Chapter 96 [The Resentful Chu Keqing] (7000 words)
Chapter 7000: The Resentful Chu Keqing ( words)
Standing at the intersection outside Chen Yan's yard, the young Chu stammered with a red face, and then after a long and strenuous effort, he finally managed to explain the matter clearly.

The story begins on New Year's Eve.

Just after midnight on New Year's Eve, on the first day of the new year, a New Year picture was posted on the back door of the temple.

He's just a little slow in thinking, but he's not really a fool after all. He understands a lot of things and has the ability to express himself emotionally.

In the past period of time, he just thought it was a dream - but the young man had this kind of dream over and over again, and each time it was the same person, with lingering love and sweet words in the dream.

I have been thinking about it day and night, and I can't forget the people and things in my dream. I always fantasize that if this dream becomes true one day, how great it would be if the people in the dream who understand me and know my feelings... become real?

Any man would probably have the same thoughts.

The result... came true!

I can’t describe how I felt that night, when I put up the New Year pictures on the first day of the new year.

There may be anxiety, excitement, joy, and anticipation...

Then, the two female fairies arrived as expected, and the family of three finally accomplished good things in reality instead of just in the guise of dreams.

Well, there's no need to go into the details.

The silly boy Chuyi was like a person who suddenly won the first prize in the lottery. He felt that he was probably the luckiest person in the world.

then……

In the morning, the two female fairies spoke to him again, which was like a bucket of cold water poured on Chuyi's head!
The two female fairies told Chuyi that their fate with Chuyi was running out. At most, they could meet Chuyi twice more, and after that... their fate would be over!
I was totally stunned when I was in the first grade!

How does it feel?

It’s like you won the first prize and took home millions. As soon as you got the check, you only had time to treat yourself to a big meal... There are still many fantasies in your mind about consumption, such as houses and cars, which have not yet been realized.

Suddenly someone takes the money and tells you: Sorry, the first prize you won is actually just a trial voucher.

Now the experience time is full.

I went crazy on the first day of the new year!

He couldn't accept it. The happiness of his long-awaited dream coming true was gone right after he got it?!
The two female fairies were loyal to him. Chuyi, this simple-minded fool, was also loyal to him.
How could he bear to do that!
The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After crying, Huang Ling'er (Huang Daxian spirit), one of the two female fairies, told Chuyi: It's not that they are heartless and want to leave Chuyi. It's just that humans and fairies have different paths after all!
Monsters have their own demonic aura, and a brief contact is not a big deal. Moreover, Chuyi has a special physique and strong yang fire, so he can withstand the demonic aura better than ordinary people.

But as time went on, under the invasion of evil spirit, Chuyi was just a mortal after all, and would definitely be harmed by the evil spirit!

By then, at best you will suffer from continuous illnesses and disasters, at worst you may die young!
The two female demons cannot stay and harm Chuyi.

Chuyi asked with tears in her eyes, is there no other way?
Huang Ling'er told Chuyi that it was possible, but basically impossible.

Unless she and Tu Cuicui (the rabbit spirit) both cultivated to a legendary realm called the Heavenly Realm!
Legend has it that if a demon cultivator reaches the celestial realm, he can shed his demonic aura and no longer have any problems!

But the problem is that the two fairies have been practicing for so many years, and according to the legends passed down from generation to generation, they have never heard of any fairy being able to truly practice to the realm of heaven and man.

I have never heard of the existence of the realm of heaven and man in this world.

(After hearing this, Chen Yan concluded that these two goblins were not like the old lady who came from the domain.

Rather, they are local elves, descendants of those beings who escaped from the domain many, many years ago and came to this world—similar to their own Gui Geng.)
Having said that, the family of three hugged each other and cried bitterly again.

Then, the rabbit spirit named Tu Cuicui suddenly said something after she finished crying.

"Maybe, we can ask that great cultivator. Does he have a solution? He has great magical powers. We, the master and the disciple, are no match for him. Besides, he is a friend of Chuyi and he has sympathy for us. Maybe..."

Then, Chuyi ran over and knelt in front of Chen Yan.

·
Mr. Chen grinned when he heard this!

Look carefully at the first day in front of you...

Could this kid be a man born with a male protagonist destiny?

An ignorant and honest boy in the mountain village, with a peculiar innate abnormal physique!
He has had a miserable life since childhood.

When he grew up, he became a disciple of an old monk in a mountain temple.

