"If you don't want to, you don't have to count."
Huang Qiaoqian suddenly spoke, causing the atmosphere at the dinner table to freeze.
Su Chen looked at her. From those starry eyes, he saw the mist gathering. He couldn't help but feel unbearable in his heart, but he had to be responsible for the future.
Thinking of this, he felt calm again.
Seeing that Su Zhan was about to have an attack, Su Chen said, "You know how this engagement came about. There is no need to abide by such a ridiculous engagement."
"Of course, it's not that I'm unwilling, but we're still young and there's a lot we can't say about the future."
"What should you do if you meet someone you like in the future?"
Huang Qiaoqian responded immediately without any hesitation, "I won't meet you. These years are the best proof!"
In Xifeng Academy, Huang Qiaoqian was known as the goddess of gentleness. Her gentleness was accompanied by alienation, and she treated everyone the same, except Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't say anything more. He looked at Huang Qiaoqian's delicate face, took a deep breath, and said firmly: "Then, please give me more advice in the future!"
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly relaxed. Huang Qiaoqian showed a relaxed smile as if her wish had come true, and her shiny eyes showed softness and affection.
The meal passed in a pleasant atmosphere, and the two of them agreed on the engagement date, which was set on the eighth day of August next month.
After dinner, Su Zhan had something to take care of and left first. The three women gathered together to whisper. Huang Qianyue was obviously worried about something, and he drank one glass after another.
"Uncle Huang, is something wrong?"
Su Chen sat over and noticed while eating that Huang Qianyue was a little absent-minded.
"Why."
Huang Qianyue glanced at Huang Qiaoqian, and then whispered to Su Chen: "Xiao Chen, I will leave Qian'er to you."
"If...I mean if, if something happens to the Huang family, you must take good care of Qian'er!"
Su Chen's heart trembled. Hearing this tone, it was obvious that he meant Tuogu.
This makes sense. Why did she choose to get engaged at this time? Age is probably just the reason.
"Uncle Huang, what happened?"
Su Chen asked.
"You promise me first, no matter what happens, you must take good care of Qian'er!"
Huang Qianyue looked directly at him and said with great solemnity.
"Uncle Huang, I promise you, no matter what happens, I will do my best to take good care of Qian'er!" Su Chen solemnly promised.
"..."
Huang Qianyue looked directly into Su Chen's eyes, trying to see something from these eyes, but there was only determination in these eyes!
"Good boy, I saw you right!"
After looking directly at Su Chen for a long time, Huang Qianyue raised his hand and patted Su Chen on the shoulder, saying happily: "It's not in vain that I go to the master's house to get the precious elixir for repairing the Dantian for you."
The head of Huang Qianyue's family has an extraordinary status in the Shu Kingdom. The current prime minister is the head of the Huang family.
Such a precious medicine that can repair damaged Dantian may only be owned by powerful people of this level.
When Su Chen heard this, his heart was shocked. Give him the elixir! ?
An indescribable emotion came to my heart. The two families were just good friends, but they could do this to someone who was not their biological son. For Su Chen, who has experienced the ups and downs of human relationships and the harshness of the world, this undoubtedly brought a warm spring light into his heart.
If just now, he had inherited the original owner's wishes and said that he would take care of Huang Qiaoqian, then now, he truly accepts it in his heart!
"Speaking of which, that's where things started."
Huang Qianyue continued: "I took Qian'er to attend the annual meeting of the master's family. She inquired about it and learned that the master's family has precious elixirs that can repair the Dantian."
"When he came back, he begged me to get the medicine, and that's how things happened."
Having said this, Huang Qianyue paused and sighed again, "The elixir is about to arrive smoothly, but Qian'er is being targeted by the master's family."
"In order to consolidate the status of the Huang family, political marriage is inevitable. At this time, Qian'er happened to appear."
Huang Qianyue's voice suddenly had a hint of anger, and he said angrily in a low voice: "I want my precious daughter to be a sacrifice, in a dream!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Chen apologetically, "Xiao Chen, don't blame me for coming up with this method. I am destined to be unable to get rid of my master's family, so I can only make her rely on you."
Su Chen pursed his lips, glanced at his mother and the three of them, and seeing that they didn't notice this, he lowered his voice and said, "But Uncle Huang, have you ever thought about it, my father is just the city lord of an accidental land, let alone Name, not even power.”
"How can you resist a prime minister?"
"Moreover, Qian'er was arranged without her knowledge. What's the difference between this and making her a marriage tool?"
"Uncle Huang, you are fooling around." Su Chen felt a headache. If he couldn't do it anymore, he should elope with others.
"Qian'er took a voluntary attitude towards this matter." Huang Qianyue said bitterly. How could he reason with the fact that the daughter he had worked so hard to raise voluntarily fell into the arms of another man, and he had to support her.
"Besides, I rely on you, not Brother Zhan."
"Me?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Me in the future?"
Huang Qianyue nodded. He was interested in Su Chen's martial arts talent. After the Dantian was repaired, it was only a matter of time before he could stand up again with his talent and previous accumulation.
The two chatted for a while, and then Su Chen went back to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed with an open wooden box in front of him.
He took out a brown round pill, and the faint fragrance of herbal medicine suddenly spread over a small area. He put his hands on it and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
"The techniques are shoddy, the materials used are precious, and natural resources are wasted."
Su Chen commented that this so-called elixir is to mix precious medicines in a certain proportion and knead them into round pills.
Apart from being convenient and trouble-free, it has no benefits. It loses a lot of medicinal properties, is difficult to store, and has a short storage period.
Moreover, this medicine only has a certain recovery effect on the Dantian, but cannot completely cure it.
"It seems that my evaluation of this world is still too high." Su Chen smiled sarcastically and said to himself.
The alchemist is a very important person in the civilization of cultivating immortals. His methods can conquer the heaven and earth, and they are all gathered into one pill. The effect is unparalleled, prolonging life, and rejuvenating the youth.
"When I step into the realm of cultivation, I will let the world see what the real elixir looks like!"
Su Chen also knew some basic alchemy skills, but in this world, he was undoubtedly a god.
It just means that you have to enter the realm of cultivation before you can use these methods.
There are three realms of cultivating immortals, namely the Ladder Realm, the Ascension Realm and the Enlightenment Realm. Each realm is divided into different stages. The Ladder Realm is the beginning of cultivation, the Ascension Realm can be called an immortal, and the Enlightenment Realm is the pinnacle of the path to immortality.
Cultivation of martial arts is more direct. It starts with physical training and absorbs Qi as the introduction. From then on, it is named after martial arts, namely martial servant, martial apprentice, warrior, martial artist, martial master, martial ancestor, martial king, martial emperor, martial master, and martial arts master. Saint, Emperor Wu.
If you want to have the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas, you need at least the cultivation of Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu only existed for three hundred years.
The same can be done at the advanced stage of Ladder Realm, and the lifespan is more than a thousand years.
This is not a sense of superiority, but a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the two.
"But the Dantian is almost restored, and this medicine is the icing on the cake." Su Chen smiled casually, then raised his head and swallowed the pill directly.
