Jin Yichuan: Commander Su, I've come to bring you good news

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Magpies chirped on the branches, and Su Changqing practiced the Overlord Saber in the courtyard.

Jin Yichuan arrived with his men, knocking on Su Changqing's commander's door.

"Great news, great news, Commander Su!"

"Are you getting married? Congratulations, congratulations!" Su Changqing sheathed his saber, opened the door, and cupped his hands.

Jin Yichuan was startled and quickly said, "The good news is from you, Commander Su, haha, I'm still a long way off."

He had recently come into a windfall. The large pearl from the Thousand-Year-Old Clam had been sold!

The entire Suppression Bureau's annual salary wasn't that much, and he had received a share.

It was a pity that his senior brother, Jiaqian Jushi, had come to ask for money again.

Inside Su Changqing's courtyard, the two sat down at a bluestone table.

"Commander Su, after Commander Zuo broke through to the Earth Fiend realm, his strength has increased even further. Although our Suppression Bureau suffered considerable losses in the battle at Yuanlong Mountain, we also let people witness our strength."

"Especially you, you were astonishing to all twelve divisions. Even Guihai Yidao has inquired about you."

"He also cultivates the Overlord Saber."

"But he's in the Earthly Mandate Division, and it doesn't concern us much. As soon as Commander Zuo woke up, he submitted his promotion request. From today onwards, you will be the Commander, a third-rank official, and you can meet the Divine Marquis," Jin Yichuan congratulated him.

He waved his hand slightly, and a nearby Imperial Guard immediately brought forward a jade box. It contained a waist token shaped like a dragon.

As if stained by too much blood, blood lines were interwoven on it. It was crystal clear and as red as a flower.

"Isn't this Commander Zuo's?" Su Changqing frowned.

"He has already become the Suppression Bureau's Suppression Envoy. He specifically asked me to give you this waist token."

Jin Yichuan's eyes held a hint of envy.

"This is the first piece of good news. There's another piece of good news, guess what? It has something to do with Tai Long."

"Tai Long?" Su Changqing's heart stirred.

"Don't keep me in suspense. I'm not staying for lunch."

"Tsk, tsk, Tai Long gave our Suppression Bureau a great gift before he died. Guess how much that large pearl sold for?" Jin Yichuan chuckled.

Hearing this, Su Changqing understood.

"Ten thousand taels?"

Jin Yichuan waved slightly, signaling the two Imperial Guards beside him to retreat, and looked at Su Changqing.

"A full one hundred thousand taels! Three chests of real silver and gold were carried into the Suppression Bureau's main hall. I was stunned at the time. I'd never seen so much money in my life..."

"Who did you sell it to?" Su Changqing asked in shock.

The Azure Dragon Crescent Blade he had destroyed was worth at most ten thousand taels. Selling it for twenty thousand would depend on opportunity, after all, it was a blade used by a descendant of Guan Gong.

"The Central King's Consort," Jin Yichuan said softly.

"This is the second piece of good news. Someone has arranged a matchmaker for you. Su Changqing, tell me, isn't this good news?" Jin Yichuan laughed heartily.

Su Changqing was rarely stunned, which made Jin Yichuan smile even more.

"This woman is as beautiful as a flower, with skin like condensed snow, incomparable to ordinary women. She is the niece of the Central King's Consort, named Lin Yuchan. Commander Zuo has acted as a matchmaker for you in this matter. You should go and meet her one day."

Jin Yichuan spoke until his throat was dry. He picked up his teacup, about to drink, when Su Changqing forcefully snatched it back.

"When did I need a matchmaker?" Su Changqing stared at him.

"The Suppression Bureau's Little Guan Gong, Su Changqing, risked his life to save Commander Zuo. Everyone knows this. You saved the Lin family father and daughter, and the Central King's Consort had already investigated you thoroughly."

"You also said your name was Chen Mo, and then Ye Ronghuo. Your story was inconsistent. When the people from the Central King's mansion came, they spoke in front of Commander Zuo, making me laugh so hard..."

Jin Yichuan burst into laughter.

The two Imperial Guards outside the door stood guard silently, listening to the laughter from inside.

Jin Yichuan usually didn't talk so much, only when facing peers would he be like this.

"Don't be unwilling. The Central King only has one wife, and that is the Central King's Consort. They have no children. Lin Yuchan is their beloved niece, and she has already been conferred the title of Princess Yuchan. If the blind date is successful, you will become the Princess's Imperial Son-in-Law."

"In the future, I will have to address you as Imperial Son-in-Law," Jin Yichuan said, looking at Su Changqing with a smile.

Soon, Jin Yichuan left, having arranged for the two to meet for a blind date at Full Moon Tower in three days.

Su Changqing stood alone, his brow furrowed.

"This matter will ruin my efforts and cause me to fail by a narrow margin. I will meet her once to put an end to this."

He could not become an Imperial Son-in-Law; that would be jumping into a fire pit.

Su Changqing still remembered the matter of A Chinese Ghost Story.

In the depths of the palace, dark and quiet, beside a rockery, Li Lianying, dressed in a red robe, sat reclined in a grand chair, his eyes cold.

Beside him was a jade-faced eunuch, with a gentle gaze and a face like polished jade.

"Yu Huatian, I told you to kill that troublesome brat back then, but you didn't. Now he's gained influence, and even the Central King is taking a son-in-law."

"If he becomes the Imperial Son-in-Law, won't I have to bow when I see him?"

Little did anyone know, Su Changqing had saved Lin Yuchan and left a deep impression on her.

He even went so far as to have the Central King purchase the Thousand-Year Old Clam's pearl at a high price.

The Central King wasn't short of money; what rare item hadn't he seen? What was this?

The jade-faced eunuch beside him, his eyes darting, gently shook his head. "Eunuch Li, that won't happen. Director Cao won't let this succeed."

"Besides, what low status does Su Changqing have? The Central King's Consort would absolutely not allow it," Yu Huatian said softly.

"I'm certain this won't happen!"

"Ji Xingyue cannot be touched for now. I need to find an excuse to kill this brat, otherwise, he's as annoying as a fly," Li Lianying's eyes turned slightly cold.

What a "Little Guan Gong" nonsense! In front of him, even dragons had to cower!

"I've already made arrangements with the West Factory. They will deploy four experts at the Eighth Level of Xiantian. The day of the arranged marriage will be the day Su Changqing dies..."

A deep, chilling coldness flickered in Yu Huatian's eyes as he looked at the back of Li Lianying's head, wishing he could claw out the man's brains.

However, on the surface, he smiled and cupped his hands respectfully.

In three days, Su Changqing had reached the second level of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art.

The Eagle Claw Technique, Nianhua Finger, and Four Seasons Cloud Falling Steps were all perfected.

"Profound Heaven True Qi is truly remarkable. My aptitude was originally not high, yet I grasped everything quickly. Cultivating martial arts is like eating and drinking."

Su Changqing, dressed in snow-white robes with a crimson sash, a Dragon Blood Jade hanging from his waist, slowly stepped outside.

Today was his arranged marriage.

Full Moon Tower, located on Changfeng Street in Chang'an City, was a place Su Changqing had visited before and where he had obtained an opportunity.

It stood three stories tall, the largest restaurant in all of Chang'an City, and was an establishment of the Central King.

Su Changqing gazed at the building and calmly entered.

In a private room on the third floor, a woman in white was already waiting. Dressed in a white and gold embroidered long dress, immaculate, with a slender and elegant figure and skin like congealed snow, she gazed out the window.
