Whether the Su family can endure for ten thousand years depends on you.
Chapter 1584 Whether the Su family can endure for ten thousand years depends on you.
As dawn broke, Su Fan slowly walked out of the Jiang family's old house.
He stopped and turned around, his gaze sweeping over the magnificent palace complex. A faint smile played on his lips as he slowly nodded.
Before long, this place will change hands and become the new foundation of the Su family.
Luo Guyin did not leave with him, but continued to patrol and familiarize herself with the various parts of the mansion, making full preparations for the subsequent move of the Su family members.
She has protected the Su family for hundreds of years and has long regarded herself as a member of the Su family. She also cherishes the younger members of the clan as her own descendants.
It is precisely for this reason that over the years, Luo Guyin has devoted herself to the survival and development of the Su family, working tirelessly day and night without ever slacking off.
Before leaving, Su Fan specially summoned Sister Zhen, Yaksha and others to his side and instructed them to follow Luo Guyin's orders and arrangements.
After giving all the instructions, he activated "Void Lightning Escape," transforming into a streak of pale purple lightning that hurtled towards the Su family's old residence.
By the time Su Fan returned to the Su family's old house, it was already broad daylight.
A few lingering stars still lingered in the pale blue sky, and the earth was shrouded in a thin layer of silvery-gray mist, creating a hazy, fairyland-like scene.
The eastern horizon was already tinged with an eggshell-white hue, tinged with a blood-red hue, which was slowly spreading outwards.
Not wanting to disturb his clan, he quietly scanned the area with his divine sense and accurately located the residence of his senior sister and the others.
Inside the room, Senior Sister, Gu Qinghuan, and Li Miaoxue were sleeping soundly and peacefully on the floor couch.
A pang of guilt rose in Su Fan's heart. They must have waited for him all night, perhaps not even closing their eyes for most of the night.
After being away for hundreds of years, on his first day back to his clan, he made his three Daoist companions wait for half the night. This negligence was really unacceptable.
Su Fan lightly touched the ground with his toes and silently darted outside the room, waving his hand gently.
Several maids who were getting up to get busy in the back room of the courtyard suddenly felt a weight on their faces and fell asleep again.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and set up an invisible isolation array to protect the courtyard completely before gently pushing open the door.
As soon as she stepped through the hall, Gu Qinghuan, who was on the couch, slowly woke up.
Just as she was about to sit up, she saw Su Fan approach and sit down beside her with a smile.
"Why did it take you so long to get back..."
Gu Qinghuan's tone carried a hint of coquettish complaint as she deliberately turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
"I had to take care of something last night, and it took me until dawn to finish..." Su Fan explained gently.
Gu Qinghuan was taken aback by his words and turned to look at him: "What were you busy with last night..."
“I think our old house is cramped and the surrounding spiritual veins are ordinary, so I’m thinking of moving to a better place to live…”
Su Fan did not mention the destruction of the Jiang family, intending to give them a big surprise later.
His three Daoist partners have remained loyal and devoted to the Su family through countless hardships over the years. He will repay them tenfold in the future and protect them for a lifetime of peace and safety.
"Stop messing around..." Gu Qinghuan frowned slightly.
"Within the Demon Sun Divine Palace's sphere of influence, where are there any truly prime locations left? Just being able to hold onto our current foundation is already a feat..."
Su Fan didn't say anything, but simply reached out and held her slightly cool hand, gazing intently at her face.
Gu Qinghuan was already shy, and with his hands being held like this and his eyes fixed on her, her face instantly flushed red.
She quickly turned her head away to avoid his gaze, instinctively trying to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.
After struggling for a few moments to no avail, she let him hold her hand.
My heart was pounding faster and faster, and a warm feeling spread through my body. The atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous and tender.
If it were her senior sister in this situation, she would probably have rushed over to him long ago, instead of being so shy like her.
"Did you miss me...?" Su Fan's voice carried a hint of low laughter.
Gu Qinghuan's breath hitched, her cheeks burning even hotter, but she still nodded gently.
Su Fan chuckled softly, glanced at his senior sister and Li Miaoxue who were still fast asleep beside him, then looked at Gu Qinghuan, whose face was flushed, and winked at her.
An indescribable warmth spread from the bottom of Gu Qinghuan's heart, and her blood and qi became hot all over her body.
She was stunned for a moment, and looking at Su Fan's mischievous expression, she instantly realized that he had done something wrong.
She raised her hand to hit him, but he grabbed her wrist and their fingertips intertwined.
Before long, it was evening, and the sun was setting.
