287: Tsundere Zhai Ningning

Although the stinky woman in front of him had clearly said such words, Chen Xuan still nodded firmly:

"I am willing, no matter how long the waiting time is, no matter how many obstacles I encounter, I will keep waiting. Because I deeply love Jue'er, and I believe she will return to my side one day."

Qinglan Jade felt a great surge of emotion. She could tell that Chen Xuan truly liked her.

"Alright, well, seeing your devotion, we can make a bet."

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up: "Bet what? Jue'er? She is my woman, and I would never gamble with her!"

The smile on Qinglan Jade's face became even brighter.

"Hmm, I understand. You should first listen to what we're betting on!"

"Fairy, please speak freely."

A mischievous smile played on Qinglan Jade's lips: "The condition is, if you can find Qinglan Jue, I will no longer interfere in your affairs. However, if you cannot find her, or if you two cannot stay together for long, then you must work for me! Of course, I won't deliberately prevent you from meeting; I will give you a chance to see her!"

Chen Xuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Qinglan Jade to propose such a condition. In that case, it definitely wasn't due to Old Ancestor Qing Shan's pressure. Ah, this woman was doing it on purpose!

However, to prevent Qinglan Jade from knowing that he knew Qinglan Jue was Qinglan Jade, Chen Xuan still agreed to Qinglan Jade's condition.

"Alright, I agree! As long as I can't convince Qinglan Jue, I will definitely serve the Fairy, even if it means dying ten thousand times!"

Qinglan Jade blinked, feeling that there was a hidden meaning in Chen Xuan's words.

This young man, he even dares to covet someone with Mahayana Realm cultivation like me. How arrogant!

However, Qinglan Jade was still secretly pleased. After all, she had finally successfully secured an opportunity for herself, an opportunity to have Chen Xuan to herself.

"If there's nothing else, go watch the competition. Stop bothering me." Qinglan Jade waved her hand, dispelling the sound-insulating Formation.

"Farewell!" Chen Xuan bowed and left the high platform.

Qinglan Jade watched Chen Xuan's departing figure, and a strong sense of reluctance rose in her heart, her mood becoming slightly downcast. She had wanted to call out to Chen Xuan, but seeing Old Ancestor Qing Shan by the arena, she refrained from stopping him.

......

After several rounds of fierce battles, Tang Sirui and the others finally defeated Fire Spirit Academy, securing their promotion to the next round.

However, there were some minor incidents.

Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu were a bit upset and launched an all-out attack, but the Cultivators on the field were all of similar Realm. Fire Spirit Academy's final counterattack was also extremely fierce. With Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu leaving the team, they found an opportunity and furiously attacked the Monster Academy's weak points.

That is, Yan Xi and Zhai Ningning.

Although both of them had considerable abilities in their respective Domains, they were still somewhat overwhelmed when surrounded by Cultivators of the same Realm. After failing to parry, they sustained injuries to varying degrees.

Zhai Ningning's Immortal Soul had healing functions, but her healing function seemed somewhat inadequate compared to Chen Xuan, the professional doctor.

After the match, Chen Xuan specifically treated the two of them.

For Yan Xi, he simply gave him a Medicinal Pill and sent him away, but for Zhai Ningning, well, he naturally needed to take a good look.

"Brother Yan Xi, after taking this Medicinal Pill and circulating your Qi for a while, your injuries will visibly alleviate."

"Mm, thank you, little brother!" Yan Xi took the Medicinal Pill and went to find a place to rest.

Then, Chen Xuan looked at Zhai Ningning, hesitating to speak.

This made Zhai Ningning frown. She could clearly feel that Chen Xuan seemed to be trying his best to keep his distance from her, which made her a little annoyed.

I am a Young Miss from a noble and prestigious family, and I don't dislike you. How dare you, a person from the Lower Realm, dislike me first?

It wasn't that she didn't have any healing treasures, but ever since Chen Xuan came out of the Secret Realm, she seemed to constantly find herself secretly looking at him.

Even though his appearance hadn't changed at all, she inexplicably wanted to look at Chen Xuan. It was as if he had some magic, and the more she looked, the more handsome he seemed.

This was like a captivating woman Ascending from the Lower Realm; men would generally not dislike her, but instead, they would revolve around that captivating woman.

Chen Xuan's situation was similar, but the genders were reversed.

No wonder Qing Wu kept running to find him.

Ultimately, Chen Xuan had never offended her. On the contrary, she had initially believed in maintaining a distance between men and women, so she had always acted as if she disliked Chen Xuan. But in reality, she simply disliked every man in the team equally, with the exception of Tang Sirui and Dai Dabai.

But now she found that Chen Xuan didn't care about her dislike at all, and even deliberately distanced himself from her, which immediately made her furious.

A mere person from the Lower Realm, how dare he dislike this Young Miss?! Who gave him the audacity?! Huh?!

"What's wrong? Can't you heal my injury? Your medical skills don't seem to be that great!" Zhai Ningning said with disdain.

Chen Xuan looked at Zhai Ningning's two Protectors (Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu) beside her and sighed.

They're guarding against me like this. Can't there be a little trust between people? And you, Rou Wu, didn't you dislike me at all? Why are you following along now! A woman whose mouth says one thing but her body does another!

"That's not it. I know that Young Miss Zhai's background is noble, and I assume you disdain contact with someone like me, which is why I didn't speak." Chen Xuan said calmly.

Zhai Ningning was surprised to hear Chen Xuan say this.

She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be able to see through her thoughts and speak such words so calmly. This made her feel a hint of curiosity towards Chen Xuan.

"Hmph, at least you're sensible." Zhai Ningning said haughtily, but her tone had softened considerably.

However, Rou Wu, who was behind her, shook her head when she saw this.

Alas, Zhai Ningning is still too young. So Chen Xuan even knows this trick! Why didn't he use it on me? Maybe I could have tricked him then!

"This time, this time, this Young Miss will reluctantly let you examine it!"

"In that case, I shall treat Young Miss Zhai's injuries. Please extend your hand." Chen Xuan said, taking out a thin string.

"What is this?"

"For treating your injuries."

"Why do I need this string for healing?"

Just as Zhai Ningning was lost in thought, Chen Xuan had already handed the thin string to Zhu Zhu, indicating for Zhu Zhu to wrap it around her hand.

Zhai Ningning: "???"

"Oh, this is called 'suspended thread pulse diagnosis.' The purpose is to avoid direct contact with your noble body." Seeing Zhai Ningning's confusion, Chen Xuan casually explained, and at the same time, his expression instantly became impatient.

He didn't need to say anything; just let this woman overthink it.
