620: Wow, finally back to the main story

Facing the Aura emitted by Lin Rou, Long Qingwan refused to be outdone; her Golden Immortal stage immortal power instantly erupted, clashing head-on with Lin Rou's Aura.

For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by these two powerful forces, with Qi currents surging wildly.

"Don't bully me just because your cultivation is higher than mine. If you have the guts, let's have a fair contest!" Long Qingwan gritted her teeth and said.

Lin Rou smirked disdainfully, "Alright, since little sister wants to compete, then I'll play with you and see how capable you truly are."

With that, a ball of green light condensed in her hand—it was the unique Life Force she possessed as the tree of life, and within the light was an endless vitality and destructive power.

Seeing this, Long Qingwan quickly formed hand seals, and a layer of golden Dragon scales appeared around her body, enveloping her. At the same time, her Dragon tail lashed out in the air, striking towards Lin Rou, bringing with it a whistling wind.

Chen Xuan looked at the two women, who were at daggers drawn, and felt a headache coming on. He quickly stepped forward, trying to intervene:

"Stop! Don't fight anymore, you're all on the same side!"

However, at this moment, the two women were consumed by anger and couldn't hear him. They started fighting with a series of crackling sounds.

Seeing that his mediation was fruitless and the two women's fight grew increasingly fierce, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were all shaken askew by the powerful immortal power.

He sighed helplessly, and his figure flickered, appearing like a ghost instantly between the two women. His hands shot out quickly, and he gave each of them a solid slap.

"Slap! Slap!" Two crisp sounds were particularly abrupt in this space filled with surging spiritual power.

Lin Rou and Long Qingwan were stunned by the sudden slaps, their movements instantly froze, and they looked at Chen Xuan with disbelief.

"Have you two had enough of this nonsense?!"

"Haven't I been getting along well with you two normally? Just because of a small matter, you have to fight fiercely. If something unexpected really happens, have you thought about the consequences?" Chen Xuan's eyes were full of reproach as he scanned back and forth across the two women's faces.

Lin Rou's cheeks flushed crimson, both embarrassed and annoyed. The Life Force light condensed in her hand flickered erratically, seemingly still building up for the earlier fight.

But under Chen Xuan's angry gaze, the light gradually dimmed. She bit her lower lip, a hint of grievance flashing in her eyes, "I... I just couldn't stand her attitude just now."

Long Qingwan also looked aggrieved, her Dragon tail restlessly swaying in the air, the golden Dragon scales on her body not yet fully dissipated, "She provoked me first; I can't just take this Qi for nothing."

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down:

"No matter who started it, stop now. We are all companions cultivating together; what conflict can't be resolved by sitting down and talking properly? Why resort to fighting? Not only does it hurt our harmony, but if someone with ill intentions takes advantage of the situation, we'll all suffer."

The two women lowered their heads after hearing Chen Xuan's words. Although they were still a bit unconvinced, they knew that Chen Xuan was right.

"What are you still standing there for? Quickly retract your power, or do you still want to keep fighting?" Chen Xuan looked at the two of them, his tone softening slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rou glared at Chen Xuan and was the first to dissipate the Life Force in her hand.

Seeing this, Long Qingwan also slowly retracted the Dragon scales on her body, and the atmosphere finally was no longer as tense as before.

However, the two women's gazes towards each other were still full of hostility.

Chen Xuan looked at the two of them and sighed helplessly, "Rou'er, Qingwan, you are both the most important people in my life. I don't want to see you hurt each other."

Lin Rou snorted coldly and turned her head away, "Hmph, if she can understand some rules, I naturally won't make things difficult for her."

Long Qingwan was not to be outdone, "My feelings with Chen Xuan are as strong as gold; I won't be intimidated by a few words from you."

Chen Xuan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

Why didn't he realize before that when women fight, it gives him such a headache? There are also several newcomers in this Inner World who don't know that he already has a big family!

Seeing that the two women still showed no signs of reconciling, Chen Xuan stood helplessly between them, and a thought struck him, a plan forming in his mind.

He first walked to Lin Rou's side, gently held her hand, and spoke in a gentle, coaxing tone:

"Rou'er, you are the tree of life in human form, you care for all things, and you are always kind and tolerant. You usually get along very well with... them. Why did you get into a fight with Qingwan today? She has a straightforward personality, and her words might have offended you, but don't take it to heart."

Lin Rou's expression softened slightly as she listened, but she still pouted and remained silent.

Then, Chen Xuan turned and came to Long Qingwan's side, gently stroked her Dragon tail, and said kindly:

"Qingwan, I understand your feelings for me, but Rou'er has never had any bad intentions either. We have all gone through many hardships together, and there's still a long road ahead. We can't always live like this, at daggers drawn, can we?"

"Hmph, who, who wants to live together!" Long Qingwan's face flushed slightly as she looked up at Chen Xuan, the grievance in her eyes fading a bit, but she still cast a sidelong glance at Lin Rou.

Seeing that both of them were softening, Chen Xuan struck while the iron was hot:

"How about this, let's find a place to sit down and have a good talk. Pour out all your unhappiness; maybe once we talk it out, we'll find that they were all just small misunderstandings."

Saying this, Chen Xuan took Lin Rou's hand with one hand and Long Qingwan's hand with the other, and walked towards a stone pavilion not far away.

"Alright, since neither of you wants to argue, let's stick to the facts. Rou'er, if Qingwan offended you with her words, I apologize on her behalf. Qingwan, if Rou'er did anything wrong, don't take it to heart either. We are family; we must be considerate of each other."

The two women remained silent after hearing Chen Xuan's words.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and began to tell the two women about the interesting adventures he had experienced with each of them, those past moments of facing danger together and overcoming difficulties hand in hand.

Gradually, the frost on Lin Rou and Long Qingwan's faces began to melt. Recalling the past bits and pieces, the hostility in their hearts also faded considerably.

Chen Xuan saw it and rejoiced in his heart: "From now on, if we have conflicts again, you are not allowed to fight anymore. Come to me for judgment; I promise to be fair." Chen Xuan said, hugging one on his left and one on his right.

Lin Rou and Long Qingwan exchanged glances, then both looked at Chen Xuan. Although they didn't speak, the tension in their eyes was gone.

"Alright, enough about that, Husband, you said, why did you call me out?" Lin Rou spoke first.

"That's right, Husband, weren't we looking for clues about the life immortal tree? Why did you suddenly...!" Long Qingwan also said.

"What?! life immortal tree?" Lin Rou was a bit surprised.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan explained the whole story to Lin Rou.

"I didn't expect there to be clues about my clan's powerful being here!" Lin Rou said excitedly.
