Chapter 272 Jin Yue: "See you later."At home, my mother and younger sister were already waiting for me. The family sat at the table, having not eaten together for a long time. My little sister has grown a lot in the past few months. She still looked like a child last year. I have lost a lot of weight this year, like I'm transforming from a girl to a woman. Su Chen could also feel that his younger sister liked dressing up more now. "Has anything major happened in Tiangang City during this period?" While eating, Su Chen asked this question. Although I had heard a lot from Master Shangxuan about the recent situation in Tiangang City and related matters. But Su Chen knew very well that the big things in the eyes of Master Shangxuan and others were completely different from the big things that A Niang and others saw. Hearing this, A Niang also started talking.
The prices of some things have gone up, and some things had a good harvest last year and are of great quality. The important things that A Niang mentioned were food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the view of Elder Shangxuan and others, these should be unimportant matters as long as they do not cause unrest. But in the eyes of ordinary people, these are big things. Su Chen listened to what A Niang said, and listened very carefully. It was the little sister next to them who couldn't help but interrupt. “Brother is now so valued by the Tiangang City sect, and all they care about are major events that affect the safety of the entire city. Mom, I have no interest in listening to what you are saying." A'niang seemed to feel that what she said was inappropriate. After a pause, she suddenly remembered something related to Su Chen. "Xiao Chen, Jin Yue is leaving Tiangang City in early April." "She is the daughter of the next head of the Jin family. It is normal for her to leave Tiangang City and return to the Jin family." Su Chen didn't find it strange when he heard this. But A Niang, who was standing next to her, had a serious expression on her face. “Some of them are saying that the Jin family doesn’t approve of her getting too close to a certain disciple. I feel like this might have something to do with you, Xiaochen. During the months when you were away from Tiangang City, Jin Yue often came to help. A little closer to us. Is it because of these that they were taken over by the Jin family?" Ah Niang spoke softly. In fact, she knew it in her heart, but when she asked, she still used a doubtful tone.
"Maybe." Su Chen suddenly remembered what Master Shang Xuan had said before, which was probably about Jin Yue. The Jin family has a very good relationship with Tiangang City. If Jin Yue suddenly wants to leave, he must tell the sect’s top leaders to avoid misunderstandings. The Jin family has never approved of me and is worried that their daughter will get too close to me. This kind of thing is very consistent with what they can do. It's just that although I clearly didn't have those thoughts, the Jin family still misunderstood me like that. "Our Xiaochen is now increasingly valued by Tiangang City. The Jin family looks down on us, but we look down on them. It's a pity that Jin Yue is a pretty good kid. I, your younger sister, have also learned a lot of etiquette from Jin Yue. Look at her now, she can be called graceful and elegant." Although my mother often scolds my younger sister, she is her daughter after all. She has gotten better, and as a mother, I am happy. After hearing this, Su Chen finally reacted. It turns out that Jin Yue was the one who taught my little sister all these changes. In fact, there are many things that are difficult for my mother to say because she is old. I am a man, so I have different ideas about some things, and there are also differences between men and women. They can indeed have a better conversation with the young woman Jin Yue. Some lessons learned were more acceptable to her younger sister who was guiding her. The sky was gradually getting dark, and Su Chen actually wanted to go find Jin Yue to talk. But going at night would probably attract more gossip. After dinner, Su Chen rested in the yard. The servants in the courtyard came to inform that Su Chen did not go to find her, but Jin Yue came on her own initiative, right at the gate of the courtyard. Hearing this, Su Chen walked out quickly. Outside the courtyard gate, a woman was standing not far away. Su Chen looked at Jin Yue, her expression seemed very She seemed happy to see Su Chen, but there was some resentment hidden in her eyes. Looking at her whole body, she seems a little lonely. "I just heard that you are back, Senior Brother Su." Jin Yue spoke softly, but there was something hidden in her words, and it was obvious that she had a lot to say. "I arrived at Tiangang City after noon and haven't greeted other fellow disciples yet." Su Chen also replied.
The two of them talked and chatted about random things. "I will leave Tiangang City the day after tomorrow. If there is nothing special, I probably won't come to Tiangang City again." "I heard about it too. Are you going back to the Jin family?" “Well, our Jin family is an elixir family after all, so we still have to focus on the way of elixir. There will be a Danyao Tian Exhibition next month, and my family asked me to go back, so I can go and broaden my horizons." Su Chen nodded. I had thought of some words before, some words of comfort. But now that I thought about it, I felt that it was not appropriate to say it out loud. Standing in front of the courtyard gate, both of them were silent. After a while, Jin Yue spoke again. “Senior Brother Su’s talent and potential are actually far better than many people think. They don’t understand, but I do.” “It’s not as good as you say.” Su Chen smiled, and spoke with a hint of modesty. "Perhaps it is because you, Senior Brother Su, have always been modest and low-key that my brothers look down on you. It will force me to go back.” There was a hint of resentment in these words. In fact, these words are already quite obvious and are revealing one's true feelings. Su Chen didn't want to complicate things, so he could only respond with silence. The nights become a little noisy after the beginning of spring. Jin Yue heard the sound of insects chirping, but did not hear Su Chen's answer, and she knew it in her heart. Not answering is just answering. Turning slightly to the side, Jin Yue stopped talking about it. "I peeled open the pills that Senior Brother Su gave me last time and studied them carefully. They should still have medicinal properties. It’s just that my attainments in alchemy are not deep enough, so the elixir was ruined, and I haven’t come to a definite conclusion yet. Brother Su, can you give me two more? I will study the Dao of Alchemy in depth later, and perhaps I can get some inspiration from it." Hearing this, Su Chen went back to his room to get it. I had practiced before and had refined quite a few jade pills.
Because of his lack of knowledge about these pills, Su Chen had never taken them. It's better to keep it and let Jin Yue study it. He took the pill and handed it to Jin Yue. The two of them didn't seem to have anything else to say. "See you later." "See you later." After the two said their final goodbyes, Jin Yue turned and left. Su Chen thinks Jin Yue is a good person. It's just that she and I are not suitable and can't be together. The Jin family was even more unwilling to get close to her. I didn't have any other thoughts about the way I treated her, and I still regarded her more as my junior sister. Su Chen had actually thought before that he could get some inspiration from Jin Yue for his "Jade Alchemy". This time, the refined pill was given to Jin Yue. There is a high probability that there will be no chance to meet in the future, and it will be difficult to get feedback. As for "Jade Alchemy", I still have to find another way to study it.
