Chapter 542: Chapter 536: Regret (5 Updates)

Time swiftly passed by.

Finally.

Su Chen arrived.

And Qin Li had dressed up and put on makeup with great care!!!

The young girl looked even more beautiful, and the moment she saw Su Chen, Qin Li immediately hooked her arm through Su Chen’s, "Brother Su, do I look pretty tonight?"

"Pretty!" Su Chen nodded, telling the truth, but he was not at ease. Having entered the Qin Family, although it wasn’t teeming with people, there were still quite a few around.

With Qin Li hanging onto him like this, he was the center of attention!

"Brother Su, come on, let’s go to the hall for dinner!" Qin Li joyfully said, "Grandfather is waiting for us..."

Su Chen felt curious, as Qin Li’s grandfather seemed quite open-minded!

Very soon.

They entered the hall.

There was a table full of mouthwatering dishes, and sitting by the table was an elderly man who was a bit lean but had a rich blood qi.

When Su Chen walked in, the elder glanced at him and said, "Sit!"

Su Chen sat down.

Then.

There was no then.

After that, Qin Zhengzhong didn’t say another word, eating his meal as if he had forgotten Su Chen’s existence.

It was extremely awkward.

Thankfully, Qin Zhengzhong left after a while.

Only Su Chen, Qin Li, and Qin Du were left.

"Hmph, Grandfather is doing this on purpose!" Qin Li huffed, "Brother Su, don’t mind Grandfather. He’s just become senile. Let’s enjoy our meal!"

As she spoke, she served dishes to Su Chen.

But Su Chen was puzzled. If the Qin family patriarch didn’t approve of him, he could have sent him away; if he approved, he should have inquired about his background.

Not saying a word, what did it mean?

It was too weird.

"Brother Su, after we finish dinner, let’s go to Chasing Moon Pavilion!" Qin Li whispered, "Once we return from Chasing Moon Pavilion, Grandfather will seek you out. Not only will he offer you a chance, but he will also provide you with much information about the participants in tomorrow’s Qiuqing Martial Path exchange competition!"

"What’s the Chasing Moon Pavilion?"

"A nice place!" Qin Li said with a mysterious smile.

Su Chen couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss, especially with Qin Du’s hesitance at his side, but he didn’t ask further.

After an hour.

They finished eating.

"Brother Su, let’s go!" Qin Li was somewhat excited, clutching Su Chen’s arm tightly.

Qin Du followed them with a stiff expression, staying close to Su Chen and Qin Li’s side.

As the three of them left the Qin residence, Qin Zhengzhong suddenly spoke from his attic, "Qin Xian, follow them. You don’t have to do anything; just watch. When you return, report everything to me without missing a word, understood?"

"Yes!" An additional shadow appeared in the air, somber and with a deep voice.

Walking on the street, Qin Li initially seemed in a good mood, but as they drew nearer to Chasing Moon Pavilion, her expression gradually turned solemn.

There was even regret and unease.

"What’s wrong?" Su Chen noticed.

"Nothing..." Qin Li shook her head.

"Sis, let’s go back!" Qin Du said softly, feeling even less at ease than Qin Li.

"Shut up!" Qin Li glared at Qin Du, then turned to Su Chen, "Brother Su, Chasing Moon Pavilion is a bit special, be prepared!"

"Oh!" Su Chen guessed something but didn’t ask further, his interest in Chasing Moon Pavilion piqued instead.

A little while later.

Qin Li and Qin Du’s steps involuntarily slowed down.

But Su Chen was captivated by a pavilion!

In the distance, what met his eyes was a White Jade Crystal Stone Tower that was entirely snow-white. Even in the darkness, it shimmered with a very beautiful white jade light.

The tower had only three levels.

It was situated in the middle of a lake.

Moonlight sprinkled down, and the reflection of the pavilion rippled in the lake water, appearing truly beautiful.

However, despite such a beautiful pavilion and such a beautiful scene, there was not a single person by the lake, making it seem very cold and deserted.

"Is that Chasing Moon Pavilion?" Su Chen pointed.

Qin Li nodded, "Pretty, isn’t it?"

Su Chen also nodded.

