Chapter 397: 379. The Purpose of Hua Xuanyin (2/2)

379. The Purpose of Hua Xuanyin (2/2)

Hearing Hua Xuanyin's voice, Chen An could not help but feel a bit surprised.

Why would she suddenly come looking for me?

To brief me on matters after becoming a Deacon?

But she could have just summoned me over; how could she, a dignified Hall Master, come to pay a visit in person?

She does not seem like the type of leader who would lower herself to accommodate a subordinate...

Chen An was completely baffled.

Thinking this, he quickly teleported outside his Cave Abode.

Immediately coming into view was a nameless flower several meters tall growing in front of the Cave Abode, emitting waves of alluring fragrance.

No, this fragrance was not emitted by the flower.

It was emitted by Hua Xuanyin, who was on the flower.

Chen An looked up slightly at Hua Xuanyin on the flower.

She wore a green silk dress, her long black hair still coiled up with a peach blossom branch, and her bare Jade Foot rested casually on the petals.

It was clearly a very ordinary outfit, yet it held a fatal temptation for Chen An.

"Deacon Chen, a glance is fine, but if you keep staring, it is a bit impolite."

Hua Xuanyin retracted her small, exquisite Jade Foot, her willow-leaf brows arched slightly, and she reminded him in a somewhat cold tone.

Upon hearing this, Chen An did not dare to look more and hurriedly moved his gaze away from Hua Xuanyin's Jade Foot.

After steadying his mood, he looked at Hua Xuanyin and asked:

"I wonder if the Hall Master has come in person because there is some task to assign?"

"Nothing much, I just purely wanted to come and chat with you."

As Hua Xuanyin said this, she had already drifted down from the flower, using two peach-pink petals as shoes, and walked with light steps until she stopped in front of Chen An.

Her gaze was not on Chen An, but toward the interior of the abode behind him, her voice as calm as water:

"Deacon Chen, your direct superior has come to visit, and you just let her stand outside the house like this, without inviting her in to host her properly?"

"It was my oversight; please come in, Hall Master."

Chen An sensibly stepped aside to make way, and with a respectful but not servile gesture, invited her in.

Seeing him be so tactful, a look of satisfaction appeared on Hua Xuanyin's face.

She then began to walk with light steps, heading into the abode at a leisurely pace.

Watching her gradually receding back, Chen An also frowned slightly, unable to fathom what this Hall Master of the Hundred Flowers Hall wanted to do.

Could it be that she saw I am handsome and became interested in me?

Or is there some other reason?

Thinking this, Chen An followed behind Hua Xuanyin into the abode while using the divine ability "Insight into Heavenly Secrets" in his heart.

However, just as he used Insight into Heavenly Secrets, Hua Xuanyin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at him, and said: "Are you divining heavenly secrets about me?"

Chen An was stunned for a moment.

Insight into Heavenly Secrets was actually ineffective against Hua Xuanyin?

And she even discovered it?

Is this the power of a Quasi-Immortal King?

Thinking this, he hesitated for a moment, and ultimately chose to be honest:

"I saw that the Hall Master had suddenly come to visit my abode, and feeling somewhat uneasy in my heart, I thought to use a divine ability to divine the heavenly secrets."

"Deacon Chen is quite honest."

After saying this, Hua Xuanyin just smiled and did not dwell on the matter, quickly walking on her own to the tea table in the hall and sitting down.

Seeing this, Chen An followed closely and sat down opposite her.

"This is Xuantian Yuanhua Tea; even in the Upper Realm, it is a rare treasure. Deacon Chen, brew a pot and have a taste."

"Many thanks, Hall Master."

Chen An took the small bag of tea leaves that Hua Xuanyin had tossed over casually, opened it, poured it into the teapot, filled it with water, and then Proficiently ignited a wisp of Pill Fire to heat it.

Looking at the wisp of pure white Pill Fire at the bottom of the pot, Hua Xuanyin raised her brows in surprise and asked:

"Deacon Chen is also an Alchemist?"

"I made my fortune by alchemy in the Lower Realm and was lucky enough to become a ninth-rank Alchemist."

"Then I have picked up a treasure; if that old fellow from the Alchemy Hall finds out, I am afraid he will inevitably come to cause me trouble."

"Rest assured, Hall Master, I will not expose my identity as an Alchemist."

"There is no need for that; I am not afraid of that old thing from the Alchemy Hall. At least half of the Alchemical Material in his Alchemy Hall relies on my Hundred Flowers Hall for supply."

Hua Xuanyin said with an air of unconcern.

Chen An secretly noted her attitude toward the Alchemy Hall; once he truly takes her as a concubine in the future, wouldn't the people in the Alchemy Hall be easily manipulated?

A moment later, the tea was brewed.

Chen An took a cup and poured one for Hua Xuanyin first.

Then he took another cup and poured one for himself.

He took a light sip and immediately felt refreshed.

At the same time, it seemed he even had some epiphany about this world.

This tea is extraordinary... Chen An was shocked in his heart.

Hua Xuanyin saw the expression on his face, smiled, and asked:

"Deacon Chen, how is the taste of this Xuantian Yuanhua Tea?"

"I have never tasted such delicious tea."

Chen An blurted this out without a second thought.

Hearing this, Hua Xuanyin smiled and said:

"Deacon Chen, one shouldn't keep all the good things to oneself. Since this Xuantian Yuanhua Tea is so delicious, why don't you call out your wives and daughters so they can also have a taste of this Xuantian Yuanhua Tea?"

"Is the purpose of your visit, Hall Master, to see my wives and daughters?"

Chen An laid his cards on the table, asking the question that was currently on his mind.

Hua Xuanyin did not hide anything and said directly:

"It is exactly as you say; I have come here precisely to see your wives and daughters."

"Hall Master, I still don't quite understand."

As he said this, Chen An was thirty percent nervous and seventy percent confused; he could not figure out what Hua Xuanyin was planning and was prepared to run away with his family at any moment.

Although the probability of Hua Xuanyin harming his wives and daughters was very low, it was better to be safe than sorry; one still had to take precautions.

Seeing his aura suddenly tense up, Hua Xuanyin couldn't help but smile and say:

"Rest assured, I have no ill intentions toward your wives and daughters. I just feel that several of them possess very powerful constitutions and Bloodlines, and I was thinking of finding them a master."

"Are you trying to use my wives and daughters as a favor to give to someone else?"

Chen An caught Hua Xuanyin's meaning, and his tone became unfriendly.

Hua Xuanyin laughed: "Deacon Chen, don't use such an unpleasant word as 'give.' This is clearly something beneficial for both sides. I have carefully examined all of your wives and daughters."

"There are those with the Flower God Bloodline, a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, and one with the potential for the physical body to become sanctified."

"These are all excellent seedlings. If they can find a suitable master to guide them, their future achievements will not be lower than yours."

Seeing Chen An remain silent, she added: "The masters I am finding for them are all in the Bailing Holy Land, and they are all women, so you need not have any concerns."

Chen An thought for a moment and replied: "Hall Master, this matter is too sudden; I need time to consider it."

"That is only natural." After saying this, Hua Xuanyin took a sip of the hot tea in her cup and continued: "Therefore, Deacon Chen, you must call your wives and daughters out to drink tea now so they can learn about this matter."
