Chapter 60: It's Somewhat Related to You

At the entrance of Ning Xian's residence.

"Master, please come with us."

Ning Xian implored, her eyes glistening with unshed tears that threatened to spill down her cheeks.

"My dear disciple, my place is here, in Autumn Glory City. I cannot leave."

"My heart is with you, but my duty remains with the Jiang Clan."New novel chapters are published on

Qiu Liaoxi offered a warm smile as she stepped forward and gently wiped the tears from Ning Xian's face. Her voice was soft, yet resolute, "Utilizing my alchemy skills, I wish to repay Jiang Chen's benevolence for saving my life, dedicating all that I can to aid the Jiang Clan."

At that moment.

"We shall honor your wishes, Alchemist Qiu."

Jiang Chen bowed respectfully to Qiu Liaoxi.

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang Chen."

"Please take care of my Xian'er, and may the blessings of the heavens and the earth guide and protect you both on your journey."

Qiu Liaoxi added, her gaze lingering on the couple, filled with love and concern.

"Ning Xian, I understand that parting with your master is difficult for you."

"But rest assured!"

"Alchemist Qiu will be safe here with the Jiang Clan. They value her skills and wisdom, and they will ensure her well-being."

Jiang Chen spoke gently, his voice soothing Ning Xian's aching heart.

Hearing these words.

Ning Xian nodded to Jiang Chen, her eyes brimming with trust and gratitude.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen tenderly grasped her hand.

With a final, heartfelt farewell to Qiu Liaoxi, they turned away and approached the estate's entrance.

...

Soon.

Outside the Jiang Clan's estate.

Jiang Chen and Ning Xian stood side by side, as Elder Ge positioned himself behind them, his head bowed and maintaining a solemn demeanor.

Jiang Xingtai, Du Bailei, and Zhou Ruiyu, the three experts of the Mysterious Platform realm, along with a group of prominent figures from Autumn Glory City, bade their farewells one by one...

"Chen'er, while the Starry Abyss Sect possesses abundant resources, they won't be easy to acquire. Take these items with you; they may prove useful!"

"Indeed, indeed, Nephew Jiang Chen, don't assume I've given you too little!"

"Young friend Jiang Chen, please accept these gifts from me. I'll be residing in Autumn Glory City henceforth. Should you require any assistance, don't hesitate to contact me!"

"Young Master Jiang Chen, I stumbled upon this spiritual plant, which is said to be exceptionally beneficial for experts at the Spiritual Awakening realm. Kindly accept it!"

"..."

One by one, everyone stepped forward and placed storage artifacts into Jiang Chen's hands.

'What a commotion!'

'Why are there so many people this time?'

'When I returned to the Starry Abyss Sect from Autumn Glory City before, there weren't this many people to send me off.'

'It seems my Black Heavenly Fate is quite impressive. These gifts can also be considered a stroke of luck.'

'...'

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, but he was delighted to accept the gifts.

What pleased him even more was that Du Bailei had decided to settle in Autumn Glory City.

As the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, he had journeyed extensively not only across the Mysterious Truth Continent but also to other neighboring continents, amassing a wealth of experiences and valuable intelligence-gathering abilities.

In any case, Du Bailei was a highly resourceful individual.

Of course.

There was also a danger lurking behind Du Bailei, which was the person who controlled him using the Swallowing Body Snatching Soul Grass.

If time permitted, it would be worthwhile to have a conversation with him and uncover the identity of the one secretly manipulating him.

Having accepted the gifts from the crowd,

Jiang Chen departed the city alongside Ning Xian, making their way directly to the Starry Abyss Sect.

As for Elder Ge, his astuteness prompted him to lag behind, vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.

En route,

"This pace is somewhat slow."

Jiang Chen addressed Ning Xian, remarking, "We must arrive at the Starry Abyss Sect as swiftly as possible. Allow me to carry you."

"Alright!"

Ning Xian nodded in consent.

