The sect leader of Chao Shengzong smiled and walked gracefully toward Chen Tianwen, his tone somewhat playful:
"Chen Danhuang, don't think of people as so calculating. Xue Shu is the Holy Maiden of my sect. Xue Shu requested to see you, so why would I make any demands on you, Chen Danhuang?"
The sect leader of Chao Shengzong was extremely beautiful. He was now only a step away from Chen Tianwen. His breath was fragrant as he spoke, and when it landed on Chen Tianwen's face, it gave him a tingling sensation.
Chen Tianwen felt somewhat embarrassed, as he had recently encountered far too many exchanges of interests, which had made him a little sensitive.
If you think about it, you'll realize that when he was still an unknown nobody, he could have easily gotten Chao Shengzong to give him face by presenting the White Moon Merchant Guild's Supreme Card.
Afterwards, he never made any demands, and simply wrote down his name!
Moreover, through his inquiries over the past few days, Chen Tianwen also learned that Chao Shengzong had always kept a low profile, cultivated good relationships with many people, and had a very high reputation in the Qianyu region and even the entire Xuanxian world.
Chen Tianwen blushed a little at his earlier thoughts, but on the other hand, he was also quite interested in this Chao Sheng Sect Master.
Rumor has it that the sect leader of Chao Sheng Sect is an ice-cold beauty, but today, Chen Tianwen did not sense any coldness from her at all, and even felt that she was somewhat warm.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Chen Tianwen felt that the sect leader of Chao Shengzong seemed to be overly enthusiastic towards him!
If it were solely Xue Shu's fault, the other party wouldn't have acted this way.
Chen Tianwen couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being and instead spoke to Sect Master Chao Shengzong:
"Sect Master, just call me by my name. I am truly unworthy of the title 'Pill Emperor'."
Chao Shengzong's smile widened, and he spoke to Chen Tianwen:
“Young Master Chen is a straightforward person. You don’t need to call me Sect Master. Everyone calls me Fairy Lanxin. If you don’t mind, you can call me Sister Lan.”
Chen Tianwen was somewhat surprised, not expecting Fairy Lanxin to say such a thing.
The legendary ice and snow beauty seems to have some distorted rumors.
Seeing Chen Tianwen's surprised expression, Fairy Lanxin raised her embroidered eyebrows and said:
"What? Does Young Master Chen think that calling me Sister Lan is beneath the dignity of Emperor Chen Danhuang?"
Chen Tianwen quickly shook his head and explained:
"No, no, the sect leader is the head of a sect and a powerful being at the Immortal Lord level. I am unworthy of such an honor."
Fairy Lanxin circled around Chen Tianwen, sizing him up. She looked like a young girl, giving Chen Tianwen a playful and cute feeling. Chen Tianwen actually felt his face getting hot under Fairy Lanxin's gaze.
"Don't talk about whether I'm marrying up or not. I, Lanxin, have cultivated for thousands of years, and it's rare for me to treat someone so well."
Although Fairy Lanxin was still all smiles, Chen Tianwen could faintly detect a hint of sorrow in her voice.
Chen Tianwen, as if possessed, shouted:
"Lan, sister?"
Fairy Lanxin nodded in satisfaction and pulled Chen Tianwen to sit down. Fairy Lanxin stood in front of Chen Tianwen, and to Chen Tianwen's surprise, Fairy Lanxin actually disregarded her status and personally moved a chair to sit in front of Chen Tianwen, staring intently at him.
Chen Tianwen felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by such a stunning beauty, who was also a powerful figure at the Immortal Lord level and the sect leader of a major sect like Chao Shengzong.
Neither of them spoke. Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Tianwen's mind as he pondered why Fairy Lanxin was behaving this way.
In the end, Chen Tianwen shook his head. He was confident in his looks, and with his otherworldly temperament, it was not surprising that he could attract young girls to fall in love at first sight.
However, given her status, position, and strength, Fairy Lanxin would never be like that ignorant girl who would fall for a crush upon first meeting someone.
However, in Chen Tianwen's eyes, Lan Xin Fairy's current expression was indeed no different from that of a lovesick girl.
"Lan, Sister Lan."
Chen Tianwen was stared at for a full half hour before he finally couldn't help but speak up and break the awkward silence.
Fairy Lanxin also came to her senses. Remembering her lapse in composure, she blushed unconsciously.
"Sister Lan, why are you staring at me like that?"
Chen Tianwen said something very typical of a straight man, and immediately regretted it afterward.
Fairy Lanxin shook her head, a hint of resentment in her eyes, and her tone lost its earlier teasing as she spoke:
"It's so similar, so incredibly similar. Even the aura is similar. But unfortunately, it's not."
Lan Xin Fairy's cryptic words left Chen Tianwen somewhat confused, but he would never pry into Lan Xin Fairy's privacy. He coughed awkwardly, unsure of what to say.
Fairy Lan Xin regained her aura as the leader of a sect, stood up, and without her previous teasing tone, addressed Chen Tianwen:
"Young Master Chen, aren't you curious about the rumors about me that are so different from what you've seen?"
Chen Tianwen had been curious, but out of consideration for Lan Xin's current status, he hadn't spoken. Unexpectedly, Fairy Lan Xin had spoken up herself, so Chen Tianwen no longer concealed his doubts and said:
"That's right. Rumor has it that Sister Lan is an ice-cold beauty, always cold to everyone. To be honest, Sister Lan, your attitude towards me now is making me a little uneasy."
Upon hearing Chen Tianwen's words, Fairy Lanxin couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"You said you felt uneasy, but you keep calling me 'Sister Lan' all the time, doesn't it sound quite natural?"
Chen Tianwen felt a little embarrassed, wondering why he could call her that so naturally. But seeing Lan Xin Fairy's stunning beauty, Chen Tianwen sighed inwardly, thinking that any man would be unable to resist feeling affection for such a beauty.
Fairy Lanxin continued:
"The rumors outside are true, and what Young Master Chen saw is also true. Young Master Chen can understand it as, in front of others, I am Fairy Lanxin, the sect leader of Chaosheng Sect, but in front of you, I am Sister Lan."
Chen Tianwen didn't understand, but he agreed with it in his heart.
Everyone has two sides; perhaps, the true nature of Fairy Lanxin is only revealed in front of herself.
Chen Tian just couldn't understand why Fairy Lan Xin was so good to him.
"Young Master Chen, please come with me. Xue Shu should have finished her seclusion by now. She should be very happy to see you, Young Master Chen."
Fairy Lanxin clearly didn't want to continue the previous topic, so she gestured for Chen Tianwen to proceed and said...
