Chapter 189: Signs of Action
Days passed quietly, and many things unfolded naturally.
Su Qingjun returned to the Su family, and under her father Su Tianhe’s comforting and persuasive words, the family finally reconciled. After all, how could blood relatives of decades really sever their bond so easily? Moreover, Su Tianhe, respecting his talented daughter, gave the Su family’s three brothers a good reprimanding. Even Su Qingjun’s mother, Bai Shi, had tears in her eyes as she embraced Su Qingjun and cried.
Following this, everything seemed to return to harmony. The Su family was once again united, but after this turmoil, everyone in the Su family clearly saw Su Qingjun’s elevated position, which became unmatched in the household.
Upon returning to the mountain, Su Qingjun met with Lu Chen. She felt somewhat embarrassed but still shared the news with him. Lu Chen only smiled and congratulated her, not saying much more or complaining about the hardships he had endured.
Su Qingjun wanted to compensate him somehow but didn’t know how at the moment. She thought that since they had a long future ahead, she didn’t need to rush. Now that Lu Chen was officially her nominal disciple, she had a reason to care for him. In time, she planned to formally accept him as her personal disciple, providing him with various resources and elixirs, ensuring his cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It would make his life’s efforts worthwhile.
With eighteen days remaining until the full moon night, the moon appeared even thinner than the previous day. The moonlight was still bright, casting a frosty sheen on the windowsill of the Feiyan Pavilion’s wooden house.
Lu Chen lay on the bed, quietly gazing at the night scene outside the window. After a while, a soft rustle came from the darkness nearby. Ah Tu walked over, leaning against him and placing its front paws on the windowsill, also gazing at the moon.
The moonlight bathed both Lu Chen and the dog, soft and fluid like ripples.
Lu Chen reached out and patted Ah Tu’s body, noticing that the black dog was entranced by the moon in the sky. The light in its single eye shimmered with an inexplicable brilliance, like a black transparent gem.