Though still slightly bashful, she had begun to grow accustomed to the idea.

"Ensure you hold on tight."

Jiang Chen offered a faint smile and hoisted Ning Xian onto his back, soaring hundreds of meters into the sky.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Ning Xian shrieked in alarm, instinctively clutching Jiang Chen tightly.

Feng Jun was meticulously examining the battle rankings and performance records of the disciples participating in the sect's Grand Competition, assessing their potential.

Upon completing his statement,

He also finished perusing the final page, lifting his head to observe Jiang Chen.

Abruptly,

He was momentarily taken aback before his eyes shifted to Ning Xian.

However, before he could inquire,

"This is Ning Xian!"

"I'd like to recommend her as a disciple of the sect!"

"Ning Xian possesses exceptional aptitude, equal to mine, and she is highly skilled in the arts of healing and alchemy."

"As for her background..."

"..."

Jiang Chen proceeded to introduce Ning Xian, providing detailed explanations about her situation one by one.

He did not conceal the existence of the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records either, as there was no necessity to do so.

The sect would not deny disciples their own opportunities, particularly given that he was a core disciple.

Moreover, he elucidated the motives behind the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain's malicious actions.

Naturally,

Jiang Chen deliberately emphasized the significance of the secret key required to access the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records, mentioning that due to the challenge of comprehending the entire manual, no copies had been created thus far.

This way, nobody would pester Ning Xian.

Additionally,

Jiang Chen was well-acquainted with Feng Jun.

This individual greatly valued the disciples' potential!

For someone as gifted as Ning Xian, there was no possibility that Feng Jun would decline her admission into the sect!

Furthermore, Feng Jun was extremely generous when it came to talented disciples!

Upon hearing Jiang Chen introduce Ning Xian's aptitude,

Feng Jun's interest was suddenly piqued.

He produced a testing artifact for aptitude and assessed Ning Xian, verifying that she indeed possessed Upper Grade aptitude.

"Hahaha!"

"The Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain in the Bright Cloud Continent?"

"I've dealt with them before; those people are truly shameless."

"Ning Xian, from today on, concentrate on your cultivation within the Starry Abyss Sect. If the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain dares to sully our Sect, I'll strike them down personally!"

"As for the safety of your people in Autumn Glory City, I'll dispatch a Middle-stage Mysterious Platform realm Elder as a precaution!"

Feng Jun laughed heartily while examining the test results, then presented Ning Xian with a disciple token.

The disciple token merely required blood recognition.

Once Ning Xian dripped her blood onto the token, she became an outer disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect.

'Great!'

'I am now a disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect as well!'

'From this moment forward, I can live with Jiang Chen in the Starry Abyss Sect. When I grow stronger, I'll seize an opportunity to return and exact revenge!'

'...'

Ning Xian clutched the disciple token in her hand, her heart swelling with excitement.

At this moment,

"Jiang Chen!"

"Since you brought Ning Xian here, and I can see that your relationship is far from ordinary, you may assume the responsibility of guiding Ning Xian from now on."

Feng Jun cast his gaze over Jiang Chen and Ning Xian, offering a subtle smile.

Suddenly,

Ning Xian's cheeks flushed a delicate pink, and she gently twirled the hem of her skirt with her exquisite, white jade fingers.

"Many thanks, Sect Master!"

"Well then, we shall take our leave!"

Jiang Chen inclined his head respectfully. After all, his intention was to publicly acknowledge his connection with Ning Xian, so as to avert any 'villains' from stirring up trouble!

With that said,

Jiang Chen readied himself to depart with Ning Xian by his side.

"Wait."

"Since you're here, I'll inform you of the announcement that will be made tomorrow, as it's somewhat related to you."

Feng Jun abruptly called out to Jiang Chen.

"Related to me?"

Jiang Chen's eyebrows arched slightly, and his heartbeat quickened just a bit.

How had this suddenly become something related to him!?

Could it be...