A fiery red sun was half-hidden among the western mountains, its orange-red afterglow spreading out and dyeing half the sky brilliantly.
At this moment, Luo Guyin had already returned to the Su family's old residence and was sitting cross-legged in the main hall. Li Chao, Su Chang'an, Gu Man, and others were also in the hall, their faces filled with barely concealed excitement.
As for Su Fan and his three Daoist partners, they didn't step out of the courtyard all day.
"Grandmaster, my father... he really wiped out the Jiang family..." Li Chao couldn't contain his shock and asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Guyin's face showed a look of relief, and she nodded slowly.
"He not only wiped out the Jiang family, but he also occupied the Jiang family's old residence. In a few days, that will become our Su family's new residence..."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the main hall looked surprised.
Although no one had ever visited the Jiang family's old residence in person, they had heard about it before.
That mansion was originally seized by the Jiang family from a declining powerful clan. A place that the Jiang family coveted and occupied must have excellent scenery and spiritual veins.
After Luo Guyin finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Su Chang'an beside her.
"Chang'an, these next few days go out and find some reliable retainers. Their strength is secondary; the most important thing is that they are upright and trustworthy..."
With Su Fan, a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm ancestor, now in charge, the Su family no longer needs to rely on the strength of their retainers; reliability and loyalty are the most crucial factors.
Su Chang'an quickly replied, "Grandmother, rest assured, I will set off tomorrow to search for you..."
Unable to contain her curiosity, Gu Man excitedly asked, "When can we go to the Jiang family's old house?"
"Let's wait a few more days..." Luo Guyin said thoughtfully.
"I think we should first inform the Demon Sun Divine Palace, and only after they agree can our relocation be considered legitimate..."
She was not as domineering as Su Fan, and her considerations were more thorough and prudent, as this concerned the future reputation of the Su family.
After saying that, Luo Guyin chuckled and said, "It's just that the Jiang family's old mansion is too spacious. With our Su family's small number of people living there, it actually feels too empty..."
At this point, she gave Li Chao and Su Chang'an a meaningful look.
"After a while, you two should hurry up and each take a few more wives and concubines..."
Li Chao didn't object much to what he heard, but Su Chang'an was the first to make a face.
"I still have to pay... I already have eight wives in my house, and they're always arguing and making a ruckus. They're driving me crazy. I really..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Guyin glared at him and shut him up.
"Just do as I say, stop with the nonsense. By the way, your little seventeenth son will be twelve after the New Year, right? It's time to find him a wife..."
“Grandmaster, Seventeen is only a little over ten years old, isn’t that a bit too early…” Su Chang’an quickly tried to dissuade him with a bitter face.
Luo Guyin snorted and said, "What's the rush... Let's get engaged first, and then have the wedding in two years..."
At this point, she looked at Li Chao again, her tone becoming more serious.
“Xiao Chao, you should do the same. Take a few more wives. If Xia Qiao doesn’t agree, I’ll go and talk to her myself…”
At this point, Luo Guyin took a deep breath, her tone full of expectation. "I'm not forcing you on purpose. You'll understand when you get to the Jiang family's old residence. Now that our ancestor has returned, the Su family is no longer what it used to be. Whether the Su family can continue for thousands of years and pass on its legacy depends entirely on you, the younger generation, to carry on the family line..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fan walked into the main hall with great enthusiasm.
He spent the entire day with the three of them in his senior's courtyard, and his brows still carried a hint of languor from the enjoyment of the moment.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and today I truly understand that feeling.
Gu Qinghuan was shy and Li Miaoxue was reserved, so they both restrained themselves. However, the senior sister was always uninhibited and passionate, like a wild horse.
In addition, Su Fan secretly used some tricks, which made even the shy Gu Qinghuan and Li Miaoxue more charming and innocent than usual.
The three Daoist partners were still fast asleep in the courtyard, presumably having been thoroughly exhausted during the day.
Upon seeing Su Fan enter, Li Chao, Su Chang'an, and Gu Man immediately stood up and bowed in respect.
Su Fan waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, then sat cross-legged next to Luo Guyin, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Guyin, I entrust all matters concerning the Su family, big and small, to you from now on..."
Luo Guyin was taken aback and quickly waved her hand to decline.
"Su Fan, you are the patriarch of the Su family, this is absolutely unacceptable..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Fan raised his hand to interrupt her.
"In my early years, I faced numerous perilous situations. By chance, I broke through to the late stage of the Integration Realm, but at a considerable cost. Now, I am riddled with hidden dangers, and for many years to come, I will need to devote myself to seclusion and do my utmost to resolve my own crisis..."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Fellow Daoist Guyin, I will keep my promise to you from last night..."
