Lu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know why Elder Su had set his sights on him. In truth, Su Hexuan had no other choice. Su Ye was bound to take charge of the Hundred Herb Hall in the future. As an independent force, Su Hexuan naturally couldn't choose to form a marriage alliance with the Nine Dragons Dynasty and the other major forces. Otherwise, the Hundred Herb Hall would be given away for nothing. In the entire Central Continent, other than the major forces, where else could he find a young man with outstanding strength and character? Only Lu Xuan was an excellent choice.
"Elder Su, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility. It's just that my memory has yet to recover. I don't remember anything in the past. How can I decide my marriage so casually? If I were to regain my memory one day and remember that I am still engaged, wouldn't I become a heartless person? I hope that Hall Master Su can forgive me for this matter. "Lu Xuan spoke with sincerity.
What Lu Xuan said was reasonable and reasonable. Su Hexuan did not know what to say at that moment. It was a rule that one's parents were the ones who arranged the marriage. Lu Xuan could not remember anything at the moment, and it was indeed not the right time to make decisions about his marriage.
"Then what do you think of Su Ye?" Su Hexuan asked again.
"Miss Su is naturally an excellent person. She is kind-hearted and extremely intelligent. If anyone can become Miss Su's son-in-law, it would definitely be a blessing accumulated in their previous life." Lu Xuan was trying to get something out of him.
Su Hexuan rolled his eyes when he heard this. Why didn't you agree to it even though you've said so much? However, he didn't continue to press the issue. He sighed and said, "Since Lu Xuan has other difficulties, this old man won't say anything more. If you recover your memory in the future, our Su Family will be more than happy to welcome you."
"Of course, of course." Lu Xuan cupped his hands together and laughed awkwardly. As he watched Su Hexuan leave, Lu Xuan couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. It seemed that he shouldn't stay in the Hundred Herb Hall for too long. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life here. Although Su Ye was a pretty good girl, Lu Xuan didn't want to stay in the Hundred Herb Hall forever. He couldn't possibly tie himself down because of this.
"Grandfather, what did young master Lu say?" When Su Ye saw Su Hexuan come out, she could not help but ask nervously.
Su Hexuan shrugged. "I didn't object, but I didn't agree either."
"What's that?"
"He said that he hasn't recovered his memories and doesn't know anything about his past. He can't make decisions for his marriage."
"Oh." Su Ye replied softly. She felt somewhat disappointed in her heart, unable to suppress the disappointment. She understood that she still hoped that Lu Xuan would agree.
"Ye 'er, don't be sad. There are so many good men in the world. We don't lack Lu Xuan, do we? If I spread the news that you're looking for a husband, there will definitely be a large number of talented geniuses lining up. "Su Hexuan patted Su Ye's shoulder and comforted her.
Su Ye didn't care too much about this. She was still young and wasn't in a hurry to get married. She asked again, "Grandfather, what about the medicinal pool?"
Su Hexuan was slightly taken aback. He sighed and waved his hand. "Forget it. It's your dowry anyway. You can give it to whoever you want. This old man doesn't care anymore."
After he finished speaking, Su Hexuan couldn't help but turn around and say, "After so many years, the medicinal properties in the medicinal pool are still quite strong. If you want Lu Xuan to go, remember to let him recover from his injuries first. Don't make things worse."
"I understand." Su Ye was overjoyed. She knew that Su Hexuan had tacitly agreed to give the medicinal pool to Lu Xuan.
Three days passed by in a flash. These three days were extremely peaceful. Ever since Lu Xuan arrived in the Central Plains, he had spent the most peaceful days. All he needed to do was rest and recuperate. The servants of the Hundred Herb Hall took care of all the miscellaneous chores. Su Ye even personally served tea and water to Lu Xuan, serving him meticulously.
On the contrary, this made Lu Xuan feel embarrassed. It was as if he had come here to be a lord. This was especially true when Su Hexuan came to talk about marriage a few days ago. This made Lu Xuan feel very awkward when facing Su Ye. However, Su Ye didn't seem to be acting strangely. This made Lu Xuan feel slightly relieved. Su Hexuan must have come alone and Su Ye didn't know about it.
What was worth mentioning was that during these three days, Xia Xi specially made a trip to the Hundred Herb Hall to look for Lu Xuan. Upon seeing Lu Xuan, he immediately gave Lu Xuan plenty of gifts. Spirit elixirs, supreme-grade primordial stones, and so on. Lu Xuan was overwhelmed by the favor. These were all Xia Xi's personal stash and weren't taken out from the palace's treasury.
This time, Xia Xi didn't have any urgent matters to attend to. Firstly, he wanted to thank Lu Xuan for saving his life. Secondly, he wanted to learn from Lu Xuan about cultivation. Previously, he saw that Lu Xuan was also at the first level of the Origin Realm, but Lu Xuan's strength far surpassed his own. Lu Xuan could kill a few martial artists of the same level as him effortlessly. Furthermore, Lu Xuan was able to kill Wang Hailin despite Sang Yuwen's interference. It was truly an eye-opener for Xia Xi.
Lu Xuan did not hold anything back. Seeing that Xia Xi was also a swordsman, he imparted everything he knew about the way of the sword to Xia Xi. As for how much Xia Xi was able to comprehend, that would depend on his own comprehension.
