Chapter 677: Chapter 277: I Want to Be Closer to Him! (Please Subscribe)_2

As she gazed, her eyes involuntarily fell on the side room in the middle of Chunhe Garden, where Chen Yi resided. It appeared as if no one lived there, as no figures could be seen, nor any sounds heard from the outside.

Since their last outing in Kyoto Prefecture, Chen Yi had disappeared, rumored to have entered closed cultivation once again.

"This guy, with such high cultivation, still works so hard... he gives me no chance at all..."

Though Xiao Xuanzhen had long given up on competing with Chen Yi, that didn’t mean she never fantasized about one day—

If she obtained the heritage from an ancient secret realm or came across some legendary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, perhaps she could surpass Chen Yi in both cultivation and techniques.

By that time...

"Hehe..."

Thinking about such a scenario, Xiao Xuanzhen couldn’t help but laugh. If that day truly came, Chen Yi’s expression would surely be spectacular.

Just then, the door to the room behind her opened with a "creak," and Xiao Xuanzhen quickly suppressed her smile, pretending to look back calmly.

"Sister Hua?"

"Senior Sister Xiao," Hua Xianzi was momentarily stunned to see her standing outside and quickly bowed after reacting:

"I... I didn’t know you were..."

"Why so nervous," Xiao Xuanzhen looked at her with a smirk, beckoning:

"Constant cultivation is too dull, come, come, let’s enjoy the scenery and relax together, Sister."

Hua Xianzi hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and walked to her side in a few steps.

"Sister, your cultivation has advanced these days too, not bad at all," Xiao Xuanzhen turned her head to appraise her, praising:

"When the Sect was recruiting disciples, I already knew your talent was extraordinary. Now, apart from Junior Brother Chen Yi and Junior Sister Xue Ru, among the disciples who joined the Sect with you, your cultivation is the highest."

Hua Xianzi modestly showed a slight smile.

She didn’t care for Xiao Xuanzhen’s praise, nor did she think it was deserved, only she knew what she had paid to achieve her current cultivation.

Daily cultivation, and spending years in the alchemy room learning alchemy, almost consumed all her time, with very little rest.

Even if there was, she mostly went to Sword Edge Mountain to be with Chen Yi and others.

Xiao Xuanzhen continued speaking to herself: "Speaking of which, I remember another thing. It seems that only during my hosting over the years did the disciples recruited have the highest talent."

"In subsequent recruitments into the Sect, their current cultivation is far weaker than yours. Even Junior Brother Lin from Lin Xun Peak, with extraordinary talent, is significantly inferior to you all, how strange..."

Listening to her words, Hua Xianzi couldn’t help recalling the events of them leaving their hometown to join the Grand Void Sect.

She had more than once felt fortunate that Er Hua had encouraged them to leave Chuan Mansion at that time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to Jizhou Prefecture to join the Grand Void Sect, nor would she have met Chen Yi.

She also more than once reflected on that past event—how she almost starved to death when she lost her travel expenses.

Whenever she thought of that, Hua Xianzi would feel her face heat up.

If she hadn’t stubbornly held on, Hua Youxiang and Hua Yourong wouldn’t have stolen someone else’s food, and what happened afterward would...

"Senior Brother Chen Yi would never know that at that time, his two steamed buns were the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life."

Thinking of Chen Yi, Hua Xianzi’s face bloomed like a flower, unconsciously revealing a radiant smile, like a blooming peony, outshining all the flowers in Chunhe Garden.

Xiao Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment upon seeing her expression, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. No wonder in "Ten Taoist Immortals," Hua Xianzi’s ranking surpassed both hers and Lin Xueru’s; with such a beautiful smile, she was truly unmatched by the ordinary.

"Sister, are you thinking about Chen Yi now?"

"No, no..." Hua Xianzi snapped back to reality, her face suddenly turning red, and she subconsciously looked behind her, feeling relieved when she was sure Lin Xueru hadn’t appeared.

