Traveling Back Early: Forcing the Young Empress to Sign a Lifetime Servitude Contract

107: Do you dare answer if I call your name, Chen Qingxuan?Juxian Tower.

Experts from all walks of life gathered together, drinking and socializing, making the atmosphere incredibly lively.

Chen Qingxuan personally poured wine for everyone, leaving the crowd overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

Although they were unsure exactly how strong Chen Qingxuan was, since he was introduced by Huang Qingxue and Jiang Susu, his strength was definitely not ordinary.

To be addressed as brothers by him now, and to have him personally pour the wine... this honor was profoundly weighty, beyond words.

“To be honest, only now do I feel that our Heavenly Dao Alliance has embarked on the Righteous Path.”

“Exactly! It’s not that we discriminate against Alliance Leader Jiang and Alliance Leader Huang for being women, but before Senior Chen joined, we had no sense of belonging to the Heavenly Dao Alliance.”

“Senior Chen, from now on, we shall be your loyal subordinates, ready to be deployed at your command!”

After a few cups of wine, some people started setting the tone.

Naturally, they were met with a resounding response.

“Everyone, you speak too highly.”

Chen Qingxuan raised his wine cup and said powerfully, “We are all one family; there’s no need for formalities. Drink, eat... everything is in the wine.”

“Yes!”

The crowd seemed incredibly energized.

Night fell, and the noisy Juxian Tower gradually returned to quiet.

Chen Qingxuan separately called the three people who had started setting the tone earlier into a private room and gave each of them a gift box containing a million purple crystal coins.

“Thank you all for today... Happy cooperation.”

“This... Senior Chen, you are too kind.”

Looking at the bribe handed over, all three pretended to politely wave their hands in refusal.

“We are all on the same side, take it!” Chen Qingxuan forcefully stuffed the boxes into their hands and said, “Rest assured, once I establish a firm footing in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, you, along with your respective factions, will become the upper core of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. All benefits will prioritize you, including the future of the entire Cangyun Continent... I need you gentlemen to govern alongside me, and together we will engrave ’serving the Cangyun Continent’ into our very bones!”

“Serving the Cangyun Continent... Senior Chen’s words are profound!”

The three men felt enlightened... Yihua Palace.

After returning, Jiang Susu went to Pei Qingli, “Revered Master, what is Senior Chen’s name?”

“Name?” Pei Qingli was slightly startled and said, “I don’t know either. I’ve always just called him Senior Chen. Susu, why are you suddenly curious about this?”

“I feel like he’s a little strange,” Jiang Susu admitted. “So I want to investigate and see what kind of person he really is.”

“Hmm?”

Investigation... Pei Qingli’s heart rate accelerated.

Meeting her Beloved Disciple’s intense gaze, she nervously swallowed, “Susu, why would you suddenly think about investigating Senior Chen? What happened?”

“Yesterday at the Heavenly Dao Alliance...”

Jiang Susu described the scene of Chen Qingxuan winning people over.

Hearing this, Pei Qingli forced a smile and said, “You can’t just assume Senior Chen has ulterior motives for joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance simply because he’s good at socializing, can you? Do you want him to be ostracized after joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance? That would be our dereliction of duty... After all, Senior Chen is the benefactor of our Yihua Palace.”

“Revered Master, I don’t want him to be ostracized,” Jiang Susu frowned. “I just feel that his appearance was inexplicable... and there are so many suspicious points about him, don’t you think?”

Gulp~

Pei Qingli’s heart was practically in her throat.

But at this moment, she could only bite the bullet and shake her head, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him... I think you are the strange one.”

“How am I strange?”

“So many people joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance because of the Evil Cultivators, so why are you only suspicious of Senior Chen?”

“Because I’ve never heard his name before, nor have I ever heard Revered Master mention that our Yihua Palace had such a benefactor. A powerhouse suddenly appears... If his strength is so great, how could no one have heard of him before?”

“That’s because... Senior Chen is naturally low-key!”

