Chapter 207: Victims of the Battle between the Great SectsJin Shen's tone and intonation of voice were very direct. When a superior talks to someone of lower status than himself, he naturally won't have too many concerns. Speaking directly is, of course, a normal thing. “The elders have already given our family so many land deeds, so there is no need to spend any more money. As for Junior Sister Jin, I will naturally keep some distance from her." Jin Shen nodded and didn't say any more about his daughter. Putting these things aside, Jin Shen actually thinks Su Chen is pretty good. He has a handsome appearance and a dignified appearance. Know the importance of your words and be polite in your conversation. If she was just a girl from the Jin family's side branch, he would even support her marrying Su Chen.
But now, she is his, Jin Shen’s daughter, so that is really not possible. After chatting for a while, he learned that Su Chen was going to the capital to attend a rally, and Jin Shen helped arrange a luxurious carriage. The two returned to the pharmacy and saw lights already on in the surrounding streets. In Jiang'an City today, this business has to be done until night. There was also a middle-aged woman in silk clothes in the drugstore, whose features were somewhat similar to Jin Yue's. Su Chen guessed that she should be Jin Yue's mother. After paying his respects to her, he left with A Niang and his younger sister. Looking at Su Chen's back, the middle-aged woman frowned slightly, then looked at Jin Shen. "This child looks pretty good. Although his family background isn't that great, isn't everything else pretty good? Our daughter has good taste.” Hearing his wife's comments, Jin Shen pursed his lips and shook his head. “What do you know about women’s opinions? How can you be so casual about finding a husband? She is my daughter, Jin Shen, and her husband must be a young man who has accomplished something and has some reputation." On the side, Jin Yue's mother spoke again. “I heard that Su Chen is becoming more and more respected in Tiangang City? He made countless contributions on the front lines and also performed exceptionally well in Tiangang City. Now they have all been included in the list of direct disciples. In fact, I have accomplished something. If Yue Er really likes him, then it’s fine.”
Hearing his wife's words, Jin Shen rolled his eyes at her. “When you see people and things, you need to know their essence. It seems that Su Chen has gained some fame now. But do you know the secret behind it?" Hearing Jin Shen's words, Jin Yue's mother showed a trace of doubt on her face and shook her head. "Do you really think that Su Chen's current fame is due to his own strength and ability?" “Any other reasons?” Jin Shen took his wife upstairs and explained to her as they walked. "Anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that the reason why Su Chen was able to gain all that fame was essentially due to the instigation of Tiangang City." "Su Chen is a disciple of Tiangang City. It's not surprising that Tiangang City has made his sect's disciples famous." Seeing that his wife still didn't understand, Jin Shen couldn't help but sigh. "Then did you know that Su Chen was a disciple of the Yunyang Sect before he came to Tiangang City? His current fame was actually deliberately promoted by Tiangang City. Look, this year the people of the Great Zhou are mostly disparaging the Yunyang Sect. Many young people actually want to give up the Yunyang Sect and go to Tiangang City to study. If we grasp the core interests of everything, we will be able to see through the essence of it.” After Jin Shen explained this, his wife seemed to finally understand. “Tiangang City is actually using him to promote its own sect’s capabilities. Su Chen was not valued in the Yunyang Sect and was even driven away. But when he arrived in Tiangang City, he was able to become a personal disciple. With this comparison, the ability of Yunyang Sect and Tiangang City to train disciples is clearly different. "Hearing this, Jin Yue's mother also fell silent. “And judging from the casual conversation just now, Su Chen doesn’t know that he is a pawn being used. He probably thought that he was quite strong and had outstanding abilities. Arrive at Tiangang City and ascend to heaven in one step." While speaking, Jin Shen seemed to think of Su Chen again and shook his head unconsciously. "In order to make these things seem credible, Tiangang City did not tell him the real secrets behind them. I just don't know how long he will be deceived. What will it be like when the truth is revealed?"
"If so. Then let’s forget about the relationship between Yue Er and him.” After hearing this, Jin Yue's mother said nothing else. Having excellent appearance is indeed an advantage. But in this world, this advantage doesn't mean much. “If he could keep his mind steady when he learned the truth, he might be able to do something. But if he can't bear it and his character becomes corrupted, he will never recover. A victim of the fight between two great sects, pitiful." Jin Shen's expression showed a lot of regret and pity. In the eyes of the couple, Su Chen might have a mental breakdown at any time. The current reputation is just a charity from Tiangang City and is meaningless. “The Yunyang Sect has been trying to find a way to clarify this recently, and they will definitely make a fuss about him. There is a high probability that he will not be able to avoid the rally in Beijing this time. Yue'er is too close to him. If the truth is exposed, Yue'er and our Jin family will be embarrassed. When the time comes, do you want this son-in-law or not?" The couple looked at the direction Su Chen left, and there seemed to be no suspense about what to choose. "As for Yue'er, you can arrange for her brothers and sisters to go and persuade her. In order to avoid Su Chen keeping a distance from her, she would get closer to him more rebelliously. How to persuade her and what means to use, let her brothers and sisters decide for themselves. We won't get involved. So that we as parents won’t be blamed later.” After leaving the pharmacy, Su Chen looked at his mother and younger sister's expressions, which were both slightly ugly. Cannibals are soft and short. The current conditions at home were all provided by the Jin family. Facing Jin Shen, although A Niang and Xiao Mei guessed that he was looking for Su Chen, it was definitely not to say anything good. But it seems that I don't have the confidence to refute it. On the way, Su Chen told some jokes, trying to make the two of them happy. But both A-niang and Xiao-mei seemed to be very uncomfortable with what had just happened. He only responded occasionally, and there was no trace of the joy he had when he first went out.
"Mother, why don't you and my younger sister live in Tiangang City together. Now that I have become a direct disciple, it doesn’t take much effort for me to set up a property in Tiangang City. In Tiangang City, I can see you every day. I don’t have to go home every few months like I do now.” When she heard about moving, A Niang frowned unconsciously. But today, she did not refute immediately. In the past, her family was poor and she was reluctant to leave, but now she has become more open-minded. "Tiangang City is not far from here, and we can come back anytime during holidays. It's not like you will be locked up in Tiangang City once you get there." Su Chen continued to persuade him. After hearing this, A Niang was really shaken. Although she now lives in a fine mansion, she still doesn't feel as comfortable as before. (End of this chapter)
