"But right now, we have a chance … or to be more precise, you have a chance!" Hong Zhu said solemnly, "As long as you're willing to help open the secret passage to the cultivation world, you'll have a chance to raise your strength to a higher realm before that happens. You might even become a Venerable expert. I believe you understand what it means to become a Venerable expert, right?"
"Of course I understand. Once I become a Martial Honor, I will have a greater chance of finding Xiao Chen." Shen Jingxuan nodded. After pondering for a moment, she asked doubtfully, "But there are still some things I'm not very clear about. Firstly, why am I the only one who can open the secret passage?"
"Actually, I don't know much about the cultivation world. I only know that my clan has always emphasized that only young women with spiritual energy can successfully open the door to the cultivation world." Hong Zhu paused for a moment, then added, "But because no one has ever tried this method before, there may be risks involved. Of course, there is also a chance that nothing will happen. No one knows for sure."
"So that's how it is. Then what do you mean by becoming a Martial Venerable?" Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly and asked again, "And from what you've said, it doesn't seem like there's a one hundred percent chance of success?"
"If you agree to open the passage, I will send you to a secret realm in the inner martial arts world in advance." Hong Zhu continued to explain, "This secret realm is called the Martial Honor Secret Realm and it only opens once every few years. Not long from now, it will be the day it opens. You can quickly cultivate in this secret realm and attempt to break through to the Martial Honor realm. Of course, there may also be risks during this period, so I want you to make this decision yourself. "
After saying that, Hong Zhu sighed softly. Since he had already chosen not to hide anything, he might as well tell Shen Jingxuan everything he knew and let her make the decision.
In Hong Zhu's view, opportunity and risk always coexisted. If Shen Jingxuan was willing to participate, he could send her to the Venerate Secret Realm to cultivate. If she did not agree, he would have no choice but to find another suitable candidate.
If he really could not find anyone, then Hong Zhu would have to go himself!
"So that's how it is … If I can break through to the Martial Venerable Realm, I might be able to find Xiao Chen and save him from his enemies …" Shen Jingxuan murmured. She had mixed feelings in her heart.
Recalling everything that Xiao Chen had done for her and the Shen Family in the past, Shen Jingxuan could not help but feel a knot in her stomach. Her emotions surged as she stood in the courtyard in a daze. Her white dress fluttered even though there was no wind, outlining her beautiful figure.
She was indeed very eager to increase her strength and go to the inner martial arts world to rescue Xiao Chen. However, she was also very clear that it was just as Hong Zhu had said. If she wanted to quickly increase her strength, she would definitely have to pay a huge price!
Since that was the case, she had to think it through in advance. Shen Jingxuan felt that she was the only person who had a chance to help Xiao Chen at present. If she were to throw her life away because of this matter, then all her previous efforts would have been for naught!
Seeing that Shen Jingxuan had sunk into deep thought, Hong Zhu did not rush her. Instead, he stood quietly to the side and waited. After all, this matter concerned Shen Jingxuan's own safety. She would definitely need some time to consider it.
Hong Zhu did not think that he would be able to obtain an answer immediately, so he had already made preparations. It would not matter even if he had to wait for a few days.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly took a deep breath. She understood very well what the 'risk' that Hong Zhu had mentioned earlier meant. However, to her, Xiao Chen was an existence that surpassed friendship, love, and family. If she chose not to take this risk because she was afraid of failure, she would not be able to forgive herself!
"Alright! I promise you! Then let's go now! "Shen Jingxuan collected her thoughts and agreed without hesitation.
If she were to put herself in his shoes, Shen Jingxuan felt that if Xiao Chen was in her shoes, he would definitely agree without any hesitation! So after thinking it through, she no longer hesitated!
"Ah?! You … you've really thought it through? "Hong Zhu was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked.
She had originally thought that Shen Jingxuan would need some time to consider it. She had not expected her to agree so quickly, so she could not react for a moment.
"Mm, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, I must give it my all! I don't want to leave any regrets in my life. "Shen Jingxuan nodded, her voice gentle but firm.
If Xiao Chen had not helped her so much in the past, she would not have the achievements she had today. Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally had to repay him! Even if her life was in danger, she still had to press forward!
"This … Alright! In that case, you should go and pack up now. I'll first escort you to the Hong Family of the Inner Martial Arts World. After that, I'll listen to Grandpa Patriarch's arrangements, "Hong Zhu nodded as he understood Shen Jingxuan's determination.
"Alright, then wait for me. When the time comes, I'll have to rely on you to stay with the Hong Family!" Shen Jingxuan smiled sweetly, turned around and walked towards her room.
Stunned by Shen Jingxuan's smile, Hong Zhu only regained his senses after a long time.
Looking at her graceful back as she walked away, Hong Zhu secretly said in his heart: Jingxuan, thank you. I admit that I'm a coward, I don't have the courage to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, and I even wanted to push this responsibility onto you. Thank you for agreeing to me. I'll pray day and night that you and the others can safely complete the mission and successfully rescue Xiao Chen!
Early the next morning, Hong Zhu secretly sent Shen Jingxuan to the Hong Family of the Inner Martial World.
She did not report it to Grandfather Patriarch immediately. Instead, she let her reunite with Jin Beibei and the other women. She also specifically told Hong Yingwei to let them stay alone for a few days and report it to the Family Patriarch later.
Jin Beibei and the others were naturally very happy to see Shen Jingxuan. After arranging everything properly, Hong Zhu left silently again and went to the secular world to meet Li Xianer, preparing to continue looking for new women with Spiritual Qi.
While everyone was worried about Xiao Chen, he had already successfully returned to the Jia Family with Xing.
Cheng Mengying and the other women were finally relieved. On one hand, it was because Xiao Chen had returned safe and sound. On the other hand, it was because they had kept it a secret from Jia Musen for a few days. As a result, even Jia Musen was a little suspicious. If Xiao Chen had not returned, they would not have known what excuse they could find to continue deceiving him!
Now that he had returned safe and sound, Xiao Chen did not hide it anymore. He told Jia Musen everything.
"Xiao Chen, you are really something. You actually went to Open Heaven Gate to rescue people alone. How can you be so bold?" After learning that Xiao Chen had gone to Open Heaven Gate, Jia Musen also broke out in a cold sweat. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have sent some people to help you! If something had happened to you, wouldn't I have been scolded by my grandfather? "
