Chapter 1690: with translation of chapter title

"I thought you would stay in Tianwai, after all this place is suitable for cultivation, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth is extremely rich, it can let you quickly raise your cultivation." Shang Hongxue teased, she knew that this older sister had always wanted to surpass her, always wanted to defeat her; after being surpassed by her, Shang Hongchen could no longer surpass herself, always trying to find ways to improve herself.

As long as it is a method that can raise cultivation, she will try it once; for this, she does not mind spending several days unable to get out of bed; one must admit, that effect is indeed strong, but compared to this special physique of Cultivation, it is still far inferior; Shang Hongchen, after all, has an ordinary physique, her cultivation speed is not as good as Cultivation.

The gap between the two is great; Shang Hongxue thought she would stay in Tianwai to cultivate, so as to better tap her potential and raise her cultivation; however, Shang Hongchen did not make that choice, but instead followed them back, this is a smart person.

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Staying here to cultivate, even if the cultivation speed is fast, it still can't compare to cultivating beside my husband; which is more important, I still know clearly."

"Beside my husband, I can let him help me, constantly tapping my potential; while here, besides enduring hardship and training, what else can I do?"

Xinran Zhanglao can at most help me train for a year or a few months; after that, she also needs to cultivate, it's impossible for her to accompany me in cultivation; staying here would just be a waste, and it would also embarrass them; it's better to follow my husband back.

At least, the two sisters together won't be embarrassed; they are already an old married couple, very familiar with each other, the awkward situation has long passed; in front of Shang Hongxue, Shang Hongchen can ignore her, or not be embarrassed.

Shang Hongxue heard the words and burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I didn't expect you, Shang Hongchen, to have such high awareness; I see you, you are reluctant to leave your husband."

"Not bad, I am indeed reluctant to leave my husband." Shang Hongchen nodded; she really is reluctant.

There's nothing that cannot be admitted; the fact is just that; there's nothing that cannot be said.

Shang Hongxue heard the words, was stunned for a moment, then raised her thumb: "Shang Hongchen, your change is really great; these days, what did you encounter in Tianwai that made you change so much?"

"I haven't done anything else besides cultivating, just cultivating; I just understood it; life is like this, why cling to trivialities? Better to let go and look further ahead; isn't this what you often advise me? One should have a broad vision, not fixate on a mere patch of land."

"Hahaha, not bad, indeed it was I who said it; I just didn't expect you to comprehend it so quickly; very good, very good, the young can be taught." Shang Hongxue nodded satisfied; this older sister still has hope, her perceptiveness is high, she understood those words of mine, very good.

"Shang Hongchen, since you have understood, in name I am your half-master; so, shouldn't you call me master?" Shang Hongxue pressed her advantage, smiling as she said to Shang Hongchen.

Shang Hongchen: "……"

This younger sister is becoming more and more overbearing, even wanting me to call her master; she really is thinking too much.

She cannot shout it, cannot call out; if she really did, how would she face people afterward? She would never be able to lift her head again.

"Shang Hongchen, just shout once, would that be okay?"

"Impossible, no room for negotiation." Shang Hongchen got up, not wanting to waste words with her, fearing that she would muddledly agree and shout "master" at her, making regret impossible; she hurried back to her room, not wanting to stay with Shang Hongxue.

"Don't go." Shang Hongxue reached out, but couldn't stop her.

Shang Hongchen returned to her room, no longer paying attention to Shang Hongxue; she walked for half an hour, then Tianlian Zhenren appeared, sitting beside Shang Hongxue.

Shang Hongxue turned her head, smiling: "You heard all that? Now you can relax, right?"

"This older sister of mine is just a tsundere person; even though she knows everything, even though it doesn't matter, she still refuses to tell you herself, insisting that I speak for her; she's always like that, it's exhausting."

"You are the same; obviously you two could have a good talk, once everything is talked out, there would naturally be no estrangement, but you insist on being obstinate; I really don't know how to describe the two of you."

Shang Hongxue felt helpless; Shang Hongchen is like this, Tianlian Zhenren is also like this; these two master and disciple are purely tormenting her.

But she cannot not help; she can only try to probe their thoughts.

"Thank you." Tianlian Zhenren clasped hands in gratitude.

Shang Hongxue waved her hand: "Enough, don't say such things; you master and disciple just know how to torment me; this time I helped you, Tianlian Zhenren, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

She sat up straight, staring fixedly at Tianlian Zhenren, waiting for her to call her "older sister".

Tianlian Zhenren lowered her head, hesitated for a long time, unable to let herself shout out; really couldn't shout; after all, Shang Hongxue and she differ by one generation; she is actually the master of Shang Hongxue's older sister, so in any case she is an elder; how could she shout it out?

Shang Hongxue kept waiting; if she didn't shout, she wouldn't let her leave.

The two stalemated for a quarter hour; Tianlian Zhenren finally lost, uttering a very weak voice: "Older sister."

Shang Hongxue grimaced a smile, face full of smiles: "Good younger sister, rest assured; since you called me older sister, from now on you just say I'm covering you; without my permission, no one can bully you."

Tianlian Zhenren squeezed out an embarrassed smile, gritted her teeth: "I thank you."

"Hahaha, no need to be polite, you are my good younger sister; as an older sister, how could I let you be bullied?" Shang Hongxue patted her chest and said loudly.

This is her promise, acknowledging Tianlian Zhenren as her younger sister; Tianlian Zhenren is quite embarrassed, not wanting to continue chatting with her.

This woman really can chat the heavens to death; constantly calling her "younger sister", even though she knows she dislikes that title, she still does so; this reminds her of Shang Hongchen's feelings back then, probably not much different from her own.

"Ah." Tianlian Zhenren sighed, looking at Shang Hongxue, gritted her teeth: "You say what karma I have created, how did I get bewitched by Chen Chuyang?"

It's too late to regret; things have already happened; all this is just like that.

"Hahaha, Tianlian younger sister, you are not the first; no need to be like this; all other women have to call me older sister; compared to you, Shang Hongchen is the one who is most angry." Shang Hongxue comforted Tianlian Zhenren, not wanting her mindset to explode.

Tianlian Zhenren heard the words, thought it over, indeed so; originally the principal wife was Shang Hongchen; but she gave up; then Shang Hongxue succeeded; finally Shang Hongchen also lowered her head, becoming Chen Chuyang's woman; thus there is an order of precedence.

Shang Hongchen is even more miserable; her older sister calling her younger sister "older sister" is more painful than killing her.

"You're right; compared to Hongchen, I'm better off." Tianlian Zhenren got some comfort; her mood is not so heavy.

Shang Hongxue pointed at Xinran Zhanglao's room, saying: "Go on; I know you also miss your husband; hurry, if you're late, Xinran Zhanglao might break down."

"Huh?" Tianlian Zhenren stared at Shang Hongxue's eyes, gave a dull nod, then flew straight to Xinran Zhanglao's room.

This night was destined to be unrestful.
