Qin Chu looked at Su Mu and did not agree immediately, because he also needed the Spirit Intent Grass. Furthermore, Qin Longxuan and Qin Lingxi had already gathered their people, so it wouldn't be easy for anyone to snatch his Spirit Intent Grass.
"Senior Su, during the Sword Intent eruption period of Heavenly Sword Mountain, many people will enter. This is a competition, a competition for Opportunity, and if I obtain the Spirit Intent Grass, I will need it too!" Qin Chu said. In fact, this was a refusal. Although he respected Su Mu, when it concerned his personal future, he would not yield.
"I know. If you get three or more, how about giving me one?" Su Mu asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"Alright!" Qin Chu thought for a moment and said. Knowing Su Mu was also an Opportunity, and there was no need to turn a good connection into a bad one.
"That settles it then. I will handle the aftermath," Su Mu said, taking a sip of wine.
Qin Chu called the waiter for another jar of wine. After pouring a cup, Qin Chu raised it to Su Mu, "Senior might not know, but I've offended quite a few people recently. If you help me with the aftermath, there will be a lot of trouble."
Su Mu looked at Qin Chu, "You initially refused, which means you're aware of certain things, or even confident in solving them. Later, you agreed, perhaps wanting to give me some Face and forge a good connection. I appreciate this sentiment. What is trouble? Problems that cannot be solved are trouble. Those that can be solved are not."
After drinking a jar of wine with Su Mu, Qin Chu left the tavern.
When Qin Chu left, Su Mu said that if Qin Chu had trouble, he would appear.
After leaving the tavern, Qin Chu walked around the street for a while, then returned to his residence at the Alchemist Guild.
Upon returning to his residence, Qin Chu began to Cultivate in meditation.
Qin Chu didn't want to tell Qin Lingxi and Qin Longxuan about meeting Su Mu, mainly because he didn't want them to worry, and didn't want them to know about the exchange between him and Su Mu. He knew that neither Qin Lingxi nor Qin Longxuan were people who would compromise. They would think Su Mu's actions were unreasonable, but he was very clear that Su Mu's actions were not unreasonable. He didn't know there was someone behind him, and exchanging the Spirit Intent Grass for his safety was justifiable.
Cultivating until evening, Qin Chu left the Alchemist Guild and went to Lin Hanyue's mansion to attend the Lin Family dinner. Lin Hanyue had invited him, and he couldn't refuse to give him Face. He had to acknowledge the goodwill shown by the other party today.
Lin Qing was very happy when Qin Chu arrived, as he hadn't seen Qin Chu for a while.
"Qin Chu, Heavenly Sword City is very chaotic right now, and you've offended people, so you must be careful. Some people are used to being lawless. If they make a move against you, my anger afterwards will be useless; a dead person cannot be brought back to life!" Lin Hanyue said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu stood up and bowed to Lin Hanyue. He was deeply grateful for Lin Hanyue's care. Such words as he spoke today would not be said by ordinary people.
"Sit, sit down and talk! Actually, I originally wanted to recruit you to the Saint Martial Sect, but I've given up now, because I know it's impossible. Elder Lin said you haven't joined the Alchemist Guild, so you probably don't want to be recruited. Being a bit free is good; you won't lack resources. What you lack is self-protection, and you must pay attention to this," Lin Hanyue said to Qin Chu.
"Thank you, City Lord. Qin Chu has noted it," Qin Chu nodded.
"Eat your food. I've already said, when you're at my home, you can just call me uncle," City Lord Lin said to Qin Chu.
After the Lin Family dinner, Qin Chu took the City Lord's carriage back to the Alchemist Guild.
Upon entering the Alchemist Guild, Qin Chu began a new round of Cultivation. Having just entered the seventh level of the Spirit Yuan Realm, he still had a lot of room for improvement.
Standing by the window of the upper floor, watching the moon rise, Shang Shuyu knew that Qin Chu would not appear. In the past, Qin Chu had passed by her inn several times, but he hadn't appeared in the last two days. She was now a bit worried about Qin Chu. Qin Chu was a member of the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan, an object of exclusion for the major Saint Blood Families. If they discovered Qin Chu was from the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan, they would definitely be ruthless.
Shang Shuyu had thought about persuading Qin Chu not to participate in this Heavenly Sword Mountain Sword Intent eruption event, but she knew in her heart that persuasion would be useless; Qin Chu would not retreat.
"Princess!" As Shang Shuyu was thinking, a silver-haired old woman appeared beside her.
"Grandma Yu, you still found me," Shang Shuyu turned and looked at the silver-haired old woman.
"Little Princess, why are you still running away from Grandma? Grandma's thoughts are different from those old guys in the clan. Whatever you say, that's how it will be!" The silver-haired old woman's Face was full of kindness.
"Grandma Yu, Yu'er just doesn't want to cause you trouble!" Shang Shuyu said, looking at the silver-haired old woman.
The silver-haired old woman smiled, "It's alright, no trouble at all."
"Then Yu'er has something to trouble Grandma Yu with," Shang Shuyu said with a smile.
"Little Princess, tell me, Grandma will definitely help you!" Grandma Yu said.
"During the Sword Intent eruption period, I want to enter Heavenly Sword Mountain. This will definitely be discovered by the Family. At that time, can you take me and run? I don't want to go home. If they take me back, they will force me to discuss engagement matters again. I would rather die than marry into the White Tiger Saint Clan," Shang Shuyu said.
"Alright! At that time, Grandma will take you and run. Some time ago, Grandma went to investigate the situation of that merchant hall. He is a bit older, but he is undeniably a character. He is already at the Late Stage of the Heaven Yuan Realm, far stronger than Cultivators of the same age. It's just that he is ruthless in his dealings and stops at nothing," Grandma Yu said.
"I won't marry! No matter what he's like, I won't marry!" Shang Shuyu said, her words resolute!
"If Little Princess says no marriage, then we won't marry," Grandma Yu said with a smile.
Pulling Grandma Yu to sit down, Shang Shuyu poured her a pot of tea, "Grandma, there's one more thing. A Junior Brother of mine has come from Nanyan Continent to Zhongzhou. He will also enter during the Heavenly Sword Mountain Sword Intent eruption period. When he comes out, if he is targeted, Grandma, please take both of us and run."
Grandma Yu looked at Shang Shuyu in surprise, "A Disciple of Qingyun Sect? Ran to Zhongzhou?"
"Yes, it's Qin Chu, the one who comprehended the Sword Spirit Realm. You know him," Shang Shuyu said.
"This little fellow has come. He's really not afraid of death. How many ruthless people have come from all directions to Heavenly Sword City now? His talent is good, but this kind of competition is not something his level can participate in," Grandma Yu said.
"Grandma, this little fellow is very powerful. He's already at the seventh level of the Spirit Yuan Realm, and has reached fifth-level Sword Intent. This time, entering Heavenly Sword Mountain, there are people who can threaten him, but definitely not many," Shang Shuyu said to Grandma Yu.
Grandma Yu's eyes were full of shock. She had stayed in Qingyun Sect and knew Qin Chu, and also knew his situation. She hadn't expected Qin Chu to grow to this level in such a short time.
"Heavenly Sword City is too chaotic now. The Flame Thunder Saint Clan and the White Tiger Saint Clan have been incredibly arrogant since the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan had trouble. They don't even put the Saint Martial Sect in their eyes. This time, something big is likely to happen," Grandma Yu sighed and said.
