431: Meeting, fighting spirit surges

“Holy cow, it really is them?!” This time, it was Chen Xuan’s turn to be shocked.

“Could it be… you know them?” Dong Li asked.

“Don’t say it, you really shouldn’t say it…”,

“When I left, I already had the idea of finding Qinglan Jade. I didn’t expect her to deliver herself to me now. If I don’t make a move, it would be a bit unreasonable.”

“What do you want to do?” Dong Li asked curiously.

“You mean, Old Ancestor Qingshan went to discuss the Dao with your Grand Elder, right?” Chen Xuan didn’t answer Dong Li’s question; instead, he confirmed this piece of news.

“Yes, is there a problem? Do you want to see him? I can take you there!”

“No, no, I can go out alone.”

With that, Chen Xuan put Dong Li down, got up, and left the Immortal Cave.

…

Qinglan Fairy was not Cultivating at this moment. Her true intention was simply to find someone. Seclusion took too much time, so for now, she could only wait for Old Ancestor Qingshan to Ascend first.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Qinglan Jade sat lightly on the chair. Before her bottom had even settled, a crisp and urgent knocking sound suddenly rang out.

“Oh dear, didn’t I specifically instruct Dong Li to choose a quiet and peaceful place for me? I’ve only just sat down, how could someone already be disturbing me?”

Muttering softly, Qinglan Jade was displeased but still slowly got up, her lotus steps moving lightly as she walked to the door, reaching out to gently pull it open.

However, the moment the door opened, Qinglan Jade froze, her beautiful eyes wide, her face filled with an expression of disbelief.

She had never imagined that the person she had painstakingly searched for for so long would now be standing before her, so vividly and radiantly alive!

“You… Husband!” Qinglan Jade blurted out uncontrollably, her voice trembling with a hint of surprise.

“Hmm? You’re Jue’er, my Jue’er?! This is wonderful!” Chen Xuan’s usually calm face suddenly showed an extreme look of “surprise.” He strode forward and tightly embraced Qinglan Jade.

“I…” Qinglan Jade was somewhat flustered by the sudden embrace. She wanted to say something but found her throat seemingly blocked, unable to make a sound.

“I’ve been feeling uneasy all this time, thinking that if Qinglan Fairy could come, I could inquire about your whereabouts from her. I never thought you would come along as well; this is truly wonderful! Jue’er, I never want to be separated from you again!”

Chen Xuan was so excited that he was incoherent, giving Qinglan Jade no chance to interject. Before his words had even finished, he had already bent down and swept Qinglan Jade up into his arms, excitedly spinning around in the courtyard like a child.

But at this moment, Qinglan Jade’s heart was a mix of emotions, joy and entanglement intertwined.

On one hand, she was genuinely happy to see that she had successfully met the person she had longed for day and night; however, on the other hand, the issue of her identity made her feel suffocated.

One must know that the so-called “Qinglan Jue” was a completely fictitious person, entirely made up by her on the spur of the moment.

All of this was nothing more than a meticulously woven deception. But now, facing Chen Xuan’s eyes, filled with love and longing, she truly didn’t know how to continue this lie.

Every lie she told was like adding a thread to this web of deceit, tightening it more and more until she couldn’t break free.

If Chen Xuan were to discover the truth one day, the consequences would be unimaginable. How would he view her? Anger, disappointment, or disdain? These possible reactions flashed like nightmares in Qinglan Jade’s mind, making her heart increasingly flustered and uneasy.

“Jue’er, quickly tell your Husband properly, what have you been busy with for over a year!”

Chen Xuan’s face was filled with joy. He tightly held Qinglan Jade in his arms and quickly walked into the inner room, then slowly placed her beside him.

At this moment, Qinglan Jade’s heart was a mix of emotions.

But upon hearing Chen Xuan’s words, she first paused slightly, then pouted her small mouth and said coquettishly:

“Me? Hmph! For over a year, I’ve been searching for your whereabouts every moment, but no matter how hard I looked, I never saw you. You heartless fellow, you clearly knew my location was the Qinglan Family, so why did you delay coming to find me?!”

Qinglan Jade stared at Chen Xuan, her small canine teeth showing. If Chen Xuan’s answer wasn’t satisfactory, she was ready to bite him.

Originally, she still had some unease and hesitation in her heart, but when she thought about how long she had been searching for Chen Xuan while he was happily living in Feixian Sect, the long-hidden grievance in her heart was instantly ignited. The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and unknowingly, tears began to fall.

It is well known that Chen Xuan is a man who cannot bear to see women cry. As soon as a woman cries, he himself becomes filled with Battle Intent.

“Sigh, my precious Jue’er, you don’t know. Ever since your Husband left you, because of my Qi Luck Peach Blossom, I’ve been forced to live all sorts of wandering and tumultuous lives!”

“You don’t know how much I’ve missed you during all this time apart!”
