Chapter 375: You, I

"Chuyang, my worthy son‑in‑law, you really are hiding here."

At the edge of the fish pond, Chen Chuyang was fishing in a corner, using the fruit trees to conceal his figure; both sight and Spiritual Sense could not detect him. The fruit trees and Formation on Longshe Shan also possess the ability to block Spiritual Sense. Chen Chuyang did this on purpose, refusing to let anyone sweep Longshe Shan with Spiritual Sense, forcing them to rely on naked eyes.

Except for Chen Chuyang, everyone else's Spiritual Sense became essentially useless upon reaching Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang stood up, laughing as he invited his father‑in‑law to sit down, handed him a fishing rod, and they fished together.

Shang Yingnian was not shy either; he sat beside Chen Chuyang and fished together.

"Chuyang, my worthy son‑in‑law, aren't you going to check on those two? If they start fighting, wouldn't that—"

Chen Chuyang waved his hand, indifferent, and said, "Let them fight. Hongxue never loses, and fighting makes it better. They'll eventually clash, and having them fight here is even better."

Sisters fighting is perfectly normal; they each need to prove they're right, and when words fail, only violence can settle it, fitting their personalities. Chen Chuyang had long anticipated this, and his father‑in‑law Shang Yingnian likewise warned him in advance.

The two exchanged a glance and a helpless smile; at a moment like this, why not pretend they saw nothing, heard nothing, knew nothing, and just focus on fishing?

Let the sisters settle their battle themselves—that's Chen Chuyang's view. If he intervenes, the nature changes; after fighting, they remain sisters, perhaps even closer. If he steps in, things would become a mess inside and out.

Shang Yingnian thought the same: a daughter's matters are for the daughter to resolve herself.

Thus, Chen Chuyang and Shang Yingnian discussed and chatted together.

"You trust that Hongxue girl so much? Hongchen's cultivation isn't weak; after joining the Heavenly Heart Sect her strength skyrocketed, and she has now reached the Fifth Transforming Qi Heaven. That Hongxue girl will suffer."

The Fifth Transforming Qi Heaven quickly leads to True Gang, then to Condensing Core.

Within three years she could achieve this step, perhaps even faster.

With the Heavenly Heart Sect's support, her innate talent and cultivation speed will surely be faster.

Soon, the Shang Clan will possess a second Condensing Core; though still young, the future looks promising.

That is the crux, and why he first killed Fang Yue and then annihilated the Fang family. Once Fang Yue gains strong backing from the Heavenly Heart Sect, her cultivation will rise swiftly; if she surpasses Shang Hongchen and crushes the Shang Clan, they will face retaliation.

Shang Yingnian certainly doesn't want that to happen; killing you before you have fully risen would make an unripe genius no different from a waste.

"Hongxue's cultivation isn't lacking either."

Shang Hongxue has already reached the Third Transforming Qi Heaven; her talent is even more terrifying, even defying the heavens.

Cultivation is not comparable to an ordinary body; only after surpassing can one truly advance. With such talent and cultivation speed, it is Chen Chuyang who restrains her progress, keeping her at the Third Transforming Qi Heaven; otherwise she would be far beyond that realm.

Her combat power is more than that; against Shang Hongchen she would not be at a loss.

That girl isn't just idly staying by his side; they have more than just romance to occupy them.

Moreover, Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue practice dual cultivation, which greatly benefits Shang Hongxue; her True Qi content has multiplied many times, surpassing Shang Hongchen's Fifth Transforming Qi Heaven in sheer True Qi.

Bang.

Sure enough, the two started fighting.

Chen Chuyang glanced at his father‑in‑law, and Shang Yingnian was also watching him.

Both grimaced and shook their heads; Shang Yingnian said, "Did you see? I told you they'd definitely fight, sigh."

A father knows his daughter best.

Shang Yingnian had foreseen that once his daughter started fighting, she wouldn't easily back down.

Hongchen is fine in all other respects, but she's overly proud; she won't take others' opinions, and only through battle can she be subdued and realize her own problems.

These years, I've spoiled her.

Shang Yingnian thought his daughter would change after joining the Heavenly Heart Sect, but it seems she hasn't changed much, still the same.

He said nothing about it; her nature is hard to change, and after becoming stronger she might become even more so.

The eldest daughter, a pure‑heart idealist, believes only she is right; others are not correct.

Because of this, Shang Yingnian had a headache for a long time.

You can see it: Hongxue is gentle, Hongchen is proud.

Chen Chuyang had long seen that Shang Hongxue has none of Shang Hongchen's temperament or pride; this is the main reason Chen Chuyang likes her.

After living together, Shang Hongxue remained the same, unchanged. She is very interested in herb cultivation and has some talent; the spirit‑herb planting on Longshe Shan can be safely entrusted to her, and by combining theory with practice her knowledge of planting improves rapidly.

Both combatants have some thoughts inside.

Shang Hongchen looked at her younger sister; that sword technique shocked her.

The "Blue Sparrow Sword Technique" each move is as light as a blue sparrow.

While fighting, Shang Hongchen realized something was off; her sister fought more bravely.

The sword technique kept improving; her strength and cultivation were not those of a beginner.

They were at the Transforming Qi stage.

Just like her, at the Transforming Qi realm.

"Your cultivation?"

Shang Hongxue giggled as she repelled her elder sister, saying, "Third Transforming Qi Heaven—surprised? delighted?"

"Shang Hongchen, don't think only you have advanced; I, Shang Hongxue, am not weak either; I'm not afraid of you."

Pointing her sword at Shang Hongchen, Shang Hongxue had held her breath for a long time; previously she was constantly mocked by her elder sister, and now she could finally be assertive.

She mocked her own sister to let her know that Shang Hongxue is also a genius, not the useless little sister she sees.

And Chuyang's brother's ability is the best in the world.

It's not that the elder sister can mock casually; anyone who dares mock Chuyang's brother, Shang Hongxue will not give them a good look, even if that person is her own sister.

Only Chuyang's brother can be mocked by her; others cannot.

It's just the Fifth Transforming Qi Heaven; today I must defeat you.

I will show you that the Heavenly Heart Sect is not like my Chuyang brother.

The long sword thrust forward, her figure like a blue sparrow, drifting beside Shang Hongchen.

Shang Hongchen dared not be careless; she unleashed all her strength, knowing that if she didn't give her all and lost, it would be truly humiliating.

Calm as she was, she quickly understood the situation and had to give her all in battle.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Nongqian watched this battle, worried sick.

"Hongxue sister, you you can defeat her?"

Regarding the two sisters, Zhang Nongqian knows everything; she naturally hopes Shang Hongxue can defeat Shang Hongchen, after which she will truly rise and prove her master's might and strength, something the Heavenly Heart Sect cannot compare to.

Shang Hongchen always mocks the master and Hongxue sister; that's also why Zhang Nongqian refuses to support her.

Hongxue sister, you must defeat her, let her taste the flavor of defeat.

Beside, Liu Yuer, hearing this, looked at Shang Hongxue's back and muttered to herself: 'It's possible, Hongxue can do it.'

She definitely can.
