To Chen Jiuyang's relief, Zi Xuan's Nine-Nine Pure Yin Body was exposed, but it seemed only Lord San Yu knew about it and did not widely publicize it.
The Feathered Ascension Sect of the Immortal Alliance was, after all, not one of the five great sacred lands. Lord San Yu had finally found such a promising talent in Feng Province, so he naturally wanted to cultivate her in secret.
Even Zi Xuan herself did not know that she possessed the Pure Yin Body.
Yao Zi Xuan was taken in as a direct disciple by Lord San Yu. She did not cultivate in the sect but instead practiced within the Yao family's premises, which was a way to conceal her identity.
A formation was set up in the Yao family mansion to hide Yao Zi Xuan's cultivation.
However, when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. The Yao family had become a bit arrogant.
Their actions were ostentatious, many people received cultivation techniques, and the family began to transform.
When Chen Jiuyang arrived at the Yao family, although he had been kind to the Yao family and was betrothed to Yao Zi Xuan, in the eyes of the current Yao family, which had over a thousand members, Chen Jiuyang, a mere ordinary person, was not worthy of her.
As Chen Jiuyang stepped into the Yao family mansion, he could clearly sense a hint of disdain from the Yao family members.
"It's only natural… when I gained my power back then, I seemed to have been like this too."
"Moreover, Zi Xuan was taken as a disciple by an old monster in the Harmonious Dao stage from the Immortal Alliance. It's inevitable that the Yao family would undergo such a change."
Upon entering Yao Zi Xuan's courtyard, the entire interior had undergone a drastic transformation compared to when Chen Jiuyang visited over a year ago.
"Spirit Gathering Formation, Soul Binding Formation, Lost Formation…"
"The quality is not bad. It seems Lord San Yu truly intends to cultivate Zi Xuan seriously."
He dared not leave Qingzhu Village because of the Immortal Alliance, and it was also because of this that Zi Xuan was taken as a direct disciple.
The cause and effect between these events were truly not that simple to unravel.
Yao Zi Xuan sat on a futon in the center of the courtyard. The Spirit Gathering Formation made the spiritual energy almost as dense as liquid.
The cultivated immortal techniques made Yao Zi Xuan appear to have undergone a metamorphosis in her charm. Her skin was more radiant and lustrous, delicate yet cool.
In the four corners of the courtyard stood four cultivators dressed in the Feathered Ascension Sect's attire, appearing like servants or guards.
Yao Zi Xuan stopped cultivating. Upon seeing Chen Jiuyang arrive, a look of surprise flashed across her face: "Your injuries have healed, and you can leave the village?"
For the past year and more, Chen Jiuyang's inability to leave Qingzhu Village was an undeniable fact.
Chen Jiuyang smiled: "If I didn't heal my injuries and come to see you, I was afraid my wife would run off with someone else."
A blush involuntarily appeared on Yao Zi Xuan's pretty face. She said with a cold expression, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"You have the nerve to say that?"
"What, haven't you gone to find your other wives?"
Every word revealed her attitude towards Chen Jiuyang.
Yao Zi Xuan's status and position were different now. Many people within the Yao family had advised Yao Qianhe to break off Zi Xuan's engagement with Chen Jiuyang.
Yao Qianhe pondered for a long time but still suppressed the matter, not breaking off the engagement.
Firstly, the Nine Yin Yang Devouring Formation was resolved by Chen Jiuyang. Without Chen Jiuyang, Yao Zi Xuan would not have lived to see this day. Now that she had turned her fortunes around, should she cast aside the seemingly ordinary Chen Jiuyang and exchange Yao Zi Xuan's engagement for more benefits?
Secondly, the Human King of the Dragon Kingdom and the Immortal Alliance forces were currently in a delicate relationship, and the two sides had not yet clashed.
The renowned and deeply ingrained name of King Yan would instill fear in anyone who arrived.
