Chapter 387
“Wahhh …” Liu Ruyue, who had just entered the room, heard Xiao Chen’s touching words of love. A woman’s sensitivity and weakness were touched, and she couldn’t help but hug her face and cry. She was afraid that she would disturb Xiao Chen and Su Qingyi, so she ran outside.
Su Diguo was the last to arrive. When he saw Liu Ruyue enter, he immediately burst into tears. He didn’t know what was going on, so he retracted his right leg that was about to enter the room. He decided not to disturb Xiao Chen and Su Qingyi’s private time.
He understood that with Xiao Chen’s personality, Xiao Chen would soon embark on the long process of searching for the Alchemy Saint. Even though Xiao Chen’s strength wasn’t bad and he had the protection of The Lion King, the outside world was incomparably dangerous. There was a possibility that he might not be able to return from this journey.
Xiao Chen naturally heard Liu Ruyue’s cries, but he didn’t get up. He wanted to accompany Su Qingyi for a while longer and look at Su Qingyi a few more times. After today, it might be a long time before they could see each other again. He wanted to deeply imprint Su Qingyi’s appearance into his mind, and he wanted to forever remember Su Qingyi’s kindness in his heart.
“Qingyi, for the sake of your early recovery, I must set off as soon as possible. Wait for my return. If I’m fast, it will be three months; if I’m slow, it will be half a year. No matter what, I will invite the Alchemy Saint. Even if I have to pay with my life, Qingyi, my lover, take care!”
Xiao Chen accompanied Su Qingyi for an entire two hours before he reluctantly let go of Su Qingyi’s hand. He slowly stood up, and after saying those words with deep emotions, he gave a final infatuated glance at the motionless Su Qingyi. He then turned around and walked out of Su Qingyi’s bedroom without looking back.
Xiao Chen didn’t dare to look back. He was afraid that if he did, he wouldn’t be able to bear to leave. However, for Su Qingyi, he had no choice but to leave.
What he didn’t know was that the moment he turned around to leave, two sparkling and resplendent teardrops seeped out from the corner of Su Qingyi’s eyes. Then, they slid into the hair by her ear and disappeared.
People in a vegetative state were not necessarily unconscious. Su Qingyi actually cried, which meant that she still retained a trace of consciousness. Although she couldn’t wake up, she might have heard Xiao Chen’s words of love and felt Xiao Chen’s deep love for her, so she was moved and cried tears of joy.
After exiting Su Qingyi’s bedroom, the tears in Xiao Chen’s eyes had disappeared. The sadness in his eyes had also disappeared and was replaced with incomparable firmness and determination.
For the sake of Su Qingyi, he had to maintain a strong heart and maintain a calm mind. Weakness wouldn’t be able to exchange for pity from others. Only by improving himself would he be able to obtain the respect of others. Only then would he be able to find and invite the Alchemy Sage to treat Su Qingyi.
After exiting Su Qingyi’s bedroom, Xiao Chen was about to bid farewell to Su Diguo, Zhu Qingmei, and Liu Ruyue. Since he had decided, Xiao Chen would immediately leave and wouldn’t wait until tomorrow.
However, Xiao Chen didn’t know which pavilion Su Diguo and the others were in. Just as he was about to find a Su Clan guard to ask, Su Jianfei strode over and cupped his fists towards Xiao Chen. He spoke respectfully, “Young Master Xiao Chen, Patriarch Su and the others are waiting for you in the banquet hall. Will you head over?”
“Big Brother Su, let’s go.”
Xiao Chen wasn’t in the mood to be polite. He called out and led the way to the Su Clan’s banquet hall. After staying in the Su Clan for a few days, Xiao Chen naturally had a good understanding of the Su Clan.
Su Jianfei looked at the back of Xiao Chen, who was more than ten years younger than him, with a complicated expression. He recalled the time when he betrayed Xiao Chen for the Su Clan, and his face revealed a trace of guilt. He quickly caught up to Xiao Chen and walked side by side with Xiao Chen. He turned his head and spoke apologetically, “Xiao Chen, previously, I … I told the enemy that you were hiding in the Su Clan’s secret chamber. I am truly sorry. You should still hate me, right?”
“En?
Big Brother Su, what did you say?
Is there such a thing?
Did I forget?
