Wu Xinzhi had imagined many times the ending of him and Ershun.

Some people think that he has finally saved enough money, sent back the marriage certificate, and Ershun will not marry anyone else; some people think that he has a wonderful encounter, builds his foundation in advance, and finds ways to return to Fan Village and meet Ershun again; some people think that he is pessimistic, and by the time Ershun hears from him, he is already very old...

No matter which idea it was, it was not as unreal as Er Shun coming to the Chongxuan Sect. No wonder he was shocked and at a loss.

The cultivator's memory was pretty good, but what he remembered was a teenage girl. With his poor imagination, he really couldn't imagine what Ershun would become when she grew up.

Even that lovely face gradually began to fade in his mind. He worried more than once that one day he would forget what she looked like, just like the feelings faded by time.

But in the end he discovered that the first love of youth would not be forgotten with the passage of time. When an opportunity arises, it would instantly rekindle.

The 26-year-old Ershun has a slim figure. Not only has she grown taller, but her fully opened face has become more beautiful than before.

Her moist almond eyes seemed to be about to cry or laugh. Her slender waist was so thin that it could be held in one hand. Her delicate posture made people feel pity and care for her like a camellia in the rain.

The completely different appearance in front of him completely replaced the silhouette of his youth. Wu Xinzhi only had her in his eyes and was stunned.

Wu Xinzhi was as stiff as a wooden stake. He opened his mouth and murmured, "Er Shun."

He thought his shouting was quite loud, but in fact it was just as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Er Shun's eyes turned red and he was about to cry. The two of them looked at each other quietly for a while until Chen Xiao interrupted them with a light cough.

Wu Xinzhi felt as if he was knocked, and then he noticed the person next to him. He recognized Zhao Fang first and hurriedly greeted him.

After all, it was Zhao Fang who led their team back to Chongxuan Sect, so it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the leader.

Xi Yunting is too mysterious because he appears so rarely.

Zhao Fang smiled and excused his greeting, pointing at Chen Xiao and said, "Wu Xinzhi, look, who is this?"

Wu Xinzhi returned his gaze to Chen Xiao's face and said hesitantly, "Who is this senior? Although he looks familiar, I am sorry that I cannot recognize him. Please forgive me."

Chen Xiao's stern face softened slightly and he said, "Sit down and talk."

Only then did Wu Xinzhi realize that the one giving orders here was actually the young man in front of him, while the powerful manager who was in charge of them did not even have the qualifications to enter.

His heart tightened, and he carefully sat down on the chair. Across from him, Er Shun walked over gracefully, and his eyes involuntarily followed her.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said nothing.

He found that Wu Xinzhi had matured a lot in the past ten years. He was less arrogant and more calm and humble. Regardless of whether this attitude was superficial or sincere, at least he knew how to deal with the current situation, so he would not cause trouble because of his attitude.

The fact that he was distracted by something and looked at Ershun showed that he still had feelings for Ershun, which solved most of the problem.

There were four people sitting there, but three of them were silent. Zhao Fang had no choice but to be the one to break the silence. He said to Wu Xinzhi, "Wu Xinzhi, you really didn't recognize him? This is Ershun's cousin, Chen Xiao, the Immortal Master."

Wu Xinzhi was stunned at first, and then shocked. "He is Ershun's cousin? I wonder which cousin he is?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It's interesting that you said that. I didn't know Er Shun had other cousins."

Er Shun couldn't bear to see his fiancé embarrassed, so he said, "Brother Wu, this is my uncle's cousin. When you participated in the selection of disciples, he came back specially to accompany me to watch. He was standing next to me at the time. Don't you remember?"

Wu Xinzhi was in doubt and looked at Chen Xiao again: "I remember, of course I remember. But your cousin is not..." Can't he cultivate immortality? And his name is not this either.

The name can be changed, but the spiritual roots cannot be replaced.

Wu Xinzhi was completely puzzled and could not figure out how a person without any talent for cultivating immortals could practice.

This was also the reason why he felt Chen Xiao looked familiar but did not think of him as Er Shun's relative at all.

Chen Xiao said lightly, "I had another opportunity, I got a unique skill, and entered the immortal way. I came here today not to talk about this." He stared at Wu Xinzhi sharply, which made him feel pressured. "Let me ask you, what is your plan for the marriage between you two? Today, in front of Ershun, tell him clearly. Ershun has been waiting for you for nearly twelve years, from a young girl to now. How many decades in a person's life can withstand such a waste. Don't say that you have been doing nothing."

Wu Xinzhi clenched his fists and said anxiously, "Of course I have a plan! I have accumulated some savings over the years. When I reach the middle stage of the body refining period, I can take on some tasks with higher pay. When I have saved enough money, I plan to send a letter home!"

Chen Xiao said coldly: "Wait until you send home a letter of divorce?"

Wu Xinzhi paused, drooped his shoulders dejectedly, and lowered his head: "I admit that I was too self-righteous and arrogant at the beginning. I didn't think about today at all, and I didn't think about Ershun. At that time, I shouldn't have been so willful and only cared about my own feelings and refused to break off the engagement with Ershun."

