Chapter 386: Chapter 284: Journey to Mid Yuan Peak, Meeting My Future Father-in-law

"Miss Qingchan, who is he?"

A voice filled with shock woke up the couple embracing and kissing. Su Yu, holding Qingchan, looked back to see a handsome man not far away, his face full of shock and pain, staring at Su Yu as if he were an enemy that killed his father.

With a single glance, Su Yu understood and said:

"My name is Su Yu, and I’m Qingchan’s boyfriend."

"Impossible, Miss Qingchan has never met any other man alone. You must be someone she hired to act as a boyfriend, right?"

Su Yu gently pressed Qingchan’s back and kissed her cheek:

"Do you believe it now?"

"Now you can go tell the other suitors that she’s already taken, and they shouldn’t come bothering us anymore, or I won’t be polite."

With that, he hugged Qingchan and left the teleportation platform, flying into the city.

"No!"

A painful and shrill shout came from behind them, gradually fading as they left.

Luo Qingwei followed behind them like a follower, her bright eyes full of curiosity.

Su Yu held Luo Qingchan’s hand, their fingers interlocked, the wind blowing the ribbons as if they were a pair of wall people, leisurely strolling in the city, Su Yu softly recounting his experiences over the years, she leaned beside him, listening patiently.

They hardly mentioned the incident earlier; he didn’t ask, and Qingchan didn’t seem to explain.

Their tacit understanding was just like before; for something like this, a glance was enough, no need for explanation.

"I always knew you could establish a super-grade Immortal Foundation!"

Qingchan smiled brightly and said crisply:

"My Zhongyuan Luo clan is strong enough; I don’t need a marriage alliance. I can decide my own marriage, but if you’re not strong enough, it’s hard for my family to approve."

Su Yu laughed and said:

"How about now?"

"Absolutely, even my father can’t say anything."

"So when should we go see your father-in-law?"

Qingchan raised her willow brows and asked in return:

"Are you ready to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"I’m ready to go anytime."

They looked at each other, and eventually, she conceded, saying crisply:

"Let’s stroll first, let my dad prepare himself mentally."

"Alright, I should also prepare some gifts for visiting."

"By the way, I just browsed the local trading channel and saw the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has many Tier Ten Treasures and top-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for sale. Do you want to buy one for your dad?"

Qingchan shook her head as she heard:

"It’s too expensive to buy like this. The normal market price for a Tier Ten Treasure is 5 million gold; rare ones are only 7 to 8 million gold, but the pavilion is selling for 9.98 million gold, adding two to three million more."

"Hmm, okay."

"If you want suitable ones, you need to join these super guilds and become a senior member to buy at the normal prices. If you’re looking for better ones, then wait for the auction. I remember the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will hold an auction in the Eastern Polar Main City next month; if you have enough funds, you can check it out."

Su Yu waved his hand after hearing:

"I’ve seen it, but the auction invitation from the pavilion requires 100,000 gold, and it’s non-refundable, which is too exaggerated."

Qingchan immediately explained:

"That’s for non-customers of the pavilion; if you’re a senior member, you can participate directly."

"I seem to be just a regular member, not even an intermediate member. Can’t upgrade for a while?"

"At that time, I’ll take you; I’m a senior member."

"Alright, but before that, need to buy some gifts for visiting."

"That’s simple. Do you have any rare Spiritual Medicine or Spirit Fruit at hand?"

"Hmm..."

Su Yu recalled the numerous treasures within the Sea-Suppressing Pearl and soon remembered something. With a turn of his hand, a vividly red Spirit Fruit with purple patterns appeared, and he asked: 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"How about this?"

Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruit Tree: Spirit Root, Immortal Realm Spirit Fruit, blooms once every hundred years, fruits once every hundred years, ripens every hundred years, can produce 36 Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruits.

Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruit: Innate Bone and Root +3, Innate Comprehension +3, Innate Six Sense +3, Lifespan limit +300.

It matures every three hundred years, with one batch maturing last year and the second batch still growing, expected to mature in the coming years.

Unfortunately, this can’t be like the Millennial Vermilion Fruit Tree, where branches can be split and regrown. It needs to evolve from the Millennial Vermilion Fruit Tree, either using the Power of Origin from the Sea Suppressing Realm, or living enough for ten thousand years in the Sea Suppressing Realm for a chance to evolve, otherwise he would’ve let the Vast Sea produce a few.

It’s worth mentioning that the Sea Suppressing Realm has refined another Power of Heavenly Dao Origin.

For now, it’s stored and hasn’t decided where to use it.

Upon seeing the Immortal Spirit Fruit, Qingchan nodded immediately:

"This is fine, a single Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruit, then prepare some other Spirit Fruits."

"Isn’t one too few? How about three?"

"One is enough; it’s the first visit, not the engagement."

"Uh, alright!"

"But you definitely need to consider engagement arrangements; you can’t possibly come yourself. If you invite elders from Blue Mountain Island, it would take too long back and forth."

Su Yu laughed and said:

"My parents are on the Mainland of Divine Land."

Qingchan, who was pondering, paused, then her face turned slightly red.

"After meeting your uncle, come with me back home."

"Okay!"

Hand in hand, they chatted as they strolled leisurely through the vast main city, occasionally browsing shops.

Without realizing it, almost two hours passed when Luo Qingchan suddenly stopped and turned to say:

"My dad wants us to go over."

"Alright!"

