jar" on the sword light to leave.

The Lord Monster Saint gazed far into the distance at Chu Xuan’s departing figure, a hint of melancholy in her expression.

The Twin Guardians looked on, somewhat worried, and asked in unison, "Lord, you were joking just now, right?"

Yun Yan then snapped back to her senses, "Which part?"

"The part about having children."

Yun Yan chuckled softly, "Who knows~"

...

On the sword light, Chu Xuan remained silent along the way, lost in thought.

The beauty head pondered for a while, finally couldn’t help but ask, in a curious tone, "Why do women become a bit foolish after having children?"

Ji Mingyu initially wanted to answer offhandedly, but then realized she hadn’t heard of such a saying?

So she looked at Chu Xuan in confusion, "That must be that woman’s nonsense, right?"

Chu Xuan returned to his senses, laughed and shook his head, "In folklore, there’s indeed a saying ’one pregnancy makes you foolish for three years’, referring to women possibly experiencing memory decline, lack of concentration, and slow thinking after pregnancy."

"Of course, not everyone is like this; some say it’s just psychological, and that these phenomena gradually fade as one recovers after childbirth."

"Huh?" The beauty head felt a bit repelled, "Then I don’t want to have babies in the future."

Ji Mingyu and Xiaoxue nodded in agreement, and Ming Yu said, "Being foolish for three years, who knows what might happen during that time?"

Chu Xuan was somewhat amused, "Can you not discuss this so seriously? I already said it’s just folklore."

Actually, what he really wanted to complain about was: Mengxian, you don’t even have a body, yet here you are thinking about having babies? Even if you rebuild your body in the future, you’re akin to a ’zombie’, can you even have babies??

Of course, Chu Xuan didn’t say it out loud, lest he upset her.

But the interruption from them nonetheless led Chu Xuan to stop contemplating Lady Yinhe’s matter, and focus entirely on closed-door cultivation! He must break into the seventh realm before the Celestial Pool Secret Mansion opens.

...

Although it seemed like Chu Xuan was circling around everywhere, he had actually left the Demon Sect for only a few months, making the best use of his time.

Upon his return to Li’an Hall, Yao Yufei’s eyes lit up, and she greeted him warmly.

"Master, you’re back~" She seemed in a good mood, her beauty looking more radiant, prompting Ji Mingyu to secretly curse her as "vixen".

Not to mention, why are you calling like that with so much flattery??

Yao Yufei, however, didn’t realize she was being cursed, and simply expressed admiration with a face full of respect, "As expected of you."

Chu Xuan froze for a moment, what’s going on? What’s as expected of me, I didn’t do anything?

In order not to lose face in front of his subordinates, despite his doubts, Chu Xuan maintained a calm nod, "Has everything been going smoothly recently?"

"Naturally, the Profound Celestial Sect is still the same, engaging in pointless verbal battles, so boring."

"Moreover, with the new blood joining the Celestial Alliance, it has become even stronger, the most important thing is that we’ve gained the upper hand."

Chu Xuan listened, even more bewildered, "What’s this ’new blood’? I told you not to expand the forces anymore, why are you being so disobedient??"

Of course, outwardly, he simply walked to the seat of honor, with a confident expression, "Good, tell me about the details of recent events."

"Certainly." Yao Yufei nodded lightly, compared to when she sat there overlooking Chu Xuan with a distant demeanor, she now appeared a lot more respectful and humble, which further puzzled Mr. Chu.

"After Wugen Ping merged into the Celestial Alliance..." Yao Yufei just began when Chu Xuan’s face changed instantly!

"Wait, what are you saying?!"

Yao Yufei raised her head in surprise to look at him, "You didn’t know?"

Chu Xuan awkwardly coughed, "I knew, you continue, continue."

Yao Yufei continued with some confusion, "Just as you said previously, there was a mysterious organization secretly loyal to you, lurking in the shadows of history, waiting for the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable to return."

"I always thought it was some unknown underground group, never expecting it to be one of the three neutral sects, [Wugen Ping]."

"Actually, thinking about it, it makes sense; the predecessor of Wugen Ping was a shady dark organization, after the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable’s death, they gradually came into the open, whitewashing many ’black industries’, becoming entities well-versed in maneuvering between the righteous and evil realms."

"It seems it was something the Master planned long ago, after all, relying solely on loyalty makes it hard for a leaderless organization to survive, only by binding them with interests would they hesitate to jump ship."

"Moreover, after so many years, still being able to maintain such high control over this organization, Master, your strategic skills and astuteness are indeed exceptional, your personal charisma also cannot be underestimated."

"And those hypocrites from the righteous path probably didn’t expect your forces not only didn’t hide away in caution but instead conducted business openly, making this a classic ’under-the-nose’ moment."

Yao Yufei lavishly praised Chu Xuan’s "foresight" and "strategic acumen", unaware of the mixed feelings in his heart.

No, what mysterious organization, it’s something I made up! Did it really turn out to be true??

And Wugen Ping, or rather Lady Yinhe, why did they proceed with merging discussions with Yao Yufei without even informing me??

No, can you show some respect to me as the "Alliance Hierarch"?

Or maybe Lady Yinhe is confident that Chu Xuan wouldn’t refuse, or rather couldn’t refuse, hence she doesn’t mind acting first and reporting later, without fear of him flipping out.

After pondering for a while, Chu Xuan asked, "I’ve been traveling around lately, Wugen Ping did report to me, but I didn’t expect them to act so quickly, when exactly did this happen, who came to negotiate with you?"

"It was half a month ago, the one who came to negotiate was a ’Water without a source’."

"This person seems to be Lady Yinhe’s trusted confidant, holds a high position; during this period, with her help, Wugen Ping’s intelligence network has quickly integrated into our Celestial Alliance’s existing system."

"Right, the ’Water envoy’ also brought a letter personally written by Lady Ping, says it needs to be presented face-to-face to the Master, she’s been waiting for your return all along."

Chu Xuan nodded, "Let her come."

Originally, he wasn’t planning to visit Wugen Ping to see Lady Yinhe, but now things have turned around, others have come to find him.

There’s no avoiding it, Chu Xuan could only meet the envoy.

On the side, Ji Mingyu didn’t look too pleased, already secretly discussing countermeasures with Xiaoxue, because she felt this Yinhe’s actions were so audacious, she must have some support.

Not long after, a woman in a bright yellow dress entered the hall.

She seemed about twenty years old, with a Cyan Scabbard Longsword at her waist, looking quite beautiful, with rare heroic aura in her brows, giving an impression of a gallant spirit.

In terms of demeanor, she bore a certain resemblance to Senior Sister Qin Mengyao, of course, it was the Senior Sister before she fell into evil.

The woman came with a somewhat complex gaze directed at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan was also somewhat surprised, for the woman felt a bit familiar, even though he had no impression of meeting her before.
