CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 166 YOU, CHANGED!

Cosine left Luo Tian’s residence.

Walking on the street, in a daze!

Attacking from Xuan Er’s side? She really didn’t want to do this. From what she knew, he was a person of deep loyalty.

If she really did such a thing, then.....

At this moment, she felt like she was about to crumble.

Xuan Er was the best memory of her life, she really didn’t want to do anything to hurt him.

Just now telling Luo Tian to be wary of her was something she made up on the spot.

But she hadn’t expected Luo Tian to actually be willing to use those close to Xuan Er to entice him.

"Aunt Yu!"

Cosine looked up and saw Chen Xuan returning to the Star Sea Tower with several women.

Promptly she set aside her inner pain and forced a smile on her face, "Hey, you all went out!"

"Yes, went out to stroll around, staying at the Star Sea Tower every day is a bit boring."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

After breaking through the realm, he finally relaxed a bit since he’s been under constant strain to break through as soon as possible.

Moreover, after the breakthrough, his cultivation speed slowed down significantly.

So he decided to accompany the women out to experience the lively atmosphere.

Consider it a balance between tension and relaxation.

However, at that moment, he felt Cosine’s unusualness, though she masked it well, his perception was razor-sharp.

"There are still many fun places in Yonghe Commandery, I came early and visited many of them, next time I’ll bring these ladies for a tour." Cosine pointed to the women behind him.

"Sure, thanks Aunt Yu! By the way, the master has been in the room all the time, you haven’t seen each other for many years, you must have a lot to talk about!"

Chen Xuan deliberately said so, because last time Cosine stood at the door and didn’t enter, he felt that Xuan Er wasn’t quite right.

There was a hint of disappointment in those eyes, yes, not sadness!

But why?

He couldn’t quite understand, so he deliberately said it like this.

But he was disappointed, Cosine’s expression didn’t change at all, instead, she said: "I’m a bit busy lately, I’ll go find him when I finish."

After chatting a bit, Chen Xuan returned to the room with the women.

Once the women had all returned to their respective rooms,

Ye Jincen suddenly spoke.

"You did it on purpose?"

"What did I do on purpose?" Chen Xuan pretended to be dumb.

"You did it on purpose!" she reiterated, glaring at him with her starlit eyes before continuing: "I don’t like Cosine!"

This confused Chen Xuan.

She knew well about Cosine and Xuan Er’s matter; Xuan Er treats her like his own daughter, shouldn’t she react differently?

So he asked, "Why?"

"I sense she is very calculating! She seems to have some scheme against Uncle Xuan!"

"Really?"

Chen Xuan was quite skeptical; even with his perceptive eyes, he hadn’t seen anything, could she see it?

"Humph!"

Ye Jincen was very displeased, huffing, "I can see it. I’ve had this ability since I was little!"

This matter was only known to Ye Yilan, Xuan Er, and now Chen Xuan was the third.

"Mind Reading Technique?"

These three words burst into Chen Xuan’s mind.

Reflexively, he stepped back and looked at her warily.

This, however, amused Ye Jincen, who then explained: "I can just tell generally whether someone is good or bad, can’t see specifics, and it only works on those less powerful than me. Back in the Great Xia Camp, I could tell you were fond of Sister Keren."

"Now, though, it doesn’t work! You’re stronger than me!"

Whew—

That’s better! Just a moment ago, he really felt a chill down his spine, worried she’d find out about his system.

That would be a disaster.

However, being able to catch a glimpse of someone’s heart is already freakishly strong.

Never would he have imagined she’d have such a power!

If he had it, anyone with malicious intentions would be thoroughly played with.

"Alright, you, a grown man being scared like this, really... I’m going back to my room." Saying so, she left Chen Xuan’s room.

"What do you think of Little Sister Ye?"

At this time, Su Wanqiu walked out of the room, timing ’just right’.

Earlier, all of them had tacitly returned to their rooms to give Chen Xuan and Ye Jincen some alone time.

These days, Ye Jincen has also become quite familiar with them.

Of course, she had also asked some questions aloud.

Now, it was up to Chen Xuan’s decision.

"What’s up? So good? Trying to pick a woman for your husband?" Chen Xuan pulled her into his arms, affectionately flicking her nose, causing a blush to spread across her fair face.

Even though they’re like an old married couple, Su Wanqiu’s character remains shy.

Besides, it was still day!

Slightly tilting her head, she glared at him and seriously asked again: "Really, I think Little Sister Ye is very good, although she seemed rather distant before, after some time together, she’s actually a very nice person, humble and polite!"

"Wow~~~"

Chen Xuan feigned an exaggerated expression, "Looks like you all have really been getting along, holding her in such high esteem!"

"Humph!"

Su Wanqiu huffed, "Finding a woman for you, yet you’re being sarcastic, I’m ignoring you!"

Forcefully wriggling out, she then returned to the room.

