Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 706: Chapter 461: Grand Marshal, Second Only to One, Above Thousands! (Double Chapter)

”Mother, what about that person...” Su Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

The person she referred to was her biological father, Su Fengye.

Though she talked about severing ties with her father, at this moment, she couldn’t help but be concerned.

She knew that Xi Yanxue was determined to end everything with Su Fengye after avenging the Su Family.

If hatred arose from love, it wasn’t impossible for Xi Yanxue to personally deal with Su Fengye.

”Consider him dead; he is not your father. Abandoning wife and child, why pity him!” Xi Yanxue said coldly, her tone indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing did not speak further, her eyes darkening slightly.

”Qingqing, one must look forward and not be tethered by the past,” Xi Yanxue said, softening her tone as she looked at her silent daughter.

These words were meant for Su Qingqing, but also for herself.

After today, there will no longer be a Changsheng Su Family on Cui Bai Dao, and she will sever her ties of love, dedicating herself to cultivation, in pursuit of the elusive Heavenly Dao!

”I understand, Mother.” Su Qingqing nodded, glancing toward Song Changming on the other side.

Although her heart was still heavy with sorrow, she was prepared for this reality. Time would soften all wounds, and she still had her Young Master.

Song Changming did not comment on this matter.

Judging by Xi Yanxue’s tone, Su Fengye might still be alive.

But just Su Fengye alone could not change the fate of the Su Family’s downfall.

”May I ask, where was the Blade Mark Stone Tablet you gifted me from?” Song Changming asked Xi Yanxue, changing the subject to break the tension, and took out the stone tablet.

”I have gained much from this stone tablet. If there are more like it, I would like to seek them out in the future.”

Xi Yanxue, hearing this, did not hide anything and said she stumbled upon it in a primal forest in Yuan Province.

As for similar stone tablets, she had discovered no more.

”If the Young Master wishes to go to that primal forest, I can provide you with the coordinates.” Xi Yanxue added.

”Thank you so much.” Song Changming expressed his gratitude.

If he gets the chance in the future, he will personally visit that area in Yuan Province for a thorough investigation.

Finding more Martial Arts would be a delightful surprise for him.

Suddenly, Song Ping’an came briskly toward them.

”Young Master, Prince Cui and Hu Tomb Grand Marshal are visiting.”

Hearing this, Song Changming immediately stood up to personally welcome Prince Cui and Hu Tomb.

They gathered and sat in a small pavilion within the residence.

”Thanks to Miss Xi and the Fox Mountain experts who came to assist, otherwise I would have been in grave danger!” Prince Cui sat in the seat of honor, laughing heartily.

It was evident that he was extremely pleased having eradicated the Changsheng Su Family, a deeply entrenched threat in Cui Bai Dao for centuries.

After all, this had been his lifelong wish, and now that it was realized, how could he not feel overjoyed and relieved?

”You overpraise me, Your Highness. I was merely fulfilling my promise. Without your resistance against the Su Family Ancestor, there would have been no hope,” Xi Yanxue said with a lowered head.

”The Fox Mountain has maintained friendly relations with our Yunzhou Human Race. From today onwards, whenever the Fox Mountain people visit our Cui Bai Dao, they will certainly be treated as honored guests, without any difficulty!” Prince Cui exclaimed with a grand gesture.

”Then, on behalf of the Fox Mountain, I thank Prince Cui.” Xi Yanxue stood to salute.

The alliance between Cui Bai Dao and Fox Mountain was mutually beneficial.

Resources from each region would flow between the two, benefiting both parties and providing a reliable ally.

Song Changming observed Xi Yanxue. Though she was a Great Demon of the Fox Race, perhaps due to her long stay in the human territory, her demeanor and human etiquette were exceptionally fitting.

Moreover, she had adeptly concealed her Demon Qi; at this moment, she appeared just like a vibrant Huuman Race beauty, indistinguishable from any other.

”Your Highness, were all the remaining Su Clan Members eradicated?” Song Changming asked.

”A few escaped.” Prince Cui shook his head.

This was the slight disappointment he felt, having not been able to completely annihilate the Su Family.

The main reason was that a Martial Arts Grandmaster truly seeking to escape in multiple directions would be challenging for Prince Cui to pursue more than one or two.

”However, with the Su Family’s legacy severed, these scattered Su Clan Members are as transient as floating duckweed, hardly a threat,” Prince Cui said, not worried about the remaining Su Clan Members.

”By the way, Changming, you contributed greatly to this battle, indispensable indeed. I would like to have you serve as Grand Marshal of the Military Department, commanding a million troops. Are you willing?”

Upon hearing this, Song Changming was taken aback for a moment and instinctively looked toward Hu Tomb.

After all, Hu Tomb was the current Grand Marshal and had also made significant contributions despite severe injuries during the battle.

Without his earlier delaying, Song Changming and the Fox Mountain forces would not have arrived in time.

”No need to look at me. Only when you succeed to the Grand Marshal position can I take up a position in the Prince’s Mansion,” Hu Tomb gestured, indicating his readiness for promotion.

”Prince Cui, as you know, I have just reached the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster, and focusing on my cultivation will take substantial time in the future...” Song Changming stated, not readily accepting the promotion.

He thought the Grand Marshal position, overseeing the entire military department, would involve many responsibilities, potentially diverting his time and energy, affecting his regular cultivation, and thus not worth it.

After all, his ultimate goal of rising step by step was only to acquire resources to strengthen himself, and he couldn’t let this become counterproductive.

”Changming, once you become Grand Marshal, you can establish your own office and recruit capable advisors to handle daily affairs for you, sparing you from personal toil,” Hu Tomb, sharing his experience, advised.
