Su Shengwen's eyes showed longing, and said: "I also really want to know what this secret is. Fortunately, I will become the palace master soon."
Su Xueer murmured thoughtfully: "No wonder there are so many absurd nobles in history, as long as they are direct descendants, they can eventually control the power of a family."
"We hold this ball just to let you get together with a direct descendant of Jiufu, but unfortunately your heart is elsewhere."
"Now, I have made things clear to you."
"This is the fate of the nobles of the Nine Houses, and no one can violate it."
"What if someone violates it?" Su Xueer asked unwillingly.
"The head of the family has the right to enforce it, and the other eight governments will also work together to force it."
"In order to keep the secrets, the direct descendants of Jiufu must marry even if they die, and cannot marry outsiders."
Su Xueer was stunned for a long time, but did not recover.
Su Shengwen sighed, and said: "Give the mecha to the family, and after the family's research is thorough, you can bring it to marry another wealthy family, and only then can you obtain unprecedented huge gains—your life's glory and wealth are enough. "
Su Xueer bit her lip and said, "But I like Gu Qingshan."
Su Wensheng showed a clear look, and said in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Love is only temporary. After a long time, you will understand that a man is nothing compared to power and wealth."
"Listen to your father, hand over the mecha, and marry into a wealthy family. If you don't like your future husband, that's even better."
"Better?" Su Xueer didn't understand.
"Yes, you are a professional at the peak of the fourth stage of the Five Elements, and you also have the Seraph Armor. After you marry, you will definitely have a certain right to speak. In the future, you will slowly hold the power of that family in your hands, and you will be able to echo me from afar. "
With excitement on his face, Su Shengwen said: "I am about to become the head of the Su family, and you, who hold power in another family, cooperate with me to do some things, and the future of our Su family will be extremely brilliant."
Su Xueer was stunned for a while, then suddenly asked, "How is Grandpa doing now?"
Su Wensheng had a meal, his beautiful imagination was interrupted, and he was a little impatient.
"Still under supervision, but the doctor said that his days are coming soon."
"I'll go see him."
"...It's okay, remember what my father said, my father is for your own good." Su Wensheng said earnestly.
Su Xueer looked deeply at her father's face, and said word by word: "I will remember it in my heart."
"Well, the second room actually dared to reach out to you, damn it, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." Su Wensheng thought of this, his face was full of anger.
Su Xueer walked out of the study and looked up at the sky.
The sky was low and the black clouds were hanging low, ready for a downpour.
She suddenly laughed uncontrollably.
"You force me to marry anyone just because of a secret?" she murmured.
For some reason, the picture of Anna holding Gu Qingshan's hand at the banquet came to mind again.
Su Xueer tightly pursed her lips, her dark and cold eyes were like a bottomless pool, making it impossible to see her emotions and thoughts.
She reached out and touched her head.
After a few minutes.
She is standing outside a building.
This has been the power center of the entire Su family for decades, and it is also the residence of Su Xingchao, the head of the Su family.
Su Xueer looked at the building, hesitated for a long time, and didn't go up to knock on the door.
The Su family is holding a grand banquet tonight, so almost no one comes here, only the medical staff come out occasionally.
Su Xueer walked back and forth on the road, and occasionally walked quickly to the door of the building, stopped for a while, but retreated dejectedly.
Several times, she had clearly raised her hand at the door, and she only needed to knock lightly, and medical staff would open the door for her immediately, but she withdrew her hand again as if she had been electrocuted.
Just as she was wandering, a miniature unmanned transport vehicle flew over and hovered by the side of the road.
"Su Xueer, your package." The electronic synthesizer sounded.
"From whom?"
"From Gu Qingshan."
"ah!"
Su Xueer exclaimed, stepped forward quickly, and snatched the package off.
The package was tightly sealed, but Su Xueer couldn't wait to find the scissors.
A thin blue blade appeared in her hand, and as she moved, it quickly cut the seal of the package.
The package opened and it was a box.
Su Xueer couldn't wait to open the box, only to see a booklet and a jade bottle inside.
The jade bottle ice is pure and bright, white and flawless, even if you look at it with Su Xueer's eyes, it is a rare thing in the world.
Su Xueer immediately fell in love with this jade bottle.
She smiled unconsciously, picked up the jade bottle, and played with it fondly.
After a while, she remembered that there was still a pamphlet.
Open the booklet, flip through it, it is all written by Gu Qingshan himself.
A card fell from the booklet.
Su Xueer frantically picked up the card.
A few lines were written on the card.
"Changning County has cleaned it up and down five times. I'll have someone go there again tomorrow to make sure no more murderers will show up. In this way, you can go out to get some fresh air while cultivating at home."
"The situation in the Federation is gradually improving, but you must not participate in the eternal life game, be obedient, or I will have a headache."
"Also, the elixir in the jade bottle is one pill every three days, and the booklet is a kind of practice method. This is the most important, and you have to practice it with your heart."
"Cultivate well and become stronger quickly. The future of the world is not very good. You have to have the power to protect yourself."
"come on!"
Su Xueer pinched the card, read it back and forth no less than ten times, and felt two lines of warm current flowing down her cheeks.
She sniffed, wiped away her tears, and stuck the card to her heart.
She put everything away carefully.
She grinned broadly.
She finally mustered up the courage, came to the door of the building, and knocked hard on the door.
She strode in.
ward.
This is a room full of advanced instruments.
Several doctors and nurses stood aside, while Su Xueer came to the bed and sat down.
Su Xingchao was lying on the bed, dying.
His eyes opened slightly, and he looked at the ceiling without blinking, as if he was nostalgic for this world, more like he had some unfulfilled wish, and he was reluctant to close it.
He let out a long breath, paused for a long time, and finally took a deep breath.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you."
Su Xueer took the old man's hand and gently squeezed it.
The old man also gently squeezed her hand.
"I... let's go, I heard... the call of death..."
The old man spoke intermittently.
"But, there's one thing I can't let go of..."
He stared at his granddaughter, his eyes full of questions.
Su Xueer was silent for a long time, until the old man closed his eyes in disappointment, and finally made up his mind.
She bit her lip and said, "I've made a decision."
As soon as these words were uttered, Su Xueer suddenly relaxed.
— There is no turning back now.
