Although the reconciliation between the two families was the best outcome, Lin Changsheng was afraid of hurting Chen Qingyuan's dignity and had to deal with it carefully.
"Elder Yao knows that this gift is a small gift, so take it back!"
Chen Qingyuan pondered for a while, his face expressionless.
Hearing the sound, everyone's eyelids raised slightly and their hearts tightened.
Yao Susu frowned and asked, "What does Elder Chen mean by this?"
"The oral engagement back then should not be taken too seriously. However, if you want to settle this relationship, let Bai Xixue go there in person! As long as she comes, I promise not to get entangled."
Chen Qingyuan said seriously.
I said this because I wanted to see if Bai Xixue was voluntary or if she was forced by the sect.
Before going to Tianyuan that year, Chen Qingyuan had spoken to Bai Xixue. At that time, Bai Xixue once said that she would wait for her no matter what the situation, and she would not regret it for a thousand or ten thousand years.
Moreover, Bai Xixue was just an ordinary disciple back then, and it was because of Chen Qingyuan that she received the key training from Dongyi Palace. It can be said that many things Bai Xixue owns were gifts from Chen Qingyuan.
If she really did it voluntarily, Chen Qingyuan wouldn't resent her.
After all, in the eyes of the world, he is already dead, so he has no one to blame. Some things are better explained clearly face to face by the parties involved.
"Make it clear in person, that should be the case." Yao Susu thought that Chen Qingyuan wanted to use the topic as an excuse, but it seemed that was not the case. She nodded and agreed: "I will ask Xixue to come and see Elder Chen in a few days."
"In addition, Elder Yao really wants to give me a gift to celebrate my return, but a middle-grade spiritual vein is far from enough." Although Chen Qingyuan has no cultivation for the time being, his eyes are sharp, like a knife piercing Yao Susu's body, making her sit on pins and needles: "Back then, Bai Xixue Explore the secret realm with me, and the things I give her are all treasures. There are as many as three high-grade spiritual veins, not to mention the middle-grade spiritual veins."
Hearing this, Yao Susu laughed awkwardly and quickly took back the middle-grade spiritual vein.
Lin Changsheng and others looked at Chen Qingyuan with complicated eyes. Chen Qingyuan went out many times back then, but every time he said that he had gained nothing and returned empty-handed, giving all his love to others!
It was only those few times, and no one asked any questions. After all, most of the resources Chen Qingyuan obtained before were used to build the sect, or were secretly given to his senior brothers as private money.
"If there is nothing else to do, I will leave first. Thank you for your hospitality."
After saying this, Yao Susu turned around and left.
After Yao Susu left, Dong Wenjun, the elder protecting the sect, couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother, you are such a prodigal thing, you didn't bring back the good things you got in the first place."
"Senior Brother Dong, don't worry so much about things outside of you."
Chen Qingyuan pursed his lips and smiled.
Over the years, Chen Qingyuan still brought a lot of resources back to the sect to build the sect and train his disciples.
"You boy, alas!"
Everyone shook their heads helplessly.
Even if Chen Qingyuan became a mortal, everyone still regarded Chen Qingyuan as a relative and did not criticize or ignore him.
Because of this, Chen Qingyuan regarded Xuan Qing Sect as his home.
A few days later, another person came to Dongyi Palace.
Several elders and more than ten disciples, Bai Xixue was among them.
Xuan Qingzong arranged the guests in Dongyi Palace so that Bai Xixue and Chen Qingyuan could be alone together.
Bai Xixue was wearing a light pink floor-length dress, with three thousand green silk threads tied tightly by jade hairpins, a pink belt tied around her waist, and a jade pendant hanging on it.
Her facial features are as if they were carved from jade, her skin is as white as snow, and her eyebrows are as beautiful as a painting.
Standing in the room, Bai Xixue placed her jade hands on her lower abdomen, looking a little nervous.
"Why don't you speak?"
Chen Qingyuan sat aside, looking at Bai Xixue who did not dare to look at him, with a cold voice.
"sorry."
Bai Xixue actually had a lot to say to Chen Qingyuan in her heart, but there was no need to say it now and she could only apologize.
"Does it make you feel a little at a loss if I come back alive?"
Chen Qingyuan's eyes were very calm, and he felt that Bai Xixue had become very strange.
"No, I'm very happy that Brother Chen can return safely." Bai Xixue pursed her red lips tightly and lowered her eyebrows.
"The soul lamp is extinguished and your life is cut off. You can't wait for a dead person all your life, I can understand it. When I meet you today, I just want to confirm whether you are being forced by the sect. From the looks of it, it shouldn't be."
Chen Qingyuan really doesn't blame Bai Xixue, he can only say that it is fate but not destiny!
"If you came back earlier, maybe things would be different."
Bai Xixue said softly.
"If I were not a useless person, what would you and Dongyi Palace choose?" Chen Qingyuan shook his head gently: "This has nothing to do with me coming back late, but a matter of strength."
Bai Xixue wanted to explain, but in the end she didn't say a word and remained silent.
"That's it, it's all over."
Chen Qingyuan said.
Bai Xixue's expression changed slightly and she did not answer.
Judging from her appearance, she probably doesn't have much affection for the young master of Tianyu Sect, but more of a relationship of interest.