"I am truly ashamed. Lu Xuan, you are younger than me by a few years, yet you have already comprehended the essence of the sword dao. As for me, I have yet to comprehend the pinnacle of sword intent." Xia Xi shook his head. With his status, he naturally didn't lack any spirit elixirs. He didn't have to worry about his cultivation level, but the comprehension of cultivation wasn't something elixirs could help him with.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Fourth Prince is a noble prince and is destined to rule over a region in the future. Why do you need to care about such things?"
"Haha, Lu Xuan, that's where you're wrong. While the Nine Dragons Dynasty is ruled by the royal family, power is still the most important. Without enough power, even if you're the current crown prince, you might not be able to inherit the throne smoothly," Xia Xi said meaningfully.
Lu Xuan seemed to be deep in thought, but he didn't continue asking. Instead, he asked, "Is there any movement from Beibo Ruo?"
Xia Xi shook his head and said, "Beibo Ruo suffered a great loss in the last battle. Furthermore, Father has already ordered the entire country to be on high alert. Beibo Ruo won't be able to cause any trouble for the time being, but I don't know how long these peaceful days will last. Lu Xuan, you don't have to worry. Father still values Hundred Herb Hall. After obtaining Hall Master Su's approval, many of our empire's experts have been stationed in Dongtai City. It's absolutely safe here."
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. To him, this was naturally good news. Right now, he only wanted to recover his memory as soon as possible. He didn't want to get involved in some miscellaneous matters, lest he died in a foreign land without knowing why.
At this point, Xia Xi looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does the Fourth Prince want to say? Just say it."
Hearing this, Xia Xi seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly lowered his voice and dismissed all the servants. With a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "I won't hide it from you, Lu Xuan. Last time, Beibo Ruo launched a huge attack on our imperial city. Because we were ambushed, Father personally went to the battlefield, but unexpectedly, he was ambushed by the Demonfiend. Although he survived by relying on our empire's self-defense weapon, he fell ill. Now, Hall Master Su has been invited to treat him personally. However, according to the information I received from Hall Master Su, it seems … the situation isn't very good."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's heart trembled. This was a big matter, and Xia Xi actually told him? Once this matter was leaked, Beibo Ruo and the Baleful Yin School would probably be ready to make trouble again. However, what did Xia Xi mean by telling him this? Lu Xuan didn't believe that a dignified prince would use this matter to chat with him.
"What does the Fourth Prince mean?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Lu Xuan and I hit it off right from the start, and we are friends who have gone through trials and tribulations together. Therefore, I won't hide this from you. I believe you know that the struggle for the throne is very common in the imperial clan. Once Father really can't hold on, I am afraid I will have to face the same situation. It isn't that I want to fight for it, but I have no choice. The cruelty in the imperial clan is far beyond your imagination. If I don't fight for it, then when my brothers ascend the throne in the future, my days will probably not be good. Therefore, if there is anything that I need help with in the future, I hope that Lu Xuan can lend a hand." Xia Xi looked at Lu Xuan with sincere eyes and spoke in a low voice.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but find it funny when he heard what Xia Xi said. He was only at the first level of the Origin Realm. Even if he worked harder, he would at most be at the second level of the Origin Realm in a short period of time. The Nine Dragons Empire was a fourth grade faction after all, and their strongest expert had even reached the Great Void Realm. How could a small fry like him be of any help?
After Lu Xuan said all this, Xia Xi smiled mysteriously and said, "From what I know, Lu Xuan, I am afraid that you will receive a great opportunity in the near future. Your strength will probably increase by leaps and bounds. Furthermore, the Great Void Realm experts will not interfere in the struggle for the throne of the Nine Dragons Empire. They will only care about the existence of the Nine Dragons Empire. The replacement of the Emperor has nothing to do with them. Furthermore, if Lu Xuan is able to help me seize the throne, you will be able to reap great benefits. As for the specific situation, I am still not sure. After all, everything has yet to be decided."
There will be a great opportunity today? If I help Xia Xi seize the throne, I will be able to reap great benefits? Lu Xuan was curious when he heard what Xia Xi said. Even though he was interested in the great benefits, he still didn't agree to it rashly. This kind of thing could possibly cost him his life. It was not something that could be easily promised.
He immediately said, "I am indebted to the Fourth Highness for thinking highly of me. If Lu Xuan is able to help in any way, I will definitely not be stingy. But if I am unable to do so, I hope that the Fourth Highness will be magnanimous enough to forgive me."
Xia Xi heard what Lu Xuan said and laughed loudly, "I am satisfied with your words. Don't worry. Since I, Xia Xi, treat you as a friend, I will definitely not send you to your death. I might not be a completely good person, but I will definitely treat my friends with sincerity."
Lu Xuan actually believed Xia Xi's words. Ever since he learned the Soul Searching Art, Lu Xuan's judgment of people became more and more accurate. Even without the Soul Searching Art, just by looking at the other party's eyes, Lu Xuan was able to judge whether a person was worth befriending or not.
"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore today, Lu Xuan. I hope you can keep what I just said a secret. After all, nothing has been decided yet." Xia Xi stood up and cupped his fists at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan cupped his fists to send Xia Xi off, but inwardly, he thought, 'Sure enough, before the previous wave subsides, another wave rises. I just had a good rest for a few days, but it seems like the Nine Dragons Dynasty is about to change the throne again.'
