41: Chapter 41 What do you want? I'm leaving now.

"I told you, you are no match for me. And I also said that Abbess Miejue still has her charm! I have admired you greatly since my time overseas." Lu Chen said calmly, looking at Abbess Miejue.

"I don't believe it! I will kill you, you scoundrel who humiliated me!" Abbess Miejue roared, brandishing her horsetail whisk, and attacked Lu Chen again.

Lu Chen shook his head, his figure flashed, and he arrived behind Abbess Miejue once more.

He gave a gentle tug, and the horsetail whisk in Abbess Miejue's hand slipped out of her grasp again.

"Abbess, the matter of you returning to secular life can be discussed." Lu Chen said with a smile, looking at Abbess Miejue.

Abbess Miejue glared at Lu Chen, her eyes full of unwillingness, "You... you shameless scoundrel!"

"Hey, Abbess, that's not fair. I'm giving you Face." Lu Chen sighed helplessly and said, "If you keep shouting, I can't guarantee what might happen."

Abbess Miejue's expression changed upon hearing this. She glanced at her surroundings.

She suddenly remembered that she and Lu Chen were not the only two people here.

There was a group of Disciples downstairs.

She struggled a bit, but still couldn't break free.

Helplessly, she lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of threat, "You... what exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? Don't you already know?" Lu Chen smiled slightly and slowly lowered his head.

...

...

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Chen helped Abbess Miejue to a chair and sat her down. Although he didn't seal her acupoints, Abbess Miejue was now obedient.

Abbess Miejue's Face was flushed, and her eyes were swirling with emotion, clearly still unable to recover from everything that had just happened.

Lu Chen walked over to the counter and picked up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He prepared to write down the Nine Yang Manual he had created by Fusion of the Wudang and Emei versions.

Lu Chen picked up the brush and wrote the first character on the paper.

The handwriting was crooked, almost like ghost runes.

"Ding! Ten-Thousand-Fold Increase for calligraphy skills!"

Lu Chen ignored the prompt in his mind and continued to write the second character.

The second character was slightly better than the first, but still not good-looking.

"Ding! Ten-Thousand-Fold Increase for calligraphy skills!"

The third character already had some structure and was barely presentable.

"Ding! Ten-Thousand-Fold Increase for calligraphy skills!"

...

By the time the tenth character was written, the characters under Lu Chen's brush were already like those of a calligraphy master, a perfect small regular script leaping onto the paper.

He handed the completed Nine Yang Manual to Abbess Miejue.

Abbess Miejue looked at the Cultivation Technique in her hand, her eyes filled with shock.

"You rascal, why were your first characters so ugly, but later they became so beautiful?" Abbess Miejue asked suspiciously.

Lu Chen shrugged and said indifferently, "Because I have never used a brush before; this was my first time."

"You... you actually used a brush for the first time?!" Abbess Miejue widened her eyes, looking incredulous, "How is this possible? How could these characters improve so quickly?"

She looked closely at the Cultivation Technique in her hand again.

This Cultivation Technique was actually different from the Emei Nine Yang Technique she had learned, and it was even very different from the Nine Yang Manual she had just heard.

"What exactly is this Cultivation Technique?" Abbess Miejue asked suspiciously.

"It's an upgraded version formed after I performed a Fusion of your Emei Nine Yang Technique and my Nine Yang Manual." Lu Chen said with a smile, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

"You... you are not human!" Abbess Miejue looked at Lu Chen, her eyes full of shock, "You are definitely not human. In such a short time, how could you remember all the content, and even be able to integrate it to form a new Cultivation Technique?"

"Abbess, why do you say that? How am I not human?" Lu Chen said with a smile, "This is a token of my sincerity. You must keep it well and practice diligently in the future; you will surely achieve success."

"I have been so sincere, so about the matter of you returning to secular life..." Lu Chen said with a smile, looking at Abbess Miejue.

"No!" Abbess Miejue shook her head hurriedly upon hearing this, and said coyly, "My Disciples are all downstairs..."

"I don't care." Lu Chen laughed, "I still want to take another step, get a little taste of sweetness first."

"Ugh..." Abbess Miejue exclaimed. Before she could react, she was hugged by Lu Chen.

Abbess Miejue's body softened, and she leaned into Lu Chen's arms, her pretty Face flushed, her breathing rapid.

The precious Nine Yang Manual written on the ledger also slipped from her hand, falling to the ground with a "thud."

Lu Chen looked at the beauty in his arms, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.

...

...

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Lu Chen said calmly: "Abbess, the matter of returning to secular life is settled. From now on, the Emei Sect will consist of secular Disciples."

"You... you wretch!" Abbess Miejue glared at Lu Chen with feigned anger, but her tone was soft and powerless.

Her pretty Face flushed again, and she nodded gently without refuting.

"You must never reveal the secret of the heaven-reliant sword and the Dragon saber." Abbess Miejue said with a serious tone, looking at Lu Chen.

"Naturally, I will keep my word." Lu Chen said firmly, looking at Abbess Miejue.

"Then, can you tell me who harmed my Senior Brother?" Abbess Miejue continued to ask, her eyes full of hatred.

"One thing at a time." Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, looked at Abbess Miejue, and said with a smile, "You keep thinking about your Senior Brother, I am very sad."

"I just want to avenge him!" Abbess Miejue said with feigned anger, "You wretch, you bully me like this, what else can I do?"

"When I capture the person who harmed your Senior Brother, will our engagement stand?" Lu Chen asked with a smile, looking at Abbess Miejue.

"Since I have promised you, I will not go back on my word." Abbess Miejue said seriously, looking at Lu Chen.

"Good!" Lu Chen laughed loudly upon hearing this, "When I catch the person who harmed your Senior Brother and take back the heaven-reliant sword, you will announce to the world that we have formed a marriage alliance."

Abbess Miejue's pretty Face flushed upon hearing this. She glared at Lu Chen coyly and said in a low voice: "I am already over forty, you are a young man with high martial arts, why set your heart on me?"

"After you practice this Nine Yang Manual, you will probably be even younger than your Disciples." Lu Chen said with a smile, looking at Abbess Miejue, "Age has never been a distance."

"Alright then." Abbess Miejue nodded helplessly upon hearing this, "As long as you keep your word, I will keep mine."

...

...

A long time later.

Abbess Miejue pushed Lu Chen away, her tone carrying a hint of feigned anger, "That won't do. You haven't accomplished it yet, and this engagement isn't even formal, how can I let you..."

"I'm just going to collect some interest, have a taste of sweetness, otherwise how would I have the motivation to search for that heaven-reliant sword." Lu Chen said with a smile, looking at Abbess Miejue.

"Alright, you wretch..." Abbess Miejue looked at Lu Chen and said helplessly.

"Hahaha..." Lu Chen laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"What are you laughing at?" Abbess Miejue glared at Lu Chen with feigned anger.

"I'm happy!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "Abbess, you are really cute!"

"You... you!" Abbess Miejue's pretty Face flushed, and she glared at Lu Chen coyly.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Lu Chen said with a smile, "Abbess, I'm leaving now, see you tonight."

"See you tonight..." Abbess Miejue looked at Lu Chen and said in a low voice, her voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

Lu Chen smiled, turned and went out the window to the backyard, mounted his horse, and rode away.

Abbess Miejue looked at Lu Chen's retreating figure, her eyes full of complex emotions.

She slowly bent down, picked up the Nine Yang Manual Secret Manual from the ground, and held it tightly in her arms.

"This little wretch... Senior Brother, I hope you don't blame me. This is all for the glory of Emei!" Abbess Miejue said softly, her eyes full of tenderness.
