Chapter 10: Each to its own!
Early the next morning.
"System, are you saying Jin Ruoyan is the female lead?" Chen Xuan asked the system in his mind after finishing in the morning.
"Ding, yes, she possesses the luck of a female lead and has a strong connection with Qin Feng, so she has been identified as the female lead."
"I see. It seems there's some plot I don't know about. Even that lousy author couldn't get to that part!"
"What are you thinking about, my husband?" Jin Ruoyan suddenly hugged Chen Xuan and pressed her cheek against his chest as she asked.
"It's nothing, just some cultivation-related matters."
"My husband really didn't lie to Ruoyan. The cultivation method you described is truly amazing. Ruoyan is already at the seventh level of Qi Refining!" Jin Ruoyan looked at Chen Xuan with admiration.
"Oh, not at all, it's nothing! But my Ruoyan, I really didn't expect that from her performance last night!" Chen Xuan rubbed Jin Ruoyan's little face.
Jin Ruoyan's face turned bright red instantly.
"It's all because you're so mean, my husband! I'm ignoring you now!"
"Okay, okay, it was my fault, but it's already morning. Are you sure you're okay not going home?"
"It's okay, I snuck out. I just need to sneak back to my room."
"What if Yanxin comes to you now? She's probably heard about my upcoming marriage, and she might gossip about it with you?"
"Huh?" Jin Ruoyan's smile froze.
"No, no, I have to go back now, I'll come back later!" After saying that, Jin Ruoyan quickly dressed and limped back home.
"This girl!" Chen Xuan chuckled.
However, he also got up, washed up, and came to Lin Shuiyao's side. Lin Shuiyao had already gotten up and started preparing breakfast. After all, her cultivation was still shallow, and those in the Qi Refining stage still needed to eat.
"Husband, you're here. Did you sleep well last night?" Lin Shuiyao asked Chen Xuan with a smile, seemingly implying something.
"Uh, not bad, not bad! Haha," Chen Xuan chuckled, but Lin Shuiyao gave him a gentle reproachful look.
"My husband usually comes to keep me and the children company every night, why didn't he come last night?"
"Well..." Seeing Lin Shuiyao staring intently at him, Chen Xuan told her everything.
"That girl from the Jin family is quite outstanding in every way, it's just that her spiritual root..."
Jin Ruoyan only has a mixed spiritual root, with a slightly higher metal element, that's all. Therefore, Lin Shuiyao is somewhat worried about whether she can stay with Chen Xuan to the end.
She wasn't jealous at all about Chen Xuan wanting to take another wife; mainly because she sometimes couldn't handle it all by herself!
And if she doesn't let him take a concubine, people might say she's a jealous woman! That's absolutely unacceptable!
As for her own status? Don't be ridiculous, how could a little girl be a match for her? Come back in a few hundred years!
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Don't worry about it." Chen Xuan hugged Lin Shuiyao.
"Alright, then you all must cultivate diligently, so you don't end up experiencing life and death!"
"understood."
……
After chatting with Lin Shuiyao for a while, Chen Xuan went to give some brief guidance to the disciples from the Qin and Liu families.
However, Liu Yanxin seemed rather sullen today. Jin Ruoyan, on the other hand, was carefree and laughing and joking. This was because she was already at the seventh level of Qi Refining, while her best friend and rival, Liu Yanxin, was still stuck at the sixth level.
"Senior Brother Chen, can we talk privately?"
Chen Xuan looked up and saw that the person who had come was Liu Yanxin.
“Of course, Junior Sister Yanxin,” Chen Xuan replied with a smile.
Liu Yanxin stopped beside Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan looked at Liu Yanxin, smelling her faint fragrance, and his heart stirred slightly. She was the first female lead to appear, but her screen time was pitifully small, so she was definitely not the main female lead.
But she possesses stunning beauty, a rare beauty, especially her long, beautiful legs, which are the envy of many.
Chen Xuan's gaze unconsciously fell on Liu Yanxin's legs, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. Liu Yanxin noticed Chen Xuan's gaze, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Senior Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"
Chen Xuan snapped out of his daze and gave an awkward laugh.
"It's nothing, Junior Sister Yanxin. Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Yes, it's about you and Aunt Yao. I, I've already heard about it!" Liu Yanxin's emotions were slightly agitated.
But you can't blame her. Her senior brother might suddenly become her father in the future; anyone would find that hard to accept, right? Besides, she had a very good relationship with Senior Brother Chen Xuan...
"Oh, so that's what it is. Is there a problem? Yao Yao and I are in love, and we're thinking of getting married." Chen Xuan said the same lines he used when facing Jin Ruoyan.
"Do you...does Qin Feng know? Have you told him what he will do in the future..." Liu Yanxin's face turned red, and she really couldn't say anything.
"Oh, you didn't mention Qin Feng, I completely forgot! I haven't told Xiao Feng yet! I need to tell him quickly so he can't miss my and his mother's grand celebration!"
"As for Xiao Feng and me, we each have our own roles. I call him Junior Brother, and he calls me Dad!"
"!!!"
Liu Yanxin pointed to herself in shock.
"Well, what about me?"
“Of course, we should each follow our own path, but since you’re not married to Qin Feng yet, let’s call each other ‘brother’ and ‘sister’!” Chen Xuan said.
Liu Yanxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, without even realizing it herself.
"Alright, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"..." Liu Yanxin remained silent.
She also wanted to know whether Lin Shuiyao was willing or forced, but she couldn't bring herself to ask Chen Xuan. Even if she was forced, she couldn't stop it.
"Alright, since everything's alright, let's go back. I should get back to my business. I'm getting married in two or three days, so I definitely can't focus on this now."
……
Liu Yanxin didn't know how she had gotten through it. From the moment she met Chen Xuan, he had never chased after her, but now...
"Hey, what's wrong? You look so lost. Did... your senior brother bully you?" Jin Ruoyan asked with concern.
"No, my senior brother didn't bully me," Liu Yanxin hurriedly explained.
"So what happened to you?"
"Tell me what's going on. My senior brother is going to marry my future... brother. How can you feel good about that?"
"You two can just talk your own thing, it won't affect you!" Jin Ruoyan pouted.
"Yes, it doesn't affect me..." Liu Yanxin repeated, but she still couldn't be happy and felt very sad.
"This is right!"
"By the way, how did you break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining? I asked you earlier, and you were stammering about it!"
"I...I don't know either, that's just how I broke through!" Jin Ruoyan blushed.
She genuinely didn't know how she broke through. She was completely dazed at the time, and did whatever Chen Xuan told her to do. Then, when she came to her senses, she broke through.
Liu Yanxin stared at Jin Ruoyan for a while.
"Your breakthrough this time is very strange!"
"No, no, this is all from my usual practice!"
"I broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining before you, so why haven't I accumulated enough to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining?"
"Huh? I don't know then, hahaha!"
