Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Recorded in the Notebook, Listening to Melodies

“There’s no other way. Although the Su family is strong, they can’t suppress all the top forces. We can only choose to compromise!”

“Sigh, if only the old ancestor would intervene, those forces wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant!”

“Well, if even such minor issues require the old ancestor’s involvement, what should we do?”

“Exactly, now we need to negotiate with those top forces. They must offer more resources or compensation. Otherwise, the Su family won’t be satisfied!”

In the main hall of the clan, the elders, including Clan Leader Su Yun, were discussing their next steps with determination. Thanks to Su Changsheng’s rise, the Su family’s power had grown, making them comparable to the top forces. They now had the confidence to confront and even surpass those forces.

“Well, I agree!”

“Indeed, our next step is negotiating with them, especially the Lingxu Sword Sect. Hmph that Ling Jian has taken many resources this time. They are almost comparable with our Su family!”

An elder expressed dissatisfaction.

“Ling Jian!”

Upon hearing this, the elders and Su Yun, Su Qing, and others showed flashes of hostility in their eyes. They still remembered how the Lingxu Sword Sect undermined the Changsheng Ancestor at the wedding banquet. Moreover, they had competed for the resources of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and snatched almost one-third of them. It was as if they had stolen from the Su family, combining old grudges with new ones.

If it weren’t for their fear of the Lingxu Sword Sect and the uncertain attitude of the old ancestor, they would have already taken action.

“Hmph, we’ll settle this with them later!” Su Yun coldly snorted, but he wasn’t careless. After all, the Lingxu Sword Sect was too strong, even stronger than the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Although the Changsheng Ancestor could destroy the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, it didn’t necessarily mean they could challenge the Lingxu Sword Sect.

That was because the Lingxu Sword Sect had three grand saint ancestors. It could be said that each one of them was stronger than the saint ancestor of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!

The strongest grand ancestor was even at the Sixth Heaven of the Saint Realm, having mastered the sword path to a sacred level. Even same-level powerhouses didn’t dare to confront them.

Even if Su Yun and the others had confidence in the Changsheng Ancestor, they wouldn’t dare to provoke such a formidable enemy on behalf of the old ancestor.

“Good, we’ll settle the score with them later!”

“As for the decisions of the old ancestors, we won’t be polite to those forces that have shown an unsightly appearance!”

“And there are some smaller forces, those first-rate forces, especially a few dynasties, they are quite greedy. They took the opportunity to seize many territories and plundered a great deal!”

An elder added.

“Well, all of that has been noted. Do you have any other suggestions regarding the future development of the Su family?” Su Yun nodded and scanned the crowd with his gaze while asking.

Currently, in control of the Su family’s three thousand Dharma forms and dozens of Ancient Antiquity Realm experts, Su Yun’s authority and prestige were increasing day by day. The power emanating from his eyes could make even the Ancient Antiquity Realm experts tremble.

“My suggestion…”

The elders decided on the Su family’s future development in the following time. They decided not to expand their territory but to consolidate their position first. They planned to unify the Northern Wilderness and then digest the resources of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect before expanding towards other forces. By then, the Su family’s power would skyrocket once again, giving them even more confidence.

“Oh, everyone, the Old Ancestor Baiyun approached our Clan Leader a few days ago, saying that he wants to form a marriage alliance with the Su family. The proposed marriage partner is the little princess of the Baiyun Dynasty!”

Su Yun’s eyes flickered at this moment, and he suddenly spoke up.

The crowd was shocked. Soon, an elder stroked his beard and laughed, “Old Ancestor Baiyun is acting out of desperation. He wants to solve the crisis of the Baiyun Dynasty through a marriage alliance!”

The people sneered. Just a little princess, no matter how beautiful she might be, could she be more important than conquering the Northern Wilderness?

“No, that little princess is extraordinary. Her aptitude is extremely high, reaching the pinnacle level that can be compared to a Divine Body!” Su Yun shook his head, said in a solemn tone.

Comparable to a Divine Body?

