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

I came in from the outside, right?

【Yes. 】

Did you bring me in?

【Yes. 】

Did I come from the outside world beyond the three regions of Kyushu, or from an even more distant outside world?

[The system lacks the capacity to answer and needs to be upgraded again.]

The young man let out a long sigh of relief, and his stiff fingers finally fell.

I cannot answer that, but the system's response is already the answer.

After the Three Mysteries...

Absolutely no death, no life.

Chapter 45, Li Shuhua

Chu Xunfeng did not inquire too much about the outside world in the three regions of Kyushu from the system.

He had had the system for quite some time, and naturally he had figured out some of the rules of this so-called strongest immortal cultivation king system. It could answer many of his questions, which were things he could and should know.

The system not answering its own questions is probably the same as Ao Ning asking the Azure Dragon God, and the God not giving Ao Ning an answer.

Knowing too much only brings more trouble.

Another issue is insufficient strength.

He had barely touched the threshold of the Three Profound Realms, and it was too much of a worry to be thinking about what would happen after the Realm of Absolute Death and Life Breaking.

After seeing Ao Ning off, Chu Xunfeng returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and gradually emptied his mind, sinking into meditation.

The most important thing Chu Xunfeng needs to do right now is to cultivate and break through to the Profound Realm of the Human Being.

Meanwhile, at the inn where Xu Jiujing and his disciples were staying, an old man and a young boy arrived as guests.

At noon, the Supreme Sword Sect sent a young woman to the inn to deliver a visiting card. Xu Bailing was not at the inn at the time, but Xu Jiujing accepted it and agreed to the visit from the master and disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect.

At this moment, the person who greeted the two at the inn was Chu Xunfeng's senior sister, Yao Jiangshu.

She had seen Ning Qiuning sparring with Xu Bailing in front of the Sword Pavilion in Baidi City, but she had never seen the old woman who brought Ning Qiuning here. However, Xu Jiujing knew her, so she had instructed Yao Jiangshu in advance that she should not be impolite in greeting her.

"Elder Li, Miss Ning," Yao Jiangshu bowed slightly to the two of them. "My master is waiting for you two in the side room."

"Please lead the way, young lady," the elderly woman surnamed Li said with a smile.

Yao Jiangshu smiled but did not reply. She took advantage of the brief moment to carefully observe Ning Qiuning, who seemed quite uneasy, and then smiled and invited the two of them upstairs.

It was late at night, and apart from the innkeeper, no one else saw the two being led upstairs by Yao Jiangshu.

After knocking on Xu Jiujing's door, Yao Jiangshu led the two into the room. "Master, the person has been brought."

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Jiujing, who was boiling water to make tea, raised his eyelids, glanced at the old woman, and then looked at Ning Qiuning, who was secretly looking around the room. He raised his hand to the table opposite him and said, "Sit down."

After the old woman sat down, Ning Qiu Ning patiently sat down next to her master.

She didn't see Chu Xunfeng in the room, and she couldn't quite describe her feelings—whether she was disappointed or relieved, it was probably both.

"Li Shuhua, how many years has it been since we last met?" Xu Jiujing knew what these two wanted to do.

“It’s been almost five years since we last met,” Li Shuhua said with a wistful smile.

“We haven’t been in touch for five years, so it’s quite strange to receive your invitation today.” Xu Jiujing said, his gaze falling on Ning Qiuning. “I’m surprised that someone as stubborn as you would bow down to me for her.”

Ning Qiu Ning, feeling a little nervous under Xu Jiu Jing's scrutiny, nervously twisted her hands together under the table, not only because of Xu Jiu Jing's gaze but also because of what he said.

“Our affairs are one thing, but the younger generation’s affairs are none of our business.” Li Shuhua sighed and reached out to pat Ning Qiuning’s head. “Qiuning is very talented. I don’t want to see her tormenting herself like this. This matter shouldn’t be dragged on.”

Xu Jiujing stared at Li Shuhua for a while, "I don't know what Xunfeng is thinking. He's no longer a disciple of my Baidi City. Trying to resolve their ill-fated relationship by asking me to do it is probably a mistake."

Li Shuhua simply smiled and stared intently at Xu Jiujing.

Xu Jiujing didn't mind being watched by Li Shuhua. He poured tea for the two of them, then picked up his own teacup and calmly sipped the tea without saying a word.

Li Shuhua also silently picked up her teacup and remained silent.

Ning Qiu Ning lowered her head slightly, holding the teacup in both hands without drinking. She seemed to be struggling and considering. She actually had a lot to say, but in front of Xu Jiu Jing, there were some things she really couldn't say.

However, this strange silence made Ning Qiu Ning realize that her master and Xu Jiu Jing were both waiting for her to speak.

"Senior, I want to ask..." Ning Qiu Ning finally mustered up her courage, looked up at Xu Jiu Jing, and asked, "Is he doing well?"

His tone was wistful.

"It's alright, at least it's not bad." Xu Jiujing gently blew on the tea soup, his tone low and melancholy. "I'm trying to understand the Dao and clarify my aspirations, and I'm working on unifying the three cultivations. I plan to take some time to reflect and break through to the Three Profound Realms in one fell swoop. After that, I plan to leave the demon race and travel around the three regions of the Nine Provinces to seek opportunities and experiences."

Compared to dealing with the old woman, Xu Jiujing seemed easier to talk to Ning Qiuning.

"I see..." Her tone was incredibly complex; she seemed happy, but the melancholy and disappointment were impossible to hide.

