Bai Wei summoned Zhan Chen and the others this time mainly to meet and say hello. The Humanity Sect has a great cause, and every year there will always be disciples who break through the Ming Dharma realm, and one of his responsibilities as a deacon elder is to manage it well
These core disciples of the outer sect naturally had to meet each Ming Dharma Realm disciple once. Of course, it was only once. After that, he ordered Zhan Chen and others to retreat.
As soon as Zhan Chen and the other four left the meeting hall, Xu Liyan took Zhan Chen's hand and said excitedly: "Zhan Chen, I knew you could do it. I didn't expect that we were so destined that we even made breakthroughs at the same time.
Year."
Zhan Chen was not used to her openness and withdrew his hand in embarrassment, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is just a coincidence."
Xu Liyan ignored this and stuck over again, suggesting: "Zhan Chen, you are not allowed to escape. Let's go out and celebrate today..."
Just as Xu Liyan and Zhan Chen were entangled, Lin Suya on the side had an inexplicable flash of loss in her eyes, as if something important had been lost. She had originally wanted to go over and chat with Zhan Chen, but she didn't expect that she was attracted by this strange Xu Liyan.
He was given the upper hand. Seeing how close their relationship was, he started to make random guesses again.
Zhan Chen was worried that he could not get rid of Xu Liyan. Leng Buding saw Lin Suya standing aside and shouted: "Senior sister, that's great, you have also broken through the Ming Dharma realm."
Xu Liyan asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"
Zhan Chen said: "Yes, Senior Sister Lin and I were in the Qinxiao Sect before we came to Taichen Prefecture."
"Qin Xiao Sect? That seems to be a female sect." Xu Liyan was even more surprised. She never expected that Zhan Chen would join such a sect. In her impression, Zhan Chen didn't seem to be a person who loved music.
Zhan Chen said: "It must be because of some reasons."
Lin Suya stepped forward and smiled: "My breakthrough is natural, but I didn't expect your progress to be so rapid, junior brother."
"Haha, I just got some opportunities. I can't practice as hard as my senior sister."
Lin Suya shook her head and said: "In my eyes, you are a genius in cultivation. Maybe it won't be long before your cultivation will leave me far behind."
Xu Liyan kept observing the two people from the side. From the perspective of others, she could guess that Zhan Chen and Lin Suya seemed to have some interest in each other, but there seemed to be an insurmountable barrier between them.
It's just a high wall, so he smiled and said: "Since you all know Zhan Chen, and Senior Sister Lin, that's great. The three of us will go out together to celebrate. How about I be the host?"
"This -" Lin Suya and Zhan Chen seemed to be unable to raise any objections. Tang Junjie saw that the three of them were chatting enthusiastically and felt that they were not interested, so he left alone.
Xu Liyan, on the other hand, dragged Zhan Chen and Lin Suya to the largest restaurant in Renjie City, where the princess of the Xu family spent hundreds of top-quality immortal stones on one meal for Zhan Chen and Lin Suya.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and after the banquet, she wanted to find another excuse to go with Zhan Chen, but Zhan Chen politely refused and had to leave.
Zhan Chen finally had the opportunity to be alone with Lin Suya. Lin Suya looked at Zhan Chen for a long time before probing: "Junior brother, you seem to be very familiar with this Xu Liyan. When did you meet her?"
Zhan Chen couldn't help but sigh, and told Lin Suya everything about Guanghong's secret treasure.
Lin Suya also sighed after hearing this, "No wonder your strength has improved so quickly. But Xu Liyan has only been with you for a short time and she is so interested in you. I'm afraid she is interested in you."
Zhan Chen sighed again: "Senior sister, I am so focused on cultivation now, how can I have time to take care of my children's personal affairs?"
"But according to what you just said, Xu Liyan is of noble birth and is naturally beautiful. Are you really not tempted?"
"Stop talking, I have a headache. Besides, if you see a beautiful woman and want to take them as your own, wouldn't it seem too despicable?"
Lin Suya smoothed her silver hair and said with a smile: "It's rare to see men like you Zhan Chen."
"This can be regarded as a kind of self-discipline." Zhan Chen said seriously.
Then the two separated, and Zhan Chen also returned home, waiting for the gathering of talents next month. Unfortunately, within two days of his quiet days, Xu Liyan came to his door, and Zhan Chen had to welcome her in.
Question: "Fellow Daoist Xu, is something wrong?"
