Bai Chen sneaked out of the pavilion bedroom, using the stargazing walker skill to exit through the window.
He journeyed up into the sky which was full of darkness, though there was still some moonlight shining through.
Reaching a certain height, Bai Chen stood still midair. His eyes were gazing down at the ground below.
Being at a certain height in the sky allowed him to see the whole area of the Lunar Land Sect clearly.
The sect itself was not very big. It was indeed a small sect like what Xu Xue Ning had told him when they had first met.
“It’s a good thing that this place is not very big. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to install the four-star formation,” Bai Chen mumbled and let out a sigh of relief.
That four-star formation that he had was of a low grade; therefore, the space around which it could be installed was limited.
That was the reason why Bai Chen sighed with relief when he found out that the four-star formation could indeed be installed around the Lunar Land Sect.
“I should do it now.” Bai Chen did not want to waste any more time. He quickly took the four-star formation out of the dimension ring, then quickly walked through the air to install it.
......................................
While Bai Chen was starting to install the four-star formation, inside a room in the tenth house near the pavilion, Xu Xue Ning was standing in front of a wooden chair.
Zheng Fang was seated on the chair. Her face was both solemn and relaxed at the same time.
She looked at Xu Xue Ning a little before deciding to speak. “Xue Ning, what is your relationship with Elder Chen Bai really like?”
Xu Xue Ning could not comprehend why her master had asked this question. She replied with a polite tone, though. “My relationship with Elder Chen Bai is as I told master yesterday.”
“Is it really just that?” Zheng Fang asked curiously with a slight frown.
“That is it,” Xu Xue Ning replied almost instantly. Her beautiful, angelic face showed only curiosity.
Having heard Xu Xue Ning’s answer, Zheng Fang went quiet. The master started to ponder things in her mind.
‘If Xue Ning says so, then this must be the truth. Because Xue Ning doesn’t lie.’
Coming to this conclusion, Zheng Fang blinked a few times before revealing a smile.
She thought that Xu Xue Ning seemed oblivious about why Bai Chen had decided to help the Lunar Land Sect. The master looked at her student for a while before speaking in a solemn voice.
“Xue Ning, do you want the Lunar Land Sect to be a strong one or not?”
Hearing the question, Xu Xue Ning did not give her answer right away. She pondered it for a moment, not understanding why Zheng Fang had been asking her only strange questions.
She gave her reply nevertheless: “Of course, master, I want the Lunar Land Sect to be a strong one!”
For her, how could she not want her own sect to be strong? Not only would she become stronger as well, but no one could think to bully or destroy her sect with ease ever again.
Like the situation her sect was experiencing now!
“Then make Elder Chen Bai your husband!”
Zheng Fang said this very quickly. Xu Xue Ning had not even finished saying her last word more than a second ago.
“M… master, what did you say?!?” Xu Xue Ning’s beautiful eyes widened in shock. Her flawless body shook, hearing what Zheng Fang had just said.
The master had a very serious expression on her face. She did not pay much attention to Xu Xue Ning’s reaction.
“Xue Ning, in my point of view, Elder Chen Bai chose to help the Lunar Land Sect is all because of you,” Zheng Fang said. Her face was as serious as her voice.
“Because of me?”
“Correct. Because of you. Think about it. How else could our very small sect have a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator decide to help us? Not to mention the one looking to destroy us is another fellow Sky Soaring Realm cultivator!”
Zheng Fang stared at Xu Xue Ning without blinking. Her words made Xue Ning think hard about this fact.
Giving it serious thought, it was as Zheng Fang, her master, had said. It was almost impossible that Bai Chen would be willing to help a small sect that was actually unknown to him.
But she was still skeptical about the idea that it was because of her. The woman spoke with a low voice.
“I think Elder Chen Bai definitely has other reasons for agreeing to help. I don’t think it’s because of me…”
“Xue Ning, you still don’t know how beautiful you are, do you?” Zheng Fang interrupted her.
“What do you mean?” The woman seemed confused about what Zheng Fang was trying to tell her.
Zheng Fang shook her head a little. “You don’t know what a beautiful woman you are, Xue Ning?”
Xue Ning’s face changed. She seemed to understand what Zheng Fang had been trying to say.
“M… master, are you implying that Elder Chen Bai chose to help our sect because of my beauty?” she asked with a shaky voice.
Her thoughts went into disarray. To be frank, she had never thought of this before, and she felt quite skeptical about this idea.
Zheng Fang nodded towards her student. “So, you finally understand it. When you smiled, I noticed Elder Chen Bai looking at you in stupefaction. From my perspective, it seems he was captivated by your beauty. Otherwise, there are no other reasons for all this.”
“This…” Xu Xue Ning was speechless. She had never thought there would be such a thing.
“Therefore, the reason he’s helping the Lunar Land Sect now must be you!” Zheng Fang said once more and stood up from the wooden chair.
“Xue Ning, think about this very carefully. If you want the Lunar Land Sect to become stronger, you must make Elder Chen Bai your husband. I don’t think it’s a difficult task. It’s only up to you.” Zheng Fang said this as her parting remark before she left the room.
The master left Xu Xue Ning standing there blankly. Although Zheng Fang had not forced Xu Xue Ning, her words made Xu Xue Ning think very hard. She did not know what to do with the situation she was facing.
“What should I do?” she mumbled very softly to herself.
“But how is it possible that he likes me when he’s courting Xu In?” She then thought about this fact, which made her think even harder.
