Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Zhong Family’s Assistant

Jiang Fan slightly nodded.

Otherwise, would Spirit Roots grow on their own like chives?

This confirmed that the pill truly belonged to Jiang Fan.

Chen Silin was so moved her eyes reddened, “Why are you so kind to me?”

A pill that could change Spirit Roots, without thinking, one could tell it was an existence that could defy the heavens and alter fate.

Its value was immeasurable!

No amount of money could buy it.

She and Jiang Fan hadn’t even had an intimate relationship, yet he just gave it to her.

Jiang Fan picked up the writing brush and said, “Since you and I have a formal status together, isn’t it reasonable to give it to you?”

But I am just a concubine.

Feeling Jiang Fan’s deep regard for her, Chen Silin was even more touched. She threw herself into his arms and said, “Thank you, Jiang Fan.”

“In this life, Silin will never forget your kindness and will be loyal to you alone.”

A man who could change her fate.

No matter how she repaid him, it wouldn’t be excessive.

Feeling the soft warmth in his arms, Jiang Fan’s face reddened, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Chen Yuqiu, however, was overjoyed, glancing at the ugly faces of Zhong Liangpeng and his son. “What now? Are you convinced yet?”

“One more year, if she performs well, I might consider helping my daughter become an Outer Sect disciple of the Green Cloud Sect.”

“Sorry, you Zhong Family can keep this so-called opportunity for yourselves.”

“With Jiang Fan here, my daughter can directly enter the Inner Sect of the Green Cloud Sect.” @@novelbin@@

After spitting out these words, the stifling breath in Chen Yuqiu’s chest finally dissipated.

But it left Zhong Liangpeng humiliated beyond measure.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes glaring with rage, “Chen Yuqiu! You repeatedly insult my Zhong Family, do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”

Just at that moment.

The sound of a galloping horse rushed directly into the mansion.

A graceful figure dismounted swiftly.

It was Ye Qingxue. Seeing there were no signs of fighting in the hall, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, I arrived in time,” Ye Qingxue said.

Zhong Liangpeng said, “Niece, you came at just the right time!”

“This Chen Family is simply lawless, not putting your uncle’s family in their eyes at all.”

What?

The City Lord’s Ye Family and Zhong Family had such a hidden relationship?

Zhong Qizhen sneered, “Did you think my family and theirs are cousins?”

“Otherwise, why do you think my master brought me here to Lonely Boat City instead of bringing other disciples?”

“Of course, it’s because of my identity, making it easier to act in Lonely Boat City.”

Ye Qingxue furrowed her brows slightly and said, “Uncle, is there some misunderstanding between you and the Chen Family Master?”

Although she was young, she understood great principles well.

She didn’t choose to take sides just because of her uncle’s words.

Zhong Liangpeng said, “Misunderstanding? That old fellow Chen Yuqiu would rather marry his daughter to a useless wastrel as a concubine than to my son. Isn’t that an insult?”

“I came to seek an explanation, but he continued to insult me with that wastrel!”

Wastrel?

Ye Qingxue looked puzzled.

Even though the Chen Family had been a prominent family for generations, why would they marry their only daughter to someone as a concubine?

She raised her eyes to see.

She saw Chen Silin sitting in someone’s arms, just enough to block his face.

She couldn’t help but mumble, “In broad daylight, not even avoiding public eyes.”

She looked at Chen Yuqiu, clasped her hands, and said, “Uncle Chen, what do you say?”

No matter how prominent the Chen Family might be, they were one of the top-ranked prominent families in Lonely Boat City.

Recently, they were rising rapidly, with a strong momentum. They were expected to become one of the top families.

The City Lord Mansion still had to show the respect it deserved.

Chen Yuqiu snorted, “I have nothing more to say, just one sentence!”

“It is none of your business whom the Chen Family marries their daughters to!”

This… indeed.

Why should you care whom the Chen Family marries their daughter to?

Even if she married a beggar on the roadside, it would still be the Chen Family’s freedom.

If she didn’t marry into the Zhong Family, does that mean she’s insulting the Zhong Family?

The uncle coming specifically to demand reparation for this was rather overbearing.

Most likely it was to vent Zhong Qizhen’s anger?

Ye Qingxue glanced at Zhong Qizhen with a trace of disgust.

Not winning the heart of a woman and then calling for adults to intervene, really had some nerve.

However, she couldn’t disregard her uncle’s pride either.

She had to mildly rebuke, “Chen Family Master, my uncle’s family has been a prestigious family for generations, with honor above all.”

“When arranging your daughter’s marriage, you should indeed consider the Zhong Family’s feelings.”

“If the person your daughter married was truly too inferior, you should leave the Zhong Family some leeway.”

This mild rebuke was to give her uncle some face.

Then both sides would put the matter to rest.

This was the best way to handle it.

Chen Yuqiu snorted and chose not to respond further.

He also caught onto Ye Qingxue’s intentions.

If the matter could end like this, it wouldn’t matter even if Ye Qingxue rebuked him.

Only.

Jiang Fan wasn’t pleased with this.

He gently patted Chen Silin’s shoulder, and she shyly stood up with a blushing face.

Revealing Jiang Fan’s face.

He picked up the writing brush and wrote, “Miss Ye, is it truly such a grievance for Silin to marry me?”

Ye Qingxue was astonished to see Jiang Fan’s true face.

In surprise, she said, “Jiang Fan? Is it you? You… you took Chen Silin as a concubine?”

She almost couldn’t believe her eyes, “Does Xu Youran know about this?”

Jiang Fan’s mouth twitched slightly as he wrote, “It was her decision!”

This…

Ye Qingxue was stunned, momentarily speechless.

She could only sigh, realizing that Xu Youran was indeed generous!

Before they even married officially, she had already helped Jiang Fan take a concubine.

Then, she realized she had said something inappropriate and exclaimed, “So you are the son-in-law of the Chen Family!”

“Well, that explains it.”

Jiang Fan was famously No.1 Shadow Guard, not only highly skilled but also of significant status.

In this regard, Zhong Qizhen could never compare.

She couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Uncle, Chen Family marrying their daughter to Jiang Fan as a concubine is not an insult to you.”

“I speak the truth, cousin’s martial potential is indeed inferior to Jiang Fan’s. His loss is not without reason.”

What?

This infuriated Zhong Qizhen, causing his eyebrows to raise angrily.

“Cousin, are your eyes malfunctioning? How am I inferior to him?”

Ye Qingxue nodded, “Cousin, my judgment of people is still accurate.”

“You are indeed not as good as Jiang Fan.”

Zhong Liangpeng, enraged, said, “Why are you speaking for an outsider?”

“Did you also receive a Spirit Root enhancing pill from this young man?”

He had called Ye Qingxue to support him and his son.

Yet, she turned the tables, insisting his son was inferior to Jiang Fan.

“A pill that enhances Spirit Root?” Ye Qingxue looked bewildered. Were there such heaven-defying Spirit Pills in the world?

Chen Silin, in defense of Jiang Fan.

Took up the testing magic artifact with a cheerful smile, “Miss Ye, look.”

As the light projected into the air, Ye Qingxue’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, “Sixth Grade Spirit Root?”

Before this.

The only Sixth Grade Spirit Root in Lonely Boat City was Xu Yining’s, the highest in the city.

Now, Chen Silin also tested as a Sixth Grade Spirit Root.

No, if she had such a Spirit Root, it would’ve been known by everyone long ago.

Wait!

A pill that enhances Spirit Root?

Her eyes shot towards Jiang Fan, her gaze filled with desire as she lightly swallowed.
