Chapter 68 Appointment

  Su Nan didn't want to argue with Er Shu, after all she was Chen Tong's elder. But the current situation made him have to speak up, because Er Shu was clearly blaming him right there.

  "After all, whether or not it is happiness cannot be determined by others, the most important thing is Chen Tong's feeling, only when she feels happy is it true happiness."

  "She's still a kid, what does she understand? In another year or two, her thoughts will definitely change. We're all experienced people who are genuinely good for her and will make the most correct choice for her. And that choice, obviously won't be you!" Auntie Er's words were sharp and directly pointed out that Su Nan wouldn't be on their list of choices.

  Su Nan smiled lightly and stopped arguing with her. From the moment he entered, observing the old man and woman, it was clear that Second Aunt's personality would not be to their liking. In other words, regarding Chen Tong's matter, she would only express her opinion now, but ultimately, she wouldn't have any influence on the old man and woman's decision. Su Nan didn't need to continue debating with her here, otherwise, it would only lower his impression in the eyes of the old man and woman.

  Although Su Nan no longer spoke, Second Aunt did not give up and continued to talk non-stop. In short, if Chen Tong and Su Nan were together, they could only live a miserable life. And the purpose of Su Nan approaching Chen Tong might also be to take advantage of the power of Chen's family.

  Ning Yu couldn't bear to listen anymore, "Second Aunt, it's not fair for you to speak like that. Do you know Su Nan? How do you know Chen Tong will only suffer if she follows Su Nan? Don't you know, just a few days ago, Su Nan helped them treat an illness and received a villa worth tens of millions as the medical fee?"

  "What?" Second Aunt looked disbelieving, "He's still treating patients at his age? Who would dare to find him? Besides, he charges tens of thousands for a single consultation, who's life is that precious?"

  "Ning Yu..." Su Nan pulled Ning Yu's arm, not wanting her to make a fuss. In Chen Tong's home, one had to give Chen Tong face.

  Ning Yu herself didn't realize that she was unwilling to let Su Nan suffer, and shook off Su Nan's hand, continuing to say to Er Niang: "Liu Tian Shi's son, I wonder if this life is precious or not? Is it worth tens of millions?"

  "What?" Second Aunt was even more disbelieving. "Liu Tian's son is ill, what kind of doctor can't be found? Is it necessary for this young man to treat him?"

  "Shut up, don't say anymore." The old lady interrupted and said to Erniang, Su Nan and Ning Yu were guests who came to their home, but as the host, they were arguing with them endlessly here. If others knew about it, they would laugh at their family for not knowing how to treat guests.

  "Xiao Su, don't be modest, tell us how you treated the Liu family back then." The old lady asked. On the surface, it was giving Su Nan an opportunity to show himself off, but also testing him, to see if what Chen Tong and Ning Yu had said about treating the Liu family's illness was true or not.

  The old lady asked questions, and Su Nan naturally wouldn't hide anything, recounting the situation at that time.

  "What?" This time it was the old lady's turn to be surprised. "You're saying that Liu Shaozhou has been poisoned with evil spirits and let in yin evil energy?"

  "What evil poison, what yin and yang energy, this is purely nonsense, completely a set of tricks to deceive people!" Second Aunt seized the opportunity to belittle Su Nan again, "Mom, don't believe his nonsense, there's no scientific basis for it at all."

  "Don't speak!" The old lady rarely scolded Erniang severely. After reprimanding Erniang, the old lady looked at Sunan and said, "How did you know these things? How do you know those are yin evil spirits?"

  "This..." Sunan scratched his head.

  It's like a person standing on the road watching cars coming and going, asking someone next to them, "How do you know it's called a car?" Often such a simple question is really not easy to answer immediately.

  "Have you learned kung fu and can practice internal power?" The old lady asked another question.

  Su Nan nodded, "Yes." He also became interested in the old lady, unexpectedly she knew these things. In the army, Su Nan had seen many people who claimed to have practiced martial arts, but none of them had internal energy. To the point where, when talking about internal energy with them, they all thought that internal energy did not exist at all, it was just an empty boast of the ancients, or a fabrication by authors.

  Clearly talking about internal force with Su Nan, apart from Grandfather, this is still the first person.

  "Do you know of any martial arts that can cultivate internal power?" Su Nan carefully asked the old lady. After being in the army for so long, he had not been able to verify this question, which made Su Nan realize that the kung fu he had learned was not ordinary. In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, he usually only used his internal power and did not discuss it with others. Internal power is just a kind of gas, colorless, shapeless, and tasteless. Since others do not believe in it, even if he uses it, others will not understand the situation.

  "Later Xiao Tong and her grandfather will come out, you can talk to Xiao Tong's grandfather then." The old lady said, changing the subject and not mentioning it again.

