“Huh?” Xu Que opened his eyes wide and glanced at the old man in the white robe. Then he ignored him. He looked directly at Qin Susu and asked, “Is this your father?”
“Bah, what’s wrong with your eyes? Is your elder sister that old? This is my great-great-great grandfather!” Qin Susu was immediately annoyed.
“Great-great-great grandfather?” Xu Que looked at the old man in the white robe and was somewhat astonished. The old man’s Cultivation Stage was unpredictable and his aura was powerful. At first glance, he seemed to be in the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, but, in fact, he was far higher than the Earth Celestial Stage. It was difficult to determine his actual strength.
Such a powerful figure and he was the great-great-great grandfather of Qin Susu. Clearly, Qin Susu’s family background wasn’t simple!
“This old man here is Qin Sanli, I wonder if my little friend has ever heard about me?” Just then, the white-robed old man laughed and asked kindly.
“Grab three balls? Wow, you’re awesome. You can catch three at a time. It’s not easy. It’s extraordinary!” Xu Que was shocked.
“My little friend is very kind!” Qin Sanli didn’t understand Xu Que’s underlying meaning at all. He could only take it as praise.
“Elder Qin is kind and approachable, this is rare! I’m the Exploding Heavens Faction’s Bai Zhantang. There are no elders in my house, but I have a sister and…uh, wait a minute, I’ll count first,…one, two, three, four, five, well, I have eight fiancees!” Xu Que gave a truthful account.
On one hand, he thought the elderly man was really nice and amiable and not as arrogant like other strong aces. On the other hand, he also wanted to try to find out whether he could inquire from Qin Susu and the elderly man about the location of Jade Lake or information about Jiang Hongyan and the others!
“Eight wives? Younger brother, I didn’t know that you were that popular!” Qin Susu was shocked and then laughed.
“Uh, Su Su, you shouldn’t say that. I had at least ten companions when I was young too. It’s not about popularity, and this young chap Bai said that he hasn’t married anyone of them. You still have a chance…let go, let go, let go, I’ll stop, you quickly let go of my beard!” Qin Sanli was pouring out words, but before he could finish, Qin Susu grabbed his long beard and stamped on her foot anxiously.
“Humph, this time I’ll pull out a few strands of your beard. If you dare to talk nonsense, I’ll pull it all out!” Qin Susu was annoyed, but she let go of his beard.
“Ouch, my poor old beard!” Qin Sanli covered his chin and rubbed it several times before he looked at Xu Que. He was embarrassed and said, “The old man’s granddaughter is really bossy. Sorry to let you see such a scene. In fact, she isn’t usually like that.”
Isn’t usually like that?
Xu Que was amused. I suppose this girl’s usual behavior could be worse than just now?
But he didn’t continue this conversation. He smiled and asked, “Elder, are there any other reasons for asking me over?”
“Ha, ha, I saw your extraordinary strength and how you made a name for yourself in just one fight. I wanted to invite you over to have tea. I wonder if you would give me a chance?” Qin Sanli laughed and looked at Xu Que.
“Drink tea…all right! Let’s go!” Xu Que hesitated a little, but nodded his head and agreed.
Originally, he wanted to take a tour of the City Governor’s Mansion to reap more benefits, but it was rare to encounter such a talkative ace. He must do him a favor, have a cup of tea with him, and then inquire about some information.
When Qin Sanli heard Xu Que’s answer, he was immediately on cloud nine. He led Xu Que to a teahouse nearby.
“Susu, I just remembered that before your great-great grandpa seemed to be looking for you. Why don’t you go back first!” When he arrived at the entrance of the teahouse, Qin Sanli found a poor excuse to dismiss Qin Susu. Qin Susu naturally guessed what Qin Sanli was up to, but she didn’t care enough to expose him. Instead, she stared at Xu Que and engaged in soundless communication as she said, “Younger brother, no matter what the old man says, do not promise him, otherwise…ha, ha, I’ll kill you!”
“Oh my, d*mn it!” Xu Que was unhappy to hear that.
Are you kidding me, who do you think you are? How are you capable of killing me? What kind of game do you want to play, tell me about it?
“I’m leaving!” Finally, Qin Susu gave Xu Que a warning glare, bid farewell, and left.
Qin Sanli smiled at Xu Que and said, “Young chap, my granddaughter is like this. Don’t mind her. She must have said something to you just now. Just ignore her. Let’s talk about our business! Let’s go!”
After that, Qin Sanli warmly welcomed Xu Que into the teahouse.
They sat in a small room. After the shopkeeper had finished serving their tea and left the room, Qin Sanli was impatient as he asked, “What do you think of our Susu?”
“Uh…Elder, that’s a bit too straightforward. I’d better give you a tactful reply—she’s not too good!” Xu Que rolled his eyes and replied. He then picked up a cup and drank his tea.
Qin Sanli was dumbfounded and couldn’t continue the conversation. Obviously, he wasn’t expecting Xu Que to give such an answer.
A tactful reply yet she’s still not good enough?
If it isn’t a tactful reply, wouldn’t it be worse?
“Young chap, you shouldn’t be so superficial. In fact, my granddaughter is very good-natured,” Qin Sanli explained quickly.
“Don’t look at the surface? Then it’s even worse!” Xu Que shook his head and said, “Elder, you’d better not go round and round. Speak frankly, do you want me to marry your granddaughter?”
“Uh…” Qin Sanli was caught off-guard once again. He didn’t expect Xu Que to be so direct, but that was really his intention.
After a period of silence, Qin Sanli simply nodded, “Since you want to get to the point, then I shall speak my mind. Over the years, I’ve seen countless aces but have never seen such a talented and outstanding young man like you. And for Susu, a person with high expectations of those around her, yet she can be so close to you. It certainly implies that you have a good personality and are excellent in other aspects too. I think you’re a good candidate.”
A good personality and excellent in other aspects?
Xu Que nodded his head approvingly when he heard that. “Elder, I have to say this, you have an accurate judgment of people. But I’m afraid I can’t accept your suggestion!”
“Oh? What’s troubling you? You can tell me. I have some power in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, maybe I can help you solve it!” Qin Sanli asked immediately.
“Uh, it can’t be solved!” Xu Que sighed and shook his head. “I’m separated from my eight fiancees and a cute puppy too. Before I find them, I really don’t have the time to think about anything else.”
Speaking of that, Xu Que’s eyes flashed with a tinge of sadness and longing. The sadness was fake, but his longing was real!
When Qin Sanli saw Xu Que’s expression, he immediately got serious and said earnestly, “Don’t be anxious. Where were you separated from them? I have friends all over the world. Maybe they can help!”
“Uh, I don’t know!” Xu Que sighed again and said, “I only know that my wives may have gone to a place called Jade Lake. Unfortunately, I already know that none of the sects in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm are called Jade Lake. So I have to find them in the other four Celestial Realms and maybe even the Heaven Continent!”
“Jade Lake?” Qin Sanli was stunned and he frowned. “Young chap, are you sure that your wives went to the Jade Lake?”
“Elder, do you know Jade Lake?” Xu Que was startled and then filled with surprise.
He didn’t have much hope, but from the tone of Qin Sanli, he definitely knew Jade Lake!
“Yes, the Holy Ground, Jade Lake, one of the Great Ten Ancient Gates, how could I not know? But…” While Qin Sanli explained, he smiled bitterly and looked at Xu Que. “Young chap, this Jade Lake is located in the Heaven Continent. If you want to find them, I’m afraid it’s impossible!”
