Chapter 895: Confession
Bai Wei summoned Zhan Chen this time, and they were mainly to meet and say hello. The great cause of the Humanist Sect is great, and there will always be disciples who break through the Ming Law Realm every year, and one of his rights and responsibilities as a deacon elder is to manage the core disciples of these outer sects well, so he naturally has to meet with every disciple of the Ming Law Realm, of course, only to meet each other, and then he ordered Zhan Chen and the others to retreat.
As soon as Zhan Chen and the other four people left the meeting hall, Xu Liyan grabbed Zhan Chen's hand and said excitedly: "Zhan Chen, I knew you could, I didn't expect the two of us to be so fateful, and even the breakthrough was in the same year." β
Zhan Chen was very uncomfortable with her openness, and withdrew his hand awkwardly, saying, "Xu Daoyou, this is just a coincidence. β
Xu Liyan didn't care about this, she stuck to it again, and proposed: "Zhan Chen, you are not allowed to escape, let's go out today to celebrate......"
Just when Xu Liyan and Zhan Chen were entangled, a trace of loss flashed inexplicably in Lin Suya's eyes on the side, as if something important had been lost, just now she wanted to go over to greet Zhan Chen, but she didn't expect to be preempted by this strange Xu Liyan, seeing that their relationship was so close, it was a burst of random conjecture.
Zhan Chen was worried that he couldn't get rid of Xu Liyan, and Leng Buding saw Lin Suya standing on the side and hurriedly shouted: "Senior sister, great, you have also broken through the Ming Law Realm." β
Xu Liyan was stunned and said, "You know?"
Zhan Chen said: "Yes, Senior Sister Lin and I were in the Qin Xiao Sect before we came to Taichen Prefecture. β
"Qin Xiao faction? That seems to be a female sect. Xu Liyan was even more surprised, she never expected Zhan Chen to join such a sect, and in her impression, Zhan Chen didn't seem to be a person who loved music.
Zhan Chen said: "It's because of the general reason. β
Lin Suya stepped forward and smiled: "It's natural for me to break through, but I didn't expect your progress to be so fast, junior brother." β
"Hehe, I just got some opportunities, no better than my senior sister's real cultivation. β
Lin Suya shook her head and said, "You are a cultivation genius in my eyes, maybe it won't be long before your cultivation will leave me far behind." β
Xu Liyan was constantly observing these two people on the side, and she could guess a little bit from the eyes of others that Zhan Chen and Lin Suya both seemed to have a little meaning to each other, but there seemed to be an insurmountable wall between the two, so she smiled and said: "Zhan Chen, and Senior Sister Lin, since you all know each other, it's really good, the three of us will go out together to celebrate, how about I do the east?"
"This-" Lin Suya and Zhan Chen didn't seem to have any objections, Tang Junjie saw that the three of them were chatting hotly, and felt bored, so he left alone.
And Xu Liyan pulled Zhan Chen and Lin Suya to the largest restaurant in Renjie City, where the princess of the Xu family made a generous move, and spent hundreds of top-grade immortal stones on a meal to make Zhan Chen and Lin Suya both dumbfounded, and after the banquet was over, she wanted to find another excuse to go with Zhan Chen, but Zhan Chen politely refused, so she had to leave.
Zhan Chen finally had the opportunity to be alone with Lin Suya, Lin Suya looked at Zhan Chen for a long time before she said tentatively: "Senior brother, you seem to be very familiar with this Xu Liyan, when did you meet?"
Zhan Chen couldn't help sighing, and told Lin Suya about Guanghong's secret treasure and his party.
Lin Suya was also embarrassed after hearing this, and sighed: "No wonder your strength can improve so quickly. However, Xu Liyan has only been with you for a short time and is so attentive to you, I am afraid that it will be interesting to you. β
Zhan Chen sighed again: "Senior sister, I am now focused on cultivation, how can I have time to take care of my children's personal feelings?"
"But according to what you just said, this Xu Liyan is from a very noble background, and she is naturally beautiful, are you really not tempted?"
"Don't say it, I'm having a headache, and besides, if you see a beautiful woman, wouldn't it seem too despicable to want to take them for yourself?"
Lin Suya stroked her silver hair and said with a smile: "Zhan Chen is really rare to see a man like you. β
"It's a kind of self-discipline. Zhan Chen said seriously.
Then the two separated, Zhan Chen also returned home, waiting for next month's Juxian meeting, but unfortunately his quiet days did not pass two days, Xu Liyan came to the door, Zhan Chen had to welcome her in, and asked, "Xu Daoyou, is there something wrong?"
