Chapter 439: Ming Yaoyao's Test
2024-10-08
The way she spoke, it seemed like she didn't think he was aware that she was Xu Junnian's wife.
Seeing Ming Yaoyao so admiring Xu Junnian.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment before echoing a couple of words.
"Outstanding young talent, he will surely become a great figure in the future."
"Senior Su, I admire such a martial artist."
Ming Yaoyao didn't know if Su Chen understood this, so she spoke more directly.
Worried that Su Chen might misunderstand and then pester her, she decided to lay it all out.
Hearing these words, Su Chen was a bit speechless.
The four transformation realm powerhouses accompanying Zhuming Palace also seemed more serious today.
"I shouldn't compare myself to you; that would lower my status."
But Senior Sister Yaoyao, I didn't see much change in the expression of Third Senior Brother.
Fan Chengyan, this elder, was a core member of the sect.
And these young people, all seemed interested.
Fu Jianyun seemed to be stepped on, and hearing this, he seemed even angrier.
Who would listen to him in Jin Kingdom? Does he think he is a member of the Zhou Kingdom and thus his status is noble? "Can you compare yourself to me?"
He should understand this.
Normally, he was willing to listen to the same as always, he didn't expect Su Chen to come and make the best use of this situation.
Around noon, Su Chen and the Zhuming Palace group passed by.
Not being so cold, this was also unseen, and thus couldn't be seen.
Speaking was another junior sister.
Those participating in the Sacred Jade Tournament were also registering there.
She seemed to be somewhat unwilling to believe.
But Fan Chengyan was different; she found an opportunity and wanted to act.
When you accompanied Senior Su upstairs, his expression was indifferent.
These words were not entirely wrong.
Lu Jia and the others, one after another, listened attentively.
Sitting next to him, it was probably to let Xu Junnian eat vinegar.
Compared to the letter from Qiu Ruoshuang, Su Chen didn't know how many times he had walked away.
Now, even the techniques for refining Jade Medicine Pills have been improved.
Sister, you took him as a tool to test Third Senior Brother; he must have been very uncomfortable.
But in this back-and-forth conversation, it was as ordinary as it could be.
In his mind, the impression of Ming Yaoyao was the granddaughter of the Second Elder.
When the people from Wulan Manor arrived, when?
Lu Jia smiled and patted Ming Yaoyao.
It seemed that everything happening around was irrelevant to him.
He was puzzled to see Su Chen here, and Su Chen was equally surprised to see him.
But now, he no longer had the same status.
Some close friends started to scheme, making various assumptions.
In the conversation, her face seemed to carry some regret.
Third Senior Brother, who hadn't grown up, didn't necessarily see it.
"Senior Sister, you suddenly sat next to Senior Su, and got closer to him."
Especially after confirming Xu Junnian's intention toward Ming Yaoyao, she wanted to talk about it more.
Everyone left, and Ming Yaoyao, Lu Jia, and a close junior sister were also huddled in the same room.
Outside the Jade River Inn, the Zhuming Palace group didn't immediately enter.
Throughout the process, Ming Yaoyao and Xu Junnian were chatting intermittently.
Not understanding this, what was the point?
This was the largest inn in Yudisk River, the Jade River Inn.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing this, Ming Yaoyao hesitated a bit.
But then she said she was devoted to Xu Junnian, praising him in various ways.
In the inn's hall, six disciples were registering.
"I was also a bit uncomfortable."
If it were you, senior sister, when would you show such coldness? Seeing the news of the other disciples, shouldn't you go over and listen to a few more words?
The Rain and Wind Tower group also stopped to accompany them.
As before, those participating in the Sacred Jade Tournament needed to stay at the largest inn in Yudisk River.
The man here liked her, and the man there would do anything to get her.
"These things today, after Senior Su recovered, I wonder if he will be very angry.
There was nothing wrong with what he said; he just didn't show much reaction during that period.
Looking at Ming Yaoyao, then Xu Junnian.
Seeing Ming Yaoyao's condition improve, Lu Jia shifted the topic to Su Chen.
Being overlooked by a low-ranking warrior from the Zhou Kingdom, he really couldn't take it.
"So, Third Senior Brother, he was paying attention?
There was nothing hidden or deeper to be found here.
This Great Zhou's top talent, once an unattainable figure.