Qin Li’s eyes held a misty look, "Unfortunately, despite its beauty, Little Du and I have never entered it..."

"Why not go in?" Su Chen curiously asked.

"The Chasing Moon Pavilion is off-limits!"

"Off-limits?" Su Chen glanced at Qin Li, expressing his disbelief.

"Sister, are we still going into the Chasing Moon Pavilion?" Hearing Qin Li say the Chasing Moon Pavilion is off-limits, Qin Du’s eyes shone, and he hurriedly asked.

"We’re not going in! I’ve already said it’s off-limits!" Qin Li declared, giving Qin Du a fierce look.

On their way there, her desire for Su Ling to enter the Chasing Moon Pavilion had grown weaker and weaker.

Especially now that they could see the Chasing Moon Pavilion, she completely chickened out.

She feared that if Su Chen got seriously injured or something happened to him inside, she would regret it, and she wouldn’t know how to explain to Sister Qing Wu. She shouldn’t have made that bet with Grandpa.

"Sister, you..." Qin Du was at a loss for words. It was you who wanted to make that bet with Grandpa, you who pledged so confidently, and now it’s also you who doesn’t want to enter. Sister, what exactly are you trying to do?

Qin Li and Qin Du’s conversation didn’t make Su Chen ponder deeply; all his attention was on the Chasing Moon Pavilion.

Quickly, they reached the lakeside.

"There’s a wooden bridge over there; let’s go across!" Suddenly, Su Chen said.

"What?" Qin Li gasped, then shook her head vigorously, "No, admiring the Chasing Moon Pavilion from here is quite nice!"

"Let’s get closer! The Chasing Moon Pavilion is apparently built entirely from White Jade Crystal Stones; I want to have a closer look!" Su Chen insisted.

"But..." Qin Li grew anxious.

"What’s the matter? If we can’t enter the Chasing Moon Pavilion, we can’t even get closer?"

"It’s not that!"

"Then let’s go!"

Qin Li took a deep breath, comforting herself that they’d just cross the bridge, just get closer—no entry required!

The three of them stepped onto the bridge.

"This wooden bridge is also made of some pretty decent material! It’s actually all made from Ten Thousand Years Spirit Wood!" Su Chen was somewhat surprised. The owner who built this bridge must be extravagantly wealthy!

"Of course it’s good," Qin Li thought to herself. The Third Prince of the Xuanfeng Dynasty owned the Chasing Moon Pavilion; he had it constructed along with this bridge. Could his spending be anything but lavish?

They crossed the bridge.

They arrived in front of the Chasing Moon Pavilion.

The entire Chasing Moon Pavilion was built on a platform above the bridge. The area wasn’t large, just about two hundred square meters, most of which was taken up by the White Jade Crystal Stone Tower.

"Li Er, is it truly forbidden to enter this tower?" Su Chen asked again.

"No... It’s forbidden!" Qin Li shook her head.

"Strange, I sense the presence of Martial Cultivators inside!" Su Chen muttered to himself, but he wasn’t sure.

Qin Li whispered to herself, "Of course there are Martial Cultivators inside, there are people inside, but the White Jade Crystal Stone Tower is said to block the sensation of a Martial Cultivator’s Qi. How can Brother Su sense it? Why can’t I feel anything?"

"Li Er, I really want to go in and take a look!" The next second, Su Chen spoke again, his desire to enter and view the lakescape from the third level of the attic was genuine.

"You really... really can’t!" Qin Li shook her head vigorously, "Brother Su, let’s go! I’m feeling a bit cold!"

Cold?

Su Chen found it extremely odd.

Martial Cultivators could feel cold? Besides, Qin Li was a Martial Cultivator of the Seventh or Eighth Level of the Divine Power Realm!

However, Qin Li’s complexion did look somewhat off.

Very pale.

"Qin Li, what’s wrong with you?" Su Chen frowned slightly, asking.

"No... It’s just a little cold, a bit tired, I want to go home and rest!"

Su Chen could only nod, "Then let’s head back!"

Qin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But just at that moment!!!

Suddenly...

Phew!

A rich aroma of wine suddenly spread all around.

At the same time, Su Chen’s head and shoulders got wet, drenched by the spilled wine.
