550: Dislike me? Then I'll just have to find my sister-in-law.

“Alright, alright, Uncle, I’ve accepted your gift. I’ll study it when I have time. Now… now your elder brother isn’t home…”

As Xia Chuwei spoke, she distanced herself from Chen Xuan.

Although she hadn't refused Chen Xuan's actions just now, it felt a bit too intimate for her at the moment.

This was only the first time she had met Chen Xuan!

“Okay, Elder Brother is currently working, so I’ll go find him then. Sister-in-law, farewell!” Seeing this, Chen Xuan naturally understood Xia Chuwei’s meaning.

Afterward, Chen Xuan slowly stood up and bowed slightly to Xia Chuwei as a farewell.

Xia Chuwei also quickly stood up, her lotus-like steps carrying her to the door, personally seeing Chen Xuan off to the Underworld Valley entrance.

At this moment, the sunlight fell perfectly on both of them, casting their slender silhouettes.

Xia Chuwei gently tidied the strands of hair on her forehead that had been disheveled by the wind, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Xuan, a spring-like smile blooming on her face as she softly said, “Uncle, if you’re free in the future, you must come often to visit your Sister-in-law.”

Chen Xuan looked at the gentle and charming woman before him, his heart stirred, but he quickly regained his composure, smiling and nodding in response:

“Thank you for Sister-in-law’s kind invitation. In the future, this younger brother will certainly visit again.” With that, he turned and gradually walked away.

It was only when Chen Xuan’s gradually receding figure disappeared from sight that Xia Chuwei withdrew her gaze.

Recalling the time she had just spent with Chen Xuan, a faint smile involuntarily reappeared on her lips. A moment later, however, a hint of melancholy welled up in her heart.

“I… why do I feel melancholy?” Xia Chuwei suddenly realized.

“No way, the first time I saw Uncle, my heart couldn’t stop pounding. Could I really be…” She murmured to herself, her cheeks flushed, as delicate and vibrant as a ripe apple.

After thinking for a while, Xia Chuwei gently sighed.

However, when Chen Xuan’s handsome face and gentle smile appeared in her mind, her mood seemed to brighten again.

“Perhaps, this is also a kind of fate… but I definitely still can’t do some…”

…

“Hmm… Yu Guili is currently in the ascending period of his career, busy all day long!”

“In that case, even if he and Xia Chuwei are under the same roof, the time they can see each other each day is very limited. This is good news.”

On the way to the palace, Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

“Since you, Yu Guili, have no time to accompany Sister-in-law, then the void in Sister-in-law’s heart can only be filled by me… Hehehe.”

Soon, after leaving Underworld Valley, Chen Xuan headed to the Commander’s Palace where Yu Guili was located.

“Elder Brother! When you came here, why didn’t you call me, your younger brother? You made me search for a long time!”

“You came late yourself, and you still have the nerve to blame me!” Seeing Chen Xuan arrive, Yu Guili unconsciously frowned.

To be honest, he truly disliked this newcomer named Chen Xuan from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t know why, but he just felt an inexplicable aversion towards him.

“Uh, well, I didn’t know the situation, and just now I did specifically go to your house to look for you, but I found you weren’t there, so I rushed over here.”

Hearing this, Yu Guili couldn't help but frown and demand, “You actually went to my house? Who allowed you to do that? What did you go there for?”

“Hehe, I, your younger brother, accidentally obtained a rare treasure, so I specially rushed to present it to you.”

However, Yu Guili snorted disdainfully, his face full of scorn: “What good treasure could a mere Peak True Immortal like you have? What you call a supreme treasure in your eyes, to me, is nothing more than some low-grade junk!”

In truth, if it weren't for the Space Immortal’s directive, someone of Yu Guili’s noble status would never be willing to waste words on a small fry like Chen Xuan.

“Alright then…”

Immediately after, Yu Guili changed his expression and impatiently urged, “Stop blabbering, quickly tell me, what kind of treasure are you planning to give me? Hurry up and take it out for me to see!”

“That… that thing I already gave to Sister-in-law before!”

“You gave it to Chu Wei, huh? Alright, then you’re dismissed. Go back and Cultivate. You are only in the True Immortal Realm now. Come back to my grand hall when you Breakthrough to the Tianxian Realm!”

After speaking, Yu Guili waved his hand, dismissing Chen Xuan.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't dawdle and directly left the palace.

“What a dog, wanting to have his cake and eat it too. He clearly despises it, but then immediately asks me for a treasure. Damn it, he doesn’t even bother to act!”

“You want me to Breakthrough to the Tianxian Realm, right? Fine, then I’ll take this opportunity to ask my good ‘Sister-in-law’ for more guidance!”

The next day, after Chen Xuan returned from Leng Ruoyun's place, he headed straight to Underworld Valley.

Upon reaching Underworld Valley, he skillfully made his way to Yu Guili’s residence.

At this moment, Xia Chuwei was admiring flowers in the courtyard. Seeing Chen Xuan again, she was slightly surprised: “Uncle, why have you come again today?”

Chen Xuan wore a wronged expression, stepping forward and bowing slightly, saying, “Sister-in-law, this younger brother is truly at his wit’s end, which is why I’ve come to bother Sister-in-law again.” Seeing his troubled expression, Xia Chuwei asked with concern, “Uncle, what’s wrong? Has something happened?”

Hearing this, Chen Xuan sighed: “Sister-in-law, today I went to see Elder Brother and told him that I offered that treasure to you to please him and to get him to guide me a bit, to help me Breakthrough my Realm. But Elder Brother…”

“What happened to Yu Guili?” Xia Chuwei frowned slightly; she was still clear about Yu Guili’s temper.

“Elder Brother not only looked down on my treasure, but he also disliked my low cultivation, telling me to Breakthrough to the Tianxian Realm before I seek him out again. Sister-in-law, you also know that my path in Cultivation is already difficult, and now Elder Brother is unwilling to help me. I truly don’t know what to do.”

As he spoke, Chen Xuan’s eyes seemed to well up with tears.

An Oscar-winning actor, not just for show; little pearls, as many as he needed.

As expected, seeing this, Xia Chuwei felt a pang of pity: “Uncle, please don’t be like this. Perhaps your Elder Brother has been busy with affairs recently and is in a bad mood, which is why he spoke like that.”

“Sister-in-law, I know Elder Brother looks down on me, but I genuinely long to make a Breakthrough and help you both in the future.”

“Later, I heard that Sister-in-law, your cultivation is profound and your heart is kind, so I humbly ask Sister-in-law to guide me on some Cultivation methods, so that I may have a chance to improve myself and no longer be disliked by Elder Brother.”

Xia Chuwei hesitated upon hearing this: “Uncle, Cultivation is actually different for everyone. I’m afraid my methods might not be suitable for you, so…”
