No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?-Chapter 238 - Do I Need To Be Protected?

Chapter 238: Do I Need To Be Protected?

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at Su Changyu quietly.

He did not understand what kind of closure Su Changyu was going to get.

Su Changyu looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty in bewilderment.

He looked a little perplexed.

‘Why do you have to poke your nose into my business and ask me what I’m going to the Great Xia Dynasty for?’

‘What do you want to do with me by making me stay?’

‘Do you really want me to marry a princess?’

Su Changyu had now already accepted that the other party was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, the problem was that Su Changyu didn’t want to marry a princess.

He wasn’t interested in women, much less becoming a princess’ husband.

After all, being the princess’ husband was too troublesome.

He thought that it would be better to hurry back, look for Taishang Xuanji to handle his own matters, and then return to his sect to live a carefree life.

Although it would be good to possess royal power, he was an ordinary cultivator and there was no need for him to get involved.

Since ancient times, kings had always been the most ruthless and that was a common saying that Su Changyu had heard scholars say countless times before.

Naturally, he would not get involved.

However, the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty did not know what Su Changyu was thinking. The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty merely looked at Su Changyu curiously and wondered what kind of closure Su Changyu wanted to get.

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty was even more curious.

They both looked at Su Changyu with a gaze full of curiosity.

Sensing their gazes, Su Changyu somehow felt awkward.

He didn’t know whether he should say it or not.

After all, it was his personal matter.

However, when looking at their gazes, he finally sighed before speaking slowly.

“To get some closure for something that’s related to my background and identity.”

Su Changyu said.

His answer immediately made the emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty energized.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked, “Regarding your identity? What do you mean?”

He was extremely agitated and he didn’t know exactly what Su Changyu meant, but he could vaguely guess something so he couldn’t help but ask about it.

“Changyu, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. Fate has allowed us to meet each other. Since you called me Aunt, just feel free to tell me. Don’t feel embarrassed.”

Chu Rouyun told Su Changyu not to feel embarrassed and to just speak what was on his mind.

They were extremely interested when they heard Su Changyu mention the matter of his background.

“Ah!”

“In this case, just tell us, Changyu.”

Su Changyu sighed, though he didn’t know why they were so interested in him.

However, after thinking about it, he felt that they didn’t have any malicious intent. Besides, it was perhaps very boring in the palace, so Su Changyu decided to explain it.

“It’s actually a long story.”

“I was originally an orphan and I was adopted by my master. I’ve gotten used to living a life of suffering.”

“My master said that I became an orphan because of a flood.”

“All along, I also thought I was an orphan and that my parents had probably died long ago.”

“However, some time ago, I encountered someone who was in danger when I was traveling. As a Sword Dao cultivator, I naturally drew my sword to help.”

“I used my sword techniques to save two people, one called Old Xuan and the other called Old Xia.”

Su Changyu slowly recounted the past, adding more details that he had made up as he went along.

The emperor and empress of the Great Qian Dynasty were somehow energized after hearing it.

‘Old Xuan? Old Xia?’

‘Isn’t that Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?’

‘He helped them when they were in need?’

‘Aren’t their cultivation levels very high?’

The two of them were extremely curious as they were pondering about something.

“Were they very weak?”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.

‘That’s impossible. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Old Xuan may not be supreme experts, but their cultivation levels are at the Essence Soul realm, especially the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. He has the luck of the Son of Heaven.”

‘How can they be in danger?’

‘Besides, even if he wasn’t competent enough, he’d be protected by peerless experts.’

Hence, they looked at Su Changyu curiously.

Su Changyu responded seriously in the face of the question.

“So weak.”

Su Changyu answered.

“Seriously?”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t help but speak up, feeling that it was a bit unreasonable.

When he said that, Su Changyu got a little furious.

‘What do you mean?’

‘Don’t you trust me, Sword Immortal Su Changyu?’

‘Am I such a person?’

‘I am a peerless Sword Immortal!’

‘Am I the type to lie?’

“If you don’t believe me, I won’t say anything.”

Su Changyu got a little angry.

‘If you don’t believe anything, what do you want me to say?’

Sensing that Su Changyu was a little angry, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was momentarily at a loss for words as he thought that he had said the wrong thing.

