At this moment, in the room, except for the two children Chaoyun who was sleeping on the bed and Huang Yijian who was lying in Huang Tingxiu's arms, the rest of the people seemed to be confused, but in fact, their eyes remained awake. As soon as I heard Zhenlei's unexplained words, I couldn't help but stop the movements in my hands and listen carefully.

Chen Anxin was quite nervous, his face was forced to compodate, and he calmly waited for Zhen Lei's next words. Zhenlei grabbed Chen An's shoulder, but glanced at Huang Tingxiu, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Chen An and said:

"Boy, I just thought something was wrong with the two of you, and said, is it a fight to show feelings. ”

Hearing these words, Chen Anxin's stone fell to the ground, and he realized that Zhenlei had misunderstood the relationship between himself and Huang Tingxiu, so he smiled shyly and replied:

"Miss Tingxiu and I were fighting on the sword platform not long ago, but now we are sitting at the same table and talking, so when I think back to what happened today, I just feel a little emotional. ”

Huang Tingxiu also hurriedly echoed when she heard this, denying the relationship between the two, but after saying it, there was a faint loss in her heart.

"This must be the effect of the contract, and we have to find a way to wear it out as soon as possible. ”

She secretly said in her heart, and at the same time picked up a small spiritual sword in the spiritual space, and slashed towards the faint mist formed by the contract. But every time the little sword swung it, it would not only consume a lot of mental power, but also cause a sharp pain in her head, so after a few swings, she had to stop.

At the same time, Zhuyang saw that Zhenlei was still chattering about some unimportant things to Chen An, sighed, and pulled him aside with Xingyun, and then sat in Zhenlei's position, looking at Chen An with a serious expression.

Seeing Zhuyang's situation, Chen An secretly said that this so-called banquet was finally about to enter the main topic, so he sat down and looked at Zhuyang calmly.

Zhuyang was satisfied with Chen An's actions, nodded and slowly spoke:

"Xiaoyou's trip, are you here for the Immortal Ascension Conference?"

"Exactly. ”

Chen An nodded and replied, when he found out that this was the Qiyao Realm, the first and only thought that came to his mind was to find a way back to the Dust Realm. However, building a teleportation circle between the two realms not only requires extremely strong attainments, but each teleportation also consumes a huge amount of materials.

And at this time, the appearance of the Immortal Ascension Conference just gave him the best opportunity, the Purple Heaven Palace was the top force in the Qiyao Realm, and there would inevitably be a boundary-level teleportation array. And the first step to borrowing this teleportation array is to participate in this so-called Immortal Ascension Conference and obtain the qualification to enter the Purple Heaven Palace.

Hearing this, Zhuyang smiled, and then said:

"I don't know if Xiaoyou's trip represents the teacher, or himself?"

Chen Anxin moved, with a wry smile on his face, and replied:

"The master loves to travel, and when he ordered me to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference, he closed the mountain gate, and then asked me not to mention the master in the future. Therefore, this time I came to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference, and the younger generation did not have a teacher to rely on. ”

Zhuyang was even more satisfied after hearing Chen An's words, and after turning his head and Xingyun and Zhenlei glanced at each other, he turned around and said solemnly to Chen An:

"In that case, then I, as one of the Ten Immortals of Folding Swords, invite you to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference on behalf of our Folding Sword City, I don't know what you think. ”

Chen An's face was stunned at first, then incredulous, and finally surprised, excited:

"I am willing, and it is the honor of the younger generation to be able to represent Folding Sword City. ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the three of them to express his gratitude, and the three of Zhuyang laughed heartily, seemingly satisfied with Chen An.

Then the banquet was spent in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and then the faces of the three of Zhuyang suddenly changed, and then Zhuyang and Xingyun left first, and Zhenlei also called the shopkeeper before leaving, and asked him to arrange a room for Chen An and Chaoyun to live in, and then hurriedly escaped out of the drunken immortal building.