Xu Liyan looked really worried. She lowered her eyes and asked, "Can't I be your guest if you have nothing to do?"
"Okay, it's just that - I'm preparing to practice in seclusion."
"It seems that you don't welcome me very much."
"No, no, it's just that I can't figure out why you are so interested in me."
Xu Liyan did not express her thoughts directly, but said: "Zhan Chen, do you know? My parents are urging me to get married again, and the person is the Li Shaobai you met last time. I don't want to marry him at all.
, It’s a pity that it’s hard to disobey your parents’ orders. This is the tragedy of those of us who live in big families. We can’t even make our own decisions about our own love.”
Zhan Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. At this time, he instinctively felt that he should remain silent.
The atmosphere of silence lasted in the room for a while, and Xu Liyan began to speak again: "Zhan Chen, do you know? Since the last time we met in Guanghong Secret Treasure, you have appeared in my mind from time to time.
Your appearance, your voice, and your smile are all so kind to me. I have tried to convince myself that how can I have feelings for someone I have only met once? But the strange thing is, even though
Even though I repeatedly persuaded myself not to think about you anymore, but to obey the will of my parents and family, your figure still often came out and swayed in front of my eyes when I was in a daze, so I tried every means to learn about you and tried every means to come.
Meeting you - maybe you will think that I am an annoying woman, but I really can't stop thinking about you, Zhan Chen, tell me, what should I do?"
Zhan Chen listened to this long confession in silence, feeling heavy in his heart. He felt that his troubles were coming again. The enemy of feelings is the most difficult to deal with, and you cannot defeat it with strong cultivation.
After thinking carefully for a while, he said to Xu Liyan: "Fellow Daoist Xu, he is actually better than me -"
"Zhan Chen, please stop using such clichés to reject people, okay? Just give me a sure sign today. If you really don't have any feelings for me at all, just say it and make me give up!"
Zhan Chen couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Xu Liyan, and found that her eyes were sharper than a sword today, without the gentleness and kindness in the past. He lowered his head subconsciously, avoiding the sharp gaze, and thought carefully again.
After a while, he started to say: "Fellow Daoist Xu, maybe you don't know, I am not single. In fact, I already have four or five wives, and you are pure and innocent. There is no need to like a man like me. You should have a better destination."
.”
Zhan Chen thought Xu Liyan would leave if he said this, but he never expected that her reaction was far beyond his expectation.
Xu Liyan was not surprised after hearing Zhan Chen's words. Instead, she smiled and said: "Zhan Chen, let me tell you that I have a good eye for people. You are such a cultivator who doesn't know the style, but four or five women will fall in love with you. This
It just shows that you are a hot commodity."
Zhan Chen said in astonishment: "Aren't you surprised?"
"What's so surprising? A man has three wives and four concubines, and a woman has more than one man. Isn't this rare in the world of immortality? It's everywhere. As long as a monk has a strong cultivation level, he will naturally gather a large number of admirers. You only have
Four or five wives are considered a few."
Zhan Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Are you trying to pimple me?"
"No, my father has forty-three wives including my mother. They all love my father deeply and help him in handling clan affairs and other important matters in the clan. It is also with their help that
, only then can my father become the head of the Xu family, and only then can he devote himself to cultivation and improve his cultivation level." He said.
Here, Xu Liyan's face flashed with pride and she said: "I have forty-three mothers, and they all love me very much. It's fun for the whole family to get together at parties. Zhan Chen, it doesn't matter if you have other wives, I will
I promise that I will get along well with them and never be jealous."
Zhan Chen was completely stunned and couldn't understand what this woman was thinking. Xu Liyan looked at his shocked look and felt strange and asked: "Zhan Chen, did I say something wrong? If you are here because you already have a wife,
It doesn't matter if you don't dare to like me, I will handle the relationship with them well, as long as we can be together, I can overcome any difficulties!"
"But I can't accept it. I already have other women in my heart."
"Then put your mind in order and make a place for me."
"No, we can no longer accommodate other women."
"Zhan Chen, do you like me or not?!" Xu Liyan asked again.
Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment. Xu Liyan was beautiful and generous. She probably came from a big family. There was a kind of elegance in every move she made. It brought a whole new feeling to herself. Which man would not be attracted by such a woman?
What? But he also has his own bottom line and will never accept more women easily.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Liyan said again: "Zhan Chen, I won't force you to like me, but you can at least give me an answer. I can wait, but I don't have much time." After saying this,
, she got up and left the house.
Looking at her leaving figure, Zhan Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
