As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

A noble family seeking longevity must balance the relationships among major powers; that’s the key.

“Fortunately, the Su Family has fully established relations with the Daoist Master Mansion… Though there have been some losses, the issues are not significant. At least, it helps the Su Family solidify its position.”

“The Zhou Family, the Yun Family, and the Zhong Family want to take advantage of this period to erode the Su Family. Hmph… What they swallow will eventually be spat out!”

“And those two… one is a Hunting God Pavilion Star Constellation Killer, and the other is the Dragon God Lineage’s Dragon Son Ao Lie. Why have they gone silent? Were they intimidated by Lv Taibai?”

“Useless… His own sister is killed, his own daughter is killed, yet he still hesitates and fears.”

Su Daoling mockingly cursed in the dark.

He was quite upset with the new Divine Sculpture Half-Saint Li Che from Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

After all, this Divine Sculpture Half-Saint was supposed to appear in their Su Family, where Su Huaiming had been cultivated with great resources as a Five Elders Divine Sculpture Master. Yet… he fell at the final step, assassinated.

The Su Family believes that Su Huaiming’s death is surely related to this Li Che!

“Furthermore, Lv Taibai’s direct disciple, Qian Yuan Young Sect Master Li Nuanxi… who knows how those two young ones are progressing. Our Su Family men excel in the art of charm… If they could truly gain Li Nuanxi’s favor, the Su Family would securely anchor in Qianyuan Daoist City, and even have extra strength to support the Divine Capital.”

“If the Third Prince could win the Crown Prince position… then the status of the Su Family would completely elevate, reaching a thousand-year-old family’s prominence without any doubt.”

Su Daoling exhaled a breath; recently, a letter from the Divine Capital mentioned that with the Empress’s Flat Peach Victory Meeting approaching, the Crown Prince rivalry is growing fiercer.

The Third Prince holds a significant advantage, prompting the Su Family to send a batch of resources to the Divine Capital to support the Third Prince.

Su Daoling had no objections, gathered a batch of resources, and sent them to the Divine Capital, aiming for merit with the dragon. If successful, the Su Family might have a chance to enter the grand stage of the Divine Capital.

Instead of residing in the small area of Lingnan Circuit.

“Family Head, Inner Sect Four Elders of Qian Yuan Divine Sect brought Su Li.”

Outside, a guard whispered.

Upon hearing this, Su Daoling smiled: “Quickly invite them.”

Ji Heshan, the Su Family’s connection within the Divine Sect, was established with substantial costs, even promising to sponsor Ji Heshan’s advancement into the Divine Fetus Realm.

Su Li became Ji Heshan’s disciple, and Su Daoling even asked Ji Heshan to create opportunities for Su Li to interact with Li Nuanxi.

After a moment.

Ji Heshan, dressed in a simple robe with flowing sleeves, followed by Su Li, slowly entered the Family Head Hall.

“Su Li greets the Family Head.” Su Li earnestly and respectfully clasped his hands.

With a warm expression, Su Daoling stroked his beard with a smile: “Su Li, you are the most talented among the young generation of our Su Family. You must strive harder; the rise of the Su Family rests on your shoulders.”

“Even though marrying Li Nuanxi prevents you from using the Su Family’s secret techniques, the advantages given to you by Li Nuanxi’s status and position surpass those of the secret techniques. With your talent alone, you can reach very high levels.”

Su Daoling laughed.

Su Li’s heart stirred slightly.

Ji Heshan sat opposite, smilingly chatting with Su Daoling.

“Su Chuyang isn’t doing well; his mind is focused solely on defeating Li Nuanxi… a bit straightforward.”

Ji Heshan shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Su Daoling nodded: “Then all the resources for Su Chuyang will go to Su Li…”

“Elder Ji, try this tribute tea my beloved daughter sent back from the Divine Capital. Only the dignitaries in the Imperial Palace can drink this tribute tea.”

Su Daoling chuckled.

Gurgling.

Beside the table, the water furnace boiled, steaming and puffing hot air.

Opening the furnace lid, using bamboo tongs, a few tea leaves overflowing with spiritual energy were tossed into the boiling water. In just a moment, the tea leaves spread out, emerald green, with a rich tea fragrance lingering continuously.

Su Daoling deeply inhaled the tea aroma, his lips curling into a smile.

He, Su Daoling, having a good daughter, had the opportunity to taste this delicacy unique to the Dajing Palace.

Ji Heshan’s eyes also lit up.

Anything sent to the Dajing Palace must be of good quality.

Pouring two cups of hot tea, amidst the chill, the dense tea aroma seemed to solidify into silk-like streaks.

Su Daoling leaned back in his chair. After handling the mundane affairs of a vast noble family, it was finally time for rest, his most enjoyable moment.

Picking up the tea cup, just intending to bring it to his lips.

Suddenly.

His gaze slightly contracted.

Through the mirror-like reflection of the tea cup, he unexpectedly saw a figure silently appear behind him.

His hand couldn’t help but tremble.

The calm of the tea was shattered, rippling waves!

“Who?!”

A cold feeling surged in Su Daoling’s heart, immediately shouting angrily.

Ji Heshan’s hand, preparing to take the tea cup, abruptly shivered, raising his head blankly.

Beside him, Su Li was so startled that he nearly fell into a stupor.

A powerful Heaven and Earth Soul stirred, as if an invisible twisted figure was entwining the Heaven and Earth’s power behind him, swelling like an inflated balloon, instantly expanding!

Yet, he was shocked to find his angry shout had been cut off.

Not a sound transmitted.

Silence, deathly silence surrounded them!

“Who is it?!”

Su Daoling’s mind trembled.

This was the Su Family!

It was the Su Family Mansion, and due to the last affair with Yellow Sword Wine, he, as the Su Family Patriarch, personally arranged a Divine Talisman Array for the Su Family Mansion.
