After the red monkey finished eating the food, it seemed to become closer to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

It jumped onto Luo Chen's shoulder and let out a happy cry.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both amused by the red monkey's behavior.

They decided to temporarily take in the mysterious creature to see if it could become their partner.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang practiced with Chi Hou and explored the mysteries of the world of immortal cultivation together.

Although the red monkey cannot directly help them in battle, it is smart and can always provide help at critical moments.

As time goes by, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's strength continues to increase, and they gradually uncover the secret of the red monkey.

It turns out that the red monkey is a rare spiritual animal with special abilities that allow it to sense danger and opportunity.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were full of gratitude towards the Red Monkey. They knew that with the Red Monkey's help, they would go further on the path of cultivating immortals.

However, changes in the world of immortal cultivation are always unpredictable.

Just when they thought they could practice in peace, a new crisis was quietly approaching.

On the second day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were practicing when they suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from a distance.

They immediately became alert and the red monkey also became extremely nervous.

"This is..." Luo Chen frowned. He felt that there was a powerful force contained in this breath.

"Let's go and take a look." Qingshuang suggested.

Luo Chen nodded, and they took the red monkey and flew towards the direction where the breath came from.

When they arrived at their destination, they were shocked by the sight.

I saw a group of cultivators besieging a young man dressed in luxurious clothes.

"What's going on?" Qingshuang asked in surprise.

Luo Chen shook his head. He didn't know what happened.

However, I don’t know.

I went over to take a look and there wasn't any big problem.

"go!"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang approached quickly and saw that although the young man was dressed gorgeously, he looked a little embarrassed at the moment. He had many scars on his body and it was obvious that he had been fighting for a long time.

The cultivators around him had ferocious looks on their faces, and seemed to harbor great hostility towards the young man.

“Stop!” Luo Chen shouted, his voice containing spiritual power, which hurt everyone’s eardrums.

Those immortal cultivators were startled and turned to look at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with vigilance in their eyes.

A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and asked coldly, "Who are you? Why are you interfering in our affairs?"

Luo Chen replied calmly: "We were just passing by, and when we saw you besieging someone, we couldn't just sit there and do nothing out of moral obligation."

The middle-aged man sneered: "Morality? This kid stole the treasure of our sect, so we must bring him to justice."

Upon hearing this, the young man hurriedly explained: "I didn't steal it! I found the treasure by accident, and I was about to return it, but you chased me for no reason!"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, both of them confused. Luo Chen said, "If that's the case, why don't you explain the matter clearly? If he really stole the treasure, there are rules in the sect to deal with him. Why do you have to punish him here?"

The middle-aged man's face darkened: "You don't know how cunning this kid is. If he returns to the sect, he will definitely make up lies. Then we won't be able to explain ourselves."

Luo Chen frowned slightly and was about to say something else, but Qingshuang gently pulled his sleeve, signaling him not to act rashly.

She stepped forward and said softly, "In that case, why don't we be witnesses? If he really stole the treasure, we will never cover it up, but if he is innocent, you should not continue to hunt him down."

The middle-aged man hesitated, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say, but if he dares to escape, we will never let him go."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that at least for the time being they could avoid a pointless battle.

They turned to the young man and asked, "What is your name?"

The young man looked at them gratefully and replied, "My name is Nantu."

Luo Chen nodded: "Nantu, don't worry, we will do our best to help you clarify the facts."

Nantu nodded gratefully, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

In the following days, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Nan Tu investigated the matter together.

They discovered that Nantu had indeed obtained a treasure by chance, but that treasure did not belong to the sect that was hunting them, but to an ancient relic.

This relic had long been forgotten, and Nantu accidentally broke into it and obtained the treasure.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to help Nan Tu return the treasure to the correct sect and explain to them the whole story.

They believe that as long as the truth comes to light, Nantu will naturally be treated fairly.

However, things were not as simple as they imagined.

With the help of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, Nan Tu finally found the sect to which the treasure belonged, the Zixiao Sect.

Zixiao Sect, an ancient and mysterious sect of immortal cultivation, occupies a pivotal position in the world of immortal cultivation with its profound heritage and powerful strength.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang brought Nan Tu to the mountain gate of Zixiao Sect. They saw the towering mountain gate, surrounded by clouds and mist, and a solemn atmosphere filled their faces.

"Is this the Zixiao Sect?" Nan Tu looked at the scene in front of him, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Luo Chen nodded and said, "That's right, let's go in."

The three of them stepped into the gate of Zixiao Sect together. Seeing this, the disciples guarding the gate immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"Who are you? What do you want?" a disciple asked seriously.

Luo Chen stepped forward and said politely: "We are here to return a treasure and explain some misunderstandings."

The gatekeeper disciple heard this and his expression eased a little. He said, "Please wait a moment. I will report it right away."

Not long after, an old man in a purple robe walked out. His eyes were sharp, and it was obvious that he had extraordinary cultivation.

"I am the elder of Zixiao Sect. I need to know the details of what you are talking about." said the old man.

Luo Chen told the elders everything that had happened, including how Nan Tu had accidentally obtained the treasure and how they had investigated the truth.

After listening to this, the elder pondered for a moment, then said: "I will personally investigate this matter. If it is true as you said, Nantu will naturally not be treated unfairly."

Nantu said gratefully, "Thank you for your insight, Elder."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that as long as the elders of Zixiao Sect stepped forward, the matter should be properly resolved.

However, just as they were about to leave, a disciple from the Zixiao Sect hurried over with a panicked look on his face.

"Elder, it's bad! The sect's treasury was broken into and the treasure disappeared!" the disciple said breathlessly.

