Su Chen stood on the terrace and watched the scenery. Behind him, a figure quietly approached. After stopping, he bit his lower lip with a complicated expression.
"It's not like you to hesitate."
Su Chen suddenly spoke out, as if he knew there was someone behind him.
Huang Qiaoqian's delicate body trembled, and her expression became more complicated. She had clearly decided not to ask what she would face in the future, and just face it calmly!
But when she was practicing, she couldn't calm down. What happened made Su Chen and her parents unite to hide it from her.
"What...are you hiding from me?"
Huang Qiaoqian hesitated and asked.
"It's not a big deal."
Su Chen turned around and leaned against the railing. The dusk was wrapped around him like a sacred veil.
"Actually, this matter is related to me."
Su Chen recalled and said, "Do you still remember the 'elixir' that can restore my Dantian?"
Huang Qiaoqian blinked. Of course she remembered that she heard about this elixir from her peers in the master's family. When she came back, she begged her father to find the medicine for her.
"What's wrong? Is it a problem with the elixir?"
Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "No, there is nothing wrong with the elixir."
After a pause, he added: "But the effect is not as good as imagined."
To say it's an elixir is an understatement. It's simply a mixture of various precious herbs mixed together and rolled into balls.
"Actually, you may not have even thought about why those people revealed the information to you when you needed the elixir?"
Su Chen said: "Is it just that you told them about me?"
"When Uncle Huang went to ask for medicine, their true purpose was revealed."
Huang Qiaoqian's heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed deeply, "In other words, I confided in them at that time, but they actually had the idea of framing me?"
"You can say that."
Su Chen nodded. He grew up in an environment of intrigue and intrigue. How many people can have pure thoughts?
I'm afraid that at that time, the Huang family had the idea of marrying with someone, but they were suffering from the lack of candidates, and no one in the Huang family was willing. It just happened that Huang Qiaoqian appeared at this time.
"hateful!"
Huang Qiaoqian looked angry. She regarded them as her sisters, but they treated her like this!
"So what's their plan?"
"Marriage."
Su Chen simply said: "The Huang family plans to let you marry him to stabilize their status."
After hearing this, Huang Qiaoqian understood instantly. No wonder her father, who had returned from asking for medicine, suddenly mentioned the matter between her and Su Chen. At that time, he was just shy and did not notice it.
It turns out that this is the reason why my father tried his best to promote the engagement.
For her happiness, her father and mother would rather bear the punishment of the Huang family!
Thinking of the consequences of this incident, the tip of Huang Qiaoqian's nose felt sour, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. Water mist gathered in her eyes and turned into tears.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She was still too small in front of the giant Huang family.
Seeing Huang Qiaoqian crying, Su Chen frowned and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, "You will become a little cat if you cry."
"Isn't there still me?"
He had already planned to ask the Pharmacist Academy to help them protect their parents.
The Huang family's status is not low, but they also need the assistance of the pharmacist. When weighing the pros and cons, they should not choose to offend the pharmacist academy.
Hearing this, Huang Qiaoqian's mind immediately stabilized. His words had such power and could make people feel at ease.
"Practice, I will go there tomorrow."
While the two were talking, dusk had passed, and there was still a lingering atmosphere in the sky, but there were also a few stars emerging.
"good!"
Huang Qiaoqian nodded, her mind calmed down, and she was able to practice.
…
A night of silence.
In the early morning of the next day, Huang Qiaoqian sent Su Chen to the gate of the school, trying her best to get there before the Huang family took action.
However, before stepping out of the door, there was a burst of dust on the street in front of them, and the sound of horse hooves was tapping continuously.
Hearing this voice, Su Chen's heart sank, and a bad premonition emerged.
Huang Qiaoqian's face also changed slightly, she couldn't be...!
But that’s how reality plays tricks on people.
I saw a group of people coming on horseback with great momentum, and there was one among them, a face they knew well.
Good luck to Huang!
But he was only on the left, and both on the right and at the head were a middle-aged man. The one at the head had an expressionless face, giving people a sense of calmness and authority. It was obvious at a glance that this kind of man was in a high position.
In a blink of an eye, this group of people arrived in front of them.
The leading man looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and a ray of surprise flashed through his indifferent eyes.
"You know I'll be here later?"
He said calmly, "I know what I'm interested in, and I know I'll be waiting here."
Obviously, he recognized Huang Qiaoqian.
After saying that, he moved his eyes to Su Chen and said, "Is this the young Wuzong you mentioned?"
When he said this, his tone rarely fluctuated, which showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
"It's him!"
Huang Ji'an, who was on the left, immediately nodded and said.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man on the right also stared at Su Chen with interest, wanting to see how the young grandmaster who had spread the rumor to most of Lingyun City in such a short period of time was different from the others.
"Young Wuzong, I am very optimistic about you, come and serve me, and I will protect you from glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"
The leading man said with a hint of approval.
