Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts
#355 - Let's talk about cooperation (4000 words)
Xu Ming would not acknowledge this person as his mother.
Nor would he acknowledge a grandfather he had never met.
What a joke?
Just because of blood relations, she is his mother? And just because of blood relations, that sect leader is his grandfather?
Xu Ming would not acknowledge it.
‘Chen Suya’ smiled slightly: “I know that in your heart, there are many thoughts, and I can understand your current hostility towards me, it's normal.
After all, as far as you are concerned, I almost personally killed your biological mother before.
But, no matter how you deny me, I am your mother, and you are my child, the flesh and blood between us will not change.
Child, it is my blood that has always flowed in your body.”
“Flesh and blood are flesh and blood, emotions are emotions, I acknowledge you are my mother, but my mother is not ‘you’.” Xu Ming said calmly.
Hearing Xu Ming's words, Chen Suya was stunned for a moment, then the corner of her mouth hooked up: “Your personality is not like mine, but like your father's, really, it would be nice if your personality was also like mine, alas…”
Xu Ming: “I am me.”
“Alright, alright.” Chen Suya's words carried a bit of doting, as if she was looking at her rebellious son, it seemed that no matter what Xu Ming said, to Chen Suya, what Xu Ming said was right.
“We've chatted so much about this and that, you haven't told me what you want to talk about?” ‘Chen Suya’ looked at Xu Ming with a smile, “Let's talk business, what conditions did that Martial Emperor finally agree to?”
Xu Ming did not immediately answer Chen Suya's words, but looked at Chen Suya, thinking about what this woman was thinking in her heart.
To be honest, Xu Ming didn't know how ‘Chen Suya’ really viewed him.
Although she kept saying that he was her son, in reality, Xu Ming didn't believe that she could have much affection for him.
Most cultivators, the higher their realm, the more they value themselves, and the more they downplay things like blood relations.
In the hearts of most cultivators, there is actually only themselves.
“Does the Canglan Sect want revenge?” Xu Ming asked ‘Chen Suya’.
‘Chen Suya’ was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “What are you talking about?”
“You know what I'm asking.” Xu Ming directly confessed to the other party, not wanting to continue beating around the bush, “The Martial Emperor told me that your Canglan Sect obtained something two hundred years ago, and then this thing caused the encirclement and suppression of ten sects in the Northern Wilderness, so I'm asking you, does your Canglan Sect want revenge?”
Listening to Xu Ming's words, Chen Suya looked at him with interest:
“In that battle of extermination, less than one in ten cultivators of the Canglan Sect survived, even your maternal grandfather died in battle, do you think I want revenge?
I am not a stone, I am also a person, you may not believe me when I say this, but your mother is very sentimental.
After the Canglan Sect was destroyed, I was thinking about revenge all the time.
I want to smash the bones of those bastards and pull out their tendons one by one!
Those guys thought that everything was over, but what they don't know is that they will definitely pay the price for their actions!”
Listening to Chen Suya's words, Xu Ming knew that everything she said was true!
That kind of heartfelt anger, how could it be concealed?
“Since you want revenge, then we can cooperate, to be precise, the Canglan Sect and the Wu Kingdom will cooperate.” Xu Ming continued, “It is very difficult to succeed in revenge by relying on yourself alone, and the Wu Kingdom can help you, with the help of the Wu Kingdom, you will be much, much more comfortable.”
“Is all this the Martial Emperor's intention?” ‘Chen Suya’ asked, “Did the Martial Emperor ask you to say this to me?”
Xu Ming nodded: “That's right.”
“Then what do I have to do?” ‘Chen Suya’ looked at Xu Ming curiously, “You don't want to obliterate yourself, do you? That won't do, I have to take revenge myself, my other personality doesn't understand anything, she's just an ordinary woman, and Ming'er, if you let ‘Mother’ commit suicide, then Mother will really be very sad.”
Xu Ming shook his head: “I won't let you commit suicide, and you won't commit suicide either, I know, this is an impossible request for you, so how about we each take a step back?”
Chen Suya smiled: “Okay, but how are we going to take a step back?”
Xu Ming looked at Chen Suya seriously: “I want you to sign a contract, guaranteeing that you will not obliterate my mother's personality in this lifetime.”