With Su Fan's current strength, he certainly couldn't help Luo Guyin break through to the Integration Realm, but breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm was really no big deal for him.
He still has many precious pills that were previously bestowed upon him by the upper realm, including many pills that can help him break through bottlenecks.
Su Fan not only had to help Luo Guyin break through to the Void Refinement Realm, but he also had to take care of his three Daoist partners.
He is still a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so his Daoist partner can't possibly remain at the Nascent Soul stage.
There are also Li Chao, Su Chang'an, Gu Man, and many younger members of the family; their cultivation will progress much faster than before.
Upon hearing this, Luo Guyin's expression instantly turned serious, and she nodded solemnly.
"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to do it..."
In fact, over the years, she has been the one to make all the decisions regarding the Su family's affairs, big and small.
In the past, in order to protect the Su family, she always acted with extreme caution and trepidation.
Now that Su Fan has returned, the Su family's power and influence have greatly increased.
At this moment, it is undoubtedly a glorious time for her to take charge of the family, and she can also plan the future of the Su family with more freedom.
Seeing that Luo Guyin agreed, Su Fan felt relieved.
He was already tired of managing family affairs, and even less willing to engage in pretense and intrigue with the people of the Demon Sun Divine Palace. He felt most at ease entrusting the matter to Luo Guyin.
Then, he looked at Li Chao and the other two, his tone becoming more serious.
"As the Su family's business grows larger, you should all rein in your ambitions and focus more on managing the clan's affairs..."
To be honest, he was now somewhat regretful for so easily destroying the Jiang family.
Although seizing the Jiang family's old house and property allowed the Su family to leap from a small family to a medium-sized power.
However, such a sudden and drastic change in circumstances may not be entirely a good thing for the Su family.
If life gets better, the young members of the clan will develop arrogant and domineering ways, bullying the weak and causing trouble, which will destroy the foundation of the Su family.
Therefore, the discipline of the clan's children must be strict, and there must be no slackening whatsoever.
After having dinner with his family, Su Fan returned to his senior sister's courtyard.
The three Daoist partners were still fast asleep, their brows showing signs of fatigue, suggesting that they had indeed expended a great deal of energy during the day.
The way he uses the power of evil spirits is so gentle that ordinary people would find it hard to bear.
Su Fan went to bed early and slept soundly after returning home.
The next morning, my senior sister woke up first.
She straightened up from the tatami mat, stretched, and felt sore all over.
The senior sister turned her head, glanced at Su Fan beside her, and was so angry that her teeth itched.
This guy is so wicked now. I don't know what methods he used, but he's made her seem like a completely different person.
My mother is hundreds of years old, what happened to her?
It's all because of this big bad guy.
At this moment, Gu Qinghuan also woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw her senior sister looking at her with a smile and a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Gu Qinghuan instantly understood the meaning in her senior sister's eyes, and immediately felt embarrassed. She quickly pulled the blanket over her head.
But her senior sister wasn't about to let this opportunity to tease her slip by, and she burrowed into her blankets.
"Are you crazy? What's wrong with you so early in the morning?!"
Gu Qinghuan tried to push her senior sister away, but she couldn't budge her and was instead grabbed and hugged.
"Old Gu...yesterday you...haha...haha..."
My senior sister couldn't stop laughing as soon as she started speaking.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghuan's face turned bright red, and she quickly covered her senior sister's mouth with her hand.
"Are you crazy? Keep your voice down..."
"Hehe...I don't know who it was yesterday, oh...it hurts...why did you pinch me..."
The senior sister rubbed her waist and whispered in Gu Qinghuan's ear.
"Old Gu...have you noticed? Our man's gotten stronger again, haha..."
Gu Qinghuan was easily embarrassed and couldn't stand her senior sister's harsh words. She pushed her away and was so angry that she tried to pinch her again.
The two then started fighting, waking up Li Miaoxue who was standing nearby.
But when she heard the whispers between the two, her face turned red, and she quickly pretended to be asleep again.
Although Gu Qinghuan was shy, she was still from the Demonic Sect, and the female cultivators of the Demonic Sect were much more unrestrained than Li Miaoxue, a girl from the Immortal Sect.
So whenever she thought about what happened yesterday, Li Miaoxue wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
I was just too...
She's never done anything like that in her life, how is she going to face people after this?
Just as Li Miaoxue was lost in thought, she saw a large hand reach out and gently grasp her small hand.
