Chapter 50 Chu Hanyan (1/2)
The Three Pure Sect had sent many disciples to the Violet Manor, yet none had ever come back. This time, that disciple's coming back stirred the Three Pure Sect. Five major elders went to greet her, and even Outer Disciples came to the Black Dragon Peak. This felt like a celebration.
”I heard that Senior Sister Chu had come back? She must have reached the Core Forming Realm I guess.”
”Yeah. She also had brought her fiance here. I heard that he is the young master of the Yang Family, one of the ten major families in the Violet Manor.”
”Well, that's something!”
People had crowded both sides of the square, waiting for her arrival. The five elders stood side by side at the entrance of the square. Except for Bai Ying, whose brow furrowed tightly, the other four elders were beaming.
Xiao Chen stood beside her. He was the only disciple standing beside elders as if Bai Ying asked him to stand by her side.
Soon after, under the lead of eight Inner Disciples, two people were walking slowly toward the stairs. The one on the left was a seductive and fascinating woman, while the man on the right was handsome and imposing with sharp brows and eyes.
Many disciples in the square stared agape at them. They whispered, ”Is that Senior Sister Chu? Seven years later, she now looks beautiful...”
That woman was the Three Pure Sect disciple sent to the Violet Manor seven years ago. She was Chu Hanyan, the First Elder's major disciple, Mo Yu's Junior Sister, and the strongest disciple back then in the Three Pure Sect. In less than three years after joining the Three Pure Sect, she reached the Foundation Building Realm, which was a miracle in the history of the sect. Now, she was at early Core Forming Realm.
The First Elder was overjoyed and said, ”Hanyan! You're back!”
Chu Hanyan smiled gently and said, ”Master, it's been so many years. How are you?” While speaking, she did not even look at the other four elders.
”I'm doing fine!” The First Elder was overjoyed beyond expectation. He then looked at the handsome man beside her and asked with a smile, ”How should I address this young man?” Although he knew who this man was, he asked in courtesy.
The man clasped his hands and smiled like a gentleman, saying, ”I'm Yang Shaochen from the Yang Family. Nice to meet you, elder. I've engaged with Hanyan, and I come here to inform your honored sect.”
A thousand years ago, the six major ancient families in the Violet Manor had gradually become silent. Now, they basically disappeared in the Violet Manor. Now there was only the saying ”ten major families”. The Yang Family was one of the ten major families, and its strength was far stronger than that of the Skygale Sect.
All disciples talked in low voices. Although a man who wanted to marry a woman from a sect must challenge the sect's disciples and win three rounds, in front of this man, this was but a joke. This man was apparently at middle Core Forming Realm. Even the elders might not stand a chance to defeat him, not to mention the disciples.
”Good! Good!” The First Elder laughed and said.
Chu Hanyan looked extremely prideful. She glanced at Bai Ying and Xiao Chen, giggled and said, ”Aha! The Third Elder. Is that your fiance? He looks too young for you.” She then looked at Xiao Chen and said, ”I wonder, which family in the Violet Manor does this young master come from? The Han Family? The Su Family? The Zuoqiu Family? Your cultivation, which level are you in the Core Forming Realm?”
Xiao Chen felt that this woman was disgusting. He smiled and said, ”I'm Xiao Chen. I am not a young master, and I'm only at Lv 7 Qi Refining Realm.”
”Hahaha. It turns out that you're a kid...” Chu Hanyan put her hand on her mouth and chuckled.
Bai Ying glared at Xiao Chen. ”You should ignore her. Why did you tell her that you're not?”
Yang Shaochen was shocked. ”The Xiao Family?” Chu Hanyan noticed that something happened to him and asked, ”Shaochen, what's wrong?”
Yang Shaochen smiled and said, ”No... Nothing.” He glanced at Xiao Chen while speaking.
The other elders found embarrassment in the air. The Second Elder smiled and said, ”Hanyan, go to the hall and have a rest.”
The group of people then walked to the Receiving Hall on the Black Dragon Peak. The disciples were envious of Chu Hanyan. One could share the same position as an elder once came back from the Violet Manor. Now, the disciples were more eager to go to the Violet Manor.
It was now August, the hottest season of the year. The cicadas started to sing on the branches of the trees. The temperature was rising. Due to lack of resources, it was impossible for the sect to spend countless stones to run the Cooling Formation. Chu Hanyan kept fanning her face with her hand, saying, ”It's so hot. I should've brought some Core Forming Realm ice formation keepers with us.”
Yang Shaochen, who stood beside her, immediately took out a folding fan and fanned it for her with a smile. Bai Ying glanced at Xiao Chen, as if she was saying, ”Go get a fan and fan it for me too!”
Xiao Chen looked at her as if he was saying, ”Where can I get a fan? Besides, you can't compare me with him. He is the young master of the Yang Family! Me? I'm just your miserable disciple!”
Chu Hanyan noticed that they were eye-contacting. She smiled and took out a box, saying, ”Third Elder, this is a Cooling Bead, collected from the East Sea. Here, take it. This Lingtai Mountain was steaming people, and the sunlight was too harmful. It will be too bad for your skin to be damaged.”
Bai Ying sneered and said, ”Keep this kind of things yourself. I don't need it.”
Chu Hanyan giggled and said, ”It's fine. Shaochen has so many of it in his home. But it's rare in the Human World. Third Elder, you're not young now. You should take good care of yourself. Nobody will care about you when your skin turned yellow. Hahahaha...”
Bai Ying was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Although she had cultivated an Immortal Body and her face would remain forever, she hated people saying she was old, not to mention that a little girl said this.
The other elders were leading the way in front of them, and they pretended that they heard nothing. Back then, Chu Hanyan did not respect her. Now that she came back from the Violet Manor, reached the Core Forming Realm and married into a wealthy family, she was probably ignoring her.
The group of people finally reached the hall. The First Elder immediately sent disciples to fetch Spirit Stones to set a Cooling Formation. The cooks from the other peaks had also rushed here. To welcome Chu Hanyan, the sect must serve a decent banquet.
The Outer Disciples from the Sunset Peak were brought here by Elder Wu, Elder Song, and Elder Liu. The three princes were so excited. Prince Zhao stepped on the other two people's shoulder and climbed on a big pagoda tree. He then shouted, ”Senior Brother Xiao...”
