Chapter 157 An Inexplicable Sharp Pain in the Heart.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Chen. Since this young man came into sight, numerous rumors appeared. People held different judgments on Xiao Chen, but at this moment, all the people turned their focus on him.

He was going to deal with Patriarch Guanshan. Not to mention the fact that the majority of the people didn't have the ability, but who among them could have the courage and responsibility to proceed without hesitation?

Xiaoyue paced toward him and smiled tenderly. "Welcome to become one of the Orthodox Path, Brother Xiao. It is a blessing to the world."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly. "You overpraised, Fairy Xiaoyue." This matter was no longer his own business. It was now related to the safety of the entire East Continent. The eyes of Perfected Immortal Qing Chen reminded him of his grandmaster, Perfected Immortal Qingxuan.

At that time, in order to get him back from death, Perfected Immortal Qingxuan didn't hesitate to defy the laws of nature by using his cultivation. His grandmaster rebuilt his Immortal Body and reunited his soul. But in the end, he failed his grandmaster.

At this time, hearty laughter came from the head of the hall. Shaking a folding fan gently, Moxuan Zi looked unrestrained. He instantly won the hearts of many female disciples outside the hall. He smiled gently and said, "In that case, Xiao Chen, do you want to become my disciple?"

"Acknowledge, acknowledge my master?" Xiao Chen stunned for a long time before he could react. Others in the hall also realized that if Jade Qing Seven were going to pass on their strength to him, he must first become a disciple of the Jade Qing Sect.

It was a great chance to become a disciple of the Jade Qing Seven! In addition, Moxuan Zi had a high level of cultivation to use and he was only half a step away from the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, he also managed to achieve bodily immortality in his early years. Thus, he would achieve the Immortal Realm in the future.

Moxuan Zi asked with a gentle smile, "Why? Don't you know that before you receive the strength of the seven of us, you should first become a disciple of the Jade Qing Sect?"

Lots of female disciples outside the hall envied him very much. There were so many people would rather acknowledge Martial Uncle Moxuan than Perfected Immortal Qing Chen who was the Sect Leader as their master. It was a pity that this Martial Uncle Moxuan was too free and easy, so he was not willing to accept any disciple in his life.

However, under the eager expectations of everyone, Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry, this... I absolutely can't do this." He understood that though Moxuan Zi looked like only a few years older than him, Moxuan Zi was actually far more than 100 years old. He should call him Senior if they only considered the age in this life.

But he couldn't take Moxuan Zi as his master. No matter how much time had passed, he would have only one master for all time. His master was Ling Yin. The things with Huangfu Xin'er and Liu Yunzheng were only matters of expediency, which didn't count at all. However, this time, in such a solemn situation, things were different. Therefore, he couldn't do it.

Everyone cast a doubtful look on Xiao Chen. It was the first time that Moxuan Zi tried to take a disciple, but he was refused in front of so many people. However, Mo Xuanzi was always so big-hearted that he would never hold a grudge against Xiao Chen because of this. He then smiled gently. "Why? You can just tell us."

Xiao Chen was always modest. He shook his head and sighed. "To tell you the truth, I have already had a master. Although my master's current whereabouts were unknown, I will find her whatever happens. So... I'm really sorry."

Moxuan Zi shook his head and smiled. "I see. I did this without careful consideration."

The rest of the people now also understood what had happened. Acknowledging another master without informing was a major disrespect to his current master, which was also a big taboo in the Immortals' sect. This person remained unaffected by the outside world and his loyalty to his master was really plausible. Many people nodded and praised him secretly.

Yu Yifeng frowned. He thought to himself, "I've never heard Lil Chen mention that he has a master. He lived in the Xiao family since childhood. How can he have a master? But his cultivation methods seem to be handed down from ancient times. Could it be..."

He suddenly remembered the moment when they encountered the Ancient Immortal Clan ruin on their way to the Widespread Wintriness Sect, Xiao Chen's acts and expressions all suddenly became extremely abnormal. At that time, he also said some ravings, for example, Xiao Chen even asked him to bury him there after he died. Could it be that... Could it be that... Yu Yifeng's back was full of cold sweat and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

At this time, Xiaoyue stepped forward. She always wanted to know who Xiao Chen's master was and why he knew the cultivation method in her sect. She smiled lightly and said, "I guess that your master must be extraordinary. Can you tell us who is your master?"

Xiao Chen shook his head. "Sorry, I really can't tell you this."

It was not a strange thing that Xiao Chen didn't want to say the name of his master. Yu Yifeng turned to face Moxuan Zi and said with a clasp of his hands, "So, what shall we do next, Martial Uncle Moxuan?"

Moxuan Zi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We can invite your four Martial Uncles here first."

Then, after the others finished discussing, some of them left without delay because they had to hurry back to deal with affairs in their own sects. Now, there was only Xiao Chen and some others left in the hall. Yu Yifeng said, "Junior Brother Xiao, Miss Luo must be very happy if she knows that you are back. Are you going to see her with me now?"

This was exactly what Xiao Chen thought at this moment so he said good-bye to Perfected Immortal Qing Chen and the others. When he was about to leave with Murong Xian'er, Perfected Immortal Qing Chen suddenly said at the head of the hall, "Can you please stay here a little longer, Miss Murong?"

Murong Xian'er turned around and cast a look at him. Then she glanced at Xiao Chen at her side. Xiao Chen smiled gently. "Perfected Immortal Qing Chen has grasped mystic cultivation methods. If you can get his advice, you will gain endless benefits in the future." He knew that there was an abundance of Spiritual Qi in the body of Xian'er. Even he could not be compared with her on that. It was only that she couldn't grasp the main points in cultivation. If she could get the advice from Perfected Immortal Qing Chen, she would make astounding advances in her cultivation in the future.

"Oh..." Murong Xian'er let go of his sleeves and nodded. Xiao Chen smiled softly. He saluted Perfected Immortal Qing Chen and said, "Then thanks for the trouble." After that, he left the hall with Yu Yifeng.

Despite being late into autumn, the mountains and trees were still lush. The edge of the cliff was full of dogwood. Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Another Double Ninth Festival passed. How are my parents at home? Is everything okay with the three princes? Brother Yi, whom I met before long and who likes drinking, is he alright now? Well, I don't know the answers."

"And Bai Ying, is she still sighing to the moon every night?"

"Right, Lil Chen, do you know None-flower Dust before?" At this time, Yu Yifeng suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Xiao Chen frowned and he shook his head. "He helped me once when I got out of the Zhou State." Actually, he still didn't figure it out that why None-flower Dust whose cultivation was unfathomable helped him again and again.

As they were talking, they came to the last small yard. They happened to meet Luo Shangyan who was walking out of the yard. They stared at each other for a long time before Xiao Chen murmured, "Senior Sister Luo..."

Yu Yifeng smiled gently. "You two talk and I should go back to see if my master has any other instructions." After that, he turned back.

Xiao Chen saw that several doors in the courtyard were decorated with dogwood. He guessed it must be the custom of the Three Pure Sect. Then he said, "Senior Sister Luo, let's go inside and I'll talk to you in detail."

They then went into the courtyard. Xiao Chen told her all the things happened in the past month. He brushed over the things about Patriarch Guanshan in case she would feel worried.

Somehow he always felt something big would happen in the near future. His feeling might be related to the things happened a thousand years ago or even related to the destruction of Immortals and Devils as well as his resurrection. He couldn't tell how exactly he felt. It felt as if all his friends would be separated soon, so he would cherish the ever-decreasing period of time he could spend with them.

All in a sudden, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. This pain without warning made him lose in his thoughts for a long time.
