222: Give her to me

“But what does that have to do with me?”

“You…!”

Seeing that Chen Xuan was still unyielding despite all she had said, Xiao Hongmei couldn’t help but step forward and stomp on him a few times.

“So, the soft approach doesn’t work, and you want me to be tough, huh? You must agree today, or else, you won’t be leaving!”

“Uh, actually, the soft approach has its benefits, and the tough approach also has its benefits, but I’m the kind of person who responds to softness, not toughness, so… Sister Xiao, can you be a bit softer with me?”

“???”

“Sigh, when will I be able to not understand things instantly like you!” Chen Xuan shook his head.

“What do you mean?!”

“You people from the Demonic Sect only need to abduct people, but we, the abducted ones, have a lot to consider.”

“…”

Xiao Hongmei suddenly felt that Chen Xuan’s mind was not quite normal, but no matter how abnormal he was, she still needed to relocate the Sect members.

“Later, I will take you to see Holy Lord Yun Xuan. She is a Mahayana expert who is Undergoing Tribulation. You absolutely must not speak to her so casually, do you understand?”

“Undergoing Tribulation? One step away from Mahayana? No, no, that’s too dangerous. If I go, I won’t be able to escape. I’m not going!” Chen Xuan listened, then simply sat down on the ground and refused to get up.

Xiao Hongmei, seeing this, laughed in exasperation.

“Tell me, what do you want to finally come with me?” Looking at Chen Xuan sitting on the ground, she slowly squatted down.

“Ah!”

But the next moment, she let out a surprised cry and was pulled onto his lap by Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan pointed to his face.

Xiao Hongmei’s face flushed red, and she avoided looking at him.

“Since Sister Xiao, you’re not cooperating, then I’ll just take it myself.” Chen Xuan finished speaking and leaned his head forward.

After a long while, Xiao Hongmei finally pulled Chen Xuan along to the place where Holy Lord Yun Xuan was.

“Hongmei, you’re back?” Looking at the two visitors, a captivating woman asked. This person was Holy Lord Yun Xuan.

Holy Lord Yun Xuan’s appearance was incredibly beautiful, with exquisite and peerless features, as if carved. Her clear and bright eyes sparkled like stars, making it impossible to look away.

Her skin was as fair as jade, emitting a faint glow, as if sculpted from the purest white jade, making one unable to resist wanting to look a few more times.

Her figure was also tall and graceful, with elegant curves, dressed in a simple and elegant long dress that accentuated her noble temperament. Her entire being was like a blooming lotus, sacred and beautiful, making people dare not profane her.

“Yes, Holy Lord, this is Chen Xuan, the one I mentioned to you in my message.” Xiao Hongmei replied, her tone filled with respect.

“Chen Xuan?” Yun Xuan looked over, staring directly at Chen Xuan.

“Hmm, not bad. At such a young age, you’ve already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Truly impressive.”

“Senior, you flatter me.” Chen Xuan said humbly.

“Are you willing to join my Thousand Falling Holy Land and become a Disciple of my Sect?” Yun Xuan asked again.

“What will my seniority be if I join the Sect? If the seniority is too low, then I’m not really interested in joining.” Chen Xuan looked at Xiao Hongmei beside him and smiled.

“Chen Xuan, what nonsense are you spouting?!” Xiao Hongmei said anxiously.

“Oh? Then tell me, what seniority do you want?” Holy Lord Yun Xuan didn’t get angry; instead, she asked with interest.

“The same seniority as her will suffice. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy for me to… make a move, right?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongmei immediately pinched Chen Xuan.

“What nonsense are you talking about?! Who told you to… make a move?!”

Yun Xuan, seeing this, was slightly surprised.

“I never thought that our iron-faced, impartial, and cold-hearted Hongmei would have a day like this. No wonder you introduced him to the Sect.”

“It’s not like that, Holy Lord, please listen to me!”

“Alright, alright, you don’t need to say more, I agree. However, the plan regarding the Zhang family must continue. Once we deal with the Zhang family, you won’t have to go out and infiltrate anymore. You can just stay with your good younger brother.”

Yun Xuan waved her hand, signaling for them to leave, but Xiao Hongmei remained still.

“Perhaps you should still listen to me finish.”

“Alright, alright, there’s no getting through to you, girl. Then tell me your story.” A hint of helplessness flashed in Yun Xuan’s eyes.

Subsequently, Xiao Hongmei informed Yun Xuan about Chen Xuan possessing a Secret Realm and also expressed her own thoughts. Yun Xuan’s expression instantly turned serious.

“I never thought, you young man, would have such a wondrous encounter! If this Secret Realm couldn’t be seized, I would have wanted to make a move on you too.” Yun Xuan looked deeply at Chen Xuan.

“Uh, Senior, you flatter me. This junior was merely fortunate.”

“This is not mere fortune; you are a person with great Luck, otherwise you wouldn’t have a portable Secret Realm! However, those with cultivation in our Sect don’t need to enter; only some Mortals need to go in.

But, to entrust all the orphans of our Sect to your hands, I may not be at ease.”

“But Holy Lord, the outside world is besieging us too severely now. They are Mortals and can’t run anywhere!” Xiao Hongmei said anxiously.

“What about him? You blindly trusted him. What if, in the future, he directly sacrifices those orphans in our Sect? Don’t forget, you were also chosen from among the orphans! Even if you go into the Secret Realm to monitor, that place is his territory, and you won’t be his opponent at all, do you understand?”

“I…” Xiao Hongmei was speechless.

“Right! Holy Lord Yun Xuan is absolutely right. To you, I am an unstable factor. It’s best not to do this!” Chen Xuan raised his hand in agreement.

“Therefore, I’ve decided to have Nine Elder personally go, accompanying the orphans into the Secret Realm. With her Undergoing Tribulation Realm strength, I believe she can protect them well.” Yun Xuan said.

Chen Xuan: “…”

“Then I don’t get any benefits?”

“What benefits do you want?”

“Just give her to me.” Chen Xuan pointed at Xiao Hongmei.

“You, what nonsense are you talking about?! If you keep talking nonsense, I, I won’t talk to you anymore!”

“Alright, you can just follow her tonight. I’m too lazy to bother with your two affairs.” Yun Xuan said indifferently.

In her eyes, Xiao Hongmei definitely had some thoughts about Chen Xuan, and since Chen Xuan made this request, it wouldn’t hurt for her to go along with it.

“Thank you, Holy Lord Sister!” Chen Xuan smiled, pulling Xiao Hongmei into his embrace.

Xiao Hongmei was shy and embarrassed, not daring to look at anyone.

“Alright, you two go back and tidy up. We’ll depart early tomorrow morning.”

“Yes!”

Chen Xuan and Xiao Hongmei bowed to Holy Lord Yun Xuan and took their leave, then returned to Xiao Hongmei’s residence.

“I never thought you were such a scoundrel! At the Zhang family, we were all deceived by you!”

“How am I scoundrel? Didn’t Sister Xiao you deceive me first? Now, I’m here to get back a little interest, which must be very reasonable, right?”