It seemed Xu Junnian wasn’t angry at all.
Su Chen had already become an honorary elder of Zhu Ming Palace.
It was Lu Jia who broke the awkward silence by starting a conversation.
Beside them, Ming Yao Yao listened more and more earnestly, as if she too was thinking of something.
On the third day of staying at the inn, Zhu Ming Palace received the notification.
Another junior sister nodded in agreement, saying, "Our Zhu Ming Palace's strength has been rising steadily over the past half year."
That was all there was.
But in front of Su Chen, his arrogant demeanor seemed to have returned.
It’s fine, he sat a bit further away.
"I was very direct with him, even expressing my admiration for Third Senior Brother, which I told Elder Su."
If one considers so much and has various reservations, can they still be called domineering?
This was just in the past; now, there’s also a bit of enmity towards Fu Jianyun.
Compared to her previous sullen expression, it even seemed a bit amusing.
If he had kept pressuring Grandfather and Palace Master to pressure me.
In the morning, there is much more activity compared to the afternoon, as most sects tend to resolve these matters in the morning.
If he didn’t care, he should be like other fellow disciples, curious and surprised.
The disciple sent to gather information returned shortly.
When you escorted Elder Su upstairs, I couldn’t help but look a few more times.
The Primordial Seal is said to be mysterious, but Su Chen felt that it wouldn’t be a big problem to observe and touch it a bit later.
He even looked forward to the Sacred Jade Tournament ending soon.
"If you can be here, why can't I?"
Fu Jianyun can be meek and submissive when faced with contempt from Jin Kingdom people.
His face grew colder.
The elders around them didn’t want to get involved in the younger generation’s affairs, so after eating, they went their separate ways.
Fu Jianyun still wants to treat Su Chen as a low-ranking disciple of Yunyang Sect.
Xu Junnian isn’t the type to be cold and not speak to others.
He didn’t think much about Ming Yao Yao’s situation.
But when they saw you and Elder Su getting close, they were still somewhat surprised.
In their conversation, Ming Yao Yao seemed to view herself as a fairy being fought over.
Thus, his coldness today actually proved something.
The emotional entanglements between the two were indeed quite interesting.
Apart from the core members, everyone from Wulan Manor has arrived.
Even if she returns this time, she should not have arrived yet.
To Fu Jianyun, such a person is considered extremely low-ranking.
At that inn, it’s very likely to encounter Sang Mo yuan, and his incredibly domineering master.
Such a grand and exquisite building would be a considerable expense for a sect.
"I was actually worried about that too."
The gloom dissipated.
"Sister, I was actually watching Third Senior Brother for a long time just now."
At the time, many of the contributions he received were truly snatched from the hands of many disciples.
Afterward, if he can get the rewards, Su Chen plans to ask if he can claim them later.
Lu Jia, hearing this, hesitated but eventually nodded.
Seeing Ming Yao Yao's growing distress, Lu Jia stopped teasing her.
"I was watching Third Senior Brother the whole time just now."
If Third Elder truly didn’t care about these things, he shouldn’t be acting this way.
While the three of them were chatting, Su Chen had been meditating for a long time.
Which of the Rain and Wind Tower's senior brothers and sisters didn’t turn their heads to take a few more looks?
Trying to discern some hidden meanings.
Since there were no issues, the people from Zhu Ming Palace and Rain and Wind Tower entered Jade River Inn together.
Moreover, although Senior Brother Xu Junnian has exceptional talent, his family is quite ordinary.
"Senior Sister, did you encounter anything when you escorted Elder Su upstairs?"
Lu Jia, seeing this, quickly gestured for her to sit a bit further back.
Senior Sister, you also said that he could use Second Elder and Palace Master to pressure you.
At Yunyang Sect, he used to put on airs all the time.
Liu Xingwan would step in and deal with other fellow disciples together.
Just like Zhu Ming Palace, many disciples were able to attend the Sacred Jade Tournament.
After all, major sects usually only send three or four disciples.
After some polite small talk, Su Chen finally returned to his own room.
Let's see what we observed during those days while staying at the Palace.
These two individuals in the Rain and Wind Tower were among the top young warriors.
As she spoke, she recalled many strange and unpredictable things.
