CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 162: GETTING ALONG! (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! PLEASE FOLLOW!)

It took a full twenty days.

Chen Xuan and his companions traveled through Yu Province and finally arrived at the city gate of Yonghe Commandery.

"Halt!"

The militia guarding the city stopped the carriage.

"We have been invited to attend the grand festival, here is the invitation!" Zhuge Potian said, handing over the invitation.

Upon hearing this, the leading militia officer immediately displayed respect, taking the invitation with both hands.

Those invited to attend the grand festival are all high-ranking martial artists without exception.

Orders from above dictate that such individuals must be shown sufficient respect.

When he opened the invitation, he was shocked to see the golden letters inside.

Inviting these high-ranking martial artists is also tiered, with golden letters indicating the highest level, at least second-grade experts.

His respect grew instantly.

After carefully confirming that there were no issues, he respectfully returned the invitation with both hands and said, "Welcome, sir, to the grand festival. Please follow me, everything has been arranged."

This time, everything has been meticulously arranged for the invited high-ranking martial artists by the militia.

"Thank you!"

Zhuge Potian said casually after putting the invitation back into his chest.

Then three carriages followed the middle-aged city guard leader onto the main street.

However, Chen Xuan’s massive carriage instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Fortunately, the main street was wide enough, otherwise, it would have been a problem indeed.

In the carriage, a few women lifted the curtains of the windows to look outside.

"Wow, Yonghe Commandery is so lively! Look, it seems like everyone’s watching our carriage!" After not seeing a single soul for days, finally arriving and seeing such liveliness made the young girl excited.

However,

her words had an instant effect; the other women, who were initially curious to look outside, immediately all returned to their seats with tacit understanding.

These days have been... truly absurd.

Sometimes Chen Xuan was interested, irrespective of the time or place.

According to him, since they were idle anyway, why not have a battle to pass the time?

Initially, several women disagreed, but Chen Xuan said one thing.

’While we have the time now, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise, like... getting pregnant?’

Several women were instantly moved.

Especially Su Wanqiu, who had always wanted to give birth to Chen Xuan’s offspring; after all this time, there had been no movement in her belly.

She felt quite embarrassed in her heart.

In her mind, the Chen Family having no successors was a monumental issue.

Moreover, Ji Keren repeatedly assured them that no one outside knew what was happening inside.

In the days that followed, the women let it go and allowed Chen Xuan’s antics.

As long as they could get pregnant, that was all that mattered.

But just hearing Su Yun say everyone was staring at their carriage made them suddenly shy again.

Soon, about half an hour later.

"Creak!" With a sound, the carriage stopped.

"We’ve arrived, everyone!" The city guard leader’s voice came through.

"Oh~~~" Chen Xuan dragged out the sound, stretching lazily; after days of riding, his rear end had gone numb,

Were it not for the women, he and Xuan Er, relying on the Divine Movement, could not have endured this hardship.

"Get off, ladies!"

Shouting, he was the first to step down from the carriage.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim; the militia wasn’t sparing in the least.

He looked up,

Star Sea Tower! The three golden characters had a profound charm!

At a glance, they were the work of a master!

The inn had ten full floors, each crafted with exquisite jade stone railings, with various gems inlaid on the railings, making it increasingly splendid.

What kind of inn was this? It was practically a palace.

The women came down from the carriage one by one, all shocked by the inn before them.

"Xuan Er? Is that you?"

A clear female voice came from the front, instantly drawing Chen Xuan’s attention.

Beside Xuan Er stood a woman in a long blue dress, her hair elegantly coiffed, with a delicate face, fair skin, and an air of nobility.

"Yes, long time no see, Cosine! I never thought you’d still be alive!"

Xuan Er’s voice trembled slightly; even for a first-grade master, his expression grew excited upon seeing the beautiful woman before him.

"Drama’s brewing!"

Chen Xuan was immediately intrigued.

"Could this beautiful woman be Master’s old flame?"

He began to speculate in his mind.

"After I escaped, I went looking for you, but by then it was already ruins. I searched for years, but there was never any news of you. I thought..."

Here, Xuan Er paused.

"I almost died in the hands of the Inspectorate but was later saved by someone." Seeing Xuan Er again made her very happy.

However—

"Xian’Er, is this Brother Xuan Er you often talk about?" At this time, a man in white emerged from the inn and came to Cosine’s side.

He looked at her with deep affection.

Suddenly,

Chen Xuan noticed Xuan Er trembling slightly all over.

"Who is this?"

Despite seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t help but ask unwillingly.

"Hehe, let me call you Brother Xuan Er like Xian’Er does. I am Xian’Er’s husband, Mo Hua!"

Although he didn’t believe it, hearing it with his own ears, Xuan Er’s face turned ashen.

After so many years of searching, finally meeting only to face this result.

"Damn, is it really this melodramatic?"

