230: Change back to normal!

"I am from the Su Family of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Eighty years ago, I formed a marriage alliance with Xiao Changfeng. These years, I have focused on Cultivation and only had one adopted son. Moreover, he died thirty years ago during an external expedition and did not leave behind any descendants.

The younger generation of the Xiao Family all call me Ancestral Grandmother Su. Coupled with the fact that my adopted son and Xiao Ran's father died around the same time, this led to the rumor that I am her biological grandmother."

"If Xiao Ran were truly my biological granddaughter, how could I stand by and do nothing about her Dantian injury?"

Liu Xuan nodded slightly. The memory fragments from the Puppet Gu proved that everything she said was true.

However... "Even so, what you did was still wrong!"

"I need to properly educate you..."

... "Grandmistress, do you know your mistake now? Don't do that again in the future."

Su Wan's charming eyes were like silk. She avoided Liu Xuan's gaze, nodded slightly, and whispered, "Next time, can you not call me Grandmistress..."

"That won't do!"

Liu Xuan said righteously, "Propriety cannot be abandoned. If I don't call you Grandmistress, what should I call you?"

Su Wan bit her red lips lightly, her cheeks flushed, "You are Changfeng now, and I am your wife..."

Liu Xuan was stunned!

After all that, he had forgotten to remove his disguise and had maintained Xiao Changfeng's appearance the entire time.

"My apologies!"

"I forgot about that."

A flicker of light passed, and Liu Xuan returned to his original appearance. He looked at Su Wan, "Grandmistress, is this alright?"

"No!"

"Don't do this!"

"Quick, change back!"

Su Wan immediately panicked, her voice changing pitch... An hour later.

Su Wan deeply realized her mistake and no longer dared to tempt Liu Xuan.

"Little Xuan, I promise to help you control the Red Pine Sect. Can you let me go?"

Su Wan showed a hint of humility for the first time, her eyes filled with a longing for life.

She knew too many secrets! If it weren't for the concern that her soul lamp extinguishing would cause a stir, and her considerable beauty, she would probably have died long ago.

Even Xiao Changfeng fell into Liu Xuan's hands; he was definitely not a benevolent person!

"What are you saying, Grandmistress?"

"You are my elder. How could I be against you?"

Liu Xuan patted her shoulder, comforting her:

"You can Cultivate here in peace. When the time is ripe, I will let you go."

Su Wan's expression became a little calmer. From the current situation, Liu Xuan might genuinely not care about the few secrets she knew.

"Little Xuan, are you Cultivating the Joyous Union Sect secret art?" She changed the subject.

"Grandmistress noticed? How is this Junior's talent? Is it extraordinary?" Speaking of this, Liu Xuan was very enthusiastic.

Su Wan's face flushed. She was somewhat overwhelmed and quickly changed the subject again, talking about Sect matters.

Liu Xuan told her about his operations in the Sect these past few days. After listening, Su Wan got up, put on her clothes, and sat down at a nearby table.

Then she took out a stack of talismans from her Storage Pouch and used her magical power to write several secret letters and decrees.

After writing, she folded them and handed them to Liu Xuan, "I can remotely control Sect affairs from here. You can tell me anything you need done."

"Isn't Bai Shan on your island? You can just have her communicate from there."

Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Grandmistress is still so thoughtful. We'll do as you say!"

... A few days later.

After confirming Su Wan's sincere allegiance, Liu Xuan had her contact Bai Shan through letters, using this to remotely control the Sect's general affairs.

Without Xiao Changfeng's restrictions, Su Wan could issue various commands without any qualms.

All of Liu Xuan's faction in the Sect, led by Lin Yiyi, were arranged into positions of real power under various pretexts.

At the same time, the news that Immortal Master Xiao had bestowed Senior Sister Xiao Ran in marriage to Liu Xuan spread, and everyone could then understand this series of actions.

"Understand my foot!"

"I refuse to accept this!"

"Senior Sister is pure and unblemished. How can she be defiled by Liu Xuan?!"

