Su Wen Wen's eyes showed a bit of desire, saying: "I also want to know what this secret is, fortunately, I'll soon become the Lord"
Su Cher thought about it and muttered: "No wonder there were so many ridiculous aristocrats in history, as long as they're a direct descendant, they'll always be able to take control of a Lord"
"We're hosting this banquet to bring you together with a direct descendant of the 9 Lords, unfortunately, your heart is elsewhere"
"Now, I've explained everything clearly to you"
"This is the fate of the 9 Lords, no one can go against it"
"What if someone goes against it?" Su Cher asked unwillingly.
"The Lord has the right to enforce it, the other 8 Lords will also work together to enforce it"
"To keep this secret, even if a direct descendant of the 9 Lords dies, they'll still have to get married, they can't marry an outsider"
Su Cher was stunned for a while, unable to regain her senses.
Su Wen Wen sighed and said: "Give the Mech to the family, after they've finished researching it, you'll be able to take it and marry into another Lord, only then will you be able to obtain an unprecedented amount of wealth — — – you'll be able to live the rest of your life in luxury"
Su Cher bit her lip: "But I like Gu Qing Shan"
Su Wen Sheng showed an expression of understanding, then spoke with an experienced tone: "Affection is only temporary, as time goes by, you'll understand, compared to wealth and power, a man is nothing"
"Listen to father, give up the Mech and marry into a Lord, if you don't like your future husband, that's even better"
"Even better?" Su Cher didn't understand.
"Yes, you're a peak 4th stage Elementalist, and you have the Blazing Angel Mech, after you marry into that Lord, you'll have a certain amount of authority, slowly holding that Lord's power in your hands, you'll be able to cooperate with me from afar"
Su Wen Wen's expression was full of excitement as he spoke: "I'm about to become the Su family's Lord, while you'll have authority in another Lord's family, as long as you cooperate with me, our Su family's future will be glorious"
Su Cher was stunned for a while, then suddenly asked: "How's grandpa doing right now?"
Su Wen Sheng paused, his beautiful imagination was interrupted, a bit annoyed.
"He's still being monitored, but the doctor said that his days are almost over"
"I'll go check on him."
"… That's fine. Remember what I said. I'm doing this for your own good," Su Wensheng said earnestly.
Su Cher looked deeply at her father's face and said word by word, "I will remember it."
"Yes, the second branch actually dared to touch you. Damn it. You don't have to worry about what happened next." Su Wensheng's face was full of anger when he thought of this.
Su Cher walked out of the study and looked up at the sky.
The dark clouds hung low in the sky, preparing for a heavy rain.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Forcing me to marry someone just for a secret?" She muttered.
For some reason, the image of Anna holding Gu Qing Shan's hand at the banquet reappeared in his mind.
Su Cher tightly pursed her lips. Her pair of dark and cold eyes were like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible for others to see through her emotions and thoughts.
She reached out her hand and touched her head.
A few minutes later.
She was standing outside a building.
For the past few decades, this has been the center of power for the entire Su family, as well as the residence of the Su family's head, Su Xing Chao.
Su Cher stared at this building, hesitated for a while, but didn't go up to knock on the door.
Tonight, the Su family is holding a grand banquet, so there's almost no one here, only the medical staff occasionally come out.
Su Cher paced back and forth on the road, occasionally she would quickly walk to the door of the building, stop for a bit, then quickly go back.
A few times, she's already raised her hand at the door, as long as she lightly knocks on the door, the medical staff will open it for her, but she would always pull her hand back as if she was electrocuted.
While she was pacing back and forth, a small unmanned transporter came, hovering on the side of the road.
"Su Cher, your package" an electronic voice came.
"From who?"
"From Gu Qing Shan"
"Ah!"
Su Cher screamed in shock, quickly stepped forward and snatched the package.
The package was tightly sealed, but Su Cher couldn't wait to find a pair of scissors.
A thin blade the color of wind appeared in her hand, following her movements, she quickly cut the seal on the package.
The package was opened, it was a box.
Su Cher couldn't wait to open the box, only to see a small booklet and a jade bottle inside.
The jade bottle was clear, white and flawless, even from Su Cher's point of view, it was a rare item.
Su Cher immediately fell in love with this jade bottle.
She couldn't help but smile, took the jade bottle and looked at it fondly.
After a while, she remembered that there was a small booklet.
Opening the booklet, she flipped through it. It was all written by Gu Qing Shan herself.
A card fell from the booklet.
Su Xue Er hurriedly picked up the card.
There were a few lines written on the card.
"Chang Ning county has been cleaned up 5 times, tomorrow I'll have someone go again to make sure there won't be any more Man Killer Fiends. This way, while you're cultivating at home, you can also go out for some fresh air"
"The situation in the Federation is getting better, but you definitely can't join the Game of Eternal, listen to me, otherwise I'll have a headache"
"Also, the pills in the jade bottle are one every 3 days, the booklet is a cultivation method, this is the most important thing, you have to practice it with all your heart"
"Cultivate well, quickly become stronger, the future of the world isn't so good, you need to have the ability to protect yourself"
"Do your best!"
Su Xue Er held the card, reading it over and over again no less than 10 times, feeling two streams of warmth flowing down her cheeks.
She sniffled, wiped her tears and put the card on her chest.
She carefully put everything away.
Her lips split into a radiant smile.
She finally gathered her courage, walked to the door of the building and knocked.
She quickly walked in.
The hospital room.
This was a room filled with advanced equipment.
A few doctors and nurses were standing on the side, while Su Cher walked next to the bed and sat down.
Su Xing Chao was lying on the bed, barely breathing.
His eyes were slightly opened, staring at the ceiling without blinking, as if he was reluctant to leave this world, or as if he had some unfulfilled wish that he couldn't close his eyes.
He breathed out deeply, paused for a while, then breathed in again.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you"
Su Cher held the old man's hand, lightly squeezing it.
The old man also squeezed her hand.
"I … have to leave, I heard … the call of the Grim Reaper …"
The old man stuttered.
"But, there's one thing … I can't let go of …"
He stared at his granddaughter, his eyes full of questions.
Su Cher stayed silent for a while, until the old man was about to close his eyes in disappointment, she finally made up her mind.
She bit her lip and said: "I've made my decision"
As soon as she said that, Su Cher's entire body relaxed.
