Several hours later, Xu Chen and Lin Tianhe walked out of the sect.
“Boy, I originally wanted to keep your identity a secret, but the elders all said they wanted to investigate you, and I couldn’t stop them.”
"Thank you, Grandpa. I... I will persuade my master's wife to return the Myriad Gods Cauldron."
"No need, kid," Lin Tianhe said with relief. "It's fate that you met me and Shuang'er. This kind of fate shouldn't bring trouble to you or Shuang'er."
Xu Chen said eagerly, "Grandpa, I will come back. I will definitely come back to marry Shuang'er."
"Grandpa thanks you for your affection for Shuang'er, but the grudges between our two sects go beyond this Myriad Gods Cauldron. You will face great obstacles, and Shuang'er will also pay a heavy price for your relationship. Today, I have put her in solitary confinement as another form of protection."
"Grandpa, is there really no way to turn things around?"
"Yes, you will leave your sect and become a son-in-law of my Danhe Sect."
Xu Chen remained silent. Becoming a son-in-law of the Danhe Sect meant abandoning his elder brother, the elders, and everything he had achieved in the Tianquan Sect over the past few decades.
"Alright, I was just saying that. You don't need to feel bad. We are destined to meet, but unfortunately, the feud between our two families is still there. Young man, see you later."
...
After recounting her memories of the Danhe Sect, it was already dawn. Qin Ziyue looked at Xu Chen with a playful expression and said jokingly, "Do you really want me to send this letter? It sounds like the Danhe Sect isn't your ally, but rather like the family of your first love."
"Give it a try, senior. I am still young and my cultivation is too weak to help you much. If it doesn't work, don't blame me," Xu Chen said sincerely.
"How could I blame you? I was the one who begged you first. I'm leaving." Qin Ziyue disappeared from the spot.
Xu Chen shook off the distracting thoughts in his head and returned to his room.
"Lili, wake up!"
Wang Li opened her eyes, rubbed them, and saw Xu Chen smiling at her.
"You're up so early. Did you cultivate last night, Chenchen?"
"No, it's the weekend. Let's go shopping. We've just moved here, and there are still a lot of things we haven't settled in yet. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay, I'll get up then." Upon hearing that they were going shopping, Wang Li was filled with energy. She got up very quickly, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and pulled Xu Chen out of the house.
"This neighborhood is great, it's very private." Stepping out of the gate, Wang Li looked around. The villas were arranged in an orderly fashion like soldiers, with a lot of space between them. Each villa was surrounded by various green plants. Xu Chen took a deep breath of the morning air. "Hmm, comfortable. Let's go, Lili, let's take the subway to Wangfujing."
On the subway, Xu Chen was fixing Wang Li's hair, which was quite messy after running around. Two girls next to them took out their phones and captured this heartwarming scene.
"Brother, sister, are you a couple?"
“Yes.” Wang Li nodded with a smile, looking at the two girls in high school uniforms.
"I'm so envious of your relationship, it's so sweet. Brother and sister, I just filmed a video of the brother fixing the sister's hair, can I post it online?"
"Hmm, sure." Xu Chen didn't care. After all, he seemed to have been on the trending topics several times. If he was on the trending topics again this time, it wouldn't have any impact.
"Thank you, brother and sister. We'll get off now." The two high school girls got off the subway, and Xu Chen and Wang Li snuggled together, waiting for the subway to arrive at the station.
After arriving at Wangfujing, the two went directly to the electronics store.
"Hello, ladies, what kind of appliance are you looking to buy?" A sales assistant immediately followed Xu Chen and Wang Li as they entered the appliance store and asked.
"I'd like to buy a TV and a washing machine. Do you offer home delivery service?" Wang Li looked around and asked the sales assistant as she observed the surroundings.
"Yes, yes, just go to the front desk to fill in your address later, and we'll deliver and install it for free."
Wang Li nodded and started looking at Suoni's products, while Xu Chen waited in the waiting area.
"Tell me about this one."
"Okay, this is the latest 2021 model from Soni, with an 8K display..."
Before long, Wang Li finished selecting the appliances and met up with Xu Chen.
"Over 80,000, Chenchen, that feels so expensive," Wang Li said, clinging to Xu Chen's arm.
"Silly girl, isn't the point of making money to spend it? After you buy the appliances, why don't you go shopping?"
Just as the two were about to leave, Xu Chen encountered someone who surprised him.
"Li Wei?"
"Who? Your roommate?"
Xu Chen pulled Wang Li forward to greet him. Li Wei deliberately avoided Xu Chen's gaze, but when he had no choice, he reluctantly greeted Xu Chen.
"Li Wei, didn't you say you usually go to the library to study on weekends? What's going on here?"
Wang Li carefully examined Li Wei's clothes, then looked at the shop behind him; it seemed he was handing out flyers for the shop.
Just as Li Wei was about to respond, an employee came out and said to him, "Here, two hundred sheets. Distribute them this morning."
"I've already sent out two hundred copies," Li Wei hurriedly clarified.
"What you sent out was mine. This stack is yours. You won't get paid if you don't finish sending it out by the morning." The female employee was very mean, and seemed to know the boss well, which is why she dared to boss around Li Wei, this big man.
"Li Wei, let's go." Xu Chen grabbed Li Wei's hand, trying to get him to leave, but Li Wei shook off Xu Chen's arm and continued.
"Xu Chen, you go first, I'll finish distributing this stack first."
Xu Chen gave Li Wei a deep look, then said, "I'll wait for you in the restaurant downstairs. We'll chat after I finish handing out this stack of papers." He then pulled Wang Li away.
Li Wei had been busy all morning, handing out countless flyers, including one of the hundredth. He wiped the sweat from his brow with a towel and arrived at the restaurant downstairs on time.
"Over here!"
Li Wei looked around and saw Xu Chen and Wang Li, then sat down opposite them.
"If you're a brother, just say it. What's wrong with you? Can I help you solve it? Let's figure something out together." Xu Chen got straight to the point, pouring drinks for Li Wei and himself.
Li Wei looked at the clear liquid in the glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then said with a flushed face, "Xu Chen, I really envy you."
Xu Chen stopped picking up food and put down his chopsticks, listening quietly to Li Wei speak.
"Your family is high-ranking, you have such a beautiful girlfriend, and you got into such a good university. Your future is bright. Your life can be described as smooth sailing."
Li Wei poured himself another glass of wine, then said with a bitter face, "My family is from the countryside. My mother is seriously ill, and my father left home many years ago. He may have abandoned my mother and me."
"So that's why you're doing part-time work? Isn't there a reward for getting into Peking University?" Xu Chen asked softly.
"I used it all for my mother's medical expenses." Li Wei drank one cup after another, as if trying to drink away all his troubles.
