The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife-Chapter 41: Three Years

To prevent Li Fanzhou from noticing anything unusual about him, Chu Xuan casually continued reading after finishing that page.

At the end of the text, Bai Xiaosheng specifically mentioned that now there are many people blinded by greed, fabricating all kinds of erotic novels with Celestial Evil Demon Venerable as the protagonist. The wording is indecent, and the plot is false, mostly made up nonsense, so be careful not to trust them easily.

Chu Xuan’s mind had actually drifted away from the book, but upon catching sight of this sentence, he was irritated yet amused by Bai Xiaosheng’s comment.

Good lord, are you openly and secretly advertising?

Afraid that others wouldn’t know about this kind of book secretly being sold in the underground black market.

Chu Xuan had reason to suspect that Bai Xiaosheng himself had a "small account," writing many indecent books related to Celestial Evil Demon Venerable to cheat money.

...

Chu Xuan quickly finished reading the remaining demon-related materials within a day, finding nothing else that surprised him.

He finally put all the books aside and left the Cloud-Born Sea Tower.

Returning to sit on the bluestone at the rear mountain, Chu Xuan still furrowed his brows, his expression serious.

Transmigrator, transmigrator.

Although theoretically, the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable wasn’t likely the person he was searching for, because he had no intersection with Primordial Monarch Taixu, and during the three battles between the righteous and evil, Ji Mingyu didn’t participate even once.

However, Chu Xuan decided that he would gather more information about him in the future; the suspicion of him being a transmigrator made Chu Xuan curious about this senior.

...

In the days that followed, Chu Xuan focused again on absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, accelerating the repair of his Dao Body. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Yet he occasionally visited the Scripture Repository, not only to broaden his knowledge but also to look up information related to the Divine Command.

Since he wasn’t isolating himself in the rear mountain anymore, he naturally encountered other fellow sect members occasionally. To his slight surprise, regardless of age, everyone seemed to know him.

Young disciples would even greet him voluntarily, calling him "Senior Brother," with quite a friendly attitude.

This made Chu Xuan somewhat emotional; a righteous sect is indeed wonderful... Oh no, it is a sect that strictly selects disciples and has proper conduct. There were no instances of bullying, difficulties, or provocation that he encountered.

Speaking of the [World’s Four Monkeys] Divine Command, even Ji Mingyu studied it for years with his disciple but didn’t make any progress, something Chu Xuan kept in mind.

Recently, as his mood gradually lifted from a low point, he began to recall this matter again.

In the Scripture Repository, Chu Xuan learned more about the Divine Command, but it didn’t help much in unlocking this item.

As for the World’s Four Monkeys, although there is no "Journey to the West" in this world, such mythical creatures exist, as Ji Mingyu said; they could be seen only in the Ancient Primordial Era and are now long extinct.

Chu Xuan also asked his own master; Floating Cloud had researched it for a period, but still had no method, merely mentioning that if the blood essence of the World’s Four Monkeys could be found, perhaps a clever means could unlock this inheritance.

This made it even more elusive, so Chu Xuan could only temporarily put away the Divine Command, awaiting a possible future opportunity.

...

Time flew by, and three years passed swiftly.

During these three years, many events unfolded, first being that Xiao Yue, this junior sister, had quite a bit of sympathy for Chu Xuan, who had a "tragic past." She would come and chat with him during her spare moments apart from cultivation.

Besides comforting him, Xiao Yue also shared many sect gossip with Chu Xuan, seemingly joining not for cultivation, but to gather various little rumors, chatting away eagerly every time.

Gradually, the two formed a decent friendship.

It was just that Xiao Yue’s master, Xu Yuanzhi of the Celestial Derivation lineage, treated Chu Xuan as if he was a burglar, afraid he would spoil their precious "cabbage."

Chu Xuan was quite speechless about this; do I look like the type of beast?

Such a young girl, how could I possibly lay my hands on her? She’s purely considered as a sister, definitely devoid of any evil thoughts.

Speaking of the Celestial Derivation lineage, the name derives from "The Great Dao is Fifty, Celestial Derivation is Forty-Nine," symbolizing the diverse directions in their cultivation path.

The disciples of this peak do not focus solely on the Sword Dao like those on Celestial Sword Peak, nor are they proficient in Alchemy like those on Celestial Pill Peak; to put it nicely, it’s: myriad methods, endless transformations.

To put it harshly, it’s: all sorts of miscellaneous items are crammed in here.

Thus, although this lineage has quite a few disciples, their average cultivation mastery ranks lowest among the Cyan Lotus Seven Branches.

Accordingly, Xu Yuanzhi ranks lowest in generation and cultivation among the current seven real persons since his generation has dwindled, making him the most outstanding among them.

Theoretically, Xu Yuanzhi and Chu Xuan are of the same generation, so he should call the latter Junior Brother.

Notably, when Chu Xuan was previously despairing, he had considered pursuing a "mindstream" path, which was also classified under Celestial Derivation Peak, due to the scarce number of practitioners.

The only one who achieved some results was one of Xu Yuanzhi’s martial uncles.

In his early years, he too followed the orthodox cultivation path, later stuck at the Sixth Realm, unable to progress. Only then did he devote his full effort to enhancing his mindstream cultivation.

Then he just... cough, anyway, Xiao Yue whispered to Chu Xuan that this martial uncle mainly went crazy, talking to trees every day and hugging them while laughing and crying.

This made Chu Xuan sigh; cultivation is difficult indeed, yearning to comprehend the Dao and ascend to immortality is even harder. It was foolish of me to have oversimplified things back then.

After he "went crazy," this senior changed his Daoist name to [Doesn’t Understand], he was grouped alongside Chu Xuan, Jiang Yiyi, and Li Xingchuan as one of the four oddities of Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.

Honestly, Chu Xuan was quite dumbfounded; were it not for the junior sister informing on him, he wouldn’t know the young disciples privately lumped him together with the other three oddballs.

Good grief, didn’t dare say it to my face, huh? Just you wait for how I deal with you later.

After gaining her freedom, Jiang Yiyi had been thriving these years too, causing chaos, and turning the usually peaceful and quiet Daoist Palace lively.

She initially promised Floating Cloud and Chu Xuan that she wouldn’t go around saying nonsense after leaving.

However, Jiang Yiyi managed to hold back for less than three days before revealing her true nature, going around telling people she was a fairy descended to the mortal world and was the ancestor of the palace attendees.

Naturally, no one believed her "nonsense," with many disciples lamenting that they said earlier the newly accepted one finally cured her hysteria and could be released, yet now it seems the same.

Initially, out of sympathy and the need to care for newcomers, everyone attempted to correct her mistaken beliefs.

Eventually, after realizing Jiang Yiyi’s "condition was severe" and didn’t heed advice, everyone gave up, resorting to casual dealing, as long as she didn’t disturb them.

Jiang Yiyi, eager to boast before the younger generations, couldn’t bear such a setback, so she occasionally sought Chu Xuan to complain, which also left him quite speechless.

Chu Xuan had to send her to the elders to complain, for a simple reason: telling me is of no use, as I’m not in charge.
