A fleeting look of melancholy crossed Chu Qingxuan's eyes. She then raised her gaze, her dark pupils darting around, and pouted, saying, "But all I want to do is stay by Master's side."
Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Nan Muchen's phoenix eyes, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Alright."
Chu Qingxuan's smile deepened, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she happily exclaimed, "Master is the best!"
Looking at the child he had raised, Nan Muchen felt happy, but the thought that Chu Qingxuan would one day be with other men made him inexplicably unhappy.
After all, she raised her own child, it would be a real shame to marry her off.
If your apprentice has her eye on a man she can't beat, she shouldn't marry him.
Nan Muchen thought to himself silently.
After returning to the Hanchen Sect, Chu Qingxuan practiced her zither skills at the Haitang Palace every day. Apart from Nan Muchen, no one could see Chu Qingxuan.
After mastering her zither skills, Chu Qingxuan became even more engrossed in cultivation.
Before teaching Chu Qingxuan the art of playing the zither, Nan Muchen said, "Although you have reached the second level of the Earth Rank, when you first start learning the art of playing the zither, you are easily distracted. You must study diligently and not interrupt your practice."
For the next year, Chu Qingxuan secluded herself to cultivate.
In just one year, Chu Qingxuan rose to the fourth level of the Earth Rank.
Once you reach the Earth level or higher in cultivation, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult, and some people never manage to advance in their entire lives.
Nan Muchen was very satisfied with Chu Qingxuan's rapid rise in status.
A year later, Chu Qingxuan emerged from seclusion.
Chu Qingxuan stood at the entrance of the Begonia Palace, looking up at the sky. She had finally come out.
He then turned around, glancing at the white figure inside the room, a smile lingering in his eyes.
For more than a year, Nan Muchen has been by her side, which is wonderful.
Nan Muchen, who was inside the room, felt Chu Qingxuan's gaze on him. He turned to look at Chu Qingxuan, his eyes cold and clear. He sat upright and poured himself a cup of tea. His cool voice reached Chu Qingxuan's ears.
"What? You want to cultivate here?"
Chu Qingxuan ran into the room, sat opposite Nan Muchen, propped her chin on her hand, looked at Nan Muchen's face, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Master, can I cultivate here?"
Nan Muchen raised his eyes and coldly rejected Chu Qingxuan's suggestion, "No."
Chu Qingxuan said disappointedly, "Oh."
Nan Muchen sensed Chu Qingxuan's disappointment. He frowned slightly, drank a glass of water, and put the glass down.
"You need to go out and gain experience."
Chu Qingxuan's eyes lit up. She could go out now!
With Nan Muchen right in front of her, Chu Qingxuan suppressed her joy and looked at him seriously.
Nan Muchen glanced at Chu Qingxuan, taking in her expression, but didn't expose her.
Where are we going for this training trip?
Chu Qingxuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Master, can I choose for myself this time?"
"Um."
"Will Master go?"
"I'm not going."
"Oh, okay." A disappointed tone.
Nan Muchen sensed Chu Qingxuan's disappointment, remained silent for a moment, and then said calmly, "Next time is fine."
Chu Qingxuan immediately nodded, "Then I'm really looking forward to going out with Master."
Seeing Chu Qingxuan's obedient appearance, Nan Muchen's heart inexplicably softened...
After leaving the Begonia Palace, Chu Qingxuan returned to the Lotus Palace. She hadn't appeared for over a year, and when Zhirong saw Chu Qingxuan, she couldn't hide her joy.
"Chuchu, you're out?"
Chu Qingxuan nodded slightly, but why did those words sound so strange?
"Yes, it's out."
