Mother-in-Law, Xuanyuan Yun

Led by Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, Chen Changqing and she passed through pavilions and towers.

During this time, they encountered many members of the Xuanyuan Clan.

Upon seeing Chen Changqing, an outsider, everyone was surprised. After Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu walked away, they began to whisper among themselves:

Who is that outsider?

"They actually followed the Third Miss to our Xuanyuan Clan's Ancestral Land."

"Could it be someone the Third Miss hired?"

"That's not right! The Lineage's Annual Competition doesn't allow External Aids."

"..."

Although the whispers were quiet, they were still heard by Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

However, neither of them paid any attention to it.

As they walked, Chen Changqing suddenly asked:

"Xiaoyu, who are you taking me to see?"

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled slightly, turned to look at Chen Changqing, and said, "You'll know when you see me."

Having said that, she continued to lead the way forward.

Before long, Chen Changqing, led by Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, arrived at a quiet and secluded courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded by lush bamboo, creating a very tranquil atmosphere.

"Arrive."

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said with slight excitement, then looked at Chen Changqing and added:

"Changqing, this is my mother's residence Cloud Dream Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised, and a strange light flashed quickly in his eyes.

"Xiaoyu's mother? Isn't that... the Human King's wife?"

He muttered to himself, subconsciously thinking of his master, Chen Yuan, who had been a rival for the Human King's affections when they were young.

In the end, Chen Yuan was no match for the Human King on the arena and returned defeated.

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu walked forward and gently pushed open the half-closed courtyard gate.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing quickly came to his senses and followed Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.

Before long, the two entered the courtyard.

Looking around, one sees a clear spring flowing in the courtyard, adorned with exotic flowers, making it exceptionally elegant.

In the center of the courtyard stands a huge ancient tree.

On that ancient tree, pale purple blossoms bloomed, filling the air with a delicate fragrance.

Beneath the ancient tree, there was a white jade chessboard.

At this moment, beside the chessboard, a beautiful young woman dressed in an elegant moon-white dress was leaning against a soft couch, holding an ancient book in her hand.

The woman's face was exquisitely beautiful, radiant like the rising sun at dawn, and dazzling upon closer inspection, like a lotus emerging from clear water.

Her gentle temperament also exudes an indescribable elegance and tranquility.

Time has left no trace on her face, only her calm eyes seem to hold the wisdom of someone who has seen it all.

She simply sat there quietly, as if she were the center of the entire courtyard and even the surrounding world.

It makes one forget the mundane world upon seeing it.

This beautiful young woman was none other than Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's mother, Xuanyuan Yun.

After a brief inspection, Chen Changqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"No wonder Master was so jealous of the Human King back then."

Such elegance is truly extraordinary.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu Yuren stepped forward two steps and bowed to Xuanyuan Yun in greeting:

"Xiaoyu greets Mother!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yun turned away from her book, her beautiful eyes sweeping over her as she looked directly at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu?"

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu nodded, her face beaming with joy as she went to greet Xuanyuan Yun.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yun slowly stood up, her figure graceful and exquisite.

As they approached, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu affectionately wrapped her arm around Xuanyuan Yun's.

Xuanyuan Yun looked at his daughter with eyes full of tenderness and doting affection.

Before Xuanyuan Xiaoyu could say anything, Xuanyuan Yun spoke first:

"You silly girl, all you do is stay with your father! So much time has passed, and you haven't even come back to see your mother!"

"If it weren't for this Family Grand Competition, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you again."

Xuanyuan Yun said with a slight complaint, but her voice was very pleasant, like a clear mountain spring, very melodious.

Hearing what Xuanyuan Yun said, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu looked slightly embarrassed and quickly explained:

"Mother, isn't Xiaoyu back to keep you company?"

"Oh, right..."

At this point, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu paused and quickly turned to look at Chen Changqing.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Yun's gaze also fell on Chen Changqing, this stranger.

Upon catching their gazes, Chen Changqing remained calm, took two steps forward, straightened his robes, and then bowed to Xuanyuan Yun, saying, "Your son-in-law greets Your Majesty, Mother-in-law."

"Mother-in-law?"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's address to him, Xuanyuan Yun was taken aback, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

But she quickly recovered and glanced at Chen Changqing a few more times.

Although Xuanyuan Xiaoyu did not often return to the ancestral home of the Xuanyuan family, she frequently corresponded with her mother.

After the Hundred Dynasties War ended, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu Yu sent a message to Xuanyuan Yun, telling him in her heart that her father had found her a suitable husband.

"His cultivation level is not bad."

"Just one step away from the Tribulation Transcendence."

"He's good-looking too."

Xuanyuan Yun sized up Chen Changqing while muttering to himself.

Faced with Xuanyuan Yun's scrutiny and gaze, Chen Changqing remained calm and composed.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu looked at Chen Changqing with tender affection and introduced him:

"Changqing, this is my mother, Xuanyuan Yun!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Xuanyuan Yun again and said, "Mother, her name is Chen Changqing, a disciple of Mount Shu!"

As Xuanyuan Xiaoyu introduced herself, Xuanyuan Yun was taken aback and couldn't help but mutter in surprise:

"Disciples of Mount Shu?"

In her letter, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu did not mention much about Chen Changqing.

Deep down, although she was extremely satisfied with the husband the Human King had chosen for her, she didn't want to spend too much time praising him. After all, she was a young woman and should maintain some reserve.

"Chen Changqing?"

It's him!

Soon, the shock on Xuanyuan Yun's face intensified.

Just now, she hadn't paid much attention to it.

She felt that Chen Changqing's place was just barely acceptable, but her first impression of him wasn't bad.

Of course, that's all.

After all, the Xuanyuan Family is known for producing many outstanding talents.

However, to Xuanyuan Yun's surprise, his daughter's future husband was actually Chen Changqing from the Shu Mountain Sacred Land.

Xuanyuan Yun had naturally heard of Chen Changqing's reputation.

Putting aside everything else, his reputation was already known Nine Provinces Continent when he topped the Azure Dragon Ranking of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

As one of the Nine Great Families of the Nine Provinces Continent, the Xuanyuan Clan naturally has its own independent intelligence agency.

They also paid close attention to the various lists published by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

If any Cultivator on the list is Rogue Cultivator, the Xuanyuan Clan Xuanyuan Family would naturally want to recruit them into their ranks.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yun's surprise, Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, who were standing to the side, were both taken aback.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu asked aloud, not expecting Xuanyuan Yun to have such a strong reaction after hearing that her future husband was Chen Changqing from Mount Shu.
