Chapter 171: Chapter 171

"How about this? After we meet that ’Living Immortal,’ we’ll send her back to the Chu Family."

Let’s delay it as long as we can.

Chu Lianxin, sitting on the side, nodded secretly. Brother Xiang didn’t deceive her, after all.

Chu Hongyuan saw Su Li’s confused face and said with a smile, "More than ten years ago, I only managed to succeed because of the guidance from that ’Living Immortal,’ and made an agreement with him. Once you turn eighteen, you’ll go up the mountain to meet him. Originally, I wanted to tell you about this on your birthday, but something happened during the birthday party."

The always quiet Chu Lianxin suddenly shouted, "Clearly, I’m the one that’s supposed to go; I’m your daughter!"

Su Li felt a bit enlightened. She remembered when she was little, the Chu Family wasn’t very wealthy, but suddenly they rose to prominence. So it was due to someone’s help.

Chu Lianxin said angrily, "If Su Li is going, then I have to go too!"

Chu Hongyuan hesitated a bit and said, "He’s your father’s benefactor, don’t offend him."

Chu Lianxin’s face darkened with anger.

Chu Hongyuan’s words implied that he believed Su Li to be more courteous and well-mannered than her. Su Li, as the young lady, knows how to handle situations without offending people.

Is she worse than this poor girl, Su Li?

The more Chu Hongyuan acted , the more determined Chu Lianxin was to go!

Chu Hongyuan had no choice but to fetch a Dragon Pattern Prototype Jade Pendant from upstairs, "This is the pendant left by the benefactor, meant to be taken along to find him." Thıs content belongs to novel•fire.net

Without thinking, Chu Lianxin seized it and, with a sense of triumph, glanced at Su Li saying, "It’s meant for my father’s daughter, so naturally it’s for me, his biological daughter."

Chu Lianxin couldn’t help but start imagining that if her father’s benefactor favored her and not Su Li, her position in the Chu Family would be more secure, right?

Thinking of this, Chu Lianxin joyfully went upstairs to prepare for her visit to Cloud Mist Mountain.

Chu Canyang tugged at Su Li’s hand and whispered, "Sis, don’t be sad."

Su Li just smiled; besides Can Yang, she felt no sense of belonging in this family...

Cloud Mist Mountain is the only pristine forest in Jiangzhou Prefecture that hasn’t been artificially developed into a scenic spot, with many miasmas in the woods. From the outside, it appears hazy, shrouded in mist and clouds.

Feng Huaijin sat in the car, one hand resting on the car window, the other holding a powerful binoculars.

Feng Huaijin savored the white milk candy in his mouth, with its creamy flavor lingering between his lips and teeth, "Are you sure you saw Xu Xing enter this mountain?"

Xiao Heng nodded heavily, "Yes, we did see him leave the bar and head to Cloud Mist Mountain."

Feng Huaijin’s eyes were cold, and he said sternly, "This time, we must get the medicine from Xu Xing."

His mother, who was in bed stricken by illness, was far away at the Feng Family in Yanjing.

The biggest reason he was willing to be ’assigned’ to Jiang City was to seek medicine.

Feng Huaijin looked through the powerful binoculars at the pristine forest, with a field of lush greenery in the lens.

Suddenly, the binoculars paused, and a subtle, intriguing smile appeared at the corners of Feng Huaijin’s lips.

Xiao Heng, sitting in the front, was bewildered. Why mention Su Li at this time?

Feng Huaijin looked with interest at the graceful yet familiar figure through the lens, took out his phone, and made a call, "Where are you?"

Su Li, panting as she climbed the mountain, replied, "Why are you calling me again? I’m... at home."

The smile at Feng Huaijin’s lips deepened.