I met two charming female fairies and fell in love with them instantly. Not only did they take their essence, but they also gave them a large sum of gold as a reward!

So even if I gave him a bag of gold, it still wouldn't work...

Still thinking about staying with him forever?

Is it true that stupid boys are lucky?

——What a cool male protagonist!
Chen Yan sighed and looked into Chuyi's eyes: "So... you don't want them to leave, you want to stay with them forever, is that what you mean?"

"I, I got their bodies, so I should be responsible. I want to marry them as my wives!"

Chuyi gave a simple and honest answer.

Screw you... Chen Yan rolled his eyes.

I want to marry them as my wives!

Listen, is this human language?!
Well, the words he spoke weren't human, so the person he married wasn't human either, right?!
So... I have to find a way to help you guys, right?

Chen Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and woke up.

Damn it, it turns out I’m not Fahai!

I am the chivalrous Yan Chixia who helps Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian to be together!
Seeing Chen Yan was speechless and seemed to be thinking about something, Chu Yi was anxious. He was not good at speaking, so he could only kneel down again, almost wanting to kowtow to Chen Yan.

"Get up!"

Chen Yan quickly pulled the guy up and patted the dirt off his legs.

"As for a solution... it's not impossible. But it's a bit difficult and has some twists and turns. Are you determined?"

Chuyi's eyes lit up!
"Yes! Brother, what should I do? Tell me, I will do it no matter how difficult it is!"

Chen Yan glanced at the time. It was just past half past ten, and there was still some time until noon.

"Are they in the temple on the mountain now?"

"Yes, yes."

"Take me with you. My method won't work if I tell you alone. You three have to discuss it together and all three have to agree." Chen Yan waved his hand.

Chuyi's face immediately showed surprise, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Brother! As long as there is a way, I, I... I will invite you to the mountain, I, I will grill fish for you!"

Eat fish?

No...brother, have you forgotten that you are a monk now?

Forget it, Chen Yan sighed.

Anyway, these master and disciple are both fake monks.

·
Chen Yan did not go home, but went directly up the mountain with Chuyi to the temple.

As soon as he entered the temple gate, he saw two women standing in the courtyard. The two female fairies were already waiting there in a well-behaved manner. When they saw Chen Yan and Chuyi walk into the gate, the two female fairies immediately bowed to the ground, muttering, "Thank you, Master..."

"Don't thank me yet. I haven't said I can definitely help." Chen Yan waved his hand and took a step to the side, indicating that he did not accept the other party's greeting.

Only then did Chen Yan carefully examine the two female demons. They were both wearing long monk robes - probably the clothes for the first day of the lunar year.

The one on the left was taller, with a cold expression and a hint of arrogance and stubbornness between her brows. The one on the right was shorter but more rounded, with a pair of round eyes and a hint of enchantment in her gaze.

After using the Qi-gazing technique to take a look, he found that the tall and cold one should be the weasel spirit that he had fought with that night, and the short and plump one... was the rabbit spirit that had crawled into his bed.

After taking a look, Chen Yan immediately looked away - he couldn't look any longer.

Thinking of the night when the rabbit spirit crawled through his bed, Chen Yan felt a little embarrassed.

After a dry cough, Chen Yan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Chu Yi has already explained your thoughts to me just now, but he said it, I still need to hear you two explain your feelings."

The two female demons exchanged a glance, and Huang Ling'er (the weasel demon) slowly said, "That night, my master and I were ignorant of our place and offended the master. Thankfully, the master spared our lives. We, my master and I..."

"Okay, stop being polite."

Chen Yan waved his hand again: "I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner, so there's no need to be so polite. Let me make it clear, you have no intention of harming Chuyi. If you had wanted to harm others, I would not have spared your lives. So there's no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank yourselves for not doing anything to harm others."

Huang Ling'er quickly said, "Yes! Although my master and I are demon cultivators, we usually practice in the mountains and avoid the world. We have never used our cultivation to harm others."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chuyi, but Chuyi was a simple, simple boy who didn't know how to respond and didn't respond. However, her rabbit apprentice Tu Cuicui was a bit smarter and quickly said, "It's windy outside, please come in and talk."

Chen Yan grinned and said, "Let's go to the main hall to talk. It's more spacious there."

He didn't want to go to the Zen room on the first day of the new year.

