C455 Parting Instruction
Chu Yan merely swept a glance at him, not angry at all.
However, Chu Yan's performance, in Shen Polang's eyes, was just a deliberate mystification, it was just the performance of the young man trying to endure. In his heart, the young man was already so scared that his legs had probably gone limp.
After a moment, Chu Yan said: "Patriarch Shen, I will naturally not interfere with your Shen family's matters, after all, it has nothing to do with me.
"It's impossible for him to win!" Shen Polang arrogantly waved his hand, "Tao Family has three cultivators from the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, they are far from what my Shen Family can compare to. If A Qing wins, our Shen Family might even face a calamity of destruction! So no matter if it's me or the Tao Family, they won't let her win.
Shen Polang moved closer to Chu Yan, opened his mouth, and revealed the dense white teeth in his mouth: "I hope that you do not worry, remember, you definitely do not interfere, staying in A Qing's small courtyard last night was already the biggest concession my Shen Family made."
"You — do your best!" Shen Polang let out one last heavy snort, turned around, and left Chu Yan alone at the edge of the lake.
Looking at the other party's departing figure, Chu Yan shook his head helplessly.
"I finally understand why Shen Qing speaks so little now. As expected, the ones who made you go crazy in the end are those people who said 'for your own good'."
Although he had received threats from Shen Polang, he did not move out of Shen Qing's courtyard.
On the contrary, he did not go out of the house for the rest of the day.
Only in the evening, under the setting sun, would he sit on the railing under the eaves and watch Shen Qing practice the Shen family's martial skill, the Gale Palm.
When this news reached Shen Polang's ears, there was only disdain in his eyes.
In his opinion, Chu Yan had submitted.
Not only was he terrified, his current performance was also looked down upon by Shen Polang.
It's said that cultivators cultivate air of injustice. How could this kid have this kind of feeling? A sect disciple is not even comparable to my family's disciple, no wonder he's just an extra son-in-law.
After making this evaluation, Shen Polang only had his people continue monitoring the courtyard, and did not allow other clan members to approach as they pleased. After that, he did not pay any more attention to the two anymore.
Another day passed and it was August 29th.
Tomorrow would be the day of the competition between the Shen family and the Tao Family.
Similarly, it was Shen Qing's birthday.
At night, Chu Yan and Shen Qing sat facing each other in the house.
The shadows of the two were stretched long by the candlelight and were cast onto the ground and walls.
The bright candlelight gave the room a feeling of comfort that it had never had before.
This was a feeling that Shen Qing hadn't felt in a long time. It was just that at this moment, she didn't say it out loud. She only felt it in her heart, afraid that she would waste even a second.
Because Shen Qing already knew that after the competition ended tomorrow, Chu Yan would be leaving.
According to him, he had to do something that had to be done after waiting for a long time.
And tonight was the night he would be giving to her before they parted.
"I had a chat with your father." Chu Yan's voice was not loud, but every word was very clear, and they were heard by Shen Qing.
"Tomorrow, your opponent will be stronger than you, there is no doubt about this. In addition, the pressure that you will face will not be limited to just this, in the entire Shen family stronghold, other than you and me, no one else wishes for you to win.
The reason is simple, if you lose, you can only follow your promise and marry Tao Xian. Although it won't affect your identity as the disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion, it will definitely be detrimental to your cultivation, but whether it be the Tao Family or the Shen family, no one will pay attention to your feelings anymore.
Since they had all obtained what they wanted, the Shen family obtained part of the rights to mine the silver pith mine, and there was hope to return to the Shen family, but Tao Family, this rich man who didn't have any strong backing, and could only build her roots in this Border Town, had the chance to contact the Patriarch Shen Branch.
More importantly, if he could obtain you, then the current branch of the Shen family could be freely kneaded by them.
It was a pity that your father's so-called three generations of hard work had gone to waste on him once he succeeded, so he couldn't see this point at all.
And if you win, that would be terrible, because the Shen family would be unhappy, and the Tao Family would be even more unhappy. According to your father, the Tao Family has three cultivators of the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage.
Three? And it's from the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage? "
Chu Yan snorted.
Shen Qing naturally knew that her father's threat towards Chu Yan was useless.
When Chu Yan was in Shattered Star Pavilion, he already had the strength to defeat an initial stage Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage cultivator, and it was not only to defeat him, it was also to crush him!
It was a pity that Shen Polang was not Lin Chongtian, so it was impossible for him to pay attention to Chu Yan's situation.
"Thus, tomorrow, if you win, your victory will be very miserable. You must be mentally prepared." When Chu Yan said that, he raised his head to look at Shen Qing, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile.
"Do you know, A Qing? I feel like I suddenly said some nonsense, because you are the kind of person who is willing to risk it all, even if your body is going to be smashed into smithereens. Therefore, tomorrow I am not worried about you at all, I just feel a little heartache. But don't worry, I'll always be by your side. "
Chu Yan did not say what exactly he would do for Shen Qing, but his words caused Shen Qing's heart to be filled with warmth, and even caused her nose to feel sore.
Compared to his own father, his own teacher trusted him more. He would not point his fingers at his actions, and would only shine like a ray of light when he needed it, illuminating the path he wanted to take.
This was enough.
Shen Qing clenched her fist and softly said, "Thank you, teacher."
"Tomorrow, we will have all of them redefine you. You are no longer the silent young miss of the Shen family that they remember." Chu Yan thought for a while, but still reached out his hand and patted Shen Qing's head, "You are very strong, stronger than anyone could ever imagine. As for tomorrow, after I leave, you can go back to the Shattered Star Pavilion. When I return and see you again, I won't need to remind you of anything else, but if you really meet with any trouble, you can either go to the Shattered Star Pavilion to find Senior Brother Li Xiu and the others or find Senior Sister Su Yuqing. "
Smiling, Chu Yan continued, "Let's go to sleep early tonight, we'll shock everyone tomorrow."
"Alright." Shen Qing nodded her head.
Outside the room was the living room. There was only one bedroom.
Although cultivators were different from mortals and didn't have a strong need for sleep, Shen Qing was still used to sleeping like mortals instead of meditating every night.
Inside the room, there were two people lying side by side.
Outside, the sounds of crickets could be heard.
The night was quiet, but tonight, Shen Qing did not sleep. She herself did not know if it was because she was nervous enough to decide her own future bet, or because Chu Yan was going to leave tomorrow.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Shen Qing opened her eyes and looked out the window at the bright moon, Chu Yan's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Happy Birthday."
