Chapter 81: Intermarriage
Zhu Chen gave Su Chen three days to think it over and do some digging about the Zhu Clan. Although he could have told Su Chen about the Zhu Clan himself, that wouldn’t have been as effective in pressuring Su Chen.
True prestige didn’t come from bragging but through the mouths of others!
Because the Horizontal Mountain Zhu Clan wasn’t a part of Long Sang Country, their name might not be as widespread here. However, as long as Su Chen investigated closely, there weren’t many people of medium social status or above who haven’t heard of them.
It would be a miracle if he wasn’t scared to his core after learning about the strength of the Zhu Clan.
Zhu Chen believed that Su Chen would definitely capitulate.
Today, Su Chen was headed to class as usual.
He had taken most of the fundamental, entry-level classes after studying at the Hidden Dragon Institute for four years. At this point, the number of classes he needed to take had drastically decreased, so he had much more time to study and cultivate on his own.
Thus, Su Chen didn’t spend much time in class. He listened to the lecture for an hour before he returned to the Origin Energy Tower along a small, shaded path.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard Wang Doushan’s voice from behind him, “Su Chen!”
Su Chen turned around and laughed, “You just got off class too?”
“It was on Origin Energy Elements. It was so boring that I Ieft before the class even ended,” Wang Doushan complained.
“Wow, even Prince Wang skips class sometimes,” Su Chen teased.
“Are you looking down on me? I can’t skip class because I am from a Bloodline Nobility Clan?” Wang Doushan and Su Chen continued to joke around with each other.
Wang Doushan glanced around to make sure no one was nearby and then said in a low voice, “They returned yesterday.”
“The six clans?”
“Mhm.”
“Have there been any movements yet?”
“Not yet, but I imagine the storm will come soon. Be careful.”
“I will,” Su Chen said.
“Okay, then I’ll take my leave first.” Wang Doushan glanced around to confirm that no one had noticed him and then turned around to leave.
“Doushan,” Su Chen suddenly said.
“What is it?” Wang Doushan turned around to look at Su Chen.
Su Chen walked towards him and leaned into his ear, whispering a few sentences.
Wang Doushan’s expression suddenly changed. “What are you saying? You aren’t joking with me, right?”
Su Chen stared at Wang Doushan sincerely as he said, “Do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?”
“Absolutely not!” Wang Doushan gravely said. “I absolutely do not agree to this.”
“…… You’re sure?” Su Chen asked.
“Absolutely!” Wang Doushan gritted his teeth as he stared at Su Chen.
Su Chen shrugged his shoulders. “Fine, if you don’t agree then forget I ever said anything, but I recommend you remember what I said. If you think through it some day or the opportunity arises…… do as I have told you.”
u Chen turned around to leave.
Wang Doushan suspiciously stared at him for some time before yelling at him, “Su Chen, what exactly are you planning?”
Su Chen only waved his hand, shaking his sleeve in response.
