Chapter 220
Like many families and sects in the cultivation world, the Su family is divided into inner and outer sects.
Inner disciples are generally exceptionally talented, possessing a single, top-grade spiritual root, allowing them to cultivate and comprehend faster than ordinary people. Outer disciples, on the other hand, are mostly of average talent, relying on their hard work and opportunities.
This classification is somewhat similar to schools thousands of years later, where students are divided into gifted classes and regular classes based on their grades. Of course, the cultivation world is more ruthless, with a clear bias in resource allocation.
At this moment, the newly recruited outer disciples of the Su family were lining up to register.
One of the boys glanced at the slowly moving line ahead and, looking bored, struck up a conversation with the person behind him: "Hey bro, what's your name?"
The person behind him had no expression and said succinctly, "Ye Xun."
The boy couldn't help but look at his face again, noticing how cold and indifferent he was even when he spoke.
I must say, Ye Xun's handsome features, coupled with his taciturn personality, are indeed quite cool. No wonder so many girls in the team are secretly watching him.
The boy straightened his clothes, put on a serious face, and wanted to imitate the cool guy's style and show off, but suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd.
Who is that?
"So beautiful! Is she a fairy?"
"My God, she's looking this way! She's looking this way!"
The boy looked in the direction everyone was looking, and saw Qin Su gracefully descending from the sword.
His mouth slowly opened wide.
Is this...is this a fairy?
The boy watched in disbelief as the "fairy" appeared before him in the blink of an eye, realizing that this must be some kind of technique that allowed her to shrink the distance and change her form.
He guessed that the "fairy" must be someone extraordinary.
As expected, the stewards who had been so serious and formal in registering them stood up and greeted the newcomer respectfully: "Young Miss."
Although the young man was an outer disciple, he knew that there was only one person in the entire Su family who could be called the eldest young lady.
He quietly turned his head, wanting to gossip with Ye Xun, whom he had just met, only to find that the cool guy who had been indifferent just a second ago was now staring blankly ahead.
Huh? What's going on?
What surprised the boy even more was that the eldest daughter of the Su family nodded to the stewards and said, "You all do your work, I'll find someone."
Then he beckoned to Ye Xun beside him, "Come here for a second."
The boy watched in shock as Ye Xun walked towards the eldest daughter of the Su family, muttering, "No way, I thought we were all ordinary people, but this guy has such a powerful backer."
No wonder he's so cool!
******
Walking under a willow tree, away from the noisy crowd, Qin Su scrutinized Ye Xun from head to toe.
Yes, that is indeed Ye Yan's face and Ye Yan's physique.
She had been intimate with Ye Yan countless times; there was no way she would admit to being wrong.
So, she didn't see Ye Yan's portrait in the disciple roster before because he hadn't arrived yet?
This does fit the pattern of how the two met—Ye Yan usually appeared in a place relatively close to her, and even if he was far away at first, he would quickly get to her side.
Qin Su asked him, "What's your name?"
Ye Xun said in a low voice, "Ye Xun, Ye as in leaf, Xun as in search."
This name?
Qin Su suddenly remembered that she had heard of Ye Xun when she first came to this world.
He was an outer disciple of the Su family. He had average talent, but he worked very hard, cultivating to the point of exhaustion. He dared to venture into any secret realm, constantly searching for opportunities and magical treasures. In just over ten years, he made a name for himself in various sects.
Moreover, he and Long Aotian were at odds. It was said that the two had a long-standing feud, and no one dared to mention each other in front of them.
But Qin Su was busy fulfilling the original owner's wish at that time, wanting to finish it as soon as possible and leave. She didn't pay much attention to Long Aotian's friends and enemies, nor did she meet Long Aotian's mortal enemy.
So, were she and Ye Yan that close back then?
Qin Su leaned forward slightly, about to ask Ye Xun a few more questions, when someone behind her cried out, "Fairy Su!"
She had only heard that voice today.
Qin Su straightened up and turned around: "Lin Ke?"
Her gaze swept over the jade pendant in Lin Ke's hand.
It seems Lin Ke has already activated the jade pendant and obtained the cheat code.
Then why did he come to the Su family?
Under Qin Su's questioning gaze and the strange look from the maid who led the way, Lin Ke looked constipated.
It wasn't that he wanted to come, nor that he wanted to make a fuss, but rather that the ancestor inside the jade pendant kept urging him frantically.
Especially since the moment the maid led him into the mountain gate, and he saw Qin Su about to approach an outer disciple from afar, this ancestor immediately flew into a rage.
"Su Su!"
"Lin Ke, hurry up! My wife is going to die!!"
Lin Ke had a lot to complain about but didn't know who to talk to.
How did the eldest daughter of the Su family become your wife? According to the relationship, she was my ex-fiancée.
However, he didn't dare to actually say it out loud. He had only casually mentioned on his way to the Su family that he had just come to pick up the tokens of annulment today, and that it would be awkward to come back now. This ancestor almost beat him to the point of vomiting blood.
"Fairy, I have something very urgent to tell you," Lin Ke said to Qin Su somewhat guiltily. "Would it be convenient for you to find a place to talk?"
According to his thinking, Su Rou definitely didn't recognize the ancestor in the jade pendant. It was probably because she looked very similar to someone the ancestor knew, and the ancestor had mistaken her for someone else.
However, since the old ancestor insisted on speaking to Su Rou in person, he dared not refuse and decided to try his best to mediate and help explain the situation clearly.
Qin Su didn't know what Long Aotian was going to do, so she said, "Then come with me to the reception room."
She also called Ye Xun, "Come with me, I need to talk to you later."
Ye Xun silently lowered his head: "Yes."
He kept a few steps behind Qin Su, and when Qin Su led Lin Ke into the reception room, he sat in the outer room to wait.
After the maid who served him tea placed the teacup on his table, she stepped back to the door and whispered to another maid.
"Why is the young master of the Lin family here again? Didn't the eldest young lady already break off her engagement with him?"
"Yes, he just came to pick up the tokens of annulment this morning. Did he regret it and come back to beg for forgiveness?"
"Young Miss can't possibly agree to that, I heard that Young Master Lin has a useless spiritual root."
"It's probably impossible, but you never know..."
fiancé……
Ye Xun quietly clenched his fist.
The reception room.
Lin Ke placed the jade pendant in front of Qin Su and said with a wry smile, "Fairy Su, although this matter is very strange and you may not believe it, there is indeed a powerful being living in this jade pendant who wants to see you."
Qin Su raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
The old man who's Long Aotian's cheat code? Why does he want to see her?
This didn't happen when she first came into this world.
As she finished speaking, the jade pendant trembled slightly, and a familiar figure slowly appeared before her eyes.
He said, looking aggrieved, "Su Su!"
Qin Su: "...Ye Yan?"
Wait, it's Ye Yan again?
When Qin Su called out that name, there was another person in the room.
The man in blue thought Qin Su was calling him. He glanced at Lin Ke and the strange phantom in the room, frowned, and cupped his hands, saying, "Young Miss, please give your orders."
Lin Ke was startled by the appearance of the man in blue. His hand trembled, and he knocked over the teacup, which fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
There was a knock on the door immediately.
Ye Xun asked in a deep voice from outside the door, "Young Miss, are you alright?"
Qin Su: "..."