If Chen Qingyuan still has enough strength this time and is not a useless person, Bai Xixue will definitely look different.
For monks, a hundred years is really not a long time, it is just a command room. If Bai Xixue really loves Chen Qingyuan to the core, she cannot change her heart easily. Moreover, now that Chen Qingyuan is back, he can definitely renew their relationship.
However, Bai Xixue's intention here was not to fall in love with Chen Qingyuan, but to end the relationship.
Maybe she really loved him a hundred years ago!
Only now everything has changed.
"From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other."
Chen Qingyuan muttered.
Inside the house, there was silence and a dull atmosphere.
An elder from Dongyi Palace knocked on the door gently to indicate that it was time to go back.
Before leaving, Bai Xixue raised her head and glanced at Chen Qingyuan, and found that Chen Qingyuan had lost his former energy and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in his body. I don't know at which moment, Bai Xixue's eyes changed from the initial guilt to calmness, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated.
After looking deeply at Chen Qingyuan, Bai Xixue opened the door and left without saying a word.
Although Chen Qingyuan has lost his cultivation, he just saw the small movements in Bai Xixue's hands. It was Bai Xixue who crushed a jade talisman and notified the accompanying elders to come over and break the deadlock.
"Alas! All those years of suffering were in vain."
In the Tianyuan restricted area, the girl in red fell in love with Chen Qingyuan and wanted to become a Taoist couple with Chen Qingyuan. However, Chen Qingyuan said that he had a marriage contract and refused without hesitation.
For this reason, Chen Qingyuan was tortured in various ways, which eventually led to the destruction of his spiritual roots and the loss of all his cultivation.
According to the girl in red, it's all for Chen Qingyuan's good.
Although Chen Qingyuan's talent is very high, he is still far behind and cannot reach the highest position. If you want to have unlimited possibilities in the future, you must reshape your foundation.
"That's done, it's time to go about your own business."
Chen Qingyuan did not forget the agreement with Tianyuan, and planned to set off in a few days.
In recent days, news of Chen Qingyuan's return from Tianyuan has spread all over the country.
Many forces wanted to know the situation in Tianyuan and sent high-level officials to Xuanqing Sect. In response, Xuan Qingzong said that Chen Qingyuan was unwell and did not see any guests.
Faced with the coercion and inducement from all parties, Xuan Qingzong protected Chen Qingyuan and did not let Chen Qingyuan face these troubles.
Secretly, Chen Qingyuan quietly left the Xuan Qing Sect under the arrangement of his senior brother Dong Wenjun.
Even though everyone was curious about Chen Qingyuan's whereabouts, they didn't ask too much. They just hoped that Chen Qingyuan would be safe and sound.
Chen Qingyuan's cultivation has been depleted, so temporarily leaving Xuan Qing Sect is a good choice.
After going to a nearby city, Chen Qingyuan bought some spiritual talismans for the journey. They only needed spiritual stones to activate them and did not need to mobilize their own spiritual energy.
After a whole month, Chen Qingyuan finally arrived at his destination.
Mingyue City is located in a corner of the Northern Wasteland, very remote.
There is a courtyard at the end of a street in the city. It is very simple and very few people pass by.
"Who?"
Chen Qingyuan knocked on the closed courtyard door, and an old voice came from it.
"You'll know when you open the door."
Chen Qingyuan said.
Click——
The door opened with a sharp creak.
An old man with dark skin, leaning on a cane, with a stooped figure, looked extremely frail. The old man looked Chen Qingyuan up and down, then grinned, showing his old yellow teeth: "Did the young master go to the wrong place?"
"You're right, I'm looking for you."
As he spoke, Chen Qingyuan took out a palm-sized wooden sign.
The moment he saw this wooden sign, the old man's pupils expanded rapidly, and his expression changed instantly, becoming extremely serious.
Then, the old man solemnly said: "Please come in."
This wooden sign was brought out from Tianyuan by Chen Qingyuan. It is said that the owner of the wooden sign once owed a favor to a big man, and using this as a token can make the owner of the wooden sign do anything, including taking his life.
"Where did the young master get this thing from?"
After entering the door, the old man seemed to have changed. His eyes were sharp and he asked in a deep voice.
"Tian Yuan." Chen Qingyuan said it bluntly.
Hearing this, the old man put away his vigilance and bowed to Chen Qingyuan to show respect.
Immediately afterwards, the old man thought of something that happened recently: "Could the young master be Chen Qingyuan of Xuanqing Sect?"
"Exactly." Chen Qingyuan nodded and admitted.
"Since the young master has obtained the wooden sign, I must keep my promise. What do you want me to do?"
The old man was prepared to sacrifice his life and was extremely serious.
"Is there any way to help me rebuild my foundation?"
Chen Qingyuan explained his purpose.
"Yes." The old man looked at Chen Qingyuan's physical condition and nodded.
I thought it was a big deal, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.
"Are you sure?" Chen Qingyuan asked suspiciously.
"It's not difficult." The old man said.
"Dare you ask me your senior's name?"
All the senior officials of Xuan Qing Sect together could not figure out how to help Chen Qingyuan. However, the old man in front of him found this matter not difficult, which made Chen Qingyuan stand in awe and asked, cupping his fists.
"Just a bad old man."
The old man laughed to himself.
