The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife
Chapter 187 - 119: Chu Xuan, I Miss You So Much (Part 2)
In short, those who didn’t know him started inquiring about his background, and the cultivators who attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet naturally weren’t shy about bragging a little about their experiences.
When they learned that Chu Xuan had comprehended a fourth-realm Dharma image with just a third-realm body, many people were greatly astonished, and their gazes at him changed significantly.
Thus, Chu Xuan’s reputation spread further, and more people came to know this "suddenly-appearing" genius disciple of the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.
...
At this point, Chu Xuan didn’t have time to pay attention to outsiders’ gazes because an incredibly beautiful and adorable young girl was throwing herself at him.
"Chu Xuan, I’ve missed you so much!"
This was a girl dressed in a goose-yellow dress, with long hair reaching her waist, and her arms wrapped in white silk.
Seeing her excited, blushing face, Chu Xuan smiled and opened his arms, allowing Jiang Yiyi to hug him tightly.
"Why did you go away for so long? Did you miss me?"
Chu Xuan was just feeling touched when Jiang Yiyi continued, "You have to sincerely miss me, no sneaky thoughts allowed."
"Actually, you can offer incense to me. I’ve tried it, and I can receive the incense offerings of the Daoist Palace disciples."
Seeing this ancestral figure who took a step back, placed her hands on her hips, and spoke with a very confident tone, Chu Xuan helplessly shook his head; some things never change.
Qingqing, on the other hand, looked at her with a hostile gaze. Who’s this now? Chu Xuan’s junior sister from the same sect? Does she have any sense of propriety? Hugging like this in public?
Gu Haitang was relatively better. After all, she had been a guest at the Daoist Palace and understood this one’s personality. To put it nicely, it’s called "pure-hearted"; to put it rudely, well...
"Haitang, I’ve missed you too!"
Jiang Yiyi seemed to just notice her and joyfully hugged her.
Gu Haitang hesitated for a moment but didn’t avoid the embrace.
Although she was a bit unaccustomed to such close contact with outsiders, this person was quite close to Chu Xuan, so it was naturally easier to get closer to Chu Xuan by getting along with her.
After hugging, Jiang Yiyi mysteriously whispered in Haitang’s ear, "Did you?"
Gu Haitang was stunned for a moment, "Did what?"
"Have a baby!"
Haitang’s face instantly turned red, blushing all the way to her ears.
Chu Xuan speechlessly pulled Jiang Yiyi away, "Don’t talk nonsense."
The ancestral figure looked disgruntled, speaking in a reproachful tone:
"How long have you been out? And still haven’t gotten her pregnant? Are you capable or not? Little dog."
Qingqing was livid and spoke up before Chu Xuan could respond, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Jiang Yiyi disdainfully glanced at her, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like this? Do you know who I am?"
Before the ancestral figure could boast about her background, Chu Xuan quickly intervened to separate the two.
Just then, other members of the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace came forward.
Leading the group were Su Yu Zhenren and Lu Jianxin Zhenren from Celestial Sword Peak, the latter being the master of the little junior brother.
He appeared to be a middle-aged man in a blue Daoist robe, with a gentle temperament as warm as jade. It’s hard to imagine that back in the day, he was a ruthless figure whose mere presence scared the evil cults.
Chu Xuan politely stepped forward to greet him.
The eight or nine disciples following the two, all at least of the third realm, chorused, "Senior Brother."
Many of them were older than Chu Xuan, and upon seeing his rapid progress, they couldn’t help but praise the master’s good judgment.
Of course, the little junior brother Ye Xingming was among them, now a spirited young man whose entire aura was like an unsheathed sharp sword. Upon seeing Chu Xuan, he happily approached for a chat.
Chu Xuan chatted with the little junior brother while being a bit distracted.
"Did your Senior Sister not come?" he asked in a lowered voice.
Ye Xingming gave a sly smile, "I knew Senior Brother would ask that. Don’t worry, she’s just off saying hello to fellow friends and will be right over."
Chu Xuan felt a bit awkward; was he that easy to read?
Finding an excuse to tap the little junior brother’s head, he returned to Qingqing and Haitang so Jiang Yiyi wouldn’t come up with any more shocking content.
Qingqing was still arguing with Jiang Yiyi, both with stubborn personalities, and upon Chu Xuan’s arrival, they were eager to tattletale.
Just then, a lively female voice called out, "Chu Xuan~"
Chu Xuan’s eyes lit up, immediately turned around, and before he could see who it was, was embraced by her. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Feeling the soft warmth in his arms, Chu Xuan’s expression was a bit dazed.
Only when the woman in his arms released him, stepped back slightly, and gave him a bright and confident smile, did he react and nodded lightly, "Senior Sister, long time no see."
Qin Mengyao was still wearing her clean white dress, with a graceful long ponytail, her tall figure and notably long legs leaving a deep impression.
Qingqing was nearly fainting now, her gaze at Chu Xuan even more frustrated; how many more old flames does this guy have?
Gu Haitang frowned slightly at Qin Mengyao’s arrival, not forgetting that back then, it was for this woman that Chu Xuan had let go of her hand...
Chu Xuan was indeed looking forward to seeing his Senior Sister, but in his mind, their interaction shouldn’t be so intimate but rather like any ordinary senior and junior greeting.
As his Senior Sister had already clearly rejected him, yet now she was doing these ambiguous gestures...
