Chapter 1954: Chapter 1954: Su Chen’s Attitude

As for Leng Ning, he just returned yesterday and hasn’t been seen yet.

However, before he went to Qu Minghe, she had already reached the Ninth Turn of the Tongxuan Realm, so it’s likely she’s now breaking through to the Divine Sea Realm!

Leng Ning, along with the other women and He Qishan, have made such significant progress in their cultivation, partly because they’re truly hardworking, and partly because their talent is exceptional!

Of course, this is inextricably linked to the cultivation resources provided by Su Chen!

It’s important to know that the cultivation resources Su Chen gave them are beyond the reach of others at their level!

This time, upon returning, Su Chen gave each of the women, including He Qigang, some Red Mysterious Stones, while Leng Ning had already received some when he was in the Imperial City!

Even though he gave more than half of it to Li Changting, he still has around two thousand pieces, more than he can use!

Moreover, whenever he wants, he can seek more from the Yuntong Commerce Guild!

As for the other cultivation resources, Su Chen doesn’t need to worry, because Li Changting will surely provide enough security for the women, including He Qishan!

He’s a wily old fox!

In fact, there’s no need to give the Red Mysterious Stones; they differ from other cultivation resources in that they’re both precious resources and the hard currency of the Yunxiao Continent!

Just like money on Earth, it’s always good to have some on hand in case of emergencies!

...

That day, an unexpected guest arrived at the mansion—Third Prince Ning Rui!

"Young Master Su, you’re living quite the enjoyable life!"

Ning Rui said with a smile:

"It’s enviable!"

"What brings the Third Prince to my humble abode?"

Su Chen asked casually.

His interactions with the Third Prince had been decent, and Ning Rui had helped him several times, for which Su Chen was grateful!

Ning Rui laughed at this and said:

"I heard of your return and specially came to invite you out for a drink, how about it?"

Since Ning Rui personally extended the invitation, Su Chen naturally agreed!

They then left the mansion and returned to the Jufu Pavilion where they first met, still at the same upstairs spot!

When they arrived, the food and wine were already laid out!

Without any attendants, Ning Rui took the initiative to pour a glass for each of them.

They lightly clinked glasses and each took a sip.

"Young Master Su, your recent deeds in the Imperial City are now known throughout the entire Dynasty; it truly makes one’s heart stir!"

Third Prince Ning Rui put down his glass and exclaimed.

Although when he first befriended Su Chen, it was because he saw something exceptional in him and potential for future development!

But he never imagined that in just a few short months, the other had achieved such strength, causing such a stir in the Great Yan Imperial City!

Bear in mind, those are the top forces of the Great Yan Empire!

Any one of those figures could sweep all before them if they came to the Shenfeng Dynasty!

Yet Su Chen, in such circumstances, not only survived but was unscathed!

Terrifying!

In fact, deep down he felt secretly relieved that he had befriended him from the start!

This risk was incredibly well-taken!

Su Chen glanced at him and smiled slightly: 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Third Prince, I suspect you didn’t just invite me here for a drink, did you?"

"Face to face with Young Master Su, I speak frankly. Firstly, it’s been a while since we last met. Secondly, my father the Monarch has heard of the Four Major Academies merging and feels a bit uneasy, hence I came to ask."

Third Prince Ning Rui spoke directly.

He knew that in the face of Su Chen, trying to be evasive or beating around the bush would only be in vain!

Ning Rui’s words didn’t surprise Su Chen, because once the Four Major Academies merged, their power would obviously exceed that of the royal family. To say that Ning Yuanchang wasn’t worried would be a lie!

At this moment, facing Su Chen, Ning Rui couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious!

He understood that even reaching out to Li Changting wouldn’t help; the real decision-maker was Su Chen!

To put it bluntly, whether it’s the Four Major Academies or the royal family, in his eyes, they’re probably no more than ants!

Not to mention, his immediate actions give clear intentions. Previously, issues concerning the Fourth Prince, although resolved, still left some dissatisfaction!

"Third Prince, please inform the Monarch that even if the Four Major Academies merge, they wish to coexist peacefully with the royal family!"

Su Chen could guess the other’s concerns and after pondering, replied.

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing Su Chen’s stance, Ning Rui finally relaxed!

He knew that this was partly due to the goodwill he had extended in the past, and the respect received in return!

"Enough of that, let’s just enjoy the drink today!"

Su Chen smiled.

Ning Rui lifted his glass and said:

"Alright, let me toast Young Master Su again!"

...

After finishing their drinks, the two parted ways!

Since he was already out, Su Chen planned to make a trip to the Yuntong Commerce Guild!

Only to find out that Fang Hongtai was out on business and would take some time to return, so Su Chen returned home!

By the time he got back to the mansion, it was late, and the women were busy preparing dinner again.

The rest of the women were chatting about topics among themselves, leaving Su Chen with nothing to contribute!

With nothing much to do, he retreated to his room to cultivate!

At this moment, he began cultivating the Stellar Power once more!

As his cultivation technique circulated, starlight between heaven and earth slowly poured into his body, finally converging into the whirlpool at the end of his meridians!

When dinner was ready, Su Chen emerged from his room!

It was another lively and warm dinner!

After dinner, the women made plans to go shopping together and naturally dragged Su Chen along!

Su Chen initially thought of refusing, but upon reflecting that he hadn’t accompanied them shopping for quite a while, he agreed!

However, he soon regretted it!

Because shopping with women is truly exhausting, especially when several women go shopping together!

He silently berated himself:

Why hadn’t past experiences taught him anything?!

Finally, once all the women were satisfied with their shopping, they headed back to the mansion!

At the mansion, the women began distributing the "spoils," while Su Chen retreated to his room to rest for a while before diving into his study of inscriptions.

Currently, he had nearly mastered the Fifth Level Inscriptions and was preparing to delve into the Sixth Level!

If others knew the speed of his progress, they would undoubtedly be utterly astounded!

For the Path of Inscriptions is inherently profound and abstruse, difficult to even begin!

Yet Su Chen, in such a short time, had reached this stage!

What’s even more impressive is that while others concentrate on a single domain in their research, he delves into every domain!