The crowd was astonished, their eyes filled with contemplation. If she was comparable to a Divine Body, then she was exceptional. That kind of remarkable aptitude was said to be destined to become a Saint, a peerless anomaly.

If such an anomaly married into the Su family thousands of years later, the Su family might gain another Saint. In that case, the benefits would be considerable. For a moment, the crowd was moved.

“I wonder which young member of the Su family is going to be the one to marry into the Su family. Su Canghai that boy has good talent. He’s already in the Heavenly Human Realm at such a young age. How about choosing him?” A smiling elder suggested.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yun was startled. He glared at the elder, baffled as to why the Clan Leader was glaring at him.

It was only after a while that he understood the reason. He heard Su Yun whisper, “The marriage partner that Old Ancestor Baiyun wants is the Changsheng Ancestor!”

“He wants to marry Baiyue Song to the Ancestor!”

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in shock, especially the previous elder, who couldn’t help but inhale sharply, feeling lucky that he had narrowly avoided trouble.

“That’s too terrifying. He almost caused a disaster for himself.”

“Hmm?”

Standing beside them, Su Qing had a sudden chill in her eyes. Her white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and a faint cold aura surrounded her beautiful face.

“What did the Ancestor say about it?” An elder couldn’t help but ask.

Although no one said anything, their ears perked up, and their eyes looked towards Su Yun, urging him to clarify the situation.

“The Ancestor hasn’t come out yet, so how would I know? But since the Ancestor has already married that Gu family woman, he will unlikely refuse Baiyue Song!” Su Yun sighed helplessly and whispered.

“But since the Ancestor hasn’t come out, I can only stabilize the situation for now and wait for the Ancestor’s decision!” Everyone suddenly understood.

“I think that makes sense. Let’s wait for the Ancestor’s decision. In the meantime, the Baiyun Dynasty will temporarily hold off, and we’ll focus on stabilizing the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s territory,” a senior elder nodded.

They didn’t know what the Changsheng Ancestor was thinking, so they naturally didn’t dare to make decisions without his approval.

“Very well!”

“That’s the plan!”

Everyone agreed, one after another.

“The Ancestor has been in seclusion for more than three days. It’s unusual!” an elder couldn’t help but lament.

“The Ancestor is an extraordinary figure. How could he be indulging in pleasures for so long? There must be other reasons for delaying him!” Su Yun glared at him, disapproving of such remarks.

“Alright, let’s move on to discussing resource allocation!” Su Yun waved his hand, changing the subject.

“Humph! I’m leaving!” Su Qing snorted coldly, then turned and walked away. Her reaction left several senior elders speechless, as they knew her inner thoughts. But when it came to matters involving the Changsheng Ancestor, they couldn’t help her.

“Sigh, let her come out on her own!” A senior elder shook his head. Soon, everyone shifted their attention to the clan meeting, focusing on resource allocation and planning the Su family’s future development.

“Su Changsheng, you fool… sniff… I can’t take it anymore… get out of here…”

On the other side, Su Changsheng had been trapped inside the bridal chamber for three days and nights. Finally, he was kicked out by Gu Qingge, who was blushing with anger and annoyance. His clothes were disheveled, and his hair was messy.

“It’s already the fourth day! No wonder kings don’t hold early court sessions!” Su Changsheng lazily exclaimed, realizing that the land of tender affection was a trap.

That saying was indeed true. He had almost lost himself in Gu Qingge. No, perhaps he had already lost himself. If it weren’t for Gu Qingge’s inability to bear it…

On the first day, he thought…

Su Changsheng, oh Su Changsheng, how could you become so depraved? You should diligently cultivate, develop the family, and marry wives and concubines. The result is spending the whole day in a daze, enchanted by Gu Qingge’s songs.

On the second day, he thought…

Su Changsheng, oh Su Changsheng, you should regain your composure and not continue to be deprived… The result is still spending the whole day in a daze, making Gu Qingge almost cry.

On the third day…

She had already cried. Her eyes were red, and she sobbed, but the result… he was even more excited and continued as before…

On the fourth day…

He was finally kicked out by Gu Qingge, who couldn’t take it anymore.
