Chen An took some time to understand and comprehend the situation.

Chen An obediently followed the five people from the Law Enforcement Hall and left to cooperate with the Law Enforcement Hall’s investigation.

However, after he boarded the Law Enforcement Hall’s small flying boat and flew for a while, he realized that the direction they were heading was not towards the Enforcement Hall at all. Instead, it was towards the Heaven and Earth Palace where the Sect Leader and Holy Maiden were.

He was puzzled and questioned,

“Deacon Dai, didn’t you say that 1 would cooperate with the Law Enforcement Hall’s investigation? Why are we going to the Heaven and Earth Palace?”

“It’s like this, Deacon Chen. The Sect Master specifically asked us to send you to her cave abode for this cooperation investigation. As for how it’s to be done, we’re not too sure.”

Deacon Dai’s voice was still polite.

“Is that so?”

Chen An was only a little puzzled and did not feel too conflicted. Hence, he did not probe further.

In any case, he was already invincible in the mountains and seas. He was not afraid of anything.

Whether it was the Sect Master or the Great Elder, he did not care about them. He could kill them with a casual look.

A moment later.

The flying ship arrived at the Heaven and Earth Palace.

Chen An followed Deacon Dai to Xiao Qingyue’s cave abode and stopped in front of it. He did not enter directly.

“Deacon Chen, the Sect Master said that you can enter on your own after bringing you here. We won’t disturb you anymore.”

After saying this, Deacon Dai left with the four disciples in his team.

Chen An ignored them and walked into Xiao Qingyue’s cave abode.

His divine consciousness sensed that Xiao Qingyue was sitting in the hall, so he walked over unhurriedly.

Not long after, he saw Xiao Qingyue at a tea table.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyue was not wearing a dignified court dress like usual. Instead, she was wearing a plain white dress that looked very homely.

She did not have any jewelry on her at all, giving off a simple and down-to-earth feeling.

However, this attire did not reduce the might of the Sect Master on her. She still had an oppressive aura.

If Chen An was still at the Golden Core cultivation level when he first joined the Heaven Earth Sect, he would most likely be suppressed by the invisible pressure on Xiao Qingyue’s body.Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovᴇlꜰɪre.ɴet

If it was serious, he might even be suffocated by the pressure.

However, things were different now.

Chen An was now a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator who stood at the peak of the Mountain Sea Region.

The pressure of a mere late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator was useless to him.

Therefore, he did not have much respect for Xiao Qingyue. He directly asked indifferently,

“May I know why Sect Master is looking for me?”

He did not believe that he would be targeted by Xiao Qingyue just because he sold some artifacts to the Weapon Forgery and exchanged for some spirit stones.

There must be some deeper and unknown reason.

Seeing that Chen An could still speak so calmly, Xiao Qingyue moved her willowy eyebrows calmly and felt surprised.

‘What is this?’

‘He’s just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. How can he withstand the pressure of the Nascent Soul realm that I deliberately released?’

‘Shouldn’t his legs be weak and his face pale?’

Xiao Qingyue was puzzled. She could not figure out why her show of strength had failed.

However, now was not the time to dwell on this.

She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of the warm flower tea. During this period, she did not even look up. She said coldly,

“Deacon Chen, sit down and have a cup of tea. We’ll talk slowly.”

‘About what?’

‘Would she die if she didn’t become a riddler?’

Although Chen An complained, he still walked to the opposite side of Xiao Qingyue and sat down.

He picked up the teapot in front of him without restraint. At the same time, he took a teacup and silently poured himself a cup of warm flower tea.

He took a sip. The taste was not bad. Other than the fragrance of the tea, there was also an inexplicable young girl’s fragrance.

Moreover, it had the effect of refreshing the mind and nurturing divine consciousness.

It could only be said that as expected of the Sect Master of the Heaven Earth Sect, there were indeed many good things.

He could even enjoy tea so much.

