On the side of Zhuming Palace, there is still a little hope for Su Chen. Overall, I do feel that there is little hope. The relationship with Su Chen has become like this, and it’s hard to get back together again. Put yourself in their shoes, would they be willing to do so? From Su Chen's perspective, after being treated like this, would they still be willing to be friends again? Everyone in Zhu Ming Palace knew that the possibility of winning him over was slim. But they wanted to try. The target of this attempt is the second elder’s granddaughter, Ming Yaoyao. Before, the top leaders of Zhu Ming Palace had thought about letting Ming Yaoyao get closer to Su Chen. But there were many obstacles and troubles at that time, so it was not achieved. At that time, Ming Yaoyao was still thinking about her third senior brother from Fengyu Tower. Her grandfather mentioned this to her, but she directly refused.
But Ming Yaoyao did not say absolutely nothing about this matter. As a descendant of Zhu Minggong, if the sect really encounters a big problem that is difficult to solve. She would also compromise, give up herself, and take care of the interests of the sect. After the Dan Yao Tian Exhibition, Ming Yaoyao was called back to Zhu Ming Palace. After receiving Su Chen's letter, the second elder went to find her immediately. Ming Yaoyao also knew that her grandfather wanted to say something to her. In the small courtyard, the second elder of Zhu Ming Palace had a look of apology on his face. "Yaoyao, Zhu Ming Palace really needs you to make some sacrifices this time. You have more or less heard about what happened at the Dan Yao Tian Expo. If we want to get back on good terms with Elder Su, we need to let him see our determination. Among these, marriage is the best way. Once we become a family, our interests will be aligned. Although we have to face the problems he brings, we can also enjoy the benefits he brings." Ming Yaoyao nodded. She seemed much more mature today. He did not argue with the Second Elder directly after hearing these things like he did in the previous two years. There are many reasons for this. One is that Ming Yaoyao knew that Zhu Minggong had been in trouble recently. Several elders, including her grandfather, are now having a headache. The Second Elder didn't tell her, but she heard more or less from other people.
As the granddaughter of the second elder, she was also instilled with the awareness of the overall situation since childhood. I know that I am no longer qualified to act recklessly and I need to be aware of the overall situation and take the overall situation into consideration. The second reason is that Ming Yaoyao no longer admires Xu Junnian, the third senior brother of Fengyu Tower, as much as before. At the Xuanying Conference, Xu Junnian's performance was not very good. Even worse than Su Chen. After returning to Fengyu Tower, he seemed to become more stingy because of Su Chen's appearance. That kind of demeanor and magnanimity made Ming Yaoyao increasingly displeased. Originally, Zhu Minggong was not very supportive of Ming Yaoyao and Xu Junnian being together. Xu Junnian's family background is very ordinary, and he is not the top disciple in Fengyu Tower. As the granddaughter of the elder of Zhu Ming Palace, she is naturally several levels higher than him. Moreover, Xu Junnian has not made any particularly outstanding progress over the years. On the contrary, Zhu Ming Palace's status became increasingly higher. Even if Qilou and Liulige joined forces to compete with Zhuming Palace. Zhu Ming Palace is still a relatively powerful force in Jin State, and a powerful force that cannot be ignored. A variety of factors intertwined to form Ming Yaoyao's decision. Whenever her grandfather mentioned Su Chen to her again, she was no longer as stubborn as before. “Don’t worry, Grandpa, your granddaughter knows what to do and what to say. I will do my best to solve Zhu Minggong's problem and bring him closer to me." Ming Yaoyao is relatively confident. But after hearing this, the second elder of Zhu Minggong still frowned and shook his head. "It's not as easy as you think. This time, the situation between him and Elder Su became so chaotic that he even openly spoke out in front of others. It's not like you can marry him just because you want to." Elder Ming’s worries were not a problem for Ming Yaoyao. "If Elder Su still has some sense in his heart, he will choose me. Whether it's appearance, talent, or family background. I am the best he can find. He is just an alchemist from the Zhou Kingdom in the south. It is his great fortune to marry me.
