When Xiao Chen saw everyone looking at him, he directly stated his decision, "Uncle Su and everyone present, I have decided to depart for the Fire Spirit City this afternoon to look for the Alchemy Sage, Senior Ouyang. I am here to bid farewell to all of you."
"This afternoon? So soon?! "Su Diguo might have been mentally prepared, but he was still shocked by Xiao Chen's decisiveness.
"Xiao Chen, I will go with you!" Zhu Qingmei and Liu Ruyue spoke in unison. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and noticed a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.
When Zhu Geming and Xu Da heard that Xiao Chen was going on a long journey, they were instantly excited. They had long wanted to explore the outside world, but their clan didn't allow it. Now that they had escaped and heard that their idol was going on a long journey, they immediately begged, "Boss Xiao, please agree to let us go with you!"
"This …" When Xiao Chen saw everyone's intense reaction to his decision, he didn't know who to answer. After a moment, he sorted out the topic and spoke in a serious tone, "Other than Da Huang, I will not bring anyone else.
I will ask Da Huang to order the six Beast Kings to take turns to protect the Su Clan. The outside world is an unknown world, and it is filled with dangers. It will be very dangerous for all of you to go because Da Huang can only save me if you encounter a life and death situation. Furthermore, time is of the essence, and Qingyi's illness cannot be delayed. If more people go, the speed will be much slower. Therefore, none of you can go with me. "
Hearing Xiao Chen's serious words, everyone went silent. They were pondering over the meaning behind Xiao Chen's words and actually couldn't refute Xiao Chen's words.
Indeed, if Xiao Chen were to go with Da Huang, Xiao Chen could ride on the transformed Lion King. That speed would be unbelievably fast, and a three-day journey could be shortened to a day or even shorter. Even if Xiao Chen encountered danger, with the Lion King's terrifying speed, escaping should not be a problem.
Su Diguo wasn't strong enough and naturally couldn't search for the Alchemy Sage. Thus, he instructed Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, Uncle Su cannot help you with anything. You can only rely on yourself to search for the Alchemy Sage. I will stay at home and take good care of Qingyi while waiting for your safe return."
"Don't worry, Uncle Su. Qing Yi is my lover. I will do my best." Now, Xiao Chen dared to admit his love for Su Qingyi. He was no longer the inexperienced boy who would react the moment he touched a woman's hand.
Zhu Qingmei originally wanted to accompany Xiao Chen, but after hearing Xiao Chen's serious words, she felt that if she went with Xiao Chen, she would only be a burden to Xiao Chen. Thus, she affectionately said to Xiao Chen:
"Xiao Chen, Qingmei will listen to you. Qingmei intends to stay at Uncle Su's place to take care of Qingyi. I will wait for your return with Qingyi. When you are outside, you must take good care of yourself. Be careful of your enemies, especially the experts from the Black Magic Pavilion. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Qingmei, I am not a child. I will take good care of myself. Qingyi, I will have to trouble you to take care of her. Don't worry, with Da Huang accompanying me, as long as I don't meet an expert of the Earth Dragon Realm or above, no one can hurt me. You two sisters can stay at home and wait for my return. When I come back, I will take you to my grandfather. When I find my grandfather, I will take you two as my wives.
I will keep my promise! "Xiao Chen felt the deep love of the first beautiful woman he had ever had for him. He was very touched and gradually fell in love with Zhu Qingmei. He wasn't a playboy, it was fate. If he hadn't met Zhu Qingmei who was poisoned by the flower, the following series of events wouldn't have happened.
Xiao Chen, Su Qingyi, and Zhu Qingmei had gone through a life and death crisis and developed deep feelings for each other. Sparks of love were ignited, so it wasn't surprising that they became lovers.
"Really? Are you willing to marry me and Little Sister Qingyi at the same time? "
When Zhu Qingmei heard Xiao Chen saying in front of everyone that he would marry her in the future, she was instantly overjoyed. She had a blissful expression as she looked at the serious Xiao Chen with affectionate eyes. When she noticed the affection in Xiao Chen's eyes, she believed him and couldn't help but cheer happily, "That's great! Xiao Chen, I love you … Ah? Xiao Chen, I actually said that I love you in front of so many people. How embarrassing! "
"Hahaha!"
When Su Diguo, Su Ruohu, and the other men saw how interesting the conversation between Xiao Chen and Zhu Qingmei was, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. They sincerely wished for Xiao Chen and Zhu Qingmei and wished for Su Qingyi's recovery. Only then would they be able to see the scene of Xiao Chen marrying these two beauties.
When everyone was laughing, Ruyue couldn't bring herself to laugh. Instead, she felt bitter in her heart because she understood that Xiao Chen didn't fall in love with her and only treated her as a good friend.
Bitterness might be bitterness, but Ruyue still forced a smile and spoke to Xiao Chen with concern, "Xiao Chen, be careful on your journey. I wish you and Da Huang a smooth journey. Ruyue will pray for you every day. Hehe."
"Ruyue, thank you. You are my best friend."
Xiao Chen's feelings for Liu Ruyue weren't complicated. He admitted that he didn't hate Liu Ruyue. On the contrary, he liked Liu Ruyue a little. However, he was currently under a lot of pressure. He didn't have the energy or time to accept a third woman because he was afraid of letting Liu Ruyue down. Rather than letting Liu Ruyue wait in vain, he might as well let Liu Ruyue find a more suitable man for her.
Xiao Chen's acceptance of Su Qingyi and Zhu Qingmei was due to fate, and he couldn't avoid it. If it was in the past, he wouldn't be so easily moved because he had too many things to do. Finding his grandfather was the top priority.
Now, because of Su Qingyi, he had to postpone it. Xiao Chen was also very helpless about it. On one side was family, and on the other side was love. No matter which side Xiao Chen was on, he couldn't give up.
As for his grandfather, Xiao Chen didn't know what was going on. He was very worried. However, Su Qingyi had already been in trouble. Xiao Chen had to deal with Su Qingyi first before he could go to find his grandfather.
"Just a best friend?" Liu Ruyue murmured in her heart. The flower-like smile on her face gradually disappeared and was replaced by misery.
"Humph!"
Grandma Liu loved Liu Ruyue the most. Seeing that Liu Ruyue was wronged, she couldn't help but let out a cold snort and angrily said, "Miss, someone doesn't care about you. It's his bad luck. Our Liu Family doesn't care about him. Let's go, let's leave here immediately!"
"Ah?" Liu Ruyue didn't expect that Grandma Liu would say something like this. She immediately felt very embarrassed. While she was grateful to Grandma Liu, she had to say, "Grandma Liu, don't say that. He doesn't care about Ruyue. It's because Ruyue isn't good enough …"
"Eh …" Xiao Chen naturally understood that Grandma Liu was blaming him. Looking at Liu Ruyue's miserable face, he felt very embarrassed. His heart softened and he said, "Ruyue, it's Xiao Chen who doesn't deserve you. Thank you for everything you've done for me. If we really are fated to be together, can you give each other some time? My head is very messy right now. "
Liu Ruyue heard the meaning in Xiao Chen's words. It seemed that the possibility of developing their relationship had not been completely cut off. She was immediately overjoyed. "Really? Xiao Chen, are you really willing to give each other a chance? "
"Yes." Xiao Chen couldn't bear to hurt a woman who was wholeheartedly good to him. Thus, he decided to give both of them a chance. In fact, Liu Ruyue's shadow had already appeared in the depths of his heart. He just didn't know it.
