Chen Yuejian rolled her eyes and said playfully, “Mother, are you jealous of me?”
“Do I need to be jealous of you?” Song Huaying said smugly, “Your father dotes on me very much. He often sleeps with me, massages me, and washes my feet. You won’t be able to enjoy these.”
Chen Yuejian was jealous and envious.
She turned to look at Chen An and said coquettishly, “Father, I want you to sleep with me too. Help me massage and wash my feet.”
Chen An smiled and said, “That won’t do.”
“Why!”
Chen Yuejian was puzzled.
Chen An did not know how to explain. He threw this question to his wife and said to his daughter, Chen Yuejian, “Ask your mother about this. As long as she agrees, 1 don’t care.”
After successfully diverting the firepower, he carried his third daughter, Chen Jiuli, with one hand and pulled his second daughter, Chen Yi Ke, with the other. He brought the two little fellows out of the cave abode.
Outside the cave abode.
At a glance, there were children and young women from the neighbors everywhere. It was very lively and energetic.
As soon as the eldest daughter and second daughter arrived outside, they quickly got along with the other children and played happily.
The third daughter wanted to join in as well, but she had yet to learn how to speak. She could only struggle to get out of her father’s arms to play with her sisters.
Chen An smiled faintly and kissed her chubby little face. Then, he put her down and let her go wherever she wanted.
He just had to keep an eye on her and not let her run far away.
After all, she had disguised her furry fox ears and snow-white fox tail so that no one would notice anything amiss.
“Deacon Chen, I haven’t seen you in the Alchemy Hall for a long time.”
Deacon Lin, who lived next door, had just come out of the cave abode and was about to head to the Alchemy Hall. When he saw Chen An, whom he had not seen for a few months, he immediately walked up with a smile and said.
Chen An replied with a smile, “I’ve been cultivating in seclusion at home recently and haven’t gone out much.”
“I see.”
Deacon Lin looked enlightened. Then, he smiled and flattered, “It seems that Deacon Chen’s cultivation has made a breakthrough. It’s only a matter of time before he reaches the Golden Core realm.”
Achieving the Golden Core Realm?
I’m already at the third level of the Nascent Soul realm!
Even if Sect Master Xiao Qingyue came, she could at most fight me to a draw!
Chen An thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he only smiled and said, “Deacon Lin, you’re exaggerating. It’s not easy to reach the Golden Core realm. It takes a lot of time to cultivate to that level.”
“Deacon Chen is too humble.”
After saying that, Deacon Lin suddenly sent a voice transmission to Chen An with a mysterious expression. “By the way, Deacon Chen, you’ve been cultivating in seclusion in the cave abode recently. I’m afraid you don’t know what happened outside, right?”
Chen An could guess that it was something big. It was most likely about the disappearance of the three elders of the Alchemy Hall, the Joyous Union Hall, and the White Lotus Hall.
However, he still pretended to be very interested and asked with a voice transmission, “What happened?”
Deacon Lin sent another voice transmission. “I don’t know why, but Elder Li of our Alchemy Hall, Elder Mo of the Joyous Union Hall, and Elder Yi of the White Lotus Hall suddenly disappeared on the same day. There’s no news from them until now.”
“It’s said that the poisoning of the water source last time might be related to these three elders.”
“The Law Enforcement Hall has already been led by the Hall Elder to investigate thoroughly.”
“However, after investigating for more than a month, there was no announcement. 1 don’t know if we can find anything or if we’ve already found something, but it’s not convenient to announce it. It needs to be kept a secret.” Deacon Lin’s tone sounded full of conspiracy theories.
Following that, he continued, “Also, 1 heard that the higher-ups are going to re-elect three elders to manage the three halls. Deacon Chen, you’ve researched the antidote previously and saved the Heaven Earth Sect. Coupled with your outstanding alchemy skills, you can participate in the competition.” “Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll directly become the new elder of the Alchemy Hall.”
“At that time, you’ll become the youngest Alchemy Hall Elder in the history of the Heaven Earth Sect. Your future is promising!”
The more Deacon Lin spoke, the more excited he became. He felt as if he was about to become an elder of the Alchemy Hall.
Chen An only smiled and said, “With my current cultivation level, I’m not even at the Golden Core realm. Forget it. Moreover, my qualifications are not good. I definitely can’t be an elder of the Alchemy Hall.”
“You’re wrong, Deacon Chen.” Deacon Lin persuaded, “Whether you can become an Elder of the Alchemy Hall or not, your cultivation level is not the most important. The most important thing is the level of your alchemy realm. As long as your alchemy realm is high, even if you’re just a Foundation Building Cultivator, you can still become an Elder of the Alchemy Hall.”
Chen An smiled and did not say anything.
Deacon Lin’s words made sense, but Chen An had no intention of becoming an elder of the Alchemy Hall.
The sky slowly darkened.
At night, the family sat in the hall and ate.
While Chen An was eating the honey cucumber made by Gu Xinyue, the voice transmission talisman in his storage ring trembled.
It was the voice transmission talisman that had contacted Ning Xian’er.
With a thought, Chen An took out the voice transmission talisman and chose to release it without any hesitation.
In the next moment, Ning Xian’er’s voice sounded from the voice transmission talisman.
“Deacon Chen, I have good news for you!”
“Holy Maiden, please speak.”
“My master said that as long as you’re willing, she can help you become an elder of the Alchemy Hall in a year!”
As soon as Ning Xian’er said this, the eyes of the five wives at the dining table lit up.
Song Huaying said excitedly, “Husband, you’re going to become an elder of the Alchemy Hall!”
Chen An didn’t respond to his wife. Instead, he replied to Ning Xian’er calmly,
“Holy Maiden, I’ve only joined the Alchemy Hall for a few years. My qualifications are still shallow and I’m not qualified to be an elder of the Alchemy Hall. I’ve really let you down.”
“Deacon Chen, these are not problems. As long as your alchemy skills are profound enough, you are qualified to sit in the position of an elder of the Alchemy Hall.”
Ning Xian’er advised earnestly.
Chen An did not want to waste his breath on her. He casually found an excuse and said, “Holy Maiden, I’m sorry. My third daughter woke up crying. I have to coax her.”
After sending this message, he put the voice transmission talisman into his storage ring and no longer paid attention to Ning Xian’er.
Heaven and Earth Palace, Holy Maiden’ Cave Abode.
Ning Xian’er had just finished bathing and was sitting on the jade bed. Her slightly wet black hair was draped behind her, accompanied by waves of warm spiritual qi that was slowly drying.
She looked at the voice transmission talisman in her hand that no longer transmitted Chen An’s voice. She felt a little uncomfortable and angry.
As the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Earth Sect, she had been ignored by an Alchemy Hall deacon time and time again!
What right did he have! Shouldn’t he be the one trying to please me!
He was just a deacon of the Alchemy Hall. Why was he so arrogant?!
Annoying!
Ning Xian’er was extremely frustrated. She angrily threw the voice transmission talisman out of the window and decided not to contact Chen An again.
However, in just a few seconds, she got up and floated out of the window, picking up the voice transmission talisman she had just thrown out.
Forget it. An adult should not take offense. A Holy Maiden should have the bearings of a Holy Maiden. There was no need to be angry with a deacon..
