After sending away the light bulb, Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting walked on the beach in the golden red, facing the setting sun. The two of them walked side by side, touching each other's shoulders from time to time, and occasionally looking at each other and smiling unconsciously.

They walked along the beach for a long time. Practitioners were busy coming and going around them, but the two of them were immersed in their own pace and were not in a hurry.

The sun completely disappeared. Xi Yunting looked at the sky, turned his head and said to Chen Xiao, "Go back." His voice was indescribably deep and pleasant.

"Yeah." Chen Xiao nodded, and the two of them walked back.

The practitioners who came back this time no longer ignored them as they did before, but looked at the two slow people with strange eyes.

Yumen Water Realm is the largest training site near Yingxian Island and the closest water area. Because there is only one island here where you can log in and rest, even at night, there will be practitioners coming back from far away to go ashore.

These people were all in a hurry, even during the day, but in the evening everyone was rushing back to rest. This made the two independent people very eye-catching. So the walk was forced to stop, and the two people hurried back to the camp.

Lying in the tent at night, Chen Xiao asked Xi Yunting: "In the world of immortal cultivation, is our relationship very strange?"

Xi Yunting said: "Same-sex couples are still relatively rare, so it is inevitable that they will attract some strange looks. Don't worry, Xiao brother, it won't have any impact. If anything happens, I'll always be there for you, big brother."

People in the world of immortal cultivation either never fall in love for their whole lives and remain alone. After falling in love, there are three possible outcomes. The first is that the two are in love and their thoughts are clear, which has no adverse effects on cultivation. The second is that the love is fruitless, and the sword is used to cut off the love, breaking through the love tribulation, and the mind is clear, and there is no bad impact on cultivation. The worst is the last one, where the love is fruitless and there is no way to forget the love, resulting in depression in the heart, which also affects cultivation, and in serious cases, even regressing to a lower level.

Chen Xiao said softly: "I don't care. No matter what happens, I can face it side by side with you." From the moment the two of them were together, he had made up his mind that no matter what storms the future held, he would face them with strength.

The two of them just leaned against each other and chatted in low voices all night. It's not that they didn't want to get close to each other, but there was a beach not far from the camp, and practitioners would pass by from time to time, so there was really no condition for that.

The days that followed were just as Chen Xiao had expected, a beautiful and carefree time like a god. It could be said that it was the most leisurely time in his life from the previous life to this life. The two of them went up mountains and down seas, inseparable. If it wasn't for the appointed day, Chen Xiao would not want to leave.

Chen Xiao felt that his mental and physical condition had greatly improved. It can be seen that proper rest is more conducive to the next journey.

He was full of energy and spirit, and his skin glowed like wax. After climbing onto the boat from the sea water along the rope ladder on the side of the boat, Tong Nuonuo kept looking at him in confusion.

They also stayed here for seven days, so how come Chen Xiao was as smooth as a carefully maintained machine, but he was not in such good condition?

After returning smoothly to Linglang Valley to rest, there was still one day left before the time agreed with Li and Zhou, so Chen Xiao left Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru without any loyalty, and went to Zuixian Winery alone with Xi Yunting to have tea and a meal.

The biggest feature of Zuixian Winery is seafood, but Chen Xiao had eaten enough these days and only ordered ordinary dishes. Both of them were not short of money, so they chose the best box in Zuixian Winery. While eating, Chen Xiao heard a noise coming from outside the window.

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and put down his chopsticks: "What's going on? What happened?"

Xi Yunting stood up and walked to the bed. Seeing this, Chen Xiao also came over to look outside. He saw a group of people gathered not far from Zuixian Winery, discussing something loudly.

This group of people were talking at the same time, making a lot of noise, and it was impossible to tell what they were saying.

Xi Yunting pulled the drawstring in the box, and soon a waiter in a brown shirt came in and asked, "Guest, what can I do for you?"

Chen Xiao raised his chin: "Why is there so much noise outside?"

The waiter bowed and apologized, "I'm really sorry to have disturbed our guests. The date for the competition between Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion has been set, and it has just been announced that it will be three days later. Those independent cultivators outside were planning to come to our house on the day of the competition, hoping to ask Pavilion Master Hu for an explanation for a fellow cultivator who was implicated."

"You get up. A casual cultivator was implicated? What happened? Can you tell us?" Chen Xiao said.

The waiter stood up and said, "Since the customer asked, I will tell you. It is said that there was a conflict between the disciples of Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion, and an unrelated wandering cultivator happened to be present. Unfortunately, he was dragged into the fight and suffered severe injuries. I am afraid that his spiritual roots were destroyed and his cultivation level was completely ruined."

Xi Yunting had no expression on his face, but Chen Xiao was very surprised: "The main spiritual root is destroyed, does that mean that you can't practice anymore?"

The waiter nodded: "That's right. That casual cultivator is quite popular in Yingxian Island. These people feel sorry for him and want to ask Wanjin Pavilion for an explanation for the injury."

Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "Is it possible that the one who hurt someone is unwilling to pay compensation?"

The waiter did not elaborate, but only said vaguely: "It seems to be the case according to rumors, but..." Chen Xiao simply took out a spirit bead and slapped it on the table. Then he flicked it lightly, and the spirit bead rolled over and fell into the waiter's outstretched palm.

After receiving the reward, the clerk was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He said, "I heard that there is some inside story. Wanjin Pavilion was preparing for the competition and closed its doors to visitors. No matter what these casual cultivators did, they would not pay any attention to them. And that casual cultivator seemed to have some relationship with Qianxiufang. When the two sides were fighting, he barged in and angered the disciples of Wanjin Pavilion, but it was not considered an accidental injury."

After hearing the whole story, Chen Xiao immediately lost interest in the matter. Xi Yunting said to the waiter, "Close the window and go down."

After the window was closed, the sounds outside could still be heard. Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting had originally wanted to continue spending the afternoon here, so they had to change their minds and move to a quieter place.

On the second day, even in Linglang Valley, the impact of the competition between Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion could be felt. It was said that since yesterday, many people had come from other places, and many of them had settled in Linglang Valley alone. This made Chen Xiao speechless, this scene was no less than a grand event.

However, not everyone is lucky enough to watch this grand event. The venues for the Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion competitions are closed, and only those who are invited are qualified to attend. It is easy to imagine that those who are qualified must be famous figures in the Taizhen Zhongtian Realm, either with high cultivation or noble status.

While eating breakfast, Xi Yunting suddenly said, "Today I am going to visit an old friend of mine and see if I can get some qualifications to watch the competition between Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion nearby."

Tong Nuonuo was immediately excited when she heard this: "It would be great if I could go and see it in person! Over the years, I've only heard about it and never seen it with my own eyes."

Tang Ru also nodded and said, "It would be nice to be able to go and gain more knowledge. I'll ask Brother Xi to take care of it."

Xi Yunting said calmly, "You are too polite, Brother Tang." He looked at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao said, "Go ahead, big brother. I will go to meet Li Yuzhou with Nuonuo and Ah Rou today. We will come back after meeting him."

Last night alone, there were so many important people with status and accomplishments who came. Those who had some vision would not run around outside at this time, for fear of accidentally bumping into people they couldn't afford to offend. Xi Yunting was not afraid of offending someone he couldn't afford to offend, but was worried that Chen Xiao would suffer if he was not there.

The three of them left Linglang Valley and waited outside Zhencao Hall before the agreed time, chatting while waiting. After a while, Chen Xiao frowned. He estimated the time. It was past the agreed time with Li and Zhou, but he still hadn't shown up.

Chen Xiao said worriedly: "The time has passed, and Li and Zhou haven't come yet."

Tang Ru said: "Maybe he was delayed by something, let's wait a little longer."

Tong Nuonuo asked: "Do you know where he lives?"

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly: "If I had known, I would have asked last time."

There was nowhere to look, so they could only wait here. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Li and Zhou came running over, sweating all over.

While running, he shouted: "Xiao brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm late because of something——"

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm glad you're here."

Li and Zhou took a breath and asked, "Do you still have the ice velvet you sold me last time?"

Chen Xiao was stunned by his question, "No more, I gave them all to Zhencaotang."

Li Yuzhou was just hoping for a lucky break. Seeing Chen Xiao's answer, he was disappointed for a moment and then never mentioned it again. Li Yuzhou didn't have a storage bag, but he carried a large medicine box with him. He opened the box and said to Chen Xiao, "I have prepared all the potions you told me about last time. There are also some new potions, and some powders that are not strong, but have some special effects."

Li Yuzhou's medicine box was full of various medicine bottles, and Chen Xiao was shocked by the number. In addition to the previously ordered medicines, Li Yuzhou introduced the others one by one. In addition to some normal and expensive medicines, there were several special medicine powders mentioned by Li Yuzhou that really attracted Chen Xiao. One of them was to make people talk in their sleep, which was very strange and interesting.

Chen Xiao picked out Li Yuzhou's new medicine and some special powders and settled the bill with him.

Li Yuzhou held the medicine box and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao brother, can you take all the remaining medicines? I can give you a lower price."

Chen Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Why? Could it be that Brother Li really needs money?"

Li and Zhou did not hesitate and said directly: "That's right. One of my close friends was seriously injured and needs money for treatment."

Chen Xiao thought, it can't be such a coincidence, right? He asked tentatively, "Could your friend be the one who was implicated in the fight between Qianxiufang and Wanjin Pavilion?"

Li Yuzhou was stunned and nodded: "So Brother Xiao knows him. Yes, it is Liu Lang."

When Chen Xiao heard the name, he suddenly remembered the day when he encountered a fight and met the owner of Zizhilin Garden.
