Marry a Wife for Longevity, I Will Establish a Family of Immortals

162: Who can you know in Tianxuan Sect?”Unrelated personnel!”

”Leave quickly!”

Su Yuan had just arrived at the foot of the mountain when the Tianxuan Sect gate-guarding Disciples immediately blocked his path, their tone quite overbearing.

”Fellow Daoist!”

”I’m not trying to enter the Sect; I’m just waiting outside the mountain. Is that not allowed?”

Su Yuan frowned slightly, his expression darkening.

He was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. To be driven away by Tianxuan Sect Qi Refining Disciples—gate guards, no less—was truly frustrating.

”Hmph!”

”Don’t you know that the Tianxuan Sect has sealed the mountain gate?”

”Visiting relatives and friends has been suspended!”

”...” Su Yuan was speechless.

”Sealed the mountain gate?”

”It seems no one notified me of this.”

”Heh!” The gate-guarding Disciple in the distance cast a look of disdain.

”What are you supposed to be?”

”Do we need to notify you personally?”

Su Yuan fell silent. He gazed at the magnificent mountain gate, catching faint glimpses of the vast, cloud-piercing peaks of the Tianxuan Sect, standing to one side without speaking.

Seeing this, the gate-guarding Disciple became even more impatient.

”Still not leaving?”

”I suspect you’re a spy from the Tianmo Sect!”

”Be careful, or I’ll drag you into the Sect!”

”A spy?” Just then, a square-faced man walked over. He scrutinized Su Yuan, his brows knitting slightly.

”Eh, you are Su... Su what was it?”

”I’ve forgotten!”

”You are...”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed surprise. As he met the other’s gaze, long-forgotten memories surfaced. Soon, he remembered who it was.

Huang Zhiyuan.

They had been Disciples who participated in the assessment together, and there had even been some unpleasant conflict between them.

However, that was all before the assessment. After the other party joined the Sect, he hadn’t bothered with such trivial matters, and they hadn’t had any contact since. He hadn’t expected to see him again.

”Su Yuan!”

”Haha, Junior Brother Li, this person participated in the Sect assessment before!”

”His talent is extremely poor, and he’s quite old; he couldn’t possibly be a spy from the Tianmo Sect!”

”I see!” The gate-guarding Disciple nodded and asked while looking at Huang Zhiyuan, ”Huang Shixiong, where are you going?”

”Recently, the Tianmo Sect has been incredibly rampant, slaughtering many Sect Disciples. It’s best to be careful!”

”Heh!” Huang Zhiyuan’s face was full of confidence.

”I successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage a few days ago, so there is no need for you to worry, Junior Brother!”

”Ah!” The gate-guarding Disciple looked surprised and quickly bowed respectfully.

”I didn’t expect that Huang Shixiong had already achieved Foundation Establishment!”

”In that case, there is nothing to fear from the Tianmo Sect!”

”Congratulations!”

”...” Su Yuan stood to the side, silently watching the two of them. The fake pleasantries felt somewhat ridiculous.

He suddenly had the feeling that not joining the Sect wasn’t so bad after all. At least he didn’t have to be so hypocritical.

”Su Yuan!”

”We can be considered acquaintances!”

”Today I successfully achieved Foundation Establishment; don’t you have anything to say?”

Huang Zhiyuan’s lips curled up, clearly enjoying his Junior Brother’s flattery, as he looked Su Yuan up and down.

”I am just a Loose Cultivator!”

”What good things could I possibly have for you?”

”That’s true!” Huang Zhiyuan raised his head slightly and shook it while looking at Su Yuan.

”Forget it!”

”I don’t want to make things difficult for you!”

”It’s meaningless!”

”Right now, wanting to crush you to death is as simple as crushing an ant!”

”I’m heading to Qingxuan City to buy spirit liquid from the Zhenbao Pavilion. Do you want me to take you along to see the world?”

”After all, we were Disciples in the same assessment cohort!”

”Meeting an old friend!”

”I should still look after you a little!”

”...” Su Yuan was speechless, stifling a laugh, and slowly shook his head.

”Forget it!”

”I’m waiting for someone!”

