292: Yugang's doubts
Seeing Chen Xuan engrossed in his book, Yu Gang couldn't help but cough.
"Ahem, Chen Xuan, your Master asks you, how often can you produce a Life Peach Blossom? If possible, I'd like your Master's wife, Dragon YuYan, to also take one."
After Yu Gang finished speaking, he looked at Dragon YuYan with deep affection, the fervor in his eyes self-evident.
The more he looked at his woman, the more beautiful she seemed, as if she had returned to her maidenhood, looking fresh and vibrant. He had never had any thoughts about her before, but now...
But Dragon YuYan only felt disgusted at this moment.
She was no longer her former self; everything she had now was not her own, but... Chen Xuan's.
Chen Xuan could naturally see this.
He rolled his eyes and chuckled:
"Master, this batch of Life Peach Blossom, your Disciple can only produce one per day. While you were in secluded Cultivation, I already let Master's wife try it. Her Cultivation is high, and she absorbed it completely in an instant."
Indeed, Dragon YuYan absorbed it very quickly. However, this batch of Life Peach Blossom might have gained sentience, and she might eventually spit it out.
Yu Gang's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom upon hearing this.
Chen Xuan offering it willingly and him making Chen Xuan give it were two different matters.
"Hmm, if that's the case, then I won't ask anything of you. However, if you need any help, just speak up. Your Master and your Master's wife will definitely assist you with all our might!"
Chen Xuan thought for a moment, lowered his head, and smiled without speaking.
Help was indeed needed, but he only needed Yu Gang's support from the sidelines.
"Thank you, Master! If your Disciple has any needs, I will definitely seek your guidance."
Yu Gang smiled contentedly, then looked at Dragon YuYan: "Yuyan, how is your Cultivation recently? Have you encountered any Bottlenecks?"
Dragon YuYan nodded slightly: "There were some Bottlenecks, but I have overcome them. After the academy competition ends, I will choose to go into secluded Cultivation and Breakthrough to a new Realm."
"So that's it. This is a good thing, but I'll have to suffer the pain of lovesickness again!" Yu Gang sighed.
"The Dao of Cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. Plus, you've gained a lot of Lifespan, so how can we care about these trivial moments? If you act like this, Chen Xuan will laugh at you!"
"He wouldn't dare!"
At this point, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yu Gang's eyes. What was Chen Xuan? How dare he laugh at me? Once my true Disciple, San'er, is fully fledged, that will be the beginning of you, Chen Xuan, working like an ox!
Seeing this, Chen Xuan sneered inwardly. This Yu Gang was a selfish, arrogant person who couldn't hide his thoughts, no wonder he was still a level 30 trash at the end of the story.
"Your Disciple certainly wouldn't dare. It's almost time now, I think we should go to the competition venue to watch."
"Hmm, it's time to go out. The conflict within your team hasn't been completely resolved yet. Alas, what a troublesome matter!"
"Then your Disciple won't bother you further, farewell! Also, you look a bit haggard, Master's wife. You should pay attention to rest recently and not overexert yourself with Cultivation." Chen Xuan advised with concern.
"Hmm, I'll pay attention~" Dragon YuYan's tone was doting.
Yu Gang frowned upon seeing this scene. He always felt that there was something unusual between Chen Xuan and Dragon YuYan, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
"Alright, then I'll leave first."
......
"Chen Xuan! Over here, over here! Why did you come out from the direction of Master's house!"
As soon as Chen Xuan arrived at the competition plaza, Zhai Ningning waved at him.
Because she and Yan Xi were the first to be injured, in the subsequent matches, all teams would focus their attacks on the two of them. Even with Yan Xi, the sycophant, shielding her, she would still inevitably get injured. At this time, Chen Xuan would automatically appear.
Through this back and forth, the relationship between Chen Xuan and Zhai Ningning became increasingly harmonious. Zhai Ningning even began to actively speak to Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan was very cooperative, their unspoken understanding growing stronger.
Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu naturally also gradually noticed Zhai Ningning's change.
They even found that the longer they interacted, the more Zhai Ningning liked Chen Xuan, even surpassing the relationship of ordinary teammates. She would often stick to Chen Xuan for no reason.
For Zhu Zhu, this was not good news. Chen Xuan already had many people in his family, and now with this Young Miss, the competition was still too great.
Rou Wu, on the other hand, felt much more relaxed. With a clingy person following Chen Xuan, she would be hit less by him.
However, even with Zhai Ningning acting this way, the two girls didn't say much. After all, such matters couldn't be forced, and they only hoped that Zhai Ningning and Chen Xuan could handle it themselves.
"Yesterday, I had a sudden insight, so I went to Master's wife for some guidance!" Chen Xuan replied with a smile.
"So that's it. Then, do you have confidence in a Breakthrough?"
"Actually, I've already had a Breakthrough, and it's all thanks to Master's wife."
Yes, the one who had a Breakthrough was Dragon YuYan; she was truly broken.
'Thanks to Master's wife?'
Rou Wu frowned and walked closer to Chen Xuan, sniffing with her small rabbit nose. She immediately caught a familiar mixed scent and gave Chen Xuan a glare.
How bold! He even dared to do it in Yu Gang's house. Next, is he going to visit Tang Sirui brother?
At this thought, a hint of fear suddenly appeared on Rou Wu's face, as well as... something else?
"That's great! Chen Xuan, you're truly a Genius!" Zhai Ningning said happily.
Hmm, as long as Chen Xuan wasn't useless, the family would...
Watching the two in front talking and laughing, Yan Xi's face was very gloomy.
He didn't quite understand. Zhai Ningning clearly despised Chen Xuan so much at first, even to the point of being disgusted by contact! How did her personality completely change after Chen Xuan healed her once? And she would curse him and disdain him for no reason?
He couldn't help but suspect if Chen Xuan had given Zhai Ningning some kind of medicine to make her the way she was now.
Soon, Chen Xuan and Zhai Ningning and the others walked into the arena, chatting and laughing. At this time, many people had already gathered in the arena, all waiting for the competition to begin.
Yan Xi looked at Chen Xuan and Zhai Ningning's intimate appearance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He knew that if he didn't take action soon, Zhai Ningning would very likely be taken by Chen Xuan.
But Zhai Ningning, whom he regarded as a Heavenly Immortal, had specifically told him not to appear near her and Chen Xuan. This was truly... too painful!
"No, I absolutely cannot sit by and watch Ningning be taken by another man, absolutely not!"
At this thought, a plan suddenly arose in Yan Xi's mind.
So, he looked at Tang Sirui and Dai Dabai, who were afraid to speak due to Qing Wu and Zhu Zhu's argument, and finally focused his gaze on Tang Sirui.
