"It's good that it's been resolved. As long as it's been resolved smoothly, then there's nothing to worry about."

Zhao Changsheng nodded, quite satisfied with Madam Wen's answer.

Then, his gaze fell on Madam Wen.

His mission involuntarily came to mind.

Madam Wen, who was being scrutinized by Zhao Changsheng, couldn't help but blush slightly.

Her red lips parted slightly, but no sound came out; she didn't know what to ask.

"Would you...be willing to be my concubine?"

Seeing that Madam Wen seemed hesitant to speak, Zhao Changsheng shared his thoughts.

He wanted to see if Madam Wen would agree.

"A concubine?"

Zhao Changsheng's words caused Madam Wen's face to turn icy cold instantly, and she completely disregarded Zhao Changsheng's status, her gaze becoming sharp as a blade.

"I would never become someone else's concubine."

Cold and devoid of emotion.

Zhao Changsheng smiled and did not get angry. Instead, he nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Madam Wen's answer.

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Changsheng got up and left Baibi Mountain without lingering.

As Zhao Changsheng left, Madam Wen's expression changed from cold to bewildered. She couldn't understand why Zhao Changsheng wasn't angry and why he suddenly left.

Weren't the two of them getting along quite well before?

Even Zhao Changsheng helped her deal with the Six Paths Supreme Saint, but now it seems that Madam Wen was just being delusional.

……

It was clear that Madam Wen's task was impossible to complete, and Zhao Changsheng generally wouldn't force others to do so.

He would not force someone who has a connection with him.

Since it wouldn't work with Madam Wen, Zhao Changsheng would have to complete other tasks.

Therefore, Zhao Changsheng returned to the Tiannan cultivation world.

Yellow Maple Valley – Red Dust!

This is Zhao Changsheng's second goal, and also his second task.

After all, the Immortal-Slaying Pearl poses a certain threat to Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

For Zhao Changsheng now, this is quite a trump card.

Moreover, compared to Madam Wen's side, he felt that it would be easier for Hong Fu's side to complete the task, since the other party was only a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Even though she disliked handsome men because of past heartbreak, Zhao Changsheng still felt there was a chance.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Changsheng returned to the Tiannan cultivation world, he went straight to Huangfeng Valley.

The first person he sought out was not his target, Hong Fu, but a seemingly cunning and ugly old man, Linghu Laoguai, the Supreme Elder of Huangfeng Valley.

The two were actually close in age, but one was in the Nascent Soul stage, while the other was already in the Deity Transformation stage.

The difference in their strength and realm was like heaven and earth, and Linghu Laoguai never expected that Zhao Changsheng would still remember him.

Therefore, Linghu Laoguai was extremely surprised by Zhao Changsheng's arrival and warmly welcomed him.

"May I ask what brings you here, senior?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Linghu Laoguai finally asked the question he most wanted to ask.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the principle that one shouldn't visit a temple without a reason.

He could guarantee that Zhao Changsheng would never come to Huangfeng Valley to find him unless something came up.

Although the two had some acquaintance in their early years, it was only a superficial acquaintance.

This level of acquaintance wouldn't warrant Zhao Changsheng traveling thousands of miles just to catch up and reminisce.

Therefore, he could guarantee that Zhao Changsheng had definitely come for a reason.

This made Linghu Laoguai somewhat uneasy, and he felt no joy at all, after all, even a Nascent Soul cultivator had to ask for his help.

It was definitely an extremely difficult thing, which made him increasingly uneasy, but he had no choice but to ask it himself.

"What, can't I come here specifically to see you, old man?"

In response to Linghu Laoguai's question, Zhao Changsheng replied with a joking smile.

"Senior is too kind. What right does my old face have to warrant such a personal visit from you?"

Faced with Zhao Changsheng's teasing words, Linghu Laoguai also smiled and mocked himself.

"I can't hide it from you old codger after all. Since that's the case, I'll be frank. Actually, I want Hong Fu from your sect to be my concubine. Don't ask for the specific reason, I just want to know if you, old codger, agree?"

Zhao Changsheng nodded, and then bluntly stated his purpose for coming: he wanted Hong Fu to be his concubine.

He knew perfectly well that the old fox Linghu in front of him was a cunning old fox who only cared about profit and put the interests of the sect first.

So, I'm still confident.

To Zhao Changsheng's surprise, Linghu Laoguai shook his head and said apologetically.

"Senior, please forgive me. This matter is of great importance, and I need to consult Hong Fu's opinion. If he objects, I cannot agree. But before that, there is something I need to explain to you."

"I suffered a heartbreak years ago, so I have a reservations about a handsome man like you, so the chances of me agreeing are slim. Even if you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, I'm afraid she'll still feel the same way. Therefore, I ask that you not be angry if I reject you."

Zhao Changsheng did not refuse Linghu Lao's answer and request, but nodded in agreement.

"Since you old codger have spoken up, I'll naturally give you some face. Fine, even if she rejects me, I won't be angry, you can rest assured."

"In that case, thank you very much, senior."

After saying this, Linghu Laowai solemnly and gratefully bowed to Zhao Changsheng.

They seemed genuinely grateful for Zhao Changsheng's magnanimity.

Then, he sent a message talisman to Hong Fu.

"Please wait a moment, senior. I believe Hong Fu will arrive soon."

"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. Let's have some tea first. You old man, you're almost at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, aren't you?"

Zhao Changsheng nodded and then said with a smile.

Linghu Laoguai is currently at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, only a step away from the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Despite being separated by only a thin line, countless Nascent Soul cultivators have arrived.

Zhao Changsheng had spent a considerable amount of time before successfully breaking through, so he was well aware of the difficulties involved.

"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you, senior."

Linghu Laoguai nodded in response to Zhao Changsheng's words.

A sense of sadness welled up in my heart.

He and Zhao Changsheng were almost the same age, but their cultivation levels were worlds apart.

"What do you mean by 'effective' or 'ineffective'? You've already achieved something remarkable by cultivating to your current level; there's nothing to laugh about. I believe you'll be able to break through smoothly soon."

Zhao Changsheng took a sip of tea and smiled as he comforted him.

As for Zhao Changsheng's words of comfort, Linghu Laoguai could only apologize and had nothing else to say.

After receiving the message from Linghu Laoguai, Hong Fu didn't bother to continue her seclusion and rushed to Linghu Laoguai's cave at top speed.