“.”
Xu Ming and ‘Chen Suya’ looked at each other.
Both of them fell into silence.
Xu Ming waited for ‘Chen Suya’s’ answer.
To be honest, Xu Ming didn't know if ‘Chen Suya’ would agree to his request.
But in Xu Ming's view, this was his bottom line, if even his mother's personality could not be preserved, then there was no need to talk about anything.
But in other words, this was also the only thing he could do now.
Before he found other ways, he could only do this first.
Anyway, he would first protect his mother's personality, and then talk about it when he found other ways in the future.
‘Chen Suya’ raised her head, looked at the sky, and sighed softly: “It seems that the Martial Emperor treats you very well, I didn't expect him to have done this for you, making it seem like he is your biological father.”
“The Martial Emperor is indeed very good to me.”
Xu Ming nodded, a gentleman judges by actions, not by intentions, no matter what kind of considerations the Martial Emperor had in his heart, the Martial Emperor was indeed very good to him now.
And in fact, in other words, the Martial Emperor was indeed his “father”, because he had done that to someone's daughter.
“Heh heh heh.”
‘Chen Suya’ smiled and continued.
“But, the Martial Emperor is not just doing it for you alone, the Wu Kingdom has a long-standing feud with the Northern Wilderness.
Moreover, the Wu Kingdom is close to the Northern Wilderness and borders the Demon Kingdom of the Southern Border.
Although the ten dynasties of your Central Plains talk about helping each other, in reality, they are secretly tripping each other up, no one trusts anyone.
Only after the Wu Kingdom takes down the Northern Wilderness and integrates with the Northern Wilderness, if something happens in the Demon Kingdom of the Southern Border, then the Wu Kingdom can still shrink back to the Northern Wilderness, at least it will not face the danger of being夹击 and the possibility of being sold out by the Central Plains Dynasty.
But your Wu Kingdom can't find a breakthrough, and our Canglan Sect has been in the Northern Wilderness for ten thousand years, although the Canglan Sect has been destroyed, it still has a lot of connections in the Northern Wilderness.
Not to mention that many people from our Canglan Sect escaped and developed their forces incognito.
With our help, it will be easier for your Wu Kingdom to obtain the Northern Wilderness.
You have to remember, besides your mother, no one will be good to you for no reason, if the other party is good to you, then there must be another purpose.”
“I know.” Xu Ming didn't expect that ‘Chen Suya’ would see the essence of things so quickly.
At the beginning, he was almost moved to repay the Martial Emperor with his life, and it was not until he left the palace and sat in the carriage that he reacted.
It can only be said that she is worthy of being a Celestial Realm cultivator, and she was also the Sect Leader before.
“Then do you accept or not?” Xu Ming asked, “It won't be easy to take revenge by relying on your Canglan Sect alone.”
“emmmm”
“Chen Suya” thought seriously.
“I accept~ Why wouldn't I accept? Anyway, there is no loss for me, and you are right, the Northern Wilderness is also a behemoth, and there are many sects supporting it, it is very difficult to overthrow the other party by relying on our Canglan Sect alone.” Chen Suya said with a smile, “And I not only promise you, but I also guarantee that I will not always occupy the body of ‘your mother in your heart’, how about it? Am I kind enough?” Xu Ming: “.”
Xu Ming didn't expect her to agree to his conditions so readily.
“Don't look at me with that kind of eyes.” ‘Chen Suya’ sighed, “I said before, even a tiger won't eat its cubs, I am your mother, how could I always watch you be vigilant against me every day, and then be worried and unhappy all day long?”
Xu Ming: “.”
“I know you don't trust me very much, but it doesn't matter~”
Chen Suya stood up and said to Xu Ming: “Let's go.”
Xu Ming: “Where to?”
“Silly child.”
Chen Suya stretched out her finger and gently flicked Xu Ming's forehead.
“Where else can we go, of course we are going to the palace, what's the use of me talking to you about this? Of course I'm going to talk to your so-called Majesty, I also want to thank him for taking care of my child all these years~”
Xu Ming: “.”
Xu Ming wanted to say something, but Chen Suya had already walked out of the courtyard.
“Madam.”
“Madam.”
