“You Shuang, I want to ask you a question.” The village private school would dismiss students at three or four o’clock every afternoon. During this time, Xu Chen would always come to the school gate to pick up Lin You Shuang and take her back to her room, or they would stroll around together.
"Ask away, I promise I'll tell you everything I know." Lin Youshuang gave Xu Chen a deep look. Was this kid going to confess his feelings to her like in those romance novels? What should she do? Should she refuse or agree? What if she refused and he left? If she agreed... oh, how embarrassing! What should she do, Grandpa?
"What I want to ask is... um... well..." Xu Chen hesitated, unsure whether he should ask. The girl clearly had a sect, so why hadn't she returned for so long? Had they had a fight? Or had the sect kicked her out? Or was she simply out having fun? Xu Chen was genuinely curious, but what if he asked the wrong question and the girl got angry? So he stammered a bit.
"I...I...I'll give you an answer next year!" Seeing Xu Chen's stammering appearance, Lin Youshuang was even more certain of her thoughts. Her pretty face turned red, and she directly replied with a sentence that left Xu Chen completely baffled, before running away like a little rabbit.
"You Shuang?!" Xu Chen froze on the spot. What had he done to her that caused such a big reaction? "I still haven't asked that question. Could it be that she's really been expelled from the sect as I suspected?" Xu Chen shook his head as he watched her departing figure and slowly followed.
In the following days, Lin Youshuang seemed to have become a different person. She would inexplicably try to stay away from Xu Chen when she saw him. Sometimes she would look at Xu Chen from a short distance away, and after making eye contact with him, she would quickly look away. Every afternoon after school, Xu Chen could not find Lin Youshuang at all, so it seemed that she had left early.
"Strange, what did I do to her?" Xu Chen was still baffled. After thinking it over, he decided to talk to Lin Youshuang directly to see why she seemed like a different person and was so afraid of him.
"You Shuang! Don't go!" Xu Chen arrived early on purpose. Seeing Lin You Shuang in a hurry to leave, he quickly stopped her. In the village, Lin You Shuang could not fly. She looked at Xu Chen with a flushed face, then turned her head to look elsewhere.
"You Shuang, why have you been avoiding me these past few days? Did I do something wrong to upset you?"
"Hey, you... you didn't make me angry... Aunt Wang is waiting for me to help her water the plants, I'll go now."
"You Shuang, what's wrong with you? Tell me!" Xu Chen said helplessly.
"I..." Lin Youshuang stared straight at Xu Chen, as if she wanted to tell him what was on her mind. At this moment, Xiao Hu walked up to the two of them.
"Sir, my mother wants you to come home for dinner."
Having caught their breath, Lin Youshuang quickly left with Xiaohu, leaving Xu Chen bewildered in the wind.
"This girl, does she know I'm going to ask her why she left the sect?" Xu Chen thought for a moment, and that seemed to be the only reason. He shook his head and returned to the spaceship.
"Sister Xiaobai, how much longer will it take to repair the spaceship?"
"It's been fixed."
Xu Chen was startled. He stepped out of the cabin and glanced at the hull. Finding it intact, he returned to the cabin and muttered to himself, "Should we go straight back to the sect? Should I tell her?"
Fortunately, he stepped out of the cabin, his divine sense covering the entire village, and found Lin Youshuang. At that moment, she was holding a large pork knuckle, staring blankly, not eating it but just holding it in her hand. After sensing that he was probing with his divine sense, she went outside and saw Xu Chen walking towards her.
"You Shuang... I'm going back... I'm going back to the sect first," Xu Chen looked at Lin You Shuang, wanting to say it readily, but he was still somewhat incoherent in front of this girl.
"Go back now," Lin Youshuang said expressionlessly, as if issuing a dismissal order.
"You Shuang, I will come back to see you."
"Get out of here." Lin Youshuang expressed her anger with all her might, then turned away so that Xu Chen wouldn't see her tears.
“Young…” Xu Chen was very sad. He looked back every few steps before finally leaving the place.
Back inside the ship, Xu Chen sat quietly, looking at the control panel that was about to be activated, and asked Xiao Bai a question.
"Sister Xiaobai, tell me, why did Youshuang become like this?"
She likes you.
"Ah... Sister Xiaobai, how did you know?"
"I analyzed a massive amount of data on romantic relationships between men and women. Her behavior shows that she doesn't want you to leave, she cares about your feelings, in short, she likes you. Don't you know that yourself?"
"She likes me?" Xu Chen muttered to himself, unaware that the spaceship had already taken off.
"Ready to go. Destination: Tianquan Star."
After a burst of acceleration, the spaceship entered the planet's atmosphere. Xu Chen glanced at the green planet and said to Xiaobai, "Sister Xiaobai, remember our location here..."
"Lin Youshuang is not far away, shouldn't we go and see her?"
Xu Chen quickly opened the cabin door and looked at Lin Youshuang, who was crying.
"You Shuang!" He felt a pang of heartache, especially after listening to Xiao Bai's explanation, he understood the girl's feelings. He flew forward and hugged her tightly.
"Xu Chen, you idiot!"
"Yes, yes, I'm an idiot, I'm a big idiot." The two hugged like that until even Xiaobai couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"You Shuang! Come back to the sect with me!"
"Ah, I..." Lin Youshuang thought Xu Chen would say he would stay, but she didn't expect Xu Chen to want to take her back to the sect directly.
"You Shuang, don't you want to?"
Lin Youshuang nodded, but then said, "I'm willing, but I have to go... I have to ask Grandpa's opinion."
"Come on, let's go see your grandfather first!"
Inside the Danhe Sect, a group of elders stared at the couple, their faces ashen, speechless with indignation.
"Shuang'er, are you sure you want to go with him?"
"Shuang'er, do you know which sect he belongs to?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Youshuang immediately realized what was going on and quickly asked Xu Chen, "Xu Chen, I don't think I've ever asked you which sect you're from."
"Tianquan Sect".
"ah...."
"It's actually the Tianquan Sect?!"
“You Shuang, no, you absolutely cannot go back to the sect with him.”
Upon hearing this, all the elders spoke loudly to Lin Youshuang.
Lin Youshuang had only heard of this sect by chance, after all, the Danhe Sect had been living in seclusion for a long time, but the elders had a deep memory of the Tianquan Sect.
"Elders, Grandpa, isn't Tianquan Sect good enough?" Lin Youshuang asked, voicing her true thoughts.
Xu Chen was completely bewildered. Was his sect really that unpopular in various star regions?
"Shuang'er, do you still remember what I told you about our sect's Myriad Gods Cauldron when we were little?"
Lin Youshuang nodded, and Lin Tianhe continued, "The current Myriad Gods Cauldron is in the Tianquan Sect."
