"Is this woman out of her mind?"
As soon as they learned that Chen Anlin and Wu Xixue were leaving, Yao Fu wore a look of regret.
At this moment, Chen Anlin and Wu Xixue had helped him a lot. Thanks to Chen Anlin's superb alchemy skills, his shop had been revived and was now doing quite well. With some money in hand, he had also recruited other alchemists, and things were finally stabilizing for him.
For Yao Fu, their departure was indeed a pity, so he tried to persuade them to stay for quite a while. Unfortunately, Chen Anlin insisted that they needed to go to Sanxiaozong to find someone.
"Ah, well then, be careful on the road. Come back to visit whenever you have time; my little shop will always welcome you both," Yao Fu said regretfully.
After chatting for a bit, Chen Anlin cupped his hands in farewell and officially left with Wu Xixue.
At this point, Wu Xixue had already restored her cultivation level and had reached the second layer of Foundation Establishment. As for Chen Anlin, he had achieved the ninth layer of Qi Refinement. He was just one step away from Foundation Establishment himself.
Having gained some self-protection capabilities, both Chen Anlin and Wu Xixue decided it was time to leave. Chen Anlin specifically donned a black mask, and after a day’s journey, they had completely exited the area and were flying toward the location of Sanxiaozong.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed. They finally arrived at Sanxiaocheng, the largest immortal city at the foot of Sanxiaozong's mountain. Upon arriving here, Chen Anlin realized what true prosperity looked like!
After inquiring further, he learned that the reason so many people had gathered was that Sanxiaozong was about to hold a grand examination for recruiting disciples!
"Interesting! It seems we arrived just in time," Chen Anlin said with a smile.
"I just heard at the inn that the vice elder of Sanxiaozong is surnamed Wu—my ancestor, Wu Qingguang!" Wu Xixue exclaimed excitedly.
Hearing this, Chen Anlin chuckled as well.
"That's great! We might not even need to go through the examination to enter the sect."
"Absolutely!" Wu Xixue nodded with a smile.
Suddenly, Chen Anlin furrowed his brows as a familiar figure approached from a distance.
"What's wrong?" Wu Xixue noticed that Chen Anlin's expression had changed, and she followed his gaze to see a young man from the Qing Dynasty walking toward them.
Chen Anlin took a deep breath and focused, "It's him! Zhang Qing!"
"What? It's him?" Wu Xixue clenched her fists.
She could never forget that time when Chen Anlin had gone out to sell pills and had nearly lost his life. The culprit behind it all was this Zhang Qing!
Chen Anlin hadn’t expected that after some time apart, Zhang Qing had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
At that moment, Zhang Qing was chatting happily with a young girl by his side. As a top genius of the Zhang family in the cultivation world, he had fully matured and was now accompanied by a girl of similar talent.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Qing suddenly sensed someone observing him and turned to look at Chen Anlin. Upon seeing him, his body stiffened.
Interesting, very interesting. What a surprise to encounter an old friend.
Zhang Qing casually dismissed his female companion and walked over to Chen Anlin.
"What's your name? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, haven't I?" Zhang Qing asked.
"This fellow cultivator, I don't think we're acquainted. If you want to ask me something, could you please be more polite?" Chen Anlin replied.
"Heh, what qualifications does a mere Qi Refining brat have to speak to me like that?" Zhang Qing scoffed.
"What’s going on, Brother Zhang?"
The beautiful girl walking with Zhang Qing looked at Chen Anlin with suspicion as she approached.
"Qianqian, I’ve run into an old acquaintance," Zhang Qing said with a sly smile.
"Old acquaintance?" Yang Qianqian was taken aback for a moment before suddenly realizing something. She looked at Chen Anlin and asked, "Could it be that you are the one who escaped back then?"
Chen Anlin no longer held back at this moment. He shrugged and said, "Zhang Qing, you almost got me killed back then. Sooner or later, I will settle the score with you."
"Hahaha!" Zhang Qing laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "You? I admit your speed when running away is impressive, but with your cultivation level, even if I gave you a hundred chances, you wouldn't be able to catch up to me."
"Exactly! Just look at yourself; how dare you compare with my Brother Zhang?" Xu Qianqian scoffed.
"What did you say?" Wu Xixue glared at Xu Qianqian coldly.
Xu Qianqian crossed her arms and disdainfully replied, "What? You want to take revenge on me? My name is Xu Qianqian. If you have something to say, go ahead."
Zhang Qing interjected, "The Xu family is a well-known clan in the realm of cultivation. If you kneel down and apologize now, I might consider letting you off the hook."
As he spoke, Zhang Qing's eyes roamed over Wu Xixue's perfect figure, and he couldn't help but swallow hard. Such a stunning woman was rare to find these days.
After seeing Wu Xixue, he suddenly felt that Xu Qianqian was no longer appealing; they were like heaven and earth apart. He began to think about how to win Wu Xixue over—after all, a married woman like her was exactly his type.
As for whether he could succeed? Please! He was the chosen one who had crossed over from another world; dealing with these locals was as easy as spitting!
Wu Xixue smiled mockingly. "Kneel down? You really have some nerve! Now get lost!"
"Miss, don't be so angry. I was just joking. How about this: if you leave this guy right now, I can guarantee you'll successfully enter the Sanxia Sect," Zhang Qing said, a smirk playing on his lips. He was confident that once this woman heard his offer, she would be tempted!
After all, this was an opportunity to join the Sanxia Sect.
"Did you hear that? Brother Zhang has said it; why aren't you quickly thanking him?"
Xu Qianqian let out a cold huff, feeling a twinge of jealousy. As a woman herself, she knew that compared to Wu Xixue, she fell woefully short.
This made her quite unhappy; she didn't like how Zhang Qing spoke to Wu Xixue but dared not voice her feelings openly. All she could do was huff silently in her heart.
"Get lost!"
