At this moment, in Qingqing’s eyes, Chu Xuan’s figure was incredibly grand, as if he was taking away not Ah Yue, but herself.

Gu Haitang also made up her mind to stand with Chu Xuan, even if it meant fighting against her righteous colleagues.

Li Yuanshan stared fixedly into Chu Xuan’s eyes, and at that moment he knew this person had an unyielding will to fight to the death, and no one could change his determination.

The two sides were at a standoff for a long time, and finally, Li Yuanshan sighed deeply into the sky: "Fine, fine."

"I just want to ask one question: Today I’ll let you rescue her, but what about the future? Can you protect them for a lifetime?"

"Frankly, this horse demon doesn’t even know how to restrain its demon aura. Any cultivator passing by would know there’s a monster lurking here. If not for Niugu Village being so remote, could they have lived peacefully until now?"

Chu Xuan calmly said, "No need to worry, Daoist friend, I will arrange things properly for Aqing and his wife. I only ask for one promise from you."

"Do not return to disturb them in the future, and do not disclose their life here."

Li Yuanshan snorted coldly, "Then can I also ask for a promise from Daoist friend?"

"If this monster causes many murders in the future, can you take responsibility?"

Chu Xuan thought for a moment, "I dare not represent the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace, I can only represent myself."

"If Ah Yue really commits many atrocities in the future, you can put all the blame on me, and Daoist friend can come to settle accounts with me."

Li Yuanshan was slightly surprised, and even Gu Haitang was a bit worried; as a cultivator, such words should not be said lightly.

Chu Xuan’s words were almost equivalent to saying: I accept this karma.

Maybe low-level cultivators don’t care much about this, but the higher one’s cultivation, the more they value karmic connections.

Only Qingqing vaguely guessed something...

Although Aqing didn’t understand much, he repeatedly waved his hand, "No need, no need for the immortal to go to such lengths for us."

Li Yuanshan carefully looked at Chu Xuan, seeing he showed not the slightest regret, and finally nodded, "Good, I hope Daoist friend remembers today’s words."

As soon as he finished speaking, he cast a spell to open the golden cage treasure, releasing Ah Yue, and turned away without looking back.

The young couple naturally burst into tears of joy, tightly hugging each other.

Aqing cherished his wife in his arms, "Ah Yue, I swear I will never let you leave my side again."

Ah Yue just nestled on her husband’s shoulder, murmuring: "Together, forever together."

Chu Xuan quietly watched this scene, not knowing what was on his mind.

...

After the couple calmed down, Chu Xuan began to make arrangements for their future.

"In a while, I will transcribe two Cultivation Techniques for you."

"One to help Ah Yue restrain her demon aura, and one is for you, Aqing."

"Me?" Aqing was a bit confused, also somewhat fearful, "Isn’t this too precious? Besides, I’m afraid I can’t learn these things."

Chu Xuan shook his head, "It’s just a Breathing Technique for strengthening the body, not really considered a cultivation technique."

"It’s enough to counterbalance the negative effects of long-term closeness to a monster. You don’t want to die early and take Ah Yue with you, do you?"

Only then did Aqing nod, but immediately he worriedly said, "But I can’t read, and Ah Yue is the same."

"Never mind, I’ll directly infuse the techniques into your minds, it will just take a bit more time."

Chu Xuan continued, "Are you two planning to continue living in Niugu Village?"

Aqing was somewhat nervous, "Leave? Actually, I don’t have to stay here. My parents have already passed away; most of those left are distant relatives, with whom I have little contact."

"I just don’t know where to move to, and worry that I can’t settle in a new place."

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and simply let them live near Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.

Although the Daoist Palace doesn’t directly govern the surrounding mortal territories, if any disasters threaten the mortals nearby or if any evils appear, they will intervene promptly.

At that time, I’ll first report to the sect to gain my master’s approval, the palace disciples shouldn’t harm Ah Yue.

Moreover, I can ask He Musheng, the master of Fei Xian Temple, for some help in taking care of them.

This temple is considered a semi-external part of the Daoist Palace; it was established by a disciple who left the sect due to fading hopes in cultivation and holds nostalgic sentiments.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuan explained to the couple and asked for their intentions.

Aqing repeatedly nodded, "Let’s do as the immortal says."

Ah Yue also smiled and nodded to Chu Xuan, "Thank you, you are a good person."

"But I’m in a hurry to travel and probably can’t escort you there."

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, "Then, stay here for a few more days. Once Ah Yue learns to restrain her demon aura, move on your own."

"I’ll give you a map, and you can ask people on the road. You shouldn’t get lost."

Finally, he took out a money pouch from his storage bracelet and handed it to Aqing, "This is your travel expense; it should be enough, but just enough, probably won’t leave much over."

"After you move there, you must work hard with your own hands, earn money to support your family, and live well with Ah Yue."

Aqing kept declining, feeling both grateful and guilty, "Benefactor, I can’t accept this; you’ve given us so much already, I can’t take your money anymore." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Chu Xuan shook his head, "I’m not doing this just for you. Ah Yue’s answer just now greatly inspired me."

"Besides, if you help someone, you might as well help them to the end. In for a penny, in for a pound. I’m not helping you for nothing." Saying this, he extended his right hand to Aqing.

Aqing hesitated for a moment, placing the money pouch back into Chu Xuan’s hand.
