Chapter 8: A Mark, a Drop of Essence Blood, and the Questioning of the Three Elders~



Su Qing's eyes also became a little moist. Ye Qingqing was still so good to her in this life.

Su Qing pushed the spirit stone away and then stuffed it into Ye Qingqing's sleeve.

“Qingqing, I can’t accept the spirit stones. You might need them to save your life in the future. If you really want to give me something, give me your bracelet.” Su Qing said, taking off one of her bracelets and handing it to Ye Qingqing, saying, “This is for you.”

Ye Qingqing glanced at Su Qing, handed one of her bracelets to Su Qing, and put Su Qing's bracelet on her wrist.

“The Xuanling Sect and Anyang City are only a hundred miles apart. If you need anything, come to the Xuanling Sect to find me!” Su Qing said.

Ye Qingqing nodded and said, "Su Qing, I believe in you. You will definitely be able to enter the inner sect of Xuanling Sect."

Su Qing was thinking that once she had established herself in the Xuanling Sect, she would bring Ye Qingqing with her.

In this life, she cannot allow Ye Qingqing to become a sacrifice for the family again, to be tortured to death by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

On Ye Qingqing's bracelet was a mark left by Su Qing, a drop of her essence blood.

Although Su Qing was not a demonic cultivator, she had fought with demonic cultivators many times and was familiar with some of their cultivation methods. Her drop of blood was a method used by demonic cultivators.

As long as Ye Qingqing wears the bracelet, Su Qing will be able to sense danger through the blood essence on the bracelet.

Although Su Qing is not yet able to help Ye Qingqing, based on her memories from her previous life, her cultivation speed is definitely much faster than in her previous life. In this way, she will be able to protect Ye Qingqing.

After seeing Ye Qingqing off, Su Qing went to the Su family's main hall.

The elders of the Su family, who usually kept to themselves and did not concern themselves with worldly affairs, were all gathered in the hall.

"Su Yingcheng! What exactly happened? Wasn't it agreed that Su Ruoshan would join the Xuanling Sect? How did it become Su Qing? Su Ruoshan is the eldest daughter of the Su family, and she has dual spiritual roots of water and metal. Elder Xiang promised that as long as she joins the Xuanling Sect, he will give her a spot as an inner disciple! How did it suddenly become Su Qing?" The First Elder, sitting in the seat of honor, spoke up.

The Grand Elder had white hair and a youthful face. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had already lived to be 180 years old. As his lifespan was nearing its end, there were faint traces of black on his forehead.

“That’s right. She’s just a concubine’s daughter born to a beautiful woman, and her aptitude is only three spiritual roots. It’s already a great thing that she was allowed to join the Cloud Sword Sect. How did it become that she joined the Profound Spirit Sect?” the Second Elder chimed in.

This Second Elder is the eldest son of the First Elder. Although he is only at the peak of the Qi Refining stage and has never broken through the Foundation Establishment barrier, he is now eighty-nine years old. He is more energetic than other elderly people, but his lifespan is also coming to an end. If he does not establish his foundation soon, he may not live as long as the First Elder.

The Third Elder, also at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, pursed his lips and remained silent, but his eyes swept over Su Yingcheng, clearly showing his extreme dissatisfaction with him.

Su Yingcheng is the head of the Su family, at the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage, making him the most powerful cultivator in the Su family. However, he still showed great respect to the three elders.

“Elders, I have no choice but to let Su Ruoshan join the Xuanling Sect. Now that the Xuanling Sect has sent people to the Su family, we have no other option but to let Su Qing join the Xuanling Sect first. Although Su Qing only has three spiritual roots, Senior Brother Beiming of the Xuanling Sect is very satisfied with her,” Su Yingcheng said.

"Hmph, unwilling? Xuanling Sect is one of the five major sects, what could she possibly be unwilling to do?" The Grand Elder was furious upon hearing this.

“That’s right. As a member of the Su family, she should think about the Su family’s interests. If she’s unwilling, the Su family will lose an inner disciple of the Xuanling Sect!” the Second Elder chimed in.

"If you ask me, since Su Ruoshan is unwilling to join the Xuanling Sect, this spot will not fall to Su Qing, a concubine's daughter," the Third Elder sneered.

Su Qing heard everything clearly from outside and secretly sneered to herself.

These three elders, though practically on their deathbeds and claiming to no longer concern themselves with the Su family's affairs, couldn't resist jumping out when faced with the prospect of personal gain.

If Su Ruoshan could join the Xuanling Sect and become an inner disciple, she would be able to bring two members of her clan to the Xuanling Sect with her.

At that time, the Su family selected Su Huan, who was from the lineage of the First Elder and the Second Elder, and Su Yan, the grandson of the Third Elder.

Now that Su Ruoshan can't go to the Xuanling Sect, Su Huan and Su Yan can't go either. These three elders are looking for an explanation from Su Yingcheng.

Su Yingcheng's face was ashen.

Actually, he was the one who felt the most frustrated these days.

He had high hopes for Su Ruoshan, but who could have imagined that her rebellion would come so suddenly?

They won't even go to the Xuanling Sect, but they want to go to the Poyun Sword Sect instead.

The Su family has now become a laughing stock in Anyang City.

Now that the three elders have come to interrogate him, he suppressed his anger and said, "Elders, I was forced by circumstances at the time and had no choice."

"You think you can just leave it at that because you can't do anything about it? We had originally agreed that Su Huan and Su Yan would go to the Xuanling Sect together, but now only Su Qing went to be an outer disciple. What about the other two?" The First Elder snorted coldly and said, "Su Yingcheng, although you are the head of the family and you are in charge of all the affairs of the Su family, you can't make the decisions on matters concerning the Su family all by yourself!"

“That’s right. Since Su Ruoshan is going to the Cloud Sword Sect, the Profound Spirit Sect should at least select one from the younger generation,” the Second Elder said.

“Our Su family doesn’t have anyone with dual spiritual roots, but we have at least eight or ten with three spiritual roots. That’s why we’re here today. Let all the members of our clan with three spiritual roots compete and see who is the strongest in the Su family. That person will be accepted into the Xuanling Sect,” the Third Elder said.

Su Yingcheng's face turned cold, and he said, "Senior Brother Beiming has already made a reservation with Su Qing, so there's no going back. Besides, when Zhao Qingfan of the Cloud Sword Sect was in our Su family, he gave Su Qing the Cloud Sword Sect's token, which is enough to prove that Su Qing is special."

"The reason why the token of the Cloud Sword Sect fell into Su Qing's hands is because Zhao Qingfan did not meet with the other young people of our Su family. Su Yingcheng, the matter of joining the Xuanling Sect cannot be decided by you alone. It must be decided by the clan!" the First Elder said. "This is related to the future prosperity of our Su family, and this matter cannot be taken lightly."

Su Yingcheng was so angry that his liver hurt. Tomorrow, Beiming was going to lead people to Xuanling Sect, and today, the three elders were still arguing with him here.

He was about to say something when Su Qing came out from outside.

"Su Qing greets the three elders."

The First Elder glanced at Su Qing and snorted coldly. The Second Elder and Third Elder also gave her a cold look.

In their view, the daughters of the Su family who had some talent for cultivation would be taught the Su family's cultivation methods. Once they reached the third to fifth level of the Qi Refining stage, they would be traded to bring benefits to the Su family. Those who had no talent were just beauties and could be sacrificed at will.
