Chapter 430 - Enemies Come Knocking
A few days later.
A communication token in Chen Chen's storage ring suddenly lit up. He took it out and saw that it was the communication token that Li Xian had given him in the past.
"Chen Chen, where have you been? I have already come out of seclusion, but I have not succeeded in entering the Unification stage."
Seeing this message, Chen Chen could not help but be secretly delighted.
This woman was indeed not favored by the heavens!
"I went out to travel and broaden my horizons. I didn't expect you to come out of seclusion so quickly, Sect Master. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come out."
Chen Chen replied, his conscience didn't waver at all.
"So that's how it is. I've sensed for a moment. You are now very far away from the Li Xian sect, so you shouldn't be able to return in a short period of time. It seems that you and I are fated to be separated."
Seeing these words, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel wary.
'This woman is so easy to talk to? That doesn't seem very possible!'
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be cursing and then saying, "You brat, just you wait. Even if you're at the ends of the earth, I'll still capture you back?"
As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on. Chen Chen didn't believe that this woman was so kind and understanding.
If she was understanding, would she have done something like forcefully snatching a good husband? Not to mention that she had failed her breakthrough and was in a bad mood.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen subconsciously read her words backward.
"I have come out of seclusion and stepped into the Unification stage. No matter how far you run, you are fated to meet me."
Looking at it this way, it was much more reasonable.
"Hmph, you want to plot against me? No way!"
Chen Chen snorted coldly and called Lian Yang. Lian Yang also called Mo Ying. With a single message, he arranged for Mo Ying's disciples, Ren Qi and Mo Ying, to be sent to the outer region.
He told the two of them to keep an eye out in Tongxian City and see if that detestable woman would take a teleportation formation to the southern mountain range.
With this arrangement, Chen Chen felt much more at ease.
...
Seven or eight days later, important information came from Tongxian City.
Because the Sect Master had entered the Unification Stage, the Li Xian sect was about to move into the southern region. They had already applied to join the Union of Immortals. They only needed to wait for the Sect Master to enter the southern region and accept the union of Immortals'inspection. Then, they could settle down in the southern region.
"Senior, I saw it! A woman who looks exactly like you described brought three female cultivators into the teleportation hall. It looks like they are going to enter the southern region through the teleportation array!"
Looking at the message from Ren Qi, Chen Chen raised his eyebrows.
Li Xian, that woman, really wanted to plot against him!
"Well done! You can come back now."
"Senior, will there be a reward when you go back?"
"... Yes!"
After receiving the news, Chen Chen left the Golden Saint Sect and lived in Golden Saint City.
He had no choice. If Li Xian found out that he lived in the Golden Saint Sect, she would most likely not dare to come and find trouble with him.
In order to lure this woman, it was better for him to live in a city. Not only did he have to live in a city, but he also had to live in a restaurant in the city and pretend to be a passer-by.
These days, Sect Master Jin had nothing to do. In addition, he was worried that something might happen to Chen Chen, so he also accompanied him to live in a restaurant.
Chen Chen made some calculations. After he arrived at the southern region through the teleportation array that day, it took him about a day to arrive at Golden Saint Sect.
From the looks of it, that woman would probably arrive in less than a day.
If she knew what was important and what was important, she would need half a month to go to the Union of Immortals first.
No matter what, Chen Chen decided to stay in Golden Saint City until he met that woman.
...
"Fellow Daoist Tian Yun, what is the relationship between you and that female cultivator? Is it worth it for you to do this?"
Sect Master Jin couldn't help but feel curious when he saw how well Chen Chen had prepared.
Chen Chen smiled and said, "A female cultivator who has a crush on me. Unfortunately, I have no feelings for her, so I directly rejected her. I didn't expect her to hate me because her love is unrequited. So, she wanted to kidnap me. Hehe, don't you think it's laughable? However, I can't be considered a mortal enemy."
A trace of envy flashed through Sect Master Jin's eyes when he heard this, and at the same time, he felt a trace of sympathy for that female cultivator.
