Chapter 53: House Arrest (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
The journey home eventually comes to an end.

Qi Yuan showed his identity token and easily entered the Huangfeng Valley. On the way, he could occasionally hear the disciples talking about him.

What? Senior Brother Qi is so handsome!

I want to treat Brother Qi as my younger brother.

After hearing this, Qi Yuan could only respond with a smile. With his current foundation-building stage cultivation and status as Hong Fu's disciple, he wouldn't need to be too restrained even if he met the sect leader Zhong Lingdao.

What's more, the disciples in the Qi training stage are eager to get close to Qi Yuan to pursue their own interests.

Sect leader Zhong Ling said, maybe they will even lick Qi Yuan in return.

After all, Hong Fu can decide whether he stays in the position or not. If he offends any Jindan stage cultivator in the valley, his days as the sect leader will be over.

After returning to the valley, Qi Yuan naturally planned to pay a visit to his master Hong Fu first, and then go to see Chen Qiaoqian to express their love for each other.

Just think about it for a few days and calm her down.

Hongfu Cave Mansion, Hall.

Qi Yuan walked in with a smile on his face. He saw Hong Fu sitting in the main seat. When he was about to salute, he heard a cold shout...

"Traitor, are you willing to come back? Kneel down before your master."

Qi Yuan was suddenly confused. It seemed that he had not had the chance to make Hong Fu angry during the month he was away, so why was he scolded as soon as he came back?

"I don't know what mistake I made. Please enlighten me, Master."

We are not enemies, so there must be a reason if you want to curse or talk back at me.

Hongfu's originally gloomy face instantly turned into a cold one, and her eyes were like an ice cave that had been there for thousands of years. She looked at her newly accepted disciple with a look of unwillingness to admit her mistakes.

She wanted to stab his heart, but it was the affection for the thousand-year-old elixir that made her suppress her emotions.

A month ago, Hongfu was unable to concentrate on her practice in the retreat room. She wanted to read a book and then go to the bathroom to take a bath, but she didn't expect the smell in the bathroom to be even heavier.

Thinking of Qi Yuan's misbehavior in her retreat room, she naturally became furious and murderous aura surrounded her body.

Finally, you will feel better if you change the furniture from top to bottom.

This was something Qi Yuan could not take into account. Although he cleaned it inside and out several times and diluted the smell to the extreme, the sense of smell in the Jindan stage was more sensitive than that in the foundation-building stage.

As long as there is a little bit of scent left, it will be smelled.

"Kneel down, traitor..."

Dong Xuan'er was standing aside, also showing a bit of fear. Hongfu treated her very well, but she was also ruthless when scolding her.

This left a psychological shadow in her mind since childhood, which she has not been able to overcome until now.

Qi Yuan was also a little frightened. It was the first time he saw Hong Fu angry. After thinking about it over and over again, he couldn't find a good solution. He could only obey her wishes.

When Dong Xuan'er saw Qi Yuan kneeling down with a deflated look, she felt a little proud. Then, she didn't know what she thought of, a hint of touching charm flashed across her charming cheeks. She secretly glanced at her master Hongfu, and when she was not discovered, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Hong Fu's murderous aura was about to reach the critical point, it subsided a little as Qi Yuan gave in. As a master, she would lose face if word got out that her disciple did not obey her.

Fortunately, her disciple knew some etiquette, otherwise she would have a headache. It would not be good after the other person turned against her right after she presented her with a thousand-year-old elixir.

But that matter couldn't be said openly, so he could only say in a cold tone: "Keep me in my room for three months, and don't leave without my order."

Qi Yuan was totally confused, so he suppressed his doubts and followed his master's orders to retreat.

After Qi Yuan left, Hong Fu's face looked much better. She picked up the teacup and sipped it. She noticed Dong Xuan'er standing beside her. She put down the teacup and said, "Xuan'er, do you like Qi Yuan?"

