Chapter 115

So I trapped myself?

What is all this?

Afterwards, Su Xuan and the others dispersed.

Su Xuan rested in Yingyin City for one night.

That night, he also taught the Life-Extending Longevity Technique to Xi Zhicai.

Of course, he didn't forget the old rule: apply a mental contract to ensure it wouldn't leak out.

This Life-Extending Longevity Technique is still very important and cannot be easily leaked at present.

After obtaining the cultivation method and understanding its efficacy, Xi Zhicai was moved to tears and swore, "Lord, in the future, I will definitely serve you with my life to help you achieve a great cause;"

"Otherwise, it will not be enough to repay the Lord's kindness."

"Haha! Good! I'll wait for that day!"

Time returns to last night,

Xun You took Guo Jia to Guo Jia's home first and had a good talk with Guo Jia's parents.

He also spread the word in the circle, telling everyone that from now on, no one is allowed to lend money to Guo Jia, nor is anyone allowed to invite him to the Yunyan Pavilion; otherwise, it would be not giving the Xun family face.

After doing all this, Xun You ignored Guo Jia's lifeless gaze and returned to the Xun family.

He took the initiative to seek an audience with his great-uncle, Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang.

Who is also the true helmsman of the Xun family now.

"You met that Su Xuan today; what do you think of this person?"

After seeing Xun You, Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang asked directly without waiting for him to speak.

He guessed that Xun You coming to see him at this time must also be for Su Xuan's matter.

Xun You immediately recounted Su Xuan's every word and action after meeting him today, picking out the key points and quickly narrating them.

Then, he gave his conclusion: "In my opinion, this Su Xuan is even more outstanding than the outside world spreads;"

"Whether it is civil and military strategy, or vision, temperament, and methods, they are all very extraordinary. He is also an ambitious hero;"

"In the future, he will definitely have a place in this world."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang looked at Xun You with some surprise and said, "Such a high evaluation? This is very rare for you! It seems you really think highly of him?"

"Yes!"

Xun You nodded.

"Hmm...."

Seeing this, Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before saying, "Tomorrow, go and invite him to the Xun Fu so I can see him!"

"Doesn't he know medical arts, and are his medical skills very impressive?"

"Use this as a reason to invite him to help me check my body;"

"It just so happens that I am old, and my health is deteriorating day by day. If his medical skills are really as superb as he says, it would be just right for him to help me treat it; perhaps it could let me live a few more years."

If it succeeds, their Xun family will naturally have a significant reward.

"Yes!"

Xun You immediately bowed and accepted.

Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang then spoke again: "The chaotic world is coming. I know you have the heart to serve and acknowledge a Lord, but don't be in a hurry; wait a little longer;"

"I am old! Other matters are fine and have been arranged, but there is only one person I cannot let go of, and that is my little niece, Miss Xun Cai Cai."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang suddenly mention Miss Xun Cai Cai, Xun You was stunned for a moment. He raised his head to look at Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang with some surprise and couldn't help but guess and ask, "Great-uncle, do you intend to betroth little niece Miss Xun Cai Cai to Su Xuan?"

"But didn't you previously think highly of Young Master Yin Yu of the Nanyang Yin clan?"

"Yes!"

Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang nodded, then sighed and said, "But according to careful investigation by the family's death soldiers, that Yin Yu does not know how to restrain himself regarding alcohol and lust, his private life is chaotic, and his health is not very good; in this situation, it is even worse;"

"For this reason, I secretly invited a physiognomist to check Yin Yu's physiognomy;"

"The physiognomist said that Yin Yu has the physiognomy of an early death and a short life. How could he be a good match for Cai'er?"

"I am looking for a good match for Cai'er just so that after I pass away, someone can take good care of her, let her live a safe, peaceful, and happy life;"

"But that Yin Yu clearly cannot do these things, so I have already rejected him."

He really dotes on this little daughter, Miss Xun Cai Cai.

He is afraid that after he passes away, she will not live well and will have no one to rely on.

"So that's how it is!"

Xun You suddenly realized.

So it turns out to be like this!

Since that is the case, Yin Yu is indeed not worthy of little niece Miss Xun Cai Cai.

Speaking of not knowing how to restrain oneself regarding alcohol and lust, Xun You didn't know why he suddenly thought of Guo Jia.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must supervise Guo Jia well.

He must absolutely not let him follow in Yin Yu's footsteps.

"Sun Er understands! I will go and invite General Su Xuan to come and diagnose you, Great-uncle, first thing tomorrow morning."

Xun You immediately bowed to Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang and promised.

"Hmm!"

Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Remember not to let Cai'er's matter out;"

"Su Xuan is currently only temporarily included in my scope of consideration; everything will be discussed tomorrow;"

"In addition, even if he can satisfy me tomorrow, his background is a bit low, but fortunately, his ability is sufficient;"

"Among his peers, no one can compare to him at present, but his background will limit his upper limit, unless someone can give him a hand;"

"If, tomorrow, his talent and character can satisfy me, and he can make further meritorious deeds in the subsequent suppression of the rebellion, then his marriage with Cai'er can be decided!"

"At that time, I, the old man, will personally propose the engagement to him. I think he will not refuse;"

"After all, his background is insufficient. In the future, if he wants to achieve things in the chaotic world, marrying into my Xun clan will allow him to go more smoothly and further;"

"When that time really comes, you can go and serve him to help him achieve his cause."

"In this way, in the future, my Xun clan can also stand firm in the chaotic world and have a reliance."

Clearly, Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang had considered everything.

Xun You only had admiration in his heart and naturally wouldn't say much more, just bowed and replied: "Sun Er understands!"

"Hmm! Go!"

Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang nodded and waved for Xun You to retreat.

After Xun You left, he turned to the screen behind him and said, "What are you still hiding for? Come out!"

The next moment, a young girl with a dignified, gentle, beautiful, and generous appearance walked out from behind the screen. She bowed slightly to Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang apologetically and confessed, "Father, daughter has been rude."

"Eh! Forget it!"

Seeing this, Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang sighed, waved his hand, and said, "I know you have never been very satisfied with that Yin Yu, but according to your temperament, if I, your father, let you marry that Yin Yu, you probably wouldn't refuse;"

"It is precisely because of this that I am even more worried;"

"You have a stubborn and unyielding temperament;"

"This is very good, but also very bad; it is easy for you to suffer losses."

"It just so happens that a Su Xuan has appeared now;"

"You also heard Gongda's evaluation of him just now!"

"Tomorrow, I, your father, will arrange for you to stay on the side, and you can take a good look for yourself then;"

"I, your father, will also help you keep an eye on him. If you are satisfied, then this matter can basically be decided."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Xun Cai Cai was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "But Father, didn't you just say to Gongda that even if General Su Xuan can satisfy you tomorrow, you would wait until he makes further meritorious deeds before deciding?"

"Yes!"

Confucian Xun Shuang Shuang nodded affirmatively: "That is what I said, but I can see from this person's growth trajectory that he always plans before acting. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he makes new meritorious deeds later;"

"Especially since he actually controls an iron cavalry that can form a military formation, and has two peerless fierce generals of the Gangjin Realm under his command;"

"Therefore, tomorrow, as long as he can satisfy you and me, we can decide in our hearts first;"

"And implicitly reveal to him that if he can make new meritorious deeds, I, your father, can betroth you, Cai'er, to him, and I will speak for him in the imperial court to help him go further, which can be considered part of the congratulatory gift."

"Hmm! In this way, it can also dispel the thoughts of other noble clans wanting to marry into his family."