”Waiting for someone?” Huang Zhiyuan was a bit surprised. He glanced at Su Yuan, but having no intention of paying more attention to him, he walked straight out of the Sect.

However, his mouth still held some mockery, and he issued a teasing sound:

”How funny!”

”Who could you possibly know in the Tianxuan Sect?”

”Really boring. I offered you a favor and you rejected it; I can’t be bothered with you...”

As his words faded, Huang Zhiyuan walked further and further away, then flew directly into the high sky.

Seeing this, Su Yuan raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the gate-guarding Disciple, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

”Didn’t you say the mountain gate was sealed?”

”How is this guy able to go out to buy spirit liquid?”

”Heh!” The gate-guarding Disciple’s face was indifferent.

”Huang Shixiong has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

”His status is quite different from us Qi Refining Disciples!”

”Oh!” Su Yuan nodded slightly, finally understanding.

Sealing the mountain gate only prevented Qi Refining Cultivators from leaving, out of fear of encountering Demon Sect Disciples.

The Foundation Establishment Stage, whether in the Tianxuan Sect or a cultivation Family, was considered the backbone—a middle-to-lower tier existence.

”Too much nonsense, isn’t it?”

”Still not leaving? Do you really think that just because you know Huang Shixiong, we will be polite to you?”

”...” Su Yuan didn’t speak. He gazed ahead, where a beautiful figure in white had appeared, having landed right beside him.

Seeing this, the gate-guarding Disciples quickly bowed, their faces showing some excitement.

”Gu, Gu Senior Sister!”

”Greetings, Gu Senior Sister...”

Gu Yunxi did not respond to the others. She only looked at Su Yuan, and the two locked eyes, neither looking away for a long time, their gazes filled with many emotions.

There was familial affection, friendship, and romantic love, all swirling within their eyes. The intersection of these various complex emotions left even Gu Yunxi unable to discern exactly what kind of feeling this was.

Finally, it transformed into a light, airy sentence:

”You achieved Foundation Establishment?”

”Yes!” Su Yuan nodded slightly.

”I got lucky!”

”Let’s go!” Gu Yunxi nodded slightly, inviting him to enter the Sect together.

”Come sit in my Immortal Cave for a while!”

”Eh!” Su Yuan’s expression remained calm as he glanced at the gate-guarding Disciples.

”I heard that, apparently, one cannot visit friends or relatives. Can I enter the Tianxuan Sect?”

”Hmm?” Gu Yunxi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the others and said coldly,

”Do you not know that this is my honored guest?”

”Gu, Gu Senior Sister!” The gate-guarding Disciple shuddered.

”He didn’t tell me that!”

”...” Gu Yunxi’s expression darkened slightly as she stared coldly at the group.

She could already imagine the treatment Su Yuan had received. He must have suffered plenty of grievances.

Thinking of this, she grabbed Su Yuan’s arm and took him into the Sect, flying towards a mountain peak.

”Ah! This...”

Seeing the two fly into the Sect holding hands, the gate-guarding Disciples were stunned, staring blankly at everything, unable to react for a long time.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, they said in disbelief:

”Did you see that?”

”Gu, Gu Senior Sister is actually holding his hand...”

”I saw it. How could this be! Given Gu Senior Sister’s personality, even towards us, she is always icy cold. How could she take the initiative to hold hands?”

”...”

High in the sky.

Feeling the temperature of Gu Yunxi’s palm—a cold aura—Su Yuan gripped her hand firmly in return, sending a wave of warmth.

”...”

Gu Yunxi glanced at Su Yuan, her brows slightly furrowed.

However, she had no intention of pulling away. Just like that, hand in hand, they passed through the sea of spiritual mist and clouds, through the Sect that resembled a fairyland, and landed in an Immortal Cave.

Only then did she release her hand and say indifferently:

”The refining of the Magic Treasure still requires some auxiliary Materials, so it has been a bit slow!”

”Oh!” Su Yuan felt the lingering coolness on his palm and nodded slowly.

”So that’s how it is!”

”I thought you had embezzled my treasure!”

”I was even preparing to come find you!”

”...” Gu Yunxi paused, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.

”You really thought that?”

”Just joking!” Su Yuan smiled.

”The relationship between us has long since surpassed ordinary friendship; why would I not trust you?”