Then the sword slave hugged Huang Yijian, who had secretly drunk wine and was asleep, and walked upstairs, it seems that they also live here.

In a moment, except for the sleeping Chaoyun, only Huang Tingxiu and Chen An were left in the room. Both of them looked ahead as if they didn't know each other's existence.

It's just that compared with the indifference in Chen An's eyes, Huang Tingxiu's eyes revealed more confusion, unwillingness, and a hint of cowardice.

As if she really couldn't stand this suffocating atmosphere, Huang Tingxiu finally mustered up the courage and said to Chen An:

"Can you give me some time first, I have other important things to do now, and when those things are done, I will definitely come back to fulfill the contract. ”

Chen An didn't look at her when he heard this, and said expressionlessly:

"Yes, but the time you borrow must be compensated for the time of the performance of the contract, and extended tenfold. ”

Huang Tingxiu was angry, her eyebrows were cold, and she was about to have a good argument with Chen An, but she glanced at Chaoyun who was sleeping on the bed and then gave up, and then approached Chen An, lowered her voice and said:

"Ten times is too long, three times. ”

Chen An said lightly:

"Twenty times. ”

Huang Tingxiu was stunned, she couldn't imagine that Chen An would be so ruthless, but she didn't dare to continue to speak, for fear that Chen An would extend the time again. After all, in the master-servant contract, Chen An has always been in the dominant position, although Huang Tingxiu also has the means to forcibly erase the contract, or try to resist, but this is a great price to pay, and it is very worthless.

She sighed, after all, she had bought time to do that thing, and it was an acceptable result, and once that thing was completed, this master-servant contract might no longer exist, so there was no need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and then she said goodbye and was about to get up to leave, but at this time, she was stopped by Chen An and asked her:

"Wait, you haven't told me what this thing is and how much time it will take. ”

Huang Tingxiu had expected Chen An to ask this question, and replied without hesitation:

"Participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference and win a place to enter the Purple Heaven Palace. As for the time, it will not be over until I have been practicing in the Purple Heaven Palace for a month. ”

Chen An nodded and replied:

"Yes, during this time, my spiritual power will keep an eye on you through the master-servant contract. ”

After Huang Tingxiu heard Chen An's words, she was a little embarrassed, and Chen An also knew that this sentence was a little inappropriate at this time, so she coughed lightly twice and continued:

"It's just a matter of determining where you are, not seeing where you're in. ”

Huang Tingxiu snorted lightly when she heard this, and then turned to leave, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

After Huang Tingxiu left, Chen Anyu made the spiritual creation close the door, sighed leisurely, and said with a wry smile:

"I asked how it was possible to be cold-blooded and ruthless in the world, and how could I become so soft-hearted when I returned to reality. ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Chen An immediately put on an indifferent face and said calmly:

"Come in. ”

The person outside the door pushed the door in response, and it was a man with a mustache, who was the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building. The shopkeeper claimed to be surnamed Qiu, and asked Chen An if he wanted to add some drinks and dishes, Chen An waved his hand and said no, let the shopkeeper take him to the arranged room to rest.

The shopkeeper nodded, and then respectfully led the way for Chen An, Chen An picked up Chaoyun and followed the shopkeeper all the way up, and came to the door of a room on the top floor, just outside the door of the sword slave, he stood at the door and smiled at Chen An, Chen An bowed slightly in response.

After arranging everything, the shopkeeper handed Chen An a purple token, saying that it was a gift from the Thunder Immortal, a voucher to go to the Immortal Ascension Conference, and then turned around and left.

Chen An took the token and put it in his hand to take a look, the token was carved with an auspicious cloud, and above the auspicious cloud was a magnificent palace.

"Is this the Purple Heavenly Palace? ”

Chen Anxin said secretly, then put away the token and entered the door, and after confirming that Chaoyun's condition was worry-free, he created several spiritual creatures and placed them around the bed, and then turned around and walked out of the room. Here, the sword slave has been waiting for a long time.

