"Old Man?" Qin Chu, who was playing with the little golden claw, was surprised to see the Black Prison Master. He had thought the Black Prison Master wouldn't come.
"You thought I wouldn't come, right? I've raised you for over ten years; there's no reason for me not to come when I know you're getting married," the Black Prison Master said, looking at Qin Chu.
After inviting the Black Prison Master to sit, Qin Chu brewed a pot of tea. "Old Man, I heard you were injured. Is the problem not serious?"
"Not serious, but this situation also indicates the severity of the situation. For a period in the future, the Saint Martial Continent will be turbulent. You just need to take care of yourself; don't worry about other things," the Black Prison Master said after taking a sip of tea.
Knowing that the Black Prison Master's injuries weren't severe, Qin Chu felt much more at ease. He then discussed the details of being captured by Shang Ruoyu, mentioning being bitten by two highly lustful venomous snakes, and then having relations with Shang Ruoyu. He also confessed about their subsequent interactions. Qin Chu learned about the two snakes from Shang Ruoyu.
It could be said that Qin Chu revealed everything, both what he should and shouldn't have said.
"I really want to kick you a couple of times. When did you learn to think with your lower body? But things haven't reached an irreversible point yet! Shang Ruoyu no longer targets you and has helped you a few times, which indicates she has feelings. Otherwise, if you had ill intentions those two times, she would have dealt with you so severely that you couldn't even take care of yourself," the Black Prison Master glared at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu could only listen to the Black Prison Master's reprimand. The Black Prison Master had the grace of raising and educating him. Not to mention a reprimand, even if he were kicked, he would have to stand firm.
"Are you worried that I will be unfavorable to her? I won't do that. As long as she abides by the rules of the Saint Martial Continent, then everything is negotiable. I think for the sake of those feelings in her heart, she won't go out of line again, after all, she doesn't want to leave the Saint Martial Continent," the Black Prison Master said after looking at Qin Chu.
"Old Man, with your attitude, I'm relieved. I was really worried about causing some irreparable trouble," Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief. He would meet Shang Ruoyu later and just remind her.
"I will no longer target Shang Ruoyu, but you must be good to Shang Shuyu. As men, no matter what, we must not lack responsibility," the Black Prison Master said.
Qin Chu stood up and bowed to the Black Prison Master. He took every word of the Black Prison Master's earnest teachings to heart.
"Also, your parents will not attend your wedding, but some items have been brought over. I will give them to you at an appropriate time," the Black Prison Master said, looking at Qin Chu.
Upon hearing news of his parents, Qin Chu's face was filled with shock, as this was too unexpected for him.
"I know the person who saved your father back then; I knew him before. He is a rather eccentric person who places great importance on Karma and Opportunity. He was on the Saint Martial Continent seeking Opportunity, so he didn't want too much Karma entangled with him. Back then, he saved your father, which was equivalent to saving a dead man, so your father could no longer influence the structure of the Saint Martial Continent. Your father saving your mother was a matter of marital ethics, so that person couldn't say anything. After saving your mother, they left the Saint Martial Continent," the Black Prison Master said.
"They left without even looking at me or meeting me. They're really at ease!" Qin Chu exhaled. The news was good news, but it was also quite cruel to him.
"They know you're alive and that the Vermilion Bird Saint Clan has risen again, so there's nothing to worry about. You need to know that no one's growth can be smooth sailing. Unlucky people can even be struck by lightning and die in the rain. Your path is your own; they cannot walk it for you. What I regret is that the Saint Martial Continent has lost two exceptionally talented Cultivators," the Black Prison Master explained for Qin Zhanye and Zhen Xueyan.
"I understand. As long as they are well, nothing else matters," Qin Chu said.
"Town Prison Fist is one of my unique skills. You must practice it well and not disgrace me," the Black Prison Master instructed Qin Chu, then directly entered Qin Chu's room to rest. He had no need for politeness with Qin Chu.
After a moment of quiet, Qin Chu went to another room to rest. All the news he received today was good, even if his parents were a bit unkind.
After Cultivating all night, Qin Chu left early and went to the inn, where he met Shang Ruoyu.
Currently, the inns in Heavenly Sword City were bustling, but the inn where Shang Ruoyu was staying was very quiet because Shang Ruoyu had rented most of it.
"Qin Chu, you're getting married. You're not here to break up with me, are you?" Shang Ruoyu said with a smile, looking at Qin Chu.
Looking at Shang Ruoyu in her light purple gown, Qin Chu was a little distracted. Although he had truly possessed her several times, he was still momentarily captivated by Shang Ruoyu's temperament and beauty.
"Can we break up?" Qin Chu said after sitting down.
"What do you think? Can you bear to?" Shang Ruoyu's face was full of smiles, and her smile was like a spring breeze that could reach one's heart.
"Old Man, that is, the Black Prison Master, has arrived in Heavenly Sword City. I had a talk with him. If you don't harm the Saint Martial Continent, he won't be unfavorable to you. Can you please not do anything out of line?" Qin Chu said, looking at Shang Ruoyu.
Shang Ruoyu looked at Qin Chu with her beautiful eyes, then sighed softly, "Qin Chu, you make me feel a little guilty. You talked to him for me, didn't you? You're very afraid he'll harm me."
"Yes, I'm afraid! So, will you please abide by the rules of the Saint Martial Continent?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Shang Ruoyu.
"I will. I won't make things difficult for you, mainly because I don't want to leave the Saint Martial Continent. However, you also need to know that I, Shang Ruoyu, am not someone to be bullied by others. If others bully me, I won't be polite either," Shang Ruoyu said.
Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "You also have a gentle, tender side. Are the men of your Nether Martial Continent all fools? Letting a woman like you go, with no one to marry her?"
Shang Ruoyu rolled her eyes at Qin Chu in annoyance, "You're the fool. What does this have to do with the men of the Nether Martial Continent? It's that I wasn't willing. You should also be glad, if I had feelings or a man in the past, you would have been dead."
Qin Chu stopped talking. If it were truly as Shang Ruoyu said, and she had a man in the past and he had taken advantage, it wouldn't have ended like this; it would have been a fight to the death.
"Go back! We can't act recklessly anymore. You're getting married soon; you should at least show some respect to Shang Shuyu," Shang Ruoyu said, looking at Qin Chu, and started to dismiss him.
Nodding at Shang Ruoyu, Qin Chu got up and left. Things had progressed to this point, and it could be said that everything was relatively smooth. The Black Prison Master would not act against Shang Ruoyu, nor would other Saint Martial Enforcers. Of course, if Shang Shu Tianye found out about his relationship with Shang Ruoyu, he would definitely go mad.
