134: Chapter 134 Engagement with Su Qingxue?

Chen Feng walked up to Jiang Yun.

His face bore an expression of unconcealed astonishment mixed with a hint of respect.

He lowered his voice, his tone complex.

"Master Dong Xuan, it's been a long time. I truly... truly never imagined that Master Dong Xuan and the Prodigy from C City who single-handedly slew two Gold Rank Beast Tamers of the Qin Family were the same person!"

Jiang Yun looked at Chen Feng, his expression calm, not denying it.

When he took out the wind god stone essence.

He had anticipated that Chen Feng might recognize him.

After all, he had originally purchased this item from the Myriad Beast Pavilion under the identity of Dong Xuan.

"Pavilion Master Chen, it's been a long time."

Jiang Yun gave a slight nod.

"I hope Pavilion Master can keep this matter confidential."

Chen Feng immediately straightened up, solemnly promising.

"Young Master Jiang Yun, rest assured. I, Chen, guarantee with the reputation of the Myriad Beast Pavilion that this matter will not leave my lips! Not only is Young Master's talent in beast taming unparalleled in this generation, but even your appraisal skills are so profound. It truly makes me... prostrate myself in admiration!"

His tone was filled with sincere admiration.

This youth before him.

Was hidden far too deeply.

His future achievements.

He simply dared not imagine.

Just at that moment.

Su Chengtian, having just seen off the guests, walked over with a beaming face.

Seeing Chen Feng conversing with Jiang Yun.

A trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh? Pavilion Master Chen, you're also acquainted with Jiang Yun?"

Jiang Yun was about to speak.

But Chen Feng took the lead.

Smiling and cupping his hands, he said, "Patriarch Su, Young Friend Jiang Yun and I became acquainted through some business dealings. Young Friend Jiang Yun has a discerning eye and has been of great help to my Myriad Beast Pavilion. I, Chen, am deeply grateful."

He skillfully glossed over the matter of Dong Xuan.

His words held Jiang Yun in the highest esteem.

Upon hearing this.

The surprise in Su Chengtian's eyes deepened, and his gaze toward Jiang Yun grew even more satisfied.

This prospective son-in-law of his was not only strong and talented, but also possessed such skill in commercial appraisal?

Truly an all-around talent!

No wonder he could produce a treasure like the wind god stone essence.

"So that's how it is! Hahaha, excellent! Young and promising indeed!"

Su Chengtian laughed heartily.

Patting Jiang Yun on the shoulder.

Seeing this.

Chen Feng knew they had matters to discuss.

Tactfully offering his congratulations once more.

He then took his leave.

Only then did Su Chengtian pull Jiang Yun along.

Enthusiastically saying, "Come, come, Jiang Yun, follow me to the study. This uncle has important matters to discuss with you in detail."

He had already automatically upgraded his address from 'young friend' to the more intimate 'uncle.'

Jiang Yun felt helpless inside.

He had no choice but to follow.

Arriving at an elegant and quiet study.

Jiang Yun found Su Qingxue already seated inside, quietly sipping fragrant tea.

Seeing the two enter.

She lifted her eyes.

Her gaze lingered on Jiang Yun's face for a moment.

The corner of her mouth seemed to curve into an extremely faint, almost imperceptible arc.

Su Chengtian motioned for Jiang Yun to sit.

He even personally poured him a cup of tea.

His face wore undisguised appreciation and joy.

His eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Yun and Su Qingxue.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

"Jiang Yun,"

Su Chengtian began, his tone gentle yet direct.

"Today, you gave this uncle such a great gift. In my heart, I truly... don't know how to thank you enough."

He paused.

His gaze turned toward the quietly seated Su Qingxue.

A loving smile appeared on his face.

"You know, this uncle has only Qingxue, this one daughter, whom I treasure as a jewel. Her talent, character, and appearance—in this C City, I dare say, no one surpasses her."

Hearing Su Chengtian's words.

Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Feeling helpless inside... what was coming had come... indeed... Su Chengtian continued, "Previously, the interactions between you and Qingxue... well, I've heard some things."

As he spoke.

He even adopted an expression that said 'I understand you young people.'

"Young people admiring each other is perfectly normal. This uncle is not a rigid person. Not only do I not oppose it, I'm actually delighted to see it happen!"

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Yun felt his scalp tingle.

He instinctively looked at Su Qingxue.

