Two Senior Sisters

After coming down from the mountain, the few people parted ways.

Yang Chen returned to the spirit field area. After carefully inspecting the spirit field, he went back into his wooden house to cultivate.

His rapid progress over the past few months was inseparable from his tireless cultivation every day.

Even though he was only at the Qi Martial Seventh Level realm now, some disciples who joined the sect last year were still weaker than him.

This was related to resources, but it was equally inseparable from his own efforts.

Time passed to the afternoon. After his usual inspection of the spirit field, he headed towards the living quarters.

Now that he had fallen out with Zhou Han, to prevent the latter from resorting to any means to attack him, he decided to return every day. Safety was more guaranteed in the living quarters.

Upon returning to the living quarters, he contacted Wang Kui and the other two, inviting them to a restaurant in Nineteen Peaks town. During the meal, Yang Chen expressed his gratitude for their strong support this time.

The Wang Kui brothers already intended to deepen their relationship with Yang Chen. As they clinked glasses and drank, their relationship quickly improved.

After eating and drinking their fill, the four left with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Yang Chen returned to his residence and went to sleep after a long period of cultivation.

Time flew by, and another month-end summary day arrived.

After two days of buzz, Yang Chen's fame had clearly grown. Many people started greeting him proactively when they met him.

Yang Chen responded to each of them, not becoming arrogant just because he was on the list. This earned him a good reputation.

Although such a reputation wasn't very useful, it would make his time on Nineteen Peaks smoother, as long as there were no grudges between them.

Before Lin Chuan arrived, he tested his Punching Force again and moved up one spot on the list, to fifty-first place.

This left him with some regret. Although fifty-first and fiftieth were only one spot apart, he received 5 fewer Spirit Crystals, which was enough for him to buy two Spirit Calming Incense.

Zhu Xi nagged him for a long time as usual, his eyes practically overflowing with envy.

Besides that, Meng Shijun's gaze also seemed to shy away from him, as if he didn't want to see him.

Yang Chen was happy with this. There was no conflict of interest between them, and it was good to maintain this state of mutual non-interference.

As always, Lin Chuan summoned those on the list and specifically praised Yang Chen, which drew sideways glances from Huang Tianyu and others.

After collecting his resources, Yang Chen's life returned to its usual calm. He remained cautious, wary of Zhou Han's revenge.

But as days passed and Zhou Han remained inactive, he gradually relaxed.

In the wooden house, Yang Chen put away the panel. It had been exactly twenty days since the last month-end summary. With the help of Qi Strength Pills and Fierce Beast Meat daily, his progress was as stable as ever.

"Time to head back."

He walked out of the wooden house, locked the door, inspected the spirit field, and then hurried towards Nineteen Peaks town.

"I wonder what Zhu Xi wants with me?"

Last night, Zhu Xi had found him and invited him to a restaurant in town today. He had pressed the other for reasons, but Zhu Xi had remained mysterious and refused to say.

Lost in thought, Yang Chen soon arrived at Nineteen Peaks town. This town was the only commercial center within a two-hundred-mile radius of Nineteen Peaks, and it had always been prosperous and thriving.

Walking through the bustling crowd, Yang Chen looked at the throng of people without much emotion. If Zhu Xi hadn't invited him, he wouldn't have wasted time coming here.

He would rather use this time to cultivate.

Six months since arriving in this world, his original intention remained unchanged. He still maintained his desire for strength. Although cultivation was hard, he found joy in it.

A moment later, he entered a restaurant and went upstairs to the second floor.

"Old Yang! Over here, over here!"

As soon as Yang Chen came up, he heard Zhu Xi's call. He followed the sound and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhu Xi had chosen a table by the window, but he wasn't alone. Beside him were two female disciples.

One of them wore red and had a round face with large eyes, looking very endearing. The other wore a black fitted dress that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure. Her features weren't exceptionally beautiful, but her temperament was outstanding, giving her a striking and spirited aura.

He walked to the table with a hint of confusion and sat down openly, smiling as he asked, "Who are these two?"

"Allow me to introduce them!" Zhu Xi said with a smile, pointing to the female disciple in red. "This is Senior Sister Wu Menglan. She's from the previous batch of disciples and works with me in the medicine garden."

"And this is Senior Sister Ji Ran. She's also from the previous batch and is a friend of Senior Sister Wu."

After introducing the two female disciples, Zhu Xi cleared his throat and pointed to Yang Chen solemnly. "Senior Sisters, this is the Junior Brother Yang Chen I've mentioned to you many times. He's currently ranked forty-third on the new disciple cultivation list!"

"What do you think? Did I lie to you? Not only is Old Yang talented, but he's also handsome. He's only slightly inferior to me!"

Wu Menglan couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Junior Brother Zhu, you really know how to praise yourself. Junior Brother Yang's looks are far superior to yours."

Zhu Xi rubbed his nose and pretended to be pitiful. "Senior Sister, you wound me so. My mother has praised my handsome appearance more than once."

Wu Menglan's smile widened upon hearing this, and she covered her mouth, laughing heartily.

Yang Chen looked at Zhu Xi with surprise. He hadn't realized this guy was so good at charming women.

His gaze swept over the two women, and he gradually understood. These two seemed to be taking a liking to him.

He subtly glanced at Ji Ran again. To his surprise, she was also looking at him, which made him feel a bit shy.

Their eyes met and then averted. Yang Chen laughed, "I knew the stingy one wouldn't be so generous for no reason. So, you were treating these two Senior Sisters. To be honest, Senior Sisters, we've known each other for a long time, and he's never treated me to a meal at a restaurant before."

"Good brother!"

Zhu Xi praised him inwardly, but his face showed a hint of helplessness. "That's a bit unfair. With your attitude towards cultivation, I wouldn't even dare to ask you out for a meal. I just happened to catch you today, and I immediately invited you over."

"I'm just benefiting from the Senior Sisters' favor."

"You rascal!"

After a few playful jabs, the atmosphere at the table became harmonious. Just then, the abundant dishes were served one after another.

"This is Reishi Mushroom Stewed Beef."

"This is Red-Bellied Fish Boiled with Spirit Spring Water."

"And this..."

Zhu Xi introduced the dishes to them. Yang Chen listened with a smile, but inwardly he was sweating for Zhu Xi. A table full of dishes like this would probably cost at least 5 Spirit Crystals, he reckoned.

He didn't agree with this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart.

Wouldn't it be better to use these Spirit Crystals for cultivation than to eat them?

However, Zhu Xi was treating today, so he had nothing to say. He just assumed Zhu Xi was trying to win someone's heart.

Judging by their positions at the table, Zhu Xi had feelings for Wu Menglan, and from Wu Menglan's demeanor, she didn't seem to be resisting.

"We all come from different parts of the world. The fact that we can meet here today shows our deep connection. Come, I'll toast you all!"

Since Zhu Xi had organized this dinner, Yang Chen and the other two naturally gave him plenty of face. The four of them raised their glasses in celebration. After a mouthful of wine, the unfamiliar atmosphere vanished completely.