For him, it should be too high to climb. " Ming Yaoyao's words did not gain the approval of her grandfather. After Su Chen refined the Golden Cicada Pill, he fully proved his worth. But it is indeed not easy to marry a direct descendant of a powerful family. If they form marriages with other sects, it is very likely that they will just let the side branches marry Su Chen. Ming Yaoyao is worthy of Su Chen. “Let’s talk after we meet Elder Su. Perhaps he had already made up his mind and didn't want to get close to us anymore. Yaoyao, even if you are willing to give yourself to him, he is unwilling to be friends with us anymore." The grandfather and grandson have different mental states. Ming Yaoyao is obviously much more optimistic and has great confidence in herself. Relatively speaking, Elder Ming is more worried. He had met Su Chen in Xiayu City before and knew where the difficulty lay. Su Chen is easier to talk to sometimes. However, when it comes to the key core and fundamental interests, it is difficult for Su Chen to convince others. No matter what, Elder Ming was at least slightly relieved. My granddaughter has finally grown up. It's not the same as before. No matter what you say to her, she never makes sense. She can also help herself think about problems and solve them. After making preparations, the grandfather and grandson set off overnight for Yuexi City. He brought a few guards with him, and he didn't tell them what he was going to do. The Second Elder received repeated emphasis from Palace Master Yao Wen. Mentioned it several times in front of him. Even if the talks don't go well, we can't force Su Chen into a desperate situation or let him get into trouble. Yao Wen, the palace master, always feels guilty. He felt guilty towards Su Chen. And Su Chen was injured and in danger because of Zhu Minggong. Perhaps the entire Jin State will also have a drastic change in its view of their Zhuming Palace.
After the commotion in Qilou and Liulige, Zhuming Palace remained silent. Everyone actually already knows this. The techniques for refining jade pills in Zhu Minggong's hands all came from Su Chen. Having received such a huge benefit, he now wants to repay kindness with hatred. This kind of behavior is shameful to many people. By then, Zhu Ming Palace’s reputation might very well be said to be comparable to that of Wu Lan Villa. Su Chen stayed in Yuexi City for about six days. Zhu Minggong did not come, but Qiu Xiyu arrived first. She seemed to have dressed up specially before coming. The flowers are already fresh and beautiful, and today they seem to have even brighter colors. Not only are the colors more dazzling, but there is also a faint fragrance. When she walked to the restaurant to find Su Chen, she attracted too much attention along the way. It is quite normal for such a fairy to attract attention. Of course, the evil young man who likes to flirt with fairies in the opera did not appear. The people in Yuexi City only dared to look up. There are no such stupid, brain-cramped people. The young masters of wealthy and official families are not that stupid. They would chat with others for no apparent reason and even resort to violence to rob. If these young masters really wanted to do something bad, they would first find out the identity and strength of the other party. Not stupid enough to offend people randomly. "Brother Su, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" When seeing Su Chen, Qiu Xiyu couldn't help but smile. The tone of voice also rose slightly. If you are familiar enough with Qiu Xiyu, you will definitely be able to sense that something is wrong with her. Su Chen is actually quite sensitive to this situation. But Qiu Xiyu was rather cold except at the beginning when she was unfamiliar with him. It seems that this is how it is when I get along with myself later. Because of this, Su Chen had no other direction to think about. "I've been here for a few days, but I have some things to deal with that I haven't finished yet."
I invited Qiu Xiyu to have something to eat at the restaurant. Explain the situation to her. When Qiu Xiyu heard that Su Chen had invited someone here, she felt that Su Chen valued her very much. Afraid that he would have to wait too long, he moved the meeting place with other people to here. “Maybe we have to wait a few more days in Yuexi City to see if Junior Sister Qiu has any urgent matters. Or, I can just go there on my own later." Su Chen asked with some apology. Qiu Xiyu, on her part, expressed very frankly that she was willing to wait a little longer with Su Chen. She would love to have more time to interact with Su Chen. In the next two days, Su Chen also felt a little apologetic. So I tried my best to give Qiu Xiyu more guidance on the formation. Qiu Xiyu gained a lot from this trip to the border. I gained technical improvement, but also gained a lot of questions. Su Chen answered these questions directly. Not just answers, but demonstrations. Su Chen and Qiu Xiyu would occasionally go outside the city and practice in an open space. Verbal guidance plus practical guidance. Qiu Xiyu solved all the questions that were bothering her this time. She chose to stay and wait, and she gained a lot instead. In two days, all the confusion she had initially expressed was answered by Su Chen. During the break, Su Chen gave her a summary. “Junior Sister Qiu is extremely talented in the use of formations and is very skillful. Whatever is in your mind, you can express it with your hands. This kind of talent is truly hard to come by. It’s just that a lot of the knowledge about formations you have mostly come from books, not from real life. For some things, there are too many deviations from what is said in the books. The mistakes of the person who wrote the article have a huge impact on you. It is best to verify it yourself before believing what is said in the book.