He saw Su Qingxue still maintaining her usual aloof and transcendent demeanor, holding her teacup, eyes fixed on her nose, nose fixed on her heart, as if it had nothing to do with her. But her slightly flickering eyes made Jiang Yun feel as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

"Patriarch Su, oh Patriarch Su, the ambiguity you saw was probably that Nine-Tailed Fox Senior toying with me!"

Jiang Yun inwardly lamented incessantly.

But Su Chengtian thought Jiang Yun was just shy.

He laughed heartily and turned to ask Su Qingxue.

"Xue'er, what do you think of Jiang Yun? Your father intends to bring you two together. What are your thoughts?"

Instantly.

Jiang Yun's gaze focused on Su Qingxue.

Su Qingxue slowly set down her teacup.

Lifting those clear yet seemingly insightful eyes, she first glanced at Jiang Yun, who was so nervous his palms were sweating, then the corners of her lips lifted, revealing a faint smile that could topple nations.

Her voice was ethereal and pleasant.

"Jiang Yun... classmate possesses heaven-defying talent, a resilient Heart-Nature, and treats others sincerely. Your daughter... greatly admires him."

She paused, her eyes shifting.

With a hint ofJust the right amount of shyness.

"If I could... support each other with him on the future path of beast taming, advancing together, it would be Qingxue's good fortune."

These words.

Were spoken flawlessly.

They expressed her favorable impression of Jiang Yun, fit her persona as a young lady from a great Family, and skillfully shifted the focus to mutual cultivation, leaving no room for criticism.

Upon hearing this.

Su Chengtian was overjoyed, clapping his hands and laughing heartily.

"Excellent! Excellent! Xue'er, with this sentiment of yours, your father is relieved! Hahahaha!"

However.

Upon hearing these words.

Jiang Yun's heart jumped.

Instead of relaxing, he grew even more wary.

He clearly caught the faint hint of playfulness in Su Qingxue's words, and the possible deeper meaning hidden behind 'mutual support' and 'advancing together.'

What exactly is this Nine-Tailed Fox Senior... scheming?

Maintaining her persona?

Or does she have other plans?

"Jiang Yun, you see, Xue'er also holds you in high regard."

Su Chengtian looked at Jiang Yun with burning eyes.

His tone carried an expectantAn expectation that cannot be refused.

"I see you don't have a life partner either, so how about we settle this matter? You young people can spend time together first, Cultivate feelings. When the time is ripe, this uncle will personally host your engagement ceremony!"

Su Chengtian said happily.

The way he looked at Jiang Yun was exactly like looking at his own son-in-law.

Jiang Yun looked at Su Chengtian's excited expression, as if he already saw his daughter finding a suitable husband and the Family's bright future, then glanced at the smiling Su Qingxue beside him, who made his heart shudder.

Jiang Yun knew.

If he flatly refused now.

Not only would he severely embarrass Su Chengtian.

He might also anger this unfathomable Nine-Tailed Fox.

He took a deep breath.

Suppressing theChaotic thoughts in his heart.

He could only brace himself.

Vaguely responding, "Everything... is as Uncle decides."

This was essentially acknowledging thisThe relationship between soon-to-be engaged couples.

Upon hearing this.

Su Chengtian was ecstatic.

He abruptly stood up.

Forcefully patted Jiang Yun on the shoulder.

And laughed heartily.

"Excellent! Excellent! Good son-in-law! We're Family from now on! Don't call me Patriarch Su anymore, it's too distant! Call me Uncle!"

Jiang Yun looked at the enthusiastic Su Chengtian,

Inwardlywry smile, he could only obediently change his address.

"Yes, Uncle Su."

"Uncle Su, oh Uncle Su, the origins of your daughter are probably far greater than you imagine... If one day you learn the truth..."

Jiang Yun silentlyMake complaints in his heart.

Unable to imagine the consequences.

Feeling as if he had stepped onto a pirate ship.

But Su Chengtian remained completely unaware.

Immersed in immense joy.

He sat down.

And continued with great enthusiasm, "Since we're all Family now, there's somethingJust right to discuss with you both. Xue'er's day to report to the Provincial Capital Academy is approaching soon. At that time, the Family will send a Gold Rank ninth-tier elder to escort her to the Su Family's main house."

He looked at Jiang Yun, his tone eager.

"Jiang Yun, now that you've been promoted to Gold Rank, you also need to report to the Provincial Capital Academy. How about you and Xue'er set off together? You can look out for each other on the journey and get to know each other better. What do you think?"