Xu Jiujing fell silent again, only silently observing Ning Qiuning, who seemed to have taken good care of her appearance and clothing. The sorrow between the girl's brows seemed impossible to dispel, and just looking at her evoked pity in people's hearts.

"Senior, I wish to meet him. There are some things that cannot be conveyed by others; they must be said personally to have any meaning. Could you please offer some guidance?"

Ning Qiu Ning didn't know how to persuade Xu Jiu Jing, but knowing that Chu Xun Feng wouldn't leave the demon race anytime soon, she stopped worrying about the opportunity her master had gotten by doing her bidding.

So she simply spoke her mind.

After all, her master had warned her before she came not to be too humble and ask for favors, lest she humiliate herself. Moreover, she had understood the conversation between the two old people earlier; they seemed to have some grudges. If she begged now, she would only lose face for her master, and she couldn't do such a thing.

Ning Qiu Ning's straightforward attitude in asking for advice made Xu Jiu Jing look at this young girl with higher regard. He pondered for a while and said, "I will not directly get involved in the matter between you. If you want to seek the wind, I can point you to two paths."

Ning Qiuning's eyes brightened.

"One is the disciples under my command in this inn. I am an elder to Xunfeng, so I will not interfere. But they are of the same generation as Xunfeng. Whether they can help you with this matter is your business."

"The second option is to invite the Dragon Clan."

Ning Qiu Ning's bright eyes dimmed again.

"Old man, isn't it a bit unfair of you to say such things?" Li Shuhua frowned, looking at the composed Xu Jiujing.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Xu Jiujing smiled, looking at Li Shuhua, waiting for the old woman to speak.

Li Shuhua stared at Xu Jiujing for a long time before finally lowering her head. "Just tell Chu Xunfeng that Qiu Ning wants to see her. As for whether she comes or not, let Chu Xunfeng decide. How about that?"

"Why should I help you with this?" Xu Jiujing curled the corners of his lips and took a sip of tea.

"Do I really have to say the word 'beg'?" Li Shuhua squinted.

"I'm glad you've gone to such lengths." Xu Jiujing seemed to be in a good mood, putting down his teacup with a smile on his face.

"But I must tell you this: whether or not I meet you is Xunfeng's business. If this doesn't work out, don't come looking for me again."

Chapter 46, Each Making Their Own Move

In the early morning, as dawn broke, the gate to the side room of the courtyard was pushed open.

Chu Xunfeng slowly stepped out of the room, and with a light step, he rose into the air and finally landed lightly on the roof, where he sat down cross-legged.

As night turns to day, the spring breeze carries a chilling touch, gently brushing against the skin as if a sharp carving knife were lightly slicing through it.

The constantly circulating Wind Sensing Technique caused wisps of cold wind to swirl around Chu Xunfeng, ruffling the hem of the young man's clothes, and specks of blue light gradually merged into the young man's body.

The light spots are the spirit of the wind element.

Although Ao Jie's phantom explained the visualization method in the Illusionary Realm, the wind in the Illusionary Realm always lacked the liveliness of the real natural world.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the knocking on the door startled Chu Xunfeng from his meditation. The young man, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof, opened his eyes and looked down, seeing Ao Hanli standing outside the door, carrying a paper package, looking directly at him.

"Would you like some pancakes?" the Dragon Girl asked with a smile.

"Alright." Chu Xunfeng stood up, leaped down, opened the door for the Dragon Girl, and welcomed her into the small building.

The two sat down at the stone table.

The paper package contained two pancakes, glistening with oil and generously filled with minced meat. Each person ate one, savoring their delicious taste.

"This sesame seed cake shop is very famous; they haven't been out doing business for the past few days." After finishing her sesame seed cake, the Dragon Girl didn't forget to lick the oil and meat juice off her fingers.

As she spoke, she glanced at the young man who was focused on his breakfast.

Ao Hanli realized that her flirtatious glances were being wasted on the blind, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She simply calmed down and stopped trying to be charming.

After all, deep down, she really didn't think that what Sister Hongji had taught her would be useful to this wooden person in front of her.

After breakfast, Chu Xunfeng went into the private room and boiled some water. He placed a cup of tea on the table for each of them to cleanse their palates.

"The Demon Suppression Division sent word last night that Second Brother will be back tonight, and he'll come to see you tomorrow." Ao Hanli looked at Chu Xunfeng, and seeing that the young man didn't react, continued, "Some of those people from Yan Kingdom have been captured, and some have escaped. Do you want to go and take a look?"

If it were up to Chu Xunfeng himself, he wouldn't be interested in seeing those Yan Kingdom spies. After all, he was a spy and undercover agent, and those who knew would probably hate him to death. However, considering what his master had mentioned to him, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and take a look later."

"Alright, what are your plans for today?" the Dragon Girl said, her gaze fixed on Chu Xunfeng's face.

"I don't have any plans for the time being. I don't have that much to do. I stayed here to cultivate anyway." Chu Xunfeng turned his head and glanced at Ao Hanli, just in time to meet the Dragon Girl's burning gaze. He remained silent for a few seconds.

Their gazes met, and Chu Xunfeng remained unmoved in silence. In the end, it was Ao Hanli who couldn't help but look away. "Is that so? Do you need any help?"

Ao Hanli shifted her gaze to the entrance, but she didn't see the slight smile that appeared on Chu Xunfeng's face when he picked up his cup. This dragon girl really didn't know how to hide her feelings; everything was written all over her face.

She's a bit silly, but she's easy to get along with. Her occasional silly antics actually create a cute and endearing contrast.
