52: The gold content mentioned casually was directly caught by others

Let's go back to a little earlier.

Inside Su Lianxue's bedchamber, she looked at her flustered father with some disbelief.

"Father, are you saying the Chu Family is looking for me?" Her cool, clear face showed surprise and utter confusion.

The Chu Family was a Hidden Family that descended from the Upper Realm to the Middle Continent; its strength was so great that the four Holy Lands felt ashamed.

In the past, they were like a Dragon, rarely seen, but now this prominent Family had sent a direct disciple to her door, saying they wanted to see her?

"Could it be related to that supreme treasure?"

Su Lianxue racked her brain but could only come up with this possibility.

"I don't think so, but that person is very anxious, so there might be another hidden reason."

"Lianxue..."

Su Lianxue's father, also the Holy Lord of Guan Xue Holy Land, looked at his daughter and suddenly let out a long sigh. He opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

It was well-known that his daughter was beautiful, even hailed as the number one beauty in the Middle Continent.

Most of this was thanks to her mother, but unfortunately, after Su Lianxue was born, her mother disappeared.

He had always felt guilty about this.

The fact that someone from the Chu Family came today specifically asking for Su Lianxue, without a doubt, was because of her appearance. If Guan Xue Holy Land could form a connection with the Chu Family, its future would surely be bright.

This was also why he personally came to call Su Lianxue, wanting to explain the situation.

But the words stuck in his throat.

Thinking of this, the Holy Lord of Guan Xue's brows never relaxed, and he could only sigh silently.

"Father, it's fine. Let's go meet him first."

Hearing her father's sigh, Su Lianxue also felt uncomfortable. With her mother's disappearance and her childhood sweetheart becoming a cripple, she was under immense pressure.

But she was the Saintess of Guan Xue Holy Land and could not falter.

Thinking of this, the two immediately got up and walked towards the main hall.

Indeed, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw a man of imposing Aura sitting there.

Su Lianxue recognized this person; she had seen him at a grand competition. He was sitting with several Elders of the Chu Family at the time and seemed to be one of the young Prodigies of the Chu Family, named Chu Xuan.

"Too slow! That esteemed adult must be getting impatient."

"Let's go."

Seeing that the people had finally arrived, Chu Xuan immediately put down his tea, stood up, and prepared to leave, as if he didn't want to waste even a moment.

Hearing this, Su Lianxue took a step forward with her bare, jade-like feet, cupped her hands, and asked sincerely:

"Young Master Chu, may I ask which esteemed adult wishes to see me?"

At this moment, Su Lianxue could no longer maintain her cool demeanor. She keenly sensed that the "adult" the other party spoke of was very unusual.

"Which esteemed adult? Heh, that's not for you to know." Chu Xuan chuckled lightly, a hint of disdain in his tone.

He looked at Su Lianxue with satisfaction; her cool and exquisite Aura was captivating and admirable.

She truly lived up to her reputation as the number one beauty in the Middle Continent.

But unfortunately, this was someone specifically requested by that esteemed adult... However, seeing Su Lianxue's expression, Chu Xuan thought for a moment and decided to give her a hint:

"Don't say I didn't warn you; that esteemed adult's identity is not simple. Don't speak carelessly. Otherwise, not only you and the Holy Land behind you, but even our Qing Tian Realm will be annihilated in an instant." Chu Xuan said, raising a finger and pointing it skyward, his face full of seriousness.

"Annihilated in an instant..."

Su Lianxue softly repeated the phrase, then followed Chu Xuan's finger, looking up, and instantly understood.

"You mean... the Upper Realm...?"

Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh at this: "Heh, that's why I say your horizons are limited. Do you know what the Upper Realm is?"

"People of the Lower Realm constantly speak of the Upper Realm, Upper Realm, but you actually don't know that above the Lower Thousand Realms is the Middle Thousand World, and above the Middle Thousand World is the Upper Thousand Realms, which is what we refer to as the Upper Realm."

"Ants observing the sky mistake the Middle Thousand World for the Upper Realm."

"I'll kindly tell you, this esteemed adult is not from the Middle Thousand World, but from the Upper Thousand Realms, which is the 'Upper Upper Realm' in your eyes."

"However..." Chu Xuan hesitated, but continued: "This time, I came by the personal command of the Head of the Family. Although I dare not speculate, listening to the conversations between the Head of the Family and several Elders, I believe that esteemed adult is not only from the Upper Realm, but from an even higher..."

"Of course, this is just my own guess. Don't spread it carelessly, or we'll both be in big trouble."

After speaking, Chu Xuan walked directly out of the hall.

Behind him, Su Lianxue numbly followed, Chu Xuan's words constantly flashing through her mind... "Upper Upper Realm... and even beyond that... are there worlds above the Upper Upper Realm?"

Just a few words shattered her long-held beliefs.

She had always thought there were only two realms in the world, the Lower Realm and the Upper Realm, but today she suddenly learned that what she knew as the Upper Realm was merely the Middle Thousand World, and above the Middle Thousand World was the Upper Thousand Realms.

The Chu Family, a force from the Middle Thousand World, possessed such strength, so what about the Upper Realm? And the Upper Realm of the Upper Realm?

What business could a prominent figure from above the Upper Thousand Realms have with her?

Su Lianxue was very confident in her appearance. She thought it was probably just a few Young Masters from the Upper Realm who had heard of her reputation as the number one beauty and wanted to see if she lived up to it.

This had happened twice before, but although Guan Xue Holy Land was a local power, its strength was not to be underestimated, so they had always found excuses to decline.

However, this time seemed different... So Su Lianxue followed Chu Xuan back to the Chu Family and met the Chu Family's steward.

She had seen this person before; he had presided over the Four Holy Lands Grand Competition.

If things were still normal up to this point, they quickly became abnormal afterwards.

She was brought before the Chu Family's manager, whom she had also seen before. When he came to Guan Xue Holy Land to discuss some matter last time, her father, the Holy Lord of Guan Xue Holy Land, was full of flattery, nodding repeatedly.

Later, she even met the Head of the Chu Family, whose Aura was like a rainbow, awe-inspiring without anger, a person even the Holy Lord was not qualified to meet.

While she was still bewildered, the Head of the Chu Family pulled her aside and told her many, many things, mostly admonishments.

That esteemed adult's identity is not simple; be cautious in your words and actions when you meet him.

Whatever that esteemed adult asks you to do, you must do it; you cannot disobey.

If that esteemed adult is pleased, not only your Guan Xue Holy Land, but the entire Middle Continent will benefit.

That esteemed adult, that esteemed adult... Listening on, Su Lianxue gradually grew curious about this esteemed adult. What kind of esteemed adult could make the high and mighty Head of the Chu Family not even dare to mention his name?

But she wasn't just listening; it was a matter of great importance, so she consciously memorized all these instructions.

Then, finally, she was brought before that esteemed adult... — — — — — —

In the inn, Jun Lingxiao looked at Su Lianxue, who was kneeling before him.

He then looked at the Head of the Chu Family, who had a flattering expression, and felt a headache.

I just said it casually; why did you actually bring her here?