Who wouldn't be good to deal with? To deal with a fortune-teller? Wouldn't that make him feel uncomfortable?
The two of them sat in the inn, drinking and laughing at the same time. This continued for more than half a day. During this period of time, Chen Chen gave some suggestions for the development of the Golden Saint Sect, which made Sect Master Jin very impressed.
At this time, Chen Chen received another message from Li Xian.
"Little Bastard, guess where I am?"
Seeing this message, Chen Chen smiled indifferently and looked at sect leader Jin.
Sect Master Jin took out a communication token and said to Chen Chen a moment later, "Fellow Daoist Tian Yun, there was a message from the city gate just now. The people you were waiting for... have entered the city."
"Sect Master Jin, you should leave for now. If anything happens later, you can just quietly follow behind."
"Okay!" Sect Master Jin responded. His smile became even more wretched as he went up to the second floor of the restaurant.
After he left, Chen Chen looked at the communication token in his hand and could not help but sigh at this woman's impatience.
'It has only been half a day and she has already rushed here? Is my charm that great?'
Although he felt helpless in his heart, he still pretended to reply, "Senior Li Xian, aren't you at the Li Xian sect?"
"Hehe, you guessed wrong."
This sentence didn't come from the transmission token, but from outside the restaurant.
Chen Chen "turned pale with fright" as he raised his head, only to see four women slowly walking over from outside the restaurant.
He knew three of them, they were Li Xian, Li Xiang, and Chu Yun.
As for the last woman, she wasn't as well-maintained as Li Xian and looked like a middle-aged woman, but Chu Yun was following closely behind her.
Looking at this position, Chen Chen knew that this woman should be Chu Yun's master, which was also Li Xian's Senior sister.
Seeing Chen Chen's shocked expression, Li Xian was very satisfied. She smiled sweetly and walked to Chen Chen's side. She did not stand on ceremony and sat down in the original position of Sect Master Jin.
"Little Bastard, your life is not bad."
After Li Xian sat down, she looked at the table full of food and said with a smile.
However, there was a hint of ridicule and arrogance hidden in her smile.
Chen Chen rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "Senior, why did you come in person? If I knew this would happen, I would have rushed back to the Li Xian sect myself."
"Go back by myself? Hehe, if I only came out after three to five years, I'm afraid you would have gone to the northern region."
Li Xian picked up the wine bottle and drank a mouthful of wine as she said indifferently.
"You're thinking too much!"
Chen Chen thought to himself, but on the surface, he still acted as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He decided that he had to teach this Li Xian a good lesson and let her know the principles of being a human!
"Senior, what are you talking about? Why did I travel so far?"
"What? What do you think?"
Bang!
Li Xian's face suddenly turned cold, and the bottle in her hand was directly crushed by her, turning into powder and falling down.
Chen Chen hurriedly reminded her, "Senior! Fighting is not allowed in Golden Saint City, you must not be rash! Otherwise, if you are investigated, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Li Xian slowly stood up and placed a supreme-grade Spirit Stone on the table, and then stretched out her hand and pressed it on Chen Chen's shoulder.
"You are thinking too much. If I take you down, do I still need to fight? Tell me, are you going to obediently follow me, or do I have to forcibly take you away?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen's eyes flashed with a troubled and unwilling look, and his face became even redder.
This was not an act, but Chu Yun, who was behind Li Xian, had been staring at him. Her eyes were filled with resentment, and it was difficult for him not to blush.
"Little bastard, do you think the Golden Saint City offend a Unification Stage cultivator like me because of a small figure like you if I take you away by force? I advise you not to take any chances!"
Seeing Chen Chen standing still, Li Xian added.
Hearing this, Chen Chen sighed dejectedly and said, "Senior... I'll go with you."
There was nothing he could do. There were many people in Golden Saint City, so it was indeed not a suitable place to fight.
"What senior? Am I that old? Call me sister!" Li Xian said with slight anger.
"Sister..."
Chen Chen called out aggrievedly but he secretly swore in his heart that he would let this woman know what cruelty was later.
