Chapter 1308 Is it okay to have one?
"Damn, you surnamed Jiang, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Situ Hong completely failed to grasp the underlying meaning in Jiang Xiaochuan's words.
In his view, Jiang Xiaochuan not only saved his life again, but also gave him a Nirvana Realm cultivation level for nothing.
If you used to consider him a close friend, now you're a brother you can entrust your back to.
He patted his chest and said loudly:
"You better hurry up and completely cure this damn hidden danger for me. If anyone dares to touch you in the future, I'll slap them so hard their own parents won't recognize them!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan merely glanced at him indifferently, then remained silent for a moment before his gaze returned to Situ Zhen.
"This cannot be cured in one treatment."
If we're just talking about our friendship, there's nothing wrong with helping Situ Hong repair his meridian problems in one go.
But in this unpredictable situation in the capital, personal relationships are never something that can put food on the table.
He is currently in deep trouble; neither the Crimson Blood Sect nor the Huangfu family will let him go.
What he needs to do is expand his power and gain a foothold in the quagmire of the capital, rather than becoming a pushover who only seeks peace of mind.
As the head of the Situ family, Situ Zhen's primary concern has always been the prosperity of his family.
He has made too many enemies now, and without Situ Hong as a real constraint...
If we rely solely on verbal favors, when faced with a life-or-death situation, the Situ family might choose to stand by and watch, or even turn against us, in order to protect themselves.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, this constraint must be kept firmly in hand.
"Hong'er, don't talk nonsense!"
Situ Zhen said in a low voice, "Also, from today onwards, you are not allowed to step out of the house without Xiao Chuan's or my permission."
He remained silent for a long time before making this decision.
Jiang Xiaochuan clearly wanted a promise, a guarantee.
Situ Hong may seem to have risen to prominence overnight, but in reality, his foundation is weak and he is a huge destabilizing factor.
Once this news leaks out, the other families, especially the Huangfu family who have a grudge against them, will be affected.
It's hard to guarantee they won't seize this opportunity to strike ruthlessly, nipping the Situ family's hopes for future rise in the bud.
He had to compromise.
Moreover… Situ Zhen looked intently at Jiang Xiaochuan, whose expression remained calm.
This will further bind this young man with amazing potential to the future of the Situ family.
This might very well be an opportunity.
Since he started paying attention to Jiang Xiaochuan, this young man has repeatedly brought unexpected breakthroughs.
Perhaps it's time to find a powerful backer for the Situ family in the future.
Situ Zhen took a deep breath and said with utmost solemnity:
"Xiao Chuan, from now on, the entire Situ family will be at your command, but there's one condition!"
"This is not a master-servant relationship, but an alliance of allies. You must protect the Situ family in times of crisis and ensure the stability of Situ Hong's foundation!"
These words not only gave Jiang Xiaochuan face but also protected the Situ family's bottom line, and firmly bound the interests of both parties together.
Jiang Xiaochuan's pupils contracted slightly; he hadn't expected Situ Zhen to be so decisive.
This is the result he wanted.
"Patriarch Situ, you flatter me. With this promise, no matter what storms may arise in the capital in the future, I, Jiang Xiaochuan, will never abandon the Situ family!"
Jiang Xiaochuan stepped forward, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Situ Zhen, and made a solemn promise.
Having achieved his goal, Jiang Xiaochuan immediately helped Situ Hong to regulate his meridians.
He handles things that seem hopeless to others with ease.
An hour later, Jiang Xiaochuan bid farewell to the Situ father and son and walked out of the Situ family's vermilion gate.
Outside, the sky was clear and bright, the air was vast and refreshing.
Looking up, the Situ family mansion stretches for miles, exuding the nobility and luxury of a century-old family.
In a sense, this behemoth that has occupied the capital for many years has become his appendage.
He finally had the confidence to influence the situation in one region.
However, the expected triumph did not materialize.
Jiang Xiaochuan's mind, surprisingly, calmed down.
The luxurious splendor and ornate carvings before him gradually blurred in his eyes.
He missed that remote little mountain village more and more.
I miss the old, crooked locust tree at the village entrance, and I miss the wisps of smoke rising from every household at dusk.
He misses even more the beautiful figure waiting for him to come home.
Once the thought popped into his head, it spread like wildfire, instantly taking over his entire heart.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaochuan wished he could sprout wings and fly back to that small mountain village immediately.
......
In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaochuan appeared in Stone Village.
The village became much more lively as the reputation of the premium vegetables spread far and wide.
Some people drive hundreds of miles just to see how these irresistible vegetables are cultivated.
The elementary school that Jiang Xiaochuan had been longing for had also been rebuilt, with its brand-new white walls and red tiles standing out in the sunlight.
He found Su Yu at the school gate.
At that moment, she stood quietly there, watching the children doing their morning exercises on the playground through the railing.
Five- or six-year-old children, dressed in brand-new school uniforms, hopped and skipped, stretching their arms and legs in response to the teacher's commands.
Su Yu was so engrossed in watching that her lips curved into a smile, her face filled with reminiscence.
Completely unaware, a person had appeared beside me without my noticing.
Do you like children?
"Um."
Su Yu subconsciously responded, and then her whole body trembled violently!
This voice... wasn't a mechanical tone coming through a telephone line, but rather a warm sound right next to my ear.
She turned her head and saw a handsome face, travel-worn and grinning foolishly at her.
All the longing erupted at this moment.
Su Yu could no longer hold back, her eyes reddened, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Jiang Xiaochuan raised his hand and gently hugged her. "You still haven't answered me: do you like children?"
In his arms, Su Yu's shoulders trembled slightly, her voice nasal yet clear: "I like it."
Jiang Xiaochuan's heart pounded like a string of bubbles. He tightened his arms and hugged her even tighter. "Then, shall we have one?"
Su Yu's body stiffened abruptly, then she buried her face even deeper, her head moving slightly twice.
An in-depth exchange that should have taken place long ago has been delayed due to interruptions.
This time, Jiang Xiaochuan did not hesitate.
He turned off his phone, took Su Yu's hand, and returned to the familiar courtyard, closing the gate tightly behind him.
Even the usually clingy Big Black and White Fox were chased out by him.
Outside the window, the setting sun slowly sinks.
But inside the room, springtime was in full bloom.
