Chapter 106: Expectation

He had long seen that the Qinglong Holy Son's character was bad, but he never imagined he was simply a lunatic.

In order to break through his cultivation bottleneck, he actually planned to turn Yao'er into a medicine person, which wasn't enough; he even wanted to send her to Ye Xuan as a hostage in exchange for the Star Battle Body Technique cultivation method.

"Father, rest assured."

Su Chen's eyes were filled with determination as he nodded and said, "Over these years, the elder sister has paid no attention to the sect, but I know full well in my heart that she definitely blames herself more than anyone else and hates herself."

"She doesn't dare return to the sect, simply because she fears seeing the scene of my dignity being trampled, fears she cannot accept it—I know all of this."

"Leave the elder sister's matter to me, Father. Stay in Yunhai City and urge the cultivators to seize the time to train; when I return to the city, I will strive to have a group of experts in either pill refining or talisman crafting appear."

"With minimal losses, first annihilate the eight thousand Qingming Divine Sect disciples that Ye Xuan takes pride in."

"Nowadays, the points are not many; Su Chen cannot give each of the three thousand cultivators a cup of Dao-comprehension tea or a piece of Insight Stone."

"Only by passing through abundant resources and fair competition can the cultivators' potential be best stimulated."

"Fully prepared, one strike will surely win."

Su Changfeng's eyes were red: "Good, good, leave the matter of urging the sect's disciples to cultivate to me."

"When you return, I will surely give you a batch of talisman craftsmen capable of refining Spirit-grade Thunderfire Talismans; then, our three thousand cultivators will lie in wait, and Ye Xuan and the forces behind him will surely be destroyed."

Su Changfeng needs time.

"First, test the disciples' cultivation, talent, comprehension, etc., then, using the least cultivation resources, create a batch of talisman craftsmen."

"When the task is accomplished, they will have an endless supply of talisman paper!"

The Liu Sect Master who had come along was also slightly moved, gazing at Su Chen, then shifting his gaze to his daughter who only had Su Chen in her heart; he hurried over and said, "Daughter, this journey has been hard on you."

"Your body is this weak, the violent spiritual energy lingering in your meridians hasn't been cleared; quickly take the Suxin Pill to regulate your breath."

Liu Liyan: "……"

Qingxia, upon hearing this, silently lowered her head even further.

"What's this? Why is your face so pale? Did you use your cultivation to protect your body, causing your meridians to rupture?"

Seeing Liu Liyan's face growing paler, the Liu Sect Master hurriedly exerted her divine sense, sweeping it over Liu Liyan's body, quickly took out the Suxin Pill from her storage ring, urged her to take it, and then returned to the city to regulate her breath.

Seeing this, Su Chen also hurried over: "Liyan, go back and regulate your breath properly."

"The violent spirit phenomenon outside hasn't completely ended yet; take good care of yourself, don't recklessly use your spiritual power if your meridians are blocked, and wait well for my return."

"I was planning to take you along, but what the Black Dog said is also correct—you just returned from Qianyuan City, and because your meridians are injured, you must absolutely not leave any hidden ailments in your body; otherwise, when you later break through your cultivation realm, it could be extremely fatal."

"Be obedient and wait for me well in Yunhai City."

"We haven't even had a chance to hug and kiss, yet we must again be separated in two places."

"Sigh……"

Su Chen gently stroked Liu Liyan's head full of silver hair, feeling quite reluctant in his heart.

Especially when seeing his fiancée look at him with a pitiful, indescribable gaze…… she seemed very much wanting to go with him, feeling aggrieved and heartbroken, yet she didn't utter a word, keeping everything bottled up inside……

Moreover——

Su Chen saw from Liu Liyan's pair of blood-red eyes a few traces of depression and a faint sense of anticipation.

She seemed to be anticipating, waiting for him to personally speak up and bring her out of the city together.

Faced with Liu Liyan's pair of eyes, Su Chen for a moment didn't know how to speak the words of refusal.

He was thinking about leaving Liu Liyan alone in Yunhai City—would that be too heartless?

But now……

Su Chen indeed hesitated in his heart.

In his sea of consciousness he silently chanted to open the Wanjie Shopping Mall, glanced at the upper-left corner's points value: 【Total points, points……points continuously increasing……】

Before setting out, Su Chen deliberately left a batch of Dao-comprehension tea, Insight Stone, and Thunderfire Talismans for Su Changfeng.

He also exchanged for two hundred high-grade imperial artifacts.

One hundred Thunderfire Talismans.

Five hundred Huichun Pills.

Plus three Martial Venerable Realm monster pets, altogether consuming one million points; after subtracting the small portion he himself brought, the remaining talisman paper and Insight Stone Spirit Stone are enough for the cultivators to train and raise their cultivation.

Watching the points dwindle with use, Su Chen's heart that wanted to bring Liu Liyan along began to stir, but the Liu Sect Master beside him shouted that her daughter's meridians were fragile and unsuitable for using cultivation, thus dispelling Su Chen's thought.

Points can be earned again if they run out, hugs and kisses can wait, but nothing must happen to her.

"Liyan, be good and wait for me in Yunhai City, okay? I'll be back at most in a month. All right?"

Su Chen didn't even dare to lift his eyes to meet Liu Liyan's gaze, fearing that if they locked eyes, he wouldn't be able to hold back.

Not good,

Even a hundred million points are not good.

But these words she ultimately said in her heart; on the surface she merely nodded slightly, her head suddenly drooping limp like an ostrich, the vitality in her eyes instantly drained.

Su Chen reluctantly embraced the soft jade warmth in his arms; the moment he let go, he turned and boarded the Spirit Boat, his mind full of Liu Liyan's pitiful gaze, never daring to look back.

That tall figure gradually faded, reflected in a pair of blood-red eyes.

"A Chen……"

The heart is full of grievance.

Sad, heartbroken to the point of despair.

He ultimately still couldn't, firmly choosing to be with her.

Just because her meridians are blocked and cannot lightly use cultivation!!

Liu Liyan's blood-red eyes slowly turned and suddenly fell upon Qingxia, frightening Qingxia to the point that her three souls and seven spirits vanished, leaving only two souls and six spirits.

The person's face instantly turned purple, the body trembling violently.

"Daughter, the young nephew will return soon; he said a month is definitely a month, so don't worry— for now, first return to the city to regulate your breath and nourish your meridians."

"Mother, you haven't probed with your divine soul, have you? I'm fine! Can you please not speak?"

No, you went from Qianyuan City to Yunhai City; during this time, Mom, whenever she sat in meditation and closed her eyes, her mind was full of your image.

Liu Liyan gave a faint glance and said, "Shut up!"

Liu Sect Master immediately closed their mouth.

Qingxia saw the hateful gaze shift away from her, finally breathed a sigh of relief, then cautiously walked up to Liu Liyan and said, "Master... Holy Maiden, do you need me to prepare a small flying boat for you?"

"Can we still catch up? Rest assured, this time Qingxia is absolutely reliable."

Liu Liyan didn't speak me.

She ignored any obstruction and alone hovered suspended on the wall above the city gate.

The cloak was blown up by the hunting cold wind, freezing her fair cheeks to a faint red; she just stood there like a stone gazing for her husband, staring fixedly, longingly, at the clouds where Su Chen's flying boat had passed.
