Chapter 132: Chapter 101: Offering Herself (Part 3)

"You want to stay by my side; is your real purpose to use me as a double cultivation furnace?"

Lan Cai’er shook her head repeatedly, "Master Chu, please see clearly, the ’Celestial Immortal Soul-Devouring Technique’ of our Hehuan Sect is not some third-rate thing used merely to gather Yang and supplement Yin, but an authentic Xuanmen double cultivation technique, directly pointing to the Great Dao of Yin and Yang."

"If you are interested, I can teach you the corresponding methods. By then, our Yin and Yang will complement each other, and our cultivation will surely increase rapidly. This is a mutually beneficial thing."

"As for the Dan Sect," Lan Cai’er hesitated for a moment, "at most, I can ask my sect to come forward and mediate."

"Anyway, I truly haven’t taken their Nine Revolutions Life-extending Pill. Other things I can return as they were, and conveniently expose the collusion between Elder Yan and the demonic cultivators."

"Then you should go," Chu Xuan waved his hand, "I can’t keep you by my side."

"And I must sternly warn your Hehuan Sect, if you dare to target me again in the future, I will definitely make you regret it."

If it was before going to Ghost Street, Lan Cai’er would have scoffed at these words. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But now, she’s not so sure.

Because according to a certain senior, Chu Xuan’s background is extremely mysterious, someone she needs to look up to, and she must not underestimate him.

Seeing Chu Xuan’s clarity of mind, both Gu and Qing relaxed.

Lan Cai’er was somewhat unwilling; she bit her lip and finally said:

"Today, I dare not force Master Chu, but the promise I made will always be valid."

"If one day you can truly rescue my parents, Cai’er won’t speak empty words like ’binding grass as gratitude, holding a whip as repayment,’ but will definitely do her utmost to repay your grace."

Saying this, she approached to show a bit of "sincerity," but the looks from Gu Haitang and Qingqing were sharp enough to kill, and Chu Xuan also shook his head at her.

So Lan Cai’er could only sigh helplessly, "Then I’ll leave first, Master Chu can come to Hehuan Sect to find me anytime in the future. I will definitely, definitely make you satisfied."

After emphasizing and hinting several times, she finally bowed and retreated, disappearing without a trace.

Only then did the two women sigh in relief, and Qingqing hurriedly grabbed Chu Xuan’s hand, "Let’s go, let’s go, we must completely shake off this person."

Gu Haitang also agreed deeply.

Chu Xuan found it somewhat amusing but still packed up his things and prepared to leave with them.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lan Cai’er sent a secret voice transmission from some unknown place, her voice both pitiful and filled with a certain ambiguity:

"Master Chu, if you still resent the matter of Xin Lan capturing you back then, next time you come to Hehuan Sect, my master and I can personally apologize to you, ensuring we do so to your satisfaction."

Chu Xuan almost stumbled, apologize? Are you sure it’s not that you two want to take turns draining me dry?

He quickly motioned for the two women to leave, not daring to stay any longer.

...

On the way, Qingqing looked at Chu Xuan with some curiosity and asked, "I thought you would agree, didn’t expect you’d refuse so decisively."

Gu Haitang frowned slightly, "Chu Xuan is not that kind of person; don’t you even understand this much?"

Qingqing was speechless, "I mean, before Lan Cai’er offered herself, Chu Xuan had already firmly refused."

"Winning every bet; I think what the senior said might well be true."

"If you participate, you might bankrupt that Ghost Gambling House, and then sweep through Ghost Market with your winnings, not only saving people but also making a big profit; isn’t that good?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, "Such words cannot be fully trusted; what if that ’one’ just wants to use me as a tool?"

"If I truly got caught in the Ghost Market, it would be heaven unresponsive, earth unhelpful."

"And now, my goal is not there."

The closer he got to Wuyou Valley, the more Chu Xuan felt an indescribable feeling.

Eight years have passed; is she, is she doing well? Does she still remember me?

Now, although Chu Xuan’s mind is much calmer, this doesn’t mean his eagerness for the truth has lessened.

On the contrary, he is desperate to know what kind of entanglement Ji Mingyu and himself during the Celestial Evil Period had?

Did she recognize him as the Celestial Demon in the beginning?

These two are the core key issues. If he knows these two points, Chu Xuan will understand why his master wanted to abolish his cultivation and expel him from the sect.

He has secretly decided that this time, he must find out no matter what!

Otherwise, if he missed this chance, who knows when they might meet again.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Haitang looked confusedly at the dazed Chu Xuan.

"Nothing," Chu Xuan smiled, "I was wondering if the ’Celestial Immortal Soul-Devouring Technique’ is truly an authentic Xuanmen dual cultivation technique. Neither of you refuted that."

Qingqing disdainfully curled her lips, "Hehuan Sect originally had two fundamental techniques, one is the ’Celestial Demon Enchanting Buddha Technique’; the other is the ’Hehuan Soul-Devouring Technique’."

"The former is more powerful but easy to fall into the demonic path and difficult to control."

"The latter, although vaguely pointing to the Great Dao of Yin and Yang and without cultivation risks, is an incomplete technique that can only cultivate to the sixth realm, after which the path ends."

"Thus, many years ago, Hehuan Sect’s cultivators mostly practiced the ’Celestial Demon Enchanting Buddha,’ only those disciples with a determined limit would choose the ’Hehuan Soul-Devouring.’"

"Until the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable emerged with a surprising reputation—said nicely, it’s chivalrous; said unpleasantly, it’s lecherous."

"He seemed quite interested in the Hehuan Sect, forming a passionate relationship with the Hehuan Sect Leader at that time, some six or seven hundred years ago."
