20: Zhou Waner's initiative

Han Wanqing searched the Sect but couldn't find Chen Xuan.

"Don't you know you're not allowed to go out when I'm in seclusion? When you come back, just wait until I properly deal with you and make you wash my feet ten thousand times!" She muttered to herself, pouting.

Finally, she found Lin Mei, a Junior Martial Niece who had always been very close to Chen Xuan.

"Junior Martial Uncle, Chen Xuan Junior Brother already left the Sect, didn't you know?"

"Left the Sect? Why? Did someone bribe him?"

"He, his Spiritual Root was destroyed when he was doing Alchemy! He became a cripple after that, so he just left the Sect."

"Then where did he go?"

"I, I don't know either..."

"Don't think I don't know; you're Chen Xuan's little sweetheart. How could he not tell you where he went?"

At this, Lin Mei's face flushed.

"Junior Martial Uncle, don't misunderstand, Chen Xuan Junior Brother and I aren't what you think! He, he left on his own; I didn't see him!"

Lin Mei indeed hadn't seen Chen Xuan, but only because she had refused to meet him after learning he was a cripple.

"Got it."

Before Lin Mei could react, Han Wanqing's figure had already vanished, and no one knew where she had gone.

...

The next day, after Qin Feng's self-sacrificing actions, he finally got to see Liu Yanxin as he wished.

Liu Yanxin was also surprised to see Qin Feng, not expecting that a perfectly fine person like Qin Feng would become so haggard after just one night in the Wang family's dungeon!

At this moment, Qin Feng's eyes were sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had aged ten years overnight. His originally tall and straight body now appeared somewhat hunched.

However, as she looked at the miserable Qin Feng, her heart felt no fluctuation.

"Qin Feng, what happened to you? Weren't you fine yesterday?" Out of politeness, Liu Yanxin still asked.

Qin Feng had been tormented and beaten all night. Now, looking at his concerned fiancée, he was incredibly moved. Remembering how he had previously suspected Liu Yanxin of being with Chen Xuan, he truly wanted to slap himself twice!

"Alas, Yanxin, you know what kind of people the Wang family are. I just won the competition against them, and they held a grudge and tormented me terribly."

"Is that so? The Wang family people are usually quite friendly!" Liu Yanxin said.

"Alas, you can know a person's face but not their heart!"

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "However, I will resolve this matter myself; you don't need to worry about me."

Although his heart was filled with rage, he still chose to endure such a shameful matter. He knew that only by enduring could he have a chance to turn things around. (Endurance) (Picture)

"Alright, did you come to find me for something, or are you asking me to find a way to get you out? I don't have that ability!"

"No, no, I wanted you to help me deliver a message to Chen Xuan."

As soon as Qin Feng mentioned Chen Xuan, Liu Yanxin became interested.

"What message do you want to give to Chen Xuan Senior Brother?"

"Tell him, he absolutely must not go looking for my Revered Master! I can find a way to get out myself!"

"What way do you have?"

"You don't need to worry about that, Yanxin. Oh, and there are some Cultivation resources under the floor in my room; you can take them!"

"No need, you keep them. I'll pass on the message. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." With that, she left the dungeon.

Somehow, she now felt a bit resistant to Qin Feng's things.

"Yanxin is truly beautiful and kind-hearted. To be able to marry her, I must have had smoke rising from my ancestral grave!" Qin Feng sighed as he watched Liu Yanxin leave.

Then he prepared himself to receive the second wave of powerful energy infusion, which he had promised the guards.

...

"Oh? It's Yanxin. I haven't seen you here in a long time. Do you have any questions about Cultivation?"

As soon as Liu Yanxin entered, she saw Jin Ruoyan sitting on Chen Xuan's lap, peeling grapes for him. They looked like a perfect match, very intimate.

She frowned slightly. Although she already knew that Chen Xuan and Jin Ruoyan were already a married couple, seeing them so intimate in person inexplicably made her a little displeased.

"No, not really. Qin Feng asked me to deliver a message to you."

"Don't worry, I'm already contacting..."

"No, Qin Feng told me not to let you contact Revered Master Han! He said he could get out himself and didn't need to alarm her."

"Is that so? Since he said so, I'll believe him this once. But if he can't get out for a long time, I'll still have to rescue him!"

"Mm-hmm." After saying that, Liu Yanxin wanted to leave, but Jin Ruoyan took her hand.

"Yanxin, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Why don't you sleep here tonight? I have so much to tell you!"

As soon as Jin Ruoyan said this, Liu Yanxin's face instantly flushed. She remembered her good friend's elegant singing that night.

"Alright."

...

"Alright, Zhao Consort, this week's treatment is over. Next week, I might have some matters and won't be able to come. I will explain this to Zhao City Lord." Chen Xuan said with difficulty.

"Didn't I say not to call me Zhao Consort here? It sounds terrible." Zhou Wan'er pouted.

"Alright, Consort."

"That's better~ But what's the matter that you won't even come to my side?"

Chen Xuan broke into a sweat. This Zhou Wan'er was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. What kind of aggressive words was she saying? He swore to heaven that he hadn't done anything to her!

"Cough cough, I need to go into seclusion temporarily. It won't be for long."

"You want to go into the Secret Realm, right?" Zhou Wan'er directly exposed him.

Chen Xuan was stunned. How did Zhou Wan'er know?

"What Secret Realm? I'm at the Golden Core Stage; how can I enter a Secret Realm!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone! But I really didn't expect that you're not at the Golden Core Stage!" Zhou Wan'er said with certainty.

"How did the Consort figure that out?" Chen Xuan wasn't worried, after all, Zhou Wan'er was in the same boat as him.

And she was becoming more and more audacious with him. From being cautious and afraid he would devour her at first, it had turned into him defending, and her doing all sorts of... herself!

"Come here!" Zhou Wan'er beckoned to Chen Xuan.

Looking at the defenseless Zhou Wan'er, Chen Xuan calmed down.

This woman was truly getting better at manipulating him. Didn't she know that if he really got angry, something bad would happen to her?

Zhou Wan'er also saw Chen Xuan's awkwardness and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. It seemed her charm was still great; Chen Xuan already had two beautiful wives, and he still got infatuated!

In the end, Chen Xuan still approached Zhou Wan'er. She was nothing more than a Mortal; what threat could she pose to him?
