Nong Zhu was somewhat dazed, while Shu Xin gazed at him with boundless shyness and tender affection. A cup of wine was placed between them. The aroma wafting from it wasn't the scent of wine, but rather seemed to be countless threads of love, trying to entwine Nong Zhu.

The group fell silent, all eyes fixed on Nong Zhu. Their past was no secret among them. Nong Zhu was not only highly skilled in the Cultivation World, but also renowned for his dashing and romantic nature. Coupled with his naturally striking good looks, few women could escape his clutches.

As everyone knows, Nong Zhu was once Shu Xin's lover, and the two were together for a while. However, Nong Zhu was too fickle, and no woman could hold him back. He probably got tired of her and quietly dumped Shu Xin, then hooked up with another famous beauty in the Cultivation World.

But Shu Xin's cultivation was no weaker than his, unlike other women who let him kick them around at will. As a result, she killed the beautiful woman that Nong Zhu had recently hooked up with, and then clung to Nong Zhu relentlessly, so Nong Zhu had to hide from her everywhere.

Finally, Nong Zhu had no choice but to move to Shuntian Island Nong Zhu live there for many years. Bi Changchun's Demon Ghost Domain was not a place anyone could enter, yet Shu Xin risked her life to venture in. The consequence was that she almost lost her life at Bi Changchun's hands.

After all, she was a woman he had shared a bed with, Nong Zhu naturally couldn't just watch her die and stepped in to save her. When Bi Changchun found out the reason, he was furious. Nong Zhu had gone too far! What did he think Shuntian Island was? So, Bi Changchun ruthlessly kicked the entire couple out of the Demon Ghost Domain.

For some reason, the two of them got back together as soon as they left the Demon Ghost Domain. But their relationship didn't last long, as Nong Zhu's old illness relapsed, and he disappeared again. By the time Shu Xin found him, he had already taken a very young baby as his apprentice.

No matter how much Shu Xin pleaded this time, it was useless. Nong Zhu immediately made a solemn vow. In order to ensure that his disciple could grow up safely, he wanted to accumulate good karma for his disciple and vowed that he would never again be involved with any woman before his cultivation broke through to the late Spirit Transformation stage, or else he would die a terrible death.

What could Shu Xin do after Nong Zhu's audacity? She could only return to the Daughter Kingdom, hoping he could break through to the late Spirit Transformation stage soon. However, his actions greatly disappointed her. Although he no longer indulged in women, he still wandered around aimlessly, showing no interest in cultivation. She truly didn't know when he would ever break through to the late Spirit Transformation stage ...

Now that these two sworn enemies have met, everyone can't help but show a playful expression, wanting to see what the show will be like.

"Um... why are you here too?" Nong Zhu an awkward smile.

Shu Xin's bright eyes sparkled, and she bit her lip, saying, "It's been so long since I've seen you. Let me pour you a cup of wine, hoping you'll remember the times we were together!" This was practically a blatant confession in front of everyone, without any restraint whatsoever.

"We have wine, we have wine, no need to trouble yourself." Nong Zhu reached for the wine glass on the table, but someone slapped his hand hard and shouted, "Take your hand away, this is mine."

He tried to grab another cup, but found they were all taken away in an instant. Nong Zhu looked around and suddenly felt like he had entered a wolf's den; they were all staring at him menacingly. It was as if he would incur their wrath if he didn't drink the cup in front of him.

"A bunch of beasts!" Nong Zhu cursed inwardly, took the wine glass from Shu Xin's hand with both hands, drank it all in one gulp, thanked her, and returned the glass to her. Seeing that she seemed to have something else to say, Nong Zhu quickly stepped forward, cupped her hands to the crowd, and said, "I almost forgot I have important business to attend to, I'll take my leave now." As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared.

Shu Xin froze on the spot. A burst of laughter erupted in the hall; that self-proclaimed carefree guy had finally seized the opportunity to annoy him. After the laughter subsided, everyone realized they were surrounded by people they didn't usually get along with. They immediately sent cold glances around the hall and went to chat with their friends.

This commotion deeply moved everyone. They realized that only someone like Nong Zhu, who was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no desires, could have such good interpersonal relationships...

After Nong Zhu teleported away, she immediately flew towards Dayang City. She was extremely annoyed. If she had known that Nongzhu was also there, she would not have gone to Guangzhao Peak.

Before they had flown far, they heard someone call out from behind, "Mr. Nongzhu, please wait a moment!"

Nong Zhu turned around and recognized the newcomer. It was Wen Rui, a rising star from the Wen family of the Biyuan Kingdom, a cultivator in the early Spirit Transformation stage. She had seen him earlier in the Great Bright Hall, but it had been too rushed to greet him. She stopped and asked, "Wen Rui, is there something you need?"

"Are you going to the Dayang City, sir?" Wen Rui asked, bowing.

"Yes!" Nong Zhu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I guessed that you were also going to the Dayang City, so I said goodbye in advance and came to catch up with you and go to the Dayang City together," Wen Rui said with a smile.

"Oh! Then let's go together!" Nong Zhu said nonchalantly.

