âHuh?â Xu Que opened his eyes wide and glanced at the old man in the white robe. Then he ignored him. He looked directly at Qin Susu and asked, âIs this your father?â
âBah, whatâs wrong with your eyes? Is your elder sister that old? This is my great-great-great grandfather!â Qin Susu was immediately annoyed.
âGreat-great-great grandfather?â Xu Que looked at the old man in the white robe and was somewhat astonished. The old manâs Cultivation Stage was unpredictable and his aura was powerful. At first glance, he seemed to be in the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, but, in fact, he was far higher than the Earth Celestial Stage. It was difficult to determine his actual strength.
Such a powerful figure and he was the great-great-great grandfather of Qin Susu. Clearly, Qin Susuâs family background wasnât simple!
âThis old man here is Qin Sanli, I wonder if my little friend has ever heard about me?â Just then, the white-robed old man laughed and asked kindly.
âGrab three balls? Wow, youâre awesome. You can catch three at a time. Itâs not easy. Itâs extraordinary!â Xu Que was shocked.
âMy little friend is very kind!â Qin Sanli didnât understand Xu Queâs underlying meaning at all. He could only take it as praise.
âElder Qin is kind and approachable, this is rare! Iâm the Exploding Heavens Factionâs Bai Zhantang. There are no elders in my house, but I have a sister andâŠuh, wait a minute, Iâll count first,âŠone, two, three, four, five, well, I have eight fiancees!â Xu Que gave a truthful account.
On one hand, he thought the elderly man was really nice and amiable and not as arrogant like other strong aces. On the other hand, he also wanted to try to find out whether he could inquire from Qin Susu and the elderly man about the location of Jade Lake or information about Jiang Hongyan and the others!
âEight wives? Younger brother, I didnât know that you were that popular!â Qin Susu was shocked and then laughed.
âUh, Su Su, you shouldnât say that. I had at least ten companions when I was young too. Itâs not about popularity, and this young chap Bai said that he hasnât married anyone of them. You still have a chanceâŠlet go, let go, let go, Iâll stop, you quickly let go of my beard!â Qin Sanli was pouring out words, but before he could finish, Qin Susu grabbed his long beard and stamped on her foot anxiously.
âHumph, this time Iâll pull out a few strands of your beard. If you dare to talk nonsense, Iâll pull it all out!â Qin Susu was annoyed, but she let go of his beard.
âOuch, my poor old beard!â Qin Sanli covered his chin and rubbed it several times before he looked at Xu Que. He was embarrassed and said, âThe old manâs granddaughter is really bossy. Sorry to let you see such a scene. In fact, she isnât usually like that.â
Isnât usually like that?
Xu Que was amused. I suppose this girlâs usual behavior could be worse than just now?
But he didnât continue this conversation. He smiled and asked, âElder, are there any other reasons for asking me over?â
âHa, ha, I saw your extraordinary strength and how you made a name for yourself in just one fight. I wanted to invite you over to have tea. I wonder if you would give me a chance?â Qin Sanli laughed and looked at Xu Que.
âDrink teaâŠall right! Letâs go!â Xu Que hesitated a little, but nodded his head and agreed.
Originally, he wanted to take a tour of the City Governorâs Mansion to reap more benefits, but it was rare to encounter such a talkative ace. He must do him a favor, have a cup of tea with him, and then inquire about some information.
When Qin Sanli heard Xu Queâs answer, he was immediately on cloud nine. He led Xu Que to a teahouse nearby.
âSusu, I just remembered that before your great-great grandpa seemed to be looking for you. Why donât you go back first!â When he arrived at the entrance of the teahouse, Qin Sanli found a poor excuse to dismiss Qin Susu. Qin Susu naturally guessed what Qin Sanli was up to, but she didnât care enough to expose him. Instead, she stared at Xu Que and engaged in soundless communication as she said, âYounger brother, no matter what the old man says, do not promise him, otherwiseâŠha, ha, Iâll kill you!â
âOh my, d*mn it!â Xu Que was unhappy to hear that.
Are you kidding me, who do you think you are? How are you capable of killing me? What kind of game do you want to play, tell me about it?
âIâm leaving!â Finally, Qin Susu gave Xu Que a warning glare, bid farewell, and left.
Qin Sanli smiled at Xu Que and said, âYoung chap, my granddaughter is like this. Donât mind her. She must have said something to you just now. Just ignore her. Letâs talk about our business! Letâs go!â
After that, Qin Sanli warmly welcomed Xu Que into the teahouse.
They sat in a small room. After the shopkeeper had finished serving their tea and left the room, Qin Sanli was impatient as he asked, âWhat do you think of our Susu?â
âUhâŠElder, thatâs a bit too straightforward. Iâd better give you a tactful replyâsheâs not too good!â Xu Que rolled his eyes and replied. He then picked up a cup and drank his tea.
Qin Sanli was dumbfounded and couldnât continue the conversation. Obviously, he wasnât expecting Xu Que to give such an answer.
A tactful reply yet sheâs still not good enough?
If it isnât a tactful reply, wouldnât it be worse?
âYoung chap, you shouldnât be so superficial. In fact, my granddaughter is very good-natured,â Qin Sanli explained quickly.
âDonât look at the surface? Then itâs even worse!â Xu Que shook his head and said, âElder, youâd better not go round and round. Speak frankly, do you want me to marry your granddaughter?â
âUhâŠâ Qin Sanli was caught off-guard once again. He didnât expect Xu Que to be so direct, but that was really his intention.
After a period of silence, Qin Sanli simply nodded, âSince you want to get to the point, then I shall speak my mind. Over the years, Iâve seen countless aces but have never seen such a talented and outstanding young man like you. And for Susu, a person with high expectations of those around her, yet she can be so close to you. It certainly implies that you have a good personality and are excellent in other aspects too. I think youâre a good candidate.â
A good personality and excellent in other aspects?
Xu Que nodded his head approvingly when he heard that. âElder, I have to say this, you have an accurate judgment of people. But Iâm afraid I canât accept your suggestion!â
âOh? Whatâs troubling you? You can tell me. I have some power in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, maybe I can help you solve it!â Qin Sanli asked immediately.
âUh, it canât be solved!â Xu Que sighed and shook his head. âIâm separated from my eight fiancees and a cute puppy too. Before I find them, I really donât have the time to think about anything else.â
Speaking of that, Xu Queâs eyes flashed with a tinge of sadness and longing. The sadness was fake, but his longing was real!
When Qin Sanli saw Xu Queâs expression, he immediately got serious and said earnestly, âDonât be anxious. Where were you separated from them? I have friends all over the world. Maybe they can help!â
âUh, I donât know!â Xu Que sighed again and said, âI only know that my wives may have gone to a place called Jade Lake. Unfortunately, I already know that none of the sects in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm are called Jade Lake. So I have to find them in the other four Celestial Realms and maybe even the Heaven Continent!â
âJade Lake?â Qin Sanli was stunned and he frowned. âYoung chap, are you sure that your wives went to the Jade Lake?â
âElder, do you know Jade Lake?â Xu Que was startled and then filled with surprise.
He didnât have much hope, but from the tone of Qin Sanli, he definitely knew Jade Lake!
âYes, the Holy Ground, Jade Lake, one of the Great Ten Ancient Gates, how could I not know? ButâŠâ While Qin Sanli explained, he smiled bitterly and looked at Xu Que. âYoung chap, this Jade Lake is located in the Heaven Continent. If you want to find them, Iâm afraid itâs impossible!â