"Immortal Master is muddle-headed!!"

The news spread within the Inner Sect, immediately causing a huge uproar, especially among the younger generation of Disciples, creating a significant impact.

Xiao Ran was stunningly beautiful, highly talented, and treated the Sect Disciples well. She could be said to be the dream lover of many.

In their eyes, at least a top Prodigy from the Heavenly Sword Sect could be worthy of Senior Sister; she absolutely could not marry a scoundrel like Liu Xuan.

How could a lecherous person, a farmer's son who rose to power through scheming and flattery, be worthy of Senior Sister, who was like the bright moon in the sky?

"Keep your voice down!"

"Liu Xuan is now a Core Disciple. Be careful not to be heard by the Enforcement Hall, or they might pin a baseless charge on you!"

"What's there to fear?"

"I am a Disciple of the Zhong Family, and I also have a Foundation Establishment Ancestor. I am also an Eighth Layer of Qi Refining Inner Sect Disciple. Can't I say a few words about him?"

The Zhong Family was precisely the Zhong Family of Zhong Yunke, the Hall Master of the Formation Hall, ranking in the upper-middle tier among the Sect's major Foundation Establishment Families.

"Young Master! Clan Chief asks you to return, saying that the Old Ancestor has something to tell you."

"Old... Old Ancestor!"

The person's Aura immediately vanished. He swallowed, and whispered, "Understood, I'll go back right away."

Liu Xuan!

Many Sect Disciples did not know the weight of this name, but many high-ranking officials knew how much power he possessed.

Setting aside Immortal Master Xiao's high regard for him and his various backgrounds, he completely controlled Yongning County and had a Foundation Establishment Dao Companion, Zi Lan, guarding it. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Families dared not provoke him.

The Sect's Foundation Establishment Families dared even less to provoke him. Once Liu Xuan targeted them, with a single word from Immortal Master Xiao, they might have to vacate their positions for him.

The number of Foundation Establishment Family positions in the Sect was limited; if someone came in, someone had to make way.

They were too busy currying favor with Liu Xuan; how could they dare to provoke him actively?

Now, Immortal Master Xiao had even betrothed Xiao Ran, the Xiao Family's pearl, to Liu Xuan as a Concubine, clearly showing his high regard for him. Each family had to be even more cautious in their dealings, fearing that some misunderstanding might lead to hostility between the two sides... Half a month later.

Xiao Ran arrived at White Crane Lake on a cloud-breaking flying boat. Looking at the familiar yet strange scenery below, she was filled with emotion.

"Senior Sister!!"

Zhang Kexin, holding her daughter Spirit Phoenix, rushed to greet her even before the flying boat landed.

Her feelings for Xiao Ran were very deep. If it weren't for her child, she probably would have wanted to follow Senior Sister to explore the world.

"Junior Sister Kexin!"

A smile also appeared on Xiao Ran's face as she looked at the child in her arms, "This must be Spirit Phoenix, right?"

Although they, as sisters, hadn't met many times over the years, their correspondence was quite frequent.

Zhang Kexin had told her about her children and also mentioned that the dragon and phoenix twins both possessed Third-grade Spirit Roots.

"Yes, yes!"

Zhang Kexin pointed at Xiao Ran and said to her daughter, "Quick, say Aunt Xiao!"

"Aunt Xiao!"

Spirit Phoenix called out clearly.

Xiao Ran chuckled, reaching out to tease her, "So well-behaved!"

"Senior Sister, long time no see!"

Liu Xuan also flew to Zhang Kexin's side, smiling as he spoke.

"Long time no see!"

Xiao Ran looked at Liu Xuan, who had an increasingly transcendent and handsome Aura, her expression extremely complex.

Recalling their first meeting in the Alchemy room, he was just a small fry back then. Who would have thought that one day she would become his Concubine?

Liu Xuan also recalled their first meeting. Unlike Xiao Ran, he had felt at the time that he would definitely marry her!
