Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"Brother Xu, you are too polite. Back then, I was forcibly sent to Qinjian Villa as a hostage by the Demon Sect. This was something I never expected."

Xu Hanchang waved his hand gently and smiled.

"Brother Zhou, there is no need to be modest. Although I am outside the villa, I have heard about what you have done in Qinjian Villa over the years."

"Brother Zhou is brave and resourceful. He saved the villa from danger. As a member of Qinjian Villa, I should thank you first."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and said.

"Brother Xu, you are overpraising me. I am just doing my best to survive."

Xu Hanchang nodded, then turned to Luochen and said.

"Brother Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Brother Luo Chen, the former crown prince of the Great Xuantian. Now... he is my boss, Xu Hanchang."

"Although Brother Luo Chen is young, his cultivation is unfathomable, and he has extraordinary talent. He is a rare genius that I have ever seen in my life."

"If it weren't for this, I, Senior Brother, wouldn't have given up the peaceful life in Qinjian Villa and willingly accompanied Brother Luo Chen to fight outside."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen smiled slightly, stood up and bowed to Zhou Yiqiao.

"During the time that I have worked with Brother Xu, I have heard a lot about Brother Zhou's deeds from him. After meeting him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao quickly returned the greeting.

"Brother Luo Chen, you are too polite. I am just a nobody. How can I deserve such praise?"

His heart moved, and he recalled the encounter he had with Luo Chen at the Yanyu Tower in Yongzhou, so he spoke.

"Actually, this is not the first time that Brother Luo Chen and I have met."

Luo Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao continued.

"In the past, I had the honor of meeting Brother Luo Chen at the Misty Rain Tower in Yongzhou."

"It's just that Brother Luo Chen was a hero who saved the beauty and left with her in public. I didn't have the chance to exchange names with Brother Luo Chen, so I guess Brother Luo Chen shouldn't have been affected."

Monks have extraordinary memories, and can often retain a memory for a long time with just a glance.

After Zhou Yiqiao's reminder, Luo Chen's eyes flashed with realization, then a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he nodded.

"So that's how it is. It really happened. It was a misty day and I was in a hurry. I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. I didn't expect that Brother Zhou was there."

"I didn't expect that young man was actually Brother Zhou. There really is some connection between us."

Xu Hanchang was happy to see the two of them having a pleasant conversation, so he spoke.

"Since the two of you have met once before, it is even more rare. How about we have a good chat in Tingyu Pavilion today?"

Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Chen smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.

The three of them drank tea and discussed philosophy in Tingyu Pavilion, feeling very comfortable.

Time passed by unknowingly, and the topic of conversation among the three people gradually turned from trivial matters in Qinjian Villa to the experience of cultivation, the secret techniques of alchemy, and even the general situation of the world.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhou Yiqiao put down the teacup in his hand and spoke to Xu Hanchang.

"Brother Xu received a summons from Qinjian Villa to return to the sect, and asked you to bring Luo Chen back with you. I believe you should also know the purpose of Qinjian Villa."

"nature."

Xu Hanchang nodded, but his expression did not change at all.

"In fact, long before the eldest lady came to me, I had already learned that Lingxiao Palace wanted to take the eldest elder away."

"Then Brother Xu, are you willing to help Qinjian Villa solve its current problems?"

Xu Hanchang smiled lightly, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Brother Zhou, you are just an outsider, but you care more about the safety of the villa than us disciples. This makes me a little curious."

"Could it be that Brother Zhou has already regarded Qinjian Villa as his own home?"

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly.

"Brother Xu, since you know that Zhou participated in the operation to purge the Great Elder's faction, you know that Zhou is worried that after the Great Elder leaves, he will retaliate against me, the mastermind."

Xu Hanchang nodded. He knew that Zhou Yiqiao was speaking from the heart, but he still couldn't help but make a joke.

"If that's the case, then Brother Zhou shouldn't ask me."

As he spoke, Xu Hanchang turned his gaze to Luo Chen, with some deep meaning in his eyes, and continued.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Luo Chen is the former crown prince of Daxuantian. He is the one who can really contact Daxuantian for help."

"With such a huge Buddha in front of you, why did you go so far away to ask me, a disciple from a small mountain village?"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he was moved and understood what Xu Hanchang meant.

He turned to Luo Chen and bowed.

"Brother Luo Chen, if Qinjian Villa really encounters a problem that is difficult to solve, I wonder if we can use the power of Daxuantian?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of depth, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Brother Zhou, it's not impossible to borrow the power of Daxuantian, but you should also know that every help in the world of immortal cultivation is not free."

"As the number one force in the Tianchen Realm, I, Daxuantian, can naturally help Qinjian Villa solve its current predicament with just a few words."

“But if Qinjian Villa really needs the assistance of Daxuantian, the benefits it needs to pay are not a small amount.”

"As Brother Xu said, Brother Zhou is just a hostage sent by the Netherworld Demon Sect to Qinjian Villa. Can he make such an important decision on behalf of Qinjian Villa?"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded. He knew that what Luo Chen said was true. In the world of immortal cultivation, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

"Brother Luo Chen is right. It was Zhou who was abrupt."

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao looking embarrassed, Xu Hanchang interrupted at the right time.

"Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry too much."

"Since the eldest lady contacted me to bring Brother Luo Chen back to the villa, I believe she has already discussed the details with the owner and the elders."

"Brother Luo Chen's willingness to gather with us also proves that the help of Daxuantian is not out of reach."

"All we have to do now is wait for the manor owner and his men to return from Taixu Sect, and then we can discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

Luo Chen nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with wisdom, and he said slowly.

"Brother Xu's words make sense. Although Daxuantian is strong, he doesn't like to make enemies for no reason."

"If Qinjian Villa is truly sincere, and what they are asking for is in the interests of our Great Xuantian, I will do my best to facilitate this."

After hearing Luo Chen's statement, Zhou Yiqiao also knew that he had fulfilled what he promised Qiu Yutong.

He bowed again to express his gratitude.

Seeing this, Xu Hanchang also smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Well, it's a rare occasion for us to get together today, so let's not talk about those heavy things, but continue to drink tea and discuss philosophy, and enjoy this moment of tranquility."