The room on the first day of the new year is small and narrow, without even a table. Do I have to sit on the bed when I go in?
God knows what these people did on that bed last night! Chen Yan didn't want to sit there and talk.

After entering the main hall, the four of them stood under the Buddha statue. Chen Yan then turned and pointed at the two demons, saying slowly, "We are all fellow practitioners. Now, in front of me, you must swear an oath to the Buddha and clearly state your thoughts. I also want to confirm your intentions."

The two female fairies did not dare to hesitate and walked over and knelt under the Buddha statue.

Huang Ling'er raised her right hand and said loudly, "Little cultivator Huang Ling'er swears to the Heavens that I only wish to be married to Wang Lang on the first day of his life, to grow old together, and never have any other thoughts! I have only respect and love for Wang Lang in my heart. If I have even the slightest thought of being different, let me die in the fire of catastrophe, reduced to ashes and my soul scattered!"

Tu Cuicui beside her also raised her right hand and said, "Heaven is above! Little cultivator Tu Cuicui reports: What my master just said is also my intention! If I have any other intentions, I will die in the fire of catastrophe, reduced to ashes and smoke, and my soul will be scattered!"

Chen Yan used the Qi-gazing technique to observe that when the two female fairies swore, their Qi was stable and they were absolutely not lying. Moreover, when they swore, they also used their vital energy to resonate with the heaven and earth.

Chen Yan's cultivation was still young, and his knowledge of cultivation came entirely from the booklet left by the old lady. In fact, he didn't understand a lot of common sense. Especially this kind of Heavenly Dao oath, how effective it was, and what the retribution would be if it was not followed, he didn't quite understand.

But seeing the stern expressions of these two demons, I guess they are sincere.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan nodded and said, "I don't care about anything else. You and my brother Chuyi are together, and the future of your emotions is hard to predict. These days, couples break up and spouses part ways. But there is only one thing you have to remember: Chuyi is my friend. Even if one day you have other thoughts, I won't care about you.

But if you dare to harm Chuyi, I will capture you wherever you are, tear out your tendons and skin you, and turn you into ashes!"

Both of the female fairies had stern expressions on their faces: "I have absolutely no other intentions!"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Chen Yan sighed, "Heaven has its own destiny. After all, humans and demons have different paths. Mortals cannot be exposed to demonic energy for long periods of time, so it is destined that it will be difficult for you to stay together forever." Huang Ling'er looked gloomy, "If I cultivate to the legendary heavenly realm...but this matter is too vague..."

Chen Yan shook his head: "You are also a cultivator, so of course you know that it is impossible to break through the Mirror Heaven Realm in this world. Moreover, even if you can cultivate to the Heaven Realm, you are only at the Return to Origin Realm now, right? Above that is the Stage Realm. After the Stage Realm, there is the Great Heavenly Tribulation of the Great Stage!

Even if one is a genius, able to survive the heavenly tribulation, break the shackles of the world's laws, and reach the realm of the celestial being...

How many years will this take? Fifty years? A hundred years? By then, Chuyi will be fucking dead."

Huang Ling'er's expression darkened. "I know that it's simply impossible to expect me to break through to the Celestial Realm. Besides, there's my disciple Tu Cuicui. She has average talent and has only just transformed after years of cultivation, reaching the 'Introduction Realm'."

Chen Yan looked at the two goblins with a strange smile on his face: "So you actually already have an idea in mind, which is why you let Chuyi come down the mountain to beg me. You also know in your hearts that there is another way to go, but you don't dare to come to me to beg. You think that I have a good relationship with Chuyi, so you let him come to me to beg me, so I will soften my heart, right?"

Huang Ling'er lowered her head and whispered, "I dare not hide it from you, Master. My master and I do have such thoughts."

Chuyi was listening at the side with a bewildered look on his face. After a while, he reacted and looked at Huang Ling'er: "Ah, my brother means that you actually thought of a solution a long time ago, right?"

Chen Yan patted Pa Chuyi's shoulder and said, "She knows a way, but she needs my help. She can't do it."

"Yes, what is the solution?"

Chen Yan smiled and looked at Huang Ling'er.

Huang Linger said slowly, "Since we can't count on my master and disciple to dispel the evil spirit after breaking through the realm of heaven and man, then we can only find a way to let Wang Lang enter the Dao! As long as he can practice successfully, even if it's just to the lowest level of [Entering the Room Realm], he can draw the vital energy of heaven and earth into his body and use it to nourish his flesh.