"Humph~~~"

Chen Xuan stroked his chin, humming.

Accept or not?

To say I don’t want to, that’s nonsense. After all, Ye Jincen has the looks and the figure, of course I like him.

However...

Let’s wait until we return to Youlan Mansion to talk about it, there’s no rush.

When she returned to the room, Ye Jincen sat on the chair, staring blankly.

Being with them made her feel something she had never felt before, especially with Su Wanqiu. Although she is just a low-grade Martial Artist, she is very considerate in taking care of her.

She really liked this feeling, like when her mother was around.

She just didn’t know what he meant?

She lifted her chin, her gaze turned to the busy street outside the window, bustling with people, especially seeing those ordinary couples laughing and talking.

Although these days are ordinary, they must be very happy, right?

Her eyes couldn’t help but show envy.

...

"What are you planning to do?" Mo Hua looked at Cosine, who had been sitting there since returning, and asked again.

But Cosine didn’t respond to him.

Hearing his voice now made him feel nauseated.

"What are you going to do? Even if you don’t care about me, but what about you, your father, and your brother? If you don’t act soon, don’t you know what kind of person Luo Tian is?"

Mo Hua was really anxious.

He was just an ordinary disciple of the Sanqing Sect, someone like him, Luo Tian could crush as easily as an ant.

"You’ll have to let it be, I know what I’m doing?"

Cosine’s voice was extremely cold. For the first time she actually looked him in the eye, but the look was one of extreme disgust, "Now, get out of the room!"

"You—"

Mo Hua pointed at her, his chest heaving with anger,

But—

In the end, he snorted coldly and left the room.

He didn’t dare to offend Cosine now, after all, his life depended on her.

Had he known it would end like this, he shouldn’t have tried to curry favor with her and Yu Kuiyuan in the first place, now it turned into this kind of mess.

But just as he left, Xuan Er’s figure slowly appeared.

"Ah!"

He sighed softly.

Then he walked towards Cosine’s room and gently pushed the door open with a "creak."

"Didn’t I tell you to get out!"

Without turning her head, Cosine started cursing.

"It’s me!" Xuan Er’s voice sounded in the room.

She suddenly turned her head, and upon seeing it was Xuan Er, she immediately stood up, her angry face instantly turning tense, "Sorry, I thought it was Mo Hua! Why are you here!"

"Changed!"

Xuan Er looked at her, this was the woman he had thought of for so many years, but now she was in front of him, yet why did she feel so unfamiliar, completely different from his memories.

"Changed! Haha!"

Cosine smiled miserably, could she not change?

Although she was lucky to be rescued, she was just a woman, merely a fifth-grade, her father, once a Second-Grade Expert, but was seriously injured and crippled by the Inspectorate!

Her brother was even worse, a waste among wastes.

They fled to the wilderness, but that was not a place for people to live.

Barren and full of various Demon Beasts.

To get food, she had to rely on her own hands, her whole family depended on her!

Later, she married Mo Hua, who was at least a fourth-grade Martial Artist and a disciple of the Sanqing Sect, only then did life get better, at least she was free from worry about food and clothing.

Xuan Er’s one word ’changed’!

Suddenly, she became utterly agitated, how could she not change in such an environment and situation!

"Speak, how can I help you." Seeing this woman he once loved deeply now like this, his heart ached faintly.

"No need, you can go!"

Help?

How could he help!

"You..." Xuan Er hesitated, he genuinely wanted to help her, to finally put this past behind them, after which they’d have nothing to do with each other.

"Enough, really no need, you can’t help with my matters."

Cosine restrained her emotions, a cheerful smile appeared on her face, a very happy one, as she looked at him.

She wanted Xuan Er to remember this appearance, just as he saw now, still the same Cosine!

"Ah!"

Xuan Er sighed, "Think it over and come find me, or if you don’t want to see me, find Chen Xuan, I will instruct him."

"Mm!"

Cosine nodded, smiling even more happily.

However, after Xuan Er left, she seemed utterly exhausted, supporting herself with one hand on the chair next to her, tears stubbornly falling.

It’s not that she didn’t want Xuan Er’s help, she just couldn’t!

Her father, her brother, had been subjected to ’Meng Hua,’ their lives were in Luo Tian’s hands, unless she could bear not caring about them.

But—

She couldn’t do it!

Slowly sitting down on the chair, her eyes dim and lifeless, she thought had she known it would be like this, she might as well have died at the hands of the Inspectorate.

...

Leaving the room, Xuan Er came to where Chen Xuan was.

"Master!"

Chen Xuan was very surprised, after all, during this time, Xuan Er hadn’t left his room, let alone come here.

"There’s something I want you to do!"

"Your instructions!" At this moment, Chen Xuan also became serious, this was the first time Xuan Er had ever instructed him.

"Go find Mo Hua, by any means necessary, make him speak, what trouble Cosine encountered!"
