Chapter 368 Harsh Conditions
"What? No, no, absolutely not. Sister Su, why don't you find someone else for this matter? I really can't do it."
In an antique room in the Su Mansion, there were only Lu Chen and Su Ruolan at the moment.
Su Ruolan told Lu Chen about the difficulties she encountered and hoped that Lu Chen would help her, otherwise she would die.
As a result, Lu Chen immediately rejected it when he heard it.
"Humph! Now that you have come to the Su Mansion, you have to agree even if you don't want to. Can you really bear to see my sister die in front of you?"
Su Ruolan snorted coldly at first, then said pitifully and aggrievedly.
As he spoke, tears came out of his eyes, and he looked very sad.
"Oh my god! What a sin! If I had known it would be like this, I would rather spend more time and effort to fly the flying boat to Taibai City alone, instead of having to deal with such a thing."
Lu Chen cried out in his heart, blaming the heavens and the earth. Seeing the beauty's tears, Lu Chen's heart softened after all, and he said bitterly:
"Okay! I promise you!"
"Bo..." Su Ruolan immediately smiled happily when she heard that, and then kissed Lu Chen on the face like lightning.
"Hehehe... I knew you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die. Consider this a reward for you. Let's go. My parents are still waiting for us."
Su Ruolan smiled charmingly, and then pushed Lu Chen, who looked depressed, out of the room.
The cause of the incident has to start from Su Ruolan’s grandfather’s generation.
Su Ruolan's grandfather, Su Xinghe, is the current head of the Su family, and he has three sons.
The eldest son is Su Zhiguo, the second son is Su Zhizhou, and the youngest son is Su Zhicheng.
Su Zhicheng is Su Ruolan's father and the third son of the Su family.
The Su family and the Leng family have been friends for generations. The eldest son, Su Zhiguo, and the second son, Su Zhizhou, both married the two daughters of the Leng family.
By Su Ruolan's generation, because the Su Zhiguo and Su Zhizhou families had some blood relationship with the Leng family, they were considered close relatives and could no longer marry each other.
The fact that close relatives cannot marry each other is widely circulated in the world of cultivation.
Therefore, when the third generation of the Leng family proposed marriage to the Su family again, they could only target Su Ruolan, who was from the branch of Su Zhicheng, the third son of the Su family.
Su Ruolan was born with a beauty that could topple a country or a city, and could be described as the most stunning of all beauties.
So almost all the third generation of the Leng family fell in love with Su Ruolan, a total of five people.
Su Xinghe, the old man of the Su family, didn't care, because he had personally seen the five third-generation people from the Leng family who had proposed marriage, and almost every one of them was an outstanding person, a rare and gifted son of heaven.
But then the problem arose: it was not appropriate for the old man to agree to anyone's request.
So the eldest brother Su Zhiguo came up with a bad idea. He asked the five third generations of the Leng family to have a martial arts competition to find a bride. Whoever won would marry Su Ruolan.
As soon as old man Su Xinghe heard this idea, he thought it was feasible, as it would not offend any branch of the Leng family.
However, Su Ruolan refused to accept this, as she had always been strongly opposed to family marriage.
But there is a saying that goes, as a girl from a noble family, how can you be free?
But in the end, with the third brother Su Zhicheng's strenuous efforts, Su Ruolan was able to find someone she liked to participate in the martial arts competition to win a husband.
If that person wins in the end, Su Ruolan can marry the person she loves.
The condition is that the person must be no older than thirty years old, his cultivation must not be lower than the Golden Core Stage, and he must have a ranking on the Dan Dao Tower.
These two conditions may sound simple, but they are actually extremely difficult and can be said to be very demanding.
First of all, anyone who can break through to the Golden Core Stage at the age of less than 30 is a genius among geniuses.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Su Ruolan looks only in her twenties. In fact, she has been practicing for more than forty years. However, for cultivators, age is not an issue at all.
In addition, Su Ruolan had taken the anti-aging pill given by Lu Chen, which had frozen her youth and preserved her beauty forever, making her even more beautiful than ever.
Secondly, it is even more difficult to be ranked in the Dan Dao Tower. Those under the age of 30 must practice and learn the art of alchemy.
The art of alchemy is difficult to begin with, so when you add the two together, finding such a person is almost impossible to find in a million.
So when Su Ruolan heard these two conditions, she ran away from home in anger, and she was gone for five years.
When old man Su Xinghe found out about this, he was furious.
However, considering that the relationship with the Leng family cannot be too strained, old man Su Xinghe suppressed the matter.
He told others that Su Ruolan had gone out to learn skills from a master and would take about five years to come back.
Even the eldest son Su Zhiguo and the second son Su Zhizhou did not know about this matter.
Because five years is not a long time for a cultivator, the third generation of the Leng family also believed the old man's lies.
On the other hand, old man Su Xinghe was secretly and desperately looking for Su Ruolan.
It was only some time ago that I received news that Su Ruolan was working at Feiyudan Pavilion in southern Xinjiang.
Su Xinghe immediately used the relationship between the Su family and the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce to transfer Su Ruolan to Central Plains.
In fact, when Su Ruolan was inexplicably transferred to the Central Plains, it was still a remote small town like Xinyang City.
But Su Ruolan still realized that these might be related to her family. Sure enough, not long after, her mother and daughter came to her.
Perhaps because she had been away from home for five years, Su Ruolan had undergone a great change mentally.
For some unknown reason, I agreed to my parents' request to go home.
Moreover, returning home would mean facing the unavoidable engagement, which Su Ruolan knew very well.
The only requirement is to let the parents go back first, and I will go back after finishing the handover work in my hands.
During the past five years, Su Ruolan had tried to find the right man who met those two conditions, but unfortunately she had not met any.
Just when Su Ruolan thought she would become a slave to marriage, sacrificing herself for the sake of her family,
Suddenly, "Yao Li" broke out in Xinyang City. She thought she was going to die under "Yao Li". Wasn't this a kind of relief?
However, the weather was not good, Su Ruolan was not infected by "Yao Li", and she couldn't take the initiative to run to the infection area! Let herself be infected by "Yao Li"!
Unless she has a bud in her brain, who would do this?
It was at that time that Lu Chen appeared.
Su Ruolan not only witnessed Lu Chen's amazing alchemy skills, but also saw Lu Chen's strong fighting ability.
So, at that time, the light of hope ignited in Su Ruolan's heart.
She had no aversion to Lu Chen in the first place, and although Lu Chen's cultivation had not reached the required level, his strength was stronger than hers, so he could be considered to have barely passed.
In addition, when she learned that Lu Chen was going to participate in the trial of the Dandao Tower, Su Ruolan's mind became even more active.
Otherwise, how could she have suggested that Lu Chen take the teleportation array with her.
So, after hearing such a bloody story, Lu Chen immediately refused. He didn't want to be involved in matters concerning two families.
If he fails to handle one of them well, he will probably offend two families, and then he will be in trouble both inside and outside. With his limited cultivation level, it is not enough for others to look up to him.
However, since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women, and Lu Chen finally agreed to Su Ruolan’s request...