Hong Fu's previous plan was to marry Dong Xuan'er to Qi Yuan. First, their ancestors had some friendship, second, she offered a thousand-year-old elixir, and third, Qi Yuan had a unique opportunity, and he could quickly cultivate the foundation with the five elements of spiritual roots. His previous frivolous habits have improved, and his behavior has become much more stable.

It can be said that everything is going well, but after Hong Fu discovered Qi Yuan's emotional traces, she immediately checked Dong Xuan'er's uterus blood to confirm whether the two had reached the final step.

The result showed that Dong Xuan'er was still a virgin.

This also shows that Qi Yuan has another woman.

Hongfu had suffered from love's pain before, so naturally she preferred the man to be loyal and the two of them to stay together for the rest of their lives.

Dong Xuan'er was suddenly asked by Hongfu about their love affairs. Her thoughts were suddenly stuck and she was unable to answer for a moment, her pretty face drooping with red.

She couldn't tell whether she liked Qi Yuan or not. When she thought about her embarrassing side being drawn by Qi Yuan, she felt so angry that she wanted to take revenge.

But when she was alone and quiet, Qi Yuan's figure touched her heart again, making her smile knowingly, and her mood instantly improved a lot.

"Xuan'er, you..." Hongfu was an experienced person. When she saw the expression on Dong Xuan'er's face, she shuddered and thought to herself that something was wrong. A look of worry appeared on her face, and she held her forehead and sighed.

I was thinking, could it be that I was wrong, and Qi Yuan was actually a playboy who played with women's feelings?

Add to that the top-level secret technique of Thunder, Sun, Clouds and Rain that she had bestowed upon him before, isn't this a disguised form of aiding and abetting the evil?

Although she had never experienced the power of that secret technique, she had a sharp vision. After reading it several times, she realized that it was the nemesis of female cultivators and there were few people in the world who could resist it.

Originally, Qi Yuan was supposed to learn it so that he and Dong Xuan'er would become closer and closer, but she didn't expect Xuan'er to be so useless that she couldn't get what she wanted.

Suddenly, my hatred towards that person increased a little bit. Why did he leave behind such a domineering secret technique?

I'm furious!

It would not be a good idea to sacrifice one's own family for the sake of justice right now. She would observe for a while first. If Qi Yuan used his secret technique to play with the female cultivator, she would definitely stop him.

The stars move and the sun rises and the moon sets.

Although Qi Yuan was under house arrest by Master Hongfu and had no idea why, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he took advantage of his free time to study the formation jade slips left by Xin Ruyin.

Xin Ruyin knew that the senior was not very talented in formations, so when describing it on the jade slip, he did not deliberately create confusion, but instead laid out the whole thing and gave the answer directly.

In terms of breaking the formation, dissolving the formation, and strengthening the formation, each aspect is explained very clearly.

He directly poured valuable knowledge into Qi Yuan's mind, causing his formation skills to improve by leaps and bounds.

Relying on the knowledge of formations he had learned, he could thrive among low-level cultivators as long as he showed a few of his skills.

Although he thought about it, Qi Yuan knew in his heart who was the source of all this, and his desire for Xin Ruyin increased a little.

With such a powerful talent in formation, it would be against the will of heaven not to save him.

A red sound transmission note disappeared into the room.

Qi Yuan looked and saw that it was the sound transmission note from Master Hongfu. He immediately put down the jade slip in his hand and checked the contents inside.

Hong Fu asked him and Dong Xuan'er to participate in the treasure hunt meeting in Yanling Fort on her behalf. Before that, they needed to go to Li Huayuan's cave first.

Is Han Li going to go with them too?
Well, I can buy some Forget Dust Pills from Han Li on the way.

This item is not precious and should not arouse Han Li's vigilance.

Well, if Han Li were given the Forget Dust Pill one day, I wonder what would happen?
Qi Yuan interrupted his thoughts, changed into clean clothes, and flew out as a ray of light.
