Favored Child of the Cautious Path?
"Zhang Family Head?" Ye Xingyun's eyes lit up with surprise upon seeing Zhang Xuanchen.
I never expected to run into someone I know here.
He had no idea that he had a grudge against Zhang Xuanchen.
Zhang Xuanchen was disguised when refining the Spirit Fire.
However, a doubt arose in his mind the next moment.
Could it be...?
Little Xixi told the Zhang Family Head about our situation.
Thinking of this, Ye Xingyun was overjoyed!
Forcibly suppressing his excitement, he asked:
"That Zhang Family Head, I remember we didn't talk at your Succession Ceremony, did we?"
How did you know my name?
Zhang Xuanchen looked at the sweet and expectant look on Ye Xingyun's face.
It's easy to guess what he's thinking.
He also needed a reason to call out Ye Xingyun's name.
This can be seen as indirectly helping Aunt Hongxi.
He smiled and said, "It was Aunt Hongxi who told me."
She's mentioned you a lot to us over the years.
Praise how excellent you are.
Speaking of which, it's been many years since you last saw Aunt Hongxi.
Aunt Hongxi also said that you've already forgotten about her as a friend.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingyun quickly said:
How could that be?
How could I possibly forget her?
To be honest, after leaving the Zhang Family back then...
So I went to seek revenge on my enemies.
Who knew that my enemy had an elder brother who served as the Second Elder in a Golden Core Faction?
Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation.
I was no match for them, and have been hiding and running away for years.
This made it impossible for him to meet with Hongxi.
I've missed her a lot all these years...
Not good!
He spoke his mind!
I have no idea how the Zhang Family will treat me.
It's ruined!
The moment Ye Xingyun subconsciously uttered his last words, his body froze on the spot.
She cautiously raised her eyes, observing Zhang Xuanchen's expression.
Although Zhang Xuanchen is young, he is the Patriarch the Zhang Family.
He enjoys considerable prestige.
Who in the Zhang Family would dare disobey what they say?
If he doesn't agree, can he and Zhang Hongxi still get together?
Zhang Xuanchen heard Ye Xingyun's words.
A mischievous smile crept across his face.
Hehehe!
Okay, okay!
Just as I expected!
Once you get to the Zhang Family, I'll have plenty of ways to deal with you.
That's what he was thinking, but no expression showed on his face.
Oh? You miss Aunt Hongxi a lot?
So you're saying you have feelings for Aunt Hongxi?
While asking the question, Zhang Xuanchen transmitted his voice to the Xuanjing in his sea of consciousness.
"Xuanjing, how's this guy?"
"He's not a bad person," Xuanjing replied. "In your words, this guy is quite cunning."
He cultivated Cultivation Method to conceal his true cultivation level.
On the surface, he is in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but in reality, he is already at the Foundation Establishment Peak.
And its foundation is solid.
The Cultivation Method he practiced was also quite profound.
It's probably no lower than the Fifth-grade.
Furthermore, his Divine Sense strength has already reached the Early Golden Core.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was greatly shocked.
Could this guy be the chosen one of Gou Daoliu's destiny?
No wonder he was able to escape from the pursuit of the Purple Cloud Sect back then.
It seems we need to find a way to get this guy to marry into my Zhang Family.
Judging from the current situation...
Even if they aren't chosen by fate, their future achievements will still be considerable.
Just as he was pondering, Ye Xingyun spoke up.
He didn't try to run away from anything.
Instead, he bowed to Zhang Xuanchen.
"Yes, Zhang Family Head."
Back in the Sky Dragon Secret Realm, Hongxi and I hit it off immediately and fought side by side for several months.
We both have each other in our hearts.
I had originally planned that if I could successfully leave this Starry Secret Realm...
I will definitely slaughter all my enemies.
They went to the Zhang Family to propose marriage.
We humbly request Zhang Family Head's permission.
Zhang Xuanchen nodded slightly, neither dodging nor moving, but accepting the greeting.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I will not interfere with your relationship with Aunt Hongxi."
If Aunt Hongxi has truly decided on you.
I'll only be happy.
Don't call me Zhang Family Head anymore when we're out in public.
You can just call me Xuan Chen.
If it succeeds in the future.
It's not too late to change your mind later.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingyun was overjoyed.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Chen."
Seeing that the two had finished their conversation...
Wei Tian, who was standing to the side, then spoke up.
His tone was tinged with surprise. "Brother Chen Xuanchen, Brother Xingyun, I didn't expect you two to know each other."
What a coincidence!
"Brother Chen Xuanchen, let me tell you something."
If Brother Hsing Yun really marries your aunt, you should be secretly happy.
Brother Xingyun has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at such a young age.
Another Second-tier Top-grade Formation Master.
He is truly a rare talent.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen became even more certain of his thoughts.
He joked, "Oh? Is that so?"
I never expected Brother Xingyun to be a Second-tier Top-grade Formation Master.
It seems I need to find a way to keep you in the Zhang Family forever.
Actually, he had another guess in his mind.
That means Ye Xingyun is not Second-tier Top-grade Formation Master, but Third Stage low-grade one.
Since they chose to conceal their cultivation level, there's no reason why they wouldn't also conceal their achievements in Formations.
Hearing their conversation, Ye Xingyun scratched his head and said modestly:
"Ah, you two are too kind."
There's still a big gap between me and you guys.
Actually, he was quite shocked when he saw Zhang Xuanchen's Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation.
If he remembered correctly, Zhang Xuanchen was not yet thirty years old this year.
When did the cultivation speed of Earth Spiritual Root become so fast?
However, I was still quite pleased with myself.
After all, the more outstanding Zhang Family was, the better his chances of marrying Zhang Hongxi would be.
Wei Tian smiled and said, "Just telling the truth."
He walked to the woman in the white Daoist robe, who was not far from Ye Xingyun, and introduced her:
"Brother Chen Xuanchen, this is Yao Bingbing, who is at the Foundation Establishment Peak stage."
He once single-handedly escaped unscathed from the clutches of an Evil Cultivator in the Early Golden Core Soul Devouring Cult.
His strength is unfathomable.
"Fellow Daoist Yao, this is Zhang Xuanchen I told you about."
This is also the foreign aid I invited this time.
Wei Tian's voice fell.
Zhang Xuanchen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yao Bingbing and said:
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yao."
Yao Bingbing also symbolically cupped her hands towards Zhang Xuanchen.
He nodded in acknowledgment.
He did not speak.
His face was completely expressionless.
This inevitably reminded Zhang Xuanchen of Zhang Xuanbing's icy face.
They're practically identical!
Seeing this, Wei Tian stepped forward and explained:
"Brother Chen Xuanchen, that's just how Fellow Daoist Yao is."
Don't worry about it.
Zhang Xuanchen would naturally not get angry over such a small matter.
He nodded with a smile.
"Understand."
"That's good. We'll wait another two hours."
Two hours later, we headed to the Starry Secret Realm.
We can just wait patiently.
