After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

I stood side by side with Ao Tianxin on the phoenix carriage and chatted for a long time.

Lin Chu noticed that she had changed a lot when she saw her again this time.

Back in the Xuan Tian Realm, Ao Tianxin always treated him with a certain distance.

She clearly wanted to get closer, but she always kept her distance, hiding her concern deep inside, afraid of being seen through.

After ascending to immortality, it seemed as if he had figured something out; his gaze was open and passionate.

I'll get straight to the point.

I no longer hesitate to do what I want to do.

"You've changed." Lin Chu looked at her.

Ao Tianxin raised an eyebrow: "What's changed?"

I can't quite explain it.

"In the past, you definitely wouldn't have kissed me first."

Upon hearing this, Ao Tianxin blushed slightly, then readily admitted, "After ascending, I've come to understand many things."

She gazed at the horizon where the sea met the sky in the distance.

"The path of cultivation is too long; who knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."

As she said this, she turned to look at Lin Chu, her eyes shining.

"Since you've decided it's you, why wait?"

Lin Chu felt a surge of warmth in her heart after hearing what she said, and reached out to take her hand.

Their fingers are intertwined.

A sea breeze brushed against her face. Lin Chu looked into her eyes and spoke.

"Heavenly Heart".

Ao Tianxin looked up.

"Come with me."

A faint blush rose to Ao Tianxin's face.

She turned her face away, looked into the distance, and asked softly, "Where are we going?"

"Tianlan City."

Ao Tianxin remained silent for a few moments, then nodded gently.

"it is good."

Lin Chu smiled.

Ao Tianxin added, "However, I can't completely abandon the Ao clan."

"Chief Ao Yu has been kind to me. Before she went into seclusion, she entrusted the clan to my care. I can't just abandon it like this."

Lin Chu smiled.

"Leave it to me."

Ao Tianxin was taken aback.

"Have you forgotten who I am now?"

Ao Tianxin suddenly realized, "That makes sense."

She had been an ascensionist for so many years; how could she not know the significance of the Taixu Lin Clan?

With just those four words, the four clans of Longyuan would tremble.

"Then... I won't stand on ceremony with you," she said softly.

"You shouldn't have been so polite with me in the first place."

The two smiled at each other.

"Let's go back."

The two transformed into streaks of light and returned to Wanlongtai.

When they returned, many people noticed them immediately.

"They're back, they're back."

"Tsk, this trip will take quite a while."

"Do we even need to guess what the relationship was just now?"

"Keep your voice down! You dare to slander the Lin family?"

Whispers rose and fell like the tide.

Lin Chu ignored him and led Ao Tianxin back to the Tianlan group.

Before I even got close, a petite figure came running towards me.

"elder brother!"

Ji Ning tilted her little face up, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Chu gently patted the top of her head.

Ji Ning then looked at Ao Tianxin and called out in a clear, sweet voice, "Sister Tianxin!"

Ao Tianxin smiled, bent down, and rubbed her head.

"Ji Ning is so good."

The little girl's eyes crinkled into crescent moons from the praise.

Lin Chu took Ao Tianxin's hand and looked around at everyone.

Before he could even speak, Qi Jun jumped out.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

He shouted with great vigor, which amused the young men and women around him.

Lin Chu glanced at him helplessly, but didn't say anything.

Ao Tianxin smiled, her lips curving slightly, and did not refute, but simply nodded to Qi Jun.

With this nod, the group behind him instantly understood.

"Sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

"Sister-in-law, does this mean we can do whatever we want from now on?"

Lin Chu turned around and glanced at them.

The group immediately fell silent, but each of them wore a smile.

Lin Chu ignored these clowns and continued introducing everyone to Ao Tianxin.

"These are all young men from various families in Tianlan City. They are close to me and have become a bit unruly. They are all so undisciplined."

"Third Young Master, you're mistaken. We're just being true to ourselves!"

"that is!"

