Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 104: Refusing to Marry into the Family: A Big Gamble

The Su family's situation is precarious.

It can even be said that the entire Su family is standing on the edge of a cliff.

For two consecutive generations, no new cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage was born.

What's worse is that perhaps they are used to catching any spirit fish in Nanhu Lake and exchanging them for spirit stones.

The ability of the Su family monks to deal with crises is far inferior to that of other families.

The last time the demons invaded, Su Anyi, who was in charge of guarding Nanhu Lake, did not choose to fight back after discovering the other party's identity as a demon cultivator, but simply fled.

If Su Ruihe had arrived half a minute later, the other party would have escaped with a large number of second-level spirit fish.

Old Master Su wanted to pick up his sword and chop Su Anyi to death.

But that was his own son, and he really couldn't bear to let him go.

If my son is not capable of this, I can still train my grandson. After all, the life span of a foundation-building cultivator is long enough.

However, Su Huaitao is good at everything except cultivation.

His father Su Anyi was able to cultivate to the sixth level of foundation building. Although he was unable to break through, there was still a glimmer of hope.

So far, Su Huaitao is only at the fifth level of foundation building, and is still a long way from the late stage of foundation building.

Judging from the current situation, it would be better to rely on Su Yuanpeng and Su Wanqing than on them.

But the problem is that Su Ruihe no longer has the time to protect their safe growth.

A foundation-building cultivator can live for two hundred years, but that is based on the premise that he is free from illness and disaster.

No one knows except Su Huaitao.

Su Ruihe now has only five years left.

He now has two things that worry him.

First, after he leaves, can the Su family keep the Nanhu family business?

If this original treasure pot is not handled properly, it will directly become the fuse for the Su family's destruction.

The second is whether Su Yuanpeng and Su Wanqing can both break through to the late stage of foundation building and restore the glory of the Su family.

Su Ruihe has been worried about these two things for several years.

But there has been no good solution.

Until the second half of last year, the same name appeared in his ears many times - Xiao Chen.

The speed at which this young man who suddenly rose to prominence was unbelievable.

It completely broke everyone's cognition and also broke the fastest cultivation record of Lihuomen.

If it were just this, Su Ruihe would not have any other thoughts.

After all, Xiao Chen had already taken the lead and became Elder Chen's disciple. If he wanted to snatch him away, he would have to pay a huge price.

Even if Xiao Chen breaks through the foundation.

Su Ruihe remained unmoved.

But a few days ago, after the news that Xiao Chen killed the Hundred Poison Demon was confirmed, he finally couldn't sit still anymore.

A newly promoted foundation-building cultivator and a foundation-building cultivator who has the ability to kill a demon cultivator of the same level are completely different concepts.

The difficulty of killing and defeating cannot be compared at all.

Moreover, such practical experience and courage are extremely valuable.

Su Ruihe calculated that at this rate, it might only take four years for Xiao Chen to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

By then, with the Su family's top-grade magic weapons and the family formation, he will be fully capable of guarding Nanhu and fighting against the cultivators in the late foundation-building stage.

Even more so, if Xiao Chen can demonstrate his strength through the Demon Exorcism Hall later.

If he helps to build momentum and publicity, perhaps he can scare off potential enemies and win without fighting.

But the question is, how can I ask Xiao Chen for help?

The answer Su Ruihe finally gave was on the gift list in front of him.

"A top-grade magical artifact, the Fire Treasure Gourd, a top-grade magical artifact, a tassel-edged brocade handkerchief, eight bottles of the second-grade Yishen Pill, fifty bottles of the second-grade Changqing Pill, and fifty bottles of the second-grade Yongquan Pill."

"Ten thousand spirit stones, 10% dividend from Nanhu, 20% dividend from Spiritual Medicine Garden, and 40% dividend from Xiaonan Mountain."

Skip some functional and etiquette items.

Xiao Chen read out the nine most important items on the gift list softly.

It must be said that the Su family was still a large family after all. Even if the other cultivators were to go bankrupt, few could come up with a gift list. He first looked at the contract on the right, which was a secret contract of the soul.

The above conditions are quite harsh, requiring the monks who sign to guard Nanhu for the Su family for fifty years.

Then he looked at the marriage certificate on the left, which was a marriage certificate for marrying a son-in-law.

The person to be married into the family turned out to be Su Wanqing!

Xiao Chen remained calm on the surface, but was shocked in his heart.

What does the Su family mean by this?
Su Ruihe tapped the table with his fingers: "Whether you choose the contract or the marriage certificate, you can get everything on the gift list."

what?
Xiao Chen was really shocked this time.

He initially thought that he had to sign both the contract and the marriage certificate in order to obtain those things.

So, can I get so many things just by marrying Su Wanqing?

Eating soft food?
Su Ruihe didn't know what Xiao Chen was thinking, so he continued, "The fish feast hasn't ended yet. I'm willing to ask all the guests to be witnesses. I won't break my promise."

"If you don't want outsiders to know the details of the transaction, you can also disclose only part of it and advertise it as the jackpot reward."

"As long as you nod, these are not a problem."

I see. No wonder we chose this time to talk.

To be fair, the conditions offered by the Su family this time are quite generous.

Although Su Wanqing is a little silly, she is actually quite pretty.

Moreover, she has great talent and has great potential to become a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage in the future.

This soft rice is actually quite fragrant.

"I'm sorry, Senior Su, I refuse this deal."

Xiao Chen refused decisively.

Su Ruihe's eyes narrowed. Xiao Chen's refusal was completely beyond his expectations.

It’s not that he didn’t expect this situation.

But he really didn't expect that Xiao Chen would refuse so decisively.

Even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building would find it hard not to be tempted by the things on the gift list.

He said carefully: "If you have any concerns, we can talk about it."

Xiao Chen shook his head. Su Ruihe didn't know that he had Hextech, so no matter how courageous he was, he would actually seriously underestimate him.

As a result, there was no way for the two sides to continue the talks.

"Mr. Su, thank you very much for your appreciation of me. I will keep today's events confidential. But please allow me to reject this deal."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he stood up.

"Mr. Su, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

……

Su Ruihe looked at the gift list on the table silently, his eyes distracted, as if he had been distracted.

Xiao Chen didn't rush him, but stood there waiting quietly.

After a while, Su Ruihe's eyes gradually became firm.

He slowly stood up and reached out to take back the contract and marriage certificate.

Then he actually smiled, pointed at the gift list and said, "Since you won the jackpot, these things can be considered as my gifts to you."

When saying this, Su Ruihe's tone was the same as usual.

It seemed as if what he gave away was just a spirit stone.

These things are not a small amount even for the Su family.

But Su Ruihe decided to be a gambler.

In his recent thinking, the experience accumulated over more than a hundred years led him to a surprising conclusion.

Xiao Chen was very confident. When he looked at these things, he felt like he was looking down from a high position.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be: Although he has nothing now, sooner or later these things will be within his reach.

Su Ruihe decided to take a risk and make a real gamble.

He bet that Xiao Chen was not blindly confident, that Xiao Chen would soar to great heights in the future, and that he would remember this investment today.
