41: I have been in this business for so long, all thanks to...

I didn't realize you were from the Xuan Yang Sect! You kept it from me so well!

The young girl pouted and complained to Chen Xuan on the back of the Golden Winged Spirit Beast.

You didn't ask me! If you had asked, I definitely would have told you!

Chen Xuan smiled and patted the young girl's head.

...

After about three hours, the three of them finally arrived at Zhou Capital.

Chen Xuan, come look quickly! That's my home, how is it? Isn't it magnificent?!

Standing on the back of the Golden Winged Spirit Beast, Zhou Jingyi excitedly pulled Chen Xuan and said.

She had never experienced flying in the air since she was little; this was her first time.

Yes, yes, yes, it's beautiful, beautiful, alright!

Chen Xuan replied perfunctorily.

Hmph hmph, let me tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg for my Zhou Family. Our imperial clan all lives in a large Secret Realm! But you won't have the chance to see it!

The young girl tilted her chin up and said proudly.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, leaned his mouth to the young girl's ear, and whispered something.

In an instant, the young girl's cheeks turned incredibly red, even the roots of her ears!

Even Lin Yunhan, who was carrying the two on her back, blushed.

Han Wanqing, oh Han Wanqing, you let your precious Disciple out, and if he returns with a wife, I wonder what your expression will be like. This scene, just thinking about it is interesting!

You, you wish!

A toad wants to eat swan meat!

The young girl pushed Chen Xuan away.

I treat you as a friend, but you, you...!

This is too much!

She secretly glanced at Lin Yunhan, and only after finding no reaction from her did she mumble softly.

If I don't do this, then how can I get into your family's Secret Realm to take a look?

Chen Xuan smiled.

...Anyway, anyway, your idea is rotten, it definitely won't work!

Alright then, from now on, I'll have one more regret.

Soon, the three of them arrived in Zhou Capital. Chen Xuan asked Lin Yunhan to drop him off in the city and not follow them into the imperial palace.

No, Master, please take him into the imperial palace. I haven't properly 'thanked' my good friend for taking care of me all the way!

No need, Senior, I still have unfinished business. I'll take my leave now!

What business could you possibly have? You just want to see my sister, it's not like anyone doesn't know you like her!

Hmm?

Lin Yunhan's gossiping gaze instantly turned cold.

She didn't expect this Junior, whose Cultivation had been crippled, to actually covet her Personal Disciple!

Setting aside whether the two are suitable, just considering their lifespans, Zhou Jingqi is destined to Cultivate to Soul Transformation. At that time, she will have a lifespan of up to 2400 years, while he, with a Qi Refining lifespan of 150 years, how could there possibly be a result!

Therefore, no matter how much Zhou Jingyi pouted and begged, Lin Yunhan remained unmoved, and Chen Xuan successfully stayed in the city.

However, as Zhou Jingyi left, she still threw out a sentence: Just wait, this is my territory. When I find you, I will definitely 'thank' you properly!

Chen Xuan: "..."

If Lin Yunhan hadn't been nearby, he would have definitely held the young girl down and given her a good lesson! To make her remember!

Zhou Capital has already been reached, what should I do next?

Chen Xuan fell into thought.

Originally, he had already planned to go directly to the Zhou Royal Family's Secret Realm and have an 'accidental' 'Spiritual Spring encounter' with Zhou Jingqi, but then Zhao Tianming suddenly appeared halfway, forcing him to consider his next move.

How about... I go undercover?

Chen Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

If he could become 'brothers' with Zhao Tianming, that would be even better! After all, there's a classic saying on Earth:

I've been in this game for so long, all thanks to three things.

Eating inside out!

Betraying brothers!

Taking care of the sister-in-law!

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt a little excited in his heart. After asking for directions, he rushed to the Zhao Family.

...

Zhao Family, Guest Elder Hall.

Young friend, is what you said all true? Are you really Fairy Han's Disciple from the Xuan Yang Sect?

An Elder repeated with uncertainty.

This was too absurd.

Firstly, his Zhao Family was a subject of the Zhou Imperial Dynasty, obeying the Zhou Emperor.

Even at necessary moments, if the monarch wanted his subject to die, he had no choice but to die!

And what was the Xuan Yang Sect?

Although its location was within the territory of Zhou Kingdom, the Sect's strength had long surpassed the Imperial Family by too much, and it was even above the Imperial Family!

And the young man in front of him claimed to be a Core Disciple of a Core Elder of the Xuan Yang Sect, coming to join his Zhao Family, not as a Guest Elder, but to become a live-in son-in-law!

Core Disciples like him could usually reach the Golden Core Stage of Cultivation, and their status was higher than some princes and princesses!

Yet he insisted on coming to the Zhao Family to be a live-in son-in-law!

This was simply... too incredible!

He couldn't help but suspect if someone was targeting his Zhao Family!

Listening to the Zhao Family Elder's words, Chen Xuan directly pulled out his Xuan Yang Sect identification.

Genuine! I think at least in Zhou Kingdom, no one would dare to impersonate a Xuan Yang Sect Core Disciple, right?

Seeing Chen Xuan's identification, the Zhao Family Elder already believed him eighty percent.

No, young friend, you should reconsider! If you fancy any woman from my Zhao Family, you can directly propose it, and we can arrange it for you. Why insist on being a live-in son-in-law?

Alas, that's a long story.

Chen Xuan sighed, then recounted the process of how he lost his Cultivation.

I have nothing left to hope for now. Thinking that I'm still alone, I just want to leave behind a descendant!

This... I'd better go ask the Family Head!

The Zhao Family Elder still dared not be negligent. He cupped his hands towards Chen Xuan and left.

Soon, he returned with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was dressed luxuriously and looked very imposing; he should be Zhao Yi, the Family Head of the Zhao Family.

Young friend, this is my Zhao Family Head, Zhao Yi.

The Zhao Family Elder introduced.

Zhao Yi walked up to Chen Xuan and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Zhao Yi. I have long heard of the great name of the Xuan Yang Sect, but have never had the fortune to meet its outstanding Disciples. Today, I am fortunate to see your true face; it is truly a blessing of three lifetimes."

He dared not be impolite. If this truly was a Core Disciple of the Xuan Yang Sect, although he wouldn't be able to crush his Zhao Family, he could still cause great damage, even if he had lost his Cultivation.

You're too kind, too kind.

Chen Xuan quickly returned the Thank you, he had a good impression of Zhao Yi, at least he didn't suspect his identity like the previous Zhao Family Elder.

May I ask, young friend Chen, what are your plans?

Zhao Yi asked.

He looked at Chen Xuan, also feeling suspicious in his heart, after all, this was the first time he had encountered such an absurd matter.

However, he still held a glimmer of hope. What if this young man was truly a Core Disciple of the Xuan Yang Sect? Then his Zhao Family would be blessed!
