This woman... is really a fence-sitter.
"You!"
Ning Xin tapped her forehead, giving her a sideways glance.
"Now itâs time for your husband!"
"Hmph!"
"Dare to treat my brother like this, heâs very angry, and the consequences are serious!"
"Both of you kneel!"
Chen Xuan immediately got up and stood on the bed, pointing at the two women.
"If you donât listen, be careful of the familyâs punishment!"
He pretended to be angry.
"Yes, yes, we were wrong."
The two women cooperated.
If they didnât cooperate, they would probably be in trouble later.
The two obediently knelt, facing him.
"Wrong!"
"Turn around!"
Chen Xuan widened his eyes.
The two women exchanged glances, really, why does he like this so much!
But they still obediently turned around.
And bent over, forming a diagonal line from top to bottom.
"Phewâ"
Such a beautiful sight made Chen Xuanâs blood boil.
Executing family punishment.
"Bang bang bang..."
....
All night!
Chen Xuan had a great time, and the two women paid a âheavyâ price for their earlier disrespect.
The next day, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the flashing messages at the corner of his eye.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
A bit displeased.
Last night was so much fun, why didnât the system give more skill points?
"Pah! So inhumane."
Chen Xuan complained, tightened his hold on Lan MengâEr, and went back to sleep.
The two of them didnât wake up until noon when Ning Xin called them.
After eating, Ning Xin took Luan Ying and them for cultivation.
As for Chen Xuan, he of course accompanied Lan MengâEr.
After all, she had just switched to a new cultivation technique and needed to be careful.
In the room, Lan MengâEr was once again enveloped in white mist.
This time Chen Xuan used telepathy to observe.
"Actually, itâs just the combination of spiritual qi and water vapor."
Under telepathy, there were no secrets at all, so he extended a finger and hooked it.
A small cloud of mist came to his front.
He opened his mouth and inhaled lightly, and the mist was sucked into his mouth.
"Hmm!"
Nodding slowly, it had some healing effects, but... it was too weak.
Perhaps Lan MengâErâs current level in the "Water Moon Mist Technique" was too low, not even mastering the second level.
Chen Xuan had also looked at this cultivation technique.
At her current speed, it would take at least seven or eight days.
"Itâs probably okay now."
Leaving a spiritual power, he then left the small room.
Main hall!
Xian Si was sitting there.
Seeing him come out, she immediately stood up and said, "Pengyou wants to invite you to Ancient Moon Studio."
Chen Xuan sensed that she had been waiting here and had a rough guess in his heart.
"Hmm!"
Nodding slightly, "Iâll go right away."
Scholarly people... are a bit troublesome, itâs been so many days, if itâs a yes, say yes, if no, say no.
Too complicated, troublesome!
...
Ancient Moon Studio.
Gu Pengyou sat in the inner room, the book in her hand hadnât been read at all.
Her mind was full of images of Chen Xuan.
These past few days, both Gu Yun and Gu Xiang had discussed this with her in detail.
The conclusion was clearâshe is part of the Gu family, and Chen Xuan has a bright future, so she must consider this carefully.
But... although they said itâs for her to consider, from their attitude, this matter seemed almost settled in their eyes.
"Ah!"
She let out a long sigh.
As the darling of September City, she once imagined controlling her own fate.
But now it seems... rather laughable.
In front of the family... she was insignificant.
Of course, in her heart, she didnât blame her father or second uncle, after all, theyâve always lived by serving everything for the Gu family.
And her uncle who died in battle.
Without them, there wouldnât be todayâs glory of the Gu family.
"Actually... heâs quite nice."
Gu Pengyou whispered.
These days, her dilemma isnât about Chen Xuan himself, but her frustration at not being able to control her own destiny.
According to Chen Xuan, itâs just that scholarly people think too much.
Put simply, too pretentious.
"Da da da...."
A light sound of footsteps came from outside.
Gu Pengyou knew he was coming.
"Brother Xuan, in the inner room!"
She said softly.
Outside, Chen Xuan heard her voice, smiled, and wandered inside.
"Please sit down!"
Gu Pengyou stood up, very polite.
"Thanks!"
Chen Xuan replied and then sat opposite her.
"Please have some tea."
Chen Xuan nodded, feeling that she was different today, even unfamiliar.
Looking at the white jade teacup in front of him, he didnât rush to drink but spoke directly, "Whether you want or donât want, it doesnât matter, in the burial ground I will still protect you."
"And I donât really like forcing people against their will."
"Although forcibly picking melons can be exciting."
"Hehe!"
Gu Pengyou immediately laughed upon hearing this.
This was the first time she laughed in many days.
"Isnât this better? Smile more, itâs beautiful, frowning all the time makes one age faster."
Chen Xuan teased her, then picked up the teacup to drink.
"Hmm!"
He nodded in satisfaction, "Youâre quite good at brewing tea!"
"Come back to Molan Mansion with me, and brew tea for me from now on."
"Alright!"
This time, after merely a few breaths of consideration, Gu Pengyou agreed.
"As for the future... it depends on your performance."
Gu Pengyou rolled her eyes.
How could he say such words, so thick-skinned.
How is she not good enough?
Whether itâs her figure, looks, or knowledge, talent, sheâs top-notch.
In his eyes, why does it seem like sheâs desperately trying to win him over?
"Alright, teaâs finished, weâve talked, Iâll take my leave now, prepare yourself, Iâll send someone to inform you when itâs time to return to Molan Mansion."
