Chapter 38
In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed.
During those ten years, Su Ming's power had also reached the peak of the fourth level of the Martial Saint Realm.
His divine sense could already cover a radius of three thousand miles. If he wanted to, he could reach the border of Chengyang in the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
At the age of 37, he still looked very young. He sat in front of the window and slowly opened a page of a book.
"Uncle, look, I also have my own Embroidered Spring Saber.”
In the library, a young man with a slightly immature face walked in. His right hand was holding a knife, and his posture was tall and straight, with an extraordinary bearing.
He was Chen Yubian's son, Chen Longxiang!
At the age of 14, due to his extraordinary talent in martial arts, he had only entered the North Town's Department of Supervision for a short three years and had already advanced to Houtian ninth grade. He was qualified to hang the embroidered spring knife and become the lowest level lieutenant of the North Town's Department of Supervision.
He was now a new upstart in the North Town's Department of Justice because his father, Chen Yubian, was already at Xiantian fourth grade. Three years ago, he had successfully advanced to the Black Tortoise Commander.
So far, other than the Azure Dragon who was still in seclusion, only the position of Commander Jiang Liang had fallen.
Su Ming lifted his head to size him up and teased,"Mm, not bad. In two years, you can go to the Joust For A Spouse and marry a wife.”
Chen Longxiang's face turned red when he heard that he was going to marry a wife. He said sadly,""Why doesn't Sister Yanran like me?”
All these years, Chen Longxiang and Sun Yin's daughter, Sun Yanran, spent most of her childhood in the archives.
As for Sun Yanran, because she had been playing in the library and learning from Su Ming to read every day, she had been raised into a little bookworm and had a quiet personality.
"I told you to read more books when you're not practicing martial arts. That way, you and Yanran will have something to talk about.”
Su Ming said with a smile as he flipped to a page.
"But my father said, how can a man of seven feet hold a brush and live a poor life? He should hold an embroidered spring knife and sit on a tall horse to charm little girls.”
Chen Longxiang said seriously.
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up, but he did not reply.
Although Chen Yubian and Chen Longxiang did not spend much time together, parents were always the best teachers for their children.
Chen Yubian and Xu Yuzhi were both martial artists, and they had a great influence on Chen Longxiang.
Therefore, when he was eleven years old, he was thrown into the North Town Office by Chen Yubian.
He did not disappoint. In just three years, he had advanced to Houtian first grade. This advancement could be said to be peerless talent!
The only thing he regretted was that Sun Yanran, whom he had liked since he was young, did not like him. Instead, she liked scholars with elegant temperament.
"Then your uncle didn't have an embroidered spring knife in his hand. Didn't he also charm Auntie Zhao?”
Sun Yanran's voice came from outside.
"Yanran, you're here?"
Chen Longxiang blushed and defended himself,""That's different. If my uncle was just a scholar, he definitely wouldn't be able to charm Auntie Zhao.”
Sun Yanran walked into the library and raised her eyebrows."Then tell me, how did your uncle charm Auntie Zhao?”
Chen Longxiang sized Su Ming up and said seriously,"It's because he's handsome. It's mainly because Uncle is handsome.”
"Look, ever since I was sensible, my uncle has always been like this. Now that I've grown up, my uncle is still like this. My father even has a strand of white hair on his temples.”
Su Ming could not help but laugh when he heard that.
"That's because your father has a lot to worry about after becoming the Black Tortoise commander.”
Sun Yanran pouted.
Her father, Sun Yin, was also an Embroidered Uniform Guard of the North Town Administrative Office. Over the years, he had relied on his shrewdness to become a Thousand Households Lord.
However, it was because she grew up in such a family that she knew how much her mother had sacrificed.
She didn't want to be like her mother in the future. She didn't want to spend too much time with her husband and have to worry about him.
In addition, she had read a lot of books over the years. She was smart and sensible. She knew that Chen Longxiang was not her ideal husband, so she only treated him as her brother.
After listening to Sun Yanran's words, Chen Longxiang's slightly immature face was a little disappointed because he was following in his father's footsteps.
He looked at Su Ming and said," Right, uncle, grandpa's health is getting worse. You should go over for lunch today."”
Uncle?
Su Ming sighed softly in his heart. When Chen Beihe was young, he was brave and had accumulated a lot of merits before he became a Thousand Householder. He could not avoid socializing.
He was already in his sixties, and his body was not very strong.
Su Ming guessed that Chen Beihe would probably die within five years.
Although he understood that it was human nature to grow old and die, he would only understand when life and death were separated. There were still many things that he did not have the time to say.
"I'll go too."
A sweet laugh came from outside the house.
"Hello, Aunt Zhao."
"Hello, Aunt Zhao."
Chen Longxiang and Sun Yanran hurriedly greeted him.
"Here, this is the pastry made for your uncle. You two are in luck.”
Zhao Ziyi walked in with an exquisite food box.
