Chapter 881: Talks About Tianwai

The two women returned to Longshe Shan, apparently having received a message, and also apparently coming for Chen Chuyang.

Regardless of the purpose, Chen Chuyang let them enter Longshe Shan; the two women were old acquaintances, very familiar with the mountain's environment, and headed straight for Chen Chuyang's location, arriving quickly before him.

Seeing Shang Hongxue beside her, Qi Ruohua, rarely, gave a smile and nodded; Jing Yuheng did the same, unusually offering her a good expression—one should know that in their eyes, even a Strong One might not receive a good look.

Shang Hongxue naturally smiled as she welcomed the two, her demeanor and smile not at all like she had seen an enemy.

She acted as if they were sisters, holding Qi Ruohua's hand and chatting about everything; that posture left Chen Chuyang baffled, not understanding when the two had become so close—he recalled the two women had not reached that level yet. Still, it was convenient, sparing Chen Chuyang the worry of not knowing how to handle their relationship.

Shang Hongxue assumed a big‑sister demeanor, entertaining the two women, with no room for complaint in her attitude.

Third uncle Chen Shen also saw Qi Ruohua's party arrive; he did not go up the mountain, instead standing at the foot watching the scene. As for Liu Yuer, she was hidden in a room, rarely leaving, caring for a child, taking a rare rest.

"Tsk tsk, Chuyang this kid is something—he actually managed to make the two get along so well; this move is truly impressive."

"Even I, his third uncle, couldn't do this; that girl Shang Hongxue seems easy to talk to, but if she truly dislikes someone, she won't give a good look. Qi Ruohua is the same, yet the two of them don't blush; instead they're very intimate."

"Indeed, that kid Chuyang needs no concern from his third uncle; in every aspect he's that outstanding."

In this, third uncle Chen Shen greatly admires Chen Chuyang's abilities—not only his talent is formidable, but also his character is beyond praise.

Look at his own elder brother, then at this kid; they are completely different levels.

"Elder brother needs to learn from him in this regard; it's truly necessary."

His own elder brother can't even handle his sister‑in‑law; after so long, the senior sister‑in‑law remains fuming.

Look at Chuyang's nephew—how impressive; the two women get along very well.

Even three women—Jing Yuheng isn't simple either; it looks like she'll soon become Chuyang's nephew's woman. This, third uncle Chen Shen can see at a glance; after years of navigating the love field, Chen Shen's insight into women is very clear.

An unmistakable gaze, love that cannot be hidden.

If it weren't for Shang Hongxue and Qi Ruohua being present, Jing Yuheng might have acted outright.

And the Shang Hongchen on the mountain, that woman isn't simple either; perhaps she'll also be taken by Chuyang's nephew.

"It seems the most outstanding of our Chen Clan is still this kid Chuyang; in every respect, he draws praise."

He himself wouldn't dare seek so many women; one Liu Yuer is enough—no other woman, however outstanding, can compare to Liu Yuer alone.

Liu Yuer stepped out, saw Chen Shen staring at the mountain, came to his side, and asked puzzled, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Shh." Third uncle Chen Shen made a shushing gesture, whispering, "Qi Ruohua has arrived, bringing Jing Yuheng; they're all up there."

Liu Yuer glanced and thought there was nothing remarkable.

"It's not some secret thing; if you want to see, you can go up and look. What's the point of sneaking around?"

"Am I not afraid that Chuyang's nephew will get angry?"

Liu Yuer gave Chen Shen a withering look, saying irritably, "You know best—go back quickly; this isn't something you should meddle in."

After speaking, Chen Shen was led back to his room; Liu Yuer wouldn't let him meddle in these matters, nor let him be curious.

Regarding any matter about Chen Chuyang, just know it; don't watch the drama, don't be curious, and certainly don't crowd over.

If they provoke anyone's anger, it's beyond what they can bear.

The best approach is to do nothing, act as if unaware, and protect oneself wisely.

Chen Chuyang will handle these matters; Liu Yuer naturally wants Chen Shen to know that, and not let him act recklessly.

On the other side, Tianlian Zhenren glanced at his disciple, who was staring at Qi Ruohua with a displeased face.

Tianlian Zhenren sighed, "Hongchen, do you have an objection?"

"No, no." Shang Hongchen hurriedly replied.

"This is their matter; you'd better not interfere," Tianlian Zhenren warned.

She is nothing; not Chen Chuyang's woman, so she has no right to meddle in his affairs.

On this point, Tianlian Zhenren must warn his disciple.

Don't meddle in others' affairs; you can live well. If you do meddle, humph.

"I understand, Master."

"You'd better be clear about your status. Both you and I are merely staying on Longshe Shan, granted by Chen Chuyang because of your sister's favor. As for you, stay quietly and meddle with nothing; otherwise, we'll have nowhere to hide."

"I…" Shang Hongchen clenched his teeth, unable to believe the master's words.

He lifted his head, staring at the master.

Tianlian Zhenren warned, "You must know your status; you must not interfere in matters that aren't yours."

"Yes, Master." Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth and nodded; she knew she was nothing, thus naturally unable to meddle in Chen Chuyang's affairs.

The master‑disciple conversation reached Chen Chuyang's ears; he naturally knew it but simply paid no mind.

In response, Chen Chuyang entertained Qi Ruohua with tea and fruit, then got straight to the point.

"You're coming to see me at this hour—has something happened in the Wanggong?"

Qi Ruohua shook her head: "The Wanggong is fine, the dynasty inside and out is fine, already on the right track. After the Heavenly Heart Sect was dealt with, the other sects are very compliant, absorbing the Heavenly Heart Sect's territories. In the next ten years, there won't be much movement."

"This time I came to see you mainly to ask about your plan—when will you leave? When will you go to Tianwai?"

Chen Chuyang looked at Qi Ruohua and smiled: "In the short term, I won't leave. You probably know my plan with the White Deer King; at that time, they'll let the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King test first, to see the outcome. If the enemy is too powerful, we'll wait a while before figuring out how to go to Tianwai."

"Our strength is still lacking; compared to the Strong Ones of Tianwai, we're far behind."

"In this world, we can fear no enemy, but in Tianwai, it's a different story."

Qi Ruohua nodded, understanding Chen Chuyang's meaning and aware of Tianwai's might.

Her impression of Tianwai remains as before; although many Tianwai Strong Ones have been slain by Chen Chuyang, she will not underestimate them because of that.
