CHAPTER 741: CHAPTER 739, XU WENDONG IS THREATENED

Su Jianjun couldn’t stay calm.

After all, he was now a Deputy Ministerial Level official, one step away from being at the Ministerial Level. Considering his age, very few reached such heights nationally.

His life’s dream was to reach the Ministerial Level.

As for going further...

He had never considered it.

Becoming a Vice-National Level official was incredibly difficult, requiring tangible achievements.

"I’m heading back now. When I get some time, I’ll come to your city for a visit." After dinner, Xu Wendong bid farewell to Su Jianjun’s family, though Su Li was reluctant to part.

It’s often said that brief separations are sweeter than a new marriage. They had been together for only one night, and she didn’t want to let Xu Wendong go.

But.

She wasn’t clingy, so she pretended to be carefree and waved goodbye to Xu Wendong.

Seeing his daughter’s saddened demeanor, Su Jianjun hesitated but finally said, "Xu Wendong isn’t an ordinary person. You need to get used to the kind of life with more separations and fewer reunions. If possible, I hope you two could separate."

Wang Guiyun shot her husband a disapproving look: "We’ve reached where we are today all thanks to Wendong. Do you think it’s appropriate to say that?"

Su Jianjun sighed: "Indeed, it’s not appropriate to say it, it sounds like burning bridges after crossing. But as a father, this has to be said."

"Don’t forget, Wendong is a cultivator. His future achievements are boundless; he could even reach the legendary level of Ascend to Immortality."

"We, on the other hand, are merely ordinary people and we will age with time."

"You will grow old in front of the man you love, you can’t grow old together with him."

"Decades from now, you’ll be a gray-haired old woman, while he remains an eternally youthful youth. Have you ever considered that?"

Wang Guiyun also fell silent. As her husband said, this was not good for either her daughter or Xu Wendong. They would both experience the pain of separation by death.

Pain filled Su Li’s eyes. She had not thought about what her father said before, but hearing it now, it felt like a knife cutting through her heart, nearly suffocating her.

She took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I know you’re thinking of your daughter, but I won’t change my mind. My heart belongs to Xu Wendong for life!"

Seeing that her father wanted to say something, Su Li interrupted him: "You also said earlier that Wendong might reach the realm of Ascend to Immortality, if that’s the case, then your daughter should not leave him."

"The ancients say the man who achieves enlightenment will elevate even his pets!"

------

After leaving the Su Family, Xu Wendong had Huang Yang take him to the airport. He was to catch a plane to Shaanxi Province since the Qinling Mountains were located there.

He originally planned to spend some more time with his confidantes before heading to the Qinling Mountains, as he hadn’t seen them in a long time.

But after spending a night with Su Li, he changed his mind, sensing her deep reluctance to part with him, which stemmed not from the long absence but from his growing strength.

After all.

His strength improved, but the women around him were still mundane.

If he continued to grow and they remained ordinary, he could only watch as his beloved grew old in his arms.

That’s why he felt an urgency to head to the Qinling Mountains, to find the Pill Furnace of Medicine King Valley. Only by refining a Miraculous Elixir could he prevent his beloved from aging in his arms.

Upon reaching the airport, Xu Wendong met Ye Qingxin.

After yesterday’s healing, Ye Qingxin had mostly recovered from her injuries.

She wore a sky-blue cheongsam dress, with striking features and an elegant demeanor in her every move.

Ye Qingxin handed the plane ticket to Xu Wendong and said, "I contacted Qian Duoduo. Over the years, the Qian Family has sent quite a few people to the Qinling Mountains without any results. Let’s treat this as a simple vacation."

Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Why not treat it as a honeymoon?"

Ye Qingxin felt a wave of emotion. Thinking of it as a honeymoon was indeed more delightful and exciting than just a vacation.

After all, Xu Wendong hadn’t been with her for quite some time...

She longed to be filled by him!

After completing the boarding procedures, they took their seats in first class on a flight bound for Shaanxi Province. The spacious first class wasn’t crowded, as ticket prices were quite high.

Besides Xu Wendong and Ye Qingxin, there were two young men, around twenty-five or six, dressed in luxury brands, wearing expensive watches.

They were talking about stocks and funds, discussing amounts in the hundreds of thousands and millions.

Xu Wendong ignored their chatter, closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the plane to take off.

But the two young men focused their attention on Ye Qingxin, captivated by her looks, figure, and demeanor. Women with such classical beauty weren’t easy to come by.

"Hey, beautiful, can I add you on WeChat and be friends?" A short-haired young man smiled broadly. His name was Han Kai, from Shaanxi Province, known as a playboy.

The other young man added: "We’re both from Shaanxi Province, and since this flight’s heading there, we can show you around." He said, making sure to flash his wrist adorned with a Patek Philippe watch worth millions.

Any other woman might have been impressed by their wealth, but Ye Qingxin was now the agent of The Outer Eight Sects. A mere few million or tens of millions was nothing to her, like pocket change, unable to stir her interest.

She nudged Xu Wendong beside her with her elbow, a slight displeasure in her voice: "Hey, they’re hitting on me. Aren’t you going to do something?"

Although she could reject them herself, she was, after all, Xu Wendong’s woman and hoped Xu Wendong would deal with these young men.

Xu Wendong, keeping his eyes closed, said nonchalantly: "How could a woman protected by a lion fall for a couple of hyenas?"

"Who are you calling a hyena?" The young man named Han Kai was immediately angry, feeling his dignity challenged, especially in front of a beautiful woman. It was quite displeasing.

The other young man, named Wang Jun, stood up, eyeing Xu Wendong with amusement: "Bro, you’re bold to call us hyenas. Do you believe I won’t have you end up in the hospital after this flight?"

Han Kai sneered: "Putting him in the hospital after landing is too kind. If he doesn’t kneel and apologize, I’ll make sure he ends up in the morgue!"

"They’re threatening you," Ye Qingxin said, smiling slightly, as if watching a fun show.

Xu Wendong slowly opened his eyes, with a trace of helplessness: "Gentlemen, are you sure you want to mess with me? Do I really seem so easy to bully?"