Also, Junior Sister Qiu, why are you always distracted lately? Setting up a formation requires full concentration, and you should be well aware of this. During the formation master assessment before, I noticed that you were quite focused. Why am I distracted so many times now? I can even feel that you are distracted when I am talking to you. When you looked at me, you clearly didn't listen to what I said. What on earth were you thinking about?" After being pointed at by Su Chen, Qiu Xiyu lowered her head in embarrassment. What Su Chen said was true. She did look a bit like that during the few days she was with Su Chen. As I listened, I couldn't help but get distracted. She had never done this before when she was studying things related to formations. Qiu Xiyu has adjusted himself, but he still gets distracted easily. Su Chen was still in disguise and did not reveal his true appearance. Just like that, Qiu Xiyu couldn't help but fantasize when looking at that face. Especially when I think of what my aunt said, that Su Chen has an ordinary appearance. If my aunt really saw Su Chen’s true appearance, I wonder what kind of expression she would have. As she was thinking, she became distracted again. Su Chen couldn't help but tap her shoulder. "Junior Sister Qiu Your problem of distraction seems to be getting worse. I just said these words to you and you were distracted. Master, concentrate and be alert!" When Su Chen said this, his tone was even a little harsh. This is really important for a formation master. When Qiu Xiyu heard these reproaches, he nodded. "Brother Su, don't worry. I can stay focused while I study these formations by myself." After hearing Qiu Xiyu's explanation, Su Chen shook his head helplessly. Su Chen was actually a little skeptical. Once this distraction habit is formed, it is not easy to change. Now even I have to urge her, she is distracted. If there is no one to remind you, you will definitely be distracted even more. Su Chen also knew that top talents did not need too many reminders. Too many reminders are meaningless.
There is a limit to what you can do, and a loud drum does not need a heavy hammer. “It’s good that I can concentrate, and I want to improve my formation strength. Concentration is a must.” The fourth day of waiting. The second elder of Zhu Ming Palace and his entourage have already checked into Yuexi City. Elder Ming asked his granddaughter to tidy up and make some preparations before meeting Su Chen. About half an hour. Elder Ming, who was waiting downstairs, saw his granddaughter dressed up carefully and nodded with satisfaction. “Young people, more or less, also care about appearance. No matter how much resentment you have in your heart, you will hesitate when you see the appearance of my precious granddaughter." Elder Ming's words were full of praise for his granddaughter. In terms of appearance, he really thought Ming Yaoyao was very beautiful. To be honest, over the years, many people have had feelings for Ming Yaoyao. Among them are many of the top sects in Jin State. This time, Elder Ming took the initiative to bring his granddaughter to meet Su Chen, and intended to recommend the two of them. Elder Ming was serious and gave Su Chen enough face. Ming Yaoyao accepted her grandfather's praise very calmly. In fact, she also thinks she deserves the praise. “Don’t worry, Grandpa, as long as he has these thoughts in his mind, he has no reason to reject me. Looking across the entire State of Jin, he couldn't find a better female companion than me. Before I came back last month, I also went to test it. I am now only one step away from reaching the middle level of the fifth rank. It won’t be long before I can advance to the middle level of the fifth rank. At my age, I have achieved such results, which should be enough for him to take notice of me. " Ming Yaoyao expressed her thoughts. Although Elder Ming beside him also agreed with this, his brows were still furrowed as he thought about it. "Yaoyao, we'd better lower our posture a little. After all, at the moment we feel guilty for not doing well.
Don't come forward with an arrogant tone. " Elder Ming was not that confident. His lack of confidence is more about his own judgment. It’s not that his granddaughter Ming Yaoyao is not worthy or qualified. After everything was ready, Elder Ming took her to the agreed location to meet. (End of this chapter)