Looking at the three people, my mind instantly started spinning with thoughts of a hero saving the damsel in distress, offering himself in marriage, and now once again encountering Xuan Er, his old flame.

Damn!

Such melodramatic things actually happened to him, and it’s even his master.

This is exactly the standard process of those tragic dramas from previous lives!

It’s really too pitiful.

Silently mourning Xuan Er for a few seconds in my heart.

Especially for Cosine, this moment was even more embarrassing for her, one being her current husband, the other being someone she loved years ago.

At this time, Chen Xuan walked over, smiling and said, "You must be Senior Cosine. Master often mentions you. But as you see we have so many people, why don’t we go inside first, and when there’s time, we chat in detail?"

"Um... okay!"

Cosine quickly nodded, she didn’t want to face this scene either.

"Brother Xuan, let’s go in first!"

"Alright..." Xuan Er nodded difficultly, revealing a trace of pain between his brows, watching Cosine enter the inn.

He remained motionless for a long time, stunned there.

"Let’s go, Master!"

Chen Xuan said softly, uncertain of what to say at the time.

"Hoo—"

Xuan Er sighed deeply, "Let’s go!"

...

Chen Xuan settled in the room with several women.

This was the largest room in the inn.

Several rooms were connected; this was also his requirement.

After all, having five women stay together was more convenient and safe, which assured him a bit.

After settling them in,

thinking about checking on Xuan Er, he opened the door, just to find Ye Jincen standing right in front of it.

"Are you going to see Uncle Xuan?"

"Yes! Better to check on him."

Being men, some things might come out better if said by him.

"Don’t go for now. Let him be alone and quiet for a while!" Clearly, Ye Jincen knew about their situation.

"Come in first."

Chen Xuan moved aside, letting her enter the room, then gently closed the door.

Then he said to the women inside the room, "You tidy up yourselves first, I have something to attend to."

"Got it, Brother Xuan!"

Su Wanqiu’s voice came from inside, followed by Chen Xuan and Ye Jincen moving to the room on the left.

After sitting down, Chen Xuan asked, "That person is Master’s...?"

"Yes, a lover!"

Ye Jincen replied slowly.

"Ai, it’s a tragedy!"

Chen Xuan sighed inwardly.

"Aunt Cosine is the daughter of Yu Kuiyuan, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, but the relationship between the Divine Movement Sect and the Ten Thousand Laws Sect has never been good, even hostile."

"There was an occasion when Uncle Xuan met Aunt Cosine by chance while handling affairs outside, and the two fell in love at first sight."

"But neither of the sects agreed with their relationship, so it remained unresolved."

"Later on, when the Great Xia eradicated the sect, Uncle Xuan went to the Ten Thousand Laws Sect first when he escaped, but it was already in ruins."

"Over the years, Uncle Xuan has actually been seeking Aunt Cosine all along, but unexpectedly their reunion is under such circumstances."

Saying this, Ye Jincen felt deep sympathy for him.

After searching for so long without finding her, Cosine ended up marrying someone else.

It’s truly the workings of fate.

After Ye Jincen left, Chen Xuan felt deeply sighing in his heart.

It certainly is the benchmark of a tragic drama, with animosity between sects and two fated, unfortunate people!

If I had known it would be like this, it might’ve been better not to have come, now with this situation.....

What can be done!

....

Ninth floor of the Star Sea Tower.

In a room, Cosine sat by the window, looking outside, with vacant eyes filled with the scenes from her youth when she first met Xuan Er.

That time could be said to be when she was happiest.

Unexpectedly.....

Cosine’s expression was extremely painful, now she even thought about why she didn’t die at the hands of the Inspectorate.

"You should know, Xuan Er is a first-grade expert, also the greatest genius the Divine Movement Sect has ever had, someone the Sect Leader personally wants. This matter must not go wrong, or you, me, and of course your father won’t have a good outcome!"

Cosine’s appearance at the Star Sea Tower was of course no coincidence, but deliberately arranged.

The purpose was to have her win over Xuan Er.

Although Mo Hua was unwilling in his heart about this, it was the intention of the former Great Xia’s number one Sanqing Sect, even he dared not oppose.

"Hehe!"

Cosine sneered, turned around disdainfully to look at Mo Hua, this was the man she married.

Back then, when she was severely injured, he was by her side carefully tending to her until she recovered.

After healing, she wanted to find Xuan Er, but both her father and Mo Hua claimed the Divine Movement Sect was exterminated by the Inspectorate, with not a single survivor.

Upon receiving this news, she truly felt life was worse than death.

Over the years, Mo Hua had been by her side taking care of her, and her father was very pleased with him, eventually marrying her off to Mo Hua.

Now it seems, all of this was deliberate on her father’s part, deceiving her together with Mo Hua.

She originally thought she would live out her life like this, little did she expect the Sanqing Sect to constantly plot returning to the Nine Provinces.

Now even asking her to win over Xuan Er,

She really didn’t dare to refuse!