“Okay, just stop talking and let Changyu speak.”

Seeing that Su Changyu seemed a little uncomfortable, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty told the emperor to stop talking.

She said to Su Changyu, “Changyu, continue.”

Upon hearing this, Su Changyu immediately smiled awkwardly. The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could only smile sheepishly in front of Su Changyu and Chu Rouyun.

“Changyu, what happened after that?”

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.

“After that, I fended off all the bandits and saved them.”

“However, when the two of them saw that I had saved them, they decided to follow me and ask me for some advice.”

“I thought that since we were fated, I decided to protect them. Perhaps, that’s the reason that they gave me a few sets of clothes.”

“However, I gradually sensed that something was wrong.”

Su Changyu’s voice was very calm and he spoke very slowly.

The two of them were gradually immersed in listening to his recount, especially after hearing that, they looked at Su Changyu curiously, unsure of what he had sensed.

“What did you sense?”

The two of them couldn’t help but ask.

They chorused in unison, making Su Changyu even more curious as he didn’t know why they were so concerned about his affairs.

However, after thinking about it, Su Changyu could not help but say, “I gradually discovered that Old Xia seems to have some affection for me. He always looks at me with a strange gaze and even gave me some precious clothes.”

“I didn’t know it at first, but afterwards, my master said something to enlighten me. He said that Old Xia is very likely to be my biological father.”

Su Changyu said slowly.

Actually, it was Old Xuan but Su Changyu said it was Old Xia because he felt that he shouldn’t tell them the truth since they had just met.

Even if they were the emperor and the empress, so what? It would be better to leave a backup plan.

He couldn’t possibly stay silent after meeting them.

Su Changyu was not a fool.

He had deliberately kept his guard up, so he said that it was Old Xia instead of Old Xuan.

However, Su Changyu’s words made them even more agitated.

“The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty met Changyu a long time ago, but he didn’t breathe a word about it. If Xu Yang hadn’t brought Changyu here, I’m afraid we would still be in the dark until now. Old Xia is really inhumane.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was furious. He used his divine senses to send a voice transmission to communicate with the empress.

“I really don’t know why Changling would fall for such a person. If he’s not willing to tell others, that’s fine, but Changyu is your nephew. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has gone overboard by keeping it from you.”

Chu Rouyun had a good temper, but she couldn’t help but curse at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty resentfully at this moment.

“What do you feel after learning that he’s your biological father? Also, what do you mean get some closure? Are you going to acknowledge him?”

However, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty still asked the question she wanted to ask as she looked at Su Changyu.

At this moment, the emperor was very curious too.

He didn’t know what decision Su Changyu had come to.

“No.”

Su Changyu shook his head as he looked at the emperor and empress.

He then said slowly, “I am going to the Great Xia Dynasty because I want to sever ties with them, though it’s very likely that he’s my biological father.”

“But he didn’t treat my mother well and abandoned me. I don’t hate him, I just won’t acknowledge that he’s my biological father.”

“I guess my mother feels the same way.”

Su Changyu revealed his innermost thoughts.

He thought that Taishang Xuanji had abandoned his mother and him for the sake of glory and wealth, but they were biological father and son after all. He couldn’t possibly hate him.

However, in terms of morals and ethics, he really couldn’t forgive Taishang Xuanji for abandoning his mother.

As soon as he said that, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty almost agreed.

He was excited and happy, but he didn’t expect Su Changyu to go to the Great Xia Dynasty to sever ties with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

‘Very good, great.’

‘He should sever ties with him. Is the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty really that impressive?’

‘Is the weakest emperor of the five dynasties very impressive?’

‘What does the Great Xia Dynasty have that the Great Qian Dynasty doesn’t?’

Although the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t give the throne to Su Changyu, he could let him be a king.

Besides, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was indeed not a good person. The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty utterly detested him.

In his opinion, his sister was killed by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and no matter what, he could not forgive him.

However, he never thought that his nephew would be so sensible. To be honest, he was really worried that Su Changyu would be tempted by the benefits offered by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, he never expected his nephew to be so bright and intelligent.

At this moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was overjoyed.

He was truly elated.

In short, he was pleased with the fact that Su Changyu hated the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ahem!