The two ascended into the air and left the city, flying towards Mid Yuan Peak.

Mid Yuan Peak is over two million kilometers away from Zhongyuan Immortal City. As the domain of the top Immortal family, the Luo clan, it serves as the center, with all mountains, rivers, and peaks within a million-kilometer radius being their private property.

Being the main peak of Zhongyuan Mountain, one of the three major mountain ranges on the Mainland of Divine Land, where the earth veins and fortune gather, a natural Grotto Heaven exists within Mid Yuan Peak.

This Grotto Heaven is abundant in Spiritual Qi, where many ordinary members of the Luo clan reside. They’ve propagated for over hundreds of thousands of years through countless generations, with ordinary clan members now numbering in the billions.

Such a vast population yields hundreds of thousands, even up to a million awakening newcomers each year, ensuring many geniuses are born.

The Luo clan consists of five major branches with hundreds of sub-branches. Only ordinary members who successfully overcome the first heavenly tribulation to become Loose Immortals can formally be recorded in the clan genealogy and officially become members of the Luo clan.

As the three traveled, they passed by towering peaks, most of them populated with structures indicating ownership, inhabited by the various branches of the Luo family.

As the direct line of the eldest house of the Luo clan’s five major branches, Qingchan resides on the central Mid Yuan Peak.

Thus, their destination was Mid Yuan Peak.

As they traveled, the closer they got to Mid Yuan Peak, the more people there were. It wasn’t long before they occasionally encountered members of the Luo clan, many of whom recognized Qingchan, the Luo clan’s famous daughter of exceptional talent. Upon seeing the hand of this extraordinary daughter held by an unfamiliar man, they all showed expressions of shock.

Before long, on the way to Mid Yuan Peak, Luo clan members began to gather around, with the crowd growing as they progressed.

As they neared Mid Yuan Peak, they suddenly saw a large group of people blocking the way.

Qingchan whispered in his ear:

"These are my brothers and sisters of this branch."

Su Yu glanced at the crowd, feeling there were several hundred people, exclaiming:

"So many?"

"That’s not even a tenth."

"Truly a great clan..."

The two stopped in front of the crowd, all eyes darting between him and a handsome middle-aged man within the group. Su Yu saw that the middle-aged man’s cultivation was extremely high, he was already an Earth Immortal, level 260, and bore some resemblance to Qingchan. His expression was scrutinizing as he looked at him, prompting Su Yu to quickly transmit a message to Qingchan:

"Could this be your dad?"

"This is my eldest brother, named Luo Qinan!"

"Eldest brother?"

"Much older than you?"

Cultivators generally don’t show age. Earth Immortals appear middle-aged, typically hundreds to over a thousand years old.

"Eldest brother was born before my father turned a hundred, now he’s over a thousand."

"So he’s a thousand years older than you?"

"Exactly."

Qingchan stepped forward, crisply calling:

"Eldest brother!"

Luo Qinan nodded gently, just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Yu’s voice:

"Eldest brother!"

His mouth twitched, finding this kid increasingly displeasing.

However, his face showed no change, gently speaking to her:

"Father and mother, along with other familial brothers, are already here."

Pausing, he transmitted:

"Are you certain about this?"

Qingchan firmly grasped Su Yu’s hand, replied with a resolute expression:

"I’ve decided!"

Luo Qinan sighed deeply, nodded, and turned around to fly to the nearby Mid Yuan Peak, never casting a glance at Su Yu the entire journey.

At this moment, Qingchan’s voice transmitted to him:

"I was raised by my eldest brother. It’s normal for him to be displeased with you."

"Indeed."

Like both elder brother and father, his feelings at such a moment are akin to any father, surely finding him unsatisfactory.

Following the eldest brother, they flew into Mid Yuan Peak, stopping at its mid-section, entering a massive palace complex extending over a hundred kilometers along the mountainside.

As a top Immortal family, the Luo family has developed this area for ten thousand years, with family standards rivaling top Immortal Sects.

Mountainside, grand hall.

Hand-in-hand with Qingchan, Su Yu stepped into the grand hall, instantly feeling hundreds of gazes falling upon him, several filled with pressure. He looked up to find a middle-aged man resembling the older brother glaring deathly at their clasped hands.

Qingchan’s voice transmitted to his ear, informing Su Yu that this man was her father, Luo Qingcang.

Beside him sat a gracefully poised middle-aged woman, her mother Xia Jinrou, warmly scrutinizing them both.

Su Yu released his hand, adjusted his robe, clasped his fists in salute, his voice deep and powerful:

"Su Yu, current Dao Son of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect on Blue Mountain Island, pays respects to Uncle and Aunt!"

"Dao Son?"

The room began to buzz with whispers, many eyes around them showed a noticeable shift.

Luo Qingcang’s expression remained unchanged, though the fury in his heart slightly waned, he asked deeply:

"I ask you, what is your relationship with my daughter?"

Su Yu’s gaze was clear, and he spoke frankly:

"I met Qingchan on Blue Mountain Island, we developed mutual affection, and had agreed to wait until after passing the heavenly tribulation and establishing our Dao foundation to propose to Uncle, to ask for her hand in marriage."

As he finished speaking, many people began to show eyes of admiration.

"Hmph!"

Luo Qingcang snorted coldly, gritting his teeth as he asked:

"Quite bold. Now tell me, on what grounds do you believe you can marry my daughter, the direct daughter of the Luo clan?"