He became a martial artist at a young age, and his future achievements are immeasurable. Wouldn't it be a good thing to win over his subordinates and work for him before more people know about it?
Su Chen kept looking at him with indifferent eyes, his aura was extremely calm, giving people the feeling of the depth of the lake, and the air of heaven and earth surrounded his body.
This kind of feeling has never been experienced before when facing Wu Zong. It seems that he has surpassed Wu Zong and achieved the realm of King Wu.
His aura was a little buoyant, he must have just entered King Wu not long ago.
"I reject."
Su Chen's expression was cold, and he was trying to impress people with just worldly possessions? How ridiculous, even if he was promised the position of Emperor of Shu, he would not even look at it.
"Presumptuous, do you know who you are talking to!"
Huang Ji'an immediately shouted loudly: "The person in front of you is the commander of the dynasty!"
"alright."
Huang Pengzhan raised his hand to stop Huang Ji'an from continuing, but at this time, there was already a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Follow me, you can start as an adjutant. Although your official position is from the seventh rank, with accumulated military exploits, you will be promoted to general and admiral one day, just around the corner!"
His words were full of temptation and a glorious future; for an ordinary young man, he might have been overwhelmed by this series of pie.
To be able to hold such an official position above the imperial court would be an honor for one's ancestors, not to mention being a first-grade official, general, or admiral!
Then there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves, and only one appears in a thousand years!
But today, he is destined to hit a wall.
For those who cultivate immortality, worldly things are just a passing cloud.
During the elixir formation period, the life span is three hundred years.
In the realm of martial arts, only the Martial Emperor can have such a long life.
"No need."
Su Chen still refused coldly.
Seeing this, Huang Pengzhan was not upset, but shook his head with regret, "That's all, you are still young and there are many things you don't know."
"In the future, when you understand clearly, you can also go to Huang Mansion in the capital to look for me."
"Today's conditions will always count."
He values Su Chen's potential, so he doesn't mind showing kindness. Even if he knows about Su Chen's relationship with Huang Qiaoqian, he can ignore it.
It's just a promise made when we were young. It is the most fragile and cannot withstand the beating of time.
After saying that, Huang Pengzhan looked at Huang Qiaoqian. In an instant, his eyes suddenly changed, as if he was a different person.
"Huang Qiaoqian, do you know you were wrong!?"
After receiving the notice from the Huang family, I signed a marriage contract with an unknown rural family. How courageous!
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Huang Qiaoqian was just frightened at first, but when she came to her senses she regained her composure, what's so scary!
She stared directly at Huang Pengzhan on horseback with her starry eyes, showing no fear, "On the contrary, the Huang family is so domineering, aren't they afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"snort!"
On horseback, Huang Pengzhan snorted coldly and said with boundless domineering: "Who dares!?"
"The orders of the Huang family are absolute, no one can disobey, no one dares to disobey!"
"Anyone who disobeys will be punished!"
After saying that, he glared and shouted ferociously: "Sinner Huang Qiaoqian, I ask you again, can you plead guilty!!!"
"What's my fault!?"
Huang Qiaoqian asked back, she was not wrong, everything was caused by the Huang family's strength and unkindness.
"Stubborn!"
Huang Pengzhan gave a cold shout and directly pronounced the sentence: "The sinner Huang Qiaoqian, I will capture you today!"
As soon as the words fell, the followers behind him immediately got off their horses and surrounded Huang Qiaoqian.
Huang Qiaoqian's pretty face was slightly condensed, but she didn't feel much pressure. These people were at the level of martial arts masters when observing the fluctuations in their aura.
But one of them has a breath that is far more solid and heavier than the others, and he is clearly in the Wuzong realm.
With her current strength, it would not be a problem to deal with Wu Zong, but she could not be distracted as she would undoubtedly expose her back to those martial artists.
At this moment, a figure that was not strong but felt extremely reliable stood in front of her.
"You are a sinner who keeps your mouth shut, old man, who gave you the right?"
Su Chen opened his mouth, his eyes were terrifyingly calm, as if beneath this calmness, danger was surging.
The horse seemed to feel something and became restless. With a neigh, the horse's front rose high.
Caught off guard, Huang Pengzhan and the other three people who were still on horseback were all thrown off their horses. Although no real damage was caused, it made them lose face.
"brute!"
The very angry Huang Pengzhan stood up, and in a rage, he slapped the horse to death with one palm. The other horses suddenly became quiet, as if they were spiritual, and looked at him in fear.
Not paying attention to the other horses, Huang Pengzhan's eyes were full of coldness and he stared at Su Chen, the murderous intent in his eyes almost condensed into substance. He was the first and the last person who dared him to speak like this!
"What are you still doing?"
Huang Pengzhan's expression was extremely grim, "Get him too!"
"Asshole!"
He changed his mind and planned to capture Su Chen together and torture him day and night! Until he relents and changes his mind to work for him!