Sensing that the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t conceal his smile, the empress couldn’t help but cough a little.

Although she was overjoyed too, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had gone overboard.

After all, there was no reason for him to be so glad that Su Changyu wanted to sever ties with his father.

Otherwise, Su Changyu would suspect that there was something wrong with them.

Indeed, Su Changyu’s gaze seemed peculiar when he was looking at them.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty immediately fell silent and his face was no longer as pale as before.

Su Changyu, who was at the side, was rather confused.

‘Why are you so glad that I’m about to sever ties with my father?’

‘Are you wishing for me to be an orphan?”‘

However, Su Changyu remained calm on the surface. After all, this was the Great Qian Dynasty Palace and not his sect. He had to pay attention to his words.

The emperor couldn’t help but speak again.

“Your mother sounds really pitiful.”

“Your father is really inhumane.”

The emperor clenched his fist as he truly meant those words.

However, Su Changyu was even more displeased after hearing his words.

‘What do you mean by that?’

‘What do you mean my father is inhumane?’

‘What about me then?’

‘You may be the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty but you shouldn’t say this.’

‘Do you really think I, the supreme Sword Immortal, is a pushover?’

Su Changyu criticized him in his head.

On the surface, he could only bear it.

It couldn’t be helped since he was on their turf. He had to keep a low profile.

“Your Majesty, you have gone overboard. Changyu’s mother is a pitiful person but Changyu’s father. Uh…”

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty wanted to say something to give them an out, but after thinking about it, she felt that he was really inhumane.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

“Changyu, since you are going to the Great Xia Dynasty for this, I’ll let you go. But after you sever ties with your father, what do you plan to do?”

“Do you want to come to the Great Qian Dynasty?”

“Since you are my nephew, how about I betroth a princess to you and make you a monarch too?”

The empress asked if Su Changyu wanted to join them.

“Yes, yes, I will give you a title as a prince or a monarch and let you marry a princess. Changyu, our princesses are all beautiful, you may choose to marry one, two, or three as you please.”

The emperor nodded in agreement to the empress’ words.

In his eyes, he would be willing to do anything as long as Su Changyu would agree to come to the Great Qian Dynasty.

After hearing these words, Su Changyu could not help but sneer in his head.

Indeed…

Indeed…

‘Indeed, they’ve taken a liking to my good looks. Why do I always encounter such things?’

Seeing that Su Changyu was remaining silent, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty could not help but continue to speak.

“How about this, Changyu, I’ll send a few people to escort you to the Great Xia Dynasty this time, lest you encounter any trouble. As for the rest, we’ll talk about it another time.”

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty suggested.

Su Changyu was relieved to hear her words.

‘That’s more like it.’

He was the most terrified of having a woman betrothed to him. He felt that he was too young to get married because he hadn’t boasted enough yet.

He couldn’t get married just yet.

It was much better to have a few experts escort him.

Su Changyu gave his answer.

“I’m a peerless Sword Immortal, why would I need someone to protect me?”

Su Changyu said.

His expression was indifferent.

After hearing what he said himself, Su Changyu’s smile stiffened.

‘Oh dear, it’s acting up again.’

The emperor and empress felt awkward after hearing his words.

However, they thought that he made sense.

Su Changyu’s cultivation level shouldn’t be too bad as he had a good physique even though he seemed to be in the Qi Refinement realm on the surface.

“Well, Changyu, go back and get a good rest. I’ll arrange the Teleportation Array for you, how about that?”

The empress said so.

“Alright, thank you Aunt and Uncle.”

Su Changyu nodded and bowed to them before turning around to leave.

After Su Changyu left, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t help but frown.

“Rouyun, Changyu doesn’t want anything, what should we do?”

“The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has given him so many things, should we do something too?”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t help but ask after Su Changyu left.

“Yes, we should.”

“I know what to give Changyu. He’ll definitely accept it, but it might be a little unfair to the Crown Prince.”

The empress explained.

After hearing her words, the emperor immediately understood.

Immediately after that, he said straightforwardly, “Who cares if it’s fair or not? My nephew matters the most in this world. Okay, I understand what you mean, leave this to me to handle. Accompany Changyu well in the next few days.”

After saying that, the emperor stood up. He already had an idea in mind.