With vital energy entering his body and nourishing him constantly, he has attained enlightenment and no longer needs to worry about attacks from demonic energy."

Chen Yan nodded, "Yes, that's the method. But you are demon cultivators, and the techniques you practice are inaccessible to humans. And you don't understand human techniques. In this world, the laws of nature are ruthless, and cultivation is difficult. There are very few people in the world who truly achieve enlightenment, and it's difficult for you to find the techniques humans practice.

It just so happens that there is a cultivator like me right before your eyes, so you set your sights on me, right?"

Huang Ling'er's expression tightened: "The master is very good at predicting things. My master and I have these little thoughts in mind, but the master's eyes are as clear as fire!

It’s just that the cultivation methods of humans are too difficult to find. Even if we look for them in the secular world, even if we find someone with real cultivation skills, it is still extremely difficult to obtain their methods.

"Who doesn't treasure their own martial arts? Even if we use force, we may not be able to defeat a truly enlightened practitioner. Secondly, even if we can defeat them, they treasure their martial arts and may not be willing to surrender."

Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The path of cultivation is difficult. Even if I am willing to teach Chuyi, whether he is suitable for cultivation or not depends on fate.

Even if he has a talent for cultivation, you are also cultivators, and you should know how difficult this path is. Even for those with talent, it may not be smooth sailing to enter the Tao.

He turned his head to glance at Chuyi and said to Huang Ling'er, "How about this? I can try to teach him the technique. But... I'll make a deal with you guys. It'll take one year. If Chuyi has talent, he should be able to make some progress in a year. If he can't even get started in a year, then forget it."

The two female fairies were overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground again. "It is our blessing that the master is willing to preach! Don't even think about one year! Even if it's ten or twenty years, we are willing to wait!"

"A year is enough to see if you have talent or not. It doesn't take that long." Chen Yan shook his head: "Alright, everyone, get up."

He looked at the family of three and sighed, "How about this, during the Spring Festival, you can spend some quality time together. When I leave in a few days, Chuyi will go with me and practice cultivation with me for a year."

During this year, you two demons must cultivate well in the mountains and refrain from causing any trouble. At the end of the year, regardless of whether Chuyi attains enlightenment or not, I will allow him to return.

At that time, whether you will stay together forever or say goodbye will depend on fate."

The two female fairies were very excited after hearing this, but Chuyi was a little confused. He looked confused and just asked, "Brother, do you mean that I should leave with you after a few days?"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Are you willing?"

Chuyi didn't hesitate and nodded, "Brother, I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I'm willing to be with you...Brother, when can I come back to see them?"

As he said that, the silly boy turned his head to look at the two female fairies.

Chen Yan snorted, "I'm taking you away to learn some skills. If you learn well, you can be with them in the future. If you don't learn well... then you two won't be destined to be together in the future."

Chuyi was shocked, nodded repeatedly, clenched his fists and said: "Brother! I will definitely learn it well even if I try my best!"

"Well, silly boy. Have a good reunion before you leave with me."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he patted Chuyi on the shoulder and turned away.

He had only taken two steps when Chuyi called out from behind, "Brother, aren't you staying for dinner? I'll make you some grilled fish."

Chen Yan waved his hand: "You three can have a good reunion!"

Eat grilled fish?
If I stay, will I get grilled fish? It's more like dog food!
You have a family of three?
When I go back, I also have a family of three there!

Well, the setting is a bit weird.

·
As he walked down the mountain, Chen Yan had already made up his mind.

There was no way he would teach Chuyi the martial arts technique left by the old lady - it wasn't that he was cold-hearted, but this martial arts technique was left to her by the old lady, so how could she teach it to outsiders at will?

The skills taught by the Venerable must be of the highest grade!

To put it bluntly, Chuyi is also related to Chen Yan?

It was true that Chuyi was a childhood friend of Chen Yan's in the village - but he had always relied on Chen Yan since he was little, and Chen Yan didn't owe him anything.

There was a little bit of affection between them when they were young. But if you were to say that they were such close brothers, it would be far from enough!

Back then, Chen Yan had good intentions. Under the old lady's guidance, he was kind to others and did not bully Chuyi. When he saw others bullying him, he would also protect them.

But if you want to say there's any kind of heart-to-heart friendship, there really isn't one. Generally speaking, there's more sympathy and pity.

