Chapter Twenty-Four: Departure
Squatting on the stone bench, watching Su Chen's slowly departing figure, Su Yang couldn't quite explain it, but he had a certain premonition in his heart.
He was slightly lost in thought, feeling that perhaps three years from now would be the time for him and Su Chen to truly settle things.
He couldn't explain why he had this thought; it was like a feeling, or perhaps it was simply because he had acquired Xu Wan's destiny trajectory after giving birth to her in her place.
It was destined that, whether he was Su Yang or Xu Wan, he would engage in a life-or-death battle with Su Chen three years later.
And then, something unspeakable will surely happen to the winner...
Since that day, no one in the Su family has ever seen Su Chen again.
Apart from the head of the family and the clan elders, no one knew his whereabouts.
Su Yang had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't pay attention to them.
He is very busy every day.
Because he still needed Xu Wan's identity, he had to disguise himself as Xu Wan from time to time and go to the Xu family to make his presence known.
Let them, let everyone in the Falling Cloud Sword Sect know, that Xu Wan is still alive.
Another day, she transformed into Xu Wan, woke up in her boudoir, walked to the window, and opened it.
Leaning against the window frame, Su Yang looked helpless.
Dressing up as a woman is actually quite challenging for him.
It's just that he's too manly; every move he makes exudes masculinity.
"Young Miss, a letter has arrived from the Falling Clouds Sword Sect."
The maid knocked on the door and spoke from outside.
He let her in, took the letter from her, and casually touched the little maid's hand, making her blush shyly.
After reading the letter in his hand, Su Yang frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
He casually clenched his fist and crushed it into paper dust.
Then, looking at the maid, he asked, "Is my grandfather still at home?"
"The head of the family is here; he is currently in his study."
Nodding, Su Yang turned and headed towards the study.
The letter from the Luoxia Sword Sect instructed Xu Wan to return to the sect as soon as possible, and the signatory was none other than Xia Lian, the sect leader of the Luoxia Sword Sect.
He is also Xu Wan's master, and one of the seven publicly recognized kings of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Since she asked Xu Wan to go back, it must be for something important. Whether Su Yang is willing or not, he has to go in Xu Wan's place.
Otherwise, if Xu Wan disobeys her master's orders, it might attract powerful experts from other realms, and who knows what kind of trouble that might happen.
Pushing open the study door, the first thing Su Yang saw was Xu Tian's middle-aged figure.
As the head of the Xu family, one of the three major families in Tianshui City, his cultivation level has reached the fifth level of the Innate Realm.
Having never fought him, Su Yang wasn't sure if he was truly his match.
Without further ado, I stated my purpose.
When Xu Tian heard that his eldest granddaughter had come to say goodbye, he put down the book in his hand.
With wrinkled eye sockets but clear, watery eyes, she scrutinized Su Yang for a moment before getting up and walking to Su Yang's side.
Then he handed a spatial ring to Su Yang.
"Wan'er, now that you've joined the Luoxia Sword Sect, there's not much your family can do to help you. Just take these things."
Xu Tian's voice was full of affection. After all, she was his own granddaughter. She had only been home for a short time, and now she was leaving again. He couldn't help but feel sad.
Taking the spatial ring, Su Yang's voice choked with emotion: "Grandpa."
Patting Su Yang on the shoulder, Xu Tian laughed and said, "You're not a little girl anymore. What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing? Alright, since Sect Master Xia has asked you to go back, you should return to the sect as soon as possible and not delay important matters."
Holding the ring, Su Yang looked back several times as he left the study, reluctant to leave.
As he was leaving, two large tears slid down his cheeks, making Xu Tian feel extremely distressed. He repeatedly comforted him, telling him that everything was alright and that he should come home to visit more often when he had time.
With her eyes slightly red, she left the Xu family and found a secluded place to restore her true form.
Su Yang tossed the ring in his hand, his smile almost reaching his ears, showing no trace of reluctance.
He wasn't faking it; it was a genuine expression of his feelings. Having become someone's granddaughter and received their benefits, he had to give them a feeling of getting more than their money's worth, right?
I glanced at the contents of the ring.
The demon cores and spiritual plants, which were as big as small mountains, were not of very high grade.
The majority were at levels one and two, but there were also some at level three, and even some at level four. Su Yang was greatly shocked!
He thought to himself, "This granddaughter is really worth it. It's so much easier than him working himself to death and venturing into the mountains on his own!"
It's true that you only know how good it is to have someone to rely on. Su Yang couldn't help but feel that being the eldest daughter of the Xu family was much more enjoyable than being a grandson in the Su family!
After converting all the demon cores and spiritual plants, Su Yang looked at the martial arts points on the panel and was overjoyed.

That's a full three thousand points more!
He became incredibly rich overnight!
Thinking about how many years he had been in the Su family and how little he had received, barely enough to be given to him like a beggar, he felt a pang of sadness for no reason.
This time, two tears truly welled up in my eyes.
He spent 1050 points to raise his cultivation to the ninth level of the Acquired Realm. The powerful true energy filled his dantian, almost making Su Yang cry out.
