C118 The taste is good

"The benefits will be known after you join us." Windshadow didn't argue.

Su Jue shook his head: "Unless you give me a direct quota, then there's no need."

"My Blacksmith's Association does not participate in this year's Grand Meeting, so we don't have any placings. However, if you want to participate, we will not object. However, you have to follow the normal procedures."

"In that case, farewell."

Su Jue laughed, according to the rules, if there were no rules, then it would be limited, but he could not be too formal, the Wind Shadow could clearly see his strength, the test was obviously just a formality, yet he still had to go through the procedure.

This was the old-fashioned way.

This was the first time since he had become a chief elder that he had been rejected so straightforwardly by a young man. For a moment, he was unable to say anything and could only watch as Su Jue left!

After leaving the Refiners' Association, just as Su Jue was about to go for a stroll in the city, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in front of him.

"Shen Mengqi, what's the matter?"

Shen Mengqi was a little depressed. She didn't know what made Su Jue feel uncomfortable, and every single time, Su Jue's tone would be that cold.

"I only came on behalf of my father to invite you to the Shen family." Shen Mengqi turned and said.

"No need, I still have things to do." Su Jue said as he told you to leave.

"You're just a guest. You don't even dare to come here?" Shen Mengqi said angrily.

Su Jue laughed, he knew Shen Mengqi was provoking him, but what Shen Mengqi said was true, being a guest was not a big deal.

"In that case, let's go." Su Jue laughed.

Shen Mengqi then revealed a smile, and the two of them continued to walk on the main street.

"Su Jue, I saw the Refining Association's assessment today." Shen Mengqi said.

"Oh." Su Jue nodded.

"Did you know that being able to refine the Black Gold Sand outside the furnace is something that many young people in Free City can do? It requires a profound strength of 24 levels and a solid foundation."

"I don't think that's a big deal." Su Jue shook his head. In fact, he could not only refine the materials outside the furnace, but when he reached Earth Fiend Realm.

Shen Mengqi was somewhat helpless. After being silent for a long while, she suddenly stopped her footsteps and said: "Su Jue, just where have I made you hate me?"

This was a question she had been wanting to ask all along, but had not done so because of her identity.

Su Jue was a little confused, and said: "I don't think you're hateful, but we aren't that familiar with each other either. You're just a little girl that I saved while I was at it."

Shen Mengqi was startled. Little girl?

"You!"

Looking at how Shen Mengqi was holding his breath, Su Jue could not help but find it funny, and said: "Why do you want to get into a relationship with me?"

"Who wants to enter into a relationship with you?" Shen Mengqi glared at Su Jue and her face turned red.

While talking, Su Jue had already seen the Shen family's mansion.

"Look, isn't that the young miss of the Shen family? Who's that young man beside him?"

"The two of them are so close!"

"Didn't they say that the young miss of the Shen family has always disliked men? Why is he so close to her today?"

"Haha, there's going to be a good show, I heard that Sword Lake Palace Yun Bugui is also going to come here soon, that guy already announced that Miss Shen is his woman."

Su Jue and Shen Mengqi's walking side by side instantly caused the passersby to gasp in surprise.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. I don't have any relationship with that Yun Bugui. It's just his wishful thinking." Shen Mengqi replied.

Su Jue laughed, he did not expect that just being in the same group as him would cause him to offend someone for no reason.

However, he did not care, since warriors were established in the heaven and earth, how could they be afraid of too many enemies?

"You've explained so much to me. Could it be that you're afraid of me misunderstanding you? Don't tell me that you've fallen for me?" Su Jue's narcissism again.

"You're such a narcissist!"

As Shen Mengqi spoke, she took a step into the Shen household.

"Welcome!"

Just as Su Jue entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man smiling at him.

"You are the head of the Shen family?" Su Jue asked doubtfully.

"Little brother, you guessed right, I am Shen Zhongshan, the Patriarch of the Shen family." The middle aged man who called himself Shen Zhongshan laughed.

Su Jue nodded his head, thinking that there was a reason why the Shen family could become the head of the three great families.

Although Shen Zhongshan was the Patriarch of the Shen Family, he treated him well. With such a Patriarch, the family would naturally flourish.

"I am Su Jue from the Cloud Alliance!" Su Jue laughed.

"I know, using your own strength to turn the tide, defeating your own second uncle to save your father who was suffering, and completely overturning the Yun Alliance, you can be said to be extremely famous in the Tianwu City." Shen Zhongshan laughed.

Su Jue laughed, Shen Zhongshan must have investigated about him after he told him about the Twelve Links Dock, and the matter regarding him in the Cloud Alliance was not a secret, so he would definitely investigate and find out.

"Not only that, you used your own strength to eliminate the twelve docks. Right now, the legend of the devil Su Jue is circulating around the river." Shen Zhongshan continued.

"Demon Su Jue? This is not a good reputation. " Su Jue laughed.

"Although the title is unpleasant to hear, but the title that the bandits used to refer to me as, now that I'm with you, I can tell that you've made a statue of the people. Your merits are not shallow."

"I think Patriarch Shen didn't invite me here to praise me." Su Jue did not want to continue with this matter. After all, he had his own selfish motives for destroying the Twelve Piers.

"Alright, let's talk inside."

The three of them went into the discussion room, and Shen Zhongshan sat beside Su Jue: "Little brother Su Jue, I have invited you here today as a form of gratitude, my daughter's life was saved by you, you are my daughter's benefactor and my Shen Family's benefactor, I offer tea as a gift."

