Chapter 476 - Who Exactly Are These Two People? (2/2)

“I’ve heard that their cultivation has already reached the realm of Great Fulfilment?” Su Xiu’er continued asking.

“That sounds about right. If not, we would not have escaped Life Transforming Hall’s murderous interception during our journey here,” replied Jiang Wuhen with a nod of his head.

“No wonder Grandfather choose her.” There was a slight sense of loss in Su Xiu’er’s expression as she said this.

“Xiu’er, are you no longer angry?” asked Jiang Wuhen carefully.

“He is my grandfather. Why should I be angry at him?” retorted Su Xiu’er as she glared at Jiang Wuhen sulkily.

“What I mean is, are you no longer angry with me?” continued Jiang Wuhen even more carefully.

“Oh, that’s right. I would have forgotten all about it if you had not mentioned it. Grandfather had thought highly enough of you and to accept you as his disciple. Yet, you actually just left without even saying goodbye. You are someone who cannot differentiate good from bad. I will show you how I will settle you this time,” said Su Xiu’er as her willow-shaped eyebrows rose and her face fell. Then, she fought Jiang Wuhen straightaway once she finished speaking.

“Help!” echoed Jiang Wuhen’s sad and shrill wail throughout the village before he ran off helter-skelter.

Jiang Wuhen really wanted to give himself a fierce slap right now. Why did he bring up the matter when others had not? Wasn’t this the equivalent of looking for a beating? But then, he was afraid of pain, so he was unwilling to slap himself.

Su Yizhi walked Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen to his backyard. The view of a backyard which had been kept clean and tidy entered their lines of sight. It was not exactly what one would call exquisite, but there was a peacefulness to it that was simple and modest.

“Please take a seat. Sorry about the matter earlier. It must have looked like a joke to the both of you.” Su Yizhi had a peaceful att.i.tude that made it very easy for people to feel close to him.

“It was nothing,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile. She could see that the members of the Su Family did not wish for her to represent them by partic.i.p.ating in whatever the Sword Pill Meeting was on their behalf. It was only because it was a decision forced upon them by the prestige of Su Yizhi as the clan head that they had not dared to oppose him.