Why are you telling me this? I congratulate Fairy Ming on finding a good match. May your hearts be connected, and may your love flourish."
Fu Jianyun's expression turned cold, his words carrying an undertone of interrogation towards Su Chen.
"I'm asking you a question. Why are you here?"
Wulan Manor is not a minor sect, and many people are paying attention to their influence.
Upon hearing this, Ming Yao Yao's face momentarily turned somewhat unpleasant.
Su Chen turned his head to look, only then did he realize it was the former Great Zhou's top talent, Fu Jianyun.
As these words were spoken, Ming Yao Yao's face grew increasingly cheerful.
Su Chen could more or less guess the reason for this.
The more the women chatted, the more excited they became.
However, Su Chen looked down upon them.
In the central part of the city, a very spacious four-story inn appeared before them.
Others might have some reservations, but under certain circumstances, they wouldn't take action.
Lu Jia's tone became serious, and Ming Yao Yao also slightly turned her head, drawn by the conversation.
But the third senior brother didn't turn his head at all, and throughout the entire process, his gaze didn't shift once."
To avoid getting entangled with Ming Yao Yao, Su Chen didn't leave his room the next day.
Senior Jing arranged for someone to investigate and inquire about Wulan Manor's situation.
"Is that so?"
There were no sharp topics; everything was restrained.
It seemed that Fu Jianyun was somewhat lacking and probably wouldn't be able to participate in the Sacred Jade Tournament.
Lu Jia's words resonated with Ming Yao Yao, and she agreed wholeheartedly.
As Lu Jia promised this, Ming Yao Yao's entire being lit up.
"That's best. It'll prevent him from coming here and bothering you, Sister, and causing trouble."
People seeking medicine were about to flood in.
This woman, Lu Jia, was quick-witted.
They stayed at the inn for a day.
"There's one more thing I'd like to analyze with Sister Yao Yao."
"Of course, Sister, you should think it over carefully. Does it make sense?"
Su Chen could tell that Ming Yao Yao had some feelings for Xu Junnian and admired him.
At that time in Xiangyuan City, they had assisted Wulan Manor in various ways.
They wanted to find and hand me over in exchange for some benefits.
Compared to Liu Xingwan, Fu Jianyun was much more selfish.
If he truly didn't care, he wouldn't be so cold.
In front of other Jin Kingdom warriors, Fu Jianyun no longer had that arrogant attitude.
A casual lunch lasted until the end of the afternoon.
As Lu Jia spoke, Ming Yao Yao's expression seemed to grow even more unpleasant.
It wouldn't distract Su Chen's thoughts.
He and his master, Sun Xuerong, had gone to seek refuge with Wulan Manor.
I feel that as long as I'm unwilling, this marriage will never happen."
In their mouths, Su Chen had become an evil person who would frame them.
"If Elder Su insists on Sister Yao, I feel that Brother Xu truly doesn't have the ability to compete."
Since there's this situation, it's considered a grudge.
We're both from Zhuming Palace, and it's annoying if we cause trouble."
To obtain the Inner Sect identity, they had to expend a lot of contributions to exchange for it.
Su Chen probably wouldn't have guessed that Ming Yao Yao was worried he would cling to her, so she took preventive measures in advance. Returning to her original position, everyone in the Rain and Wind Tower fell silent for a good while.
Regarding Fu Jianyun, Su Chen had only disliked him before.
In the meantime, Su Chen heard a voice filled with doubt.
When they entered, there were other sect members in front, registering and recording.
Su Chen casually asked, his expression indifferent.
But in the end, including Su Chen, there were only four of them.
As Zhuming Palace's strength continued to rise, Xu Junnian's status would become even less important to the Palace Master and the Second Elder."
These matters didn't consume Su Chen's energy.
She squeezed next to Ming Yao Yao and began to share her own analysis.
To be honest, I, Lu Jia, knew about this beforehand.
To save time, Fu Jianyun wouldn't waste energy dealing with monsters alongside other warriors.
After saying this, Su Chen turned away and didn't speak further.
Meanwhile, Sun Xuerong, who had temporarily left, had already returned.
Hearing the conversation between Su Chen and Fu Jianyun, she approached with a face full of anger.
"What right do you have to talk about Jianyun in front of him?"
As she spoke, Sun Xuerong walked closer to Su Chen.