Su Jue laughed, he deserved this cup of tea.

"In addition, there is another matter. I hope that little brother can join my Shen family and become a refiner of my Shen family. What do you think?" Shen Zhongshan went straight to the point.

Su Jue actually liked Shen Zhongshan's personality, he laughed: "I, Su Jue, have always liked freedom, I do not need to talk about joining, but if Patriarch Shen trusts me, I can represent your Shen family and participate in this competition."

Shen Zhongshan and Shen Mengqi were startled.

"Su Jue, you want my Shen family to give you a quota that you have set?" Shen Mengqi asked.

"That's right, and you won't lose out!" Su Jue said.

Shen Mengqi couldn't help but look at Shen Zhongshan.

Shen Zhongshan laughed: "Alright, you are Qi'er's savior. A fixed position is nothing."

Su Jue frowned. The meaning behind Shen Zhongshan's words displeased him as he said: "I saved Shen Mengqi on a whim, and just now, Patriarch Shen has already offered me tea. You guys no longer owe me anything, so if you want to repay me for saving my life, then this quota is fine."

"Su Jue, what do you mean, my life is only worth a cup of tea!" Shen Mengqi was instantly displeased.

Shen Zhongshan looked at Shen Mengqi and said: "I know that Little Brother Su Jue is a gentleman that does not receive food from others, but my Shen Family and Free City have our own set of rules, the quota is set based on one's own strength, even Qi'er is the same."

"If I said that it was to repay the favour, no one would be unwilling to accept it. However, if I said that you earned it through your ability, the disciples under you would not accept it." Shen Zhongshan sighed.

"You mean that your Shen family is going to take the examination as well?" Su Jue said.

"That's right, the exam of my Shen family is not that complicated, and there aren't that many people. As long as you can win against my Shen family's refiners, you can get a placing." Shen Zhongshan said.

Su Jue nodded his head, what Shen Zhongshan said was right, he had confidence in himself, that was what he said, other people did not know, so he wanted to use his own strength to prove it was the best way.

"Alright, I will join your Shen family temporarily, but we agreed that we will leave once the competition is over."

Su Jue, I know you don't want to waste your time, so I will announce to the clan that you are the last candidate for the position, at that time, someone will naturally come to challenge you, and as long as you win the challenge, the position will be yours. Shen Zhongshan stood up and said.

"That's good." Su Jue laughed and immediately bid farewell to the father and daughter of the Shen family. He returned to the inn and brought empty air over to the Shen family to stay.

At the same time, news of him taking over the Shen family spread.

In just a night's time, a rumor had started to spread in the city that Shen Mengqi had someone she liked, and that person was already living with the Shen family.

Su Jue was also aware of the rumor, he reckoned that it would not take long for the rumor to spread around the city unless the Shen family came out to fend off the rumors.

"Su Jue, the news of you becoming a candidate has already spread throughout the entire family, and very soon, people will come to challenge you. Amongst them, my cousin Shen Jian Feng is the strongest," Shen Mengqi spoke nonstop beside Su Jue.

"I don't care who they are. Go and tell them that I will be waiting for them at the Shen family's Martial Arts Stadium tomorrow afternoon." Su Jue looked at Shen Mengqi and said.

"Are you not afraid? You must know that my cousin Shen Jianfeng is also a sixth level blacksmith. You've met him!"

"You just need to do as I say. Also, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by others by staying in my room in the middle of the night?" Su Jue said.

Shen Mengqi stared at Su Jue, then laughed: "What are you afraid of, what do the things they send them to me have to do with, but you need to be careful, I have many pursuers."

"That's right. If you put it this way, I was actually taken aback. There was clearly nothing, yet I built so many enemies in one night." Su Jue said.

"What? Are you afraid?" Shen Mengqi laughed.

The corner of Su Jue's mouth raised, his smile had some evil intent, and he said: "I just think, that I'm being too unfair, and that's why."

With that, Su Jue turned around and started to size Shen Mengqi up.

Shen Mengqi trembled in fear, she immediately shrank back and asked: "What are you doing?"

"In any case, the word has already spread. If I don't take advantage of this, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"

Before Shen Mengqi could react, Su Jue had already pulled Shen Mengqi into an embrace, and then lifted Shen Mengqi's chin and kissed him.

"Wuuu" Shen Mengqi's eyes widened, she never thought that Su Jue would actually be so daring to just tell her about the marriage, and more importantly, not only did he kiss her, his hands were even moving around her body.

"No!"

Just as Su Jue's hand was about to reach its peak, Shen Mengqi used some unknown force to push him away.

"Su Jue, you actually dared to forcefully kiss me." Shen Mengqi pointed to Su Jue.

Su Jue laughed and said: "The taste is not bad, it's very soft, very fragrant!"

"You!" Shen Mengqi was angered. Even though she was not happy, she could not hate Su Jue.

"What about me? Are you still not leaving? Are you going to warm my bed? I don't mind." Su Jue laughed.

Shen Mengqi was completely speechless, then suddenly, she found the courage to scold: "Su Jue, your mouth stinks!"

Su Jue was stunned, he was immediately confused, thinking that the woman's thoughts were just too complicated.

"Hmph." Seeing Su Jue being so bored, Shen Mengqi seemed to be extremely happy, and she smiled as she left Su Jue's room.

Su Jue shook his head, he then slowly closed his eyes and started to meditate, preparing to challenge tomorrow.