  After a while, Chen Tong and the old man came out of the study. The old man was in front, his face calm, and nothing could be seen from him. Chen Tong followed behind, but there was a hint of a smile on her face. Apparently, her conversation with the old man had achieved a pleasant result.

  Just now, after hearing the old lady say it, Su Nan had been guessing in his heart. When he came in, he heard the old man's voice and felt that he might be a martial artist since his energy was full. When watching him write, his energy was focused on the word, so he didn't observe the old man carefully again. Now hearing the old lady talk to him about martial arts, this idea became even more solidified. So when the old man came out of the study again, Su Nan kept staring at him.

  "Indeed!" Seeing the old man's steady and rhythmic pace, Su Nan nodded to himself in confirmation of his judgment. The old man had definitely practiced martial arts and had a hint of internal energy. According to Su Nan's division of the ten levels of internal energy, the old man's current internal energy had already reached the peak of the second level.

  "Dad!", "Daddy!"

  Chen Tong's second uncle and aunt stood up together, shouting at the old man, but their eyes were asking about the result of his conversation with Chen Tong.

  "Never mind," said the old man, "I've already promised Xiaotong that I won't interfere with her choices during her school days. We'll discuss specific matters after she graduates."

  Of course, the old man still had something to say, that is, after Chen Tong graduated, she must put her affairs on the family meeting for discussion and decision, and cannot violate the conclusions made by the family.

  The old man and the old lady, although still having a literary demeanor and not catering to the vulgar, also have to consider their children. Now, as long as the old man is still around, outsiders will be cautious and no matter what, they will leave some face for the Chen family. But if the old man were to pass away, the Chen family's power would lose its foundation. Therefore, they also need to seek powerful external support.

  "Dad, how can this be?" Erniang was anxious first, "Xiaomei has already agreed to meet with them tonight and discuss this matter in detail. If you make such a decision, how will we explain it to them later?"

  The vice governor's voice is very high, and it can be said that it will be a certainty to become the governor in one or two years. The most likely thing is still to be the governor of this province. At that time, this will be a powerful assistant, plus Chen Tong's father himself was also the deputy mayor of Pu City, the Chen family in Tian City is still a top-tier family. And who benefits the most from Tian City is not Chen Tong's family, but her second uncle and aunt's family. This is also the reason why they are working hard to make this thing happen.

  "Alright, no need to say more. Xiaotong is still young, and when the time comes, just explain it to them properly and they will understand." The old man waved his hand, not taking this matter to heart. As long as he was around, let alone a vice-provincial governor, even if it were the provincial governor himself, no one would dare to offend him without good reason. And as for his health condition, as long as there were no unexpected events, he could still live for another decade or so without any issues.

  The old man had never suspected Chen Tong's relationship with Su Nan, because in important matters, Chen Tong had never lied to her family. So when the old man saw Chen Tong leading Su Nan into the house, he knew she had made up her mind, and after talking to her, he gave them a few years' time.

  Seeing the old man's determination, Second Aunt didn't dare say anything more. After all, this family was still controlled by the old man.

  "Old man, just now Little Su said that he knows martial arts and can practice internal power." The old lady whispered to the old man.

  "What?" The old man was no longer calm, almost shouting out in surprise, his eyes wide with excitement as he stared at Su Nan, "Little Su, is this true? You know martial arts and can cultivate internal energy?"

  "Yes." Su Nan nodded in agreement, he also knew what was going on, why the people he used to know who had practiced martial arts before couldn't cultivate internal energy.

  "Come on, follow me to the study." The old man stood up solemnly and said to Su Nan.

  As they sat down at the desk, the old man finally spoke up and asked Su Nan, "Little Su, who did you learn your martial arts from? As far as I know, there is no Su surname among the various hidden world families."

  "My martial arts skills were taught by my grandfather." Su Nan replied with a sentence, and then asked back, "What do you mean by this hidden world family?"

  "You don't know about the Hidden World Family?" The old man was even more surprised, "How is this possible? If you're not a member of the Hidden World Family, how can you cultivate internal energy with your martial arts?"

  Su Nan shook his head in confusion. He had originally wanted to figure out the reason, but instead, he was even more confused after hearing what the old man said.

  "Are you also from a hidden world family?" Su Nan asked the old man.

  "Not good." The old man shook his head with a hint of disappointment. He had just observed Su Nan, but couldn't see through his depth at all. This situation could only be explained in one way: Su Nan's skills were far superior to his own. After practicing hard for a lifetime, he was still inferior to a young whippersnapper, which was difficult for him to accept.

  But in fact, it is indeed so, people from non-mystical families cannot learn advanced martial arts.
