Chapter 1144: Will Haoyang and Qinglian Go to Tianwai?

Shang Hongxue had made up her mind; when Qi Ruohua arrived, she would certainly not agree to Haoyang going to Tianwai. By then, wouldn't her son Chen Qinglian also be unable to leave?

Tianwai is after all too dangerous, unlike this world; Shang Hongxue inwardly does not want her son to go, and it would be best if they went together then—that would be the best.

"Qi Ruohua has arrived; she came just in time, neither too early nor too late."

The timing was just right, hitting the mark perfectly, helping her resolve a major trouble.

Unable to help herself, Shang Hongxue looked forward to Qi Ruohua's arrival; Chen Chuyang's lips curled up, his wife's intention was obvious at a glance—he did not want his son to go to Tianwai, but he could neither refuse outright nor agree outright.

Not agreeing, yet unable to refuse—being a mother is truly difficult. If Qi Ruohua were to refuse, she wouldn't need to speak; she could use Qi Ruohua's mouth to refuse everything. Chen Chuyang knows his wife too well; she truly knows how to make use of other factors.

The poor son still doesn't know what he will face; Chen Chuyang shook his head, watching the two figures outside. Soon they arrived on the mountain and met with Chen Chuyang and the others. Qi Ruohua saw Shang Hongxue, said nothing, asked nothing, and their eye contact began.

In just a few breaths, the two women finished communicating; they reached an agreement to jointly refuse letting the son leave.

The only question was who would speak the refusal; Shang Hongxue persuaded Qi Ruohua to play the bad guy, and Chen Chuyang, without even looking, knew what they would say and what they thought, leaving him both laughing and crying.

Qi Haoyang and Chen Qinglian also exchanged glances, just like their mothers, communicating each other's achievements—whether they had succeeded?

After the exchange, they learned that neither had succeeded, nor obtained their mothers' consent; the two couldn't help but sigh, their eyes carrying a hint of bitterness.

"Ruohua sister, you've finally come; I've missed you so much. I just mentioned you to my husband, and here you are—what a coincidence!"

Qi Ruohua immediately understood: "I also miss my husband and Hongxue sister. I've brought Haoyang here to visit you two—how have you been lately?"

The meaning of her words is that she does not agree to Haoyang leaving, but she doesn't know how to refuse; she wants to use her husband's mouth to refuse. This is also her main purpose in coming to Longshe Shan this time—she cannot directly refuse, lest she damage her son's confidence.

She had thought that after her son went out for training and returned, he would stay in the dynasty, help her ease her burden, gradually take over her position, freeing her to cultivate in peace and attend to her own affairs—but who would have thought that the newly returned Qi Haoyang would want to go to Tianwai?

Qi Ruohua naturally was unwilling, but she could not refuse outright; she knows her son's temperament best—the more she refuses him, the more he insists. Since the son wants to go to Tianwai, no one can stop him.

The only option is to have her husband persuade the son to stay peacefully by her side, cultivate for a while longer, and only go to Tianwai when his strength is sufficient.

"We're all fine, Ruohua sister. This time you brought Haoyang here for what purpose?" Shang Hongxue got straight to the point, smiling and nodding at Qi Haoyang.

Qi Haoyang showed a smile; he sensed the critical moment had arrived, and his heart involuntarily tightened.

The most thrilling moment is about to arrive; whether they can leave will depend on this occasion.

Chen Qinglian looked toward his mother Shang Hongxue, waiting for her to speak and agree to his departure.

Qi Ruohua spoke: "Haoyang wants to go to Tianwai; I don't know how to decide, so I came to ask Hongxue sister and my husband. Husband, what do you think of this?"

Shang Hongxue also turned to Chen Chuyang, smiling: "Husband, you ought to give a proper opinion. Haoyang and Qinglian want to go to Tianwai together; Tianwai is after all very dangerous, and none of us know its situation—only you here know."

There's meaning within the words; another layer is that husband, you should think it over before answering, and not speak rashly.

Both of us are here; if you offend both of us, you may regret it later.

Shang Hongxue has confidence in hand; she is not afraid of Chen Chuyang speaking nonsense.

Chen Chuyang was both laughing and crying; these two women together were pressuring him, clearly aiming to make him speak the refusal—this move is truly ruthless.

On one side are his two sons; on the other side are his two wives; offending either side is not good.

It's plainly putting him on a fire to roast—either way is bad.

"Cough—cough." Xu Junbai coughed once; both sons looked together at Chen Chuyang, waiting for him to speak.

Even Shang Hongchen on the mountain looked this way; she is very smart, didn't come over to join the fun. This time, Shang Hongchen has learned to behave, hiding in the Spirit Field, not coming to interfere in this matter, and she does not want to become her husband's scapegoat.

"Tianwai is indeed very dangerous."

As soon as those words were spoken, Shang Hongxue and Qi Ruohua's faces lit up; sure enough, the husband is on their side.

On the contrary, Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang's faces fell; their hearts sank a little, especially Chen Qinglian—his father's tone has changed, no longer as before; could this matter fall through?

Are they going to be in trouble?

"But..."

The tone shifted; Qi Ruohua and Shang Hongxue's faces darkened, they stared at Chen Chuyang, seemingly threatening him.

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang both raised their heads, staring at their father, hoping to hear from his mouth news favorable to them.

Chen Chuyang continued: "The danger of Tianwai is controllable; for now, Tianwai is very suitable for their two cultivations. Letting them go to Tianwai also benefits them. Ladies, you need not worry—they have grown up and know how to protect themselves."

"The children have grown up; you should also let go. This world will ultimately bind their footsteps; as parents, we cannot become a burden to our children."

If we cannot help the children, at least we should not become their burden.

Chen Chuyang emphasized this point: he agrees to let the two sons go to Tianwai, but even if they go to Tianwai, they must stay within Cangzhou Longshe Shan; they cannot go elsewhere, which is the same principle as staying here. However, being in Tianwai Longshe Shan brings them greater benefits.

It is very suitable for their cultivation, can let them rise rapidly, does not hinder their progress in cultivation, and can guarantee their safety—achieving two goals at once.

Qi Ruohua clenched her fists, worried incessantly.

Shang Hongxue patted Qi Ruohua's hand, comforting her.

"I know you two are very worried; this matter is not a bad thing, and the children will be safe even if they go to Tianwai."

"If it really won't work, I will personally escort them to Tianwai—how about that?"

Chen Chuyang also hasn't been to Tianwai for a long time; he could go to Tianwai again to harvest a batch of spiritual medicine, and incidentally check how the Nine-grade Farm of his clone Qinglong Daoren is coming along—the previous batch of resources hasn't been used up, and the benefits obtained are enormous.

For now, the overall strength of Longshe Shan is rapidly rising; the Great Qi Dynasty, Yin Gui Sect, and Spirit Sword Sect have all gained considerable benefits, their strength swiftly increasing beyond Chen Chuyang's expectations.

If this continues, they will soon be able to march to Tianwai to wage war.