Qi Jun jumped out and bowed eagerly, saying, "Sister-in-law, my name is Qi Jun!"

"The Qi family?" Ao Tianxin glanced at him again.

Lin Chu nodded, then added with a half-smile.

"The Feather Saint sought refuge with their family."

Qi Jun's smile froze for a moment.

He glanced quickly at Lin Chu, then at Ao Tianxin, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

But in the end, he didn't ask a single question.

He couldn't ask unless Lin Chu brought it up herself.

This is the thing he has become most proficient at since he followed Lin Chu for so long.

Ao Tianxin nodded to Qi Jun as a greeting.

Qi Jun quickly returned the greeting.

Lin Chu then looked at the four sword servants.

"These are Firefly, Moon Bearer, Azure Frost, and Soaring Wanderer. They are the sword attendants my mother sent, who have been with me since I was a child."

The four women stepped forward and bowed to Ao Tianxin.

"Greetings, Miss Ao."

Ao Tianxin returned the greeting, her gaze sweeping over the four people one by one.

Immortal.

All four are true immortals.

Moreover, they all looked very young.

She felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Any one of these four exceptionally talented women at the True Immortal stage could serve as the face of a clan in Longyuan.

But here, he was merely Lin Chu's sword attendant.

The Lin family's resources are indeed terrifying.

Just as the atmosphere was getting warmed up, a laugh came from outside the crowd.

"Young Master Lin, Miss Ao, this old man has come to ask for your presence."

The group looked in the direction of the sound.

Ying Qian walked over with a smile, followed by a pale-faced young man with his head bowed.

It is indeed a business opportunity.

Lin Chu glanced at Ao Tianxin.

Ao Tianxin, however, remained calm, even with a smile in her eyes.

Ying Qian pulled Ying Shang forward, first bowing to Lin Chu, then looking at Ao Tianxin.

"This old man has brought this good-for-nothing brat to apologize."

After saying that, he glared at the supplier.

"Aren't you going to say anything!"

Ying Shang trembled, stepped forward, and said in a tight voice, "Miss Ao, I apologize for my previous offense."

Ao Tianxin scrutinized him.

"It's all in the past."

His voice was calm, without a trace of anger.

Ying Shang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed again.

Lin Chu saw it all and understood perfectly.

Ying Qian came here to give a preventative check-up.

The two had talked about it before on the imperial carriage.

Ying Shang had previously acted as an intermediary for Cang Li, which offended Ao Tianxin. Now that he knows about the relationship between Ao Tianxin and Lin Chu, he is afraid of being retaliated against later, so he quickly came over to give an explanation.

That old man is very shrewd.

Ji Ning peeked out from behind Lin Chu and stared at Ying Shang for several moments.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, she pointed at him, and opened her mouth.

"You are that giant snake!"

As soon as she said it, she covered her mouth and hid behind Lin Chu.

Upon hearing this, Ying Shang was somewhat puzzled.

What giant snake?

Lin Chu was both amused and exasperated.

"It's not a giant snake," he corrected, looking down. "It's a dragon."

Ji Ning muttered softly, "But it doesn't have horns..."

Ying Shang's body stiffened, and his face instantly turned red.

Liu Ying and Xian Yue exchanged a glance and almost burst out laughing.

Ao Tianxin couldn't help but smile.

Lin Chuchao cupped his hands in response to Shang's request.

"My younger sister is young and speaks without thinking; please don't take offense, brother."

"No, no, not at all." Ying Shang waved his hands repeatedly, "Miss Ning is so frank and lovely."

Ying Qian interrupted at the right moment, bowed to Lin Chu and said, "In that case, I will not disturb you any longer. Thank you for your understanding regarding today's matter, Young Master Lin."

Lin Chu waved her hand: "Senior, you flatter me. I should thank you for helping to deliver the message this time."

Ying Qian stroked his beard and smiled, "It's nothing, nothing at all."

After saying that, he left with the supplier.
