Chapter 78: Su Huchen's Visit
Who would believe that anyone is actually an idiot!
Su Huchen twitched his mouth corner in annoyance.
The old monsters of the Wuzu tribe and the Nascent Soul grand cultivators of the sect are all playing the "Great Witches are dead" game to the extreme.
Whoever believes it will be unlucky!
"Are you saying that a Blood-Xue Chiluo happened to pass by there at that time and simply ate these little things?" Su Huchen asked.
Su Hanlin twitched his mouth corner speechlessly. "What I mean is, a Great Witch happened to pass by there, and his Blood-Xue Chiluo was craving food, so it just sucked them up and ate the little snacks."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, such a possibility really exists." Su Huchen propped his chin and thought for a moment; the probability of Su Hanlin's guess coming true was very high.
"Then do you think the mother body of these little things was a scheme by demonic spies, or did some evil god break the rules again and run into our sect's safe zone?" Su Huchen asked.
"Hard to say; I have too little information.
At least I need to collect more information before I can judge what exactly happened."
Su Hanlin's mouth corner tilted slightly; he was an intelligence analyst, not a diviner. He couldn't just take some random things and divine something out of them.
Of course, he didn't envy diviners at all, because diviners would sometimes perish due to backlash from divination if they weren't careful. They were truly using their lives to divine.
"Alright then, you rest for a few days first. Once I get your new identity processed, you can go back to work. Remember to give them a little shock." Su Huchen said.
Hearing this, Su Hanlin immediately curled his mouth corner.
Not long after Su Hanlin saw Su Huchen off, An Qian also came to visit him.
Although no one knew this female cultivator An Qian at first, she was a good person. When he finally encountered danger, it was An Qian who risked her life to help and pull him out, so he only lost one eye; otherwise, he would have perished.
So Su Hanlin greeted An Qian.
An Qian didn't come empty-handed either; she brought gifts.
"I cannot repay the grace of saving my life. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just come find me." An Qian felt that she had truly picked up a life for free this time.
And the reason she could pick up this life was because Su Hanlin was truly capable of fighting.
Su Hanlin's combat power was far greater than Su Yu's.
Moreover, his methods for preserving his life were endless!!
"By the way, I heard you like collecting various ancient texts. This is a stone slab I picked up before. It has some ghostly scribbles drawn on it; I couldn't understand them, so I'm giving it to you. I hope it will be of some use to you."
Su Hanlin originally wanted to decline, but as soon as An Qian took out that stone slab, Su Hanlin couldn't bear to look away.
This was a casual record written in ancient Witch script.
Although the stone slab was not large, it recorded quite a bit of content, with information amounting to several hundred characters.
Su Hanlin immediately became interested.
"Are you really giving it to me?"
"Yes. Thank you for saving my life."
"Then I won't be polite."
"Please take it." After An Qian saw him accept the item, her heart felt slightly at ease. The grace of saving a life must be repaid.
When An Qian went to visit Su Hanlin, Su Huchen had already left the Patrol Department and walked directly to Su Jian's home.
Hearing the knocking sound, Su Jian opened the door and looked.
Seeing that familiar yet strange face, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.
"Oh my heavens, you actually came back. I thought you would die outside, and I would have to build a memorial tomb for you."
"I really almost died outside. If I had really died, you would indeed have to build a memorial tomb for me. We agreed that even if we build tombs, we must build them together. Even as ghosts in the future, we will be ghost brothers." Su Huchen said.
"Come in. Are you married?"
"No, I am the type who pursues the Great Dao and does not plan to start a family and have children." Su Huchen said.
"Then it's over. If you really die, I will indeed have to build a tomb for you. I will indeed place it next to my pre-selected tomb. That way, when my descendants come to worship me in the future, they can worship you as well." Su Jian said.
Many cultivators in the Su family marry and have children, but there are also quite a few who do not marry or have children and pursue the Great Dao.
The better the talent of a cultivator, the more determined they are to pursue the Great Dao for a lifetime.
In Su Jian's eyes, Su Huchen was obviously another lamb that had strayed onto the wrong path.
But there was no way to persuade him on this matter. If you persuade too much, the other person will think you have an issue with them!
So Su Jian simply arranged Su Huchen's funeral affairs as well.
"Alright, just choose a place. Originally I thought it didn't matter whether I had a tomb or not, but if you choose one for me, then I will lie down in it at the end." Su Huchen said with a smile.
Su Jian: It's as if I'm begging you to build a tomb for me!!?
"I heard you got married?" Su Huchen asked.
"Yes, yes, I have two daughters. The older one is eight years old and is struggling in the clan school. The younger one is two years old, ahem, she probably has no spiritual root."
"Oh? Then do you plan to send her out to be fostered?"
"No, my father didn't have a spiritual root either, did you forget?"
"No."
"Once I confirm that my little daughter has no spiritual root, I plan to send her to my parents so they can help me raise her."
"Your parents really owe you. Raising the older one, then raising the younger one." Su Huchen mocked him.
"There's no other way! Who says children are all debts!" Su Jian didn't feel at all that relying on his elders was a flaw. The key is that you must have elders to rely on. Like his parents, their bodies were extremely robust; living another thirty years would be no problem at all.
By the time his parents passed away, his little daughter would already be married and established in her career.
Of course, he wouldn't just rely on his parents for free. Whatever good food, good drinks, good items, and various health-preserving pills and medicines, he would prepare for his parents.
"By the way, I heard Su Hanlin say that you ran away alone with your sister yesterday?" Su Huchen said with a smile.
"Hanlin certainly wouldn't say it that way; he would definitely say he's sorry to me for not being able to help me bring my sister home safely." Su Jian laughed, his tone very confident.
"You really understand him well. By the way, he was saved by people from our Patrol Department, but he lost his left eye."
"That's not bad; at least he didn't die." Su Jian felt a sigh of relief in his heart. "What about that kid Su Yu?"
"He's not seriously hurt, but it seems he and Su Hanlin have had a falling out," Su Huchen said.
"Do you know what caused the falling out?"
"Better wait for Su Hanlin to tell you himself." Su Huchen had no desire to speak of such matters. "However, Hanlin promised me he would return to work at the Intelligence Bureau under the Patrol Department."
"He's finally gone back to being an intelligence analyst?" Su Jian rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"You know, it's best to get up from where you fell. That way, heart demons are less likely to arise, sparing you from bottlenecks in Foundation Establishment," Su Huchen said.
"Are you pointing that at me? I still have thirty or forty years before Foundation Establishment," Su Jian said.
Su Huchen: "Can't you hurry up? What are you dawdling about over a single Foundation Establishment?"
Su Jian: "I call that being steady. What do you know?"
