Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

"Yes, thank you, Miss Hongji. I would also like to trouble you to convey my message to His Highness Ao Ning. I will certainly not fail in my duty regarding the matter of leaping over the Dragon Gate." Chu Xunfeng looked at Hongji.

The dragons never did anything to me from the beginning, and now they've spent a lot of money on me. I have to make a statement, at least so that they don't feel like they've wasted all that money on me.

If there's no attitude at all, there won't be a next time.

With the matter settled, Hong Ji led Chu Xunfeng away from Tiangong Workshop.

"Have you memorized the way to Tiangong Workshop, young master?" Hong Ji asked as she approached. "And do you know the way back as well?"

"I've remembered them all." Chu Xunfeng nodded.

"I still have some matters to attend to as instructed by His Highness, so I won't lead the way for you, young master. If you need anything, please go to Denglong Pavilion and find Manager Turtle."

"Yes, thank you for today." Chu Xunfeng clasped his hands in thanks and watched Hong Ji walk quickly towards the South District.

Chu Xunfeng stood silently on the street of Tiangongfang for a while. After thinking for a while, he decided to go to the address that Queya had left him.

After taking only a few steps, Chu Xunfeng suddenly stopped. He suddenly understood why Hong Ji had suddenly spent so much money to have a long spear custom-made for him.

Because of the people from Baidi City.

However, the Dragon Clan's inexplicable emphasis on him made Chu Xunfeng feel unreal, since he had never been an important figure since arriving in this world.

The Chu family was scattered after their ancestral home was raided.

Living under the roof of the Ning family, he was treated coldly.

In Baidi City, it was used as a bargaining chip and traded to the demon race.

As a result, when they arrived in the demon race, they were suddenly given unparalleled importance, and their status soared from the depths of the earth to the clouds. Anyone would feel a sense of dislocation.

However, this was simply because Chu Xunfeng himself was unaware of it.

He had been cultivating for less than half a year when he reached the fourth stage of body cultivation, with his qi and blood circulating throughout his body and his mind flowing freely.

The soldier, having only cultivated for two months, had already surpassed the level that could be judged by the ordinary starting fourth realm. He hadn't even mastered recruiting and training soldiers yet, but his offensive intent, combined with his physical cultivation of qi and blood, allowed him to fight a dragon girl of the Human Profound Realm head-on for a quarter of an hour, going toe-to-toe with her.

Chu Xunfeng was unaware of this, but the Dragon Clan could see everything clearly.

This speed of cultivation and this level of comprehension can no longer be simply described as genius.

This is an absolute prodigy, a true genius.

If we don't try to win over Chu Xunfeng now, are we going to wait until he's truly successful and shines brightly in the Three Profound Realms before belatedly trying to build a relationship with him?

By then, it will be too late.

The icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely.

Even if Chu Xunfeng fails to leap over the Dragon Gate, we still need to find a way to firmly bind him to the Dragon Clan's war chariot.

Even if you can't bind them, you still have to maintain a good relationship.

This was the decision Ao Ning made, and it was a decision that most of the dragon clan agreed with.

Testimonials

Well, I was suddenly notified that it would be available for purchase. Although I had guessed that this day would come, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Because the entire book is so slow-paced, I was prepared for it to flop for half a year.

Some readers have commented that this book feels like a trip back ten years, and that's true.

Because the author is essentially a working-class person, he has too many troubles in his life. Reading novels is purely a matter of personal interest. He has been reading for many years, and after reading a lot, he gradually developed the idea of ​​trying to write his own.

Anyway, that's how it's written down.

Although I'm a newcomer, I'm still very confident that I can finish writing a million words. The outline is just a rough draft, but the detailed outlines for each volume are laid out in advance. Gentlemen who like this book can rest assured and continue reading.

As a working professional, I don't have much free time each day. Today, even with the book going on sale, I can only update once. I hope you, my dear readers, can understand the hardships of a part-time writer like me. Thank you all!

So, without further ado, I hope everyone will give me your support.

Ershi will also try his best to write a good story and present it to you, sirs!

Chapter 57, Senior Brothers and Sisters

Plum Blossom Courtyard is located at the junction of the North and South cities of the Demon Clan's capital, leaning towards the South City. It was once the residence of a deer demon.

Now, a man and a woman are sitting in the small pavilion in the courtyard. Yao Jiangshu has a steaming teacup in front of her, while the stranger has a small wine vessel in front of him.

"Junior sister, will that junior brother come?" the unfamiliar man asked.

"It's hard to say." Yao Jiangshu held the teacup, rubbing the rim of it with her wet fingers, which produced a dull humming sound as she rubbed the thin porcelain bowl.

"Don't you two get along? You're not even willing to meet him?" The man frowned slightly.

"If I were bought off by Baidi City like that, how do you think I would feel?" Yao Jiangshu squinted and looked up at her senior brother. "I know the sect leader may not have had a choice, but the morale of the people in Baidi City has been shaken because of this incident."

The eldest disciple pursed his lips. He recalled the way many disciples looked at him after he returned to the sect. They didn't understand, but the admiration and respect they once had for him were gone. Instead, they looked at him with more scrutiny.

Even the elders' direct disciples can be traded... who knows, this situation might happen to them in the future.

"White Emperor City doesn't seem to be the same White Emperor City it used to be," the eldest disciple sighed, but remained silent.

Yao Jiangshu, who was propping her cheek with one hand, raised her eyes and glanced at her senior brother. Just as she was about to speak, the two of them heard a knock on the gate of Plum Blossom Courtyard. The knocking was very rhythmic, with three short and three long knocks.

