Chen An did not quite understand the faction that Sect Master Xiao Qingyue mentioned and felt a little puzzled.

He asked with a hint of confusion, “Sect Master, what do you mean?”

Xiao Qingyue picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of the spiritual tea. She said indifferently, “Although I’m the Sect Master of the Heaven Earth Sect, 1 don’t have the final say in the sect. 1 can’t even speak for myself.”

“In the Heaven Earth Sect, there are still nine people whose statuses are equivalent to or higher than mine. That’s the nine elders who don’t usually manage things.”

“I believe you already know something about them from Xian’er.”

“Therefore, the Heaven Earth Sect currently has a total of 10 factions. It’s me and the Nine Elders. Each of us is in a faction.”

“The ten of us might cooperate, but we’re still essentially an independent faction. We’ll only have temporary interactions based on certain benefits.”

“Now, my faction is composed of me, and Xian’er,my disciple. There’s also Elder Qin of the Hundred Herb Hall and Elder Liu of the Weapon Refining Hall.”

“After the four of us have observed you during this period of time, 1 feel that you have the bearings of an elder of the Alchemy Hall. As long as you can join us, we will help you become an elder within ten years.”

Xiao Qingyue put down the teacup in her hand and said seriously with phoenix eyes.

Supporting Chen An to become an elder of the Alchemy Hall was her condition. It was a condition that countless deacons could not refuse.

After hearing Xiao Qingyue’s words, Chen An did not answer immediately.

At this moment, he had already realized why Ning Xian’er suddenly didn’t play by the rules and announced in the Alchemy Hall that he had developed the antidote.

This was probably instructed by Sect Master Xiao Qingyue.

And the reason she did this was self-evident. Her goal was to make him join her.

The Sect Master was really good…

Chen An thought to himself and pretended to be unable to make up his mind for the time being. “Thank you for thinking highly of me, Sect Master. However, this matter is really too sudden. I’m afraid 1 have to go home and consider it.”

“It’s fine. We’re not in a hurry.”

Xiao Qingyue smiled rarely and was not in a hurry to ask Chen An to join her now.

The reason why she said that so suddenly just now was just to seed the idea in Chen An first.

Next, she just had to wait for the seed to germinate.

Xiao Qingyue felt that there was no reason for him not to join since she had given Chen An such generous conditions and had the beautiful disciple of the Holy Maiden hanging around him.

The banquet did not last long.

After about an hour, they were almost done eating and chatting.

After the banquet ended, there were still many delicious dishes on the table.

When Chen An first came, he was still thinking of bringing it back for the silly second daughter to eat if he couldn’t finish it.

But now, he did not want to bring it along.

He did not want to have anything to do with the Sect Master, Xiao Qingyue.

Firstly, it was because he only wanted to lay low and did not want to participate in such a factional battle that would easily cause trouble.

Secondly, Xiao Qingyue’s method of instructing Ning Xian’er to set a trap for him made him very disgusted. He was very disgusted with the master and disciple pair and decided to stay away from them.

“Deacon Chen, let me send you off.”

“There’s no need to trouble the Holy Maiden. I can get out with an Earth Escape Technique. There’s no need to waste time taking two more steps.”

Chen An smiled and rejected Ning Xian’er.

Ning Xian’er pursed her lips and sensed the change in Chen An’s attitude.

She wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Chen An had already used the Earth Escape Technique to leave.

After sensing that Chen An had walked far away, she turned to look at her master, Xiao Qingyue, and said with a vexed expression, “Master, Deacon Chen seems to be dissatisfied with us putting him on the stage. What should we do?”

Xiao Qingyue said calmly, “You don’t have to worry about this. As long as there are benefits between people, the relationship can be as stable as a mountain. After he returns to the cave abode and thinks it through, his attitude towards you will return to normal.”

Was that really the case?

Ning Xian’er was puzzled about this, but because Xiao Qingyue was her master, she could not say anything else.

In the ‘Stable’ cave abode.

Chen An rode his sword to the entrance of the cave and landed. He slowly walked into the cave abode.

It was already late at night, and most of his wives and daughters were asleep in the cave abode.

Only Shen Qingyi and Wen Zhiyun, who had higher cultivation, were still sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating. They were very hardworking.

As for Jiu Ji, who had a higher cultivation, she had to feed her daughter every day. Her body was exhausted too much, causing her to be very tired every day. She could only sleep early.

This was the characteristic of the fox demon race. Although it was only a very conventional feeding, a lot of the spiritual qi in their bodies would be taken away during the feeding process and enter their daughter’s mouth to nourish her.

This was also why the fox demon of the fox demon race had a terrifyingly high cultivation despite looking very young.

She was a Golden Core Cultivator under the age of loo.

She was even a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

“It seems like it’s my turn to sleep with my arrogant concubine tonight. In that case, I’ll go see my heroine concubine first. After seeing her, I’ll sleep with my arrogant concubine.”

Chen An thought to himself. Soon, he came to Shen Qingyi’s door and stopped. He reached out and knocked lightly on the door. “Qingyi, is it convenient for me to come in?”

“Yes, it’s convenient.”

Shen Qingyi’s refreshing voice sounded in the room.

Chen An pushed the door open and entered.

Half an incense stick of time later.

Creak—

Chen An pushed open the door and came out of Shen Qingyi’s room. He walked to Wen Zhiyun’s room.

He knocked on the door and said, “Zhiyun, is it convenient for me to come in?”

“It’s not convenient!”

Wen Zhiyun’s resentful voice came from the room.

Chen An did not need to think to know that it must have been because he did not accompany her immediately when he first returned. Instead, he walked into Shen Qingyi’s room and made her unhappy.

A proud concubine loved to be angry, but she was also easy to coax.

Creak—

Chen An ignored the objections of his arrogant concubine and reached out to push the door open. He used the most primitive method to coax her, touching her until her eyes were filled with tears. She soaked the mattress and her anger dissipated in an instant.

“You’re really a bastard. It’s clearly your turn to sleep with me tonight, but the first thing you did when you came back was to look for Sister Shen. Can you be a human?”

“I was wrong, I was wrong. I’ll accompany you for the entire day tonight and tomorrow.”

“Who cares about your company?”

Wen Zhiyun was soft in every way, but her words were especially harsh.

Chen An specialized in dealing with stubborn women. He decisively pulled this arrogant concubine up and wanted to soften her red and tempting hard mouth.

Wen Zhiyun would rather die than submit. She reached out and slapped his thigh crazily, feeling very dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, her objection was invalid.

More than an hour later.

Wen Zhiyun was tired and wanted to lie down and rest.

Although Chen An liked to torture his wives, he would still pity her when he needed to. Seeing that she was really tired, he let her lie down and rest.

As for himself, he took out the three storage rings he had obtained tonight.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was disturbing him in the dead of night, he silently counted the spoils of war inside..
