Chapter 1099: Clarity of Mind
Although Su Chen didn't have any definite information about all of this, he vaguely sensed many things worth pondering!
For example, why did he possess that sheepskin scroll?
And why is the cultivation technique on it so extraordinary?
Also, why did the sheepskin scroll initially only have the cultivation method up to the Meridian Expansion Realm, with nothing beyond that?
Is it to prevent others from stealing it? Or for some other reason?
Furthermore, on that starry night, the sheepskin scroll underwent a mutation, and a line of words appeared on it—"With the Innate Bloodline, the inheritance is obtained!"
All of these seem to herald some issues!
Even the token that the Ximen Clan coveted for decades, why did it end up in the hands of the Holy Sect of the Martial Arts World?
Could this also be somehow related to him?
...
Su Chen never delved into these questions before, and even now, he still doesn't want to think about them, but these questions uncontrollably infiltrate his mind, making his head swell!
Unknowingly, he felt his head grow dizzy and then gradually fell asleep...
In his dreams, scenes of warmth from his childhood with his parents and grandpa flashed in his mind!
Perhaps his memories started from when he returned to Yandu!
After all, after returning to Yandu, there was a span of three to four years until his grandpa and parents had an accident!
Those have become cherished pictures deep in his memory!
On the next day, Su Chen slept till the afternoon, which was quite rare for him!
Even during the most dispirited days when he just returned to the city, he at most slept till noon!
This unusual behavior of Su Chen's worried the women around him greatly!
After all, he has always left an impression of being optimistic and carefree!
........
Days passed by, and during these days, Su Chen barely cultivated, looking rather preoccupied!
Seeing him like this made the women even more worried!
Every time they asked, Su Chen just smiled and said there was nothing to worry about, telling them not to worry!
How could they possibly not worry? But since Su Chen didn't say, they had no way of knowing!
Over these days, Su Chen indeed had been mentally and emotionally disorganized!
However, after a few days, his strong psychological adjustment ability came into play!
During this time, he gradually came to understand some things!
First and foremost in his mind, his parents will forever be his parents, whether biologically related or not!
They have given him love that even biological parents might not be able to give!
In his heart, they are his biological parents, just as they always have been!
This has nothing to do with bloodlines!
Naturally, their feud still needs to be avenged!
The matter with the Ximen Clan must eventually be resolved!
This requires no second thought and won't change at all!
As for finding out his true origin, that can be left to fate; he won't go out of his way to seek an answer!
Though he says this to himself, does he truly feel indifferent deep down?
Perhaps only he knows!
However, after sorting through these thoughts, Su Chen's mind also cleared up a lot, and his mood gradually lifted from the previous depression and gloom!
He realized that the most important thing is to live well in the present and cherish those around him!
As for everything else, take it a step at a time!
That evening, while having dinner with the women, Su Chen once again returned to his previous playful and carefree demeanor!
The women, seeing that familiar rascal return, finally felt relieved!
After dinner, they all lay on the lounge chairs by the hot spring, enjoying the night breeze and chatting casually, feeling utterly leisurely!
With beauty all around, a relieved Su Chen naturally enjoyed it immensely!
At this moment, while lying on the lounge chair, he suddenly recalled the mysterious woman he encountered the other night.
At that time, he felt so miserable, and naturally, he wasn't very polite!
But who exactly was that woman?
So young, yet possessing such profound cultivation?
Su Chen felt that her strength surpassed Ouyang Jing by far!
But why would such a woman suddenly seek him out?
Could it be that he's truly incredibly handsome?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but curve his lips into a cheeky smile.
The women, seeing this expression, immediately knew that this guy was probably daydreaming something shameless again!
But they all seemed quite accustomed to it!
After resting here for an hour or two, the women all returned to their rooms to rest.
Su Chen returned to his room, took a shower, and then stealthily slipped into Lin Ruoxue's room!
At this moment, Lin Ruoxue had just finished her shower and was casually flipping through a fashion magazine at the bedside!
Perhaps influenced by other women, Lin Ruoxue's workaholic nature seemed to have improved quite a bit!
Su Chen was certainly delighted by this!
"Why are you here?"
Lin Ruoxue said when she saw Su Chen sneak in silently.
"Of course, I missed my dear wife!"
Su Chen lifted the blanket and snuggled in immediately.
"Have you figured things out?"
Lin Ruoxue glanced at him and asked.
Indeed, Lin Ruoxue was the one among these women who understood him the best. She knew that Su Chen had been struggling with some issues a few days ago!
"Yeah, I've figured it out."
Su Chen said as he closed Lin Ruoxue's magazine and tossed it onto the nightstand.
"What are you doing? I haven't finished reading it yet!"
Lin Ruoxue reached out to grab the magazine; she was planning to finish the article she was reading!
"You can read it tomorrow."
Su Chen's large hand was already reaching under the covers, becoming mischievous, as he smiled mischievously:
"Darling, a night of passion is worth a thousand gold pieces!"
"What a shameless rogue!"
Lin Ruoxue's face flushed with a blush as she spat softly.
"This is the great path!"
Su Chen said, gently laying Lin Ruoxue down flat and lowering his head for a kiss...
Soon, Lin Ruoxue's nightgown disappeared without a trace...
....
The next morning, Lin Ruoxue woke up in the warmth of Su Chen's embrace.
She turned her head slightly, looking at Su Chen still sleeping, and revealed a gentle smile.
A few days ago, she was genuinely worried about him being so unusual!
Having lived with Su Chen for so long, it was the first time he'd behaved like that!
As she looked at Su Chen, she couldn't help but wonder secretly what had happened to him to make him change so abruptly like that!
Even having faced the Five Great Families before, he had never acted like that!
Fortunately, after a few days, he finally got over it, and she could finally set down her heart!
"What a fateful pair!"
Lin Ruoxue thought to herself, watching Su Chen sleep like a child...
