436: Su Qingge has a headache

The summer night sky, like a deep blue velvet, added a touch of mystery and poetry.

The twinkling stars, like countless shimmering diamonds, were embedded in the deep night sky, reflecting the bright moonlight, together weaving a serene and peaceful summer night scroll.

Inside the Su Family Manor, a gentle breeze blew, and all was quiet, with only the soft chirping of summer insects to be heard.

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's Grandmaster battle..."

Su Qingge enjoyed the peace and tranquility that reached deep into her heart, while pondering the latest news Granny Rong had delivered not long ago... Tomorrow, the officials would hold a Jianghu Life and Death Arena.

At that time, two legendary Martial Arts Grandmasters would engage in a Deathmatch.

One of them was Jiang Yangping, a Martial Arts Grandmaster who had become famous 20 years ago.

The other's identity was unknown; it was rumored that he was a Young Grandmaster, a natural martial arts prodigy, who had already dominated an area before the age of 30... [Jiang Yangping was already a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm 20 years ago, sweeping through the Huaxia Martial Arts World.]

[Now 20 years have passed, it's hard to imagine how much stronger he has become...]

[And his opponent is also very powerful and mysterious, with unparalleled talent. To achieve Young Grandmaster status at such an age is truly unheard of, and terrifying indeed—!!!!!!!]

[I must witness their battle in person; it will surely provide considerable help for my future promotion to Martial Arts Grandmaster.]

[If I'm lucky enough, I might even be able to "blood sacrifice" some martial artists to accelerate the improvement of my cultivation.]

[Normally, opportunities like this, where so many martial artists gather, are rare...]

...Even though she felt the gap in talent with the Young Grandmaster, Su Qingge did not feel discouraged.

The cultivation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, in the eyes of ordinary martial artists... might be a realm forever out of reach.

But in her mind, it was merely a matter of time.

And the best way to shorten that time difference... was to devour a large amount of vital energy... Compared to ordinary people, the vital energy of martial artists is clearly more robust and condensed; 100 ordinary people might not compare to one martial artist who has just entered Inner Strength.

Not to mention those higher-level martial artists; they are simply walking "ginseng fruits"...

Currently, Su Qingge could already feel her cultivation speed slowing down, having reached a certain bottleneck.

The biggest reason for this was not that her talent and potential had reached their limit, but rather that ordinary people were no longer qualified to be her "nourishment."

If she wanted to break through to Martial Arts Grandmaster within half a year, she would need "food" of higher quality...

Upon this thought.

Su Qingge couldn't help but blink, letting her thoughts wander for a moment... [If those two Grandmasters in the Deathmatch just happened to fight to a draw, both heavily injured, and I just happened to pick up the pieces and absorb them, that would be great...]

[If I could absorb the power of two Grandmasters in one go, I might even be able to break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm in an instant...]

[Even if I can't break through, I'd probably only be a hair's breadth away, and achieving Grandmaster status would be a matter of course.]

[By that time, even in front of Master, I probably wouldn't feel so powerless anymore; I would truly possess... the strength to protect those around me...]

...At this thought, a hint of longing unconsciously appeared on Su Qingge's face.

But soon, she sighed deeply in her heart.

In fact, she knew she was daydreaming; how could she be so lucky as to just happen to pick up the pieces?

After stopping her unrealistic fantasies, Su Qingge was entangled by a new problem... [Tomorrow... what reason should I use to leave Lin Xuan's side?]

(ー`´ー).

To disguise herself and reduce the chance of her identity being exposed.

To this day, Su Qingge still portrayed herself as a "cripple" with paralyzed legs.

If she were to rashly suggest to Lin Xuan that she needed to leave for a period, he would most likely ask many questions and even thoughtfully insist on accompanying her.

But the Martial Arts World is too cruel, and if she had a choice... Su Qingge still hoped that the young man could stay away from this circle; she only wished for Lin Xuan to be an ordinary person, living a happy life of luxury and comfort...

During this time, all the responsibilities and hardships would be borne by her alone.

After all, Lin Xuan had already married her, becoming her auspicious son-in-law.

So, as a responsible modern woman.

Since she married a man, she should logically be responsible to the end, bear the heavy burden of the family, be responsible for working outside to support the family, and carry the heavy load forward.

She would pour everything into shielding her man from wind and rain, allowing him to live his life carefree.

Therefore, Su Qingge never thought of revealing the cruel realities of [martial artists] and [revenge] to Lin Xuan.

And this also led to an imbalance in information between them at times, just like now... How could she come up with a suitable excuse to leave legitimately???

Su Qingge racked her brains, sighing softly in her heart.

Oh, what a headache →_→~~~~

At this moment, the couple, who were enjoying their sweet troubles in the manor, were unaware... 51,000 feet above their heads, a Praetor jet private plane was rapidly approaching the Magic City route.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

"Eh? A plane! But why is that plane shaking so much?"

Lin Xuan inadvertently looked up and noticed that the plane flying overhead, flashing specks of red light in the dark night, seemed to have a very unstable flight path, swaying left and right?

..."Calling headquarters! Calling headquarters! The plane has malfunctioned! Please send help immediately!"

"No! It's too late! It's going to crash! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

"Elder Jiang, and you, my young disciple! Please put on your parachutes immediately, we must jump out of the plane now!"

"Sorry! The plane can't make it to the agreed location! Life and death are fated, let's each take care of ourselves!"

"..."

High above, the pilot was breaking out in a cold sweat, desperately trying to control the malfunctioning plane.

But the final outcome was still beyond his control.

With no other option, he quickly took out two parachutes and threw them to the back seats.

There, an old man and a young man were sitting... Jiang Yangping! Tang Hao!
