Chapter 412: Chen Churan: The humiliation she once dealt has come back to her

Behind Ming Jianzi stood another person.

The person Chen Chuyang knew very well, his sister Chen Churan who had a slight mental issue, had come again.

This time, accompanying Ming Jianzi, it seemed the Spirit Sword Sect had prepared in advance, starting to play the emotion card; upon his sister's arrival, Chen Chuyang was somewhat surprised.

He waved, calling Shang Hongxue over, but Shang Hongxue remained wary of Chen Chuyang, shaking her head and refusing to come; she did not want to be caught by Chen Chuyang, nor become a spectacle for others.

"Come over, my sister has arrived, she's just down the mountain."

Shang Hongxue blinked: "Your sister? Chen Churan? She wasn't supposed to be training at the Spirit Sword Sect? Don't lie to me; you're definitely trying to lure me over so you can bully me."

Shang Hongxue, who never fell for such tricks, had suffered this kind of loss many times; this time she would not be taken in.

Chuyang would do anything to bully her.

"Little girl, this time it's true; she's right down the mountain—go greet her."

Shang Hongxue blinked, full of doubt; seeing that Chen Chuyang didn't look like he was lying, she finally asked, "Did she really come?"

"Right, why would I lie to you? I'm waiting down the mountain—you said you missed her, didn't you? This is a good chance; you should perform well—maybe… she'll accept you as her sister-in-law, and then you'll have another backer."

Upon hearing this, Shang Hongxue thought it feasible.

A backer—no one ever has too many; with one more backer, Chuyang wouldn't dare bully her or act recklessly in the future.

Everyone from the Chen Clan would become her backer; thereafter she could act as she pleased within the Chen Clan.

Thinking this through, Shang Hongxue bounced down the mountain to greet Chen Churan; as a sister-in-law, she naturally ought to receive her warmly, make her like her, so she would stand on her side, and later they could jointly deal with Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang watched Shang Hongxue's happy expression, smiling and shaking his head: "This girl is getting smarter and harder to fool."

His hands were itching; the little girl had become clever and wouldn't let him bully her.

If you don't pinch her, how will the little girl grow up?

The little girl became increasingly lovely and her figure gradually improved, all thanks to him; without his help, Shang Hongxue would still be the same little girl as before.

Down the mountain.

Shang Hongxue saw Chen Churan, and also saw the person beside her.

She glanced at them, didn't recognize them, had never seen them before.

She paid no mind, instead walking straight up to Chen Churan and smiling: "Churan has come; hurry up the mountain—your elder brother has been waiting for you a long time."

Chen Churan obediently called out, "Sister-in-law."

"Eh."

Shang Hongxue nodded happily, her smile rich; hearing that title of sister-in-law made the trip worthwhile.

This showed that Chen Churan in her heart accepted her as sister-in-law.

She stepped forward, took Chen Churan's hand, and affectionately said: "Churan, during the time you were away, your brother has missed you……"

While speaking, she pulled them up the mountain.

All she said was how much Chen Chuyang missed her, speaking many kind words.

Chen Churan expressed doubt about this, but she didn't raise it to his face or expose it; she knew her second brother well—he was not the type to lament spring and autumn, nor the type to miss her.

With this time, he'd be better off accompanying his sister-in-law to make babies.

Still, she listened, not refuting, not speaking, acting as a qualified listener.

Behind them, Ming Jianzi lagged three steps, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

The scenery of Longshe Shan amazed and shocked him.

All along the way were spiritual medicines, various kinds, none of them ordinary.

There were also those spiritual medicines covered up; just the medicinal fragrance, one breath, caused his cultivation to waver.

Upon arriving where Chen Chuyang was, Ming Jianzi saw him, clasped his hands, and bowed.

"Ming Jianzi pays respects to his senior."

Calling him a fellow Daoist would be inappropriate; Chen Chuyang had saved his life.

Calling him by name would be impolite; he and Chen Chuyang were not familiar enough to do so.

He could only address him as senior; that title was something he had pondered over on the road before finally deciding.

Before descending the mountain, his master had warned him to behave well, not to be impulsive, to show a little respect.

One sentence was enough to lower his stance; Chen Chuyang was not like those ordinary clans that one needed to look up to.

Even if his master hadn't said so, Ming Jianzi would not dare act presumptuously; facing a strong one, his heart held only respect.

Chen Chuyang smiled, nodded slightly, raised his hand: "Rise."

In his heart, he was satisfied with Ming Jianzi's attitude; this person was quite good.

Chen Churan looked doubtfully at her senior brother, then at Chen Chuyang, helplessly clasped her hands and bowed: "Churan greets her second brother and sister-in-law."

What made her uncomfortable was that her second brother said nothing, didn't let her rise, seemingly leaving her hanging.

After waiting a long time, Chen Churan still hadn't heard a word; Shang Hongxue walked over to Chen Chuyang's side, knowing full well her husband's intention—to tease Chen Churan a bit and give her a lesson.

A show of force upon dismounting.

"Cough, cough, Chuyang brother, Chen Churan being able to come to Longshe Shan is no small feat, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Churan felt grateful in her heart; all those times she called "sister-in-law" were not in vain—the effect has arrived.

Chen Chuyang naturally knew the content of their conversation.

Regarding their warming feelings, Chen Chuyang smiled and said, "Rise."

"You're not training properly at the Spirit Sword Sect; why have you come down the mountain?"

"Your cultivation is too weak; down the mountain is dangerous, there's nothing to do—don't go down lightly."

Chen Chuyang rebuked her to her face, returning her earlier words about him unchanged.

Chen Churan lifted her head, looking at her second brother in astonishment; at this moment she felt a bit dazed.

These words—why do they seem somewhat familiar?

Isn't this what she said to her second older brother?

"I..."

Chen Chuyang immediately spoke up, not giving her a chance to speak.

"You haven't even formed a golden core; with your cultivation, going down the mountain will only end in death. Wait until you've formed a golden core before going down the mountain."

"You should really study Ming Jianzi well on this."

Ming Jianzi was flattered and startled, yet he didn't dare to answer.

He also didn't dare to speak.

Chen Churan stared at her second older brother, feeling wronged, holding back her tears.

"Second older brother, I want to challenge you."

Unable to hold back her anger, she finally let out a shout.

Ming Jianzi turned and quickly used his gaze to stop his junior sister.

"Junior sister, are you crazy? Do you know how strong your second older brother is? To deal with your senior brother, a single finger is enough."

"You can't even beat a single finger of your senior brother; where do you get the courage to challenge Senior Chen Chuyang?"

Chen Chuyang was amused upon hearing that.

"You?"

"Just you?"

"Just with you?"

"Hehehe."

The mocking laughter echoed across Longshe Shan, and Chen Chuyang said disdainfully, "Little sister, it's not that I look down on you; with your cultivation, in front of me, you're not even comparable to an ant."

"Are you sure you want to challenge me?"