"They're here." Yao Jiangshu suddenly smiled, got up and walked towards the courtyard gate, then opened it.

When Chu Xunfeng saw Yao Jiangshu, he was about to greet her when, unexpectedly, this senior sister hugged him tightly, and a sweet fragrance enveloped the young man.

Chu Xunfeng was stunned for a moment, but finally raised his hand and patted Yao Jiangshu's back, "Senior Sister".

"You're still willing to acknowledge me as your senior sister?" Yao Jiangshu released the young man, took a half step back, and carefully examined Chu Xunfeng. "You've lost weight."

"No." Chu Xunfeng's calm expression was tinged with a hint of a smile.

“If I say it’s there, then it is.” Yao Jiangshu pulled Chu Xunfeng into the courtyard. “Let me introduce you. This is our senior brother, Mo Xun. He was the one who gave you that dagger when we went to the Southern Wilderness.”

[User, this is a beginner-level Earth Profound Realm cultivator, a magic practitioner.]

"Hmm." Chu Xunfeng looked at the man's face. He was rather thin, dressed in a black robe, and had the air of a scholar. He was smiling at the moment. Chu Xunfeng stepped forward and greeted him, "Senior Brother Mo Xun."

"I never imagined that we, fellow disciples, would meet in this kind of setting, under these circumstances," Mo Xun said, seemingly quite emotional.

Yao Jiangshu had already pulled Chu Xunfeng to sit down in the pavilion. "Junior brother, you don't know, after Master heard that the sect leader sold you to the demon race, he was furious. For more than two months, he didn't even step out of the nineteenth floor, didn't go to the elders' meeting, and refused to see anyone."

"Mmm." Chu Xunfeng responded softly with a gentle smile.

Yao Jiangshu cautiously observed Chu Xunfeng's expression. Seeing that he remained unmoved, her heart skipped a beat. She gently squeezed Chu Xunfeng's hand, "Junior brother, you...aren't angry?"

"I'm not angry. After all, I've already returned it to the sect leader." Chu Xunfeng smiled. "The White Tiger God said that only one of us, the young lady and I, could leave her territory alive. She made me choose, and I chose the young lady to die."

“A life for a life. When I chose her to die, Xu Bailing owed me nothing. It’s Baidi City’s ability to save her from the White Tiger God.”

Chu Xunfeng spoke with a smile; he wasn't angry at all, but rather indifferent.

But Mo Xun sighed deeply, "We were able to protect Xu Bailing, but we couldn't protect you as well. What the sect leader did this time..."

"The White Tiger God simply didn't pursue the matter further." Chu Xunfeng shook his head with a smile. If the White Tiger hadn't held back, one or two people from the White Emperor City group would have lost their lives under the tiger's claws.

"Junior Brother, are you not planning to return to Baidi City?" Mo Xun asked Chu Xunfeng.

"I don't plan to go back for now." Chu Xunfeng shook his head; there was no point in hiding it. "We'll make plans for the future later."

"You want to stay in the demon race?" Yao Jiangshu frowned as she looked at Chu Xunfeng.

"No, not at all." Chu Xunfeng shook his head again. "The matter of those who are not of my kind is the same for both humans and demons. I am staying here temporarily because the dragon and demon races may need my help with some things. I owe the dragon race a lot of favors, and I have to repay them before I can leave legitimately."

Looking at Chu Xunfeng's calm demeanor, Mo Xun suddenly laughed, "Junior brother, since you have a plan and confidence, then everything is up to you. Master asked me to pass on a message to you."

Chu Xunfeng turned his gaze to Mo Xun, the senior brother he was meeting for the first time.

“You must remember that you became Xu Jiujing’s disciple, and the tea you served was also drunk by Xu Jiujing. This time, Baidi City sold you out, and Baidi City owes you. Your master is waiting for you on the nineteenth floor of the Sword Pavilion. He will wait for you to come back and then collect everything that Baidi City owes you.” Mo Xun looked at Chu Xunfeng solemnly.

Chu Xunfeng fell silent.

Yao Jiangshu noticed that Chu Xunfeng's muscles tensed slightly before slowly relaxing.

"I understand. Please tell Master that I will go back."

"Hmm." Mo Xun smiled gently. "You are far away in the demon realm, and Jiang Shu and I will be going back to report in a few days. If there is anything you need your senior brother to help you with, don't hesitate to ask."

"..." Chu Xunfeng was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Senior brother, I want to ask, will the human race be invited to the Dragon Gate Leaping event next spring?"

Mo Xun and Yao Jiangshu exchanged a glance. Mo Xun then turned his gaze back to Chu Xunfeng's face. "Yes, and quite a few major sects will be invited, including some sects from Yan Kingdom."

“Yan Kingdom…” Upon hearing his senior brother Mo Xun’s words, Chu Xunfeng suddenly grasped a key point and stared at his senior brother.

Mo Xun also noticed Chu Xunfeng's seriousness and sat up straight.

Chu Xunfeng deliberately avoided his senior brother's gaze and lowered his head in thought.

He was pondering what kind of external force he should seek if he were to seize power during the "Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" ceremony in the spring of the following year.

"If Kang is propelled to the position of royalty, he will wage war against the human race."

"The Azure Dragon God Lord is worried that if war breaks out, the Nine Provinces may be unified."

“Then, with aligned interests, an alliance becomes possible.” Chu Xunfeng narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and looked at his senior brother, “Senior Brother Mo Xun, the demon race is currently experiencing undercurrents, and I have some analysis to share… Please listen.”

“Alright.” Mo Xun nodded solemnly.