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "Zi Xuan, it's been over a year. You should try to accept the fact that you have several sisters."
"Otherwise, when can we get married!"
"Shameless!" Yao Zi Xuan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with cold anger as she looked at Chen Jiuyang. "Get out!"
As she spoke, the pure Yin spiritual energy of the Foundation Establishment stage surged from her body like a wave, sweeping towards Chen Jiuyang.
"Hahahaha, Zi Xuan, you need to think carefully." Chen Jiuyang raised a hand and blocked the wave of spiritual energy.
"You are also a cultivator?" Surprise flashed in Yao Zi Xuan's eyes.
Chen Jiuyang smiled at her: "Zi Xuan, I will wait for you in Qingzhu Village."
"Who wants to find you!" Yao Zi Xuan snorted coldly.
Chen Jiuyang continued to smile: "You are my mother's designated eldest daughter-in-law. If you don't come, this position of eldest daughter-in-law will be snatched by someone else."
"I don't care about that!!!" Yao Zi Xuan snorted coldly.
Chen Jiuyang said no more, turned, and left. He left the Yao family just like that, without even seeing Yao Qianhe.
Afterward, he went directly to find Ji Lengyue.
He arrived at the Six Doors.
The Six Doors was now busier than ever. With the resurgence of luck, many martial artists and cultivators were causing trouble in secret.
Chen Jiuyang called Ji Lengyue from outside the Six Doors. After a while, Ji Lengyue hurried down.
"Your injuries are healed!" Ji Lengyue looked at Chen Jiuyang with surprise, similar to Zi Xuan.
"If my injuries weren't healed, I wouldn't be presentable," Chen Jiuyang smiled.
"Oh." Ji Lengyue said, "You've seen the person. You can go back now."
He was once again met with a cold shoulder from Ji Lengyue.
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his nose: "It's not like you have to rush me away so quickly."
"Then what else do you want to do?" Ji Lengyue snorted coldly.
"Can't we discuss this matter?" Chen Jiuyang asked.
"No." Ji Lengyue shook her head and said bluntly, "Discuss? I've always wanted to return to frontline work, but the Chief Constable hasn't approved my transfer. I can only sit in the office and waste my time every day."
"Isn't sitting in the office quite good? No fighting or killing." Chen Jiuyang said, "Can't you just have an easy job and live a good life?"
Ji Lengyue sneered: "I thought so too. Who knew you would find me several sisters! Are you expecting me to live like this?"
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his nose again and said, "Then let's meet halfway. What do you want?"
"I've cultivated the technique you gave me years ago to the Foundation Establishment stage. I want to return to the front lines to investigate cases!" Ji Lengyue said.
Ji Lengyue's talent in the path of immortality was average. It took her several years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and that was with Chen Jiuyang's provided techniques and resources.
As for Yao Zi Xuan, she reached the Foundation Establishment stage in three months.
Chen Jiuyang stroked his chin and pondered, "If I agree to let you return to the front lines to investigate cases, can you promise not to quarrel with the other women when you come to my house in the future?"
Ji Lengyue's eyes lit up slightly, but she didn't relent verbally, "That depends on my mood."
Chen Jiuyang glared at her: "No hedging."
"Alright." Ji Lengyue said, "I'll try my best…"
Everyone in the Six Doors headquarters knew that Ji Lengyue was the woman of the Yan Emperor's disciple. Who would dare to provoke her?
No one had ever made things difficult for her.
"If you've agreed, then you must fulfill it." Chen Jiuyang said, then handed her four miniature bows, spears, swords, and sabers, each only the size of a finger. "If you encounter danger, use these. Do you understand?"
Ji Lengyue was not entirely sure of the power of these bows, spears, swords, and sabers, but since Chen Jiuyang gave them to her, they were naturally life-saving treasures.
"I understand. Can I apply for a transfer now?"
"Go ahead. I'll go see Xi Butui too."
