Chapter 43: Was Everything an Illusion?

“A mere Lin family is nothing.”
Su Chen smiled and waved his hand. He did not seem to care about what had just happened.
In fact, it was true.
He was backed by the Great Mystery Sect and the Su family!
Although the combined forces of the two parties were not enough for him to rule the entire East Barrens, he was the only one who had a unique background within a radius of ten thousand miles.
“Uncle Ye!”
Su Chen seemed to have recalled what just happened and said again, “1 heard that your daughter, Ye Ruxue, is virtuous and beautiful. Today, I’m here on my parents’ orders to deliver the betrothal gift! 1 hope Uncle Ye will grant my wish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Fu, who was standing at the side, took a step forward, holding a tray with both hands. On it was a red storage ring. He handed it to Ye Canghai.
“Hahaha…”
Ye Canghai laughed out loud at this scene. With a smile, he said, “Nephew, you don’t need to do so. Our two families are old friends, there’s no ceremony between us.”
Su Chen said with a smile, “This is what I should do.”
“Alright, your offer is too good to refuse, 1’11 accept it!”
Ye Canghai nodded and did not continue to be polite.
He also understood that these formalities were essential.
After the betrothal gift was given, this marriage was finally determined.
The next step was to exchange the marriage certificates!
Of course, Su Chen had no say in the matter of exchanging marriage certificates. It had to be decided by the elders of both sides.
In his previous life, Su Chen and Ye Ruxue’s marriage did not succeed because they did not exchange their marriage certificates. Naturally, the wedding could not be held.
Over time, as Ye Ruxue’s strength grew stronger, their marriage was completely shelved.
Soon after.
The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Ye Canghai arranged for someone to take Su Chen and Uncle Fu away.
This was exactly what Su Chen wanted.
He was prepared to cultivate the black-level upper-rank God Walking Steps to small attainment before the inner sect test.
Night fell.
After dinner, Su Chen strolled aimlessly in the backyard of the Ye family.
He seemed to walk slowly, but each step he took had a unique landing point.
After an hour, Su Chen finally stopped and let out a sigh.
It had to be said that the Ye family was indeed the number one family in Qingyang City. Their mansion was truly huge!
He used the black-level upper-rank God Walking Steps to walk around for an hour, but he still could not finish navigating the whole place.
At this moment, he had also officially reached the introductory level of God Walking Steps.
“Hmm? No! Why did I hear my name?”
Su Chen moved forward again.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the wall beside him.
He heard someone mention his name behind this wall.
Su Chen flew into the air and looked down at the scene on the other side of the courtyard wall.
Beside a small lake, two women, one sitting and one standing, were talking.
“Who are they? How do they know my name?”
Su Chen frowned slightly at the scene.
He landed on the ground again and searched the surroundings. Soon, he found the path to the small lake.
Su Chen walked toward the lake without hesitation.
At the same time.
In a small pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Xiao Yu stood beside Ye Ruxue and was chattering non-stop.
“Miss, did you notice how powerful Young Master Su is today? He injured the Lin family’s Revered Elder without moving! 1 heard from All Da that the Lin family’s Revered Elder is a Level Seven Qi Sea Realm cultivator! Miss, do you know what a Level Seven Qi Sea Realm cultivator is? I heard that he could be ranked in the top ten among all the Lin family’s revered elders! However, Young Master Su defeated him without even moving! How powerful do you think Young Master Su is? What realm do you think Young Master Su is at? Miss, are you listening to me? Miss?”
Xiao Yu suddenly raised her voice in her last sentence.
Ye Ruxue immediately came back to her senses and asked blankly, “Hmm? What did you just say?”
Xiao Yu was speechless.
“Miss, what’s wrong? You have been absent-minded since you came back at noon. Tell me, are you thinking about Young Master Su?”
Xiao Yu giggled as she leaned over and stared at Ye Ruxue.
“Eh…”
Ye Ruxue nodded perfunctorily.
In a little while, her mind was elsewhere again and she did not hear what Xiao Yu was saying at all.
However, Xiao Yu’s words hit the nail.
She had been thinking about Su Chen all afternoon.
It wasn’t because of anything else, but mainly because she was extremely puzzled and curious…
According to her memories from her previous life.
Everything about Su Chen today was too abnormal. It was as if he had changed into a different person!
Everything about him changed other than his body shape.
Even his temperament had become completely different.
Though Su Chen was also gentle and refined in her previous life, now his entire body was emitting an irresistible charm that attracted her at all times.
This was something that Su Chen did not have in his previous life.
The most important thing was Su Chen’s cultivation!
Logically speaking, he should have just entered the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!
How could he defeat a Level Seven Qi Sea Realm cultivator in an instant?
“Are my memories from my previous life all illusions?”
Ye Ruxue started to question the meaning of her life.
She had just been reborn for less than a day, but everything she experienced was different from her previous life.
This made her suspect that everything in her previous life was just a dream.
However, the memories of ten thousand years in her mind kept reminding her that everything in her previous life was real and not a dream.
“Regardless of whether everything that happened today was caused by my rebirth, at the very least, one thing is certain. The story of my previous life has begun to develop in a completely different direction! In other words, the opportunities in my previous life are very likely to appear early, and the opportunities that originally belonged to me may no longer happen to me!”
Thinking of this, Ye Ruxue became extremely anxious.
The reason why she was able to skyrocket in cultivation in her previous life was inseparable from the opportunities she obtained along the way.
Although some of the opportunities in this life had become dispensable to her, since some of the opportunities were passed on to her through memories, and those opportunities were all in her mind, there were still some opportunities that could change her physique and increase her strength!
This was what she needed the most right now.
In her eyes, this body’s aptitude was too poor, and its foundation was weak. It was simply unable to withstand the cultivation methods in her memory.
Therefore, she had to get her hands on those opportunities!
“Xiao Yu!”
Ye Ruxue snapped back to her senses and flipped her hand. A piece of paper with groves of words appeared in her palm.
She handed it to Xiao Yu and instructed, “Go to the medicine storehouse now and see if you can find these medicinal herbs. If you can’t find them, go to the market to buy them! Remember, you have to be fast!”
“Ah… Yes, Miss.”
Although Xiao Yu was very confused, she still nodded and took the paper.
She recognized many of the herbs on the list, but she couldn’t understand them when they were put together.
Without thinking too much, Xiao Yu turned around and walked toward the Ye family’s medicine storehouse.
However, before she had gone far, she suddenly stood where she was and shouted in surprise, “Young Master Su! How did you find this place?”