"Sister, are you thinking about Chen Yi now?"

"No, no..." Hua Xianzi snapped back to reality, her face suddenly turning red, and she subconsciously looked behind her, feeling relieved when she was sure Lin Xueru hadn’t appeared.

"Still saying no," Xiao Xuanzhen teased her gently, slinging an arm over her shoulder, teasingly saying:

"If you’re not thinking about Junior Brother Chen Yi, why are you so nervous about Junior Sister Xue Ru?"

"I, I’m not..." Hua Xianzi’s face flushed even more, feeling a bit awkward as she twisted her body and said:

"Senior Brother is in closed cultivation, if he hears, that wouldn’t be good..."

"You’ve said it, he’s in closed cultivation, what are you afraid of." Xiao Xuanzhen let go of her, shaking her head with a smile:

"I don’t know what spell you all are under. From a young age, Junior Sister Xue Ru has been with Junior Brother Chen Yi, not allowing anyone to speak about him."

"What’s most annoying is that even when I am bullied by him, Junior Sister Xue Ru doesn’t stand by my side, humph!"

Hua Xianzi touched her cheek, feeling the warmth emanating from it, her face reddening again, she softly said:

"Senior Brother didn’t bully you."

"Yes, yes... He didn’t bully me. It’s all my fault, is that okay?" Xiao Xuanzhen rolled her eyes.

Even though she and Hua Xianzi shared extended time together while heading to the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm, even sleeping in the same bed, Hua Xianzi still wouldn’t speak a word of fairness for her.

For Chen Yi to compete with her, with his level of innate talent and cultivation, isn’t that bullying her?

Xiao Xuanzhen instinctively ignored the fact that she was the one who always initiated the challenge. Seeing those around her—fellow disciples, elders, even her father Xiao Huang, the Sect Master of the Grand Void Sect—were all siding with Chen Yi, she always felt inexplicably annoyed.

"Boring, boring... Sister, how about we go out for a walk tomorrow?"

Hua Xianzi paused for a moment, glanced at her, and seeing her serious expression, she thoughtfully replied:

"Senior Sister, perhaps not."

"Currently, Kyoto Prefecture has many Martial World guests, the crowd is too numerous and chaotic, going out might cause some trouble..."

Like the last time they encountered Wang Yang at Qu Pond, who had a confrontation with Chen Yi and spoke insolently in Duke Jingye Mansion.

Though Hua Xianzi wasn’t aware that the conflict between Wang Yang and Chen Yi started because of her, she didn’t want to encounter such things again, not wanting to cause any trouble for Chen Yi because of their outings.

"Moreover, Uncle Qing Zhou wouldn’t allow us to go out."

"Come on... boring, boring..."

As Xiao Xuanzhen guessed she would answer this way, she shook her head in disappointment, then stretched lazily and asked in a languid tone:

"There are only a few days left until the commencement of the grand event, do you have any goals, Sister? Or, do you want to achieve a top ten ranking? They say the results of this event are directly related to the Tianyuan Continent’s subsequent battle among prodigies."

Hua Xianzi, seeing that she didn’t bring up going out anymore, felt relieved and replied:

"I haven’t prepared much, I’ll just do my best."

"True..." Xiao Xuanzhen glanced at her, remained silent for a moment, and then said softly:

"I aspire to secure a good ranking, hopefully breaking into the top ten, so that..."

Perhaps she could participate in the upcoming selection battle on the Tianyuan Continent with Chen Yi.

But these words stopped on the tip of her tongue, instead she said, "Father would be very happy."

Hua Xianzi, unaware of her thoughts, considered the post-event situation where Chen Yi would inevitably participate in the Tianyuan Continent’s selection battle, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of motivation.

She might not care much about the grand event, the battle among prodigies, but she deeply wished to be closer to Chen Yi.

Even if it meant simply being by Chen Yi’s side, that would be enough!