So the two flew together, soaring high in the sky. Wen Rui, who was flying beside them, said, "I recently learned that a junior of my Wen family had inadvertently offended you, sir. I am extremely grateful that you did not hold it against me."

"Hmm! Huh? Ah... what do you mean?" Nong Zhu was a little confused by his words.

Wen Rui smiled and said, "Sir, there's no need to hide anything for those younger generations. They have honestly reported everything back to the Biyuan Kingdom. Since you are not pursuing the matter, we naturally won't either."

Already confused, and with this nonsensical statement, Nong Zhu was utterly bewildered. Then he said, "By the way, sir, you're staying at the embassy. They haven't done you any disrespectful things?"

These words were like a refreshing remedy, quickly clearing Nong Zhu's mind. Her eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp, cold glint flashing within them. She casually replied to Wen Rui, but inwardly she snorted coldly. "Looks like someone's impersonating me. This Dayang City is truly full of strange occurrences. Not only has someone kidnapped Yin Baikang's grandson, but someone's even impersonating me... uh..."

When these two things were linked together, Nong Zhu was slightly taken aback. She wondered to herself, "Could it be that both things were done by that kid? Otherwise, why would that guy impersonate me of all people?"

He had already made up his mind. If the person impersonating him in the Biyuan Kingdom embassy was indeed Yue Qianchou, then without a doubt, Yin Baikang's grandson was also kidnapped by that guy.

With this thought in mind, Nong Zhu couldn't help but feel a little excited, a mischievous smile spreading across his face as he eagerly wanted to see if that person was really that kid.

Not long after, the two landed inside the Biyuan Kingdom's embassy. Their sudden appearance startled the guards, and Wen Youyuan didn't recognize them either. Fortunately, Wen Bai knew Wen Rui, preventing a misunderstanding.

Wen Rui found it rather strange; how come these two juniors seemed to have never seen Nong Zhu before? Weren't they supposed to have dealings with Nong Zhu? He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Nongzhu..."

Nong Zhu raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said with a faint smile, "Please take me to see Mr. Nongzhu. He and I are old friends."

Wen Rui immediately exclaimed "Ah!" and, seeing himself, wondered what Wen Rui was up to. Wen Youyuan Wen Bai dared not delay. They immediately bowed and accepted the order, leading the way.

The courtyard was lush and serene, and no one dared to disturb it easily. However, the sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the courtyard. Zhang Peng immediately turned around and shouted, "How dare you! Who dares to trespass here?"

Suddenly, Zhang Peng saw two cultivators carrying Storage Bag following behind Wen Youyuan Wen Bai. His pupils shrank slightly. He couldn't see through their cultivation levels.

Nong Zhu glanced at Zhang Peng, then her gaze fell on the swing. There, a person lay motionless, not even opening their eyes, completely unfazed by the chaos. To Nong Zhu's surprise, this person was not Yue Qianchou.

Just as Wen Youyuan was about to explain, he heard Wen Rui shout in a deep voice, "Who are you two?" He also vaguely sensed what was going on.

"Who's shouting here?" Yue Qianchou slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look. He was startled by what he saw and immediately jumped up from the swing, staring at Nong Zhu.

Nong Zhu's astonished gaze gradually softened, replaced by a slight smile. Yue Qianchou's voice, Yue Qianchou physique, Yue Qianchou cunning eyes, and his unfathomable cultivation level... This guy had actually disguised himself! If it weren't for that jump and that shout, she would have almost been fooled too.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat strange. Wen Youyuan Wen Bai exchanged glances, both puzzled. The Clan Elder should know Mr. Nongzhu, so why would he ask such a question? Did the Clan Elder not know Mr. Nongzhu either?

"Clan Elder!" Wen Bai said nervously to Wen Rui, "This is Mr. Nongzhu." He then pointed to Yue Qianchou.

"Nonsense! How could I not know Mr. Nongzhu? If he is Mr. Nongzhu, then who is this Mr. Nongzhu?" Wen Rui pointed at Yue Qianchou and then at Nong Zhu. He himself felt that what he said was a bit of a mouthful.

He then pointed his finger at Yue Qianchou and shouted, "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you impersonate Mr. Nongzhu and deceive my Wen family!" He was about to lash out on the spot, but he found that he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level.

"Ah! Is he Mr. Nongzhu?" Wen Youyuan Wen Bai exclaimed in unison. The two quickly sized up the person in front of them. This person was even more handsome and extraordinary than Mr. Nongzhu, and also appeared more mature. In particular, the purplish-black bamboo flute at his waist matched the legendary figure perfectly.

The two were somewhat bewildered, and Zhang Peng was also filled with doubt and surprise. They had no idea what their master was up to.

Nong Zhu raised one eyebrow, walked over, circled Yue Qianchou twice, looking him up and down as she went, finally fixing her gaze on his face. She clicked her tongue and said, "You really can't stand being alone. It's only been a short time, and you're already playing with disguises again. Not bad, very realistic. Is it a human skin mask?"

As she spoke, she reached out to pinch his face, Yue Qianchou pulled out his large fan and swished it open, blocking the outstretched hand. He frowned and scolded, "Don't you have any manners? How can you touch someone's face like that when you meet them!"
