Chapter 289: Divination's Words: Even if it's found, there will be countless obstacles and countless dangers.
When Su Chen learned that Autumn Frost intended to return to the Autumn family immediately, he wasn't surprised.
Although he wasn't familiar with the medical path, he could see that Autumn Frost's condition wasn't good.
She wanted to return to the Autumn family to enter seclusion and alleviate the issues she was facing. Naturally, Su Chen supported her decision.
However, before Autumn Frost left, she searched for something and then handed Su Chen a leather map.
"You have an extremely keen sense for the aura of demons. Venturing into the wilderness is much safer for you than for most people."
The map supposedly led to a holy land, where one might find some opportunities.
But to get there, one would have to pass through the territories of several Earth Demons.
"I have this map, but it's not wise to rashly venture into the wilderness.
After all, if you go a little deeper, the demons in the wilderness might come looking for you."
"If you're willing, you can go and see if you can find some opportunities there."
As she spoke, she handed the leather map to Su Chen.
Su Chen looked at the map, not knowing what to say.
After helping her a little, it seemed like she always wanted to give him more and better rewards to feel at ease.
"By the way, how is the quality of your Inner Armor?" Autumn Frost asked.
As she spoke, she reached out as if to touch Su Chen's Inner Armor, but then quickly withdrew her hand, feeling it wasn't appropriate.
Su Chen slightly loosened his outer robe, revealing his Inner Armor.
The Inner Armor he wore was a high-quality one given to him by Celestial Capital, and its quality was almost comparable to the Supreme Grade.
Su Chen felt that his Inner Armor was already quite good.
It was even better than the one worn by the Celestial Prodigy, Gu Feng.
It was a special favor from Shang Xuan True Person.
However, when Autumn Frost saw the quality of the Inner Armor, she shook her head repeatedly.
"A disciple with your talent should have better Inner Armor. Is the sect so poor that it has to skimp on the resources for a single piece of Inner Armor?"
Her words were filled with criticism for Celestial Capital.
But when she was at Yunyang Sect, she didn't even have Inner Armor.
If it was about protection, she might have only had thicker clothing.
Amidst the criticism, Autumn Frost turned and entered her room.
A moment later, she came out with a piece of Inner Armor and approached Su Chen.
"For a cultivator, Inner Armor is like an extra life.
The demons in the wilderness are cunning, and Inner Armor can protect you in many situations."
As she spoke, Autumn Frost stuffed the Inner Armor into Su Chen's hands.
This was a Supreme Grade Inner Armor, and its quality was even considered top-notch among its kind.
"This seems a bit too precious," Su Chen said.
"This is essential for you, and you can't refuse it.
Also, you didn't rest yesterday.
If you choose to go for training, take some rest in the courtyard before setting off.
The room is on the west side, and you can rest as you please.
Time is tight, and for other items needed for training, you'll have to purchase them in Xiguan City."
Hearing this, Su Chen nodded.
The Inner Armor in his hands still retained some warmth.
His mind was in turmoil, as if he was focusing on feeling that warmth.
After giving her instructions, Autumn Frost left with her maid, heading directly north.
This time, when she returned to the Autumn family, she might enter seclusion for an extended period.
It was around the First Hour of the Night, and outside, it was still pitch black.
Su Chen indeed felt a bit tired.
Especially after reading the Autumn Journey Scripture, it was truly exhausting for his mind and energy.
Following Autumn Frost's instructions, Su Chen entered the room.
This was probably Autumn Frost's room, and as soon as he stepped in, he could smell a faint fragrance.
Although Autumn Frost had told him to rest in her room before leaving, Su Chen still felt a bit embarrassed and thought he might be overstepping.
He took some bedding and casually found a room to rest in.
After resting, they could set off tomorrow.
It was only April, and the Mid-Year Tournament was still a while away.
Su Chen also found it odd that Mr. Ouyang and the others hadn't mentioned this tournament to him.
He had only heard about the tournament in the Celestial Capital from Liu Xing Wan.
Without further thought, he would find out the details when he returned to the Celestial Capital.
It was mid-April, and they would arrive back in the Celestial Capital in early June, so they wouldn't miss the tournament.
He still had over a month to train, so there was no need to rush.
At this moment, Autumn Frost and her maid, Green Garden, were already on the carriage.
As a Transformation Realm cultivator, she could use her movement techniques, making her journey faster and more impressive.
But she had a maid by her side, so her speed was slightly slower.
They were in the Zhou Kingdom, and Autumn Frost was reluctant to let Green Garden return to the Autumn House alone.
So, she chose to ride the carriage together with her.
Once they entered the Jin Kingdom, she would let Green Garden return on her own.
After all, in the Jin Kingdom, Green Garden's identity as a maid of the Autumn House would be more useful.
The Autumn House had its people everywhere, making it convenient for Green Garden to seek help.
In the Zhou Kingdom, many might not have even heard of the Autumn House.
"Say what you want to say, don't hold back, or are you afraid of bursting from keeping it in?" Autumn Frost gently squeezed Green Garden, who was sitting beside her, as she spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Green Garden hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Sister Frost, you seem to be different towards this Su Gongzi."
At these words, Autumn Frost's face changed slightly.
"Really?"
"Yes, and it's quite noticeable."
Green Garden replied softly, and she could sense it, but the others might have noticed it even more.
"Sister Frost, when discussing cultivation with others, regardless of gender, you always maintain a distance.
When others get close, you unconsciously move away.
But with this Su Gongzi..."
Autumn Frost's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if recalling the previous scenes.
"He saved me, and this time, he gave me some suggestions that were very helpful.
So..."
"Sister Frost, you don't need to explain to me. Just be clear about what's in your heart."
Green Garden had been by Autumn Frost's side since she was young, and although she was a maid, Autumn Frost always treated her like a younger sister.
After so many years together, Green Garden might understand Autumn Frost even better than she understood herself.
Whoever saved Autumn Frost's life, she believed she would repay them handsomely.
But for someone to get this close, she didn't believe it.
Hearing Green Garden's words, Autumn Frost didn't know how to respond.
Recalling the past, she seemed to feel differently about Su Chen, without any rejection.
When their arms touched, Autumn Frost felt embarrassed, not disgust.
If it were others, she might unconsciously keep her distance.
In her mind, she recalled the shallow cave in the wilderness.
The two of them were closer than they were today.
"I'm currently enduring backlash, and what Su Chen said might help me get rid of it."
Autumn Frost's words were still an explanation.
In front of her maid, she still wanted to conceal it.
Hearing this, Green Garden smiled brightly.
"Sister Frost, I don't understand what you're saying.
I can only see that this Su Gongzi is handsome, and if he finds a beautiful woman like Sister Frost, they would be a perfect match."
Autumn Frost gently twisted Green Garden's arm, her face showing a hint of annoyance.
As they spoke, Autumn Frost also remembered the words from the divination.
It said that in this life, she would have a hard time finding a suitable partner.
Even if she found one, there would be countless obstacles.
But now, she couldn't see where these obstacles would come from.
