Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing this, Zhao churans expression turned unhappy. Didnt I say that Im not getting married?

It turned out that Imperial physician Lius eldest son had taken a fancy to Zhao churan and had conveyed his feelings to her through Zhao Zishan.

However, Zhao churan rejected him.

That was because Imperial physician Lius eldest son was already over 50 years old and could already be her father!

Furthermore, she was only a concubine in the past!

And it was the eighteenth concubine!

How could Zhao churan be willing to do so?

Zhao Zishan put down his chopsticks and lectured, Imperial physician Lius eldest son is already a rank six official. If you follow him, you will be able to live a peaceful life. Dont you understand this simple logic?

Zhao churan retorted, yes, yes, yes. You are the most reasonable person. So, in order to please Imperial physician Liu, you pushed your younger sister into the fire pit. Is that right?

How could Zhao Zishan not know what kind of person Imperial physician Liu was?

However, in order to please Imperial physician Liu, she had repeatedly forced Zhao churan to marry him and become his concubine.

Impudent! How can you speak to your eldest brother like that? Zhao Zishan slammed the table and said in a threatening tone, The most important thing for a girl is her upbringing. If you dont even know how to respect your elder brother, how are you going to get married?

You have to be worthy of my respect first! Zhao churan snorted.

He had sacrificed his sister for her, yet he still wanted her to respect him?

Churan, youve gone too far! Zhao Tian, who had not spoken since the beginning, said solemnly, Zishan is your eldest brother, you cant be so rude.

Zhao churans eyes reddened. but he forced me to marry a rotten old man. Is that right? she asked.

its not up to me to comment on my elder brothers decision, Zhao Tian criticized seriously. even if its wrong, I shouldnt object to it, let alone talk back to him!

Upon hearing this, Zhao churan couldnt hold back the grievances in her heart. She covered her mouth and nose, cried, and ran away.

In fact, this was not the first time she had suffered such grievances.

They were both of the Zhao familys bloodline, but his father had always been biased towards Zhao Zishan, and had constantly instilled in him the teachings of the eldest brother being the eldest.

She had to accommodate her elder brother in everything.

She didnt have any status in the Zhao family, and living here was extremely oppressive.

His mother was the only one who understood him.

Hence, in order to prevent Zhao churan from being defiled by Imperial physician Lius eldest son, he tried his best to facilitate the marriage between Zhao churan and Xia Qilin.

In her heart, she thought that the northern Xia Manor was still her maiden family.

If Zhao churan were to marry over, it would be better than suffering in the imperial capital.

However, after many twists and turns, he still did not get what he wanted.

Zhao Zishan furrowed his brows as he watched Zhao churan leave. He unhappily said, Youre becoming more and more unruly! You even dare to talk back to me! You must be strictly disciplined in the future! After that, he continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Xia qingchen sighed in silence.

Although he felt injustice for Zhao churan in his heart, this was after all a matter of the Zhao clan.

As an outsider, he had no right to interrupt.

Uncle, aunt, you guys eat. Ill go and see my cousin. Xia qingchen also didnt have the mood to continue eating.

Uncle nodded his head lightly, while aunt said earnestly, Qingchen, console her properly.

Only my aunt cares about churan!

Xia qingchen sighed in his heart and went to catch up with Zhao churan. After he left.

Zhao tiancai finally furrowed his brows.How long does he plan to stay?

Xia Jie shook her head. he didnt say anything. My big brother only said that qingchen came to the imperial capital to handle some matters. He will probably leave after he is done.

Her heart sank, knowing that her husband didnt like Xia qingchen.

If not, she wouldnt have intentionally given Xia qingchen the cold shoulder during the meal earlier.

its not that I want to criticize you, but its already been so many years. What kind of relations.h.i.+p do you still have with those country b.u.mpkins from lone Cloud City? Zhao Tian frowned and lectured him. its all good now. You gave them some face, and they immediately climbed up the mountain to curry favor with us!

Zhao Tian threw the thumb ring on the table and said in disgust, You want to curry favor with our Zhao family with a piece of broken Jade? you must be dreaming!

So it turned out that Zhao Tian had thought that Xia qingchen had come here to curry favor with their Zhao Manor.

no! Xia Jie was angry. I cant say for sure, but big brother is definitely not that kind of person!

For so many years, Xia Yuan had led such a bitter life in lone Cloud City, but he had never begged her for anything.

Now that his fathers position was elevated because of his son, and his family was gradually thriving, why would he come over to curry favor with him?

If he wanted to curry favor, he had done so long ago.

He definitely wouldnt have waited until now.

What do you know? you cant tell what a persons heart is! We havent seen each other for more than ten years, how do you know that your big brother hasnt changed? Zhao Tian retorted.

Zhao Zishan nodded his head in agreement, his expression serious.

Mother, although the Zhao family is a famous official family, we are currently in the most important period of promotion. If we are dragged down, we will be greatly affected.

so, its fine for that Xia qingchen to stay in our Zhao residence for a while, Zhao Zishan said. but if he wants to curry favor with us, we can only ask him to leave.

The father and sons words made Xia Jie angry and speechless.

forget it. Ill say it myself. Its best to explain everything. Zhao Zishan put down his chopsticks and slowly went to look for Xia qingchen for a heart-to-heart talk.

In the central courtyard.

In the courtyard.

Zhao churan sat by the well and looked at the reflection of the full moon in the well, silently sobbing.

Da

Suddenly, a stone fell into the well, causing ripples.

The full moons reflection immediately shattered.

life is like the moon in the well. It cant resist the merciless crush of time. It will eventually break and become nothing. Xia qingchens voice rang out from behind.

Zhao churan lowered her head and asked, What do you mean?

It means that in a persons life, too many things are illusory! For example, power, status, wealth, they are all the side branches of life. Only martial arts is the true meaning of immortality.

Zhao churan seemed to have understood something. She raised her head and looked into Xia qingchens eyes.

As long as your martial arts are strong, power, status, and wealth will be at your fingertips! In fact, if ones martial arts can break through the void and become a G.o.d in the heavens, they will be immortal. its putting the cart before the horse if youre obsessed with the power, status, and wealth in front of you and neglect your martial arts.

Zhao churans eyes lit up.

Her current status was low, wasnt it precisely because her martial arts were inferior to others?

If she was a major constellation stage cultivator and was on the same level as her father, would her brother still dare to ask her to sacrifice herself so naturally?

Her father still dared to side with her brother?

Youve already broken through to the first fold of the middle constellation level, right? Xia qingchen asked.

Zhao churan nodded her chin. its just that Im too slow-witted to cultivate the martial skill that cousin gave me. I havent made any progress with it yet.

Ill give you some pointers on martial arts some other day. Xia qingchen took out a Jade-like leaf and stuffed it into her palm. Before that, take this leaf and try to break through to the second fold-level of the middle constellation stage.

Zhao churan opened her palm and exclaimed in shock, Could this be the legendary yunluo sacred leaf?

She had heard Zhao Zishan say it before.

Once, the head Imperial physician cured the Empresss illness. The Emperor was happy and rewarded the head Imperial physician with a yunluo sacred leaf.

The head Imperial physicians cultivation was already high, and the yunluo sacred leaf was useless.

Therefore, he made a pot of tea with this leaf and gave a cup to every Imperial physician in the Imperial Academy of Medicine.

As an a.s.sistant, Zhao Zishan did not have the chance to get a share. He was only fortunate enough to taste the residue in the pot. He had been talking about this for two years.