Xu Liyan really looked worried, she lowered her eyes, and asked, "Can't I be a guest if it's okay?"
"Yes, it's just that I'm preparing for a retreat. β
"It seems like you're not welcoming to me. β
"No, no, I just can't figure out why you're so interested in me. β
Xu Liyan didn't say her thoughts directly, but said: "Zhan Chen, do you know? My parents urged me to marry again, and the object is the Li Shaobai you saw last time, I don't want to marry him at all, but unfortunately my parents' fate is difficult to disobey, this is the sadness of those of us who live in a big family, and we can't even make our own decisions about our own love." β
Zhan Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything, and at this time he instinctively felt that he should remain silent.
The silence lasted in the room for a while, and Xu Liyan began to speak again: "Zhan Chen, do you know? Since the last time I met you and me in Guanghong Secret Collection, my mind will appear from time to time your appearance, your voice, and your smile are so kind to me, and I have also tried to convince myself that how can someone who has only met once have feelings?" But the strange thing is that despite my repeated persuasion to stop thinking about you and obey the will of my parents' family, your figure often runs out and sways in front of my eyes when I am in a daze, so I try my best to know about you and try my best to come to see you - maybe you will think that I am a nuisance woman, but I really can't do it without thinking about you, Zhan Chen, tell me, what should I do?"
Zhan Chen silently listened to this long confession, and felt heavy in his heart, he felt that his trouble was coming again, the enemy of feelings was the most difficult to deal with, and it was not something that you could cut off by relying on strong cultivation.
After thinking carefully for a while, he said to Xu Liyan: "Xu Daoyou, in fact, you are better than me-"
"Zhan Chen, don't use this kind of clichΓ© to reject people, okay? You can give me a letter today, if you really don't feel anything about me, just say it, and let me die directly!"
Zhan Chen couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Xu Liyan, and found that her eyes were sharper than swords today, without the gentleness and kindness of the past, he subconsciously lowered his head again, avoided this sharp gaze, and thought carefully for a while before he began to say: "Xu Daoyou, maybe you don't know, I'm not single, in fact, I already have four or five wives, and you are Bingqing Yujie, there is no need to like a man like me, you should have a better home." β
Zhan Chen thought that as soon as he said this, Xu Liyan would leave, but he didn't expect her reaction to be much beyond his expectations.
Xu Liyan was not surprised when she heard Zhan Chen's words, but said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, I have a good eye for seeing people, you are such a cultivator who doesn't understand amorous feelings, there will be four or five women who fall in love with you, which shows that you are a sought-after item." β
Zhan Chen was stunned and said, "Aren't you surprised?"
"What's so surprising about it? A man has three wives and four concubines, and a woman has more than one man, is this still rare in the world of cultivating immortals? It abounds, as long as you cultivate as a powerful monk, you will naturally gather a large number of admirers below, and you only have four or five wives is considered a few. β
Zhan Chen smiled bitterly: "Are you pimpling me?"
"No, my father has forty-three wives, including my mother, they all love my father deeply, and help my father in dealing with clan affairs and major affairs in the clan, and it is also with their help that my father can become the head of the Xu family, and he can devote himself to cultivation and cultivation. Speaking of this, Xu Liyan's face flashed with pride, and said: "I have forty-three mothers, they all love me very much, and the whole family is happy when they get together at the party, Zhan Chen, if you have other wives, it doesn't matter, I promise to get along with them very well, and I will never be jealous." β
Zhan Chen was completely stunned, he couldn't understand this woman's thoughts, Xu Liyan looked at him in surprise, but felt strange, and asked: "Zhan Chen, did I say something wrong? If you don't dare to like me because you already have a wife, it doesn't matter, I will handle the relationship with them well, as long as we can be together, I can overcome any difficulties!"
"But I can't accept it, I already have other women in my heart. β
"Then put your mind in order and make room for me. β
"No, there is no room for other women. β
"Zhan Chen, then do you like me or not?!" Xu Liyan asked again.
Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment, Xu Liyan is beautiful and generous, probably because of the big family, every move has an elegant piece, which brings a new feeling to himself, what man will not be tempted by such a woman? But he also has his own bottom line, and he will never accept more women easily.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Liyan said again: "Zhan Chen, I won't force you to like me, but you at least give me an answer, I can wait, but I don't have much time." With that, she got up and left the house.
Looking at her departing back, Zhan Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
