Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Purple-robed Taoist

Song Qingshan’s heart was filled with both envy and loss.

He envied the fact that Qin Chuan had actually taken the initiative to suggest that Tang Yue’er should follow him.

The loss he felt was that Qin Chuan, who was so close to Song Yan, had never mentioned wanting Song Yan to truly follow him.

However, he was genuinely happy for Tang Zhonghan.

Song Qingshan, looking at the stunned Tang Zhonghan, urged again, "Zhong Han, hurry up and agree!"

"Mr. Qin, I, I..."

It was only then that Tang Zhonghan came back to his senses, and he became so agitated that he couldn’t speak coherently. He wanted to say that he was willing to let Tang Yue’er follow Qin Chuan, but he was too excited to utter a word.

Qin Chuan thought that Tang Zhonghan was finding it difficult, so he explained again, "Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. Yue’er, because she has the Celestial Yin Meridian and inherited Miao Qingfeng’s Lifebound Gu Worm, can only ensure her body won’t have any more issues if she stays by my side."

"One year! All it takes is for her to stay by my side for one year. During this year, I will personally guide her in the Martial Path, and guarantee that she will become a top Martial Artist within the year."

The reason he wanted Tang Yue’er to stay close was to fundamentally resolve her Celestial Yin Meridian problem.

At the same time, he needed the continual production of Celestial Yin Energy from Tang Yue’er’s body to suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison.

Although he had now obtained the Blood Bead and the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, and even the more potent Ksitigarbha Heaven God Sacred Tree, these heavenly treasures could only suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison for a time.

To fundamentally and completely resolve the Kunlun Divine Poison, in addition to the necessary heavenly treasures, he also needed to utilize Tang Yue’er’s Celestial Yin Energy.

Based on his calculations, as long as Tang Yue’er could stay with him for one year, he should be able to completely clear the Kunlun Divine Poison from his body.

After hearing Qin Chuan’s explanation, Tang Zhonghan’s excitement steadied somewhat, and he quickly nodded, saying, "Willing! I am a hundred times willing!"

"Not to mention one year, even if it were for a lifetime, I would be very willing! For Yue’er to be able to follow Mr. Qin, it is her honor."

Qin Chuan nodded, "Since that’s the case, from today, let Yue’er stay by my side."

"Qin Chuan, that, that..."

Song Qingshan wrung his hands, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to bring it up.

Qin Chuan said, "Elder Song, if you have something to say, just speak freely. Between you and me, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about."

Only then did Song Qingshan, with a flushed face, ask, "Qin Chuan, do you mind having one more woman by your side?"

"Hmm?"

Qin Chuan was suddenly confused. What did he mean by one more woman?

Song Qingshan hurriedly said, "You already have Xiao Mengyi by your side, and now there’s Tang Yue’er. Adding Song Yan shouldn’t be a problem, right? After all, you’re young and strong, with plenty of energy."

What does ’young and strong, with plenty of energy’ mean?

Elder Song, have you misunderstood something?

What kind of scandalous words are you speaking?

Do you see me as such a promiscuous philanderer in your eyes?

Qin Chuan, somewhat amused and frustrated, said, "Elder Song, what are you thinking? I want Yue’er by my side because she carries the Celestial Yin Meridian and needs long-term treatment to fully resolve it."

"Besides, because of Yue’er’s special constitution, she is of great help in suppressing the divine poison within my body, and that’s why I want her to stay with me for a year."

He hadn’t intended to explain so clearly, but if he didn’t explain now, he was afraid he’d be labeled a scoundrel.

Xiao Mengyi, as well as Song Yan, were both very important to him, but as for which one to ultimately choose, he still couldn’t make a decision to this day.

Xiao Mengyi was his first woman, and she was also pregnant with his child. By reason, he should choose Xiao Mengyi.

But the fact was, he did not spend much time with Xiao Mengyi, and as for their feelings, there weren’t that many.

As for Song Yan, he was well aware of her feelings for him. Regarding emotions, they were indeed deeper than what he had with Xiao Mengyi.

As for Tang Yue’er, he had never had the thought of having her as his woman.

It was only because of Tang Yue’er’s special constitution, which greatly helped suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison, that he wanted to actively get closer to her.

"Even so, I still hope that Xiao Yan can stay by your side," Song Qingshan said, seemingly determined to have Song Yan follow Qin Chuan.

The women continuously appearing by Qin Chuan’s side were each exceptionally outstanding, and he already felt enormous pressure.

Now, he simply wanted to bring Song Yan closer to Qin Chuan—the closer, the better.

As someone who had been through it all, he knew very well how many women would throw themselves at a young talent like Qin Chuan in the future.

Only by letting Song Yan secure Qin Chuan quickly could he ensure her place in Qin Chuan’s heart in the future.

"This..."

Qin Chuan hesitated at once.

It wasn’t that he utterly refused, but as his memories gradually became unsealed and his martial prowess steadily increased, so too would the dangers he’d face.

The more women he had by his side, the more perilous it would be.

Not only would these women be in danger, but they could also very likely become hostages used to threaten him by others.

If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he would never let Tang Yue’er follow him.

"Grandfather!"

Just as Qin Chuan was at a loss on how to refuse Song Qingshan, Song Yan, with tears in her eyes, suddenly burst in and said in a downcast tone, "Grandfather, since he doesn’t wish for it, please don’t force him anymore."

"Besides, even if you want me to follow him, shouldn’t you at least ask for my opinion? I can tell you now that I don’t want to!"

When she uttered these words, Song Yan felt as if all her strength had been drained.

The sense of grievance and disappointment made tears swirl in her eyes.

"Qin Chuan, thank you for everything you’ve done for the Song Family. I will always pray for you at the Song Family, wishing you a life of peace," Song Yan, after speaking, could no longer control her emotions and tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks as she turned and ran out of the room.

"Xiao Yan!"

Qin Chuan extended his hand, wanting to give chase, but eventually, he did not go after her and let Song Yan run away crying.

Perhaps, it was time for him to disappear from her world.

Qin Chuan looked at Song Qingshan with an apologetic face and said, "Elder Song, I’m sorry!"

Having said that, he turned and left.

"Ah!"

Song Qingshan sighed deeply, feeling a bit unwilling, yet helpless.

Tang Zhonghan comforted, "Big brother, don’t be too sad. Mr. Qin isn’t the ruthless type. He definitely has feelings for Xiao Yan; it’s just that, for some reason unknown to us, he does not wish to implicate her."

Song Qingshan could only offer a wry smile, "I understand all too well, but Xiao Yan is in too deep. If she can’t be with Qin Chuan, I fear she may never marry in her lifetime."

"Children have their own luck. Let’s not worry too much; let the younger generation decide their own lives!" Tang Zhonghan said.

Elsewhere, Song Yan, with tears still on her face, arrived at the artificial stream in the garden that Song Qingshan visited every day.

"Stupid Qin Chuan! Stupid Qin Chuan!"

She kicked at the pebbles on the ground, cursing under her breath while chokingly saying, "How am I inferior to that Tang Yue’er? You’ve only known her for a few days, and you already can’t do without her?"

"You’re just a jerk! A lousy jerk! I’m going to kick you to death!"

What she didn’t notice was, not far behind her, a Taoist in tattered purple robes was approaching with a smile on his face.
