Chen Tianwen was initially somewhat surprised that Ao Huang would actually be willing to part with Xue Shu and even take the initiative to let her leave. Was this still Ao Huang?

However, after Xue Shu explained, Chen Tianwen understood the reason.

It turned out that he was provoked by Shi Yan. Ao Huang originally thought that after obtaining the Black Dragon's inheritance, he would definitely take off and leave Shi Yan far behind.

However, the reality was quite different. Ao Huang spent his days entangled with Xue Shu, allowing Shi Yan to overtake him in strength.

Ao Huang was reluctant to part with Xue Shu, but also did not want to be surpassed by Shi Yan. Therefore, if he wanted to cultivate seriously, Xue Shu coming to the Xuanxian Realm was obviously the best choice.

Moreover, Ao Huang believed that with Xue Shu's aptitude, it would be impossible for her to cultivate to the point of ascension, while he himself, by focusing wholeheartedly on cultivation, would be able to ascend to the Xuanxian Realm in just a few decades.

Rather than waiting for himself to ascend first and being separated from Xue Shu for a long time, it would be better to let Xue Shu ascend first. He would only need a few decades to reunite with Xue Shu.

Moreover, in Ao Huang's view, Xue Shu's ability to be valued by Chao Shengzong was also an opportunity, which is why Ao Huang earnestly persuaded Xue Shu to agree.

After hearing Xue Shu's explanation, Chen Tianwen was speechless. This Ao Huang was as simple-minded as ever.

The Xuanxian Realm is not an easy place to survive.

Even after Ao Huang ascended to immortality, without Chen Tianwen's help, it's unknown how long it would take to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Without the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to cross a great domain to find Xue Shu!

Neither the spatial turbulence at night nor the dangers and expenses along the way were things that Ao Huang could afford.

The most critical issue now is that Xue Shu has become the Holy Maiden of Chao Shengzong, which creates a huge gap between her and Ao Huang's status. It won't be so easy for Ao Huang to be with Xue Shu now!

However, Chen Tianwen did not tell Xue Shu these things. Instead, he talked about his last return to the Xuan Tian Realm, where he met Ao Huang and told Xue Shu about Ao Huang's recent situation.

Xue Shu listened with tears in her eyes, her longing for Ao Huang overflowing!

Fairy Lanxin simply sat there, truly playing the role of a listener, without uttering a single word from beginning to end.

However, when she heard anything about Chen Tianwen, Fairy Lanxin would turn her body slightly to the side and listen very attentively.

"Brother Chen, it's so good to see you. From what you've said, Ao Huang will soon be able to ascend, which will make all my years of hard work worthwhile."

Xue Shu wiped her eyes and spoke.

Seeing Xue Shu's distressed expression, Chen Tianwen wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to begin. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he asked:

"Xue Shu, will your sect participate in the interdimensional war?"

"Interdimensional War? What's that?"

Xue Shu looked completely bewildered, having never heard of the interdimensional war before.

Chen Tianwen was somewhat surprised. How could Xue Shu, as the Holy Maiden of Chao Shengzong, not have heard of such a major event as the Realm War?

Fairy Lanxin smiled and said to Xue Shu:

"Xue Shu, Young Master Chen and I still have things to discuss. You should focus on your cultivation. I've also heard news about your old friend, so don't look so haggard. Take good care of yourself; you have your coming-of-age ceremony the day after tomorrow."

Xue Shu nodded obediently. Getting news of Ao Huang from Chen Tianwen was undoubtedly the happiest thing for Xue Shu in many years.

Then, Fairy Lanxin gave Chen Tianwen a wink before turning and leaving the room.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Tianwen took out some elixirs from his robes and handed them to Xue Shu:

"Xue Shu, these elixirs each have their uses. Keep them with you in case you need them."

After Xue Shu thanked him, Chen Tianwen also took his leave.

As soon as Chen Tianwen stepped out of the room, he saw Fairy Lanxin waiting for him in the courtyard.

A peach tree was planted in the courtyard, an ordinary peach tree, but at this moment the peach blossoms were in full bloom. However, compared with the fairy Lanxin, it was somewhat overshadowed.

Chen Tianwen approached Fairy Lanxin and said:

"Sister Lan, what's wrong?"

Chen Tianwen was puzzled as to why Fairy Lanxin interrupted him and gestured for him to leave as soon as he mentioned the interdimensional war.

Instead of directly answering Chen Tianwen's question, Fairy Lanxin looked at him with amusement and said:

"Young Master Chen looks kind, but I never expected him to be such a romantic."

Chen Tianwen felt a little embarrassed, knowing that Fairy Lanxin must have overheard Xue Shu saying that he had married Hua Qingyue and Xia Anyu in the mortal realm.

Fortunately, you don't know yet, but I also have a younger sister named Qin Zhiruo...

Chen Tianwen was startled by his own thoughts, wondering why he felt guilty in front of Fairy Lanxin.

Fairy Lanxin gave a soft snort and muttered something:

"Just like him."

"Sister Lan, what did you say?"

"No, it's nothing."

To cover up her earlier words, Fairy Lanxin quickly changed the subject, saying:

“Our Chaosheng Sect never participates in inter-realm wars. Xue Shu is currently focused on cultivation, so Young Master Chen should not let so many outside matters disturb her.”

Chen Tianwen frowned and asked:

"Sister Lan, did you know before that Xue Shu and my brother became Daoist partners?"

Fairy Lanxin nodded. Of course she knew this, otherwise she wouldn't have approached Chen Tianwen.

Chen Tianwen continued:

"So, Sister Lan, after my brother ascends to immortality, what are your plans for Xue Shu and the other two?"

Fairy Lanxin sighed and said:

"Unless Xue Shu refuses to become the Holy Maiden of Chao Sheng Sect, or your brother marries into our Chao Sheng Sect."

"However, your brother is willing to come to our Chao Shengzong!"

"Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky..."

Lanxin Fairy's voice grew softer and softer until it turned into a mournful lament.

Chen Tianwen clicked his tongue in amazement. Ao Huang was really open-minded. But since Ao Huang had a choice, then when he met Ao Xing, the domain lord of Changtang Domain, he would have Ao Xing bring Ao Huang here to reunite with Xue Shu.

However, Chen Tianwen heard Lan Xin Fairy's subsequent words clearly. Thinking back to when Lan Xin Fairy was teasing him earlier, Chen Tianwen decided to tease this beautiful immortal lord in return:

"Sister Lan, from what you're saying, your Daoist partner didn't choose to marry into Chao Shengzong to be with you back then?"

Chen Tianwen's words, which were meant as a joke, seemed to have stirred up endless thoughts in Fairy Lanxin.

Fairy Lanxin did not answer, but sighed and turned to slowly walk outside.

Seeing Lan Xin's expression, Chen Tianwen realized he had said the wrong thing, but now he couldn't explain or not explain, so he could only follow behind Lan Xin.
