Chapter 1680: Shang Hongchen's Ambition, Proposed Again
Shang Hongxue is ice-snow smart; she still understands this principle. Grandmother Long Zetian does not worry about her, but instead looks toward Shang Hongchen. Shang Hongchen feels somewhat uncomfortable being looked at by her; after a brief eye contact, he quickly lowers his head, not daring to continue gazing at the grandmother.
Long Zetian said, "Hongchen, you must not have any thoughts; the Flying Immortal Sect is not a place you can go, and that woman is not someone you can contact. It's best not to act smart and go see her, otherwise you will regret it for life."
Shang Hongxue is not worried; as for this sister Shang Hongchen, Grandmother is actually concerned. The words just spoken by the Ten-Mile Fragrance Immortal, Shang Hongxue does not take them to heart, but Shang Hongchen is different—she seems to have been moved. All of this, Grandmother Long Zetian saw in her eyes, so she naturally wants to give a warning, lest this woman act on her own and provoke the Ten-Mile Fragrance Immortal.
No one from the Flying Immortal Sect can be provoked; no matter who, do not lightly provoke them. Once entangled by them, trying to shake them off is neither easy nor simple; one could lose their life at any moment.
Although Grandmother Long Zetian does not particularly like this woman Shang Hongchen, after all she is one of Chen Chuyang's wives, so a reminder must still be given—for Chen Chuyang's sake and to prevent Shang Hongxue from being hurt.
"Grandmother, I understand," Shang Hongchen replied softly, but she did not dare to raise her head to look into Long Zetian's eyes.
Shang Hongxue looked at Shang Hongchen and naturally understood why the grandmother had singled her out; she quickly urged, "Shang Hongchen, you must not act recklessly—that woman, the Ten-Mile Fragrance Immortal, is not someone you can provoke. If you want to go to Tianwai, let your husband take you; absolutely do not think too much."
Shang Hongchen nodded: "I know, I'm not stupid—how could I possibly go look for the Ten-Mile Fragrance Immortal?"
Hearing this, Shang Hongxue felt uneasy; she knew this sister too well—her saying that was just lip service, in fact she must have been moved.
"Shang Hongchen, you had better tell me the truth—are you wanting to go find her?"
Chen Chuyang raised his eyebrows, glanced at Shang Hongchen, and thought, "This woman couldn't possibly be that stupid, could she? How could you not see the problem?"
Shang Hongchen noticed Chen Chuyang's gaze and immediately explained, "Hongxue, don't slander me—I have no such thought, nor will I, and I certainly won't go look for her alone."
Shang Hongxue stared at Shang Hongchen for a while, then coldly warned, "Shang Hongchen, you had better not go astray—that woman is not someone you can contact."
"Husband, if she dares to go out and contact the Ten-Mile Fragrance Immortal, you should directly suppress her—no need to be polite."
"No problem." Chen Chuyang nodded; if Shang Hongchen dared to do that, he wouldn't mind suppressing her for ten or eight years, letting her reflect properly—otherwise, this woman truly does not understand the seriousness of the matter.
Shang Hongchen anxiously explained, "I really don't have that thought, husband—you can't suppress me."
Chen Chuyang said calmly, "Madam, you had better not think about leaving Longshe Shan to find her; if I discover it, you will suffer greatly."
When dealing with a disobedient woman, Chen Chuyang has many methods; he does not want this woman to bring him a heap of trouble, for in the end he would have to bear the cost—after all, she is the mother of his children, and he cannot simply ignore her.
For other matters, Chen Chuyang can turn a blind eye, but when it comes to something concerning life, there must be absolutely no mishap—this matter involves Shang Hongxue's safety and also the safety of the world; he cannot be careless.
Anyone who dares to touch this bottom line, Chen Chuyang will not show mercy.
"Husband again warns you: do not be deceived by that woman—none of her words are true; if you believe them, you will die a miserable death." Chen Chuyang warned her again, and Shang Hongchen immediately dared not move or think too much.
Grandmother Long Zetian saw this, nodded in satisfaction, and then returned to her cultivation.
However, she did not go straight to cultivate; instead she returned to her room, her eyes still fixed on Shang Hongchen—she was uneasy about this woman and needed to watch her to feel at ease.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Longshe Shan was very quiet; Shang Hongchen made no move, she did not leave or go out—clearly, she had been frightened and dared not go.
That day, Shang Hongchen sneaked into Chen Chuyang's room; after weathering the storm, she embraced Chen Chuyang and said, "Husband, when will you take me to Tianwai?"
Chen Chuyang stared fixedly at Shang Hongchen and asked, "You really want to go to Tianwai that badly?"
Shang Hongchen nodded slightly: "Indeed, I want to go find my master."
"Are you sure you just want to go find your master, and not have any other agenda?" Chen Chuyang asked.
Shang Hongchen firmly replied, "Naturally it's to find my master; my master alone in Tianwai is in great danger, I cannot rest easy about her, and without seeing her in person I cannot be at peace."
"Husband, are you hiding something from me, which is why you keep not allowing me to go to Tianwai?"
Chen Chuyang's heart skipped a beat; a woman's intuition is truly frightening, and this reveals the problem.
"No, how could there be." Chen Chuyang quickly shook his head, denying it.
"Madam, Tianwai is indeed dangerous; if you go to Tianwai and see your master, would you then come back?"
Shang Hongchen looked excitedly at Chen Chuyang, her eyes fixed on him, trying to discern something from the depths of his gaze; after a while, Shang Hongchen saw nothing.
"Husband, do you know where my master is? How is she? Is she alright? Has she been injured?" Shang Hongchen grabbed Chen Chuyang's arm and shook it, her body swaying as well, completely unaware that she was sitting on Chen Chuyang.
This gesture was very alluring.
"Of course I know; if you really must go to Tianwai to find your master, I as your husband can indeed take you there, but I want to get an answer from you: after seeing your master, would you willingly come back with me?"
Shang Hongchen's heart could never settle; even her cultivation was like that—if she saw Tianlian Zhenren, she could cultivate in peace, and that would not be impossible.
"Husband, rest assured; as long as I confirm my master is safe and sound, I will no longer worry, naturally I can stay at ease and return with you, and afterward I can guarantee diligent cultivation." Shang Hongchen promised, and seeing her master would naturally be the best.
Despite all her relatives, she worries about none of them—only her master, because she knows her parents and younger brothers are safe, whereas her master in Tianwai could face danger at any moment; if her husband could protect the master, that would naturally be best.
After all, her master is also her husband's enemy; in Tianwai, enemies fill the sky, with no friends or helpers, making every step difficult.
