Chapter 1634 We can't wait any longer!
As Mingchuan spoke, he carefully helped Leng Xi up from the sofa and straightened her slightly disheveled business suit, his movements meticulous and gentle.
Leng Xi used his strength to steady herself, feeling his thoughtful care, and her usually cold and aloof expression softened.
She raised her hand to tidy her hair, looked at the man in front of her whom she cared deeply for, and said softly.
"Anything is fine. As long as it's something you made."
Mingchuan felt a warmth in his heart and took her hand: "Let's go, wife. Let's go home and wait for Qianqian and Chuyan, then we'll have a nice family reunion dinner."
He waved his hand, removing the spatial barrier, and the office curtains slowly and automatically opened, revealing the dazzling night view of the city outside the window.
He took Leng Xi's hand, picked up her handbag that she had placed aside, and walked out of the office side by side, just like an ordinary couple leaving get off work.
Their hands, clasped together, were closer than ever before.
Looking at his gentle face and seeing him remove the restrictions so easily, Leng Xi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
When he came back last time, I thought that since I had at least reached the realm of martial artists, I could at least help him a little.
During his absence, Ye Yan led everyone in cultivation, and she herself had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
I thought I could at least become his right-hand man.
Unexpectedly, it now appears that Mingchuan's strength has increased even further.
And her strength... is probably not surprising at all.
Thinking of this, Leng Xi couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
Thinking back to what Mingchuan had just said about taking everyone to the Spirit Realm, she suddenly felt a little panicked.
Even so, she didn't want to ruin the atmosphere at this moment, so she could only let Mingchuan lead her through the company building.
This should be a rare time for them to celebrate here, right?
Leng Xi just wanted to spend more time alone with him.
On the way home, soothing music played in the car as Mingchuan focused on driving.
Leng Xi sat quietly in the passenger seat, occasionally glancing at him with a faint smile on her lips.
The evening breeze blew in through the cracks in the car window, carrying the unique scent of the city, but it couldn't dispel the deep warmth and wonderful anticipation of the upcoming reunion inside the car.
……
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm, at the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect.
Inside the main hall, Su Hongzhen paced back and forth in the empty space, his face grim.
The disciples standing in the hall held their breath and dared not make the slightest sound, for fear of angering their sect leader who was clearly in a bad mood.
The incident at the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts seemed to have subsided, but the sudden appearance of the "reclusive elder" of the Heaven-Mending Holy Sect, the lingering spatial fluctuations carrying a devouring aura, and the suspicious interactions between Ye Chuhan and Mu Yaoyao...
There is also Cang Zi'ang, who has not yet shown his face and whose whereabouts are unknown even to the disciples on duty!
All of this was like a tangled mess, tangling in Su Hongzhen's mind, making him restless and uneasy, with a vague feeling that something beyond his control was happening.
In particular, if the Heaven-Mending Holy Sect were to seize this opportunity to add another powerful figure who controls the laws of space, the threat to the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect would be immeasurable.
He abruptly stopped, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't wait any longer! He had to see Cang Zi'ang immediately!
Regardless of whether he is in seclusion or doing anything else, you should ask him for his opinion on the matter, and... confirm any doubts he may have.
Thinking of this, Su Hongzhen no longer hesitated. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed out of the sect master's hall, heading straight towards the Burning Heaven Pavilion where Cang Zi'ang usually secluded himself for cultivation.
However, just as he reached a misty covered bridge that was the only way to the Burning Heaven Pavilion, a slender purple figure appeared silently in the middle of the bridge like a ghost, blocking his way.
A fragrant breeze wafts by, accompanied by the gentle tinkling of jade pendants.
Jin Man leaned lazily against the pillar, her slender fingers playing with a strand of hair that fell down, a perfectly timed surprised smile on her charming face.
"Sect Master? Where are you going? You seem to be in a hurry."
Su Hongzhen was forced to stop. Looking at Jin Man who had suddenly appeared, he frowned and his doubts grew.
He suppressed his displeasure and said in a deep voice, "Elder Jinman, I wish to see Zi'ang to discuss important matters. What brings you here?"
Jin Man covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes sparkling: "Oh dear, Sect Master, Zi'ang is still in seclusion, at a crucial moment. If he is disturbed, all his previous efforts may be in vain."
Her tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority: "Sect Master, as you know, cultivation, especially when breaking through bottlenecks, is most vulnerable to external disturbances. The slightest carelessness can lead to the loss of all previous efforts, which is a minor matter. If the foundation is damaged... do you think... we could postpone it for a few days?"
Su Hongzhen's gaze was sharp as a knife as he stared intently at Jin Man, trying to find a flaw in her charming face.
"Oh? It's been so long, why are you still in seclusion?"
Facing his piercing gaze, Jin Man remained unmoved, still smiling: "Who can really say for sure about things like secluded cultivation? Didn't that Xuan Shui Daoist also secluded himself for a hundred years before coming out once and then going back? Don't you think so?"
Her words sounded reasonable, but Su Hongzhen's doubts remained undiminished.
He stared in the direction of the Burning Heaven Pavilion, trying to probe it with his divine sense, but felt a powerful restrictive fluctuation, which was obviously a barrier set up by Jin Man.
"I have urgent business to attend to and must see him immediately." Su Hongzhen's tone was firm as he took a step forward, his aura emanating subtly.
Jin Man's smile faded slightly, but a strong aura rose from her body, still carrying a hint of allure, but with a touch more determination.
"Sect Master, it's not that Jin Man is trying to stop us. It's just that Zi Ang's seclusion this time is no small matter. If something goes wrong due to external interference, it will not only be a loss for him personally, but also a loss for our Qingcheng Yufa Sect. I urge you to consider the bigger picture and ensure that Zi Ang comes to see you as soon as he emerges from seclusion so that he can personally explain the situation to you."
The two faced off on the covered bridge, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.
The clouds and mist swirled around me, and I could almost feel the invisible pressure.
Su Hongzhen stared intently at Jin Man, then glanced at the direction of the Burning Heaven Pavilion, which was shrouded in a barrier, his mind racing.
Forcibly breaking in might break through Jinman's barrier, but that would be tantamount to a complete falling out. If Cang Ziang is truly in seclusion, the consequences would be unpredictable.
After a long pause, he snorted coldly, and the oppressive aura around him slowly subsided: "Fine! I'll wait a few more days! Elder Jinman, once Zi'ang emerges from seclusion, you must immediately inform him that I have important matters to discuss with him! There must be no mistakes!"
After saying this, he took a deep look at the Burning Heaven Pavilion, flicked his sleeves, and with a heart full of doubts and a trace of unwillingness, turned around and transformed into a stream of light and left.
Looking in the direction where Su Hongzhen disappeared, Jin Man's smile vanished completely. She breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of seriousness flashed in her charming eyes.
"It seems... we need to inform that guy quickly; we can't hold out much longer here."
She murmured to herself, and her figure slowly disappeared into the clouds.
The covered bridge returned to silence, with only the mist still flowing slowly, concealing the undercurrents surging beneath.
