nChapter 36

n“It’s been only three months, and I thought that you had only reached the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm. I didn’t expect that… you were already a Qi Sea Realm cultivator!”

nUncle Fu said lamentably.

n“I was lucky and broke through by chance…”

nSu Chen didn’t explain much about his cultivation. Instead, he turned his body sideways and said, “Uncle Fu, this isn’t the right place to talk. Please come in!”

nWhen Uncle Fu heard this, he looked around and nodded. “Alright.”

nHe came to look for Su Chen this time because of something very important. It was indeed not suitable to talk about it outside.

nThe two of them entered the courtyard one after another and sat down at the stone table.

nSu Chen poured a cup of tea for Uncle Fu and asked curiously, “Did anything happen in our family so that you personally came to the Great Mystery Sect this time?”

nUncle Fu shook his head gently when he heard this. “There’s nothing important, but…”.

nAt this point, he paused and looked up at Su Chen. He wanted to open his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.

nIf Su Chen were still a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, he would think it was okay to say that.

nHowever, what he did not expect was that Su Chen had already broken through to the Qi Sea Realm and become an inner disciple of the Great Mystery Sect.

nFor a moment, he didn’t know how to begin.

n“But what? Uncle Fu, please feel free to speak!”

nSu Chen maintained that refined smile.

n“Cough cough cough…”

nUncle Fu gave a little cough and took a sip of his tea. Then, he slowly said, “To tell you the truth, the patriarch sent me here to inform you that they have arranged a marriage for you.”

n“Hmm? Marriage? Is it the legendary plot of breaking off the engagement?”

nThe smile on Su Chen’s face froze when he heard that.

nThat was exactly what involuntarily appeared in his mind:

nWhat a cliché thing! It wouldn’t happen to him, would it?

nAccording to the experience he had gained from reading web novels in his previous life, it wouldn’t be his fault.

nAfter all, his cultivation was still there.

nSince he was not the one to blame, it was very probably the woman who was engaged to him!

n“Well…”

nSu Chen pondered for a moment and asked tentatively with measured words, “Uncle Fu, how’s the cultivation of the lady I’m engaged to? Is she a genius? Oh! Most importantly, has she regressed in her cultivation recently?”

n“Uh… Why did you say that, Eldest Young Master?”

nUncle Fu was confused by Su Chen’s sudden questions, his face twitching.

nHowever, when he thought of Su Chen’s current cultivation, he instantly felt relieved.

nIn his opinion, his Eldest Young Master was so strong that it was normal for him to not fancy ordinary women.

n“The lady engaged to you is the number one genius in Qingyang City. It is said that she has already cultivated to the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm at a young age… There aren’t any signs of regression of her cultivation. I heard that she’s already preparing to break through to the Qi Sea Realm.”

n“Oh, I see…”

nSu Chen looked at Uncle Fu meaningfully.

nWhen he heard the first half of Uncle Fu’s reply, he was still a little worried.

nHowever, he finally felt reassured after hearing the second half.

nAs long as it was not about breaking off the engagement, nothing else mattered!

nAs for the engagement, he did not have any objections.

nAfter all, no one stipulated that there could only be one Dao companion in the fantasy world.

n“Uncle Fu, you could have sent someone over for such a small matter. It’s not worth you coming all the way here personally!”

nSu Chen’s mood couldn’t help but lighten up, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

n“No! This is not a small matter!”

nUncle Fu’s expression gradually became serious when he heard this. He shook his head gently and said in a deep voice, “This is the main affair of your life. I didn’t dare to let a servant make this trip on my behalf. Moreover, I came here for another reason!”

n“Hmm?”

nThe smile on Su Chen’s face froze again. He asked nervously, “Uncle Fu, is there anything else?”

n“The patriarch only decided on the marriage. Right now, we still need you to personally go to Qingyang City!”

n“You want me to go there personally?”

nHearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly, feeling confused.

nDid Heaven insist on giving him a wife?

n“Yes.”

nUncle Fu nodded slightly and opened his palm. A red storage ring appeared in his palm.

nThis red storage ring was very festive.

n“What is this?”

nSu Chen looked at the red storage ring in front of him and asked.

n“The betrothal gift!”

nUncle Fu said slowly.

nSu Chen was not surprised at all.

nWhen Uncle Fu showed him the storage ring, he already knew the answer.

nOther than delivering the betrothal gift, he really could not think of any other reason to go to Qingyang City before getting married and meet his fiancée whom he had never met before!

n“There’s no time to lose. Let’s go now.”

nUncle Fu nodded and followed Su Chen to the entrance of the Great Mystery Sect.

nWhoosh!

nWhoosh!

nTwo streaks of light tore through the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

nThe two of them rode their swords and flew towards Qingyang City.

n…

nIn the void.

n“Uncle Fu.”

nSu Chen stood on the sword and looked at Uncle Fu curiously, asking, “You still haven’t told me the name and family background of the person I’m engaged to.”

nWhen Uncle Fu heard this, he looked upset. He patted his forehead and hurriedly said, “My bad. I have a short memory. It’s my negligence. The person you are engaged to is called Ye Ruxue. She is from the number one family in Qingyang City!”

n“Oh, the number one family, the number one genius… Interesting.”

nSu Chen muttered meaningfully when he heard this.

n“Yes! If it weren’t for Ye Ruxue’s background, we wouldn’t have been united with them by marriage.”

nSu Chen chuckled and did not comment.

nIn his opinion, his marriage had been sacrificed for the family’s interests.

nHe had nothing to say about this.

nHowever, in a marriage alliance, usually, it was the heirs of the two families that got married.

nLogically speaking, the groom should be his younger brother.

nHe had already entered the Great Mystery Sect and became a disciple of the Great Mystery Sect. It was impossible for him to become the head of the Su family.

nIt was really strange that they arranged a person who couldn’t inherit the position of the family head instead of the future family head to marry into another family.

n“Eldest Young Master, you might not know.”

nJust as Su Chen was struggling with the question, Uncle Fu suddenly spoke, as if he had seen through his confusion. He explained, “Although the Ye family is the number one family in Qingyang City, they are now in a period of discontinuity. The sons of the Ye family are born unable to cultivate, but their only daughter has good aptitude. It’s a pity that she’s a woman and can’t take over the Ye family. The Ye family is definitely to decline in the future. Right now, everyone knows that as long as you marry Ye Ruxue, you can easily take over the entire Ye family in the future. Actually, before the Ye family confirmed the marriage alliance with you, many families had already proposed marriage to the Ye family. However, the head of the Ye family rejected them all…”
