Chapter 605: Another World-Shaking Insight from Ming Yu

Hehuan Sect, although it had undergone a major battle before, the losses were not too big, mostly injuries rather than fatalities. Some even secretly complained that there weren’t enough deaths—too few openings for positions, hindering their path to advancement.

In short, these women gathered together, as always, enjoyed scheming against each other. After the previous announcement that resonated through the three realms, they began to discuss whether Chu Xuan could possibly be Celestial Evil.

After all, the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable had a fling with their Sect Leader, and if he died, wouldn’t their sect suffer a huge loss?!

Thus, even knowing the possibility was slim, they still indulged in gossip about this topic, and some even planned to suggest to the Sect Leader that, regardless of whether it was true, she should go ahead and crash the wedding next time! Cook the rice until it’s done. ℓ.

It was in this atmosphere that Chu Xuan quietly arrived, absorbing these discussions as he entered. He couldn’t help but shake his head secretly, thinking that the ethos of the Hehuan Sect needed another round of rectification.

Because he carried a Token, he moved unobstructed all the way until he was near the Taixu Hall. There, a figure in a flaming red gown with a seductive temperament and stunning figure, Xi Hongzhuang, approached him on her own, gracefully saluting, “Greetings, Demon Venerable.”

Chu Xuan waved his hand, “Don’t call me that from now on. The Celestial Evil Demon Venerable is thoroughly dead. Just call me Chu Xuan.”

“Yes, Young Master Chu,” Xi Hongzhuang replied, affectionately linking her arm with his, her two soft mounds suddenly engulfing his arm.

“Our Sect Leader has been restless recently, longing for your arrival. Let me take you inside,” she said.

Chu Xuan felt a bit uncomfortable, attempting to free his arm. “Don’t be like this. I’m about to be a married man; it’s not good to be entangled with unfamiliar women.”

Xi Hongzhuang chuckled stealthily, “Young Master Chu, this isn’t the first time. Moreover, I haven’t done anything at all~”

Seeing Taixu Hall drawing near, Chu Xuan shook his head and stopped resisting, letting Xi Hongzhuang lead him into the great hall.

Chen Yunqi was sitting firmly at the top, propping her chin with her right hand, and her elegant, soft face was somewhat lazy:

“Don’t listen to that sneaky girl’s nonsense. She is dead set on having me cling tightly to your mighty thigh. Just now, she was working on my mindset, saying I should fight more, claiming opportunities are seized by oneself.”

“I told her to do it herself, and she said, ‘He couldn’t possibly be interested in me.’ Now look at her flattering demeanor; she desperately wishes she could crawl into your bed at night.”

Xi Hongzhuang felt somewhat aggrieved, “Good sister, I’m wholeheartedly looking out for you. How could you denigrate me like this?”

Chen Yunqi replied bluntly, “What, was I lying?”

Chu Xuan found it somewhat amusing. He patted Xi Hongzhuang’s small hand, “You should leave first. I have some things to discuss with your Sect Leader.”

Xi Hongzhuang gave him a glance filled with resentment but obediently released his hand, bowed, and withdrew.

…

Truth be told, upon hearing the news of Chu Xuan’s death, Chen Yunqi indeed felt quite sad for a while. But later when she heard he died but came back to life, she felt somewhat speechless. How many times has this happened already?

She didn’t compete with other women, instead, she directly returned to her own place, partly to fulfill old promises to Chu Xuan and partly to avoid Yao Yufei flaunting before her.

I mean, the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable is gone, and the Celestial Alliance should be disbanded. Yet, she kept bossing around like a superior, who does she think she is?

However, what Chen Yunqi didn’t expect was that Chu Xuan actually came to find her specifically. At this time, shouldn’t he be tangled up with seven or eight women?

Not to mention he had just been awarded by the Heavenly Court and announced to the three realms—surely those who want to see him are as numerous as fish swimming across a river.

Thus, when the hall doors closed, Chen Yunqi straightened up, looking solemn, “Oh, look who’s here, our great savior hero. How did you find time to think of me, the abandoned wife?”

Chu Xuan shook his head and walked forward, “What abandoned wife, don’t say it so harshly.”

Seeing him reach out to embrace her, Chen Yunqi immediately stood up to block him, “Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. What’s Young Master Chu trying to do?”

Chu Xuan was speechless, “You’re playing this game of ‘advance and retreat’ again?”

Chen Yunqi shook her head, seriously, “Back then, you said our dual cultivation was merely a transaction, each getting what we needed. Now that the deal is done, isn’t this ambiguous entanglement inappropriate?”

Hearing this, Chu Xuan showed a moved expression, “I was just afraid you wouldn’t let go. Since you’re so reasonable, I’ll take my leave now.”

Afterward, without further ado, he turned to leave. But as soon as he reached the hall doors, before opening them, he heard sobbing behind him, leaving Chu Xuan a bit speechless.

The reason for his visit was simple. As Chen Yunqi didn’t go to Dao Palace for the merriment, it left him with a favorable impression and concern.

Knowing he would soon be preoccupied with wedding preparations, likely unable to see her for a long time, he’d intended to come over, hug her, offer some comfort, and then leave.

But she didn’t even want a hug, and now that he’s truly leaving, she’s crying over there. Sometimes women indeed can be quite troublesome creatures.

Luckily, Chu Xuan is seasoned and able to understand Chen Yunqi’s subtle mindset, so he didn’t just leave but returned to her side, sitting down with her in his arms.

Chen Yunqi struggled a bit, but it was just for show. Soon she was hugging him, lying in his arms with a grievance, lamenting:

“I knew it. In your eyes, I’m just a tool for elevating your cultivation. Now your great revenge is fulfilled, you no longer need me, and you just kick me aside like some ‘medicine dregs’.