When some servants saw Chen Suya coming, they quickly saluted.
Chen Suya also smiled at them slightly.
In the Xu residence, Chen Suya's matter has not been known to the servants.
Although there was a lot of noise that night, and even a few close maids knew about it, the old lady had already ordered that anyone who gossiped would have their tongues pulled out.
The rules of this kind of large family are still very strict, so from beginning to end, most people only knew that something happened in Xiaochun Courtyard that night, but they didn't know what happened.
Walking and walking, Chen Suya encountered the old lady, Xu Shuiya, and Xu Zheng.
When they saw Chen Suya coming, the three of them trembled in their hearts, and they didn't dare to speak for a while.
They didn't know whether the person in front of them was the sensible and reasonable wife and mother, or the unfamiliar 'Chen Suya'.
After ‘Chen Suya’ saw them, she walked forward with a smile.
‘Chen Suya’ curtsied: “This humble woman greets the Old Madam, greets Lord Xu, and wishes my husband well.”
Listening to her tone, something felt off. The Old Madam and the others from the Xu mansion all looked at Xu Ming, their eyes seemingly questioning him about what was going on and who exactly she was.
Xu Ming sighed: “She is not my mother.”
Xu Ming didn't know what to say, so he could only answer like this.
And Xu Ming's answer was enough.
The way the others looked at Chen Suya became even more complicated and wary.
“The three of you don't need to look at me like that.” Chen Suya said with a smile, “Suya still has to thank you for your care over the years.”
“You are too kind, Miss.” The Old Madam was, after all, old and had seen a lot of the world, so she calmed down quickly.
“I still have some matters to attend to and must enter the palace to meet the Emperor, so I won't keep you company. Please forgive me.” ‘Chen Suya’ said.
“It's alright, it's alright, Miss's affairs are important.” The Old Madam said with a kind smile, as if afraid she would suddenly turn violent and kill someone.
Chen Suya nodded, and after curtsying to the three of them again, she walked out of the Xu mansion.
Xu Ming and Chen Suya got into the carriage and headed to the palace.
Xu Ming had already obtained permission to enter the palace directly without notification.
Xu Ming directly led Chen Suya into the palace, and a palace maid had already hurried to report.
Chen Suya walked in the palace, looking left and right, as if reminiscing about the past.
“This palace has been here for two hundred years, and it still hasn't changed much.” ‘Chen Suya’ said with a smile.
“You've been here before?” Xu Ming looked at ‘Chen Suya’.
“I have.” ‘Chen Suya’ said with a smile, “Don't underestimate your mother. Your mother has been to many places.”
Xu Ming: “…”
‘Chen Suya’ glanced at Xu Ming and said with a smile:
“Some things that your mother can tell you, she will, but some things that your mother can't tell you, she won't.
But you must know that the reason your mother doesn't tell you is not to guard against you, but for your own good.
Many things are forbidden if your realm is not high enough.
If your realm is high enough, you will naturally know many things.”
Xu Ming felt a little uncomfortable: “Are you lecturing me?”
“Yes ~” ‘Chen Suya’ smiled even more, “I am your mother, isn't it natural for a mother to teach her child? There is also one more thing, Ming'er, you must remember it clearly, the more beautiful a daughter is, the more likely she is to deceive people. Don't trust girls completely.”
Xu Ming: “…”
Xu Ming ignored Chen Suya.
Not long after, Xu Ming and Chen Suya arrived at the Imperial Study.
Wei Xun was already waiting outside the Imperial Study.
“Greetings, Number One Scholar, greetings, Madam.” Wei Xun said with a smile, as if he didn't know anything. His acting skills were very good. It could only be said that he was worthy of being the Emperor Wu's favorite.
“Eunuch Wei.” Xu Ming bowed.
Chen Suya also curtsied.
“You are too polite.” Wei Xun stood up straight, “Madam Xu, His Majesty is already waiting for you in the Imperial Study.”
“Understood.” Chen Suya pushed open the door and walked in.
Wei Xun bent down and closed the door.
Xu Ming looked at Wei Xun.
Even though Xu Ming didn't say anything, Wei Xun knew what Xu Ming wanted to ask: “Number One Scholar, His Majesty only allowed Madam Xu to enter alone.”
