Gongsun Nan’s visit made Chen Qingyuan feel a lot of pressure.

After wandering around the sect for several hours, Chen Qingyuan returned to the house and muttered to himself, “It’s been so long, she should have left by now!”

To his surprise, Gongsun Nan was still sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the breeze and sipping tea.

“Sister, you haven’t left yet?”

Chen Qingyuan’s body trembled.

“I have some things to take care of recently, and I need to visit Elder Li occasionally, so I will stay in the Flow Star Domain for the time being.”

Gongsun Nan made up an excuse, and the Elder Li she mentioned was Sword Immortal Changgeng, whose real name was Li Muyang.

“Oh, I see.” Chen Qingyuan understood and nodded gently. “Sister Ghost Doctor, do you want to use the Mystic Azure Sect as a place to stay?”

“I have a peculiar personality and don’t like to interact with strangers. Since I know you, it’s more suitable for me to stay here for the time being.”

Gongsun Nan appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually slightly pleased in her heart.

You brat, my intentions should be clear enough! Why aren’t you taking the opportunity to invite me to be a respected Elder? When are you going to do it?

Looking into Chen Qingyuan’s eyes, Gongsun Nan was filled with a hint of anticipation.

This time, as long as Chen Qingyuan extended the invitation, Gongsun Nan would definitely accept without hesitation.

On that day, Sword Immortal Changgeng had said that if Chen Qingyuan took the initiative to invite him, he would be willing to become a respected Elder of the Mystic Azure Sect and establish this good relationship.

If Chen Qingyuan knew, he would definitely invite Sword Immortal Changgeng with great fanfare, fearing that others wouldn’t know.

However, this kind of karmic relationship should not be forced, or it will backfire.

In the world, everything revolves around the concept of “fate,” and it cannot be forced.

“This is easy to handle.”

Chen Qingyuan mistakenly thought that Gongsun Nan wanted to stay at the Mystic Azure Sect and did not think of other aspects. He said with a smile, “Sister, I can arrange a quiet place for you to stay. What do you think?”

“Okay.”

The young can be taught.

Gongsun Nan was very satisfied and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

However, the next words from Chen Qingyuan directly caught Gongsun Nan off guard, and she couldn’t help but give him a slap.

“Since we have a destined relationship, I will charge you a service fee of one hundred medium-quality spirit stones per day. This price is already very cheap. Of course, if Sister Ghost Doctor doesn’t have spirit stones, I can also accept spiritual herbs and grass.”

Clearly, Chen Qingyuan had set his sights on the spiritual herbs in Gongsun Nan’s hands.

“…” The smile under Gongsun Nan’s veil froze, and she tightened her hand slightly, glaring angrily. “What did you say? You want me to pay?”

“Cough.” Chen Qingyuan took a step back, ready to flee at any moment after being glared at by Gongsun Nan. “Sister, I’m short of money! You definitely don’t want others to know your whereabouts and don’t want to be disturbed. Although the Mystic Azure Sect has many empty halls, you need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to stay!”

“This time, you were surrounded by various forces in the Flow Star Domain. Wasn’t it me who helped you out?”

Gongsun Nan snorted coldly.

“Thank you for helping, and I will definitely repay you if I become wealthy in the future.”

Chen Qingyuan said solemnly, clasping his hands together.

“By the time you get rich, the daylilies will have gone cold.” Gongsun Nan said unkindly, “Arrange a suitable place for me to stay, but I won’t give you any money, don’t even think about it.”

“Alright.” Chen Qingyuan looked helpless. He could only pay the rent himself.

If the Mystic Azure Sect knew that Gongsun Nan was staying, they would definitely not charge a single penny and would take good care of her. The key was that Chen Qingyuan couldn’t figure out Gongsun Nan’s intentions, so he couldn’t reveal her whereabouts and had to handle it discreetly.

Therefore, the required spirit stones had to be paid.

“Look at how stingy you are. Do I really have to pay? Isn’t there any other way?”

Gongsun Nan probed.

“Sister, you sneaked in here secretly and definitely don’t want to be found by others. I want to arrange a good place for you to stay, but I can’t use your name, so I have to pay for it myself.”

Chen Qingyuan sighed lightly. “Alas! If Sister could become a respected Elder of the Mystic Azure Sect, everything would be easy. As long as the requests are not too excessive, the Mystic Azure Sect will do its best to satisfy you. It’s a pity that the temple of the Mystic Azure Sect is too small to accommodate Sister. Let’s not talk about the matter of becoming a respected Elder, or else it would make you angry.”

After that, Chen Qingyuan bowed to Gongsun Nan and said a few words before leaving. “Sister, I will go arrange a place for you to stay.”

When he heard the mention of becoming a respected Elder, Gongsun Nan’s eyes lit up, and her mouth was already open, waiting for Chen Qingyuan to extend the invitation. However, Chen Qingyuan didn’t play by the rules, leaving Gongsun Nan feeling disoriented.

Looking in the direction Chen Qingyuan had left, Gongsun Nan crushed a teacup on the table, muttering sullenly, “Chen Qingyuan, you brat really deserves a beating.”

Chen Qingyuan had no idea about the thoughts in Gongsun Nan’s heart and truly believed Gongsun Nan’s excuse, thinking that she just wanted to find a place to stay so she could visit the Elder Sword Immortal.Last time Chen Qingyuan brazenly invited her, Gongsun Nan said she would consider it if she was provided with a top-grade Spirit Vein every year.

The Mystic Azure Sect was too poor to afford the great Buddha that was Gongsun Nan. To avoid humiliating himself, Chen Qingyuan naturally wouldn’t invite her over and over again, lest Gongsun Nan grow to despise him.

Chen Qingyuan was very efficient in handling matters. In just a short Time, he had arranged for Gongsun Nan to secretly move into a tranquil cultivation palace, surrounded by a Barrier to prevent disturbances.

Moreover, Chen Qingyuan had left many precious fruits and fragrant teas for Gongsun Nan.

“Sister, you can stay here for now! If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Chen Qingyuan didn’t want to stay with Gongsun Nan any longer; the pressure was too great.

“Don’t you have anything you want to tell me?”

Gongsun Nan, dressed in a black dress, squinted her eyes meaningfully.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Qingyuan didn’t feel there was any issue and shook his head: “Nothing to tell, I guess!”

“Fine then!” Gongsun Nan felt tired.

Had she known the Mystic Azure Sect had such a significant background, she would have agreed that day to become an offering Elder. Unfortunately, the opportunity was missed, and who knows how long she would have to wait.

Gongsun Nan decided to stay at the Mystic Azure Sect for a long time, believing that an opportunity would surely come.

“Then I’m off.” Before leaving, Chen Qingyuan added, “Sister, if you think I handled things efficiently, you might consider rewarding me a little.”

Shameless, truly invincible under the heavens!

Hearing this, Gongsun Nan’s face darkened: “Get lost.”

“Alright!” Chen Qingyuan didn’t feel ashamed and turned to run.

Just as Chen Qingyuan reached the doorway, Gongsun Nan casually tossed a jade box at him: “This can help you build a better Foundation and aid in cultivation. Take it and get lost quickly.”

“Thank you, Ghost Doctor Sister, you are truly too beautiful, like a fairy descended to earth!”

Chen Qingyuan was overjoyed, took the jade box, offered a compliment, and left.
