Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

The Tai Xuan Gate is surrounded by towering mountains.

A streak of light shot into the sky, hurtling towards the main peak...

Outside a cave at the summit of the main peak.

"Master!"

A handsome young man adjusted his robes and bowed towards the entrance of the cave.

"Um..."

"Excellent, you truly haven't disappointed your teacher!"

"He really mastered that Xuan Cauldron and successfully entered the mid-Nascent Soul stage..."

At that moment, Huang Tianhua's voice came from the cave.

The reason why Huang Tianhua did not continue watching the game after announcing Su Chen and Lin Wanwan's engagement is that...

They were waiting for this disciple.

"Master!"

"I personally promised my disciple this a hundred years ago!"

"Once this disciple breaks through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and masters the inheritance cauldron of our sect!"

"Then you shall betroth Junior Sister Wanwan to this disciple!"

"Can..."

"How could you possibly marry Junior Sister Wanwan off to some worthless disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect!"

At this moment, the young man, with a dark expression, bowed again towards the cave dwelling.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you question my decisions!"

"Jiang Yun, what's wrong with you!"

"You are the pride of our sect, how can your Dao heart still be so immature!"

A powerful aura, typical of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, instantly emanated from the cave.

"Master!"

"Over the years, this disciple has devoted himself to the cultivation of the Mystic Cauldron!"

"It's all for Junior Sister Wanwan, you..."

Jiang Yun slammed his fist into the floor tile.

"Don't blame your teacher!"

"All of this is for the long-term benefit of our sect."

Huang Tianhua's tone softened somewhat.

"Long-term considerations?"

"What's so special about a true disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect?"

"He's just a lowly servant at the Golden Core stage..."

"Master, have you lost your mind?!"

"He even made his junior sister Wanwan become his concubine!"

"This disciple absolutely denies this!"

Jiang Yun roared at that moment.

"Jiang Yun!"

"Twenty years ago, I asked both of you this question in person."

"But your junior sister said that back then."

"My feelings for you are purely out of respect for my elder brother; there is absolutely no romantic affection whatsoever!"

"You've forgotten all of this?"

Huang Tianhua sighed.

"But Junior Sister doesn't have any feelings for Su Chen either!"

"Wasn't it all because of you, Master?"

"Rather than this, I might as well force my junior sister to marry me!"

At this moment, Jiang Yun himself didn't even know how he could say such a thing.

"presumptuous!"

"What does your petty romantic feelings matter when you claim to be the foundation of our clan's future for a thousand years?"

"We'll talk about it later!"

"You are the pride of our sect, and I have even bestowed upon you the sect's heirloom, the Mysterious Cauldron!"

"Your teacher has done a good job guiding you!"

How could you be so foolish?

"With your talent, what female cultivator wouldn't you have as a concubine? What fairy wouldn't you be able to get?"

"Step back!"

At that moment, Huang Tianhua snorted coldly.

Jiang Yun's body trembled.

But no matter how much he shouted, his master remained silent.

Clearly, his master would not pay any attention to him.

...

A gentle breeze swept through the attic...

A slender finger poked Su Chen's face.

"Leave me alone!"

Su Chen turned around...

"Hello!"

"Hey hey hey hey!"

"You idiot, haven't you had enough sleep?!"

"You've been sleeping all day."

"I said you're a pig!!!"

Lin Wanwan spoke with a bored expression, while constantly poking Su Chen.

Su Chen then squinted and glanced at it.

The sky outside the window was fiery red; before I knew it, it was already dusk.

The bamboo grove rustled in the wind...

"Anyway, I'm just sitting here..."

"It's all because of you that I have to be locked up in this attic now!"

"Before the conference ended, in order to put the two elders at ease."

"I have to keep you company, you saintess, and put on a show here!"

"Not sleeping?"

"What else can you do if you don't sleep?"

Su Chen stretched and yawned...

Lin Wanwan pouted and leaned back on the soft couch.

A pair of jade-like feet dangled to the side, swaying back and forth.

"I never expected that you, a true disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect, would be like this."

"You're always so talkative."

"It turns out he was a real taciturn guy behind the scenes!"

Lin Wanwan lifted her leg and pointed her toes in Su Chen's direction.

"hehe!"

"I never expected the Iceberg Saintess of the Tai Xuan Sect."

"Normally, she's a cold, aloof fairy who keeps everyone at arm's length."

"Secretly, he's actually quite talkative!"

"What, was your usual aloofness just an act?"

Su Chen glanced at her and teased her.

"Pack?"

"This saintess has never pretended."

"It's just that those people aren't familiar with me."

"What does it matter to me what they think?"

Lin Wanwan snorted coldly.

Then he changed to a more comfortable position and put one leg on the chair next to him.

Her long, slender legs beneath the gauze skirt were not at all concealed from Su Chen.

"In short..."

"I'm just idling around anyway."

"How about we talk about your Falling Cloud Sect?"

"Anyway, I'll have to marry into your Luoyun Sect sooner or later..."

"Or perhaps we could talk about how you, as a true disciple, are doing in the Falling Cloud Sect?"

"I'm curious, how did you manage to break my sword technique with your Golden Core cultivation level?"

Lin Wanwan turned over.

"There's not much to talk about..."

"I am in the Falling Cloud Sect."

"To put it bluntly, he's just a spoiled brat cultivator with a Nascent Soul master as his backer."

"That's all..."

Su Chen straightened his robes and jumped down from the windowsill.

"You're so boring!"

Lin Wanwan almost laughed out of anger at this moment.

"You really want to talk..."

"I don't mind talking to you about dual cultivation."

"After all, your master said that we must practice dual cultivation."

"Besides, this is your duty as a future Daoist partner!"

Su Chen said with a mischievous grin.

These words should be enough to shut this woman up.

I'm afraid this woman will get angry and call me a lecher.

I have to avoid it like the plague...

"Dual cultivation..."

"also..."

"It's not impossible..."

Upon hearing Lin Wanwan's words, Su Chen's lips twitched.

Is this woman definitely some aloof and proud saintess who is devoted to mystical cultivation?

Could it be that she was possessed while she was sleeping?

It seems that the cultivators of Qingzhou have a deep misunderstanding of themselves.

There is an even greater misunderstanding about this saintess.

Where is that iceberg that can't be warmed up?

It's clearly a chattering volcano!

hehe...

"Senior Sister Wanwan!"

At that moment, the voices of Tai Xuan Sect disciples could be heard from outside the window.

Su Chen and Lin Wanwan peered out the window.

"Senior Sister Wanwan, the competition has already concluded..."

"Lu Fengli of the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion defeated Wang Mang of the Cloud Sect, gaining another champion!"

"besides..."

"Senior Brother Jiang Yun has emerged from seclusion."

"I'm waiting outside the bamboo grove right now."

"He said he wanted to visit his senior sister..."

"He also said he brought a gift for his senior sister this time, and that she would definitely like it."

A disciple bowed towards the pavilion.

"Wang Mang lost to Lu Feng?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

"What! Senior Brother Jiang wants to see me?"

Lin Wanwan frowned at this moment.

At that moment, Su Chen and Lin Wanwan exchanged a shocked glance.

...
