Chapter 1703 Reunion with Old Leader
"Good!"
The scruffy Taoist said, "You guys go ahead, just find me a place to stay."
He didn't want to see anyone from the Taoist sect.
"Uh..."
Chen Xuan said, "You brat, didn't you do something you regret and can't face people? Don't worry, this is Suolong Well, and I still have some face here!"
"This Taoist is upright and honest, how could I do anything wrong? Hurry up and go, I need to catch up on sleep."
After the scruffy Taoist finished speaking, he quickly left.
Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Arrange for him to stay next to my room."
"Yes!"
Pan Huacheng quickly had people prepare a place for the scruffy Taoist to rest.
Then, led by Pan Huacheng, Chen Xuan arrived at the conference hall.
Upon reaching the entrance, Chen Xuan stopped.
Back then, for a woman, he had left the Yanhuang Iron Brigade without hesitation, and even had a falling out with the top figure of the Dragon Soul team. Although the top figure had already forgiven him.
However, at this moment, meeting again, Chen Xuan's mood was extremely complicated.
"Brother Xuan, why aren't you walking?"
Pan Huacheng frowned and said, "Brother Xuan, don't worry, the old leader favors you the most. During your absence, he often mentioned you. He'll be happy to have you back!"
Chen Xuan smiled, feeling a bit more at ease, "Okay!"
"I'll go in and say something."
Pan Huacheng said, knocked on the door and went in.
Chen Xuan stood outside the door.
A moment later, footsteps sounded, and an old man in armor rushed out.
He grabbed Chen Xuan's hand, tears welling up, "My Xuan Doctor War Venerable, you've finally returned!!!"
Looking at the old man before him, Chen Xuan's nose felt sore.
When he left, the old man was still spirited, but now his temples were gray, his back was more bent, his figure was thinner, and his mental state was not as good as before. The only thing that made Chen Xuan happy was that the old man's cultivation had advanced again!
The old man's name was Long Zhentian, the top figure of the Dragon Soul team, revered as the Dragon Soul War God, and the true Dragon Soul of the Dragon Soul team!
When he left, Long Zhentian had already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. After a few years, Long Zhentian had reached the middle stage of the Integration stage!
"Old leader, I was wrong before, I failed you!"
Chen Xuan said with tears.
"You haven't failed me, it's good that you're back!"
Long Zhentian didn't care.
He had no children, and had always treated Chen Xuan as his own son. Since Chen Xuan was back, Long Zhentian wouldn't say anything.
This was true family.
"Your cultivation..."
Long Zhentian's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Chen Xuan with disbelief, "You broke through the Qi Refining stage?"
He knew that Chen Xuan's cultivation was stuck in the Qi Refining stage. Although he couldn't sense Chen Xuan's cultivation, he felt that Chen Xuan had broken through the Qi Refining stage at this moment.
"Yes, I broke through."
Chen Xuan said, "Old leader, your cultivation has also advanced quite a bit, reaching the Integration stage."
"Hahaha, good boy, you can even see this! That's right, I've reached the early stage of integration. You've come back at the right time. I'll help you with a spiritual baptism and temper your body to help you improve your cultivation."
Long Zhentian laughed heartily.
His face was radiant, and he looked several years younger all of a sudden.
"Thank you, old leader."
Chen Xuan touched his nose.
He seemed to be in the early stage of integration too...
However, he would not refuse the old leader's kindness.
"Hurry up and come in, we are discussing important matters. Your return is timely, and we have more confidence in entering the bronze gate this time." Long Zhentian pulled Chen Xuan's arm and rushed in.
Inside the hall sat seven or eight figures.
Young or old, male or female.
As Chen Xuan and the old leader walked in, everyone looked over, their eyes shining. Chen Xuan felt countless divine senses scanning him. These people were almost all cultivators.
Chen Xuan had never seen so many cultivators before, which was truly unbelievable.
Facing everyone's divine sense probes, Chen Xuan quietly enveloped his divine sense in front of him. Although these people were not weak, they were still slightly inferior to Chen Xuan, and their divine senses were even less than Chen Xuan's. Naturally, they couldn't detect anything.
They all frowned and looked at Chen Xuan with strange expressions.
Chen Xuan smiled knowingly.
"Brother Chen Xuan?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
Chen Xuan turned his head.
Not far away, a young woman in a gray Taoist robe was looking at him intently.
This young woman looked familiar, and he had some impression of her, but for a moment, he couldn't remember.
It was also possible that Chen Xuan couldn't remember, but this attire was different from his impression of the person.
"You are..."
"It's me."
The little Taoist nun took off her hat, and her long, dark, soft, and shiny hair cascaded down, making her look radiant and moving in the sunlight.
The men around looked at her with different gazes.
"You are... Wei Linlin's classmate, Li Meixue?"
Chen Xuan suddenly remembered who this little Taoist nun was.
This was exactly Wei Linlin's missing classmate, Li Meixue!
Back then, in order to investigate the Ge family in the capital, he approached Li Meixue, whose entire family had been wiped out. However, Li Meixue suddenly disappeared later. According to his investigation, Li Meixue was taken away by the Divine Nun of the East Sea.
He never expected to meet her again here.
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to still remember me, that's great!" Li Meixue's small face turned red with excitement.
She had not spent much time with Chen Xuan, and she was really worried that Chen Xuan had forgotten her. Now, it seemed that Chen Xuan had not forgotten her, and she was naturally overjoyed.
"Xiao Xue, where did you go later?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"I..."
Li Meixue was about to speak.
But——
"Sit down!"
An old Taoist nun next to her reprimanded him with a cold face.
"Yes... Master."
Li Meixue said, and then to Chen Xuan, she opened her mouth and mouthed, "Talk later."
Chen Xuan nodded.
He glanced at the old Taoist nun. The old Taoist nun had a pale face, a frosty expression, and heavy bags under her eyes. Just by looking at her complexion, he knew that this old Taoist nun had gone through menopause for too long.
"Tsk, just a menopause old Taoist nun?"
Chen Xuan pouted.
"What did you say?"
The old Taoist nun slapped the table and stood up, grabbing a long sword at her waist and lunging to stab Chen Xuan.
"Good heavens? Can menopause make you so fierce?"
Chen Xuan shouted.
Bang——
Long Zhentian took a step forward, clapped his hands fiercely, and knocked away the old Taoist nun's sword.
"Long Zhentian, what are you doing? Are you going to show favoritism?" the old Taoist nun said angrily.
Chen Xuan was surprised.
The old leader was an official, and this was the territory of the Dragon Soul team. How dare this old Taoist nun question the old leader like this?
Could it be that there was some unspeakable secret between them?
"Divine Nun of the East Sea, I naturally won't show favoritism. Let me introduce everyone, this is my former subordinate, Xuan Doctor War Venerable, named Chen Xuan, the Chen from the Chen family in the capital!"
Long Zhentian said calmly, pointing at Chen Xuan and introducing him.
