It Must Have Been Su Li Shamelessly Pursuing Me!

A childhood betrothal?

Su Chen froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

That made sense.

Ning Fengzhi had only one daughter, Ning Rongrong. Her future husband was best chosen from within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Given the talent he had displayed.

He was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

But...

Thinking of Ning Rongrong's spoiled young-lady temperament, he felt he could put up some resistance first.

"Sect Master, marriage is no trivial matter. I think it would be best to discuss something like this after we come of age."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

He did have such thoughts, but seven parts of what he had said earlier had been meant to tease his daughter, while the remaining three were to test Su Li.

Who would have thought...

This child could refuse such a temptation at such a young age.

After all.

If he became engaged to Rongrong, half of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be his in the future.

Moreover, he was confident that his precious daughter was naturally beautiful. No man should have been able to refuse her.

Yet this little fellow had no such thoughts right now...

Ning Rongrong had been a little shy just moments ago, but upon hearing Su Li's words, she immediately glared at him and huffed angrily.

"Hmph! That's what I think too!"

"Besides... this young lady would never like him!"

The girl snorted coldly, forcefully bumped Su Li's shoulder, then quickened her pace and left their sight.

It looked like she was angry?

Su Li found it rather baffling.

The two of them hardly had any feelings for each other. At most, they had become somewhat familiar over the past two and a half months.

It wasn't enough for her to have fallen for him, was it?

Although his looks rivaled Sasuke's, surely it wasn't that exaggerated?

Su Li was mildly confused, but he did not dwell on it.

The smile on Ning Fengzhi's face remained, though it had become a little strained.

He had only been joking.

But...

It seemed there really was a problem.

Could his precious daughter truly have fallen for this boy?

Forget it. Young people's affairs should be left for them to handle.

As an elder, he should not interfere too much.

"Su Li, from now on, the two of us will be responsible for your cultivation."

"Take your pick. Do you wish to cultivate the Pure Jun Sword first, or the Space Blade?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The three men looked intently at Su Li.

Though they did not know much about twin martial souls, they understood that in the early stages, one could only cultivate one first.

It was best to cultivate the second martial soul after reaching Soul King.

That way, the soul rings of the second martial soul could all be ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Gu Rong immediately could not sit still. He patted his chest and bared his white teeth. "Kid! Cultivate the Space Blade first!"

"I guarantee I'll teach you well!"

Chen Xin lifted his teacup and shot him a cold glance.

"The sword governs slaughter. Your space ability is mostly useful for defense and escape. Cultivating the sword martial soul first is the correct choice for him."

"Bullshit! Space is the true path! Old sword bastard, got the guts to step outside and fight? Whoever wins gets to decide which one Su Li cultivates!"

"Hmph. You think I'm afraid of you?"

Su Li and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance, neither knowing what to say.

They had been calm and peaceful just moments ago.

How had they suddenly come to blows?

Su Li knew he had to step in. He could not let them actually fight, could he?

"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, stop arguing."

"I plan to cultivate the Pure Jun Sword first."

As soon as he spoke.

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Gu Rong's face as he gazed sadly at Su Li.

Chen Xin, meanwhile, wore an expression that said he had expected this all along. With his hands behind his back, he stood with righteous dignity.

"Smart."

"Isn't swordplay far stronger than space?"

Gu Rong curled his lip. He found Chen Xin especially irritating today.

It made him want to beat him up.

Half a second later.

He sighed helplessly and made one final attempt.

"Kid Su Li, are you really not going to think it over again?"

"Mm... thank you for your kindness, Grandpa Gu, but I still want to master methods of killing as soon as possible. Only then can I better protect the sect."

Su Li spoke without blushing or missing a beat. The sincerity in his eyes made Ning Fengzhi more satisfied the longer he looked.

He wished he could arrange an engagement for the two of them on the spot and bind Su Li tightly to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Unfortunately.

One of them had no interest.

The other was too stubborn to admit it.

Who knew when they would finally get together?

"Since that is the case... Xiao Li, you will live on the mountain beside Rongrong's from now on. I'll arrange for someone to prepare your room."

"You two are close in age and should have common topics to talk about."

"I spoiled Rongrong ever since she was little, so please be more understanding with her in the future."

Su Li nodded and softly agreed.

In his view.

None of this was a problem.

He was only six years old now. Changing someone at this age was far too easy.

Not long after.

Su Li went to the outer sect to pack his things.

Then, accompanied by a maid, he headed to his new residence.

It was a clean and elegant courtyard.

It covered around a thousand square meters, with rows of bamboo planted around it.

Whenever the wind blew through, it made soft rustling sounds.

The air was sweet, and all was silent.

It was the perfect place for quiet cultivation.

"Young Master Su, the room has already been prepared. Please take a look. If there is anything else you need, the Sect Master said we would do our utmost to provide it."

Xiaolan respectfully bowed. Out of the corner of her eye, she secretly studied the young man seated on the stone chair before her, a trace of amazement flashing through her eyes.

Though he was still young, she could already imagine just how handsome he would become in the future.

By then.

Perhaps beautiful women throughout the continent would fall for him.

Xiaolan silently mourned for the young sect mistress for three seconds.

She felt that.

In the future, the little princess would likely lie awake all night because of this young master.

"There's nothing else. Go rest first."

Su Li spoke indifferently.

"Very well. If you need anything, Young Master, simply call for me."

Xiaolan replied gently.

Then she slowly left.

In the courtyard, Su Li took a sip of tea before picking up the Pure Jun Sword.

"Let me see... just how strong this body's talent truly is."

Su Li murmured softly. Then, following the memories in his mind, he began practicing the basic sword art from the game.

He had deliberately spent a great deal of money to buy it back then. Though it was only a basic sword art, once practiced to the limit, it could even achieve unity of man and sword!

Flowers, grass, trees, and wood could all become swords!

Its drawback was that it required enormous amounts of time to practice.

For example, swinging the sword ten thousand times every day.

But.

For him.

Time was what he lacked least right now.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Each time Su Li swung his sword, it sliced through the air with a sharp whistle.

At the beginning.

His movements were still extremely clumsy.

But as the memories became clearer and his feel for the sword grew more familiar, he entered a profound state.

Meanwhile.

Still fuming, Ning Rongrong looked toward the bamboo courtyard not far from her own and irritably scratched at her hair.

What exactly does that guy mean?

Our houses are so close, and he didn't even come over to say hello?

Does he expect me to go to him?

Stupid jerk!

If he wasn't the one taking the initiative, how could he possibly marry me in the future?

Could it be... that I was the one who took the initiative?

That thought suddenly rose in Ning Rongrong's mind, and she hurriedly shook her head.

"Pah, pah, pah! How could this young lady possibly take the initiative!"

"It must have been that guy shamelessly pursuing me, and that's how we ended up together!"

"Mm... that must be it!"
