146: Why did you stay so long?

"Su Xuan, you're finally out. Why were you in there for so long?"

As soon as Su Xuan came out, he met the Holy Master who had been waiting outside for a long time.

The Holy Master had originally thought Su Xuan would come out quickly, but ended up waiting for two full days.

What exactly did Su Xuan do in there to stay for so long!

Before Su Xuan, no man had ever stayed in Liu Ruoli's residence for such a long time!

Thinking of this, the Holy Master felt a bit jealous. As a Holy Master, it was difficult for him to even meet Liu Ruoli on a normal day, and each time they met, it was only to report some matters, and then it was over.

The entire process took less than three minutes!

Yet, Su Xuan's single visit was equivalent to who knows how many years of his own time.

"I encountered a problem in my cultivation and sought advice from Ancestor Liu!"

"Thanks to Ancestor Liu, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been stuck here for a long time!"

Su Xuan said sincerely.

"So that's how it is!"

The Holy Master nodded slightly.

He didn't expect that to be the reason; it seemed he could learn from this in the future!

However, he was already a Great Emperor; even if Liu Ruoli wanted to teach him, it seemed she couldn't teach him much!

"Alas! It's difficult! Let's not think about it anymore!"

The Holy Master gave up directly.

"Holy Master, are you waiting for me because of something urgent?"

Su Xuan asked.

"I was originally going to transfer the Holy Weapon given by the Chu family to you, but Ancestor Liu just sent me a message, saying she has already given you the item!"

"Since that's the case, then I have nothing else to do!"

As the Holy Master spoke, he handed a Storage Ring to Su Xuan.

"The items inside are some personal rewards from me to you. If you need anything else, feel free to come find me!"

"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!"

After the Holy Master finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared from in front of Su Xuan the next second.

Su Xuan glanced at the items inside the Storage Ring, which were all cultivation resources.

"Eh! So many things, they make my heart flutter, but I don't even want to Cultivate! It's faster to just add points!"

Su Xuan chuckled.

However, these things could be given to Zhao Rou and the others, even if he couldn't use them himself.

"It's been two days since I last saw them. Perfect, I'll go back now!"

Su Xuan smiled.

...

On the other side, the Family Head of Chu family returned to the Chu family with Chu Chen in a sorry state, and everyone was dejected.

"Family Head..."

Chu Chen hesitated to speak.

"Alright, no need to say so much. Although our Chu family suffered a great loss in this matter, no one is a Saint, who can be without fault?"

"During this time, you can recuperate and Cultivate with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell me!"

Hearing this, Chu Chen was overjoyed. It seemed that the Chu family still cared about him and didn't despise him because of his failure this time.

"Thank you, Family Head! Chu Chen will surely redeem himself in the future!"

Chu Chen swore.

"Having that intention is enough!"

The Family Head of Chu family had also thought a lot. Although Chu Chen caused the Chu family to suffer a great loss this time, his talent was undeniable.

"But then again, from this matter, you must understand a principle: as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. When it's time to bow your head, then bow your head!"

"For an ancient family like ours, sometimes, Face is more important than other things!"

The Family Head of Chu family lectured.

"I will respectfully obey the Family Head's teachings!"

Chu Chen agreed on the surface, but he didn't take this matter to heart.

He believed that all of this was because his strength was insufficient; if he were strong, these things would not have happened at all.

"It's best if you can listen. You are the future of our Chu family; strength and character are equally indispensable!"

"You still have a long way to go. Don't be discouraged by one failure!"

At this point, there was nothing more to say. He had already said so much; if Chu Chen still didn't know how to improve, then he would really have to consider it.

"Thank you, Family Head!"

Chu Chen said respectfully.

After speaking, Chu Chen returned to his residence.

"Husband, what happened?"

As soon as he entered the door, a beautiful young lady rushed over to support Chu Chen, her eyes full of concern.

She was Chu Chen's childhood sweetheart, named Yun Shu.

Since childhood, Yun Shu had always liked Chu Chen, always following behind him, calling him 'Brother Chen'.

However, because Chu Chen had an engagement with Xiao Qianyu, and due to Xiao Qianyu's identity, Yun Shu always felt very inferior in front of Chu Chen.

Yun Shu originally thought that she would probably only be able to silently guard him from behind for the rest of her life.

But who would have thought that three years ago, Xiao Qianyu actually initiated the annulment of the engagement, and Chu Chen, in a fit of anger, even threw a letter of divorce at Xiao Qianyu's Face.

As the two parted unhappily, Yun Shu also knew that her opportunity had come. If she didn't seize this chance, she might never have another one.

Thus, during Chu Chen's period of dejection, Yun Shu constantly showed him care and concern.

Chu Chen was naturally deeply moved. It was only then that Chu Chen realized he had a beautiful girl who had secretly liked him for so long.

However, at that time, Chu Chen was very insecure. He regretted the three-year agreement he had impulsively made.

At that time, Chu Chen had not awakened the Nine Nether Hell Body, and he knew that he would surely die after three years.

So, he rejected Yun Shu's confession, which deeply saddened Yun Shu, even making her want to jump off a building at one point.

Later, Chu Chen awakened the Nine Nether Hell Body and was noticed by the main family, only then did Chu Chen have the courage to express his feelings to Yun Shu.

The two became engaged not long after.

"Wife..."

Seeing the incredibly beautiful and pure Yun Shu before him, Chu Chen's previous anger vanished into thin air.

It was somewhat shameful to admit, but although he and Yun Shu were already husband and wife, they had never shared a bed.

At that time, Chu Chen was constantly preparing for the three-year agreement and had no mind for such things.

He had originally thought of doing 'this and that' with Yun Shu after completing the three-year agreement.

But now, how could he possibly have the Face for that?

"I'm sorry, Wife, I've disappointed you..."

Chu Chen told Yun Shu everything in detail, including how he was played by Su Xuan and defeated by Xiao Qianyu.

After hearing this, Yun Shu's Face immediately showed an angry expression.

"This Su Xuan is truly too much! To make my husband lose so much Face, I will definitely not let him off!"

"Husband, don't be too sad. It's just one failure, you still have me!"

Yun Shu comforted Chu Chen.

Hearing Yun Shu's words, Chu Chen's heart immediately felt incredibly warm. At this moment, with someone comforting him like this, Chu Chen couldn't express how happy he felt inside.