Chen An thought that since Xiao Qingyue could drink such tea, then as her disciple, Ning Xian’er must have it too. When he had the chance one day, he had to get some of this tea from Ning Xian’er and bring it home for his wives and daughters to try.

Looking at Chen An pouring tea and drinking tea in one go, Xiao Qingyue was stunned. Clearly, she did not expect him to be so impudent.

After a moment of reaction, she frowned slightly and said unhappily,

“Deacon Chen, the teacup you’re drinking is something that the Holy Maiden just used not long ago. She hasn’t had the time to wash it yet. Can you please change to another cup?”

Was this the teacup that Ning Xian’er had just drunk?

Chen An was enlightened when he heard this. He thought to himself, No wonder I always felt a young girl’s fragrance when I drank it just now. It turned out to be the fragrance on Ning Xian’er’s lips.

Just the lingering fragrance of her lips on the teacup was already so wonderful. He wondered how it would feel when he really kissed her cherry lips.

It would definitely be very sweet, right?

Chen An’s thoughts were a little floating. They all flew to Ning Xian’er’s side, and his mind was filled with Ning Xian’er’s red and tender cherry lips.

Seeing that Chen An did not reply to her and was instead in a daze with a teacup in his hand, Xiao Qingyue’s originally calm mood immediately fluctuated and she felt a little angry.

She completely turned cold and said with a dark expression,

“Alchemist Chen, I took a look at the account book sent by the Qi Refining Hall elder last night.”

“Then, 1 realized that you suddenly sold a large number of artifacts some time ago in exchange for a huge number of high-grade spirit stones.”

“Can you please explain where you got so many artifacts and why you exchanged them for so many spirit stones?”

“Your abnormal actions will easily make people suspect that you’re a spy planted by the Xuanhuang Sect.”

As she said this last sentence, Xiao Qingyue raised her phoenix eyes elegantly and stared straight into Chen An’s eyes. She was extremely oppressive.

Chen An snapped back to his senses and ignored Xiao Qingyue’s oppression. He said calmly,

“Sect Master, you’re wrong. If 1 was a spy, there was no need for me to develop an antidote to resolve the water poisoning incident back then.”

These words hit the nail on the head, directly clearing the suspicion that he was a spy.

Xiao Qingyue smiled and took another sip of the warm flower tea. Her voice clearly carried a smile, but it was bone-chilling.

“Of course I know that Deacon Chen is not a spy, but I have a way to turn you into a spy and lock you in the dungeon of the Law Enforcement Hall so that you will never see the light of day.”

“Sect Master, what do you mean?”

Chen An frowned slightly. He did not understand what was wrong with Xiao Qingyue. Why would she say such a thing for no reason?

He wondered if it was because he had offended her when he refused to accept the position of an Elder of the Alchemy Hall and join her camp. She had hated him until now. Then, she caught him red-handed and took revenge on him.

Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Qingyue spoke again.

She didn’t beat around the bush and deliberately said something profound to make people guess. Instead, she said simply and crudely,

“Deacon Chen, I’ve already warned you not to have any inappropriate thoughts about the Holy Maiden just because you’re a little handsome.”

“I remember you tacitly agreeing at the time.”

“However, yesterday, you went back on your word and spent more than two hours alone with the Holy Maiden. What are you trying to do?”

“I hope you can understand your identity. You’re just a Foundation Establishment ant with some alchemy abilities and handsome looks. You’re not worthy of the high and mighty Holy Maiden at all. Don’t covet what is out of your league.”

“Otherwise, what 1 said just now was not a joke.”

“Even if you’ve contributed to resolving the water source poisoning incident previously, I’ll still throw you into the dungeon of the Law Enforcement Hall and imprison you. I’ll let your wives and children part ways and never see the light of day again!”

When Xiao Qingyue finished her last sentence, the atmosphere in the entire cave abode instantly changed.

From the initial silence and peace, it suddenly became bone-chilling and carried a trace of killing intent.

The cold was released by Xiao Qingyue.

That faint killing intent came from Chen An’s body..