Ershun's breathing was trembling, and he said, "I understand what you mean. I agree to break off the engagement with you."

Wu Xinzhi raised his head, stood up, walked to Ershun, bent down and held her hand: "I just blame myself for being young and ignorant, and wasting your time. I am powerless to change the fact that we are far apart. I have blamed myself for being rash more than once. But I have never dared to forget the promise I made to you. I thought about sending you a marriage certificate before, but that was because I couldn't go back and I had no choice. Now that you are here, I will try my best to ask the master for permission to let you stay, so that the days of separation between the two of us will never happen again."

Ershun burst into tears and choked up as he said, "It's not your fault. We made the decision together. We were both young and ignorant, which led to that result."

Wu Xinzhi squatted down, held her hands with both hands, and asked softly: "Ershun, are you still willing to marry me?"

Ershun didn't say anything, tears streaming down her face, and she nodded.

Chen Xiao had been watching the two talking, and now he stood up and said, "You two have been apart for so long, I think you have a lot to talk about. Ershun, you talk to Wu Xinzhi here, I'll be back soon."

Er Shun was happy but she didn't forget Chen Xiao's feelings. She quickly stood up, wiped her tears and said, "Brother Xiao, go ahead if you have something to do."

Wu Xinzhi stood beside him and hesitated for a moment before finding a suitable address: "Uncle, thank you very much."

Chen Xiao waved his hand and walked out of the room with Zhao Fang.

Chen Xiao asked Zhao Fang to ask the steward to arrange a place for Er Shun to stay. It was already late, and it was not suitable to rush back. After Zhao Fang gave the order, he smiled and said to Chen Xiao: "Senior Chen, don't worry. I think Wu Xinzhi is a smart man and will treat Miss Chen well."

Chen Xiao sighed softly when he heard this, "As long as Er Shun thinks it's worth it, this is her life after all." When he was still in Daiguo, it was not that there were no suitable candidates, but the rare thing was that Er Shun liked him herself.

Er Shun's persistence finally brought about a good result, and Chen Xiao felt much more relaxed.

After asking Zhao Fang, I learned that there are also disciples who are married within the Chongxuan Sect, and these couples are arranged to live together.

But how to hold a wedding in the Chongxuan Sect was something Chen Xiao had no idea about, and Zhao Fang didn't know either when he asked him.

Chen Xiao had dinner with Ershun, whose eyes were a little red and swollen from crying. He left Zhao Fang to take care of the place and went back to the Zhenwo Building in Youkunshan.

When Chen Xiao came back, Xi Yunting had not come back yet.

At first Chen Xiao didn't care too much, but when it was past midnight and he hadn't come back yet, Chen Xiao became a little worried.

At this moment, the resentment that he had felt during the day had completely disappeared, and Chen Xiao was so anxious that he paced around the room.

It was windy and dark outside. Chen Xiao had not yet figured out the completely unfamiliar terrain, not to mention the small palaces on Shaokun Mountain. He had no idea where Xi Yunting was.

She sat there until dawn, almost becoming like a stone waiting for her husband to leave. Only then did Xi Yunting come in with a cold look on her face.

"Why didn't you come back all night?"

"You didn't sleep all night?"

The two people spoke at the same time.

Chen Xiao approached him and said worriedly, "How can I sleep well when you didn't even leave a letter?"

Xi Yunting hugged him guiltily, "I'm sorry to have made you worry. Fortunately, you didn't stay with Brother Jing, otherwise you would have been waiting in vain."

Chen Xiao tilted his head and asked softly, "Did something happen? Can't you tell me?"

Xi Yunting hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "It's my master."

Chen Xiao's heart tightened, "Isn't Master Taisu in seclusion?"

Xi Yunting shook his head and said, "That was just an excuse he made up because he didn't want me to find out something was wrong. After I said goodbye to you yesterday, I went to look for my senior brother and then to see Master. I found that Master's condition was even worse than before I left."

Chen Xiao suddenly felt very guilty. He had never thought that something had happened to Taisu. Xi Yunting must have been very anxious at that time, but he was just busy with his wild thoughts.

"How is Master Taisu doing now?"

"He is even sleepier than before I left. The disciple who was waiting on him told us the truth after being questioned by me and my senior brother. Master's body has also begun to age and has become much weaker than Qian." Xi Yunting sat on the couch weakly. "Master has always wanted to solve it himself, so he kept it a secret from us."

Chen Xiao, with a heavy mood, slowly sat down next to Xi Yunting.

Having been here for so long, he certainly knew that cultivators would also grow old and die, but this situation would only occur to those who were unable to advance and were stuck at one level.

"I remember you told me that Master Taisu's cultivation was at the late stage of fusion? That should mean he has a very long lifespan."

Xi Yunting nodded, "That's right, this is an unusual situation."

"Is there any solution to this problem?" Chen Xiao asked.

"The eldest senior brother has invited the head uncle, uncle Tai Sheng, and several elders to discuss the matter. This matter cannot be announced to the public for the time being." Xi Yunting said.

"Then I can't go to visit Master Taisu for the time being?" Chen Xiao said.

"Master was awake once, and he specifically told me to take you to see him." Xi Yunting said, "I came back to take you there."