"Your Excellency has a familiar smell on your body, which reminds me of the people of my hometown. ”

The sword slave looked at Chen An kindly and smiled.

"Familiar taste, Your Excellency, is it also from the Mortal Realm?"

Chen An glanced at the sword slave deeply and said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, the expression on the sword slave's face suddenly became shocked, and he lost his voice and said:

"Your Excellency is a man of the earthly realm. ”

Chen An nodded heavily, a little excited in his heart, on the way back to another world, on the way home, it was really indifferent to be able to meet people from the same country. The sword slave obviously had the same expression, he invited Chen An into his room, and then the two sat down and talked.

The sword slave said with emotion:

"The old man has been wandering in the other world for more than three hundred years, in addition to Tingxiu and Yijian, today I finally have to see a fellow villager, I am very happy. ”

Chen An nodded, but his feelings were not deep, after all, he had only been here for a short time, if it weren't for the fact that he had promised the ghost mother and the others to rush back as soon as possible, this place would be a novel journey for him.

At this time, I heard the sword slave say:

"I think when the old man left, the biggest country at that time was Dafeng, and the national strength was so great that many sects had to bow down to him. And the emperor of the Feng Dynasty is a unique great man in the world, the old man only saw it from afar, and he couldn't help but feel impressed in his heart. ”

"By the way, I wonder if the emperor is still there?"

Speaking of this, the sword slave looked at Chen An with a curious expression, waiting expectantly for Chen An's answer.

Chen An secretly frowned when he heard this, Dafeng was destroyed by the sect alliance a thousand years ago, and in the next seven hundred years, mortals lost their freedom again and fell into a dark period of enslavement by the sect's rule.

If it weren't for the rise of Emperor Xia, a generation of male masters, who led many newcomers who had been cultivated by mortals to try their courage, and finally united with Emperor Xuanguang to fight a decisive battle against the sect alliance in the current imperial capital, and won the victory, forcing the sect into the open space, mortals would not have been truly liberated.

However, the old man in front of him said that three hundred years ago was still the era of Dafeng's rule, which is obviously not in line with historical facts.

Seeing that Chen An was silent for a long time and did not answer, the sword slave suddenly sneered, gave up the question, and then got up and said coldly:

"It seems that Your Excellency is not from the earthly world, you and I have nothing to say, so let's go back and rest as soon as possible. ”

Chen An didn't get up, smiled slightly, and slowly told the historical facts he knew. The sword slave was stunned, and then immediately apologized to Chen An, saying that he was just a temptation.

Chen An understood after hearing the reason, and then the two of them talked about the wine, and after three rounds of drinking, the sword slave's face was drunk, as if inadvertently muttering to himself:

"Do you know that there is a kind of person in this world who is someone else's sword, and another kind of person who is someone else's scabbard, and only when the sword and scabbard are together, the sword will not hurt anyone. ”

Chen An didn't understand the meaning of the sword slave's words, so he asked:

"Whoever is the sword, who is the scabbard. ”

The sword slave waved his hand and laughed:

In addition to the sword and scabbard are together, there is also a type of sword, called the sub-sword and the mother sword, according to legend, the person who has the sub-sword, if he intends to hold the sword and injure the person who has the mother sword, he will be stabbed by the sub-sword. ”

Chen An was a little clear in his heart when he heard this, he looked at the sword slave and thought to himself in his heart. Since the sword slave knew that he was also a person from the earthly realm, he always conveyed some kind of obscure information intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was guarding against something.

Seeing this, Chen An also learned the tone of the sword slave and continued:

"There are immortals here, so why worry about the sword hurting people. ”

The sword slave shook his head with a smile and asked rhetorically:

The three of them had been here for hundreds of years and had never left the city, during which a question arose. A sword that does not hurt the person holding the sword is a good sword, and if the sword will backlash, and the immortals are helpless, what will be the result of the sword?"

As he spoke, the sword slave looked at his feet, but Chen Anxin was suddenly startled and had an incredible guess.