Pei Qingli said guiltily.

As if afraid her Beloved Disciple wouldn’t believe her, she added, “After all, Senior Chen was in secluded cultivation for over three hundred years. How old are you? You weren’t even born when Senior Chen made a name for himself back then... And after so many years, Senior Chen prefers to travel alone... Isn’t it reasonable that no one remembers him?”

“Three hundred years ago... was Revered Master already born?”

“I...”

Pei Qingli was stumped by the question.

At this moment, she also wanted to shove her foot into Chen Qingxuan’s mouth.

That Lecher... lying without thinking of the consequences... How was she supposed to cover for him!

Meeting her Beloved Disciple’s questioning gaze, Pei Qingli took a deep breath, “Susu, what exactly are you trying to say?”

“I just want to know... is Revered Master hiding something from me?”

Jiang Susu’s expression was serious.

After all, investigating Chen Qingxuan yielded absolutely no clues... and Chen Qingxuan had appeared using Pei Qingli as an excuse;

Therefore, she could only start with Pei Qingli.

Pei Qingli categorically denied it, “No!”

“Truly nothing?”

“Do you need your Revered Master to vouch for it with her personal integrity?”

“Revered Master, don’t be angry... I just find him very strange.”

Seeing that Pei Qingli had spoken so firmly, Jiang Susu had no choice but to stop.

How could she not be suspicious of someone who suddenly appeared, possessed considerable strength, yet had no traceable information, and even knew how to evade the Nine Profound Pupils?

...The next day.

In a secluded forest rarely visited by people, two figures appeared one after the other.

Chen Qingxuan spoke first, “Why did you suddenly use the Secret Technique to call me? That thing is only supposed to be used in emergencies.”

“I am in an emergency right now,” Pei Qingli said gravely. “Susu... she’s starting to suspect you.”

“What?”

“Yesterday, she came to me asking to investigate you...”

Pei Qingli honestly recounted the sequence of events.

Hearing this, Chen Qingxuan was thunderstruck: “How is it so fast? Did you manage to cover for me?”

“How was I supposed to cover it up?” Pei Qingli said helplessly. “If I said the wrong thing, it might have just added fuel to the fire, so I could only interrupt her questioning... So now, she must definitely be gathering information about you everywhere!”

“...”

Chen Qingxuan fell silent.

Although he had anticipated that his identity might be exposed, he hadn’t expected it to be so soon... Where exactly did the suspicion start?

Fortunately, Jiang Susu still hadn’t guessed who he was.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingxuan looked at Pei Qingli: “You did the right thing. She doesn’t have any evidence anyway... simple suspicion isn’t a big deal... it won’t affect our plan.”

“I’m telling you... pay more attention to your actions in the future,” Pei Qingli reminded him. “Susu and Qingxue aren’t fools; try to act in a way that fits your identity.”

“Understood!”

Chen Qingxuan agreed... A few days later.

Chen Qingxuan was still in Zhongzhou, continuing to win people over while using the power within the Heavenly Dao Alliance to draw in Human Race factions that had not yet joined.

Although only a very small number of factions had yet to join, based on Luo Yin’s mission, they needed to gather all Human Race forces possible to ensure the success of the plan.

Even the smallest ant is still meat.

Creak—

The door was pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in.

Chen Qingxuan looked at the newcomer, “Susu, why are you here?”

Jiang Susu said meaningfully, “Senior Chen has been very busy these days, mobilizing the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance. I didn’t realize they were so obedient to your commands.”

“As the official organization of the Human Race, the Heavenly Dao Alliance cannot allow any Human Race faction to fall behind. This is all for the development of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Human Race...”

“...”

Jiang Susu just smiled and said nothing.

After a long while, Chen Qingxuan raised his head, “Susu, is there anything else you need?”

Jiang Susu pretended to ask casually, “Speaking of which, Senior Chen... I still don’t seem to know your name?”

“A name... is just a designation.”

“Then how about I call you Chen Qingxuan?”
