nChapter 43: Was Everything an Illusion?

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

n“A mere Lin family is nothing.”

nSu Chen smiled and waved his hand. He did not seem to care about what had just happened.

nIn fact, it was true.

nHe was backed by the Great Mystery Sect and the Su family!

nAlthough the combined forces of the two parties were not enough for him to rule the entire East Barrens, he was the only one who had a unique background within a radius of ten thousand miles.

n“Uncle Ye!”

nSu Chen seemed to have recalled what just happened and said again, “1 heard that your daughter, Ye Ruxue, is virtuous and beautiful. Today, I’m here on my parents’ orders to deliver the betrothal gift! 1 hope Uncle Ye will grant my wish!”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Fu, who was standing at the side, took a step forward, holding a tray with both hands. On it was a red storage ring. He handed it to Ye Canghai.

n“Hahaha…”

nYe Canghai laughed out loud at this scene. With a smile, he said, “Nephew, you don’t need to do so. Our two families are old friends, there’s no ceremony between us.”

nSu Chen said with a smile, “This is what I should do.”

n“Alright, your offer is too good to refuse, 1’11 accept it!”

nYe Canghai nodded and did not continue to be polite.

nHe also understood that these formalities were essential.

nAfter the betrothal gift was given, this marriage was finally determined.

nThe next step was to exchange the marriage certificates!

nOf course, Su Chen had no say in the matter of exchanging marriage certificates. It had to be decided by the elders of both sides.

nIn his previous life, Su Chen and Ye Ruxue’s marriage did not succeed because they did not exchange their marriage certificates. Naturally, the wedding could not be held.

nOver time, as Ye Ruxue’s strength grew stronger, their marriage was completely shelved.

nSoon after.

nThe two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Ye Canghai arranged for someone to take Su Chen and Uncle Fu away.

nThis was exactly what Su Chen wanted.

nHe was prepared to cultivate the black-level upper-rank God Walking Steps to small attainment before the inner sect test.

nNight fell.

nAfter dinner, Su Chen strolled aimlessly in the backyard of the Ye family.

nHe seemed to walk slowly, but each step he took had a unique landing point.

nAfter an hour, Su Chen finally stopped and let out a sigh.

nIt had to be said that the Ye family was indeed the number one family in Qingyang City. Their mansion was truly huge!

nHe used the black-level upper-rank God Walking Steps to walk around for an hour, but he still could not finish navigating the whole place.

nAt this moment, he had also officially reached the introductory level of God Walking Steps.

n“Hmm? No! Why did I hear my name?”

nSu Chen moved forward again.

nSuddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the wall beside him.

nHe heard someone mention his name behind this wall.

nSu Chen flew into the air and looked down at the scene on the other side of the courtyard wall.

nBeside a small lake, two women, one sitting and one standing, were talking.

n“Who are they? How do they know my name?”

nSu Chen frowned slightly at the scene.

nHe landed on the ground again and searched the surroundings. Soon, he found the path to the small lake.

nSu Chen walked toward the lake without hesitation.

nAt the same time.

nIn a small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

nXiao Yu stood beside Ye Ruxue and was chattering non-stop.

n“Miss, did you notice how powerful Young Master Su is today? He injured the Lin family’s Revered Elder without moving! 1 heard from All Da that the Lin family’s Revered Elder is a Level Seven Qi Sea Realm cultivator! Miss, do you know what a Level Seven Qi Sea Realm cultivator is? I heard that he could be ranked in the top ten among all the Lin family’s revered elders! However, Young Master Su defeated him without even moving! How powerful do you think Young Master Su is? What realm do you think Young Master Su is at? Miss, are you listening to me? Miss?”

nXiao Yu suddenly raised her voice in her last sentence.

nYe Ruxue immediately came back to her senses and asked blankly, “Hmm? What did you just say?”

nXiao Yu was speechless.

n“Miss, what’s wrong? You have been absent-minded since you came back at noon. Tell me, are you thinking about Young Master Su?”

nXiao Yu giggled as she leaned over and stared at Ye Ruxue.

n“Eh…”

nYe Ruxue nodded perfunctorily.

nIn a little while, her mind was elsewhere again and she did not hear what Xiao Yu was saying at all.

nHowever, Xiao Yu’s words hit the nail.

nShe had been thinking about Su Chen all afternoon.

nIt wasn’t because of anything else, but mainly because she was extremely puzzled and curious…

nAccording to her memories from her previous life.

nEverything about Su Chen today was too abnormal. It was as if he had changed into a different person!

nEverything about him changed other than his body shape.

nEven his temperament had become completely different.

nThough Su Chen was also gentle and refined in her previous life, now his entire body was emitting an irresistible charm that attracted her at all times.

nThis was something that Su Chen did not have in his previous life.

nThe most important thing was Su Chen’s cultivation!

nLogically speaking, he should have just entered the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!

nHow could he defeat a Level Seven Qi Sea Realm cultivator in an instant?

n“Are my memories from my previous life all illusions?”

nYe Ruxue started to question the meaning of her life.

nShe had just been reborn for less than a day, but everything she experienced was different from her previous life.

nThis made her suspect that everything in her previous life was just a dream.

nHowever, the memories of ten thousand years in her mind kept reminding her that everything in her previous life was real and not a dream.

n“Regardless of whether everything that happened today was caused by my rebirth, at the very least, one thing is certain. The story of my previous life has begun to develop in a completely different direction! In other words, the opportunities in my previous life are very likely to appear early, and the opportunities that originally belonged to me may no longer happen to me!”

nThinking of this, Ye Ruxue became extremely anxious.

nThe reason why she was able to skyrocket in cultivation in her previous life was inseparable from the opportunities she obtained along the way.

nAlthough some of the opportunities in this life had become dispensable to her, since some of the opportunities were passed on to her through memories, and those opportunities were all in her mind, there were still some opportunities that could change her physique and increase her strength!

nThis was what she needed the most right now.

nIn her eyes, this body’s aptitude was too poor, and its foundation was weak. It was simply unable to withstand the cultivation methods in her memory.

nTherefore, she had to get her hands on those opportunities!

n“Xiao Yu!”

nYe Ruxue snapped back to her senses and flipped her hand. A piece of paper with groves of words appeared in her palm.

nShe handed it to Xiao Yu and instructed, “Go to the medicine storehouse now and see if you can find these medicinal herbs. If you can’t find them, go to the market to buy them! Remember, you have to be fast!”

n“Ah… Yes, Miss.”

nAlthough Xiao Yu was very confused, she still nodded and took the paper.

nShe recognized many of the herbs on the list, but she couldn’t understand them when they were put together.

nWithout thinking too much, Xiao Yu turned around and walked toward the Ye family’s medicine storehouse.

nHowever, before she had gone far, she suddenly stood where she was and shouted in surprise, “Young Master Su! How did you find this place?”

n
