Chapter 982: Zhuge Ruolan Returns to Longshe Shan

Three days later.

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang saw Zhuge Ruolan; this woman had come back again, and the first thing she did was to meet Shang Hongxue, not Chen Chuyang. At that time, Chen Chuyang was still in closed-door cultivation, and did not notice her return.

Shang Hongxue was happy that Zhuge Ruolan had returned, and kept chatting with her. Zhuge Ruolan, meanwhile, liked Qinglian very much, often holding and playing with him. Shang Hongxue was happy to have someone help her with the child, feeling completely relieved, and let Zhuge Ruolan mess around.

After Chen Chuyang emerged from seclusion, he saw Zhuge Ruolan holding Qinglian, froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Zhuge Ruolan, when did you return?"

Zhuge Ruolan's body trembled, she turned around, saw Chen Chuyang, her body stiffened slightly, she tightly held Chen Qinglian, her eyes looked at Chen Chuyang with complexity, and the room instantly became awkward.

Shang Hongxue, seeing this, said: "Younger sister Ruolan has been back for three days, and you only just found out. These three days, thanks to Younger sister Ruolan helping me look after Qinglian, I've had a few days of ease. Husband, Younger sister Ruolan really likes children."

With a double meaning, Zhuge Ruolan lowered her head, not daring to meet Chen Chuyang's gaze.

Over these three days, the two talked a lot, and also brought up that previous topic; Zhuge Ruolan was still shy.

Throughout, it was Shang Hongxue who had the final say; regarding this, she did not object, merely waiting for Chen Chuyang's reaction.

"Really?" Chen Chuyang looked at Zhuge Ruolan holding the child, reluctant to let go; Qinglian seemed to have accepted her, not fussing, nor crying.

"Liking children is good; if you like them, then just have a few."

The speaker meant nothing, but the listener took it to heart; Zhuge Ruolan's face instantly flushed.

Holding Qinglian, she hurriedly left the room, not daring to linger; Chen Chuyang, seeing this, curled the corners of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk, she still knows how to be shy."

Shang Hongxue walked up to Chen Chuyang's side, her hand easily went to his waist, and she twisted hard.

Pain shot in; Chen Chuyang immediately grabbed the girl's hand, saying, "Girl, can you be gentler?"

"Husband, Younger sister Ruolan is, after all, an unmarried young lady; how could you say such things?"

"Have you long had an eye on Younger sister Ruolan?"

Chen Chuyang protested, saying: "Madam, I am wronged; I dare not have any other thoughts; my heart is only yours."

Going with the flow, he embraced his wife.

Shang Hongxue didn't buy it, warning: "You'd better not talk nonsense; regarding Younger sister Ruolan, I'm almost done settling things, and then you'll benefit."

"Before that, you'd better not mess around; did you hear that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuyang tightly hugged his wife; indeed, she was the wife he loved most.

"Husband's good wife, you truly are a good wife for husband; gaining such a wife, what more could a husband seek?"

Shang Hongxue gave Chen Chuyang a look, knowing his little thoughts, pushed him away, and said: "I know exactly what you're thinking; Younger sister Ruolan has already agreed; you, on the other hand, had better pay attention."

"Good, good, husband knows." Chen Chuyang said with a smile: "Husband's charm is indeed formidable."

The narcissistic person began to fall into a fantasy of blind self-confidence.

Shang Hongxue gave him another look, annoyed, saying: "Enough, stop being narcissistic; this time Younger sister Ruolan came back to find you; wait a moment while I take Qinglian away, and you two can talk slowly."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shang Hongxue pinched Chen Chuyang's waist again, then satisfied, she left.

Not long after, she returned holding Qinglian, intending to lull him to sleep.

Chen Chuyang then went out, saw Zhuge Ruolan sitting uneasily in the courtyard, walked up to her, and sat down.

"Sit down, don't be nervous; I'm not a man-eating tiger, I won't eat you."

Zhuge Ruolan's face was still slightly red; hearing this, she obediently sat down.

She gathered her courage and said: "Yin Gui Zhenren is going to Tianwai; do you know?"

"I know; he told me he wants to go to Tianwai together with the White Deer King; could it be that he's looking for you to become sect leader?"

Zhuge Ruolan nodded: "Not bad; I'm unsure, so I came back to ask for your opinion."

Being the sect leader of Yin Gui Sect is not that easy.

Once she assumes the role, for a period of time she may have to stay in Yin Gui Sect, with no chance to leave.

To control Yin Gui Sect takes time; even with Yin Gui Zhenren's help, she still needs to demonstrate her own strength.

After all, she doesn't know many people in Yin Gui Sect, and there are some surviving disciples who also need her to conquer and suppress.

Strength is supreme; this holds true everywhere.

"If you want it, take it; the position of Yin Gui Sect sect leader suits you very much, and your current strength is enough to hold it."

"If you want to go further, there are only two options: one is to leave this world, go to Tianwai to seek new opportunities and break through yourself; the other is to become the sect leader of Yin Gui Sect, control more resources, and thereby enhance yourself."

"With your current cultivation, going to Tianwai would be dangerous; it's better to stay, wait until you advance to the True Realm, then reconsider this matter."

The True Realm may seem weak, but in fact it can resolve many problems.

Especially in Tianwai, one cannot claim to have self-defense capability; at least, if you avoid provoking trouble, you can still survive.

"You mean I should stay in Yin Gui Sect and become its sect leader?"

"Yes." Chen Chuyang said: "After you become sect leader, you can control more resources; on my side, I can also give you a batch of pills to aid your cultivation; your cultivation is too low, you need to train well and improve your cultivation."

"Having hidden outside for so many years, you've also grown tired of that life."

"Actually, you could also choose to stay on Longshe Shan."

As soon as he said that, Zhuge Ruolan lifted her head, gazing at Chen Chuyang with deep feeling.

The corners of her mouth rose, her eyes holding a smile.

"Forget it; there are so many people on Longshe Shan, plus Elder Sister Hongxue and Elder Sister Hongchen are there, and your mother and they are all on Longshe Shan; if I stayed, I'd feel ill at ease."

She, on the other hand, wanted to be like Qi Ruohua—just come by occasionally.

Staying here, although it would allow her to accompany Xu Junbai nearby, she would truly feel uncomfortable.

Too restrictive.

She likes the feeling of being free and unfettered, and does not want to be confined to the small Longshe Shan.

"Whatever you like; if you want to stay, there are plenty of houses here."

If you don't like it, the Yin Gui Sect is a good choice; Li Shenghong by your side probably also has the thought of leaving; by then, there won't be many useful people around you.

Controlling the Yin Gui Sect and cultivating one's own people is especially important.

You should also think for yourself.

Chen Chuyang reached out, and without thinking, grabbed her hand; Zhuge Ruolan did not refuse.

Instead, she took hold of Chen Chuyang's hand, raised her head, gazed at Chen Chuyang with deep feeling; soon, that hand quickly separated.

I know what to do now.
