Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 202 - 126: Seduction_3

Chen Yi was about to help Zhao Chengyu up,

At this very moment,

The private room's door was pushed open fiercely,

"Chengyu, it's bad! I've heard that Chen Yi has been bought over by the Tan family, what should we do, what to do?!"

It was Zhao Chengjing who had hurriedly rushed in, her face full of urgency.

But when she saw the three of them drinking merrily, her surprise was on full display.

After a while,

Once everyone had filled each other in, they finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that after Chen Yi had left, the servant of the Second Young Master of Tan Family went to the Zhao Family's pill store and announced in public that Chen Yi would be the alchemist for their Tan family from now on.

He told the Zhao Family to prepare for the handover with Chen Yi within a month,

Zhao Chengjing did not believe it at first, but after hearing the terms proposed by the Second Young Master of the Tan family, she was flabbergasted,

She had to believe it, it wasn't just Chen Yi, even she found it hard to resist such a temptation.

She had other intentions for Chen Yi, if he was taken away by the Tan family now, not only would the Zhao family suffer a great loss, but she would also feel extremely dejected,

That's why she hurriedly came to find her younger brother, who was also Chen Yi's good friend, to discuss a solution.

But here the three of them were, drinking merrily.

Moreover, Chen Yi had already told his two friends about the offer from the other side,

This made Zhao Chengjing blush from embarrassment.

"Daoist Chen, I'm sorry, I believed their words and misjudged you...."

Zhao Chengjing was both surprised and upset, and she felt extremely guilty.

She tenderly grasped Chen Yi's hand, holding back complicated tears on her beautiful face,

"Chen Yi, thank you...you..."

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Zhao Chengjing saw her younger brother and Liu Huo staring dumbfounded at this scene,

She quickly passed a message to Chen Yi:

"I'll wait for you at the shop tonight.."

Then she blushed and left, her face burning with embarrassment.

"Wow!! Brother Chen, when did this happen?!" Liu Huo shouted,

And next to him, Zhao Chengyu was equally astounded,

"Brother Chen, you and my sister...? Forget it, your matter is none of my business, but you have to think of a way to convince my uncle."

Zhao Chengyu drank a few cups of spiritual alcohol in frustration. His astonishing sister, in front of him, was showing affection towards a man,

As her younger brother, his feelings were really complicated,

If it wasn't for Chen Yi being his good friend for many years, he might have already taken action,

Now, he could only wish them well.

However, Chen Yi shook his head:

"You two are mistaken, the young lady and I only share a professional relationship, there is no such deep romantic relationship.

I am solely focused on cultivation and alchemy, and have no intention of finding a cultivation partner,

Come, let's drink!"

At this, Liu Huo and Zhao Chengyu were even more taken aback,

Even the young lady who is like the darling of the heavens, you are not willing to have a private relationship with her?

"Brother Chen, are you... not into women?"

...

Late at night, Chen Yi used the excuse of being drunk to stay at the restaurant,

Liu Huo, fearing that it would be difficult to explain why Chen Yi didn't return home, specially vacated his room for him, and he meditated in the living room all night.

On the other side,

Zhao Chengjing waited at the shop until dawn, but Chen Yi never showed up,

She then understood Chen Yi's intentions,

"Ah.."

The young lady sighed heavily and retreated to her room to meditate and rest.

It's not that Chen Yi doesn't appreciate beauty, on the contrary, he very much does.

But now is not an appropriate opportunity. The young lady is fond of him due to his past rescue of her, so naturally, she would develop some affection,

Also, over the years, Chen Yi has gradually demonstrated his talent for alchemy, especially the high-grade pill that he helped Yu Huanhuan refine a few months ago,

This is the talent of an upcoming top-grade alchemist,

Such talent is worth Zhao Chengjing's efforts to pull Chen Yi closer to the Zhao family,

Furthermore, the Second Young Master of Tan Family had offered such a large reward. Chen Yi remained unmoved,

Zhao Chengjing thought that if she remained indifferent, it would be difficult to ensure that Chen Yi would not be wooed away in the future.

As for the consequence of sleeping with a woman and then having to bind himself to her family, Chen Yi would rather tighten his own belt, suppress his desires,

The world of Immortal Cultivation never lacks beautiful women,

When he reaches the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage in the future, what kind of top talents won't there be?

Moreover, he is currently in the Qi Refining Period, his power within the Immortal Cultivation World is relatively weak,

If he finds a cultivation partner and gets married now, it will add a lot of "weak points" to himself, which is not in line with his low-profile cultivation and pursuit of the nature of the Great Path.

.....

The next day, Chen Yi went back to his usual alchemy, and he still interacted with the young lady,

Only, Chen Yi played dumb, claiming he blacked out from too much drinking, and Zhao Chengjing, being a woman, also held back a bit. Thus, this miscommunication lingered unresolved.

During these days, around his cultivation sessions,

Old Zeng next door often invited Chen Yi for tea,

"Brother Chen, have you heard? Some time ago, the Ye family's daughter cracked the Array Method restriction of a hidden underwater cave mansion nearby, and won a flying sword of magic weapon grade as a prize!"

"That's a magic weapon!"

Old Zeng's eyes shone brightly.

A magic weapon is a level above a magical instrument, usually controlled by a Core Formation Cultivator or a Pseudo-core Cultivator,

Just like the one Ye Huanhuan found, which can exert one or two powerful abilities even in the Qi Cultivation Period, is considered high-grade among magic weapons,

With such a thing protecting her, Ye Huanhuan doesn't have to worry about safety until she reaches the Core Formation Stage, even killing people of a higher level is a minor matter.

No wonder Old Zeng is envious.

"Heh, Old Zeng, you were saying just a while ago that you've lost hope in the Dao and came here to retire. How come? Seeing an opportunity for treasure, and you're tempted again?"

"Who wouldn't be tempted!" Old Zeng glared,

"Xiao Chen, let me tell you, after the young lady from the Ye family snatched the Array Eye's flying sword and left, more hidden restrictions have been revealed in that cave mansion.

I've privately learned of the location of the mansion, and want to give it a try. I need someone to accompany me. What do you think? Want to go?

Let's gamble a bit, maybe there's a chance we might reach Foundation Establishment!

Shall we go? Just the two of us, no one else. Whatever we find, we'll split evenly!"

On hearing this, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, "Senior Zeng, our relationship isn't that deep, is it? You're willing to share such a secret with me?"
