Chapter 995: The best person to get along with in the grand world of immortals

Chen Xun's brow twitched wildly, and the teacup in his hand shook violently. He had no intention of finding a Dao companion right now.

This little girl, after so many years of not seeing each other, is now trying to play matchmaker for this Dao Ancestor?

However, gradually, a hint of cunning flashed in Youyuan's pure and clear eyes, as if she enjoyed seeing Chen Xun in this state, even going so far as to joke about her own mother.

This child, whether in her demeanor or aura, bore no resemblance to Elder Xun, definitely not his child.

She just wanted to tease him a bit, and at the same time gauge her mother's attitude, killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Xun raised an eyebrow, noticing the playful glint in Youyuan's eyes, and relaxed his tone slightly, "It seems you've grown bolder over the years, daring to tease even this Dao Ancestor!"

"Elder Xun, I was just speaking casually."

Youyuan was very close to Chen Xun, speaking in a sweet, playful voice, "Besides, my mother is great at raising children. If you're too busy, you could leave it to her, and I could have a little brother to play with!"

"Hahaha... So that's what you're up to, little girl."

Chen Xun laughed heartily, showing no sign of blame, but his expression turned serious as he advised, "Youyuan, there are things you can say freely in front of me, but you mustn't speak carelessly to others outside. Words can bring trouble."

"I understand, Elder Xun." Youyuan lowered her gaze, putting on a well-behaved demeanor.

Boom!

Before the words had fully left her mouth, Madam Xi He descended in a fury, aiming a slap at Youyuan's face, but the Chen family quickly intervened to stop her.

"Madam Xi He, please calm down... calm down!"

"Madam Xi He, the old master has already reprimanded Sister Youyuan. This is a grand event; we mustn't air our dirty laundry in public!"

"Madam Xi He, if there's anything, we can discuss it back at the Star Palace Immortal Court..."

The Chen family members all spoke up to suppress Madam Xi He's mana fluctuations, even mentioning not airing family scandals.

"Mother... I was wrong!" Youyuan bit her red lips, quickly running behind Chen Xun's chair, a hint of fear in her eyes. She was truly afraid of her mother.

"Dao Ancestor, I have failed in my teachings, allowing her to speak so recklessly."

Madam Xi He, her face ashen, bowed apologetically to Chen Xun, "I will strictly discipline this child to avoid making a laughingstock of us in front of the immortal sects. This is my fault."

Her long skirt trailed elegantly on the ground, her demeanor noble and dignified, prompting Chen Xun to take another look, thinking to himself that she was indeed worthy of being a descendant of immortals, with a righteous and upright family style.

He had noticed her extraordinary presence from the moment she appeared outside the Jade Bamboo Range, a stark contrast to the murderous aura of the cultivators from the Wild Heaven Region, making her hard to ignore.

Chen Xun composed himself, smiling, "Madam Xi He, it's no trouble. Youyuan has been playing with this Dao Ancestor and Bull since she was little, picking up some of our carefree ways."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Dao Ancestor." Madam Xi He breathed a slight sigh of relief, casting a cold glance at Youyuan hiding behind Chen Xun, "If you continue to be disrespectful and unruly, you'll return to the ancestral hall of the Immortal Court."

Upon hearing this, Youyuan couldn't help but widen her eyes, her previously lively demeanor instantly becoming mature and composed, responding in a deep voice, "Understood... Mother."

Youyuan's expression changed drastically, becoming much cooler, revealing the demeanor of a cultivator who had been tempered in the grand world of immortals.

The Chen family members fell silent, understanding the strict family discipline of these great clans, unlike the old master's more casual approach.

They exchanged silent glances, their expressions turning solemn, some with weathered faces, others with hands behind their backs, the playful atmosphere vanishing.

In front of the descendants of great clans, they couldn't let the old master lose face, lest outsiders truly think of them as a bunch of wild monkeys from the wilderness, only knowing how to fight.

Naturally, they would say the old master was just a native of the boundary, who happened upon a great opportunity, lacking the demeanor of a true immortal, with unruly descendants. They'd think, "If I had that opportunity, I could do it too!"

Chen Xun chuckled and waved his hand, "Madam Xi He, there's no need for such formality in my Five Aggregates Sect. Youyuan came to us precisely to avoid the tedious formalities of visits, and this connection, Bull and I have accepted."

Youyuan's eyes brightened behind Chen Xun, Elder Xun was just as he always was, no wonder she felt no unfamiliarity in her heart.

Madam Xi He bowed her head in salute, knowing well enough not to be ungrateful when the Dao Ancestor had spoken so clearly, "I see, if Youyuan causes any disturbance, Dao Ancestor, feel free to reprimand her, without any reservations."

"Hehe." Chen Xun smiled faintly, glancing at Youyuan pretending to be obedient, "Madam Xi He's words, this Dao Ancestor will remember."

Youyuan secretly rejoiced, knowing Elder Xun would never hit her, at most scold her a bit. He was the easiest person to get along with in this grand world of immortals!

"Daotian."

"Old master, your child is here!" Chen Daotian spoke in a rich, magnetic voice, his words rising and falling with a steady, deliberate pace, "Please, command me!"

Hush~~~

In this scene, the Chen family members sighed inwardly, cursing Chen Daotian for being such a show-off, still putting on airs.

However, Madam Xi He seemed to appreciate it, her eyes brightening as she observed his etiquette, thinking the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements had taught him well, with descendants who knew propriety and the Dao, contrary to rumors.

"Escort Madam Xi He to the viewing platform, and don't neglect the two celestial foxes. Guests are guests." Chen Xun clearly appreciated it too, his smile deepening.

"Rest assured, old master!"

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor!" The nine-tailed celestial fox quickly bowed from afar with a demon clan salute, its fur trembling, feeling as if it were about to ascend.

"Congratulations... no, thank you, Dao Ancestor old master!"

The seven-tailed celestial fox, clearly unaccustomed to such grand occasions, began to stammer, its Dao heart trembling wildly, this was the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements who dominated the Milky Way battlefield! The real deal!

It called my name!

The seven-tailed celestial fox's features twisted, only at the Unity realm, having never seen an immortal at the Star Palace Immortal Court, nor heard immortal words. This, it could boast about until it passed away!

Chen Xun turned his head with a smile, "Youyuan, is that little one your spirit beast?"

"Yes, Elder Xun, its name is Yuanyuan, it's been with me since it was little." Youyuan, hearing her mother was leaving, instantly returned to her lively self, laughing openly, "It's just a bit timid."

Whoosh~

A Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill shot from Chen Xun's fingertips, instantly appearing before the seven-tailed celestial fox's eyes, "You have great potential, and as Youyuan's spirit beast, I grant you this opportunity."

The seven-tailed celestial fox's eyes widened, momentarily speechless, the pill's mere aura and color marking it as a treasure of utmost creation, personally refined by an immortal!

Its seven tails stood upright in the air, quite comically, causing the nearby Chen family members to smile knowingly, finding the seven-tailed celestial fox rather amusing.