The elder's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately turned around and walked into the sect, followed by Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Nan Tu. When they arrived at the treasury, they saw that the door of the treasury was destroyed and the inside was in a mess. It was obvious that someone had forced his way in.

"What's going on?" the elder asked angrily.

A disciple who was in charge of guarding the treasury knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Elder, we...we didn't know either. Suddenly someone broke in and we didn't have time to react."

Luo Chen frowned, he realized that things were not simple.

"It seems that someone deliberately framed Nantu and wanted to put the blame on him." Qingshuang said in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded. He looked at Nan Tu and found that Nan Tu's face also showed confusion and anger.

"We must find out the real culprit and clear Nantu's name." Luo Chen said firmly.

The elder also realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to investigate the matter personally.

After a careful investigation, they found some clues pointing to a certain force within the Zixiao Sect.

"It seems that someone wants to use this incident to stir up conflicts within the sect." Luo Chen analyzed.

The elder nodded, and he decided to hold a sect meeting to make the matter public and look for the real culprit.

At the sect meeting, the elders announced the course of events and the results of the investigation, causing an uproar.

"It is so sad that someone in our Zixiao Sect would do such a thing!" an elder said angrily.

"We must find the real culprit and maintain the dignity of the sect!" another elder echoed.

After a heated discussion, an inner disciple of Zixiao Sect was finally exposed and confessed his crime.

It turned out that the disciple was jealous of the treasure that Nantu obtained by chance and wanted to take it for himself, so he designed to frame Nantu.

"I... I just wanted that treasure, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..." the disciple said regretfully.

Nantu looked at everything in front of him with mixed feelings.

"Nantu, you have been wronged." The elder said to Nantu, "We will give you justice."

Nantu said gratefully: "Thank you, Elder, and thank you everyone."

In the end, Nantu received the compensation he deserved, while the inner disciple was severely punished.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang watched all this and felt relieved.

“It seems that the path to becoming an immortal requires not only strength, but also wisdom and courage.” Luo Chen said with emotion.

Qing Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, we have learned a lot from this incident."

Nantu looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with gratitude and said, "If it weren't for you, I might not be able to clear my name."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "It's just something I did casually."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang showed relieved smiles on their faces. They knew that Nan Tu’s injustice had finally been vindicated, and they also gained valuable experience and friendship from this incident.

After the sect meeting ended, Nan Tu was invited to the elder's residence, and the elder personally prepared a cup of fragrant tea for him as a token of apology and gratitude.

“Nantu, you have suffered a lot this time.” The elder said earnestly, “The courage and perseverance you have shown are worthy of learning for all of us.”

Nan Tu bowed his head slightly and answered respectfully: "Elder, you are too kind. All this is thanks to the two seniors Luo Chen and Qing Shuang. I just did what I should do."

Luo Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nantu, you don't have to be modest. Your integrity and courage are seen by all of us."

Qingshuang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Nantu, what are your plans for the future? Are you willing to stay in Zixiao Sect?"

Nantu pondered for a moment, then said, "I do have this idea, but I want to go back home first and tell my family the good news."

The elder nodded to show his understanding: "This is what I should do. You should go back first. When you come back, we will discuss your future in detail."

Nantu bowed gratefully to everyone present, then turned and left the elders' residence.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also decided to leave Zixiao Sect temporarily. They wanted to continue their journey of cultivating immortals, and also hoped that Nantu could find his own path.

A few days later, Nantu returned home and his family was excited to see him return safely.

Nantu told his family about his experiences in Zixiao Sect, and they felt very proud after hearing it.

"Nantu, you did a great job," his father said, patting him on the shoulder. "We are so proud of you."

Nantu's mother wiped her tears and said excitedly: "My child, you have suffered a lot. You must be careful in the future."

Nantu smiled and comforted his family: "I'm fine, everything is over. Now I am going to prepare to return to Zixiao Sect and start my new life."

With the support of his family, Nantu once again embarked on the journey to Zixiao Sect.

This time, his heart was filled with hope and expectation.

After returning to Zixiao Sect, Nantu expressed his determination to join the sect to the elders.

The elder looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Nantu, you have proven your worth. Zixiao Sect welcomes you to join."

Nantu knelt down excitedly and bowed deeply to the elder: "Thank you, elder. I will definitely not let you down."

In this way, Nantu became a disciple of Zixiao Sect and began his own journey of cultivating immortals.

Naturally, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were not aware of the subsequent situation of Zixiao Sect.

After all, they left together when Nantu left.

They returned to the Dafengfang City they had visited before.

That's why I went back.

Of course it was because I had discovered some interesting things in Dafeng Market before.

"The Immortal Cultivator's Gambling House".

Luo Chen looked at the five big words in front of him, and he immediately became interested.

Of course, he knew about the gambling houses of ordinary people.

But he had never heard much about this gambling house for immortal cultivators.

"A gambling house for cultivators, it sounds quite new." Luo Chen said.

Qing Shuang shook her head slightly. "I've heard of the Immortal Cultivator Gambling House. It's a mixed bag with all kinds of people. The gambling games are all kinds of weird, and some even involve life."

Luo Chen smiled, "Isn't that perfect? ​​Aren't we cultivators all about seeking excitement and challenges?"

Qingshuang frowned, "Luo Chen, don't forget that we are here to find opportunities, not for the sake of temporary excitement."

Luo Chen nodded, "I know, I just said to go in and take a look, I don't necessarily have to participate in the gambling."

Seeing that Luo Chen insisted, Qingshuang didn't say anything more, and the two of them walked into the gambling house together.

The gambling house was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Various immortal cultivators gathered here. Some were staring at the cards in their hands nervously at the gambling table, some were talking in low voices, and some were drinking alone in the corner, seemingly uninterested in everything around them. (End of this chapter)
