After leaving the training room, Zhan Chen found Huangfu Ying, bowed to her and thanked her: "Sister Huangfu - I won't say anything too beautiful. You have been really helpful to me over the years. Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am now."
high."
Huangfu Ying waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, it's really nothing. I have lived alone for so many years. The occasional visit from someone here will only add more color to my gray life. Besides, you also let me
I have seen a lot of interesting things, and maybe one day I will be able to understand something from them and break through the realm of ten thousand dharma that I have been unable to break through, so it is not certain who will help whom."
Zhan Chen also laughed and said, "I feel much better after hearing what you said. It would be best if I could help you."
"Brother, I have my word first. You must unconditionally meet any of my requirements in the future and you are not allowed to go back on your words, okay?"
"Well, it doesn't include murder and arson."
"Well, don't worry, I won't make such a request."
"Okay then, what else can you covet in me?" Zhan Chen smiled nonchalantly, and then said, "I have to go, take care of yourself."
"Well, you go, we will meet again soon." Xiao Nizi nodded calmly.
"Just say something I can't understand." Zhan Chen said with a bitter smile, then turned around and headed down the mountain.
After leaving the Qin Xiao Sect, Zhan Chen became eager to return. Although he only stayed on Moyun Ridge for three years, to the outside world it was a thousand years. A thousand years can change many things, so Zhan Chen
Chen was eager to go back to confirm the situation.
A month later, Zhan Chen returned to the inner sect. The first thing he did after returning was to visit Xu Liyan's house. He was very disappointed. Xu Liyan's house had obviously been empty for a long time.
He rushed to the outer sect to see Lin Suya. Lin Suya was very happy to see him. She immediately came up to hug him and said emotionally: "Zhan Chen, I finally met you. It has been more than a thousand years since you left the inner sect."
Well, why didn’t you come back until now?”
Zhan Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't I make it clear to you when I left?"
Lin Suya's pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "Yes, why have I become so sentimental?"
Zhan Chen felt the passion of her love for him, and couldn't help hugging her tightly, and said emotionally: "Senior sister, when I come back this time, I won't leave you easily again."
"Junior brother, please tell me about your experiences over the years - by the way, your cultivation!" Lin Suya realized then that she could no longer see through Zhan Chen's depth.
Zhan Chen reacted, touched his head, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am already a middle-level expert in Mingfa." He was not ready to tell Lin Suya about his breakthrough to the Bodhisattva realm, because it sounded too
Unbelievable.
"Intermediate level of Mingfa, so fast! Junior brother, you are indeed a genius!" Lin Suya said happily, then her expression suddenly darkened, and she said: "Unlike me, I still can't be promoted to the inner sect. My strength is even higher than that of the outer sect.
It doesn't even rank in the top ten. When I was in the Qinxiao Sect, I thought I was a genius in cultivation."
"Suya, it's okay. You are not the only one who has not been promoted to the inner sect within a thousand years. Senior sister's qualifications are definitely good. I believe you will be able to be promoted to the inner sect next time." Zhan Chen comforted her hurriedly.
However, he couldn't say anything more. With his current strength, he couldn't give Lin Suya more help in cultivation. She could only hope to be promoted to the inner sect through her own efforts.
"Well, I'm fine. If I can't overcome this setback, I will never be able to reach the highest level."
Zhan Chen thought for a while and asked again: "By the way, senior sister, did you get any news from Xu Liyan while I was away?"
Lin Suya shook her head and said: "I have never seen her once, but I heard that she is in retreat in her family in order to increase her cultivation. For us enlightened powerhouses, it is normal for a retreat to last for thousands of years.
, so I think she should still be working hard to improve her cultivation at this time."
Zhan Chen frowned. He knew that for Xu Liyan, she had the best conditions to practice. Moreover, her father was a strong man in the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm and could help her achieve a leap in cultivation in a short period of time, so
The direct descendants of the ten major families usually spend very little time on cultivation, but Xu Liyan chose to remain in seclusion this time, which may have something to do with Li Shaobai.
"I can't let Li Shaobai be arrogant anymore. I want to take the initiative, defeat him completely, and prove to everyone that I am worthy of Xu Liyan!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but clenched his fists. Since he had already had a relationship with Xu Liyan, then this woman
It is my own forbidden love, and I will never allow other men to get involved.
"Zhan Chen, Zhan Chen! What's wrong with you?" Lin Suya couldn't help but asked with concern when she saw that Zhan Chen had been in a daze.
Only then did Zhan Chen come back to his senses and said: "Oh, it's nothing - Suya, I decided to stay with you these days to make up for my lack of you."
Lin Suya's face showed joy, but she said: "You don't owe me anything, there is nothing to make up for."
"No need to say anything." Zhan Chen saw her gently hugging her...
For the next week, Zhan Chen spent time with Lin Suya. After a week, Zhan Chen returned to the inner sect and found Bai Shan.
Bai Shan was very surprised to see him reappearing in front of her, and asked: "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to come back so soon." Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I broke through the middle level of Mingfa and came back.
After all, I have been away for thousands of years, and it’s time to come back.”
Bai Shan frowned and said worriedly: "I dare to come back if I break through the middle level of Mingfa. You are really yours. If Li Shaobai really wants to deal with you, it will be too easy. Just ask for your blessings. I hope he can take you down."
Completely forgotten!”
Zhan Chen smiled confidently and said, "Sister Bai, I only have plans in mind." After a pause, he asked again, "By the way, have you heard any news about the Xu family recently?"
"Xu family? Why do you ask this?" Bai Shan was quite curious.
Zhan Chen immediately made up a reason and said: "That's it, my senior sister Lin Suya was the best friend with Xu Liyan of the Xu family when she was in the outer sect, but since Xu Liyan went to the inner sect, she has never seen him again.
, so my senior sister asked me to inquire about her. No, after much thought, I am afraid that among the people I know, only Sister Bai knows the situation of the ten major families best."
Bai Shan sighed and said, "Of course you can't see her. Now the entire Xu family is planning her marriage, and the groom is Li Shaobai who is eyeing you."
Zhan Chen's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he immediately asked: "Xu Liyan—has she agreed to this marriage?"
"No, I heard that she has been in seclusion, but the Xu family and the Li family are already making arrangements for this matter. As soon as Xu Liyan comes out of seclusion, the wedding will be held."
"It's not good. This is very bad. What should I do?" Zhan Chen began to feel anxious. Although Xu Liyan is still in retreat now, she can't help but stay in retreat forever. There will always be a day when she comes out.
What they are about to face is the joint pressure from the Li and Xu families.
"No, I have to do something for her. With my current strength, I should be able to do it!" Zhan Chen clenched his fists, but he was also very confused now. Where should he vent his free energy? Should he go there?
Deal with Li Shaobai directly?
A terrible thought suddenly came to his mind. By the way, as long as he killed Li Shaobai, he would no longer be able to attack Xu Liyan. But is the legitimate son of the Li family so easy to kill? If the matter is exposed, he himself
He had to die. The Li family was still too powerful for Zhan Chen, so he had to be wary and confused.
At this moment, he heard Bai Shan say again: "So you don't have to worry. These days, Li Shaobai is busy running between the Li family and the Xu family, all for his own marriage, so he may be
I have no time to take care of you, but you have to keep a low profile as much as possible. I don’t think you will participate in the recent Inner Sect Disciple Ranking Competition."
"Inner Sect Disciple Ranking Competition?" Zhan Chen suddenly raised his head and asked, "Sister Bai, what is that?"