——He can help others, but he is not so saintly as to pass on his own top-grade skills to anyone!

The old lady's skills must not be easily passed on to outsiders.

So……

Looking for Gu Xiaoniang?

That won’t work either.

Gu Xiaoniang learned the art of killing! She entered the Dao through fighting and cultivated herself through killing intent.

Moreover, the Gu family is a wealthy family in the domain. Does that mean their martial arts are just commonplace? They can just teach outsiders at will? You're dreaming!

Fortunately, Chen Yan also knew another set of skills!
After he walked down the mountain, he slowly strolled towards home, taking out his cell phone and making a call.

The call was connected after only two rings, and a woman's voice with a slight nasal tone and a slightly lazy tone came from the phone.

"Senior Chen Yan, I greet you. You are back home for the holidays. Is everything going well?"

Chu Keqing's tone was very respectful - in fact, she had already called to say hello on New Year's Eve.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Chu..."

"Junior is here, please give me your instructions, senior."

"Hmm..." Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "I want to recommend someone to you to join your Yun Sect and become a nominal disciple."

On the other end of the phone, Chu Keqing was actually stunned for a moment.

Chu Keqing was thinking: "Recommend someone to practice in my Yun Sect? Senior Chen Yan, you are so capable, why don't you teach yourself?"

Even though she thought so, she didn't hesitate for a second and immediately said with a surprised tone, "The person recommended by the senior must be a talented and promising talent! Then forget about the nominal disciple. I am willing to accept him as a direct disciple! I can also take on the position of headmaster in the future..."

"Ahem..." Chen Yan coughed twice, his tone a little strange: "Uh, there's no need for a direct disciple! I don't plan to let him take on important responsibilities in the Yun Sect, so let him just be a nominal disciple."

Chu Keqing was silent for two seconds. Chen Yan guessed that this woman was probably also confused.

He simply stated, "To be honest, I'm interested in helping this person I introduced to practice. Since he's someone I know, it would be most convenient for me to teach him personally."

But my sect has special rules and cannot easily accept people. So after much thought, I want to recommend you to your Yun Sect to practice and become a nominal disciple."

Without waiting for Chu Keqing's response, Chen Yan added, "If you feel it's inappropriate, I won't force you.

If you are willing to do me this favor, in exchange, I can help your Yun Sect once for free in the future.

What do you think? "

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Chu Keqing sighed, her tone surprisingly carrying a hint of resentment: "Senior... is this how you view Keqing?"

"Huh?" Chen Yan was stunned.

Chu Keqing's tone was filled with a hint of deep meaning, "Senior, you have corrected our sect's techniques for me and fixed the mistakes and omissions within them. This is a great favor to our Yun Sect, like a rebirth! I think about this great favor day and night and don't know how to repay you. Senior, if you have any orders, I will not hesitate!"

Why did the senior say something like exchange conditions?

Could it be that in the eyes of the seniors, I, Chu Keqing, am the kind of ungrateful and ungrateful person?"

The words were spoken in a sad tone, and the woman had a natural nasal voice. When she spoke in this tone, it was as if a woman was whispering her sorrows to you.

Chen Yan shuddered and coughed before saying, "Xiao Chu... you misunderstood. I just thought that martial arts techniques are treasures of any sect and are not easily passed on, so..."

"No matter how important the technique is, it has been corrected by you, Senior! Without your correction, our Yun Sect's technique wouldn't be so valuable." Chu Keqing smiled bitterly and said slowly, "I understand what you mean. The person you are talking about can be a nominal disciple of our Yun Sect. I have no objection."

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded. "Xiao Chu, I'll go back to Jinling Prefecture in a few days and bring the person to you. The conditions I mentioned are also valid!"

Chu Keqing hummed, "I'll do whatever you say. But... as for the conditions, I don't want the one you mentioned. I do have another request."

"You say." Chen Yan raised his eyebrows.

"I said last time that I would treat you as my teacher in this life. But you still call me Xiao Chu, which is too distant. When my teacher was alive, he always called me Ke Qing. From now on, please call me Ke Qing."

"..."

Chen Yan held the phone in his hand without saying a word.

Why... do I feel like I'm being teased?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yan slowly said, "That... Keqing?"

Chu Keqing seemed to brighten up instantly, and said with a smile: "Well! Then as the senior said, we will meet in Jinling Mansion!"
