You quickly arrived at the Danxia Sect.

Now that you entered Danxia Sect, the guards at the gate no longer stopped you; they all knew you were the savior of the sect leader’s sister and the love remedy for the Seventh Elder.

With great anticipation, you went to Xie Huide’s courtyard, but unfortunately, you only saw Xie Huide and Deng Wanshu—Hu Zhongxuan was nowhere to be found.

What was even more disappointing was that Xie Huide had neither lost an arm nor a leg, nor did his face show any signs of battle scars.

In the courtyard, Xie Huide and Deng Wanshu were… personally chatting.

As they chatted, they couldn’t help but lean in to kiss… and then suddenly saw you walk in.

You swaggered over and sat opposite them, smiling and saying, “Why are only you two here? Isn’t Old Hu supervising you?”

Xie Huide glared and said, “Brother He, what kind of words are those? Wanshu and I are perfectly innocent. What supervision does he need to do?”

You smirked and replied, “Innocent now, maybe. Who can guarantee you won’t be kissing and breaking apart later?”

Xie Huide suddenly got angry and scolded, “Brother He! The more you say such things, the more I like hearing it.”

“Old Xie, you’re really something, taking the chance to enjoy yourself like this.”

You then turned to Deng Wanshu and asked, “Sister Wanshu, where did Old Hu go?”

Deng Wanshu smiled brightly, her voice lively: “Third Brother went back to Yajiangkou.”

You frowned slightly and asked, “Why is Old Hu rushing to Yajiangkou to risk his life again?”

But the two of them didn’t answer, falling into silence.

Logically, since Deng Wanshu had already woken up, Hu Zhongxuan shouldn’t need to stay at Yajiangkou to earn merits for Earth Source. So why did he go back now?

You glanced at the somewhat quiet Xie Huide and Deng Wanshu, suddenly realizing:

“Old Hu must be trying to make way for the two of them!”

This was definitely something Hu Zhongxuan would do. After all, last time during the simulation to obtain Earth Source, he had done something similar.

As long as Deng Wanshu could be happy, Hu Zhongxuan would rather stay under a car for a lifetime.

Xie Huide and Deng Wanshu obviously understood Hu Zhongxuan’s meaning behind this move, naturally realizing how painful this choice was for him.

Although Xie Huide and Hu Zhongxuan were rivals over Deng Wanshu, besides that, they had been the closest sworn brothers since childhood, the only difference being they were not born from the same mother.

Regarding Hu Zhongxuan’s pain, Xie Huide also felt uncomfortable and had no intention to take advantage of the situation.

So, for now, even if Hu Zhongxuan seemed to be partially withdrawing, the entanglement between these three would not settle so easily.

As for Deng Wanshu herself, there was no perfect solution. If she really made a choice, she would inevitably hurt the other person.

You can’t really say you take odd days, I take even days, and let Deng Wanshu rest on Sundays.

This matter was just that twisted and complicated.

That was why when Xie Huide and Deng Wanshu talked about this topic, their moods were heavy, and they both fell silent.

Seeing the atmosphere grow heavy, you could only forcibly lighten the mood by teasing their relationship: “Well, I think Old Hu and Old Xie—one handling outside affairs, the other inside—letting Sister Wanshu be your overall girlfriend sounds pretty good!”

The two of them looked at you in surprise, not knowing what nonsense you were babbling about.

You had intended to break the deadlock, but only made it worse.

Luckily, Deng Rusong arrived just then.

Even before entering the courtyard, Deng Rusong loudly called out: “Wanshu, Huide, I’ve already sent a letter to Zhixue. This month… huh? Young Master He is here too!”

Deng Rusong noticed your slight surprise.

You also heard a familiar name—Yan Zhixue.

You recalled that at this point in time, Deng Rusong and Yan Zhixue had not yet gotten involved with each other.

So how was it that now Deng Rusong was already sending letters to express affection and arranging to spend the month together to have a big fat son named Deng Xiaosong and a big fat daughter named Deng Xiaoxue who would grow up and leave, and they would each go their separate ways; he wrote letters, she didn’t reply—just like that?

You forcibly suppressed the melody playing in your heart from bursting out.

You asked, “Sect Leader Deng, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but it sounds like you wrote a letter to a woman?”

Deng Rusong did not hide it and said solemnly, “Young Master He, I inadvertently offended an Ultimate Grandmaster before, and now I am asking the Extermination Sect’s Leader Yan for help to make a connection. I want to personally go apologize!”

You frowned and asked, “Which Ultimate Grandmaster did you offend?”

“The Palace of Ten Thousand Dreams Sect leader, Shangguan Gousheng!”

You raised an eyebrow—what a coincidence! You also had an alternate identity as Palace of Ten Thousand Dreams Sect leader Shangguan Gousheng, exactly the same without a single difference.

“Sect Leader Deng, how did you offend him? I have some friendship with Brother Shangguan; maybe I can help a little.”

Deng Rusong was shocked: “Young Master He, do you really mean that?!”

“Of course! Actually, Brother Shangguan and I are like brothers, as close as twins.”

Deng Rusong and the others looked at you in astonishment, never imagining you had connections to such a high-level Ultimate Grandmaster.

Your family background was becoming more and more unfathomable.

Deng Rusong’s expression brightened as he hurriedly explained the situation to you.

It turned out that last time you used the Shangguan Gousheng identity to come test the Nuo Opera Masks.

Deng Rusong had secretly grumbled about you a bit, but since you had compensated with pills, he hadn’t minded.

However, recent rumors said Shangguan Gousheng’s power was absolutely supreme, ranking in the top three among all Ultimate Grandmasters.

Moreover, Shangguan Gousheng was arrogant and petty—like snatching the Emberhawk raised by Kong Ling for years in the Beast Taming Sect without asking.

Even the monk Mingjue once got slashed by him without saying a word.

All these rumors made Deng Rusong very worried, so he hurriedly sent a letter to the Palace of Ten Thousand Dreams to apologize again.

But since you hadn’t been at the Palace for months, naturally, there was no reply.

Deng Rusong grew even more fearful, thinking Shangguan Gousheng refused his apology, so he began seeking other Ultimate Grandmasters’ connections to contact you.

But since you weren’t at the Palace, no matter who Deng Rusong contacted, it was useless.

He assumed the people he reached out to lacked enough influence, so he decided to find Yan Zhixue, a powerful top Ultimate Grandmaster, to deliver the letter and see if he could get in touch with Shangguan Gousheng.

Deng Rusong believed this was just business and didn’t break his promise to his father.

But you knew this might become the beginning of Deng Rusong and Yan Zhixue rekindling their relationship.

After all, two people who already secretly admired each other, now forced into frequent official contact—who knew which five-star inn they might end up in?

In other words, because of your Shangguan Gousheng identity, Deng Rusong and Yan Zhixue might get involved even earlier than last time during the simulation.

You decided that if Yan Zhixue started frequenting Danxia Sect, you would also come by often.

Just in case Yan Zhixue had a cold, beautiful, and somewhat adorable female disciple.

After Deng Rusong finished telling you all this, you waved your hand: “Sect Leader Deng, it’s all trivial. Let me write a letter, and you can take my calligraphy to the Palace of Ten Thousand Dreams to explain the situation.”

Xie Huide turned around and brought out ink and brush for you.

You took the brush and with vigorous strokes, you splashed ink and sweated as you wrote several crooked big characters—“Danxia Sect, I’ve got your back, got it?”