Let’s go. Don’t let everyone wait. ”
Xiao Chen was slightly startled. He looked at the guilt-ridden Su Jianfei and acted as though he had forgotten about the matter. After finishing his sentence, he didn’t wait for Su Jianfei’s response and continued walking towards his destination.
“Thank you for forgiving me, Xiao Chen.”
Su Jianfei naturally didn’t believe that Xiao Chen had forgotten about the matter. He understood that Xiao Chen wouldn’t care about such matters because of the Su Clan.
A moment later, Xiao Chen and Su Jianfei entered the Su Clan’s banquet hall.
At this moment, Su Diguo, Su Ruohu, Zhu Qingmei, Ruyue, Grandma Liu, Zhuge Ming, and Xu Da were seated in the banquet hall.
When Su Diguo saw that Xiao Chen had arrived, he stood up and greeted, “Xiao Chen, you are here. Come, sit beside Uncle. We will discuss some matters later.”
Xiao Chen looked around at everyone. When he passed by Zhuge Ming and Xu Da, he had a slightly surprised expression. He then nodded at Su Diguo and walked to the empty seat on Su Diguo’s left.
When Zhu Qingmei and Liu Ruyue saw that Xiao Chen had arrived, they stood up at nearly the same time and shouted in unison, “Xiao Chen.”
“En, let’s sit down first.” Xiao Chen gestured for the two girls, who had a concerned expression, to sit down.
When Zhuge Ming and Xu Da saw their idol, Xiao Chen, their faces were filled with excitement. They stood up at the same time and cupped their fists at Xiao Chen. They spoke emotionally, “Boss Xiao, it has been a long time. I have missed you!”
“Boss Xiao?
Eh … I am younger than the two young masters. Isn’t it inappropriate for the two of you to address me as boss? “Xiao Chen was thunderstruck by the two young masters from the great clans and had a strange expression on his face.
“Appropriate!
Very appropriate! “Xu Da immediately replied.
“The ranking doesn’t care about age; it only considers strength and fame!
You are stronger than us, so you are our boss. We are convinced!
Boss Xiao, why don’t you accept us as your underlings?
We will follow your lead and fight wherever you ask us to. Whoever you ask us to kill, we will kill! ”
Zhuge Ming was quick-witted and had a glib tongue. His speech was very reasonable and persuasive, which caused everyone present to raise their eyebrows and couldn’t help but laugh.
“…” Xiao Chen was speechless. He thought to himself, “My two brothers, are you for real?
I can’t accept you two young masters as my underlings. Otherwise, your father will fight it out with me. ”
When Su Diguo saw that Xiao Chen was speechless, he helped Xiao Chen out of this predicament. He politely said to the two young masters, “Young masters, please take a seat first. As for the matter of acknowledging Xiao Chen as the boss, let’s take it slowly, right?
Give Xiao Chen some time, right? ”
“We will solemnly follow Uncle Su’s teachings!
We were a little too impatient, haha! ”
Zhuge Ming and Xu Da were actually very obedient to Su Diguo. It was obvious that because of their relationship with Xiao Chen, Su Diguo’s status had soared to the status of the Asura God Tribe’s Patriarch.
“Patriarch, City Lord, Young Master Xiao Chen, and all the other young masters and ladies, please enjoy your meal. Su Jianfei will take his leave!” Su Jianfei, who was standing by the door, felt that he was an extra person, so he respectfully took his leave.
“Wait!”
Su Diguo called out to Su Jianfei, who was about to leave. He smiled and said, “Jianfei, why don’t you stay for a meal?
You are a general of the Su Clan and a core member of the Su Clan. There is no need to be so restrained. ”
“Ah?”
When Su Jianfei heard Su Diguo’s words, he was slightly stunned. He immediately knelt on one knee and spoke in an overwhelmed manner, “Many thanks for Patriarch’s generosity!
Jianfei is moved to tears and swears to be loyal to the Su Clan until his death!
I will repay Patriarch and City Lord’s kindness to Jianfei! ”
“Alright, Jianfei, get up and find a place to sit.”
Su Diguo indicated for Su Jianfei to stand up and find a place to sit. He then called out to everyone, “Everyone, don’t just talk. Why don’t you eat something?”
Su Diguo called for everyone to eat, but no one touched their bowls or chopsticks. All eyes were on Xiao Chen because they knew that Xiao Chen definitely had something to say to everyone.
When Su Diguo saw that no one moved their chopsticks, he thought about Su Qingyi and lost the mood to eat.
