Chapter 290

Because that would alienate him from the Xun clan and cause cracks in his marriage with Xun Cai.

This is not a good idea.

"Sigh! Annoying!"

Thinking of this, Guo Jia tangled his hair in frustration, and as he walked out, he said: "Forget it! I won't think about this tangled matter anymore! Let everything go as it will!"

When heaven wants to rain, or a mother wants to remarry, not everything can have a perfect solution.

Another month passed.

In the past few months, Zhen Jiang, Zou Qian, Bian Yu'er, and Cai Yuan have all successively become pregnant with Su Xuan's children.

Among them, Zhen Jiang is already 7 months pregnant.

The latest, Bian Yu'er, is also four months pregnant.

For a time, Su's father and mother were very happy upon hearing the news.

Zhen Yi, Cai Feng, Zou Chuan, and others were all very happy.

They had been worried for years.

Now, the big stone in their hearts has finally fallen.

This day, in a pavilion in the backyard of the General's Mansion,

"Sister, how much longer until the baby is born?"

"Has Brother-in-law checked? Do you know if it's a little young master or a little young lady?"

Zhen Tuo asked curiously.

"Yes! Yes!"

Zhen Mi on the side also nodded repeatedly, and even curiously reached out to touch Zhen Jiang's big belly.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiang couldn't help but laugh, reached out to touch her head, and replied: "Husband has checked, it's a girl, but I think it's quite good! Husband also said he likes daughters very much."

As long as Su Xuan likes it, Zhen Jiang is happy.

It doesn't matter if it's not a son.

Anyway, she wasn't planning on competing with Sister Xun Cai for anything.

According to her husband, they will all likely be able to achieve longevity in the future, so whether or not they have a son is even less important.

Perhaps, if they have a son, when he grows up, he will be even more of a headache and annoying!

"Is that so?"

Zhen Tuo nodded with a calm expression upon hearing this.

Since both Brother-in-law and Sister like it, she has nothing to say.

It's just that Father is afraid he will be disappointed this time.

However, Zhen Tuo didn't care about this.

Her own father brought it on himself.

If he hadn't schemed against Brother-in-law back then, he wouldn't need to be so careful in front of him now.

However, Zhen Tuo remembered that her father had recently suggested to her and her two younger sisters that they should find a way to marry Su Xuan together.

Thinking of this, she felt very shy.

At the same time, she felt a sense of not being a good sister.

It made her afraid to tell her sister about this.

"Sigh! Let's talk about it later!"

Zhen Tuo thought procrastinatingly.

To say she had no thoughts about Su Xuan would be impossible.

After all, Su Xuan is so outstanding that any normal woman would be moved.

Meanwhile, in the study of the General's Mansion,

"My Lord! These are some of the classics I have exchanged from fellow Daoists like Nanhua, Zixiao, and Yu Ji over the past year!"

"The rest that were difficult to carry have been handed over to the local Secret Guard one after another for them to be responsible for transport. I wonder if you have received them all smoothly, my Lord?"

Zuo Ci said, untied the large package he was carrying on his back, placed it on the table, and while opening it, reported and asked Su Xuan.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "I have received them all! There are quite a few Daoist canons, spiritual medicines, precious medicines, and precious ores;"

"They are also quite useful to me!"

"The spiritual medicines and precious medicines that haven't died have even long been planted in the spiritual medicine garden;"

"You can go take a look when you're interested later;"

"Let me see what you have in your hands first!"

"How much information on alchemy and artifact refining is in here?"

He felt that his alchemy skills were not yet perfect, and the pill recipes were not enough, so naturally, he hoped that the more knowledge and information in this area, the better.

In addition, he had also been thinking about artifact refining for many years, and he hoped that Zuo Ci would not disappoint him this time.

"Naturally!"

Zuo Ci nodded affirmatively, took out two bundles of ancient books respectively, and placed them in front of Su Xuan: "My Lord, the bundle on the left is all knowledge and information on alchemy;"

"The bundle on the right is all knowledge and information on artifact refining, mechanism arts, forging, etc.;"

"To ensure the safety of these things, I chose not to hand them over to the Secret Guard, but to carry them personally to avoid any accidents;"

"I've kept you waiting, my Lord!"

"I hope you will have satisfactory gains after reading them, my Lord."

"In addition, these here are the inheritances of Nanhua and the others, such as cultivation methods, martial arts, and Daoist techniques!"

"They were all exchanged with them using Qi-Blood Pills and my own cultivation methods, Daoist techniques, etc. I hope they will also be of some use to you, my Lord."

"Oh?"

Su Xuan was startled upon hearing this, and looked at Zuo Ci with great surprise: "You exchanged your own cultivation inheritance for their cultivation inheritances?"

"Wouldn't that be a huge profit?"

This is equivalent to one exchange for four or more!

Zuo Ci only paid his own inheritance, but what he got were several different inheritances.

Not only can he learn or use them for reference, but he can also hand them to Su Xuan in exchange for merit.

Nanhua and the others were pitted miserably by him.

If they join Su Xuan's command in the future, won't they hate Zuo Ci, this old fox, to death?

"So, they didn't agree to my recruitment invitation, right?"

Su Xuan suddenly realized and asked.

"Correct!"

Zuo Ci nodded with a bitter smile and explained: "My Lord, it's not that I didn't try hard! I tried my best to persuade them;"

"I said everything you told me to say, but it was useless!"

"These alone couldn't attract them, and they were unwilling to come to see you, my Lord, so naturally, they couldn't learn more conditions from you that could attract them;"

"This directly became a dead loop, and I couldn't help it!"

It's not that he intentionally pitted Nanhua and the others!

It was they themselves who were ignorant and unwilling to come.

If they were willing to come, he naturally wouldn't have pitted their cultivation inheritances to exchange for merit.

Lest he get beaten up.

But didn't they not agree?

In order for the Lord to obtain more different cultivation inheritances, Daoist techniques, etc.

Used to create more and stronger divine techniques, he went all out.

Sacrificing himself to fulfill the Lord, he is duty-bound.

Su Xuan saw Zuo Ci's general thoughts, couldn't help but be amused, pointed at him and said: "You! You really are an old slippery fox!"

"Worried that they will settle scores with you in the future!"

"After all, when I achieve success in the future, they will inevitably realize what they missed, and they will inevitably come to join my command."

After all, he holds the path to longevity that they dream of.

"Hehe!"

Hearing this, Zuo Ci grinned and said: "This can't be blamed on me! I tried to persuade them! It was they themselves who were unwilling!"
